Demon's/Dark Souls Thread. Dark Souls II!

I wouldn’t mind, but I’m actually gonna let a friend borrow the game once I beat it, So who knows when I’ll get it back :crybaby:

ok, I’ll just pump my magic for now, because it help my spells and my moon winged spear. and yeah I’m trying to do as much as I can before I beat it tonight.

EDIT:
False King is owning me, bastard took 2 soul levels from me :rofl:

im thinking about playing new game plus, but I dont know if its worth it

wait so you never played it on newgame +. what the hell??? my 8 hour run was on new game + son, get with the program…its totally worth it…

im outi

Roberth

finally beat False King, I ended up 4 levels lower than when I started :rofl: oh well. Not sure if I should just finish the game before I let my friend borrow it, or if I should hold off and when he gives it back I can farm more

^ You should try to get as many one-time items as you can. It’s way easier to farm in New Game+, 4-1 and 4-2 can net you a lot of easy souls, and when you can get there 5-4 makes me about 50-60K souls a run with Ring of Avarice. Killing the 3 Red Knights before the Penetrator Boss, then killing everything up to where the Blue Dragon is including the two officials.

I got PWCT last night, got the Dragon Bone Crusher and crafted some nice weapons, though I usually stick with my Kilij for its speed and low use of stamina. I do use the Regailia weapon sometimes, the one you make from Demonbrand+Soulbrand. It’s fun to use and does great damage, but it sucks that it gets no bonuses outside of character tendency.

cause I keep making new characters, thats why i never played new game plus

False king seems weak to fire, also the spell warding helps a lot.

Yes you can kill him, but he is buff as hell. The easy thing about the fight is he won’t chase you that far out of the blood swamp. You can hit him with magic, draw him to the land get off your combo and run up the hill to safety. It took me a little while, but I did it.

Not true, I killed her from the perch with arrows, then I went around to the other side and he was standing in front of the archstone and I had to fight him to get to it.

I let her suicide, because I’m a man. Cleaver vs Vinland at the fence = win.

warding is what got me through that fight, and lots of old spices. Especially since I have yet to put a single point into my vitality, and only 1 point into endurance.

it’s true, after you kill her go into the menu and quit the game. when you reload it, he is dead and you can loot his body.

That’s not what he asked. He said can you kill him after beating Astrea?, I said yes which you can kill him.

I said not true that he commits suicide after killing Astrea, so you can’t fight him.
Now if you die after killing her or leave the zone, that is a whole other thing.

@anyone who has played older consoles (nes/snes):

i live in the uk and i am waiting for my import copy of demon’s souls to arrive (i bought it from www.videogamesplus.ca for any of you europeans who want an idea where to buy it from).

now a lot has been said about the difficulty in this game. from looking at the videos it just seems the thing that makes the game hard is that some enemies are one hit kills, with no checkpoints. other than that, the combat seems very similar to zelda.

the hardest game i have ever played is contra 3 (also known as probotector) without using the continues cheat. plus i played turtles on the nes (the one with the swimming mission) when i was like 8 years old. if i don’t mind playing games of that difficulty, is demon souls going to be fine for me? or is even harder than the games i’ve mentioned? i know these are not similar games…i am just looking to get an idea.

sorry if this question has been sorta answered. i haven’t read this thread due to not wanting to be spoiled.

thanks.

It’s like any RPG, you have to level up, mainly weapons. It’s not that hard.

i didn’t think so. it’s all hype because people under 20 are used to checkpoints every 5 mins.

who cares what people think? Their all idiots.

Most of the game can be conquered easily once you figure out the attack patterns and weaknesses of the different enemy types, as well as their positions since they always spawn in the same places. The hard part is figuring all that out, but once you do it’s just a matter of proper preparation and playing smart. Reflexes and execution can help, but they aren’t nearly as important as in many other “hard” games.

its only hard if you try to rush

i knew that the difficulty had been overhyped. even if it hasn’t, i am looking forward to the challenge.

this just makes me want to play this game right now. from what i have seen it looks like an adult version of zelda.

That is exactly the closest game you can compare it to, except it is way more hardcore.

You can die with 1 hit by some enemies, 1 fucking hit. Satsuki, I’m looking at you.:annoy:

2-3 hits by most of them early on.

the 1st time you play demons souls its like fucking a fat chick, she will make you her bitch then you got to show her who has the balls.

so the passed two days i got a lot done it seems.
i got the adjudicator shield, white bow, and Ring of Avarice… i’ve been farming 4-1.

when can i start upgrading the shield? i go to Ed but it is never eligible for upgrade.
