With my brand new baby 680 in my system as of 5 minutes ago i'm ready to blast the s*** out of the graphics too, no more 10 fps in blighttown!
Oh and on the subject of dark souls and blighttown, here is a invading troll video. Pretty decent shot too.

There seem to be conflicting rumours, with it either being run with GFWL or that it's just the usual tag that Microsoft puts on all Windows games.

that is where i am stuck at the moment, i am getting owned by the boss spider thing. i have given it a few goes with other people and still keep dying
or someone invades me and they always seem to have all these sick gear and destroy me without even trying
i think the last time i played it i was in the middle of getting flash sweat from town so i had some defense against the lava the boss spews out

- If you have magic like soul arrow or greater soul arrow it makes things a bit easier with mildred up and when queeleag isn't chasing you.
- Make sure your shield blocks 100% physical
- If she starts glowing red, unlock and run your ass away because she is about to explode and do huge damage
- Her red flame lash can hurt if you get hit with it and blocking takes a bit of HP away per hit. Block it and heal up if you need when mildred is taking damage.
- Her fireballs are easy to dodge but they drop AoE as you know so can really hurt if you get hit and she does the flame whip move.
- When she is attacking mildred you can go nuts on her but always be ready to run away when she looks at you.
It does take awhile, and while mildred can die she should stay up long enough for you to do at least 2/3rds of her hp or more. In the firelink shrine graveyard run fast and collect the souls and you will pick up a winged spear. It lets you attack with your shield up and is very OP if you ask me. I used this instead of the dragon sword until I managed to grab the lightning spear from Sen's Fortress. When you beat her, avoid the temptation to explore much in the next area. There is some armor you can get but that's about it since the mobs there are pretty high level.

I went in at lev 25 or so and did the whole thing without getting invaded once.
Thing about invaders is they invade up from their level so if you want to avoid it, stay under the leveling curve a bit.
Posted 06:53pm 28/4/12
I FINALLY F*****G BEAT BLIGHTTOWN N****S~!@~!@!@!@!@~!
flashsweat did it
you might be right wirlwind, i'n level 40
doesn't seem to be much going in the way of invaders right now, had a few goes in human form and didn't get invaded
Posted 07:17am 30/4/12
Hurry up and get through Sen's Funhouse Pave, Anor Londo after that....
If you though spider tits was hard, you are gonna love Biggie Smalls. I have a lvl 55 sitting at the door if you need a hand (you will).
Also what weapon are you using? I hope its not that piece of s*** Drake Sword because it doesnt scale with stats and really shouldnt be used once you make it to Blightown.
Posted 12:06pm 30/4/12
into arnor londo now, lost like 50k worth of souls last night and called it quits for the night at the bit where there are 2 silver knight archers either side this tower you're on and you have to make your way up the little roof between them
i'm using the lightning spear that the mimic dropped in sens
who is biggie smalls? (aside from the dead rapper, obviously)
Posted 01:13pm 30/4/12
Dont worry about losing souls, there are plenty to be had. I lost 72 Humanity and 3mill souls the other night....
What sort of build are you going with? Its best to try to find a weapon that scales well with whatever stats your loading. That said, if you want to go with lightning/fire etc pick whatever weapon you like because they lose their scaling once you enchant them.
Posted 01:32pm 30/4/12
i've basically been stacking my levels into endurance, vitality and some attunement
i am going to turn around from where i am and go back to blighttown and join the chaos covenant to get the pryo skill she gives you and i think i need to upgrade my pyro glove some more
at the moment i really have no idea how i'm going to get another good weapon, i have no idea really what to try and craft that will deal some good damage. i have a barb straight swoard that i got from kirk that i have upgraded a bit, do you just have to pick a weapon and just go nuts upgrading?

The black knight weapons are good for a first play through. Problem is, there are only so many black knights before the kiln and if they dont drop the weapons you have to wait till you get to the kiln to farm them.
But yea, you can pretty much upgrade whatever weapon you want and it will do decent damage once you max its upgrade path out. Just find something with a move set you like then upgrade it.
You got the large ember from the depths didnt you?
Posted 05:48pm 30/4/12
yeah i havent recieved any black knight gear so far :\
i will keep leveling this barbed swoad i have
Posted 06:17pm 30/4/12
The Drake Sword will last you awhile, more if you upgrade it but I found it to be lacking a bit since enemies begin getting tougher around blighttown.
My favourite weapon comes from Sen's Fortress. I forget exactly where but about half wayish up there is a mimic chest near an elevator. If you kill it he drops a Lightning Spear. That thing is incredibly strong against most mobs and can attack with your shield up.
Quelaag's Furysword is also great as it's very heavy fire damage, I think the biggest of the 1h weapons. Just need her soul + a Lv 10 curved sword. I used a falchion. I love the Falchion moveset as the forward + attack is a quick slash and back roll which I always find handy.
3rd most used weapon for me is the Lifehunt Scythe. +10 scythe with Priscillia's soul, though that may be hard to get since you need to clear the painted world of arimas, which has some cool drops but also quite hard. She turns invisible and you have to keep track of her footprints in snow and fireball her out of invis. Then you have to kill her, cutting off her tail if you can to get an epic dagger which is great for pvp.
Posted 06:22pm 30/4/12
i was considering making that queelag sword actually, i have the soul and i have a falchion and im closish to the giant blacksmith
Posted 08:03pm 30/4/12
If you level up the stats to one hand that BKGA i dropped you pave you will be laughing. You wont get a better dps output then that unless you use temp buffs on +15 weapons.
We should set up some duels DM!

