before entering i have already max out a divine weapon so entering it was a piece of cake. After kill all those stupid Necromancer can used back normal weapon on second run through since they wont respawn anymore.

I hate getting invaded.... waste my time....

how do you backstab somebody, need special weapon? please teach me

oic, no wonder la not working ..i've been blocking all the time...thx

i got tip on how to farm souls in the forest..

1) play offline
2) provoke the NPC guardian
3)go back to the door but put yourself under the ladder next to the ridge
4) NPC will climb the ladder to jump on you but instead fall to the ridge

suitable for low level character

I think the only difference is that chaos weapons damage scale with your humanity (up to 10 if not mistaken). Fire weapons do not scale but they can be +10, unlike chaos weapons which can only +5.

I tested both types with a same weapon, chaos deals more damage (not much though) when you have humanity. If you die a lot and always unable to retrieve bloodstain, just use a Fire weapon +10, the damage difference is not that huge anyway. I still prefer Quelaag Sword for fire weapon mainly because it looks cooler (lol).

The mage and thief will chase after you, in addition to the mace and axe (I think?) user.

Sounds challenging...dunno should get or not XD

really? i level 60++ still have not killed ornstein & smough...now in painted world ariamis

One guy completed Dark Souls with SL1 play through. He also videoed the whole thing.

While this is my 1st time playthrough and clocked in 20 hours already. Probably still using the conventional RPG method like levelling up so can take on monsters easier but definitely not in Dark Souls coz even after levelling up, still get whacked by monsters kau kau. So far only difficulty i had is the hydra at ash lake which I itchy finger wasted 600 arrows on it.

Yesterday night, knocked out Queelag in 3 tries (again camera control got me stuck in the bloody lava), as well as the ceaseless discharge. Seriously i'm getting fond of this game as can't describe the fear emotions when playing this (even worse than Dead Space 2). Lucky Ceaseless discharge was an easy bro though when I got whacked 90% of my hp when running away I almost panicked. This game also make me very aware of the footsteps and sound cues so I can jump or roll out of the way.

Gonna break for a while until Sunday, when I'll be trudging back to the Undead Asylum. Time to convert all those dung pies

Thanks for the tip. Read about that as Ornstein is real killer in NG+
Ring of Fog can't get it so early unless I get the bloody Skull Lantern. Saw that trick on Youtube. Have to rush up the structure. Lock on the sniper, then lock off once switched to sword and run back quickly. This is more action game then RPG.

Can kill Smough / Ornstein with arrows? Serious? Cool gonna look out for this. Then maybe not so hard after all *LOL*.

YES!!! Finally whack both bosses thanks to a Mr Janemba which I summon for help. I just shoot my fire orbs & balls while he tank it out for me. That's after getting help from 2 other NPCs earlier that failed.

Can't imagine the relief after that. Now don't know what to do or where to go next 

Maybe just spend some time grinding souls / shards / and upgrade some of my weapons. Btw, I want to tackle Havel. Any particular tips?

try to parry and riposte 

Sif so hard to beat, any tips
