[QUOTE=Banned?;23278242]You can kill the dragon ya know. Take a while, but you can. You get a soul worth 30,000 too.[/QUOTE] I killed the red dragon with my cleaver, but for the blue one I would need a bow, and I only have a shitty one, so I have a feeling it would take a while (and a shitload of arrows). Do Kunais work well against the blue dragon? [editline]06:31PM[/editline] Holy shit, the wiki says "500+ arrows and a white bow". Now I guess I won't have the stats for the White Bow, so those 500 arrows probably multiply tenfold with the compund bow. [editline]07:19PM[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIV9hqn42sY[/media] Might just try th-FUCK I already used the required Pureblood soul. Yeah this playthrough has been quite a trainwreck really.

If you're willing, make a new character and look up some builds. A Dexterity build is potentially the most flexible build in the game and can use a ton of weapons in both PvE and PvP. Also, Kunai are not good. As for that video, you need to use Poison Cloud as he is immune to Death Cloud now.

[QUOTE=177cheese;23277102]It also works with killing that old king for his kickass light armor. The one on the first level that is in the temple guarded by the red eye knight on the bridge. (Pure white only I think)[/QUOTE] Yeah, pity it's male only though.

Gotta love the wiki. I wanted Black CT, and the wiki tells me to kill the 2-1 Filthy Man, because he is relatively useless. Yeah sure, he's useless if you like grinding a shitload for hardstone shards later instead of buying them for a joke (300 souls and I can easily get 15000 in 1 minute). Anyway time to get poison cloud, but first I'll try killing that damn dragon.

I made a new character, and I am stuck on the Flamelurker again. I always get him down to less than 30% of his health before he starts to burn white hot and goes into unlubricated buttrape mode. I've been using the crescent falchion from world 4-1, the purple flame shield, and holy arrows against him.

[QUOTE=Dashiel;23296609]Yeah, pity it's male only though.[/QUOTE] In that case, get the Binded Cross set from Miralda. Female equivalent.

False King is dead, finally. That final two-handed swing with the cleaver to his back was immensly satisfying. Now I'm on NG+, so far so good, the enemies die in 1 hit of the cleaver (except for the blue knights, those take 2) and don't do too much damage (of course this won't last, I can bet the difficulty will spike pretty soon).

At my first couple tries of the game it was hella hard, then I started a Temple Knight and used the cleaver and it was pretty much easy mode. Except for those goddamn gargoyle bosses. Hated them so much.

Magicians kick ass, killed the Red Knight at SL 6.

I really need to start on my BBS character. I always start really ass early in the morning (like 1am) and go to bed and totally forgot about it.

Holy fuck, I just finished 5-2 in one go! I never have to go there ever again ever! (Don't remind me about NG+ please.)

They better make a fucking DLC for that broken Archstone. Land of the Giants or whatever. Sounds like it would invert my colon just from looking at it. EDIT: Or just Demon's Souls 2. Sounds like SCEA will be publishing the next one. Hopefully they don't get invasive but you know they will. SCEA wants Demon's Souls 2 but I don't think it'll be as good as this one if there's a big time publisher dipping his nose into the development process.

Excuse the shameless bump, but I feel this game needs some more appreciation.

It's really easy once you get the hang of it and take it slow. The bosses aren't that hard, more like the levels you have to go through that's hard and the stupid mistakes you make along the way.

Although once you get to your newgame+ or newgame++ you'll start to feel the burn.

The first New Game+ really shows you if you built your character correctly.

SO MANY LATES. But but... why. I also fucked up my first character, new game + is WHOOOOAH, so gonna start over. But gonna need some motivation first.

lates lates everywhere I heard someone talking about raiding? I thought this was single player only.

[QUOTE=adamater;24212654]lates lates everywhere I heard someone talking about raiding? I thought this was single player only.[/QUOTE] DS has a multiplayer mode. Not exactly like an MMO, but you can invade another persons game. You know, like whenever. And it's pretty intense actually. And also call for a blue phantom to help you in an instance.

Sorry for bumping but I got this game earlier for Christmas and well... THOSE FUCKING SPEAR-GUYS. FUCK THEM.

[QUOTE=8BitLord;26971413]Sorry for bumping but I got this game earlier for Christmas and well... THOSE FUCKING SPEAR-GUYS. FUCK THEM.[/QUOTE] Observe the notes, don't approach until higher level. Red Eye Knights will kill the fuck out of you. Also, getting a PS3 after my old one was stolen. I can finally play this any time I want. I'm too happy :)

There is a fun and super cheesy way to kill the Red Eye Knights super early, but don't spoil it. Run the game once without looking stuff up. It's a lot of fun. :v: Also, off topic but I think the US servers life was extended for "as long as possible" says Atlus. :v: So cool.

At the very [b]least[/b] the servers for all Western regions will be shut down in march

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;26971918]At the very [b]least[/b] the servers for all Western regions will be shut down in march[/QUOTE] No, they've said they are extending time beyond that.

[QUOTE=Banned?;26971944]No, they've said they are extending time beyond that.[/QUOTE] Oh, this is great news!

They better not close it soon, I just got it and want to get a lot better then do some co-op.

My dad just bought a PS3, I might buy this game as a Christmas present to myself now.

I'm playing this again and taking an interesting route. After reading through [url=http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/954345-demons-souls/faqs/59592]EWGF's PvP guide[/url] I really fancy the idea of that stealth build. Upgrading is going to be a pain in the asshole unless I find someone willing to dupe items who already has Marrowstone to dupe in which case I would be grateful because it requires [b]World 5 farming!!!![/b] I also got ganked in [b]1-2[/b] by some dickweed who was decked out with a Scraping Spear, Adjudicator's Shield and some armor I didn't recognise, possibly because I was too busy yelling "whatthefuckisthiscuntdoingherewhythefuckisthishappeingwhyamibeinginvadedinfucking1-2goodlordthisassholehasnofuckinglifegodfuckingdamnitwhyascrapingspearfuckingassholeshitfacescuntrag"
