Have fun with Northern Regalia, you'll get a 165 attack boost if you're either Pure White or Pure Black Character Tendency, boosting the attack to an awesome 540, half physical, half magical xD

What was your main trouble with the Armor Spider in NG+? I actually think that she's easier in NG+ than in normal game, even Flamelurker seems to be too xD. BTW, have you leveled up nicely?

Oh, and King's Field games were awesome, it's a shame that the original King's Field never got published outside Japan, i'm really glad the same didn't happen with Demon's Souls, or else we would be missing one of the best games ever.

Problem is, in order to easily beat Armor Spider you HAVE to play cheap. Either you get to a specific spot where it can't hit you (I did eventually, after dying several times) or you have one hell of a ride. After finding the aformentioned spot, it hit me just once while it got raped by my Soul Ray... Flamelurker was a piece of cake with my Purple Flame Shield +9 and Water Veil.

I have a magic edge, all my stats are >25 except for Luck and Faith (11 and 14) with a 32 intelligence and 40 magic (my Crescent Falchion +5 deals some serious damage - my Firestorm totally rapes

Well, I went up straight to her face and melee'd her to death xD Her fireballs are easy to dodge, they travel diagonally at best, so when you see her launching the fireball, just make sure you run counter-diagonally to the path of the fireball. Also, in NG+ and subsquent ++, she always throws two fireball in succession, so running in a Z pattern makes it easier to dodge both. 

If you're fast enough, she won't have time to prep up the Shotgun-like fireballs, and will only have time to prep up the Web Throw, which can be seen coming from miles when she rears up her Abdomen.

Once you're up and close, she'll mainy use her melee attack, which can be blocked easily with the Purple Flame Shield +10 and after a few attacks, she'll drop down, allowing you to get some hits in her. Because of her drop down attack is a high damaging melee move, you should always stick to the center frame of her body, that way she cannot hit you.

Those are some nice stats ;) Currently i'm leveling up all my stats to 30, only need Luck to reach that level, but after that, i'm doing a Dexterity/Strenght/Faith Build. 

Also, when you use firestorm, do you also keep the Kris Blade, the Ring of Magical Sharpness and Old Monk's Wraps with you? With those three items (Kris Blade is still Kris Blade +1 to me), I one shotted the Penenetrator in NG+, doing a massive 2300 HP damage XD
