Guest shearfox Posted 10 October 2011 Posted 10 October 2011 Starting to grind and had my halbed axe reinforced twice, those bell gargoyles are going down! Starting to kill elite knights in just two hits now, so use them to gain souls go back to the bonfire and repeat.
Frank_mckenzie Posted 11 October 2011 Posted 11 October 2011 First of all, the dragon should only take about 20 - 30 shots at most for the drake sword but need a dexterity of 12 at least, the knight is blocking a shield and is easy to backstab, jus circle him with your shield up and block his attacks, and if you head toward the pikemen in the other direction you will have about 4 normal enemies and a knight to kill but it will bring you out down the side of the church which has a path opposite with a bonfire and blacksmith. Hope that helps, any questions then ask

Frank_mckenzie Posted 11 October 2011 Posted 11 October 2011 I'm playin around in the darkroot garden earning 7000 souls every 2 minutes
Legend_in_blue Posted 11 October 2011 Author Posted 11 October 2011 I'm playin around in the darkroot garden earning 7000 souls every 2 minutes How many hours are you in now? I've done 6 so far. I'm close on the gargoyles. No help from Soltaire either - if I try that option, I will turn them over no problem.
Frank_mckenzie Posted 11 October 2011 Posted 11 October 2011 I'm about 9-10 hours atm, I've done 2 of the bosses and 5 mini bosses. The bonfire next to the church has a blacksmith in it who sells a key for 20000 souls, buy it and you can easily obtain souls in that area before you try any other bosses which is what I should of done in the first place.
Guest shearfox Posted 11 October 2011 Posted 11 October 2011 What's the drake sword like? and how on earth do you obtain bolts for the crossbow!
Frank_mckenzie Posted 12 October 2011 Posted 12 October 2011 Crossbow is useless, in the undead burg head out the bonfire area and kill the archer and soldier, then head downstairs to the right and kill the next soldier, from there should be a path to your left with 2 spear soldiers on it, if you kill them and roll on the barrels it will reveal a stairwell with a merchant at the bottom who sells a shortbow, arrows, bolts and a few other helpful items, the drake sword is epic, mainly because you can get it straight after the Taurus demon and it has a basic damage if 200 and only requires 15 strength and 10 dexterity to use it, I'm level 40 and it's still my main weapon.

Awesome thanks, going to get that when I get home from work.
Legend_in_blue Posted 12 October 2011 Author Posted 12 October 2011 Awesome thanks, going to get that when I get home from work. The dragon's tail will take about 30-40 shots with the bow and standard arrows. At least it did for me with knight class. The bow has terrible damage but the advantage of it is that you can draw out one enemy at a time from a small group by hitting one of them from a distance. This evens the odds against groups and you take them out one by one more easily. The gargoyles are easily beaten with Soltaire. Time to head into the basement of the burg...
One Arm Babba Posted 12 October 2011 Posted 12 October 2011 I can't wait to get on this when I have my PS3 back this weekend. I'm reading this thread all the time with envy. Sounds like an awesome game.
One Arm Babba Posted 15 October 2011 Posted 15 October 2011 its so tough. im struggling to get to the next bonfire after ive been under the bridge.
Frank_mckenzie Posted 15 October 2011 Posted 15 October 2011 Use the block and backstab strategy and definitely get the drake sword whilst under the bridge and the next bonfire is round the side of the parish
Legend_in_blue Posted 15 October 2011 Author Posted 15 October 2011 its so tough. im struggling to get to the next bonfire after ive been under the bridge. It took me a couple of hours grinding to get there. Persistence is key. Since the last post, I dispatched of the Capra Demon on my second try. I've now travelled through the depths a lot - I've been cursed twice and have lost out to the Gaping Dragon four times. Getting cursed is a total pain in the arse. At least I picked up a decent ring which gives you HP each time you kill an enemy. The first time I was cursed I fell through a hole I didn't even see. I've just learnt how to cast fireball spells with my knight.
