I think of all the games so far.. this is the game that is worth every ringgit.. 20 plus hours in, probably only a quarter of the game through. And it's really satisfying! i think even more so than demon's souls
(SPOILER ahead...office browser don't let me use spoiler tab)
Anyway I need some clarifications.
Current status:
1. Now at darkroot forest. Beaten hydra and gold golemn, to release dusk, summoned her (wiki says i need to be in human form to summon her, but i wasn't in human form when i learnt some spells from her..and the 'tree branch' thingy i got from her is pretty powerful)
Have also beaten the 3 rolling cats.. (don't
now looking to beat the wolf...
but keep dying even though doing my best to be under it... coz the sweeping slash always one hit me... anyway my prob is... have to take quite a long distance to reach this boss eveytime i die, coz still don't have enough souls (20,000!) to buy the crest to unlock the door for easier access from the bonfire in the garden.. so now keep restarting at the bonfire above the blacksmith , have to walk so far, and climb ladder at the waterfall...then die... sien
My question is, should i attempt this boss later? when i'm stronger with more souls ( to buy the crest thing ) or do I go to my next target area first - the depths.. (but to prepare for this, going back to asylum to exchange my crack eye thing for some purging tablets from snuggly the crow, seems like this is the 'cheapest' option)
What you guys think?
Yea you don't have to be in human form to summon dusk. Sif (wolf) is really easy if you have a 50+ stability shield with 100% phys dmg reduction. Keep your shield up throughout the fight and when he does the 2 spinning slashes, get out of the way. You can block the first hit but not the second. Other than that's its just a case of waiting for him to dash slash you, you block it, and you start wailing on him.
I suggest you to farm the souls for that crest as it's really worth the trouble of you going around all that terrain. There is a hidden wall with a bonfire next to that door so this place is one of the best places to farm besides Midnight Londo. And yea if you'd like go back and exchange a purging tablet from snuggly, it might help if you by any chance do get cursd D:
