Update on my adventure:
Bought 30 firebombs from Murphy in Undead Burg.
Killed Moonlight Butterfly. Used a shield, sadly.
Killed Havel.
Got cocky, tried to kill the Hydra, hilarity ensued.

[sluissa]

Summoned a guy the other day to help me with the Hydra. After that we ran back up and were heading to the butterfly, but a plant started eating his face, and then spit him out inside of a rock. He couldn't get out so I was forced to separation crystal him.

[Jelle]

Aw but the hydra is so easy.
Seriously once you get close it's easy sailing, that thing cannot aim if its life depended on it. Once it's down a head or two it gets even easier.


Well I'm stumped on how to continue lvling.
I'm on lv 123 now, got a vitality of 50 so subsequent levels only add a measly 8 health. 40 endurance so raising that only increases my equip load wich is in a pretty good spot.
I'm not using miracles or magic, only a pyromancy here and there so my attunement is at 10. Strength I have at 50 and seems to still add a fair amount of damage on leveling up.
Then there's resistance on 15 but apparently that's useless. 
What should I raise?

[Facekillz058]

My unprofessional opinion says don't raise anything. I read somewhere that SL 120 is pretty good for multplayer.

I'd agree, don't level up.

Also, this particular character was an almost pure caster character. My most powerful weapon was a dagger... and the hydra is hard as hell to kill with projectiles you can't aim manually.

As far as I know, resistance is never, ever good to level up, for any reason.

Also holy shit, I am really regretting not taking the master key.  I wanted to do a real playthrough, with no twinking or sequence breaking or any of that, but god damn, Blighttown is fucked up.  If I can just get to the swamp it won't be that bad.

Try the back entrance to Blighttown. It is much closer to the swamp and requires no sequence breaking.

You're going to be assaulted by drakes, though.

[majikero]

You need the master key to enter Valley of the Drakes from the start on New Londo. That's the easier way in that requires the key. I think you can buy the master key from Domas once he moves to the aqueduct.

The other way into Valley of the Drakes is through New Londo once the water drains away.

[sluissa]

There's a third way into the valley.

Through the bottom of darkroot garden.

This. So very much of this. The back way has far less of the bottomless pit shenanigans that plague upper Blighttown and most of the blowgunners are easily reached from that direction. You miss a bit of loot that way, but I don't think there's anything really important in the upper walks. It's still the most taxing area I've played thus far, but it's at least playable that way.

[majikero]

The only note worthy loot there is the iaito.

The elevator from darkrook is something I can't remember if you need to activate it from the bottom in the valley or the top in darkroot.

[sluissa]

Power Within pyromancy too. It's nifty if you're building up to use it correctly.

I don't believe it matters which side you come from on that elevator. It's active already. A lever pull just brings it up or down to you if it's not there.

[Facekillz058]

This isn't really recent, but for the sake of keeping the thread alive, this happened to me on my Divine Claymore character:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Killed the Moonlight Butterfly after about two tries, got the Divine Ember, and then I fell down the stairs going down the tower...

[Rez]

haha.  Even when you're fighting well, you'll still fall off of edges sometimes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Got lightning spear on a sunbro character at level 20.  Oh my goodness is that spell insanely good this early.  I helped someone fight the gargoyles with him and I think it took 5 hits to kill the first one.

I need to get better at using the praise the sun gesture at the end of the bossfights.

[Jelle]

See I don't get this hate about blighttown, never even fell off personally.

It makes me wonder, have none of you ever set foot in the tomb of giants? That place frightens and frusrates me like no other.
What's that,  you don't see where you're going; oh don't worry you're only running into a giant skeleton.
Oh what's that you dodged; you just jumped right off the ledge you failed to see.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Then you finally get the skull lantern to light a path but you're effectively running around either a shield or a weapon short or something along those lines and still can't see very far.

Definatly my most horrifying experience in the game, made blighttown look like a cakewalk! Boss wasn't easy either.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

There are other light sources you can use.

Anyway, what's everyone's favorite ember? I'm big on Chaos, the humanity scaling is fragile but powerful.
