What SL and system are you on Biggz? If PS3 I can help out.
Once you get the HAWK ring its easy to kill the dragon.
-Zone him out, lol.
Why didn’t someone tell me a Dark Souls thread existed!?
Was perusing some of the past pages here and just thought I’d say ‘fuck no’ to this. Why should you get the best of both offense and defense for two handing your weapon? I don’t get why people are so against back stabs. Just don’t get back stabbed. Yeah sometimes you can’t help it if it’s a lag stab, but that’s a lag issue not a back stab issue.
Back stabs would be perfectly viable if lag played no part in Dark Souls, but unfortunately it does for a lot of people. So you get back stabbed even after you roll away, for seemingly no reason, etc. It pisses a lot of people off because it seems unfair.
Dark Souls needs a LAN function.
that is the most fucking annoying dogshit piece of game design i have come across for a long time there. theres a part near the top where there is a tiny little lip, which should be easily traversible (seriously its not even as high as a step) and you will get stuck on that piece of shit for ages. Running, jumping, rolling, removing all your armour… none of these things work consistently to get you up that tiny step and you will die many times attempting it.
theres a reason i didnt go in there on my second playthrough till i got the lordvessel.
Yeah I definitely should’ve bought more.
Where can I get the Lordvessel? Warping would be pretty helpful.

Even with (the standard) lag, backstabs are really easy to avoid and are so telegraphed you only have yourself to blame if you get hit by them. Unless it’s REALLY laggy.
Without lag backstabs are impossible. Before the last patch it was the only way to combat spear turtles (not sure if that changed since I haven’t pvp since).
And I’m not sure if the lag is really that bad of a thing for the game’s pvp. I think if there was no lag the game would be reduced to simply parry,parry parry. The slower weapons would be even more useless. Or I could see it turn into a spear turtlefest.
At this point pretty much all tactics have counters and I could see parrying/turtling becoming much to effective without the lag.
Kill Ornstein and Smough in Anor Londo, then talk to the image of Gwynevere in the chamber of the princess. She’ll give it to you there.
if you are in the blighttown swamp then you can reach the shortcut back to firelink shrine pretty easily
I have no clue where that stuff is?
You’re not that far in the game yet. You can’t finish the game without the lordvessel so you’ll get it eventually.
Thanks for the help guys.
I’ll look for that shortcut effenhoog. I can only take about 2 hits with this curse on.
Does SRK ever work any more? Its ridiculous.
I know the game is getting old at this point, but there are still a lot of people playing through the game for their first time. Please be courteous and use spoiler tags where applicable. (The Anor Londo stuff a page back is particularly revealing…)
My bad Rampage. I’ll use spoiler tags from now on.

Ornstein kills Dumbledore
Dark Souls Wiki.
That’s gonna be your best friend during your first playthrough of Dark Souls. But you will eventually get the Lord Vessel even if you’re not intentionally looking for it. Unlike a lot of other shit in Dark Souls, getting the Vessel is pretty straight forward.
When you get to a beautiful place drenched in sunset called Anor Londo, you’re on the right path, and eventually it’s only a matter of time before you get the Lord Vessel.
I’ve been taking my sweet time with this game. I went back with a slightly more balanced build (at least for now). Stumbled upon the #YOLO sword, now PvE is slightly easier. I just need to be more patient with the channeler and his crew on the way to ringing the first bell.
I couldn’t disagree more.
Everyone’s first playthrough (of any game, for that matter) should be a clean run without such guidance.
Using the wiki takes away the exploration and the whole point of Dark Souls being open world.
Do yourself a favor and enjoy the game by not being a pussy and using a guide.
Pretty much ask this thread for advice instead of wiki. We try to keep it subtle and give helpful tips that doesnt spoil much.
Also on topic of backstabs; Laggy Pursuers users is scummy ass shit that’s just as bad.
Anyone on the PC ver. got 10 scales and/or souvenirs laying around that they don’t mind parting with?
I’ll make a trade with you on the PS3 side if possible.
