Subject: This is a little embarrassing [Dark souls]

So i went into the game expecting it not to be half as hard as everyone says it is and.......................................................... ........................4 hours in and I'm still in the undead burg, constantly dying(at least a third of my deaths are from walking off a cliff), also i killed the merchant.

Should i just restart now? or should i keep going? help flood.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

Eh, that merchant isn't that important. What character build did you go for?

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

It took me twenty hours of farming to get to where I could beat the Taurus Demon. Try to use plunging attacks.

1. Get on the tower with archers, the one where you cross through the white door.
2. Clear out archers.
3. Get Taurus Demon to come out.
4. Get on tower.
5. Plunging attack.
6. Run toward other tower and wait for him to power attack, then run past him back to the tower.

Repeat steps 4-6 until Taurus Demon is dead.

Anyways, you killed the merchant? Bummer. I'm pretty sure he's who you get arrows and pack upgrades from.

You can restart if you want, thread maker. But it's up to you. He isn't a necessity. Just a convenience.

And remember: Dark Souls is a 'look before you leap' game. Don't rush in. And don't rush off cliffs.

That's right. I just dropped some AOL IM protocol.

If that's as far as you got. Yeah, start over. You won't need that merchant long, but he has good stuff for starting out.

last night. hmm, don't you have to be alive to go to other people's world, if so we'll probably never get to play together.

I tried that on my first go, it went something like this.

kill archers
lure demon out
climb up and attempt the plunge attack
>I miss
Try again
>he jumps up the tower with me and wipes his ass with my corpse

Seriously? Maybe it's because I'd already finished Demon's Souls several times and knew what to expect, but Dark Souls didn't get hard for me until Ornstein and Smough.

Yeah you can't wait when you get up there. You have to get up and jump right away. If you waste time, he'll knock you off.

I've face him a good half dozen times now. I've never missed or had to repeat an attempt after my first success. Once you get something in Dark Souls, you get it.

Well going back to what burrito said, one you've got something you've got it, but before that you can end up spending hours smashing your head against a brick wall.

CamCamm: How does that work?
Godshatter: I'm easily aroused by anything that moves. It's a curse.
Brain says 'No, that's ugly', body says 'ugly is fine with me'.

One of the easiest bosses in the game. Hes a joke,
Four kings, Orestein and Smough are hard.

Once you beat the Taurus Demon go get the Drake Sword.

idk if it was my level or not, but Orstein and Smough were not that hard for me. Same with the four kings.

He's easy but the boss fight just isn't fair. The dogs themselves pose the only real problem. And seeing as op can't even kill the taurus demon, he'll be in hell.

I would hardly call it cheating. Besides OP clearly doesn't know what he is doing. I'm not saying he should watch an ENB run through of the game so he knows exactly what to do, just use his videos to find a footing and get familiar with the game.

QFT.

Honestly OP, it's a great game. Keep going at it. Also, if you've killed the merchant than you should have the uchigatana now, correct? That is a decent beginner's sword, you shouldn't have much trouble as long as you maintain/upgrade it for awhile. Just remember to keep leveling your stats, and to not try and plow through everything since this is your first go.

I don't even know what that is, i think it's going to take me quite a while to beat this game.

"Holly crap a sword that's actually better than my starting gear!"

OP should join Solaire, and the sun bro covenant for some jolly cooperation.
