Bay 12 Games Forum

seeing how efficient other people are at this game compared to me makes me jelly.

I've had trouble with the mouse being really slow in previous versions, and I want to make sure that's resolved before I shell out the 20 bucks.

So, I canceled my pre-order for Bioshock: Infinite and I have one thing to say.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Wow, a game from the 21st century that offers a challenge!

I have a few questions at the moment though:

1.How do I kill the Moonlight Butterfly in Darkmoon Garden?

Summon the witch woman! It's so so easy with her!

2. What are black knights, exactly,  I think i've killed one, but im not sure, are they the large humanoids in the armor like the one in Undead Burg and the Undead Parish?

Yes, the ones that are massive and very difficult early, even mid game sometimes...

3. Was it worth killing Solaire of Astoria for his armor?

NO NO NO, Solaire is awesome! (and useful too!)

4. Should I reinforce my armor or weapon first?

I generally always reinforce my weapon, after all armor doesn't matter if you're getting out the way in time! (or have a decent shield)

5. I've heard of a Drake Sword, how does one get that?

Shoot the dragon's tail (the one on the bridge that keeps breathing fire) with a bow until it drops... usually 50+ arrows are needed.

6. Is the Gargoyle Tail Axe better than a Battleaxe, with it's larger size but slightly less damage?

Has high requirements too if I remember correctly, I don't use it, just keep it as a trophy

7. I'm guessing you can't parry an attack made by something alot bigger than you, is this true?

Yup. You can only parry humanoid enemies that are your size or a bit bigger (like black knights and silver knights, even tower knights)

8. After I ring the bell in the Undead Parish, should I go to the Lower Undead Burg, or through the Darkmoon Garden?

Lower Undead, until you're good enough to just go into Darkroot instead.

9. Does the gate Sir Onion is waiting at ever open, the one just past the bonfire near the first bell.

Yes. You will see.

10. That knight dude in the gold armor said he would have a reward for me in the future, when will I be getting this?

Wait and see

11. Are there any tricks to getting the parrying timing down, or is it just a matter of practice?

Practice tbh, just timing.

12. Would I be better off saving my souls or spending them on stats, because im not that great at not dying.

Tbh if you have nothing else to spend them on, why not? If you have a lot and are going into an unknown area or somewhere you think you may die, spend them incase you lose them all.

Alright, theres my questions, this game is awesome, but it also kicks my ass.
