    Dark souls???

    Anyone else playing this game, how are you liking it?

    I'm really having quite alot of trouble with this game, most paths just seem like they have to be avoided until your a higher rank and have better stuff.

    So, I'm running around trying to find the easiest path to go down but even the "easy" paths are really really difficult.

    Hardest game I have ever played, no doubt.

    Love that game!
    Yes itīs hard, but not any harder as many games have been some years ago. Today most games are just very easy...

    Well, Iīm stuck at Boss in Blight Town at the moment, but thatīs just cause any guy that joins me just dies an instant after entering the bossfight. With some reasonable player on my side this one would be doable as well. Up until that the only thing that really got on my nerves have been the freaking frogs that curse you (take half your energy bar each time they curse you. you wonīt get the health back till you run through half the world to buy a cure...)

    If you need any help up until where i am i gladly try to give some advice

    Thanks man, I'm liking it as well. I dont think I'm very far into the game but I am having trouble..


    Up the mountain past undead burg to that first blacksmith you come to under the fire breathing dragon, im not much further on than that..

    The forest part straight after it, you know that part? On the top level is the mass of tree looking things and about 4 huge iron men.. Couldnt do that, path looks too hard.

    Middle path is the ice men, withe huge, huge, huge 6 headed snake that just seems to chuck a load at water at you, couldnt do that. had to move on.

    The lower path and the knight, I killed the knight, but straight after that down the elevator is the valley of the drakes..

    I cant even kill 1 of those drakes, I still have the tutorial equipment, havent come across any better armor or weapons.


    I dunno if i should just run past the valley of the drakes, or to go alll the way back to the start... lol...what do you think?lol

    The valley of drakes and the Snake/Hydra thing in the water are definetly too hard, canīt get past these as well...

    First of all you should get you a better weapon. Donīt know which class you are playing but I recommend the dragon sword. Pretty easy to get with a little trick... The fire breathing dragon on the bridge you mentoined? Go under the bridge and you see the dragonīs tail. Shoot some arrows at it. The dragon will come on the bridge, wonīt find you and will fly back to where he was. Repeat that some times (or many times, carry at least 100 arrows with you^^) and at some point youīll get the dragon sword for killing the tail (200 damage, one-hander). The standard armor isnīt that bad. Just keep it till you run over a better one. Iīm still wearing my wandererīs suit most of the time

    Besides that I just can tell you the rotue I went so far. From Firelink shrine to Undead Burg, killed the Taurus Demon there. Then went under bridge with the dragon to Undead Church (near the Blacksmith before the woods). Killed the Gargoyles on top of the church and rang the bell. You get a key for the lower districts of undead parish. Use it at a door before the bridge with the dragon (where you first came to the bridge, at the place where the Knight stands, who gave you the multiplayer item). Go down there and kill the Capra Demon. From here you can go to the Depths. Right before the entry to the capra demon thereīs a stairway down. Follow the path and thereīs a door to the right that you can unlock after you beat the Capra. Depths are a bit tricky cause there are these frogs if you go the wrong way... Besides that, just kill the Gaping Dragon down there, heīs not as dangerous as he looks Afterwards I went to the woods you mentoined and had the strength to kill everything there. Just donīt go down to Darkroot Basin, stay in the woods. Kill the Moonlight Butterfly there.
    That was the point where I didnīt know where to go... Tried the ways you mentoined and died. Went back to the Depths and found the entry to Blighttown there. Fought my way through with some problems and stand before the Boss there, right now. (Make sure to farm much Purple Moss in the woods. The wood-enemies drop it often. It heals poison and you will get poisoned in Blighttown a lot).

    So, thatīs a bit of information. If you did any of these parts or have been stuck at another, I can give you more detailled information about it.

    Buy them from the merchant in undead burg. Take the normal ones that cost 10 souls... The expensive ones arenīt worth their money.

    I LOVE THIS GAME SOOO MUCH.

    I'm like 75% through it right now. It starts off insanely hard, but the middle gets much easier once you know what your doing. However this last fourth of the game is absolutely ridiculous.

    P.S. I was just about to make a Dark Souls thread but you beat me to it.

    P.P.S. The Hydra you guys are having trouble with is really not hard at all. I beat him right after I beat the twin Gargoyles. The only hard put is getting close to it.

    First, lure the crystal dudes out one by one or get the Hydra to kill it with its water balls. Once they're all dead charge the Hydra. Roll around and hide behind stuff to avoid his water balls, this is by far the hardest part. Once you're on the edge of the water, go to the right. Once you do this the Hydra will switch to an attack where he slams all its heads down at once. Surprisingly this attack can be completely blocked with your shield, so at this point you are invincible as long as you block when he attacks.

    Also don't go too far into the water or else you will die.
