holy shit I'm fucking scaredholy lord I love this game
>>275658851
First time down there sure was spooky.jump R2 the dragons ass to pass without having to go down there
I knew you were talking about this game before your pic loaded.
If that's a screenshot from your current game OP, you really should put some more points on endurance if you're gonna be using a sword like that, and I recommend using it 2 handed or you'll be too vulnerable after you swing it.

but I need faith
>>275661093
FAITH?
Holy shit dude, what are you trying to do? You think faith will kill anything ever?
Boost your vitality and endurance, and your strength, and get that sword and armour upgraded to fuck with all the titanite you can find.
And get that door in the Darkroot Garden open with the Crest of Artorias or whatever it's called. It's 40,000 souls but well worth it because you can farm the fuckers inside for way more souls and get some proper stats and gear.
You've probably already done that but if you haven't, that's my advice. Good luck with that faith build, seriously. You're braver than I.

P.S.
(MINOR SPOILER)
There's a bonfire through a destructible wall just to the left of that Darkroot Garden door.
That should save you the 15 hours I spent going through that garden killing trees 1200 times.

what's wrong, I got some pretty good miracles, when some guy invaded me I killed him no problem
Emit force or something

not OP but I was thinking of doing a str/faith run
is faith shit like in 2? l thought magic was better in the first one
>>275662476
faith is easy mode you dummy!
>>275658851
that's DaS 1? why don't I recognize that area? is it in the Depths?

>>275661093
if you're doing a faith build it would be best to level up endurance, strength and faith equally
eventually you'll get some wicked faith spells but like the other guy said, endurance is invaluable in every class because it allows you to move/dodge swiftly and attack more+faster
>>275662476
emit force is garbage, unless you're going full retard with WoG you should only have 28 faith. 30 if you intendt to use SLB or DMB
>>275662573
but I made a cleric because whatever, it looked cool with that mace
I put points on str and faith, some on health and endurance too
>>275662613
it's in the painted world under the well
dark souls is seriously the best horror game out there before you have masted the gameplay. and memorize enemy locations.
>>275658851
>having WotG
>ever being scared
Don't be scared, the gods have your back (and your front, and both of your sides).
>>275658851
Where is that?
>>275662730
I was just fucking with you, OP, play the game the way you want to play, have fun, die, try another classes, git gud
>>275662714
>not upgrading armor
jesus christ what a casual

> you will never play Dark Souls for the first time again
>you will never have the blast OP's having right now again
goddamn
>>275662858
It's the dungeon with wheel skeletons. OP's damn right to be scared.
>>275662519
faith is terrible in my experience, it just doesn't have enough combat variety, it's all wotg and buffs
magic is better
>>275658851
You have the claymore, my son, mountains will crumble before you.
>>275662519
No, Faith is still quite viable in DaS1 because they didn't nerf lightning miracles into oblivion.
>>275662714
What?
I wouldn't spend a unique soul on it but I've farmed the souls to buy titanite from that blacksmith near the Undead Parish and get him to boost my armour.
I do experiment with the pretty costumes sometimes but I need proper try-hard armour for the tough baddies.
Elite Knight if you're wondering. Yeah the full set, you got a problem with that too?
>>275663165
I haven't played Dark Souls 2 yet, so all those feels are waiting to be had
>>275658851
The game is shit.
So did this shit get migrated to Steam yet?
>>275662476
Play the game how ever you like bro, especially the first time.
That being said, the best thing about a faith build is darkmoon blade, the best weapon buff in the game, wich has a better payoff using very fast weapons, like ricards rapier R2.
I had a str/faith thing on my first build tho, it was fun, just not the most efficient.
>>275662858
pretty sure its the skelly rape basement in the painted world
>>275658851
This game is pretty sickdark
>>275663373
sadly there aren't any of those great feels in DaS2 since you already git gud at the first and nothing holds tension anymore
the only truly great area for me was the ash DLC
>>275658851
>dsfix set up properly
>claymore
>non retard armor
You're okay.
>make long-ish post giving some helpful advice
>gets dropped once again
Get your shit together moot.
Two-hand it, grass crest shield on your back, Darkmoon blade +2, do it.
>>275663373
dont want to burst your bubble anon but sadly its not the same
>>275663431
No, why? I don't know.

Sadly DaS2 is so casual the only boss or are that may give you some kind of trouble are the Flexible Sentries and maybe... I don't know, all the areas were easy to be honest. There's a campfire every 10m for fucks sake.
Fuck you FROM.
>>275663431
Still hasn't happened yet.
I bought it the day they announced it, October 26th or so, and still haven't played it yet because waiting for steam migration.
>>275658851
Thought I would hat dark souls because everyone seems to like it, give it a try and besides the terrible engine its a fucking fantastic games.
Also OP don't forget to look up
this is my build until now. I think I'll wait to level up, as I want to help people to kill the area boss.
don't spoil, but is it hard?
i was fed up with DaS 2 too after my first playthorugh.
The feeling of exploring the area's, and the tension. That huge feeling of relief when you had a minute to breathe..Hold me /v/

>>275662519
Sorcery is just way stronger offensively, and a sorcerer can still muster the stats to slap on a magic enchanted claymore for trash enemies.
There's nothing really wrong with Faith for pve since the extra healing can be useful along with that homeward bone-like spell. I just wouldn't invest heavily into it expecting it to do damage.
>>275664052
Painted World's boss is...optional, so there'll be even fewer people looking for help to beat it. Maybe it'll be more active after the migration, but I don't think you'll be finding too many people to help, man.
Hey guys playing some DeS, still pretty new. Rolled a new character, a mage. Put 18 into magic. How high is beneficial? Also what other stats should invest into/weapon combos should I be using?
>>275664052
>faith: 30
30 points, 30 fucking points, 30 POINTS OP, MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!!!

Guys I think I got him killed when I was drunk. I also can't find that guy in the gold armour and crown that I freed, he sits at the firelink shrine. I vaguely remember getting mad at him. I bought some advice and didn't like it. I think I killed him too.
How badly did I fuck up? At least I killed the roof gargoyles right? And why am I so much better at this game when I'm drunk?
>>275658851
Bro, get a good stability shield, that area is going to be a pain with that thing on your arm. Unless you godlike at rolling, but even then, your stamina is too low man. Upgrade str/faith/end to 40 evenly, throw some hp every once in a while. Also, if you are going full strength and no DEX, get a hammer that scales scales better, switch to a weapon that doesn´t share scaling with dex as soon as you find one and upgrade.
>>275663942
Its not that DaS2 is casual. It's that you're used to the controls so now any game that has similar gameplay will be easy.
>>275663165
yeah, now all of my runs are like speedruns that only last a few hours until I get to sl120, i would feel pretty bad if pvp wasn't so good
>>275664052
Painted World right?
It's so fucking easy, the bossliterally gives you the option to leave and not fight it.
But you won't do that, right?
>>275664591
30 is what I've put into the split faith build I'm using: let's me use enough buffs and spells without eating too far into stat distribution. DMB, great heal, etc
>>275664621
>Guys I think I got him killed when I was drunk.
Last time I played DaS1 drunk I dropped all my items on the floor just like gretel & hansel I don't fucking know waht I was trying to do
I lost everything, NG + 7, never play this game when you're drunk
>>275664052
>erasing your character name
Fucking why?
>>275665128
Granted, but assuming you chose to fight, that boss was a major pain in the ass before you figured out the trick.
