@Cincaid: Just wait outside til they show up. Apparently it often fails... I guess you just have to wait until it's successful :/

Cheers man! I also realized I might not be ready to face him. I'm only level 17 (thanks to Capra I also lost roughly 14k souls and 4 humanity), and the only really good item I have is the Drake Sword. Maybe I should grind some levels and upgrade some stuff before I try again?

Hm, if you find no help, then try get up the stairs and most important, kill the dogs first. I've read that capra itself is not that hard at all, it's mainly the dogs. I had about the same level as you but I guess upgrade some stuff is never wrong , though there's nothing better than a helping hand on that boss :P@MentalDisruptionsaid:

I started as cleric and wanted to go as some kind of strenght/faith-based character. So now my problem is, that apparently the divine weapon upgrade (which I planned to do) would erase the strenght-multiplier but enhance magic/faith.

It doesn't seem to pay off if I go with divine. Which other upgrades would fit, are there special weapons with faith and strenght multipliers to be found or is there something that would work with that kind of character, or should I skill in another direction?

There's an occult upgrade path that is better faith scaling than divine. Still hurts str and dex, but str and dex scaling seems to be weaker by comparison anyway. Lightning is currently best all around though.

Thx Chop, you're really helping me out at the moment^^

So I just beat the gaping dragon and there's absolutely no chance for me to make it through blighttown (can't even beat the first guy...). Is there any alternative you would suggest? Which level did you have as you entered the town?

You could go to darkroot garden. There's two bosses there that you can fight, some gear, and plenty of enemies. If you've already done that then blight town is probably the best option, so you'll just have to improve your gear and practice the guys down there. I was around level 30 when I entered the first time, but I still got my ass kicked. It's more important to have the gear and proper supplies to deal with poison than to have a high level.

Hm, maybe I'll try an occult halberd or mace. Sounds interesting, even it's not that powerful.

Ah, that garden. Been there once but felt too low. But if I come to think of that now, it could work.

Just got plenty of souls from helping out people with the gaping dragon. It's a great way to get souls, 12,5k each time, which is a lot for me.

thx for the help!

@crabbiTScot: np :)

Hi all! 2 very quick noob questions lol 1) how do I beat the Taures Demon - he keeps kicking my ass! 2 ) at one point I had 10 flask, now only 5. Anyone got a step by step guide to get 10 again? Cheers!

1) The easiest way is just to use jump attacks. Climb the tower, jump + R1 and repeat. 3 attacks should be enough. He is also weak to fire.

2) Kindle to enhance the bonfire (though you have to be human and you must offer 1 humanity)

@Cincaid: Yep, you have to human. Then you just look for a sign, that's all you can do.

From what I have experienced, it's a pretty crowded place and you should have no problem finding at least one phantom to help you. (I helped out a few times myself and most of the time it was a party of 3)

@Chop: Lightning claymore sounds good, thx.

And yet another question: I'm in the sewers and I'm cursed. What's the fastest way to get rid of that?

@Syndrom: dude i did all demon souls with a friends, without problems. also, with this sistem playing randomly co-op or pvp its almost impossible! i spend half of the time human, but no summon writes...and if i'm a undead no one summon me. this game would be pretty better with a decent server system.

EU servers? I get summoned every 4-5 minutes plus another phantom (right before capra that was) which also means there have to be a few signs around there. It can't be that bad.

The system works. I wanted help, I got help and so did the other players.

This is not a MMORPG, why should every system be like that?

Nice, just watched part 1 a couple of hours ago.

You made it very entertaining and I kinda want to play a wanderer myself now :P

And I especially like your "nope, I'm not gonna rush through this"-attitude, since that is exactly the way I would play.

Keep them LPs coming!

I completely understand that people are upset with the mp currently not working properly. I just don't quite get, why they complain about not being able to invite friends/directly form a group with them etc. since From Software did not announce that. If they did, I'm not aware of it and it's clearly a broken promise, that has to be fixed.
