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

is Mephistopheles only in new game + or in just new game? Also Satsuki only in new game + ?

Yes, that is and that’s where Old King Doran is located

Mephistopheles is there if you have black tendency and killed Yurt in 3-2, and Satsuki i’m not sure check this out maybe this will help. Sometimes he’s in 4-1 for me and sometimes he’s not I think it depends on your tendency I usually see him when I’m pure white or pure black in neutral he might be standing elsewhere not sure

maybe this will help http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/npc-satsuki

5k souls is frusterating??? hahaha damn homie, ive lost like 200k…

one time i killed this black phantom that netted me like 250k souls…

im outi

Roberth

I DEFEATED THE TOWER KNIGHT! FUCK YES!
So now I’ll go take on the boss of 2-1, after this, should I continue to finish World 2 or brave World 4? Soul level 27 as of this post BTW.
EDIT: Oh yeah should I upgrade the Spike Shield? I have a Purple Flame Shield but it’s weight value is 8 whereas the Spike SHield’s is 3. If I equip the Spike Shield my equip burden would be at 50% of total.

not anymore. im sayign when u first start off u think “dam 5k shit”, but when u start understanding it more u’ll realize how quickly u can farm souls.

but anyway whts a good weapon for a melee/magic balanced type? im using phopherdent(sp) pole +5 but its got weak damage.

what kidn of class are u? u generally shoudl keep your equip burden <50% for quickrolls but if u put points in endurance (depending on which class u use), PFS+10 is very good. personally on my priest God’s Rage doesn’t get affected by the magic reduction of dark silver shield so i go with that

Use either a crescent or a moon weapon.
Those weapons’ damage scales with your magic stat. Or you can get a blessed weapon which scales with your faith stat.
There’s a crescent falchion +1 in 4.1 and there’s a blessed mace +1 in 5.1.

prophet, what are your soul levels? I might be down for some coop.
I dunno how much longer I’ll have the game tho since I’m just borrowing.

Are clubs useful against the skeletons in World 4? If I upgrade it high enough would it kill them with1-2 hits?

TBH Tizoc, I’ve never tried using a club against them, but they are good.

The only “hammer” type weapon I used was a Meat Cleaver, but it deals cut damage. Also, by the time I was using that, I was already one shotting them.

^I see. I think I’ll brave 4-1 then, maybe after a little buffing, my Spear is raping most enemies in 2-1 with ease.
Any tips to beating the Flamelurker boss? From a video I watched, he’s all over the friggin’ place. I wouldn’t mind using Magic to beat his ass though.

Anyone know what the deal is with this version:
Demon’s Souls (Best Version)

It’s about $20 cheaper than the “regular” version on Play-Asia.
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-bp-77-1-49-en-15-Demon’s+Souls-70-36pw.html

Basically it means it’s officially re-released at a lower price by Sony.
Think “Greatest Hits” in North America, or “Platinum Range” in Europe.
Japan and Asia use “The Best” and Korea uses “BigHit Series”

I just finished beating him up with my iron knuckles. Dodge, attack, dodge, attack, repeat. Study his moves as he’s wide open after attack. You got frame advantage.

^Awesome. I need to farm some Large shards of Sharpstone and Hardstone =/

You don’t necessarily HAVE to farm those large shards.

There is a vendor in 2-2, somewhere along the walkways by the cliff side that sells them IIRC.

Yeah except he sells them for 1500 souls ^_^;

Farming souls is 100 times easier and more efficient than farming shards. Once you beat 4-1 you have access to one of the best farming spots in the game at the very beginning of 4-2. A couple minutes there and you’ll be swimming in souls.

Going through world 2 and killing the stray crystal geckos should net you a decent amount of large shards. If not, there’s a gecko nest in 2-2 and you’ll get at least 1 large shard with each gecko you kill. However the catch is that you have very little time to slaughter them all. If you have an AoE spell (Firestorm or God’s Wrath) that does okay damage then that’s the best place to farm. Also you can reload your save after you’ve killed them and they’ll respawn, but you can only do that a maximum of 4 times. (1 + # of world 2 bosses killed)

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Yurt.
