Total protection is just like the great magic barrier, wont spoil more, but it really helps against him. Don't let him grab you at any cost! He's worst than Gwyn lol! When he slams his sword to the ground and start to charge a magic attack, you run away because he will do an huge AoE

he's not that bad, he's faster but a lot weaker than gwyn. And well please don't recommend things to me that require magic, I'm using a totally melee build against him (yes i'm doing it to make my life harder, with long range i'd probably breeze him)

But yeah i've seen his full arsenal of attacks, the only thing i'm worried about is the pretty bad stability of dark silver shield, im gonna upgrade it a bit but wont be anywhere near the 75 of my steel shield..

Well, crap lol. No tips on total melee builds. I mean, I used a spear, is melee right?

well if you want me to experiment im happy to upgrade some weapons, best 'fast' weapon i have is my searching sword which has about 250 pur physical, which is good, only 50 damage less than physical of cleaver which is basically all im hitting allant with judging by damage (changed mid fight lol)

any recommendations? dunno what to upgrade though, my Sharp uchi +3 is naff less than 200 power and getting upgrade materials for that is a *****..

and yeah spear is melee, i was considering getting myself a troll spear see how good it is

Knight sword and kilij are good and fast melee weapons.

Also, when Allant is preparing the AoE attack Carphil mentioned, do not run away. Just run at him and cancel the preparation by hitting him.

what upgrade path for those if i use them?

and is penetrating sword any good? looks pretty awesome and has long reach but not sure if it's worth upgrading

No, the Penetrator sword ain't so good. You'll find plenty of better weapons. And if I remember correctly, it's upgraded with primeval demon's souls. You do NOT want to waste them on it.

And for the knight sword and kilij, I'd take the normal route, since you're most likely going to use lots of levels on STR and DEX.

thanks, Ill try the Kiji first looks good for scaling

Yeah, the thing I loved about Demon's Souls was that the smaller weapons were really great in it. In Dark Souls, it's just claymore, claymore, claymore, zweihänder, BKGA and other big weapons.

1000. post in this thread!

When does it actually restart BTW? When it's a little over 1000?

yeah something like that, will mean this threas has over 2000 posts, terrifying stuff eh?

...plus the Official Off-Topic thread back in the old forums. It goes pretty high. Well over 3000.

thats one was by emergence, this one is mine

2000 posts and counting, the longest thread on the forums.

btw did you read the latest acidic cook thing?

Yeah, I don't usually follow but that was an interesting read. God I really want to do magic shields tonight, the suspense of how it could turn out is killing me, plus with that done all the really useful shield upgrades will be complete.

It was interesting but.. you know i'd prefer something concrete and to be fair on his thread of joy saying as though he'd found the idea behind the pendant, when it was just another bit of speculation.

im kinda disappointed now a while ago id given up on the pendant as something we'd never find or wasn't there to be found but his little spiel in the thread kinda brought it back

Finally picked myself one up off Reah, decided 6 castings of WotG was enough for me so this playthrough I allowed her death. Next few I may pick up more just to be a butt.

Oh and if you haven't already check any of the small shields and compare to the medium and see what you think about the layout changes.

Well I think I'm back to playing dark souls now, and wow :shock:

Looks like this thread is gonna be Version 3 very soon....

Did you change them since posting this topic? Despite my best efforts I can see a difference in formatting.

i presume he or one of the other shield crew did

Lets talk about something!

new topic: what is your favorite element?

For me its wind. Wind because it can change a lot just like the humans emotions, and also is something that you can't see but you feel. I mean is something more important than people think it is. The wind can be weak when the person is rested, or in love, and the wind can become a storm, that destroys so much as a fire, like when the person is enraged.

What you guys like? Fire, water, ice, air, lightning, earth...

I am a huge fan of water. The sustaining material for all life on the planet. While taken for granted, it is one of the most precious things that is contained on Earth. It is strong, capable of molding whole landmasses as it sees fit, yet is fluid and without form, able to seep into the smallest of spaces. Scientifically it is astounding, it's structure being responsible for creating it's strong cohesive surfaces, it's extremely high heat sink capacity (wrong words there) and its ability to be one of the few substances that is less dense when solid then when liquid. Heck, it is even important for shielding us from the some of the harmful rays from the sun. Beyond it's physical nature, it is amazing for the emotions that it's nature and beauty stir within the human heart.

Auxiliary effects has been mostly removed, critical is removed as shields can't crit. We are changing any 0's to dashes which may not seem like much now as information is still missing but it really makes it easier on the eyes for the pages we have corrected.

As for elements, Divine and Fire tend to fit me well.

I think you'll find carphil that ice and lightning are biproducts of other element, water and wind respectively.

and I like wind, just seems cool

I know but I wanted to add more since people seems to like lightning over fire! This kind of ideia got it? And of course ice is from water but not necesseraly in water form which means people may like ice for being solid and snowny, and dislike water for being shapeless.

I like fire. It's warm and it's relaxing to stare at a fireplace or a campfire.
