Dark Souls - Xbox 360/PS3 PTD Edition

360, I beat those bastardly gargoyles after getting gang-raped about 20 times and rang the bell. So where to now that is actually survivable? The graveyard is a no go. I'm not built for Drake Valley, do I got to the place where the ghosts that I can't hit or use magic on are running around on the foggy water or something? The gate with the fat and depressed knight is closed. I'm kind of low on options here it seems.

Technically, you should go and ring the 2nd bell tower now, which is down below. You can get there a number of ways. Also, try Dark Root Garden, Basin and Forest.

You can get there by going down the steps from the Bonfire by the gate of Sen's Fortress. When you see Andrei the Blacksmith, go down the steps by him. Watch the Titanite Demon. You can kill or run past him.

I started a new character who currently has an SL of about 18. If you're playing on Xbox, I can drop a summon sign and we can co-op when ever. I'm assuming your level is somewhere in the 20's? Might be in the 30's now since you made that post though.

I'm on PS3. And I did go into that forest area after I found out about a soul farm cheat, though I'm feeling pretty cheap about having done it though considering the game is all about dying until you can finally get by on pure skill. I'm like level 50 now. But no more soul farming for me from here on out.

I was good until the gargoyles kept overwhelming me, after that the temptation was too much and I went a little overboard.

Still getting my ass beat too. That's how bad I suck.

360 · Post by **360** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 4:24 pm

LOL. I specifically joined the Forest Hunter covenant to kill people doing that soul farm trick.

Now I'm a Dark Waraith.

My main char is level 67. I'm on the final 4 bosses of the game.

You should probably fight the 4 kings or Orenstein and Smough now.

If you wan to join the dark wraiths, kill 4 kings before you kill orenstein.

I wanted to join the blades of dark moon but i killed Patches before I learned the gesture required.

I was going to get this for PS3 but that's in the living room and my xbox is in my "man room". I'm sure you get the jist. lol

This game looks awesome, but I generally play games on "Easy" mode and I'm in it for the story generally, I hate having to re-do the same shit over and over when I get stuck - I take it this is not the game for me?

No easy mode, not much of a storyline to this game at all and you will die a ton of times and be forced to re-do stuff if you hope to make any progress. Speaking of redoing stuff, I almost broke my controller trying to get past those archer knights on the ledge of the castle in Anor Londo. That was some of the most infuriating shit ever.

You should stay away. Being challenged is the whole point of playing this game - it's like climbing Mount Everest.

I finally beat it.

Jesus Christ that game was tough. I seriously hope the people over at from software find a way to add a storyline into their next installment. This game was great but if it had a story behind it I think it would cross over into amazing.

Were you playing alone or teaming up with people online?

Forever alone.

Although a few times I got invaded somehow. Still not sure how that works.

You might want to read that post of yours out loud and remember it's

.

Seriously though, props on completing the game.

The Aluminum Falcon · Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:21 am

Thanks. And yeah, I probably should have tagged a nh on the end of that statement.

Nerd Tip: Get the latio sword and max it out to +5 lightning. Fast as hell, even with strong attacks, has good range, and rapes hard (nh). Only issue is it has only 80 durability so remember to repair it at the bonfire.

Fuck yeah!

The additional content hits consoles later this year. Looks crazy.

New Enemies ג Abyss Guard, Chained Prisoner and more
New NPCs ג Hawkeye Gough and more

PVP Online Matchmaking System - Quick matching for co-op or PVP in an arena-style PvP

Fuck yes. Arena style pvp is what I've been waiting for

Excellent news. I love this franchise.

Spartan · Post by **Spartan** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 9:00 am

This is selling for dirt cheap right now. Debating whether to pick this up or wait for an eventual rerelease that includes the DLC.

Don't mind a challenge, but is it so difficult that it's almost masochistic?

Combo7 · Post by **Combo7** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 12:56 pm

The difficulty is appropriate. I played the game to completion offline without the assistance of any other players. Most of the challenge comes within the first few hours, in my opinion. There'll be a point at which you've gotten good enough that dying becomes a rarity.

Spartan · Post by **Spartan** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:38 pm

Cheers for the info. I guess I'll try it out.

Gather 'round ye pros. Let us prepare to die together..

Combo7 · Post by **Combo7** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 7:10 pm

Just merked the Four Kings on NG+ and am psyched for more. Will this become available right at midnight or do I have to actually go to sleep tonight?

360 · Post by **360** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 7:12 pm

Depends on your time zone. IIRC, xbl servers run on pacific time, and don't release new content until about 2 am.

So, being in NY, I am going to sleep. lol

360 · Post by **360** » Wed Oct 24, 2012 1:48 pm

I was hoping it would be bigger, but the arena is awesome.

Combo7 · Post by **Combo7** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 9:56 pm

Yeah, seemed like it was over just as soon as it was getting started.

Did you kill Kalameet?

Combo7 · Post by **Combo7** » Sat Oct 27, 2012 11:15 am

Wow, just saw this. Japanese vs. NA box art. Typical.

I did. I also cut off his tail which took forever.

The japanese always get better box art. I remember reading somewhere that the american box art is that way because they thought it wasn't as meaningful as the japanese thus will generate more sales because it is rather generic. Something along those lines.

Why the fuck can't I kill Gwen on NG+??
