You should explore every nook in cranny in the Nexus at the very least and every level you go to, exploration is thoroughly rewarded in this game.RedSwirl said:

I found another area I had never been to before yesterday
the tier of dead monumentals below the one you normally go to, I had seen them lined up, but never knew you could walk there, and never knew about that ephemeral stone found in the Nexus.

I really should finish off my playthrough before Dark Souls comes out - it's made even more depressing that the only thing I need to do to finish it is defeat the false king.
Which is weird, because I didn't really have a problem with any other boss and according to everything I've read he shouldn't be all that difficult. Yet I just get my ass handed to me and all of the tricks I've read don't work very well.

The only reason why I ever saw that corpse and the one across was before suiciding, I decided to admire the architecture and noticed a faint glow.INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:

Got invaded and killed for first time today :'
Soul arrow did too little damage boo, gotta play more tomorrow, loving it
What do I do with phalanx's soul? Keep it for now or use it for something right away? According to wiki it's only usable for Scraping Spear which doesn't seem to be that great or am I wrong?
P.S. That damn dog pack under bridge almost got me
P.P.S Soul Arrowed red dragon to death! ha

How do I invade? I always use the black stone, but it always says "Invasion failed".
Also, I'm having difficulties with armored spider in NG+. I can't get his health to drop below 50% and I've spent an insane amount of consumables. I'm uwing +3 Blessed Mirdal Hammer. Any tips? Should I switch to a magic weapon?

Also there needs to be someone available to invade that is in your level range at the time you try to invade.Lagspike_exe said:
EDIT: I used Crescent Falchion +4 in my NG+ run on the armor spider. Went down pretty fast with the magic based weapon.

I started by getting 40 endurance for max Stamina, and also because it increases equip burden so I can roll in heavy armor. Then I brought vit/str/dex up a bit and now I'm working on luck because I am not getting many Large Stone drops from Phalanxs in 1-2. (with Large Sword of Searching I'm hoping I will get high quality drops at around ~25 luck.)

For Armor Spider in NG+, Brushwood Shield and Sticky White stuff on a vanilla weapon does the trick really fast.Lagspike_exe said:

This game is not good after a few beers.
I died not far into 4-2 with about 30,000+ souls. Went to work, came back, had a few beers, and carried on with my game. Got absolutely slaughtered.
Then after trying to see where the level went and dying loooooooads more, I must have lost about another 50,000+ souls.

Been on another playthrough for the last few hours, I'm on 4-2 again. Any uber-secrets or items that I should know about this time. I've always has trouble with this entire mission.
Have yet to really get into this game, as I've had limited time. I played again today for about, 40 minutes or so and I'm still at the Belatoria(?) castle.
I feel like I'm playing this game wrong?
First off, I didn't even know the game was multiplayer before I started reading this thread.
Second, the progression seems off. i.e. I'm reaching hint points that suggest things like: "Use a spell on the next enemy" and I don't even have an idea of how to use spells (I don't even think I have any) or "Use a projectile here" and I don't have any (that I know of).
On one hand I think it's hella cool that I can play an rpg and it has this level of mystique in this day and age of the internet. On the other hand, I'm an adult now, and my time is limited.
Do I need to be playing this game with others or something?
*edit*
As I was typing this, I realized I could always try reading the manual :3
lawl!
Old-school!

They seem to get me every time...EasyMode said:
Xeno_Flux2113 said:
The beam shooting ones? If you throw a soul remains directly at one it will switch to its melee attack or shoot at the wrong spot, allowing you to get in close or run by it. If you have a dark silver shield you can just block it too.
P.S.: Did you find out if you have that pure bladestone? I still got the pure darkmoon, moonlight and faintstones.

To give you guys an update on how I am doing on the game. I beat the Dragon God but after kept getting my ass whopped so I quit. Yes, I will give the game another try but it just one of those games where If I keep playing I'm going to pop a blood vessel. Started playing Star Ocean

EasyMode said:
Yeah I checked and don't have one... really sorry about that I thought I had one.
The one that gets me is on the one that spawns by/after the second reaper is killed. It always seems to get a backstab on me even though I look for it when I hear the laughing.
Hey guys, I need some assistance please. I just leveled up for the first time and increased my max HP. So I went back to Boletaria Castle and a dragon killed me, but when I died I lost not only all of my souls but my max HP went back down to what it was.
I tried going back to the Siren to increase it again, but it's not going up. So now I'm back to being one shotted by enemies and I don't know why?

Are you in soul form?
xenoflux2113

Wait so your Vitality stat itself or your health bar? If you beat a boss you get your body back and then if you die in Body form you go Soul Form... no footsteps more glowwy and the like. If its your health bar then its because you are in soul form, any upgrades to vitality will take effect but you will still have only half your total hp because you are in soul form.Khal_B said:
Edit: If its your vitality stat that will not raise when you level up then I'd say start over the file might be bad somehow.

Sounds like you're still in soul form, get cling ring http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG018Yg4kOM first thing, and read first part of this http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/concepts
Khal_B said:
You leveled up, meaning you killed Phalanx (the first boss). Defeating a boss Demon revives you and gives your body back along with your full health bar. Dying turns you into Soul Form and halves your health bar. Use the Cling Ring to get to about 3/4ths while in Soul Form or find another way to regain your body.
As the others have said, read the manual. It's a goldmine for information.
buhdeh said:
Same. Been farming for a pure bladestone for three hours yesterday...no luck.
Payback for the first time I found one within 15 minutes I guess...
Khal_B said:
As oracrest says: don't read too much. You can basically do it all on your own and a lot of fun is found through exploration (and fear).

Fire weapons do wonders against them. I beat them the bitch way (kill one with arrows behind the fog, use the bonfire as a shield between me and the second to shoot it, took forever) my first two playthroughs but on NG++ I decided to sack up and melee both of them at once. I used Dragon Claymore +5 to successfully do the deed.MiniBossBattle said:
