*Gravelord servants is currently a broken covenant, no point joining the covenant for the time being. If you do seek additional eyes of death, simply beat the game a few times with the same character and loot the treasure spots and buy from patches. It's 9 guaranteed eyes per playthrough.*

I would just buy from patches after getting 3 past the titanite demon (never found him as a merchant though) then on NG+ run past titanite demon, steal 3 more and turn them in. Gravelord covenant svcks, the miracle svcks, but the sword is awesome.

I think I might mkae a future pvp characte using the darkhand, pyrohand, miracles and something else. It would keep them guessing if they couldnt see what I had equped. Am I going to burn you alive, block your attack, or will I slow youdown before casting toxic mist.

New patch comming tomorrow folks! Master key can now be bought from the bottomless box merchant. Rebalance of some spells. Pyromancy flame re-balanced. As a whole, looks promising.

What are they doing to pyromancy? I hope they don't nerf the damage, it seems fine to me.

And now starting as a thief is completely useless. Great.

Oh you best not be nerfing ironflesh from soft. That thing got me through those undead dragon legs in lost izalith. if thats nerfed then [censored] that, I guess I will never finish the game. Because seriously, [censored] that place.

Not sure about the details about it, but apparently they are changing the magic adjustement of upgraded pyro-flames.

Alright, I'm lost. :sadvaultboy:

I'm in the Sewers right now (I believe their called the "Depths") and cannot for the life of me find a way to the dragon. I found some knight, but kinda hit him while I was breaking him out, so I had to put him down.

Where do I go from here?

» Sun May 13, 2012 8:13 am

If the knight looked kinda like a sorcerer then I think you just killed the guy that teaches you pyromancy. Go back out that room and run all the way down the hall, then you turn right since it;s the only way to go and down a bit there's a door, watch out for the slime that will drop on you if you go for the item on the body.

That would explain why he was hurling fireballs at me.. :huh:

But I came from that way. I've killed both the butcher and the Giant rat, and I'm at the Bonfire. I just ran all the slime ball.. Things. Still don't know where to go.

» Sun May 13, 2012 8:42 am

There's a doorway coming off the hall with the slimes it's to the right if you are coming from the bonfire iirc.
I only just got here too. But I think it's time for me to fight the boss already :unsure:

I might just farm the basilisks for a while instead haha.

You need to fall through holes in the ground. Watch out for the enemies down there, they curse you. If you find orange eyed black frogs that spit grey clouds, you are on the right track.

Any tips on the final boss.

Any tips on the final boss.

Iron Skin + largest weapon you can find + stamina regen gear

In other words, tank it.

I'm hitting the wall while trying to storm Seth's keep with my Strength build.

The new patch should fix Iron Skin's OP'd-ness against bosses.

Actually, that would be great. I was forced to fight Gwyn with it, since it was only valid tactic at the time.

Looks like the patch is fixing most issues I have.

Weird that they did not take any action against that soul glitch. It irritates me every time I see ghost doing it.

"Infintie weapon and magic use". I think that's it. Actually, I *hope* that that is it.

Some great stuff in that list.More places to buy arrows and better stat scaling will be nice.More drops for the rarer shards.

My personal favorite from that list is without a doubt the nerfing of ring of fog, slow miracle and the magic shield effects. It's also nice to be able to get master key from within the game. This way, gifts are also balanced now.

Yeah I will give pvp a third shot after this patch.They even plan to nerf tranquil walk of peace.I am going to assume my patch will be later than the sony one though.

Wow so they nerfed pyromancy and iron flesh, two things that actually made the game fun for me. How about fixing the frame rate issues instead?

Actually from what I've heard they made low level Pyromancy weaker, but actually buffed the Ascended Pyromancy Flame.

Although the Elite Knight Armor took a nasty nerf for some reason. More weight and less poise.

I sincerely hope they didn't buff the ascended flame... It's already too powerful. :/

Alright, well, I got cursed. And, of course, my vitality svcks, and I can hardly harvest enough souls to buy a couple of arrows, let alone a 6000 soul orb. :sadvaultboy:

So, I'm heavily considering starting a new game. Any suggestions for a class? I don't want it to be too noob friendly, because I'm pretty familiar with the game now, but not incredibly difficult. I know now not to up my strength to 22, when the Drake Sword only requires 16 and its the best weapon I have.
