Level 125, already beat the game and on my second run

GOTY.

I think I was the only one who finished NG below level 85, and now I'm paying for it on NG+

Level 83 ha! Going to pay for it in NG+ severely, though

Level 81, take that!  

But yeah, you're going to pay for it XD. Not right from the start, but from Sen's Fortress onward it gets really tough >_<.  

Damn it, thought I had you XD

The final boss was awesome, much better than the original's; also, since getting Crystal spells, my life as a Sorcerer has become x5 easier. On to the Platinum!

Told you Crystal powers were OP  

Just wait until you have multiple casts of them over at NG+ XD.

i hate this game right now. i went into the forest, to invade others. (To get those things to level up Darkmoon) .. after some time, ive been invaded 17 damn times (though i was victorious 14 times.. the 3 losses were to two doods at once, which have used some weird spell, that drains life no matter what i do, a little when holding a shield, and pretty much everything in seconds when unguarded) .. and yeah.. how often did I invade? 0 times..

Darkmoon is really broken. It's even worse if you get summoned via the ring (if you get summoned at all) on Anor Londo, since there are no level restrictions for it. I ended up fighting a 2-1 fight with both guys being SL 300... 

I'll only get the souvenirs from the harpies on Aramis. The drop rate might be crap, but at least I know I can get them there.

doing the same.. got 1 out of like 40 harpyes for now.. ugh

edit: 70ish harpies, 2 souvenirs. of course with 410 Droprate



I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

I dread the moment when I have to do that myself >_>.  Are you farming the harpies from the annex or the spiral stairway?

there we go again with translation problems xD But it says 'Starker Zauberschild' which simply equals Strong MagicShield, so it cant be the latter. ^^

 

edit: Its definetly the first one you mentioned, looked it up.

So you just block and attack them? How about their crazy jump attack from above which is OHKO?

cast strong magic shield, let yourself get hit for a bit, and then start laughing about whats going on.
