Aijor I want to cry already....the blacksmith ed...I accidentally attacked him...and now he keep on hunting me....even I die by his hands ...I respawned and he still coming for me....damn how lar...

Means even if you quit game / restart game / let him kill you also pointless....he will mark you for good....

So you can't do business with him anymore....sob sob...

1st Boss in tutorial killed me in one shot.. I was like.. WTF ? ?
haha

Just slash him after he attacks

prepare to buy this game...lol

I also can answer you. Haha. Don't have to trouble nwk.
You must have 2 characters first. Start off with a couple of souls (maybe 5000) with Char A.

Jump down a cliff for A.

Load character B. Collect the blood left by A.

Load A to collect back the blood again. Then repeat.

Once B has considerable amount of souls. Use B now to do the suicide method. So you have more souls available.

Rinse and repeat. Pretty much it.

Then play it the right way

Tell me about it, I'm typing from office now

Hm... sometimes I have to work through the weekends as well. Tough life... haish.

Anyway, jsc, have you tried looking other places... maybe the pool of blood is somewhere else? And be reminded that both characters have to at least beat Phalanx first before it can work.

man you're lucky
