We are not going to get passed the soccering thing. So where is the valley of drake?

Yeah you're totally on the right track. Sorry. And slimes are the least of your troubles. All I'll say is, watch your step.

More adventurous types will explore other areas, but most people go to the Capra Demon and then Depths after they're done with with the first bell. That's where the story is telling you to go anyway. You're supposed to head down, down, down to find the second bell.

I'm level 46 and still haven't gotten around to the butterfly. Too much else that needed doing.

I kind of got lost on the way to the first bell tower. Took a wrong turn and found the butterfly. Oh know... that was one huge detour. I get lost very often in this game.

You are not alone my friend. I am in the same place you are. Standing at the entrance to the depths. The sad thing is that I know I can't take a lot of hits and rats are extremely deadly to me so the very thought of going into the sewer just doesn't seem bright.

Funny story. I checked that first room from the door. I looked at the ground.. the walls... part of the ceiling(not the entire ceiling!) and figured something was going to run out the tunnel after me. So I figured I would sneak up and grab the shiny and then boom... it came from above and not from the tunnel... on top of my head.

I know how to get to the magic upgrade. I just needed confirmation that it scaled with int. You guys gave me that and for that I am thankful. I also know that the depths isn't where the ghost are. I gave up on going there for the time being. I thought my level was high enough but I think I need a better weapons first.

Still I have more questions.

I notice a lot of people committing on my build. Is there something wrong with it? In demon souls(before newgame+), you had people who went around naked to move faster. I noticed most bosses didn't even hit me in that game. However, this game is a lot harder. So maybe I'm going about things in the wrong way. I thought my goal was to get my int up to at least 50 and then work on endurance. Dump a few points in the weapons of my choice, not many, but a few and place whatever is left into vit. Get faith up for whatever spell I need and attunement to 19 for 5 slots. But I'll take any comments about my build. I brought the forest key so I can get souls pretty quickly. Didn't use the glitch. Instead I just dodge and bolt them to death. Sure it is slower but I still get a great amount of souls.

I have the magic weapon skill. I had to get to get pass the 2 dogs beside that boss. The boss was about as easy for me as the dogs were hard. Yea... the dogs were my only problem with this boss fight. The weapon in drake valley sounds interesting. How do I get there? I googled it and everyone asked how to get from drake valley to blighttown.

The only other boss I've found that I haven't taking down is the wolf boss. Is there any point to take him down right now? His range is so long it would probably make for a interesting fight.

And my last question. How do you edit the thread title?

Soccerer? I didn't know you could play soccer in this game!

sorcerer... I did everything I could to correct that. No idea what I was thinking about.

I have a plan now. Stopping to buy a bunch of firebombs and then hiding down into the depths for the green shards and to find a giant rat.

What about the ghost? How are you guys making it pass them without one of them grabbing you? Does magic weapons hurt them?

Let me start of with saying that I'm trying to search online for things but I really want to avoid too many content spoilers that involve ways to beat bosses or take away the fun of exploring. I'm about 15 or 20 hours into the game. A level 35 I think. My int is in the 40's and everything else is where they started. I have the ring that increases spells and the ring that increases range. But here is my main problems.

Weapons, I can't seem to find weapons that scale with my int. I have the butterfly soul. Does divine scale with int? I seen the upgrade chart but it doesn't really tell me which paths scale best with int or which weapons have lower str/dex requirements.

I don't know where to go or what to do. My next area is going to be the depths that I happen to find today. I have to use my magic sword for dogs because they are too powerful for my shortsword+5 and too fast for my spells. It is sad to admit that a few dogs is normally more than enough to take me down which brings me to my next point.

I can stand my own one on one. But groups rape me. Would love to have a way to take down a group faster.

The ghost area is out of the question for me right now till I find a faster way to take them down. They are fine when I see them coming or in small numbers. But I die whenever they appear around me in a group and grab me. Grab is a instant death for my sorcerer.

Also I'm considering raising my stamina some so I can roll faster. Not really sure what I should get it to. I'm not a warrior so I'm not sure if 40 is important for me.
