So over a 100 hours later, I’m one trophy away from getting the Platinum.
I need three weapons for the “Knight’s Honor” trophy.
-Pickaxe, drops from the fat dudes with boulders in blighttown.
-Silver Knight’s Halberd, drops from the silver knights in Anor Londo.
-Titanite Catch Pole drops from the faceless titanite demon dude who drop Demon Titanite as well.
Has anyone seen these before? Titanite Catch Pole farming is gonna be a bitch. I’m killing the fat guys now, hopefully I get the pickaxe soon. It’s sucks that I’m in NG++ now, all the fun was at NG+ at the last level, PvP like crazy.
Gooooood luck with that catch pole. I think the grimy merchant in berg sells a pickaxe? Never saw the halberd. I think you can farm that from the bonfire in the AL buildings-- the door directly across from it should have a halberd knight.
Yeah that’s where I’m farming him. I have 99 homeward bones so I can warp back to the bonfire near him each run. Sad that I’ve killed every Titanite Demon in 3 seperate playthroughs but no drop.
I got the Pickaxe and Silver Knight Halberd in less than 5 minutes of farming them each. I killed the Titanite Demon a few times and nothing. I’m gonna take a break, play MvC3 and then farm the shit out of him tomorrow. Hopefully that’s the final weapon I need.
If you unlock the shortcut to the titanite demon it’s probably much faster? Though you need to join the white spider witch’s covenant I think and give her 30 humanity?
Okay so Blight Town is killing the shit out of me. I’m at the bonfire on the top of the brick wall and progressing is just killer. Does anyone have any tips?
Use arrows to kill the tentacle thing without even having to come close. The basic grunts fight like souped up Hollows from the Depths, just poke at them from a distance with a long weapon or backstab em. Retreating is sometimes a valid option, you’ll get a good amount of souls from enemies who were too far and walked off a cliff trying to reach you. Dart shooters won’t respawn. Once you clear out all the enemies that don’t respawn, getting to the well (the location where the whip is) is much easier on 5 flasks.
I believe there’s a Twin Humanities if you go the other way from the bonfire, you can use that if you need to kindle the bonfire.
Once you get to where the whip is, just switch to light armor and run like hell. You can easily run around the fire demons (their attacks will only hit in front of em, so you can just roll through it) and they can’t climb ladders. Killing the bugs (I suggest you use lockon if you insist on killing them) is mostly a waste of time because they respawn endlessly. I would only suggest killing the fire demons if you can 2 or 3 shot them.
Once you reach the base level, again, just run past everything, make a right once you set foot in the swamp water, and hug the wall until you reach the second bonfire. Don’t worry if you get poisoned, the bonfire is close enough that the poison won’t have the time to do a significant amount of damage to you.
I think I’m done with Dark Souls until this patch comes out.
It really pains me how lop sided Pyromancy Arts, and Lightning / Fire Weapons are. Some of the Magic Arts are pretty nuts (and glitched), too. Faith is O.K besides Tranquil Walk of Peace and Wrath of the Gods, something needs to be toned down for those two, and the Lightning Spears need to be more PvP viable.
Stat scaling on weapons are awful, and hopefully this upcoming patch makes them feel more meaningful. As it is now, weapons that lean more on stat scaling have an awful time competing with Lightning / Fire reinforced weapons. Only way they can kinda-sorta get on par is if you invest into Magic for the Magic Weapon Arts, which I feel should be an alternative for elemental damage, and not necessary to put up a fight. Not to mention only non-unique weapons can be enchanted by the spell, making unique weapons rely more on the awful stat bonus.
It’s really too bad. I was fairly optimistic with Dark Souls’ PvP, but some of these things are just too tough to swallow.
Iren, get out of Blighttown from that side. That is the long and horrible path.
Go back to the Darkroot Garden (near the blacksmith), then stick to the right wall between the first and second enemy. You’ll enter a new area, head to the bottom of there and keep looking on the cliff. You’ll find another new area, then in that area head left, and you’ll find another entrance to blighttown and a shortcut back to firelink (which you can get the key for a little ways into blighttown).
Pozer, make stuff with it, duh. Take it to the giant blacksmith. You’ll need +10 weapons to be able to craft the boss items though.
You’re saying I can get to Blighttown through the Darkroot Basin bonfire? Doesn’t that go to the Valley of the Drakes?
The most bullshit boss so far for me has to be the Stray Demon, that is just an exhausting thing to do, running around and hacking his fatass for like five straight minutes.
Take them to the Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo and he can modify +10 weapons into Boss Soul weapons. These weapons require Demon Titanite for upgrades (1/1/2/2/4, +5 is max) and tend to have some unique aspect to them. A +5 Lightning Spear has better damage than Ornstein’s Dragon Hunter Spear, but Ornstein’s Spear gives you some of Ornstein’s attacks as R2/RT attacks.
Queelag’s Furysword is the popular one because it has rather low requirements, good damage + fire damage, is fast, looks cool, and scales with Humanity. After a while of PvP you’ll be sick of how everyone + their mom is using it though.
And if you hug the left cliffside in the drakes, you’ll wind up at a cave that leads to blighttown. Grab the key from the chest and unlock the gate on the other side of the cliff, and you’ll have a shortcut back to firelink. Waaaaaaaaaaay better to do blightown from there than in that horrible otherside. The other entrance is basically a cruel joke.
lol yeah i entered Blighttown from The Depths. I spent like 8 hours fucking around in there making zero progress till i read up on the BP which made boss fight retarded easy. Going to try the glitch on the Ceasless discharge(LOL??). trying to get back to Firelink so i can farm forest for souls again plus that gate popped open kinda wanna check out whats in there.(joined white spider covenant got gold hemmed robes wewt)
Where does valley of the drakes lead into blighttown at?
Drakes leads to Blighttown at the very end. As you come into it from darkroot basin, go left and there is a narrow path along the cliffside that you can follow.
Blighttown isn’t locked, it is just a cave. But there is also a locked gate. A little bit into the blighttown cave is the key for the locked gate, and the locked gate leads back to firelink.
Blighttown is worse than that place. Blighttown is the worst place in the entire goddamn game.
You get off near the bonfire at the bottom of the swamp. It is a better path because the enemies aren’t fucking horrible-- you only have to deal with mosquitoes, and those big bugs, and leeches if you are heading in the other direction than the boss.
