The greataxe is also in the game in the iron keep. It's somewhere past the smelter demon bonfire but if I remember correctly it requires 10 faith and 10 int to use.ShinyCharizard said:

I'll have to get past the Smelter Demon first though lol. That bastard is giving me a lot of trouble.BraveSirRobin said:
Ah fantastic. That is pretty much exactly where I am at the moment.Kopikatsu said:
You think Smelter Demon is bad now, try fighting him as a Pyromancer. </3ShinyCharizard said:
I have a spell, Chaos Flame, that killed Old Dragonslayer with a single cast. Barely even scuffs Smelter's armor.
He seems resistant to magic and fire both, considering my melee character did plenty of damage with just a greatsword.
Haha I can imagine how well that would go.Kopikatsu said:
My problem is that I cant damage him enough (using the Heide Knight Sword +7), and his flame attacks at half health fuck me up completely.
I'll need to find a shield with good phys and fire resistance.
Awesome thank you.Kopikatsu said:
With that shield and a decent weapon I should actually stand a chance.
1) Yes, there are hints to Lordran all over the place almost from the get-go. A certain area is even speculated to be Anor Londo. Or what is left of it after hundreds of years of near abandonment.Johnny Novgorod said:
2) Well, to get the most out of all the little pieces and nods, you should probably get Dark Souls first. That being said, you could probably just dive right ind. But you would miss out on the best game released pre-Darks Souls 2.
Yeah I'm having trouble Fighting the boss battle Duke dear Freja (The giant spider) I spend too much time trying to dodge out the way of the little spiders before it wipes me out, any tips?
Also where is this smelter Demon? Pretty sure I haven't fought it yet people mention it like its an early to mid game boss.

For Freja she has a rather large blindspot directly on her side between her body and her legs. You can hang out there pretty safely until you get an opening after you take out the smaller spiders. I'd recommend being able to 1 shot the smaller spiders to get them out quickly, that shouldn't take much more than a +6 weapon.Burchy22 said:
Smelter demon is in the Iron Keep along the Huntsman's Copse path. If you haven't found that path yet try exhausting the dialogue with the miracle girl in Heide's Tower of Flame.
Oh man I'm so happy that everyone is helping each other out I was just hoping to share some of my info I've collected but everyone else is contributing. I love our community guys. Since most of all questions so far have been answered I'll just throw some random info out there; Havel's armor and greatshield are in the game it's behind a forgotten door and you get the key from two giants in the Black Gulch. To find said giants you need to walk along the cliffside until you see a ledge to drop down to where a forgotten door is and another ledge even lower with the giants. You have to kill them for the key. Havel's set is behind a door in the Gutter. Hopefully that helps someone if anyone needs clarification I can try to be specific or some other kind soul will help
My strategy for any boss I have trouble with is more summons. Other than that just try to wipe out the little ones and stay near her in a strategy akin to fighting QuelaagBurchy22 said:
Smelter Demon is in Iron Keep. Beat Dragonrider talk to priestess at next bonfire after him make sure to exhaust dialogue from her and she'll move to Majula where that contraption you can't move is. Pay her to move it or if you're really strong kill her for the key and that path that is opened is Huntsman's Copse. Just progress regularly from there. The two bosses there are the chariot and skeleton lords. You can join the Brotherhood of Blood if you beat the chariot and Harvest Valley is past the Skeleton Lords and past that is Iron keep
I dual wield Greatswords personally they're A scaling in strength and +10 they just destroy shit. The ultra-greatsword you get from Smelter Demon's soul is badass and has like a fire explosion R2ShinyCharizard said:
What is that big castle across the rickety bridge in Huntman's Copse? and at the bottom of the well, is that the area were it's all darkness like tomb of the giants?
Probably the undead purgatory you're looking atPrimitiveJudge said:
The gutter is down that well you need the ring from Shalquoir to be able to survive the jumps from plank to plank
The Gutters are probably closer in form to Blightown then Tomb of the Giants. Though they aren't laggy, and the enemies are almost ludicrously simple (barring occasional surprise running-up explodey ones scattered about). Most of the threat in there (and in Black Gulch) is getting poison spammed by off-camera spitting statues.
So that red phantom at the bridge guarding the gate to the undead purgatory with the greatsword and greatshield... Does anyone know how to get his armor and what it's called?
I haven't got the game itself but I have played (however briefly) Dark Souls and have two very important questions:
1. Is Dark Souls 2 liable to infuriate me so much that I trade it back in on the day I get it, a'la my experience with its predecessor?
2. Are there full-face helmets?
I know the first question paints me in the wrong light for this game but I am genuinely interested in giving the universe a proper chance and have heard that the second Souls is more accessible.
