Alternatively, get PWWT and both dragons go away. Or, you can use poison cloud on the dragon during 1-2.

You can typically reach pure white pretty easily by defeating a few bosses. Just don't go into the level with your body form, kill yourself in the nexus to make sure you don't die in the level that way. Also, play offline when doing this, the server will work against you.
If your out of bosses, kill the red dragon. Not too hard, just time consuming. I personally would greatly overdue the amount of arrows you bring, just to be safe.
Lot of progress just now.
First, killed The Red Dragon. Poison Cloud'd him hard, went down easy.
Got all of that equipment in the dragon's perch, notalbly the Ring of Great Strength, will allows me to dodge, roll, and regain stamina quickly even with my Fluted Armor on...yeah!
I guess I just consume his soul? Can't do anything with it.
And totally beat 5-2. Use the Eroded Demon's Soul for Acid Cloud? Doesn't seem all that useful...
And, should I obtain Second Chance from the Hero Demon's Soul?

With a Vitality of 20 most people could wear a heavy helmet and light clothing. They can wear/wield a total of 24.5 lbs while still being able to fast roll. The black (assassin's) outfit has poison & disease resistance and is thus ideal for all of World 5. The wizard's outfit and the priest's outfit are more magic resistant and are idea for Worlds 3 and 4. There are a couple sets of clothing with better than average fire protection and these should be worn in Worlds 1 and 2.
For helms I wear Gloom, Dark Steel, and Brushwood. Once you have found the Ancient Kings armour you should look at swapping out one or more of your current outfit. It's lightweight with good defences.
In my melee faith build it is the best spell in the game.

I have been playing this game for 15 hours and I still have only beaten the 1-1 boss. Tower knight keeps destroying me, I got extremely close to beating him then he enraged and killed me. I may start over as a royal because as a temple knight I can't roll very quickly and even though I have brushwood armor and stuff I still get raped. I also went through 3-1 and almost got to the boss but died on some round thing that killed me (not really sure what it was it just killed me very quickly).
This game is genius. Absolutely the best game I have played since the N64.
Question though, I can't get half moon grass to appear in my D-pad down inventory, I keep having to go into the menu to heal with it. Anyone know how to put it back in there?

You might be better off just un equiping your large armor to beat the Tower Knight, dodging his attacks and getting to his feet is pretty difficult other wise. As for that thing in 3-1, its best to avoid it or kill it from afar, its melee attacks are pretty dangerous and you dont get that many souls for killing it anyway.
Also for your d-pad inventory, you need to equip the item. Theres five slots on the right side of your equipment menu for items.

Yeah, try taking off your armor, and get a feel for the play style of the faster character. That quick roll will help you dodge some of the knights spear attacks with good timing. Brushwood is incredibly heavy to be using with an early level of endurance.
That round thing on the floor were the paralyzing glyphs she puts on the ground. She will set down 5, and they glow at first, but fade away. You have to make something of a quick mental map of areas to avoid when they are glowing. She probably hit you with a spell while you were paralyzed.
I'm just feeling so empowered in this game now.
Now that I can dodge, the Red Eye Knights in 1-3 a more or less easy peasy.
Though, I got killed my a Black Phantom with a huuuge sword, but he never showed up again afterwards, was he a one time thing?
Didn't tackle the boss though, don't have time. Plus I gotta free Biorr and Yuria.

It wasn't on the floor it was some weird bizarre round floating thing before the boss that killed me extremely quickly.
Going to try it again today. Is there any good armor that I could get that I can move more quickly in? I do have the endurance to wield the shield and I'm using the Crescent Falchion since it seems to be better than any other weapon I have right now.
I give up. can't beat the final boss...he's just too fast and too strong. Im a knight with dark armour and the tower knight sheild (the gigantic sheild) using a level 5 dragon sword. I get about 5 hits before he attacks and kills me in a couple hits. Id rather not have to resort to summoning blue souls....want this guy dead by my hands alone.

Congrats, and happy bday!
MY GOD! Why are you using all that heavy equipment??? Like Theta11 said, you need to use something that would allow you dodge and/or run away when he's doing the earth quake move or the move where he just runs (more like glides) towards you and slashes you a few time with his sword, you can't avoid these two attacks with those equipment on!kinggroin said:

Having beaten all of World 5 today I feel a lot less frustrated with NG+. It's easy getting used to running through without much difficulty, so I had to buckle down and play cautiously.
Only World 3 is left, but with the exception of 3-3, I hate the bosses in it.

Death Cloud for sure.
Started the game as a temple knight. I find myself not using my heal miracle at all. I'm 9 hours in at soul level 19. Have only beaten the first boss. 2-1 spider boss gave me too much trouble. My stats are 16,8,16,,18,12,6,14,7 in the order listed. I'm finding myself liking the winged spear over halberd. Right now the winged spear is +2. Should I stick with that or go with a bug weapon that uses my strength? I also read about a crescent weapon in 4-1? Also, I need a ranged weapon, where can I find a good one and what stats do I improve to be good with a bow?

Temple Knight are the best for melee, so you gotta decide if you want to go dex or str. Bows scales with dex. 4-1 has a compound long bow right next to a skeleton archer and it's also where you get the crescent falchion +1. If you go str, I would recommend a compound long bow +10 instead of a sticky compound long bow +5.minx88 said:
My sl 119 strength build:
50 vit
18 int
40 end
50 str
12 dex
6 mag
16 faith
7 luck
or go sl 125 dex build:
50 vit
18 int
40 end
18 str
50 dex
6 mag
16 faith
7 luck
Both are good. Dex does more damage with bows, but strength gets 50% more str when their weapon is two handed. Do you prefer to dual wield or use a two handed weapon?
