The NPC you're looking for is trapped in one of the worlds. You can't learn the soul ray spell until you rescue him. Talk to the people in the nexus for a clue about his location.Fox1304 said:

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
I bought this yesterday but election business is keeping me away from it.

That one comic was right. 5-1 is indeed a shithole. Damn level layout has killed me more times than the depraved ones. :lol I keep slipping into the gaping void in a wide array of situations. I've fallen while fighting, while fending off attackers, while trying to reach a tricky spot, while running away from a giant depraved.
Fellas, any suggestions on how to buff up my Mage character? Currently using a Morion Blade in the left hand and an Instanity Catalist in the right with the life bar at 30%. The two rings are the Clever rat and Magical Sharpness. Also wearing the Monk's hat. I don't think another Morion Blade does anything in the off hand and I can't stack another Clever Rat ring.

Yeah, they are most frustrating, but I like him as a boss character(s) the most. my most helpful trick has been to
roll into or directly with his crouching lunge. I usually get up right next to him, or far enough away to cast a spell quickly. Also, I try to keep in line with the bridge. by far, the way that I have died the most in his fight is to dive to the side, and off the edge

That's pretty much my setup: Kris blade, headwrap, fragrant ring, magical sharpness ring. I also just keep pumping my stats into magic, so my soul rays are pretty tough, most enemies go down in one hit.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
So most of my experience with this game is derived from my pure melee character... I'm very new to magic/faith.
Right now I'm leveling a new build and trying to balance magic and faith... is this stupid? Honestly, it's pretty well-rounded atm. I've put some levels into dexterity, but I'm staying pretty even on intelligence, faith and magic.
Is is better to have characters with and either/or faith/magic focus?

freke's apprentice (the npc trainer who appears after 1-1) will teach you some basic spells.Fox1304 said:
sage freke, who must be rescued from 3-1, will teach you the same spells plus better ones that require unique demon's souls from defeating bosses.
Fox1304 said:
no what they are saying is that when you reach level 100, it doesn't matter what class you started with because all of them will have reached the same stats/ spells that you want in the end. And royal is the best class to start with because you start at level 1, has one of the best rings in the game, and has a spell that 1 shots most mobs in the begininng.

so starting royal and going to thief works better than going straight thief.

The 2-1 boss got me scared after the first few tries so I returned to world 1 and reached the boss on 1-2 and lived for like 5 seconds. Figured that the 2-1 boss wasn't that bad then, so gave it another try with great succes
This game gets my adrenaline pumping so hard, I wonder if i'll make it past the entire game

Great play session
Boss 1-2 down, Red Dragon down, I now have loads of souls to use.
But the question remains : what's my best bet for using souls right now ?
I was thinking about a full stats upgrade, not to risk loosing them in a new world.
Also ... tonight, got kicked from a co-op game because of connection instability. We were at 1-2 boss and he only had 5% of his life left bye bye souls

unless you want to actively/ competively PvP, there is no reason to restart your character and choose a certain build. It doesn't even matter that much what you use your souls on if you aren't PvP'ing (as that has a cap of 120 or so and you have a proper constraint to work around then). People have beaten the game under level 10, I'm not suggesting everyone do that but it highlights the importance of stats not meaning THAT much in the grand scheme of things.

If you're a melee character, I'd say go with endurance. Attack, defense, rolling, equipment weight limit, all depends on endurance/stamina.
but remember, after 40, endurance gives you diminishing return.

So I upgraded a Cemetar (lol) and bought lot of Magic points.
Soul Array is awesome
How do you like that scimitar? Man, I've gotta jump back in to this...

Cleared 5-1 last night. Now I'm having a bit of a hard time with 4-2.
I'm an expert
Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
With the level or the boss?
Take your time and take out the mantarays with ranged attacks. Same with the red-eyed skelly. The cave section can be tricky but feel free to run past a lot of the stuff. The skellies outside can be abused pretty badly with the cliffs. Careful at the last section before the slug room.
The boss is one of the best in the game but once you get his trick is super easy. Honestly impossible to die once you figure it out.

I got this yesterday, and I'm loving it, but I have a few questions
I was playing the tutorial when I was running down a hallway, at the end of which was a large beastly looking creature. I barely had time to exit the hallway before he killed me with two hits and the tutorial ended... that was supposed to happen, right?
2nd, in my inventory there are all these colored sybols red, orange, green, white next to my weapon stats... but I have no idea what they stand for. I don't know how to figure out my weapon stats or degradation!

1. yes that's suppose to happen. though you can actually kill the fat monster boss, then you're taken to a new area with tons of loots and new cutscene
2. don't recall those colors in the weapon stats, could it be physical damage, fire damage, magic damage, faith damage, etc or physical defense, magic, fire, poison defense? not sure I have to see the screen to confirm

I remember when my unpatched HK copy was stuck in pure black world tendency and every time i managed to make it through the dragon fire, the evil knights, turned black fantom-like shit-fuckers, would rape my butt ghetto style, while the guys up top kept poking my shit with crossbow bolts.Fox1304 said:Just according to Keikaku ... this game is kicking my ass sooooo hard !
Can't manage to beat The Tower Knight, even though I know how
Playing as a mage right now, but thinking about restarting a Royal.
Any tips for beating 1-2 ? Should I farm souls in order to pass this level, or am I just a weak-sauce mage ?
Good times.
Once i was man enough to make it through all that butt-fucking alive, making tower knight my prison bitch was a breeze.
