[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;39139642]You can kill him with backstabs and parry/ripostes. He drops a titanite chunk and possibly a black knight sword. The item behing him is the blue tearstone ring, it increases your defence when you're at low health, it's shit.[/QUOTE] Hmmm. Well it would be better than the nothing I have right now. Besides I just wanna kil him just to do it now, and a new sword would be pretty sweet. Any tips about backstabbing things? I've managed to pull it off on some undead but it seems pretty touchy. Parrying I can mostly do, though.

For a chain backstab wait until the enemy is amost to his feet before you circle around behind him. Don't be afraid to bug out and find a more open area, black knights follow you much farther than other enemies.

Thanks, gonna go try one more time before going to bed. Also I've had some Gold Pine Resin for some time and I just found out what it does oh god that's awesome [editline]8th January 2013[/editline] oh FUCK what is wrong with me Well, I killed him, and got the sword AND the shard, then when and got killed by a hollow. Does he respawn? Should I bother fighting my way back through there or is he just gonna be back?

[QUOTE=Rats808;39139808]Black Knights don't respawn.[/QUOTE] With the exception of the ones in the Kiln of the first flame.

[QUOTE=Rats808;39139808]Black Knights don't respawn.[/QUOTE] Alright thanks. Got the ring. Ooooone last question: How do you tell what stats you need to wield a weapon?

Any guides on how to forward ports so I can summon people?

Nito's the guardian I really felt conflicted about killing...like his role felt more important.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;39139600]Nito is a wimp. He's one of the easiest bosses to kill. Even in the intro Gwyn, Seath and the Witches of Izalith fuck up a bunch of dragons and all he does is blow away a root.[/QUOTE] that was a dragon's tail

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;39140128]that was a dragon's tail[/QUOTE] So then the dragon was just sitting there chilling like the Everlasting Dragon. Damn the stone dragons were chill, Ash Lake is my favorite location and the dragon there is my favorite NPC, he just doesn't give a fuck about anything.

[QUOTE=riku2211;39139849]Alright thanks. Got the ring. Ooooone last question: How do you tell what stats you need to wield a weapon?[/QUOTE] Look at the weapon in your inventory, press X(assuming 360 controller, no clue what the keyboard button is) to see more detailed stats, including stat requirements. BKS needs 24 strength I believe.

So my friends want me to go to an anime convention in March in my state, and I really want to do a Dark Souls cosplay. I was thinking about going as a Dark Wraith. Making the pieces of the set black and red. Would be super awesome.

Wrap yourself in red christmas lights for bonus points.

Frampt cosplay. Surely you can do this.

Biggie or Smalls But you should seriously go as Solaire.

do the iconic black knight [editline]8th January 2013[/editline] enjoy your squeezed head

I'm not doing Solaire. Too many Solaire running around.

Do Patches.

Think I'm gonna make a video on "How to Play Dark Souls" Gonna be an actual video, helping people out, but not as boring.

So I decided to try something new... I jumped back on my level 102 archer and hang around the forest for some invaders. Except this time, I brought poison arrows. The plan was to eliminate the NPCs, place some prism stones/items down in a certain area, and wait for the invaders to stand in that spot. Once they were there, I would lodge an arrow right into their brain, inflicting poison. Things actually went pretty well, as far as the trap goes. Everything after was bad. I successfully managed to headshot every single invader that fell for the trap, however, none of them became poisoned from just one arrow (I read online that headshots with a poison arrow will deal more poison). After I shot them, they quickly started running around trying to find me. It usually took them a couple of minutes to actually find me, even when they didn't fall for the trap. Sometimes when they did find me, I was able to run away far enough to hide behind some trees again, making them search for me all over again. I never poisoned anyone though, and I never actually killed any of the invaders. I would always get ganged up by two phantoms. It is funny watching them run around the forest looking for me though.

Should get that huge greatbow thing and shoot them off the edge of cliffs

I think I might start using this as a faith-based rp sun-bro/invasion build. [url]http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=281026858165883749[/url]

Is the claymore worth upgrading?

Yes

I can't get the HUD scaling in DSFix to work -- it always stays the same. Does anyone know of a workaround or is it simply not working in 2.01? e: also, if anyone could share their SweetFX config, that'd be pretty swell as well.

[QUOTE=TheKnife;39142787]Did you set enableHudMod to 1[/QUOTE] I have. I'm stumped.
