So... Anyone here picked any class other than Pyromancer? Also:

I'm not "good enough" far from it actually, also, I don't know where you've seen that, every forum and video I watch/read about the game does mention the dragon farming spot, but not that it's necessary in any way shape or form, however, I do agree that it makes thing easier, after all, I do remember doing multiple runs of 4-1 in Demon's Souls in order to increase the power of my character's spells. Also, that dude with the golden armor:

That's what I don't like about Demons's Souls. So this is more of the same then? Actually, Demon's Souls kinda had a way of telling you "yeah, go here first" by separating each "world" into different areas, since Dark Souls is open world there's no such thing. I've seen videos of dudes going a certain way right at the beginning of the game where they die pretty much instantaneously. However, some dudes are already trying to figure out what the "natural" progression on this game is, so if you want to avoid an early death you can read about it, I think it takes part of the fun out of the game though. You need 20,0000 souls so you can buy this key from the blacksmith near darkroot garden. The door is to the passage to the left in darkroot garden, at the very end. There's a hidden fire/camp right next to it. The best way to get the 20,000 souls is to use the red dragon [the one you get the drake sword from] to scorch the skeletons on top of the bridge. There's a shortcut to the fireplace near the entrance of the town. You probably already kicked down the ladder seeing how far you are. If you've already killed the dragon and don't have anywhere near 20,000 souls, you can still get there by killing the skeletons yourself but this takes much longer as the dragon would kill them all in a matter of seconds. Once you get the key and open the door in darkroot gardens, let me know. I would explain what to do, but there's tons of videos in youtube on how to do it. I went from a level 16 to a level 48 just by rinsing and repeating this method. You gotta love how the only way people are doing so good in this game is by exploiting its easy 'cash' and cheap weapons. To be fair the games' difficulty practically begs you to cheat. I've been able to kill the Capra Demon, get into the Depths and more without having to farm souls like that. Only "farming" I've done was killing all the dudes in my way from the Undead Parish to the Gargoyle area when I wanted to play co-op with someone. No farming is necessary IMO as long as you have a character build that you're comfortable with. Also, only time I've used the Drake Sword was on my second fight against the Gargoyles, mostly because I forget it exists. Also, I don't want to spend souls repairing it. There's also the fact that I "accidentally" killed the dragon on that bridge before learning you could farm souls there.

I just lured it down the stairs (right where you first arrive in this area) where it's path would reset and once I had an opening stabbed him a couple of times with the spear, avoid his attack, rinse repeat, and he was dead easily, takes a while, but it's the best way IMO if you don't want to take any damage from his attacks or from the skeletons. I liked that they not tell you anything, you just find out you went the wrong way by dying a bunch of times. Also, I'm pretty sure you can buy/get black firebombs from enemies/merchants(?).

Decided to abandon my usual spellcaster build in order to get something more focused on strength, so far it's worked well, using a spear + shield combo mostly, also using the gargoyle tail ax and of curse, the drake sword. Has anyone found anything other than titanite ore? I got a shining titanite shard from a crystal lizard but haven't found anything else.

Basically, the way the handle the co-op/invasion/multiplayer means that it's incredibly hard to play with specific dudes. Not only that, it's also harder to find anyone to invade/co-op with because you could end up in a server with no one in it, in a server where everyone is of completely different levels or where everyone is in a different area, in short, they kinda broke one of the most awesome components the game had. It's still possible to co-op with other dudes, but you have to be very patient or try/pray to get in a server where dudes are actually close to your level or in the same area as you are. I've noticed it while playing, sometimes there are a lot of messages everywhere, sometimes there are no messages anywhere, same with summoning signs, before one of the bosses I saw a bunch of soul signs and when I returned (got killed the first time ) there were 0 signs anywhere.

Got it too, it's awesome against bosses. Speaking of: Also: The Pyromancer's starting spell is pretty useless, when it hits it's powerful, but it's really easy to evade and certain enemies will just murder you while you're casting it.

Supposedly my copy should arrive tomorrow, apparently the Limited Edition IS limited since many stores have run out of copies and other stores didn't even have them available no matter whether or not you pre-ordered. http://www.gameinfor...n-expected.aspx Giant Bomb's "Quick" Look. http://www.giantbomb...-souls/17-4966/ Also:

Since the release date is really close, what platform are you getting it on? Who's buying it on release date? Also:

Not sure if the soul level of my characters is good enough for coop, but here's what I have: Level 53 (I think) Level 118 Level 49 And that's it.
