my current goal of grinding up massive +damage gems so that i can wallop OoK is going pretty well. about to head into the defiled chalice, and once i get root ihyll i can start making depth five F/R/C chalices and getting high powered radials. i'm at level 100 right now, but i'm considering going up to 110 to bump my vit a little to make defiled bosses less of a pain.

They don't start to shine until +6 or so, then they become killing machines

thank you, I shall press on and report back. They just to +5 and I don't have gems for them yet. I am liking the dodge attack a lot too. These have such a different rhythm than everything else I've played with grrr

Its made by the same guy who did those Dishwasher Samurai games. They were alright for an Xbox live game made by a one-man team.

indie games trying to do 'souls game but 2d' and stuff like that are pure AIDS imo. ive seen a bunch of them and none of them are inspired and they copy too much from souls games to be interesting at all. they are fairly boring to me

it was called wayward souls. it promised a lot, and people in the DS1 thread said it was good, but the level generation sucked rear end (it was randomized and ugly) and the controls were heinous, so it was only like dark souls in the most superficial ways

that doesn't sound like dark souls at all honestly except the name

blade of mercy is really fun to use, but it's not quite effective on bosses due to the small per-hit damage. that's why I've got my buddy mr. tonitrus as my secondary

also I wish the walk to logarius wasn't so long. he's so hard, I'm afraid I'll never get to try out the chikage or the wheel :cry:

1) it has a 1.25x damage modifier on dodge attacks
2) there are two shortcuts that you can combine to make the run easier

you may be missing a shortcut. Logarius run can be about 30 seconds

starting at the lamp, I take the elevator, run down the hallway to the ladder previously hidden by a bookcase, climb up, go up the spiral stairs to roof, run along the rooftops until I get to the fight. did I miss anything?

It seems like a long run to me, maybe I'm just spoiled because I've been doing a lot of chalice runs

That's probably like 30-40 seconds if you time it. It feels longer because you're probably doing it a lot, I know I did. Martyr ruthless destroyed my first character but I haven't had too much trouble with him in later runs
