A bit late for a trailer now, isn't it? ._o
Oh well. Awesome game. A bit tempted to try that assassin.

And yet, it hates you. And me. And everything that has ever dared touch a gaming controller.

This trailer makes the game look terrifying.

It is. Seriously, sometimes it goes into horror territory, just because of how good the art design is, and how very, very vulnerable you feel. Even as a huge knight with plate armour, a big sheild, and a massive sword that you wield like you were born with it, you feel at every point like you are a few seconds and one bad move away from certain death.

At the moment, I have a dilemma. Unless I am going the wrong way entirely (wouldn't be the first time, I spent an age attempting to slay those damn skeletons), I have a choice between that massive hydra at the end of the trailer who fires blasts of death that make it difficult to impossible to get close to it, and some smaller, electricity firing dragons, who seem to take as much damage from my sword as they do from a stiff breeze.

Either way, I'm screwed. I'm always screwed.

Think my favorite part of that trailer is that it flashes to a new scene after the player gets hit every time. Also no visible life bars to show that your pretty much dieing after every hit.

Assassin did look pretty sweet there but don't see short range claws doing much other than adding frustration.

You'd be surprised, some of the fist weapons are much, much, much better than you'd expect. High stability for some reason o_O

Why would you want stability on your weapon? If you are going to block, you want a shield.

Let's see, there's no Hydra that shoots fire, only water, so either it's not a hydra, or you're mistaking fire for water.....Either way, both hydras in the game are optional (Hydras only reside in water BTW, just in case you're mistaking something for a hydra)

Now, about the drakes, if I assume correctly you must be in Drake Valley, and I'll assume you got there through the Darkroot area, try traversing the cliffs to the left after going down the lift, you'll find a cave entrance to Blight-town there, or if you have the master key, a much easier option is to enter the OTHER side of drake valley from the New Londo Ruins and from that side you can enter Blight-town without fighting any drakes (the door in New Londo to Drake Valley is near the elevator, up some stairs, if you run into ghosts, you've gone too far)

GOOD LUCK!!!

I just beat the game yesterday and am enthusiastically tackling New Game+ One last tip, if you're a melee character, invest in a couple attunement slots and get some pyromancy, even with my pitiful 9 in intelligence, my pyromancies just shred straight through almost all bosses.

I guess he said that the hydra "fires" blasts of water, he didn't say it breathes fire.

LOL, that should be the tagline for the game!

Yeah, and, if you didn't beat the hydra, forget about the blue electric drakes. I've killed the hydra some time ago and the drakes are still a major pain in the ass (maybe if I could find a decent wooden shield...).

See, i've been trying to get attunements for a while, and I can neither find or seem to buy any. I have one slot, so I could equip it...How do they work anyway?

THanks for telling me the way forward. Although, the things I've heard about blighttown...yep. I'm still screwed.

I said neither. It fires death blasts, that's all I figured out.

Funny, you don't need that much intellect to scale your pyromancy with anyway. You upgrade your pyromancy flame for that :3

Beat the game once already, doing the achievement runs now. The games becomes.. less challenging once you figure out how to tackle things. The hydra for example, has a very, very easy trick to it. But Imma not spoil that :p

Happy hunting

well that trailer was a load of crap, seeing as the "classes" in this game mean nothing, i mean they showed a pyromancer at the beginning using skills you cant get till much later on. in fact its one of my main grips with the game, it takes too long to get access to anything, and by the time you do your normally already set in your ways, still a fun game tho.

I just rang the second bell, killed some giant demon in hell then went back into a gate palace that's full of giant lizards and can no longer advance :(
I love this game but it hates me SO much
the assassin looks sweet as hell but dunno about not having a shield

As much as I love this game and played the crap out of Demon's Souls, Im burned out. Im at the fight in Anor Londo where you fight the big fat guy and the small fast guy and cant beat them. I havent picked the game back up in over a week.

Yep, you're lost the same way i was. You need to go to blight town. I actually didnt mind it that much but you MUST go stock up on some purple moss if you dont already have a bunch from the woods. Or was it the depths first? If you dont have a master key to open the shortcut to blight town from new londo ruins then you'll need to go through the depths. You get there by using the basement key you picked up and opening the gatehouse thats stands before the bridge with the big red dragon that fries you after the undead burg boss.

That doesn't make a lot of sense now, but meh.

Essentially every two points put in the "attunement" stat when you level up, gets you one attunement slot (spell slot)

That holds true for at least the first 3 slots, after that I'm not sure if it takes more, I haven't invested any further than that into attunement.

Yeah, it definitely becomes easier once you know the tricks, although I still can't kill that fucking red dragon on the bridge without using a glitch I stumbled upon my first playthrough

You got this. I know for a fact you can beat all 4 in under an hour. I did it today in fact.

Let me know how your fight with the bed of chaos goes. I love hearing about/watching people fight him.

PS: To the guy talking about attunement it goes 10, 12, 14, 16, 19, and keeps scaling.
