2-handing weapons doubles it's STR scaling and halves it's STR requirement except for dragon weapons. It does nothing for DEX.

Also bad move killing the merchant. He's the only one that sells talismans that block flask healing, a must for invaders.

DAMN IT, Everyone I kill has some way of being useful!

[Lectorog]

I've never used them. Of course, I get killed a lot, so I may not have the best experiences to share. I've only seen them used once. I didn't understand why I couldn't heal, and was backstabbed while examining my apparently empty flask.

Are the weapons with STR scaling A worth it? The wiki tells me they are:
Demon's Greataxe
Club
Large Club
Dragon Bone Fist
And on that note, I think I'll try a build with fist weapons sometime soon. Sounds fun. Terrible build, but fun.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

If you want a difficult build, try the whip weapons. Worst in the game.

[Toady Two]

Dragon Bone Fist combined with Hidden Weapon can be used to cause hilarity in PvP.

The don't look too bad. Good DEX scaling.

[Cthulhu]

No parry or backstab is pretty crippling.

[Lectorog]

You can still parry to stun them, you just don't get a special riposte. You have to keep grinding away at your opponent.

Big spoilers!

I found a darkmoon ring while exploring the tomb of giants, remembering the name from the tomb in anor londo I equiped it at that location and lo and behold a hidden passage.
It seems to be a path leading to the tomb of lord Gwyn. A deity named Gwyndolin son of Gwyn commanded me to not go further and instead kneel before him.

Remembering the words from the serpent Kaathe I think his name was I was growing tired of the secrecy these deities have kept towards me, this guy demanding I kneel before him was the drop. I stormed inside to find out more wich apparently is so sacriligious as to warrant my death. I wooped ladyboy Gwyndlin's ass when I finally caught him. Serves this guy right!

Sick and tired of these deities I looked to Gwynavere next, cheeky giant woman pushing me into serving her ends. I also remember reading somewhere in an item description or some such that Gwyndolin was the last remaining deity in Anor Londo, so her being there didn't really make sense.

I struck her once and she immediatly vanished, causing Anor Londo to lose its radiance. It's quite dark in here now, and the firekeeper in brass armor didn't seem to happy to see me.

Did I just do something unspeakably evil here? I kind of feel bad about it but they did have it coming.

So, what makes you think a goddess could be felled in a single strike?

[lionstar]

I've been making a 50 faith solaire build and doing tons of jolly Co-Operation.

+10 sunlight straight sword isn't doing much for me without any extra points in STR or DEX and I refuse to make it divine.

So since I'm relying completely on great lightning spears and great chaos fireballs, invaders destroy me.
Any time I try to melee it ends up with them just trying to circle me. I may have spent 20 minutes trying to deal with one backstab fisher alone, because apparently winning is so important for them that using their separation crystal is just not an option.

And damn the Anor Londo snipers. Damn their magical giant arrows that make you gravitate toward the nearest bottomless pit regardless of where you were hit from.

[Rez]

I can never seem to summon anyone.

Uh, why?  It makes perfect sense.

One of the things I really like about the Dark Souls storyline is that it really is up to you to decide who you should trust and who is malevolent, benevolent or just selfish.

On my first playthrough I went on and listened to Frampt and Gwynevere like a dutiful little puppet. Only on my second run did I discover Kaathe. Despite being shrouded in darkness in the Abyss he turns out to be much more forthcoming in terms of information than the other serpent. The way he says it Linking the Flame seems like a futile act that only serves to perpetuate the worlds current state. The DLC area sheds some light on the nature of the Abyss and whether its denizens can be trusted or not.

[sluissa]

Yeah, things tend to be left very vague, and I personally think that's a good thing. It leaves a lot of room for interpretation and it feels even better that the developers have been very closed lip about their intentions. Although if the DLC reveals more I might change my opinion there, still as long as it's not just blatant spoilers, I'll probably still enjoy it.
