I did manage to cut his attacking arm, and the demon continue to use his grab move on me.

Anyway I managed to beat it. Iron Flesh, Smough Armor and Offline Solitaire provide a good enough distraction for my Lighting Zweihander to finish the job.

Thanks for all of your suggestion. Now it's Lost Izalith.

I farm Titanite Chunk at New Londo Ruins, bottom part.

Quite good but now I'm aiming for the last area. 100% Drop Rate.

Finally reached Kiln after lot's of failed jumping at Lost Izalith boss.

I heard that you can farm Titanite Slab from the Darkwraith on New Londo Ruins? What is the drop rate like?

I thought you need kill 3 forest invader for fog ring?

Anyway, join the Forest Convenant, equip the Cat Ring and wait. If someone is at forest there killing the NPC, you will get summoned and you invade their world. Kill them to score 1 kill.

Congratulations on your 1st platinum. I don't think I can plat this game. NG+ scare me.

Deleted previous post.


Any idea whether I should rush NG+?

NG+. Armor set depends on who you kill last for O&S boss fight.

After Patch v1.04, Soul Gain is increased by 2 or 2.5. I'll come back and plat the game after the patch.

For Gaping Dragon, you could try turning human and search for the summon sign for Solitaire, also known as Sunbro, and Lautrec.

For the boss itself, move away from it, this will provoke it to use it's rush attack. When it rush toward your direction, run around it and aim for it's tail. Rinse and repeat.

Of course you can't. You can't see anyone at all due to the different dimension, Dark Souls explanation, what you can see is the message left behind by fellow gamers with the item Orange Soapstone.

You could also Reverse Hollow at the bonfire to become human form. After that, you should see some White Sign on the ground, you can use it to summon other player to help you defeat the Area Boss.

Nope, his phantom just died, he doesn't die in reality. The only thing that keeping him alive in a boss fight is that he will award you 1 Sunlight Medal.

Gravelord Nito is probably the easiest. The hard part is reaching him, as there is little to no light source on his area, Catacombs and Tomb of Giants.

The bonfire location is also hidden well and any 1st timer will be hard pressed on finding it. Other than that, lure Gravelord Nito to your location, do not go to him, wait for him to come while avoiding some of his long range attack, then spam Pyromancy spell.

Of all 4 boss, Bed of Chaos is the hardest for me. Nothing like failing a jump 20+ time because she decide to do her swipe attack.

For the 4 kings, remember to wear your heaviest armor and cast Iron Flesh. That should make you tankable if you plan to melee them to death.

Lol, I was wearing Smough armor as well as casting Iron Flesh. Didn't bother me too much, the only hard part is their magic attack.

But is it really ill advised for that plan? I thought that was the normal strategy to defeat the Four Kings?

Any buff with you? I think the link I posted above should be able to answer your question.
