Taurus Demon. Hate. Hate.


Hate. Darksign.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Climb the ladder after he jumps in and do a plunging attack on his head for like a third of his health. If you want to cheese it at little do that then keep your distance and throw firebombs at him (You can buy them from the merchant for like 20 souls each about 15 will kill him). If you get between his legs most of his attacks can't hit you. If you have a good shield you can block every one of his attacks and have a bit of stamina left.

Edit: The biggest problem I have seen with people fighting Taurus is that they think they can't block his hits so they try all kinds of rolling on that little space and get creamed for most of their life. Also remember in Dark Souls armor got a huge buff so a tank build is viable.

[Haschel]

I feel like I just had that fight spoiled, but I was having trouble with it anyway so no big. I feel dumb not having thought of the plunge attack, despite having used it once before it feels like such a silly new mechanic that I don't expect to use it often. Good to know about the armor thing though, it was borderline useless in Demon Souls.

[Lumbajak]

If you're nocturnal like me then be warned that the PS3 version will be filled with low level characters armed to the teeth with all kinds of horrible things that will kill you faster than the regular enemies ever will.

Silly japanese.

Use spoilers man.  I'd be irritated if I didn't already kill him.

While starting class only matters for the very start of the game and if you wanna be a minmaxing powergamer, I have come to the conclusion that best start goes to the Bandit for that bloody axe and spider shield.

Spider Shield is almost a necessity for one area in the game, and the axe is probably the strongest starting weapon along with having decent animations (For PvE anyways, good luck against invisible japanese 8 foot lightning katanas)

This is of course not counting magic, and the fact that Depraved is still the manliest.

I'd guess overall easiest start goes to Cleric though simply for the Heal spell.

Worst mistake ever? Why, why did I take binoculars as a starting item, what is WRONG with me?

[Neonivek]

My brother likes the game

But he considers it cheaper, as in full of cheap deaths, then Demon souls for some reason.

Strangely so far I've found it a bit easier than Demon souls, but I'm probably not that far in yet.

[Haschel]

There are some cheap deaths in the game, but every one I've seen has been rather incredibly obvious if you stop and think about what you're doing. Other than that, monsters on the whole are much more lethal than in Demon's Souls in my opinion. Even more so considering the way the world is nothing but interconnecting webs allowing you to jump from one area to a completely new (and inevitably way harder) area. I'm enjoying that a lot though, the variety of locales and unique enemies is extremely satisfying to me.

Has anyone been to the sewers yet? I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon, that kind of environment freaks me the hell out.

Not much worse a decision than I made, I took the Tiny Being's Ring, which does not do what it advertizes. It claims to cause minor health regeneration. It actually gives you a very small health bar increase when worn. I still haven't found something to replace it with.

Strangely so far I've found it a bit easier than Demon souls, but I'm probably not that far in yet.

You aren't, trust me. There are around 15-20 secret achievements, which appear to be the storyline ones. After playing for 30 hours, I have two of them unlocked. Usually I've finished a game by this point. Worth way more than 60$ already, would buy again even though I'm nowhere near finished.

Has anyone been to the sewers yet? I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon, that kind of environment freaks me the hell out.

It's certainly one of the more disturbing environments, but I think you will find that you don't have much choice about going back there if you are where I think you are. That's a good thing though, the boss of the area and the area after it are both very interesting.

Spoiler: Although, if you want some tactical advice about the sewer behind this spoiler that you shouldn't open if you wish to not receive tactical advice... (click to show/hide)

Get some curse cures and watch out for holes in the floor and bug-eyed geckos.

Dang this game is fun.  I forgot that I was human and had someone invade while I was deep  (and completely lost) in the sewers.  I stabbed him a bunch of times with my stabby sword, took a few big hits and then rolled back and quickly drank a potion.  Then I ran at him stabbed him a few more times, rolled behind him and got a backstab, finishing him off.  Gained 6000 souls and managed to make it back to my campfire.

That was my first PVP experience in this game.    Ridiculously fun.

If the guy's name was Knight Kirk or some such then

he's actually an NPC event thing, you can get his armor by killing him in the three areas he shows up (one being the sewer). There's a bit more to it than just killing him, but I don't really feel like looking it up. I got the same encounter, but died shamefully to a surprise rat pack before I even saw him. How embarrassing!

Jesus Christ I loved Demons Souls... Would really like to get this
