Holy crap - killed a phantom during one of my invasions in the forest and got two million souls. What kind of crazy level, I don't even-
Oh well... a quick jump from level 70 to 100-something for my new character. Awesomesauce.

The most I've seen is like 800k souls at once.
God damn, I wish I could PvP. xD
I'm playing this for the first time. Painful isn't exactly the right word. Soul-crushing perhaps. I'm trying not to look at any guides or anything, but man...
Apparently I need to kill an arch-demon to keep going in Boletaria, which I guess means I need to move on to Stonefang Tunnel and beat it, and then come back to Boletaria. But Flamelurker is kicking my ass. He basically one-shots me, which means I can't let him hit me at all, even with the purple shield thingy that has the best flame resistance I can find, and even with the flame resistance ring. It was impossible to get away from him in my heavy armor, so I'm basically naked. My +7 Mace does basically no damage to him at all. I tried using the Thief Ring and sneaking up on him, but that only let me get in like 1 hit and then I'd have to run like mad, and he'd usually manage to get me, but it did allow me to get him down further than any other attempt. I'm sure I'm probably missing something crucial, but I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. It's not like this game lays anything out for you. I tried different weapons (slashing/piercing/etc.) and nothing seemed to do any better than the Mace. I'm trying to level a Crushing Battleaxe or w/e, b/c it's fully STR based if I'm understanding these weapon stats correctly, but I don't remember where I found the greystones to level it up (only had enough to get it to lvl 2).
So anyway, not asking for advice really, just ranting/whining. lol
I was enjoying the game up until this boss, for whatever it's worth.
I'm no expert on Demon's Souls, but if you get stuck on the Flamelurker, I'd suggest giving the first levels of the Tower of Latria or Shrine of Storms a shot (assuming you haven't beat those yet). They should be manageable. Heck even the first level of the Valley of Defilement might be manageable. I should play this game again.Quote:

water veil, and thiefs ring help, cause he forgets you're there if you get far enough away. otherwise, roll away if both his hands go up cause he's doing the big area wide fireball. try to stay behind him i guess? i only managed to melee him properly once. he's a huge dick.
I totally glitched Flamelurker and hid behind a giant log(?) to the left of his entrance. He spent most of the fight unable to get passed it, though once he finally did I freaked out and lucked into finishing him off in melee. He's easily one of the harder bosses in Demon's Souls for a first timer.
I havent even played demons souls and i know flamelurker is a prick. As said previously i would really recommend going somewhere else for now. You can always come back later.
Tips for defeating Flamelurker:
Step One: stop playing Demon's Souls.
Step Two: play Dark Souls instead. :D
I'm just no good at trolling.
Or maybe I'm too good at it. Like ahead of my time or something.
You're a pioneer, my friend.
But seriously, play Dark Souls.
I have it actually. Just haven't played it. Well, not enough to get into a discussion about it here.
Seriously? Demons souls is a perfectly fantastic game. Keep playing demons souls unless you REALLY want a break from it.
I thought the joke was that he's not playing either.
