Well, I for one don't condone you for putting so much emphasis on luck, but it's rather useless at this point in the game.

Luck will only be a factor once you get the BlueBlood sword, since luck boosts the attack of the sword by two points for each luck point. If you factor the boosts that you get from Strength, Magic and Faith, with high luck, Blueblood sword can be the best sword in the game, with over 600 attack power.

But if you want to reroll, I suggest that you do, and try to focus your character on an exclusive type of build. As you were more of a Bow user before, why not try to invest more points in Dexterity next time?


As for me, i'm going a hybrid of Warrior/Mage now, it's nice to cast Firestorm for massive damage and then switch to a Dragon Bone Smasher +5 and a Tower Shield +5 on the other hand xD


Ok, I'll take your advice. Should I start with "Hunter" class again?

Ok, I don't know why my posts are passing through, but i'll try it one last time.

If you're going to be a primarely Bow user, hunter or thief is the way to go.

You'll start with the best light armour in the game, good dexterity stats (12) and overall balanced stat.

Being a Hunter, you'll want to hit 30 Dexterity and 22 Strength A.S.A.P

30 Dexterity will allow you to make an insane amount of damage, once you get the Lava Bow, or better, the Sticky Compound Long Bow +5, which at 30 dexterity does 125 damage to the Tower Knight in NG++

22 Strength will allow you to use the Purple Flame Shield, which when it hits +10, becomes the best shield overall in the entire game, not only for it's high Guard Reduction (82%), but because of it's 100% Damage and 90% Fire Reduction.

Also, the only weapon you'll ever need for melee will be the Sharp Uchigatana +5, which increases massively in damage done as you increase dexterity (it goes to way over 400 damage at 99 Dexterity), plus it attacks very fast and only drains 20 stamina per swing. 

 

Wow cool.

I like this setup :D

This time I won't waste all my firebombs on Phalax and I use way less arrows when killing the dragon. What about Vitality and Endurance? Should I increase them?

You won't need to increase vitality or endurance too much, you'll start with 11 and 12 respectively, and you should get them to 20 at least, that will be enough for the duration of the first game (you can put endurance to 30 if you want stamina for blocking, so take that in consideration once you reach the latter stages of the playthrough, before going to NG+)

The largest amount I had lost before this was 500K, but losing 3M, felt like someone just gave me a punch in the stomach :P

I just stopped doing soul farming sessions, I just want the damned platinum >_<.


I'm surprised you still don't have the platinum Lestatdark with all the knowledge you have about the game.

What are you missing?

The most I lost was around 2M and I regretted a little bit keeping so much on me without training.

I'm still missing the Unique Weapons and all Spells/Miracles trophy, i'm on NG++ now getting the Unique Weapons and Spells one, and on NG+++ i'm getting the All Miracles one.

I could have had the trophy a long time ago, i'm just messing around farming for Colourless Demon's Souls and getting back on Pure White CT once more :P Also farming for souls has kept me going, this game is just to good to give it up xD


I see hehe, I was just curious cause you're always here helping people. :P



At some point, something must have come from nothing...

...nothing can come from nothing...

Ok. So this is the game plan:

Lots of focus on Dexterity and Strength while investing a decent amount in Vitality and Endurance.

Sounds goood.

@carl back to the nexus and to a different "world" (2, 3, 4 or 5) they are the other archstones

 

An archdemon is the "boss" (the last boss) at the end of a world.

 

You just finished 1-1 and 1-2.  You could go to 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 (and beat the boss) to open the fog and go to 1-3 for instance.

 

or 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, or 4-1, 4-2, 4-3 etc.  You're free to explore in any order you wish in the other worlds.



Carl on 14 January 2010

Ohhh right. Thought i had to finish this world before i reached another.

Thanks

That's a good plan ;) Also, when you reach NG+, you might want to invest some points in Intelligence, to use Warding and Soulsucker, those will be invaluable in NG+.

@Carl

As EncodedNybble said, you'll have to tackle another world's major demon.

From my experience, world 4 is the easier, but for some people it's world 2. Whatever you do, do not try world 5 yet! you'll start hating the game enormously :P World 5 is a world filled with your worst nightmares xD

@Crazy Horse - Only the 4-3 CG give Pure Darkmoon Stones. So, only on a next playthrough for you. Sorry.

As for me, I finally got all Cloudstone I needed (ended up with 99 shards with Thomas and 83 myself :P). I still 1 Pure Moonlighstone (3-3 CG) and 2 chunks of Cloudstone. But I can get those on my next playthrough.

Now I just need to beat 1-4 (already took care of the blue dragon) and finish the game a second time. Im lvl 148 I think now.

@lestat - does my stamina gets any bigger than 160?

@marciosmg

Nice, you're almost through with the trophies as well :) I'm 194 now though :P

Stamina doesn't go past 160, it's the cap for it. Even if you go to 99 End, it stays at 160, it's to balance the effect of guard reduction on shields xD
