I am. Lol. I killed the twin gargoyles already. And I went to the merchant. But I just didnt have enough souls to buy a purging stone
The gaping dragon Is in the depths. And the only way to open the depths is to get the key from killing the capre demon cause I didn't choose the master key as my gift. Lol I think that's right?

Alright so you're at the point to buy them, that's good. Yeah I was talking about the spoiler thing, lol.
Yeah lol. That stupid vagina dragon. The only thing Im having a hard time on is when he jumps up and flops down. He always comes down right on me

This Thread exits ? LOL I have beaten this game on NG+7 I love this but I died with 2 hits.
The memories where the enemies huged me and banged me after that.

Faith 60 + Sunlight Blade + Great Club = FTW. really good against 4 kings.



Ryu you should buy a master key from the mechant to blight town in firelink shrine ( Boss gaping Dragon )
if you havent taken it at the beginning !

By the way, what's a good weight load percentage to stay under? I've been trying to stay under 70% as I notice anything higher really slugs down my roll. But should I be aiming for even lower?
From personal testing I found that unlike DS1 70.0% is the number to stay under as there are really only two levels of weight load (DS1 had 3 weight classes 25.0% and below, between 25.1% and 60.0%, and above 60.1%). I didn't notice any difference between 0% and 70.0% movement or rolling. Once you get 70.1% or higher then you get nailed with the overloaded stuff.

I can be a source of help/info too, I mostly am into the lore behind the games because I'm bad at PVP thanks to always having shit connections with foes (you are way over there but smacking the crap out of me while I'm way over here) but I know some neat tricks for PVE and funny shit to do with PVP (btw Nameless I did the cosplay thing the other day as Shiva. I could not stop laughing at the confusion).

Cool.
I can already use Havel's full armor set + Havel's Shield + my Bastard Sword +10 while udner 70%, so I guess I can finally stop upgrading Vitality xD

And yeah, I don't give a damn about PvP.

In other news, I'm not stuck per-se, but I am irritated with this latest encounter.

Shrine of Amana. These butt-fucking spellcasters are way out in the open where there's no cover, and when I approach them, I'm assaulted by a bunch of those water skelks and the pushover pikemen. I could handle all this if I wasn't moving as snail-speed due to the water. I'm a melee-only class. Any tips?

For the water demons you just stay away from water in general (I know that sounds stupid). As long as you didn't kill the singer in the first house they should be docile until you approach them but they are slow as hell (don't kill the singer, they get so much faster when she isn't singing). You'll know where they are by looking for golden hazes around them (provided you have not killed the singer). Did I mention how important it is to not kill the singer?
As for the casters, just bob and weave. Rolling through those spells is odd, you will often still be damaged even if you time rolling right. It's right before the second bonfire in the area that is a real bitch because you have to deal with a couple melee guys (who hurt a lot) and three or four of the casters at the same time. You play Leon, use the environment! With the melee guys you just poke them with arrows and make them come to you, the casters generally won't move at all unless you smack them around. Oh, and equip a good mgic defense shield for the spells and block them, I don't know Havel's Shield Magic Defense off the top of my head but blocking them is better than nothing.

Regarding your equip spoiler.
Full Havel's and you are at the Shrine. What is your damn Soul Level? Good lord.
Respecced recently for casting. I can still wear heavy armor as a caster having only put points into Faith, Int, Attunement, and one point in strength so I can use my Drangleic Shield (yay 100%physical block). Third Dragon Ring is a very nice ring (basically the Ring of Favor from DS2) I love being a tanky caster with the capability to still deal serious physical damage with a 1 hander.

Ugh, finally beat this part and reached another bonfire. Thank God. So tired of running through that long, sluggish water path over and over again, haha.

Haha I've been using the Silver Serpent Covetous Ring +1 ever since I got it near the beginning of the game, and haven't taken it off since. It really helps to wear it when you fight the big soul bosses, as the bonus souls you get help a lot. I also rarely lose souls that I don't recover (probably a total of about 50,000 altogether, among all deaths). But yeah, I'm pretty sure that I'm an absurdly high level for where I am in the game, but to be fair, I've poured almost all of my points into Vitality.
I'm currently a little over level 150

I didn't really spend that long in it, but my time there was no fun. If I do decide to do a NG+, I'm not looking forward to going through it again.

Loving blighttown btw, poison poison poison..........
They have a spiritual successor in DS2 that's even more poisony and ridiculous.
It also sucks.

The spiritual successor to blighttown in DS2 is a joke. Hell, you can run through the gulch in a minute.

Shrine of Amana was not really an issue since my dex/faith build always had a bow.