Frank_mckenzie Posted 15 October 2011 Posted 15 October 2011 The npc where the gargoyle was will cure your curse and the gaping dragon kill in human form cause you can summon 2 npc phantoms outside his base, then just watch his moves and keep circling him and each time he rushes get in a couple of attacks, quite easy once you figure it out, when he's at half health it will spew acid that will eat away at your armour and if you chop it's tail off it will give you a axe that's got 350 damage but you need 50 strength
Guest shearfox Posted 15 October 2011 Posted 15 October 2011 Got the key to the door in the forest, good place to grind but the ghost don't respawn, so I'm left with just having to pick up the 2000 souls every 30 secs or so now. Is there a way of getting them back?
Frank_mckenzie Posted 15 October 2011 Posted 15 October 2011 Use the bonfire through the door and get the Mage, cleric, barbarian and nearly invisible thief to follow you and run back towards the entrance an go between the stairs and cliff and they should all run up the stairs and fall off the cliff, it may take a few attempts to learn but it works and gives about 7k in souls each time, then go back to bonfire and rest and they will respawn
Frank_mckenzie Posted 15 October 2011 Posted 15 October 2011 I'm currently in the catacombs level 47 wearing gold hemmed armour ( grim reaper) with estus flask +3, drake sword +2, crystal shield and pyromacy glove +15 Xbox: Bare Soul
One Arm Babba Posted 16 October 2011 Posted 16 October 2011 6hrs in and have to say this game is awesome, it's like nothing I've ever played before. I found myself switching off on a couple of occasions, before reevaluating and going again. I'm now at the bell gargoyle boss, I've tried it twice and got toasted twice.... I don't think it's too difficult and I'll clock him in my next 43 attempts! I never choose warrior class in RPGs, but, I did this time. I'm level 16 with the drakesword. He's a little slow but very strong.
Legend_in_blue Posted 17 October 2011 Author Posted 17 October 2011 Ok, so the Dragon in the depths is no more. I took him out with a final blow which appears to have almost broken my Drake sword. The durability on it is really low so I made it back very slowly to the firelight shrine with an axe where I guess the best move is to get it repaired by the blacksmith asap. I will use the 25000 souls to get the key to the gate in the forest. Level up for a while and continue. Does anyone know the best level to be at to defeat the guy with the lightning prod guarding the entrance to the forest via the blacksmith? He is difficult to take down. Cheers.
Frank_mckenzie Posted 18 October 2011 Posted 18 October 2011 I took him down at level 17 by jus staying behind his swinging arm, albeit I reckon pyromancy may of been a big help but if you have gold resin or firebombs they would be very useful
Stand UP... Posted 22 October 2011 Posted 22 October 2011 how are you levelling up so much? ive spent about 7 hours on this and im stuck in undead burgh trying to find that bloody bell to ring
Frank_mckenzie Posted 22 October 2011 Posted 22 October 2011 There is no bell in the undead burg, the first boss is the Taurus demon who I could tell you how to beat in under a minute without being hit and go from there, the main reason I've had no real problems is because I've completed demon souls about 15 times, any questions I'm always happy to help Xbox: Bare Soul
Legend_in_blue Posted 22 October 2011 Author Posted 22 October 2011 And I thought today's game was bad enough! Then I gets home and swiftly throw away 20000 souls as I'm just about to get that stone for the door in the forest. I was absolutely fuming. Still am. Couldn't believe it. I'm grinding away again to build them back up - 4800 at the mo. Totally annoyed with it.
One Arm Babba Posted 23 October 2011 Posted 23 October 2011 I'm struggling with the Capra Demon and the Hydra. I've done everything else until this point apart from heading down the catacombs. I'm level 45 warrior with drake sword and grass shield. I just got the ring that allows u to carry loads more, but still can't take down the 2 bosses above. Any tips?
