Exact same.
Scimitar carried me through the game.

Doing my first playthrough. Finished 1-1 and 1-2. Barely made it through 2-1 and 2-2. 3-1 was easier; now I'm stuck at artificial difficulty gargoyle that doesn't give me time to recover and counter attack.

Trying a FAI build, but can't find any spells besides heal and those 3 you can get from that guy in the Nexus.
Also, I can't find materials to upgrade my weapon to divine. Is there an upgrade path that scales with faith in Demon's Souls? And when do I get it?

Using a bastard sword and getting raped.

I actually finished this game last week and was thinking of playing dark souls but thought against it, in my opinion this experience was flawless and great but its a once in a lifetime concept, everything else is just demon's souls: electric boogaloo

>>258741661
Shit, 3-1 is what i meant

>>258741351
Yes. The flying version of Flamelurker. I'm almost checking the wiki for exploits against it.

>>258738673

>Favorite Boss

The False King was definitely the most challenging. Can't say which boss I actually enjoyed fighting the most, though.

>Favorite Level

The Shrine of Storms.

>Favorite NPC

Stockpile Thomas.

>Favorite Weapon

Ended up using the Flamberge throughout most of the game.

There is one exploit you could do. But it's really casual. Shoot arrows at the first maneater at the corner of the fog and then that leaves you just one to fight.

Demons souls is a boring, unfinished, uninspired kings field derivative with a less imaginative director who didn't really know what he was doing.

Dark souls was somewhat more realised and interesting, but still lacked focus and was generally uninteresting due to a huge rushed schedule.

Dark souls 2 is a polished, quality game that bought back core values of what makes games like this truly special, and I for one congratulate the team and Naotoshi Zin on accomplishing that.

I just started playing it
I killed the first slime boss thing

Just one question, how do you level up in this game? I only played DaS so I'm more accustomed to the bonfires and stuff but there's only Archestones in DeS

>>258742217
Can't you also agro the first one and attack him through the fog gate?

>>258742225
Trying too hard.

s-someone playing in the EU?

>>258742225
nice copypasta

>>258742326
Yes that's what I meant. My wording on my part.

I wouldn't mind dark souls 2 that much if they just kept the somewhat retarded, yet functional controls from DS1

I'm having to slowly learn all the little imperfections of the PC port so I don't inexplicably fail to attack or block

>>258742217
So, there are more than one. Great. I can't even bring the first to 50%.
And I don't have dex for bows.

>>258742519
Bad*
What's wrong with me today?

>>258742253

You'll need to talk to the Maiden in Black. You'll still be using souls to level up.

So I'm working my way through the levels, and I've completed all of the archstones except Boletaria Palace. Why did the music in the Nexus change to creepy church organs?

>>258742651
Go to 4-1 and and 5-1 and level for a bit.

>>258742854

That'll happen after you slay three arch demons.

Go up to the area around the fire. Roll around there. They attack slowly as fuck.

Maneater isn't that tough. You just gotta know what you're doing.

If you want help (and are in the US) I'll put my summon sign for you. I have a level 40ish character that's pretty damn powerful.

if it counts as a boss, then the old king who wears the green armor.

otherwise the false king allant. i don't know why people complain about fighting "humanoid knight" bosses, they're my favorite

>Favorite Level
Either Shrine of Storms or Tower of Latria. Both were executed extremely well and I enjoy going through them. Only downside to Latria is Rydell's yelling, which is incredibly annoying.

Cannot decide between Stockpile Thomas, Biorr, Yuria, and Ostrava. They're all amazing.

It's Fanart made by guy called Vanipo. It supposedly presents fictional boss invasion and co-op fight in a nexus (as far as I know).

I only liked him for his armor, though I felt the decoration on his helm was too big for any sense.

I don't know yet, I've only killed 1-1, 1-2, 2-1 and the Tutorial boss in 4-1.

I thoroughly enjoy 4-1, despite being really shit at the game and being far too low for that area. Those skeletons are fun.
>Favorite NPC
I don't know, not far enough into the game. Possibly Maiden or Executioner Miralda, because she creeps me out.
>Favorite Weapon
Bows are fun. Soul Arrow is overpowered and makes playing Royalty take away the 'edge' of the game.

Also for some reason the Grey Demon's Soul is lost to me on my highest level character and I'm thinking of starting over completely. If I want to get the most trophies out of a playthrough, should I?

>>258748114
Dragonsword. I found it by accident trying to get to Flamelurker. It's so much fun.

Where my Northern Regalia bros at?
Favorite boss probably Old Monk or Astrea.
