Where's Snorlax?

I recently picked this game up, and I managed to work my way to the Depths after dying 500 times to the Capra Demon because I have no strategical knowledge whatsoever. I think this is the only game which has managed to actually make me shit myself during a sewer-like level. Falling down a pit fall to be greeted by some demon things spitting smoke at you wasn't very pleasant.

I fought the Capra Demon, since when is the Capra demon hard, I remember kill the damn thing in 4 hits last playthrough.

I'm pretty sure this question has been asked a million times before, but how do I aim my bow shot without locking onto something?

You beat the dogs and you win, it's the first few seconds that determine whether you win or lose.

Press block while 2 handing it. Won't work with crossbows though.

[QUOTE=junker|154;37536142]My friend and I started a new playthrough together as a deprived, we set our goal of only using clubs. Holy shit clubs are totally devastating if you max up your strenght, it does incredible damage and is absolutely brutal. :v: I call my club meatbasher.[/QUOTE] No shit, it's the only hammer that scales with strength at an A rating :v:

[QUOTE=DeeCeeTeeBee;37536527]I sort of wish there were more burden levels. like, <15% being batshit fast.[/QUOTE] There are. [url=http://darksoulswiki.wikispaces.com/Equip+Load]The fast roll has 4 different speeds.[/url]

[QUOTE=Novangel;37543544]Press block while 2 handing it. Won't work with crossbows though.[/QUOTE] Alright. Is there any way I can zoom in further?

[QUOTE=Liem;37543567]He kept doing the same jump move and crushing me, then he left me to the fucking dogs[/QUOTE] Immediately run to the right and do a roll if he swings at you, head up the stairs and he should follow you up. Drop down and kill the dogs, they shouldn't follow you upstairs so they should be alone. After they're dead it's just a matter of lunge attacking the demon from the stairs and dodging the odd swing.

I'm past him now, Just had to go get my ember and then leave and never go back to that place

[QUOTE=gaminji;37543604]Alright. Is there any way I can zoom in further?[/QUOTE] On consoles it's up and down on the directional pad, I believe.

Why do rats drop so much humanity, I've gotten 10 after going through the depths once.

The last necromancer in the catacombs is supposed to drop a skull lantern. I got through it but he didn't drop shit which means the necromancer that I killed and fell over the edge a long time ago must have dropped it. Well, tomb of the giants is never getting finished.

[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;37544060]Why do rats drop so much humanity, I've gotten 10 after going through the depths once.[/QUOTE] because rats are human duh

[QUOTE=gaminji;37544130]Isn't there a place before the Tomb where you can get a Sunlight Maggot from some bugs?[/QUOTE] I'd need to get to Lost Izalith but Demon Ruins lags like crazy for me. I can barely get past anything down there because it's constantly 15 fps.

Now I'm going to make an endurance + vitality build for PvP that uses 0% equip load and I'm just going to run around and punch my enemies to death. It might take a while, but knowing I can roll faster than them, I shall overcome any obstacle they throw at me (or swing).

Does the same thing apply to DWGR-powered ninja flips? I.E. are ninja flips faster at 0% weight than at 25% weight?

I checked the OP and don't feel like trawling through the thread so I'm just going to ask, how's the PC port? /v/ says it's awful but /v/ says everything's awful.

Other than that it runs great with the resolution fix.

you should know better than to trust /v/ on face value. playing with kb+m is fucked, kb only is fine, if you have a controller it's great. get the fix, forward your ports and dont rage if you find people hacking, it was bound to happen. get it because it may be a shitty port but it runs great every problem is easily solved

Though it has its perks, being faster load times, crisper graphics with the patch, and a consistent 30fps on the computers that can handle it. The game itself is great, but if you have a console you're probably better off getting that and waiting for the DLC, you won't have to deal with as many cheaters, either.

I.E. are ninja flips faster at 0% weight than at 25% weight?[/QUOTE] I honestly have no clue, but I think it's a pretty safe assumption it wouldn't, it would make sense to me if it stayed the same speed throughout so you can carry the full 25% without any movement/roll penalty.