i was thinking of making a new character with either miracles or scorercy
Posted 05:35pm 01/5/12
He is talking about Biggie Smalls (Orstein and Smough) pave, the next boss you got in anor londo!!! :D
Build i am using for that character is a dex/faith build. Its more of a pvp build though. It sacrifices consistent high damage with insanely high damage for 60secs bursts. Catch with that is you only get one charge of Sunlight blade before you have to reset the charges at a bonfire. I can tell you the stat make up and spells i use if you want.
Those aoe bursts you would have seen me spamming is a miracle called Wrath of Gods. It hits for about 500 per charge at that lvl. Its widely accepted as overpowered and cheap, but im sorry most of the japs i come across in pvp are cheap as f***, so they deserve it.
If you get the stats to 1h that axe i dropped for you it will do pretty decent damage. Also upgrade it at the Giant Blacksmith to +5, you will need twinkling titanite. You can find them or buy them from him. He also sells Giants Armour which is the best armour in the game at the mo.
If you do decide to roll a faith or int build, pick one or the other to lvl up not both. Sorc makes it pretty easy with the long range spells, you might get checked at 4kings and Seth though.....Both of those bosses are pretty resistant to magic.
Embarrassingly enough ive sunk over 300 hours into this game, finished it 6 or 7 times and tried out virtually every viable build. Even finished it with a lvl 10 (There have been plenty of people who have done it with a lvl 1). Mind you, i only did that so i could invade newbs in the burg at lvl 10 with lightning weapons and rape their face.
It was Steve's GOTY last year wasnt it?

Posted 05:44pm 01/5/12
Your stats sound fine for an int build. Did you save Big Hat Logan from Sens Funhouse? If not you wont have any of the good spells.
Posted 05:47pm 01/5/12
Posted 05:49pm 01/5/12
EDIT - I stopped using the drake sword long ago. I got a +3 lightning spear I mainly use and a bunch of other weapons besides that I could switch to.

You can farm humanity from the rats in the depths. I can drop you some also i have a bit.
Add me on psn - Bustedfooty
Posted 09:08pm 01/5/12
Good night though! I managed to beat the twins and also pick up that 3 shooter xbow. Took about 6 attempts to get it and after a +5 upgrade only does like 15 damage a hit lol. Need to farm some souls and get this upgraded to a lightning type.

i also upgraded my pyro glove a few times and got fire orb and have upgraded my lightning spear too so i have gone back to anor to give it another go as i should be dealing some better damage now.
as it was those silver knights were just too much, i would spend like minutes trying to kill 1. the ones with the swords i would kill most of the time but the ones with the poleaxes were killing me more often than not
rza i was thinking a miracle build on a knight, someone decent enough with weapons that will get me by until i can ramp up some miracles. i saw someone use the lighting spear the other night and thought that was the coolest thing ever, my guy has it now but no where near enough faith to use it
Posted 09:59pm 01/5/12
Posted 10:07pm 01/5/12
There is no chance of me using that black knight axe for a while, i'm still like 29 strength off being able to use it lol
Posted 11:55pm 02/5/12
Warrior cov is only good to get lightning spear, you get the semi decent one after you drop 10 sunlight medals. Its pretty strong against most bosses and will carry you through an NG run.
Dude f*** the pyro glove, its a waste of souls. There are far more effective spells and miracles around to worry about if you intend to go that path. Its only worthwhile for a build that doesnt invest points into faith or int (even then it blows).
If you want to focus on miracles i suggest starting as a cleric. Reason being they start off with more points in faith so you can reach the minimums for your desired miracles quicker and be able to invest the rest of your stats elsewhere. To be honest it really doesnt matter what class you start with...it just dictates your base stats and starting armour. The starting armour is all pretty bad.
I would recommend the utchigatana (not exactly how you spell it, but its close). Thats what i use. It starts off with B scaling in dex, once you hit 40 dex i think, it changes to A scaling. It also has a 300 bleed proc that can also accumulate when they have a shield up. Another plus is that its dropped by the undead merchant in the parish right at the start. You just have to slice him up.
Sorc is a s***load better then pyro. Pyro f***** blows, i really cant stress it enough :) The Dark Wood Grain Ring is the only ring i always have equipped. The flipping motion has invincibility frames, so essentially, you can flip through any attack while those i frames are up and you wont take damage. You need to have below 50% equipment weight though for the flipping effect to work.
If you pick up havels ring it increases your equip load by 50%. If you pick up Mask of Father it increases it by i think 15 or 20%. If you increase your endurance it will increase it also. As you can see, its pretty easy to get you to under 50% with those two items alone regardless of what you wanna wear.
Havent played a Str/faith build. You would probably be better off with a dex/faith build though mate. Only because, one of the best miracles you can get is sunlight blade that you can use at 30 faith. Its a lightning buff that is applied to the weapon. But it can only be applied to specific weapons. For instance you cant apply it to any of the Black Knight weapons, boss weapons... a lot of weapons that have a high strength requirement basically.

As strong as my pryomancies are on my character I agree. There just isn't enough useful stuff that Miracle users get such as chameleon and shapeshift, something always lulworthy when watching PvP videos of people jumping out of a bush-cloak or something to get a kill.
Posted 01:09pm 03/5/12
yer that's pretty much what i have done, i haven't put any into intel or faith. put most of my points into endurance and vitality and s*** not even much strength of dex. i think my character is a bit borked
yeah i think i will start a cleric this weekend and build up to get, partly because it looks f*****g badass
