I'm gonna make a SL1 build. Let' co op mang.

I'm rocking an SL1 build, currently down by Queelag. Let me know if you want some jolly co-op.

I'm sitting at the bonfire in BT, I wouldn't mind some jolly co-op for the boss if it's happening. I'll farm some green titanite in the mean time. Where do you get the ring that increases item drops?

Fuck. I need plenty of green tite to make a Devine weapon to get to the smith in the Catacombs and then a load more to make a fire axe for Sen's. Grindage it is.

For Davie: [spoiler]He's at the bottom of Blighty too, and Lost Izaleth later, but he snuffed it there for me. His daughter is in the archives outside if the crystal caves. She's trapped in the golden golem[/spoiler]

No peeking.

Sir Curtis does not recgonise this thread's authority.  =p

I was thinking about replaying Witcher 2, but then i had a better idea of replaying this with a Witcher Geralt lookalike. Two swords. No shield. Limited magic. Wanky clothes/armour.

Maybe...

Davie, get thr wiki open while you do it. It's possible to fuck up the order and not get the slab. And I think it can be fucked by answering the wrong way, doing things in the wrong order or by speaking to the daughter too many times.

It's fiddly enough that wiki checking is worth it. That slab is well handy, unless you want to farm darkwraiths for a week.

Firesage and Centipede down.

Found a locked, big door with some bugs.  Guess this is a shortcut I need to open from the other side. 
Also found a large area of lava with Solaire.

Now to go past that horrible area with the 4 ceiling bug things that break your weapons.  Think I'll switch armour and weapons this time.

Ta.  So, the route past the ceiling bugs is to get loot, not the way out?

Oh, durr. firesage and centipede down. As you said, so yeah, just crack on through Lost Iz, it's quite small really. Enjoy Bed of cunts.

Nice work. it is amazing how quick the game is when you know what you're doing.

It's funny though, I'm still quite a completist. I can always get to blighty quickly on first playthrough, but I like so much stuff in there, and always want the ninja gear for the bottom and for lightness, so I always just crack through it. Discovered also that you can actually see the damage you're doing if you use arrows on the big spider from outside. Also discovered that it somehow doesn't like poison. Shot it and left it.

I should also mention that I Took down both capra and gaping on first goes and neither of them actually touched me. Very satisfying. Capra basically let me do 2 handed drop attacks. Very handy, as I've been carrying around 9 humanity in the top left for the whole time. The good thing with that, which I totally forget, is that it improves your resistances. makes a massive difference to what you can take from the curse frogs.

i think i fucked it up ...remembering back there were a bit were there were all them yellow things with all the legs and the teeth on top and he sacrifised himself to let me run away...even though i followed him and killed them all...i think he still died.

no way to get the slab now?

or is there another?

Ok, if he's dead, then yeah, it's gone. You get one for beating stray demon, and it's a rare drop from the darkwraiths in New Londo.

rare, but not impossible, mind. I got one the other day, but it was after 40+ attempts at 4k on my sl10. If you haven't done stray, and that'll be the only slab you get, choose wisely. I'd strongly suggest a +5 lightning weapon over a +15 normal, unless you're big into weapon buffing with resin or darkmoon blade or somesuch. 

i used the one from stray demon for my lightning spear like a douche.

heh. That's what I did on my first playthrough. The hand axe shits on it.

Sorry, shouldn't rub it in. Still, with hornets ring and solid backstab weapon, darkwraiths are pretty easy. Where the gold serpent, cross fingers.

The Capra Demon is handing me my ass on a regular basis.

Sometime, I don't even get past him before stun lock by the dogs, and then death.

And what with the small space and foliage making the camera a bugger, this is the first fight in the game where I feel like I’m dying because of cheapness, rather than a lack of skill.

heh, good old capra.

Don't let anyone who's nailed him first time tel you that he's easy. He is a fucking cunt. Don't feel bad about it. And it's also one of the bits where the camera defo struggles. It's taken until my 6th build (and 7th time through capra) to get him right.

It really is all about the stairs, and it's all about timing a dodge between capra's first swing and the dog on the left. Once you're up the top of the stairs, you still need a little luck with the dogs, but once they're down, you'll be golden. There's a definite trick to getting up the stairs and having capra below you so you can drop attack him.

(Also might be worth burning one of your gold pine resins as well, he doesn't like lightning.)
