Never died to him though, so I'm not 100% sure. He's not hard as long as you can dodge. (His main-hand weapon damages you through your shield.(Shotel class weapon)) ah the woes of being overlvled all the time : p
First time I ever fought him I was in the 50-65 range fyi. :3

Then a thrown controller in Anal Rodeo.
Good times....

I was in the undead asylum for so long that I thought when I beat it I was half way done with the game =_=
This video satisfyingly sums up all of our collective anger about Dark Souls.

The giant skeleton "dogs" in Tomb of the Giants still scare the hell out of me. Even with the Sunglight Maggot lighting my way.

black knight halberd only!
I rode this ship for my first playthrough once I got it, which was semi early, and feel in love with it, until my 2nd(current) playthrough when I heard about the Great Scythe, and never looked back. I got it the 1st playthrough but never looked at it, until I seen a video on youtube about it.
Thinking of making a fire one, once I get it again.

Still going to be Darkroot Garden since you can't actually effectively farm places like Tomb of the Giants yet.
Just designed a build for level 4 which can one shot even lvl 700's easily.
Can't wait to gear this up yayay
I'm like level 460 now btw. :3 Was in Sif's forest and got dual invaded by the Forest Hunter covenant. They gave me many many souls. 1900 HP now, and I forget my resistances...can't check at work. Managed to riposte one of them with my Darkmoon bladed Demon's Greataxe +15. Then killed the other one with 2 Dark Beads, a Pursuers, and a Wrath of the Gods.

damn... +4 drakes still beats my +10 claymore, only by 30dmg, I'm sure with a few dex that would change pretty quickly D:
edit- when do i run into the blacksmith that lets me +15? and can you guys explain how elemental properties work on weapons?
is it worth doing the fire or lightning route?
edit2- also; thoughts on balder side sword? i hear it's good upgraded, i equipped it to mess around with it and i really dig the attacks/quickness D: I tend to be a shield *** so it goes really well with my playstyle atm D:
though i am slowly learning to love the claymore the more i play around with it lol

1. There is a bonfire near the boss of Sen's fortress, near the top.
2. If you want Claymore's damage to rise, invest points into strength rather than dex. It scales better with strength.
3. Andre is the one that +15's weapons however you need the Very Large Ember to give to him to that will allow him to do so.
4. Fire & Lightning routes remove all stat scaling from weapons however you get the elemental damage which is good against certain enemies. Thus making them good for low level characters. Best routes if you aren't restricting yourself to low level are Chaos path and +15 path. Chaos is fire damage that scales with your humanity up to 11. Going full fire+10 is useless really. Lightning is more niche use unless you're like level 1 or 2 or so.
Oh and if you're going really really high level or a specific build. Magic or Enchanted paths are really good. Forget at what point they become good though (They scale with your INT)
