Thanks again guys. I hope I'll reach the sewers soon.
Right now I'm pretty much stuck trying to defeat the Gargoyles. This game is even harder than I expected it to be.

that fight was fun
i went in not expecting a double boss fight so early
was also easier than the double boss in demon souls imo xD

Try summoning solair, he is a god damned tank.

This has worked for me, thanks.
After putting all my stats into intelligence, I've just realized that int doesn't improve my pyro skills. T.T
Also, I've lost 11k souls fighting the Capra Demon... a normal day in dark souls it seems like^^

Imo the Capra Demon is straight luck. The environment screws you more than him, if you get past him to the stairs, you're golden, if not, you need to start over. Some get it their first or second try, others? Many attempts.

The Capra Demon killed himself as soon as I stepped through the fog.

best stat in game is endurance lol, it's so useful.
and it caps out at 40.



capra isn't luck, first time playing it might be luck, but once you figure out his "pattern" especially the beginning, you can easily dodge roll his strike and run to the stairs.



how'd that happen?

That smough armor is so awesome, but when player uses it the arms hang in hes belly, god i hate these little details

E: Im at the end of NG+ now. my +5chaos zweihander is kinda slow, so I wanna go for claymore. should i go for lightning/chaos or occult?

other weaps I use:
Lightning Gargoyle's Halberd +5
Lightning Ricard's Rapier +5
Greatsword of Artorias +5
Dragon Bone Fist +4 (scales betetr with strnght then a +5?)
Gravelord Sword +5
Dragonslayer Greatbow+5
Astora Straight Sword +5
Lifehunt Scythe +5
Chaos Zweihander +5

using elite knight set +9, +5 set of favor, smough set, ornstein set, xanthious set ===> gonna get the paladin set this run

rings depends on situation

SL +/- 120

lightning is probably the best mod since it doesn't require any actual stat other than enough to wield the weapon type.
but personally i prefer zwei even if it's slower, it has a higher "disrupt" power, so if you 2hand it and use strong attack, it typically disrupts the enemies attack causing them to stagger whereas a claymore requires 2-3.

also ng+/higher lightning isn't as effective as it was in first game, but it's still viable.

I'm level 42 now and finally decided to try and take down the Stray Demon. By far the most difficult boss I had to face in my whole gaming career. I've died about 30 times in total so far without any hope of ever taking him down, lol.
Every time I start the encounter, he either one-hits me right after landing or kills me after I land my first attack chain. This boss is INSANE.

Edit: WTF I just finished him off right after writing this... Thank god this is over.
