Basically the trick is to avoid the water blasts until you're close enough for it to stop spitting them. They're pretty slow, so you can dodge them. Once you're closer, it'll stop with the water blasts and the heads will attack you - at 21 endurance with a completely non-upgraded hollow soldier shield, I was able to block most of those attacks, get a few lashes in and had enough time for my stamina to recharge until the next one. Easy as pie. Just don't get too close or you'll drown.

i mistakenly killed the guy with the egg sack on his back that blocks your way to the chaos covenant chick? is he an important npc?

if for some reason you didn't get a pyromancy flame earlier, you can grab one from him. he also sells some fire spells. but in the grand scheme of things he's not that big of a deal

ok also

the firelink pyromancy dude dipped on me and now the only pyromancy person that can upgrade me is the blighttown bitch i guess he was looking for. i guess i'd gotten almost everything i wanted from him but am i going to see his ass again? can i get those spells somewhere else? i think stoneskin and something else. whatver the non-fireball related ones were.

Does anybody have any idea why I heard someone snoring once when I walked into the area of the Firelink Shrine that's full of water? Just once, too, it never came back.

I hate this game.

have you already rang both bells ? if you have go from firelink bonfire toward where the huge raven is

There's nothing on the Wiki or its forums about this that I can find. Weird.

I did just find out that I'm going to go and kill Lautrec for his ring first thing tomorrow, though. Fuck that guy.

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

Wait, no, I don't.

you'll find out who is snoring after you ring the second bell

dude

that shit was so amazing and funny and wtf

i almost peed a little when i rounded that corner

i was actually trying to go in the doorway to the short cut and aimed for the door to the catacombs first and turned to go to the other door went WOAH WOAH WOAH. and made my guy walk back slowly for effect

Ha ha - Yeah I rang the second bell last night and encountered why the snoring can be heard in the watery bit of Firelink.

I am glad I only have to grind another 40K to get my Pyro up to the +5 from Swamp beyatch.

Now I have unlocked the big gate, have the the mission to go and get the teleporty thing and have about half a dozen goat demon dudes standing around on the cooled magma where the Ceaseless Discharge was - I am unsure which path to take next...

i walked around demon ruins, slowly, for like 2 minutes tops and had a pretty distinct feeling i wasn't supposed to be there yet.

game rules.

Oh...pardon me Pardoner of Valka....this is kind of awkward....so what you're saying is that you don't have an unlimited supply of Rings of Sacrifice for sale? Yes, i guess I did kind of take that for granted....

or those de-curse stones. i almost smashed that asshole when i found that out

Dear game interface: I wish we could come to some sort of gentlemen's agreement regarding the superfluous confirmation to activate a homeward bone...

I hate the fuck out of this game. Twice now I've earned a humanity and lost it before I could get another one to kindle a goddamned campfire!! I was stoked on killing the stupid boar and somehow got taken out by arrows and two undead knights in like .5 seconds and lost 4k souls and a humanity.

i'm playing my NG+ instead of arkham city

Once you grin out 20k and get the forest grind down, you can earn 3-7 k a run per minute mate.

It's a resolve testing operation that scales with you.

"yes honey...you have watched all of your downloaded TV shows...time for my game..."

Also, everytime you kill a boss in co-op, you gain one humanity. Of course this is a bit problematic at the moment because summoning only works when it wants to, but generally, people do seem to check if there's a summon sign right outside boss areas and killing them is pretty easy if you have help.

And yeah, getting slaughtered just when you think you've really accomplished something is part of what you signed up for, I'm afraid. At least the Armored Tusk doesn't respawn. If this is the first one in the Undead Parish that we're talking about here, I thought that room was pretty difficult too, but it's all about strategy, really.

i'm in the cat covenant right now trying to get the five kills for shiva and i keep invading the same dude and he keeps fucking slaughtering me

he must be so annoyed

holy fuck invasions are tough

Out of curiosity, why do you apparently like this game so much more than Demon's Souls?
