I have a guy who is level 20. I have over 180 hours with him. I run with +5 black iron armor, +5 black iron leggings, +5 black iron guantlets, and +5 black iron helmet. I have lots of other armor maxed out as well. Also, I use a +5 chaos flamberge with at least 10 humanity and a +5 lightning avelyn with electric bolts. If I'm not using that, I use a +5 lightning flamberge, or +9 fire zweihander. All of my stuff is legit, no glicthing. I have invaded guys who were a lot lower than me, and guys who were a lot higher than me. When I invade lower level guys, it really is no contest, and many times I decide not to kill them, and end up giving them equipment that I've earned through many hours of farming. But, on the same token, I get summoned to help lower level guys a lot too, and can destroy early level bosses for the hosts, and fend off well-equipped invaders, who I expect have glitched to get their stuff instead of earning it like I did.

I don't think you're right about the 10% thing. Like I said, I have a level 20 guy. I have fought and killed hosts and only received like 90 something souls. This means that it took 180 something souls to get to the level they are now which is what, level 3 or 4? In your example of 10%, the lowest level I should be able to invade is level 18. That is not the case, it can't be.

I thought that as an invader (darkwraith), you couldn't invade anyone who was a lower level than you. I'm level 20, but I've invaded many guys who were lower than me, because many times I only get 200+ souls for the kill. A few times I only got like 90 something souls. Has anyone ever figured out the formula for how you are matched up with other people as far as invasions and summoning phantoms goes?

Nice work.

@jozzy That's funny. :D I don't have a problem with my 7 year old playing a game that shows some blood and hair-covered boobies. Also, my 10 year old just started a dark souls walkthrough series on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDPcU3AfFqY&context;=C3e946e3ADOEgsToPDskKm-Lftq7RKZVkPuSq_yZLK We don't have any fancy video capture devices, so he uses our digital camera in "movie mode" to film the tv and catpure 10 minute videos. :)

I don't get why people whine about the difficulty. My 7 year old son is on ng+6 right now and is about to go to +7. You just have to learn enemy movements and locations and you can do this.

I tried laying into them with all I had, but I could never avoid their grab move and most of the time their AoE attack hit me as well. I would try to heal but most of the time I wasn't quick enough to avoid their attack after getting up off the ground. When we finally beat them, we were able to kill each one before the other made their appearance. The guy I summoned had light armor on and could dodge the attacks while I sat back and range-attacked them with my avelyn. I guess Beatrice hit them too with her sorcery, but if I wasn't close enough for her range attack, she would just sit by me and do nothing.

Good news. I summoned a guy named BVGALRIA_extreme, or something like that, and also summoned Beatrice. After about 20 tries, we finally beat those mofos. It's hard to find help at my level, but thankfully this guy was there. He showed me a shortcut from New Londo that I didn't know about. After you've drained the water, you can jump down where the second corpse in a vase is (that gives you transient curse). We also traded tons of items, it was really enjoyable. I ranged the kings with my +5 lightning avelyn and lightning bolts while he tanked them with a giant's fire halberd. He was dodging the attacks like crazy, I still don't know how he did it. Beatrice, well I'm not sure what she did, lol.

Another question I have is how do you avoid the grab attack? He gets me EVERY time!

Hey guys, my build is a level 20 toon and I'm on NG+ trying to beat the four kings. I've tried about 30 times now and as close as I've gotten to beaten these (expletive) is getting the health bar down halfway. Just wondering if there is someone here near my level on the ps3 that might be willing to help me out. I've been using a +9 Flame Zweihander (two-handed) with +5 black iron armor, +5 black iron leggings, and +5 black iron gloves, with a mask of the child. I also have a +5 crest shield to block the initial magic attack and a +14 grass crest shield to switch to for stamina regen. PSN is green_lntrn_2814 if anybody is willing to help.
