Dark Souls

[Pete for President]

I still haven't had the opportunity to trade with any members of Eyes on Final Fantasy yet. I am currently in New Game+ and I am SL75.

Can't help you man, I'm on PS3...

I've been experimenting with PvP some more. I unlocked the LAST FEW AREA'S SPOILERSKiln at level 60, which wasn't too hard because I already beat the Four Kings and Seath at about level 30-37. With the Crown of Dusk, Bellowing Dragon Crest Ring, Logan's Catalyst and 44 Intelligence to fire those Crystal Soul Spears gravelord Nito fell quickly, as well as all the bosses in Demon Ruins/Lost Izalith. For some reason I feel like the latter two area's don't really fit the game too well. Demon Ruins is supposed to be the hell-ish area, but it feels unimaginative compared to the rest of the world. Lost Izalith is pretty much just confusion all around, with weak and out of place enemies. The Bed of Chaos may have been a cool concept for a boss battle, but it's mechanic doesn't really fit the game too well either I think.

Anyway, I'm starting to notice some flaws in PvP. Especially the matchmaking just seems off a lot of the time (does the Dragon Eye even work? And the Darkmoon summoning ring?). Laggy backstabs certainly don't help either. I also have no idea how to best the Havel Set + Black Knight Axe combo, as it's resistance is ridiculous.

I am getting better at PvP nonetheless; yesterday I almost scored my first kill using melee only. For a glass cannon (44 Int, 16 Vit, Crown of Dusk + Sorcerer Set +9) I find fighting using melee only really difficult. I usually only score kills with (Crystal) Souls Spear, sometimes relying on ambushing the enemy with Chameleon for an extra edge. Once it hits, it's massive. It got a 1400+ hit on a player once.

I switched to being a Darkmoon for a change and to get the rewards before challenging Gwyndolin. 4 Souvenirs of Reprisal left...
