Fighting the Butterfly definitely prepares you for the other boss in Anor Londo, that's for sure. Once you start dodging lasers and "Pursuers" you get a handle for dodging a homing soul mass

The closest I've come to dying is the knights jumping around with their swords out, falling off, and the auto-targeting trying to drag me with them.

Bought the game during the Amazon sale, finally got around to installing the game. Everything works fine until the opening cutscene ends at which point the game crashes. I have DSFix installed. I'm on Windows 7, Intel i5 processor, GTX 560 Ti graphics card. Any ideas?

I have died there more often than in any other non-boss place in the game. There is a reason why if you search for "anor londo" auto-complete helpfully suggests "archers".

Huh, I did not expect to be fighting a giant wolf wielding a sword in its mouth. Also, would I be correct assuming that fighting him after ringing the church bell is a bit too early?

I fought him right after finishing the Depths, with no armor and two-handing a Black Knight Sword. Just run right up into his butt and try to stay behind him, and take the time when he jumps away to drink a flask if you got hit.

You are expected to fight him before taking on one of the endgame bosses, technically. But "expected playthrough" and "Dark Souls" aren't really compatible.

Speaking of, do you guys know of anywhere in the game that Sif is referred to with a gendered pronoun? I thought she was a girl because Sif is a girl in Norse mythology.

Sif is a girl because there's girl chants in her song and that's the rule with boss music apparently.

Any particular reason for 9 attunement slots? I'm probably going to use Velka's rapier and steal some of those points for dex.

When you get multiples of the same spell on subsequent playthroughs you can slot them. So twice as many crystal souls spear, or homing crystal soul mass, or those god damned dark sorceries.

Also if you start as a pyromancer and then buy another fireball from Laurentius you can run around with 16 fireballs on your first playthrough.

I decided to restart with a Wanderer build. So far I've been banking most of my souls in to vitality. I'm level 8 in the first bonfire in undeadburg... is that too high?

What's the general level range for fighting Hunters in Darkroot? If I wandered around there at say.. level 100, would I get invaded frequently?

I do have a Darkwraith set up to invade around Sen's/Anor Londo but I typically either lose every match or it takes forever for me to connect to someone. Still, the thrill of the hunt is fun. Like the time I jumped off the rafters in Anor Londo to backstab the guy just as he went through the fog gate. Good times.

It's super satisfying to lead a random guy through Anor Londo on his first run, including fighting off a darkwraith. Trivia: if you're standing in front of an unopened mimic and someone else attempts to open the chest, it can chew your head off instead of the other guy's! I guess my "Well! What is it!" gesture in front of the chest wasn't clear enough.

So, Dark Souls has been out for over a year now, has there been anything yet about a sequel?

Nope. Maybe we'll hear something next E3. It took 2 and a half years to make Dark Souls after Demon's Souls came out. It seems like From is being kept busy doing other things. Much of the team worked on Artorias of the Abyss, while the rest were probably on other From projects. The lead designer is being really cagey about a potential sequel, saying that it's in Namco's hands. I may be reading too into it, but he doesn't seem much happier working with Namco than Atlus.

TheBlandName posted:Red phantoms can only invade people at 90% of their soul level, not 90%-10. Aside from using better gear (which is very significant) the mechanical advantage lies with the host. This is pretty old by now, but: I went fishing for invasions at level 50 in Anor Londo for a while. I got a lot of SL 60-63 Darkwraiths invading me.

I'm playing around with the dragon greatsword and it's better than I thought. Before I had used it much I had thought of it as a kind of inferior DMG with an annoying stat requirement but with a cool ability, but man is that cool ability amazing. In addition to the usefulness of having a powerful ranged attack, it's also really nice that if you manage to hit with the tip of the sword on an r2 (which is easy to do), you hit with both the wave and the slash, which adds up to a monster attack (the dragon greataxe also does this double hit thing). I'm sunbroing O&S and hitting smough for 1550 and super orns for 1250! Smough goes down in three hits, almost as brutal as sorcery.
