Just got it. It seems pretty good, especially the transformed attacks. Those are some speedy R1s and L2s. Gonna have to use it more, but right now it's better than the blade of mercy.I know it's kind of hard to get, but the Rakuyo is one of my favorite Skill weapons in the game. If not than than the Reiterpallasch or Beasthunter Saif are good substitutes.
I had some trouble with them too, until I found out you can parry them. I got them first try after that.*frothing at the mouth*
Those fuckin sharks are worse than 90% of the bosses in the game.
If you don't want any of the Boss Soul weapons, then sure, pop em for the souls. I don't remember how good any of them are in general though. If the Halberd is what you plan to use for the rest of the game, you might as well stick to leveling strength and dex and using pyromancy since it doesn't scale with stats. Going for a magic build would be better if you plan to use a weapon you can infuse with magic. I'd have to know what your stats are already to say for sure, but if you've already started investing a lot into strength it'd probably make more sense to stick with that.I'm sitting on about 394,000 souls in the various soul items, including the Soul of Moonlight Butterfly which I'm not sure if I'm going to use for the Crystal Ring Shield or not. I have a Dark Knight weapon, the Dark Knight Halberd as stated earlier in the thread. Is it worth it to just use these souls to pump up my stats so I can use the Halberd and maybe put the rest into my Pyromancy Flame? Maybe put some into intelligence so I can use Sorcery?
I've toyed around with a one off file to play with the Sorcerer starting class and I found I like it about as much as Pyromancy, I can feel the trade offs between the two and I feel that both are a good fit for my current play style.
Soul Level: 24
I don't know why I thought you were around level 35 or 40. Anyway, I don't think you'd end up with too many wasted points if you did start putting points into Int now and went for a hybrid build, but it really depends on how you do it. You probably won't be (and I'm guessing you don't intend on) using the hard hitting spells like crystal soul spear so if you want it as an alternate damage source or something to scale a weapon with it won't completely ruin your build (especially if you're not going into PVP). My first playthrough I didn't know pyromancy didn't scale with Int so I had a lightning claymore, high level pyromancy flame, and a bunch of Int that wasn't getting used and didn't have too many issues. You shouldn't be too badly impacted if you pivot to leveling Int and Attunement for a while, but I'll say Pyromancy is the safer choice since it requires far less investment and is still powerful as long as you don't accidentally screw up and lose everyone who can upgrade your flame.
Don't bother making a fire BSS. One of the weapons that you can make using boss souls (once you can finally do so) is an excellent fire weapon.Went to the Parish and I'm farming Titanite Shards and hopefully a second and third Balder's Side Sword, having a Fire/Chaos and a Lightning variant of my go-to weapon sounds like a good idea even if the scaling stats get slashed. Kinda farming souls for upgrading my Longbow, might make a trip to the Catacombs to kill Pinwheel and upgrade the bow to a Fire bow, and to upgrade my Pyromancy Flame to +13.
Yes, but you can't access them yet.Other than the Chaos Covenant and the Power Within in Blighttown, the latter of which I managed to grab rather easily before finding out that slopped walls can kill me even if I could survive the fall to the ground otherwise, are there any other 'loose' Pyromancy Spells? I know about the second vender in Blighttown and What's-'is-face has no more for me to buy. Don't need to know where they are, just if there are any other loose spells.
Did you pick up the doll?
Did that on my second go through when I killed the Stray Demon, this was my third.
Gotcha. The Painted World is insane, but it's mostly worth heading in, even if you don't kill the boss. Except for the bone wheels. Fuck those things.Did that on my second go through when I killed the Stray Demon, this was my third.
Probably in the area before one of the bosses like "Kos or some say Kosm" or the Babysitter.Where would you fight in Mensis? I always get frustrated when I get invaded at the start of Mensis, so I don't want to inflict that on anyone else. Is the second Lamp a common 'arena' to fight at?
The Great Hollow is a 3D platforming puzzle that leads down to the game's most blatant Nausicaa reference. There are some goodies inside, but it's probably better to only actually seriously explore it once you get fast travel and don't have to manually climb all the way back up.Dark Souls:
What is the Great Hollow and why are the Mushroom men so tank-like?
Eh, I'll explore it a bit for now. Since I lost all 50,000 souls I had.The Great Hollow is a 3D platforming puzzle that leads down to the game's most blatant Nausicaa reference.

Oof.Eh, I'll explore it a bit for now. Since I lost all 50,000 souls I had.
No shit, I spent the better part of an hour farming Drakes for that. More pissed about the souls than the humanity I lost, it takes far too long to deal with all of the rats to get a decent amount of humanity but the rats give barely any souls..
I never considered the possibility I could potentially soft lock my game by going down to Ash Lake before getting access to fast travel just through the sheer frustration having to climb back up the Great Hollow would cause. Getting down is a bitch and half, and I feel like going up would only be worse.but it's probably better to only actually seriously explore it once you get fast travel and don't have to manually climb all the way back up.
It's not impossible or anything, but it is a pain. DS1 item randomizer players probably do it all the time. (The game's item and enemy randomizers are separate programs, but seem to be compatible for anyone who wants to run both.)I never considered the possibility I could potentially soft lock my game by going down to Ash Lake before getting access to fast travel just through the sheer frustration having to climb back up the Great Hollow would cause.

Ash Lake is at the bottom of the Great Hollow, right? Because I made it down there and killed the 'shrooms. ...What's past Ash Lake? I know there's a Hydra down there, I feel like that is going to be a headache in and of it's self, but I would like to know what's past the Lake.I never considered the possibility I could potentially soft lock my game by going down to Ash Lake before getting access to fast travel just through the sheer frustration having to climb back up the Great Hollow would cause.

It's a dead end. That's why fast travel is so important for getting back out.Ash Lake is at the bottom of the Great Hollow, right?
