yay beat O+S finally. The difference between a +1 and +5 ascended glove is pretty staggering. Also learning how to dodge forward with super ornstein helps a ton.

quaunaut posted:I'm fairly sure I hosed my character up though. My vitality is at 12 while my Endurance is at 25. Warrior. Someone told me "Stamina is all that matters" and now pretty much every fight is a question of whether I lost half my HP in a hit or not. Unless you're planning on doing PvP later, there's really no such thing as loving up your character; you can always just get more souls and keep leveling up. That said, 25 endurance should be plenty for now. I would start putting points in either vitality or your primary damage stat (most non-spellcasting characters have either a very high strength with just enough dexterity to use the weapon they want, or vice versa).

In general a slightly more balanced approach is a good idea, but if you're making an END build you can finish the game without putting a single point in VIT by tanking everything and everyone.

Dickweasel Alpha posted:That's every battle in this game. Keep raising your END unless you're getting one-shot by everything or find a new weapon you need better stats for, and want to use. Don't forget to upgrade your shield and pieces of armor. Armor itself doesn't matter, wear whatever looks cool, but make sure to upgrade it ... Against anything you should actually be scared about though yeah armor is not going to do much other than make you take three or four hits to die instead of one or two. Also, get a good shield.

Zereth posted:Armor isn't entirely useless. Poise helps, it can significantly boost your poison or curse resist with the right set for certain situations, and wandering around in fully upgraded Black Iron means you can be kinda sloppy around early-game enemies without worrying about getting killed. Are you saying my Knight's shield isn't good enough for you? More seriously: Managed to get myself quite a bit further, pretty much to the end of Darkroot Garden, except I need to go back at kill myself the Bell Gargoyles. Also, those Stone Guardian/Golem/things, holy poo poo are they cool. Not-too-difficult, but still requiring precision, and 600 souls per kill? Why yes I'd like to take all 5 per run, plus all the bushes running about. Also managed to get myself the Wolf Ring. The extra 40 poise I think is gonna do wonders for me.

I've been playing around with the Balder Side Sword and Uchigatana, do either of them have good upgrade paths beside +15? Like Lightning or Fire, even Magic too. It looks like Lightning BSS has some good stats.

Kamer Kamer Cola posted:Is there a guide on how to use cheat engine to modify a character's stats? There's an entire Dark Souls cheat engine table out there that can do it for you by giving you values to change instead of making you search for them yourself. I don't think it's been updated for the latest patch though.

Start up DS, load game. Start up CE, prompt should come up asking if you want to load the table. If nothing comes up just open the table manually (Ctrl+O). Check the box next to "Enable Table" and go back to the game. Run around for a second to let the CE table get all the values it needs. Alt-tab back out and change whatever values you want.

It looks like Lightning BSS has some good stats. If you're only going for the bare minimum required for those weapon, you won't get much damage increase out of the scaling so you might as well go for a lightning sword. But if you're planning to pump dex the normal upgrade path is better. It may seem that for example +5 lightning uchi does more damage then a regular +15 one with dex 40. But the lightning's damage is spread over two damage types and will end up doing less damage. Also weapons in the regular upgrade patch are enchantable, which can provide a heave damage boost.

How important is it that I use a gamepad for this? It's not a big deal or anything, I have a 360 controller laying around; I just want to know if I'm going to have trouble if I use mouse and keyboard since I'm not a fan of controllers.

Is there a second winged spear somewhere in the game? I stupidly fed it (plus the zweihander) to Frampt. If not, I guess my only option is to try to find someone who has a spare and wouldn't mind giving me one of each.

The current cheat tables are mostly broken. God willing, nobody will post totally fixed versions with everything in them. Almost nobody knows how to use them responsibly.Lemon Curdistan posted:Is there a second winged spear somewhere in the game? I stupidly fed it (plus the zweihander) to Frampt.

Hooooly poo poo i just got put in my place. I've been invading a bunch as maneater manfred in anor londo, I just logged on tonight and managed 3 kills in a row so I was feeling pretty jazzed. I get another invasion, I spawn in, I run into the bonfire room there and there is some guy there with the usual newbie formula of lightning spear, grass crest shield and random pieces of armour. He bows to me so I do the retarded 2h R2 cleaver smash on him then hit him again immediately. He's down to like 20 friggin health or something and the grass crest shield isnt 100 physical resist so I figure I'll wail on him till he dies. My very next hit he parries and ripostes me. When he sticks the spear through me it only does a tiny bit of damage so I figure this guy is done. Then he pushes me on the ground and shoves it further through and I die immediately. Turns out he had the hornet ring and that's the alternate animation. I sent him a message afterwards saying how awesome it was.

Sure, you cut off upgrades with Andre, but Domnhall is the cheeriest character you meet in the entire game, not to mention one of the very few who never goes hollow or even really has anything weighing him down. He's one of the rare points of light in the darkness of Lordran and you went and snuffed him out.

Thanks for the advice on how to present my brother with his Dark Souls code, guys! I might make the Archer gif into a comic, or, if I'm feeling lazy, just print out a big "YOU DIED" screenshot and put "Welcome to Dark Souls. Prepare to Die! A lot!" at the bottom with the code." Anyone know of a good way to pull stills from a gif?
