The winner will eventually die by Astrosurfing but still...

Missed the LE when it came out so yay! Will probably sell the game since I only need the Soundtrack and Artbook.

that's a better deal than just a regular GH
poor Atlus, they shoulda been the one publishing Project Dark.
I have an idea
Bamco should continue on with Projeck Dark
Sony should make a direct Demon's Souls sequel
Atlus should fund From Soft to make a game similar to Demon's Souls

Saw my friend play this thinking about borrowing or getting it myself. How good does a holy based character do? Like mostly holy magic and stuff :lol
QisTopTier said:
Character class only plays important role in the beginning of the game. Eventually the boundaries between classes will disappear as you progress. Meaning a priest can be as powerful as a knight in melee combat, or the other way around.
Magic/Royal is the easiest class to start with

Well I didn't mean character class but a build pretty sure everyone starts for the most part with royal :lol
I'm finding NG+ surprisingly easy. I beat all of world 3 yesterday (though I died plenty in 3-1). I've also beat 1-1 and 2-1.
A holy based character would do fine as long as you compliment it with a good melee or magic setup. The holy spells aren't offensive enough to just focus on them and have much success progressing through the game. In fact, the only offensive holy spell I can think of is God's Wrath, which is damn good, but you won't be able to cast it more than once without refueling mana. Most holy spells are defensive (e.g. second chance [revives you], antidote [removes status effects], evacuate [lets you port out of level without losing souls]). Since in all likelihood you'll be pumping stats into intelligence to get your MP up anyway, you might just become a magic/holy hybrid like I did.
I ended up losing a # of levels at the end of my last play through, however. Since then I've focused on making my priest a melee character.

If you go for high Faith then get a Blessed Mirdan Hammer as your melee weapon. You make it by getting a Mirdan Hammer to +6 with Hardstone then using Faintstone to make it Blessed, maxing out at +5. It's damage scales up with Faith and it has HP regen. High Faith will also make God's Wrath (the only direct offensive miracle) more powerful and Warding (armor miracle) more effective so you should be pretty durable. Miracles only have 1 offensive option so a Holy character would be more like a Paladin (melee+support holy magic) than a Mage.
For stats, try:
VIT --a point every few levels--
INT 15 (for 100 mana to cast God's Wrath or Second Chance miracles)
END 40 (for maxed stamina)
STR 14 (for Mirdan Hammer)
DEX 12 (for Mirdan Hammer)
MAG --ignore--
FAT --a point every few levels--
LUK --ignore--
Temple Knight is the best starting class for this because it has the lowest Magic and Luck possible which are the stats you don't need. It also starts with enough Strength and Dexterity for a Mirdan Hammer so you don't have to worry about them. Just alternate points between Vitality, Intelligence, Endurance and Faith, stopping Intelligence at 15 and Endurance at 40.

That's an awesome deal. Same price as GH, but you get the extra goodies.shwimpy said:

Been playing this for the first time, today. Not quite sure how I feel about it.
Started off as a hunter and couldn't even kill the blue eyed guy on the wooden scaffolding steps on 1-1, so started again as a Knight. And i'm struggling again with the combat.
Might start again as a Royal.

MarkMclovin said:
Royal beats it pretty easily if you clear the area and have Theif's Ring equpped. Just take potshots with Soul Arrow then back off until he stops chasing. As a melee character you have to dodge the blue eye, don't bother blocking since at this point you probably don't have the stamina to withstand more than 1 hit before he breaks your guard anyways.

Never used resurrection or relief? Resurrection sends the phantom back to body form right?Zzoram said:
So I was fooling around with my temple knight and wanted to make a low level stealth build. Currently SL20 Temple Knight with Dragon Longsword +5, Binded Set, Thief's Ring, Cling Ring. Miridan Hammer has a longer range and is better for pvp? Might use that as my backup.
Honestly I just want to punish invaders lol.
Just finished my first run of the game with lv 80. Damn the final boss in 1-4 is hard but nothing beats poision cloud cheat :lol :lol
This game definitely worths the title of the best RPG in 2009 but it could be so much better if all the info from DS wiki were embedded in-game.

I keep dying in the same spot. Also dieing where the rock throwing dudes are.
I am not liking this. Too fucking hard.
I'm heading back to 1-1, grinding for some souls, and powering up my long sword further.
Any tips to deal with the salmanders? How do I get their fires to stay out? Need a crossbow to deal with those long range..huh.

Well don't be coy. Where?
Oh come on, man. :lol Just be careful and time it right. There should be a "It's safe here" message at the point of no return; if not, I think there's a crate or something right near there anyway. As soon as the second boulder drops, run.

Today, I beat DS for the first time. I don't recall being this proud of beating a game in a long, long time.
Thanks, From Software, for crafting such a unique and challenging game.

You drop through the gap in the wall in front of where the Blue-eyed Knight is.

Nowhere near the stairs. Up on that section with all the catapults, there'll be a broken part in the wall, go through it and drop down there for the crossbow.

For the salamanders, I just dodged their attack and relentlessly beat the fuck out of them with my dagger, but that's cause I'm a thief. =Pgdt5016 said:
The reason resurrection sucks is because most blue phantoms want to co op with you. Ressurection send them back in body form without getting to play, and it doesn't increase your character tendency, so there is no point but to annoy blues who probably wanted to co op. The lack of communication means you can't know if they just want a quick body form or if they wanted to see your strategy for beating the level.zerokoolpsx said:

For some reason, Ostrava didn't appear where he is supposed to be in 1-3. And I did rescue him in the earlier levels. Am I screwed now?
