Dark Souls

That is awesome; congratulations on taking out three guys by your lonesome! I want to be that skilled one day; I usually die when I get invaded, and if there are two people when I invade, I may get one of them, but never both. I am not sure if they do anything to tell you, but I think the first third stage you clear should be World 2's. Doing so will get rid of those pesky barriers in other worlds that may hinder progress. My only advice for any and all bosses in Demon's Souls is to stay mobile. Being a huge slow tank may work with general enemies and other players, but being able to sprint and roll is a gift no one should deny.

I have been playing my initial guy, who turns out to be SL 70 or so. Continued my travels in Anor Londo and it has paid off a fair bit. Solaire helped get me pass one boss fight, and I shrugged off an offer and walked pass an archway I was told not to. I learned not to fear Silver Knights, and am generally ruining the lives of all the enemies I encounter. I have been careful with reversing my hollowing because it seems I upset...a few people. All in all, though, I think I am a better player for having tried out a few different builds before going back to my initial tank. Great Soul Arrow has been strangely a boon to my PvP fights; most people think wielding my Catching Pole in two hands means I only do lumbering melee. With my Oolacile Catalyst and 16 INT, an extra 80~ damage helps seal the deal if people try to run or are debating getting closer. I like missing with my first melee strike; it is a vertical swing, so I use it early, showing an opening, and then the second, horizontal sweep I lock on for, it connects, and the third strike hits them since they are a little staggered.

Edit: Ha ha, I forgot: Oolacile Catalyst does not adjust with INT. My 16 INT is for naught.
