[QUOTE=Rawko;47839235][t]http://i.imgur.com/1jcwEit.jpg[/t] if this is what you meant just realized i took a little bit too much in faith[/QUOTE] Considering your strength and dexterity, I wouldn't really infuse it with anything.

[QUOTE=MrGreed;47839372]Considering your strength and dexterity, I wouldn't really infuse it with anything.[/QUOTE] are they considerably low? i'll probably use a vessel to fix the faith and endurance and other stuff so i won 't mind getting suggestings for improving my overall build i was also about to ask what exacly do i need to powerstance some (or most?) weapons, i'm kinda dumb when it comes to stats

If you're using heavy weapons you need loads more endurance to get another swing in, so I focus on regen instead. Go for 105agl if you want, I'm not sure why you have 20/29 int/faith and only 13att. Powerstance is 1.5x weapon requirements. I can completely redistribute your points for you but I'd need more info like rings, equipment and spells if any.

[QUOTE=Jaehead;47839534]What do you wanna power stance?[/QUOTE] Mostly katanas and the Majestic Greatsword

just something i came up with quick [t]http://puu.sh/i66Th/85a73ee8e0.jpg[/t] 50 str for softcap, 45 dex for powerstance (highest dex req for katanas is 30) 20 end but 30 vit + soldier's ring because i personally like regen and roll over outright stamina 10att for whatever you feel like using (probably weapon buff). i wouldn't infuse your weapons though. put the rest of the points into whatever you want. att for more slots, or adp for 105 agl. ring of blades isn't that great with slower weapons and even worse with infused ones. i'd swap it out for chloranthy ring or agape ring if you're into that.

is it possible to release the caged mimic in the aldia keep corridor where the hipo man wall fucks you?

[QUOTE=waylander;47841059]is it possible to release the caged mimic in the aldia keep corridor where the hipo man wall fucks you?[/QUOTE] You can use the hippo to break cages.

you can also free all of the monster's after getting Aldia's key by killing all of the Forlorns

Is there any way to get DSCFix to work in the new steam version? At the moment it's completely ruined the game for me and my friends, we can't ever reliably connect and we've been trying for the past hour to get our signs to show up at all. We're definitely in level range, the boss is alive in the host's world, and the host is human... but for over an hour, nothing

We're a couple provinces apart so we tried all setting our region to Vancouver and we had no luck

[QUOTE=_charon;47831182]I got my Dark Souls working finally (had to search my entire computer for DarkSouls.ini because for some reason searching in the AppData folder wasn't working, then deleted it), and beat the Prison Demon after only 3 unrelated deaths. I'm not awful :dance: I can't figure out these [I]goddamn skeletons [/I]in Firelink though. Do I just have to keep wailing on them till they're dead?[/QUOTE] Three deaths before the Asylum demon? Hoo boy, you're going to love the Taurus demon.

Tauros seriously halted like four of my first playthrough attempts before i decided to use the Zweihander.

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;47842296]Tauros seriously halted like four of my first playthrough attempts before i decided to use the Zweihander.[/QUOTE] Game running like shit stopped my first playthrough, lack of motivation and surplus of skeleton killed my 2nd, Taurus stopped my 3rd. Then I realized I could plunge attack and started learning to parry and now I'm at Sen's Fortress, waiting for a good opportunity to get back in since I burnt myself out a little by playing for hours at a time.

I have not killed the Taurus demon with drop attacks since my first run through the game, it's just so much easier to stand in the blind-spot between his thighs and swing away since he staggers pretty easy.

I was playing with my friend today and I created a new character so that I could farm stuff and make a new build for pvp, when my friend goes and tells me I don't need to go through certain parts of the game and informs me that a Cheat Engine exists, and that I should just use it to set my stats to whatever I need them to be and spawn the necessary weapons and armor on myself. To be honest, doing this sounds more feasible and less consuming than, for example, having to get all the way to Sen's Fortress just to be able to acquire the Catarina Armor set. Thing is that Dark Souls doesn't run GFWL anymore and has steam integration. I know very well that DS2 actively bans people who cheat, but any cheating going on in DS1 is ignored. I'd like to use it to save time on building a simple pvp build, but I'm not to keen on doing it if there's the possibilty of getting VAC'd. I'm also a bit concerned on whether this would be considered ethical or not.

Getting all the shit you want and leveling to SL120 is way too time consuming for just some PvP action.

Does the cheat engine still even work? [editline]31st May 2015[/editline] I mean after the moving to steam from gfwl

I remember i stopped playing Dks1 due to the Gargoyles destroying my computer with their fire breath and how choppy was the area to Capra Demon. 2 or 3 playthroughs ruined because of them :v:

[QUOTE=For No Reason;47845165]Does the cheat engine still even work? [editline]31st May 2015[/editline] I mean after the moving to steam from gfwl[/QUOTE] It does if you have the right tables.

So, something I've wondered from the start... What was the voice director's angle in regards to the male pain sounds? I'm sure I'm bringing up nothing new by saying how wierded out I was that my character's response to getting anything from bopped on the head to cleft-nigh-in-twain with a Capra Demon's double-machetes... is an oddly aroused-sounding groan? Is this some weird roundabout way of the developers calling their own customers masochists?

[QUOTE=J-Dude;47845597]Is this some weird roundabout way of the developers calling their own customers masochists?[/QUOTE] Well... like, hey, they're not wrong.

is there a "good" place for farming twinkling titanite? also what's that thing that makes people roll inside of the ground? is it a ring?
