Subject: Dark Souls Help V2!

Hello Flood, you might remember my thread a couple hours ago about Dark Souls, and I've decided to start playing as thief.

I need help because I don't know what to do. My dagger (my strength is too low to wield anything else) is about to break, and therefore has a lot of reduced damage! I can't return to undead Burg to fix it because I'm all the way in Undead Parish, what do I do?

On the Left

Godshatter: I can go all the way with someone without being attracted to them.
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'.

You level up and wield a new weapon.

There's a blacksmith near the Undead Parish. You can go to him to fix it.

If you reached the chapel area (the place with the huge knight) just go right. There should be a long bridge the leads to another building, the blacksmith is in there.

Proud Spartan II, COG soldier, Hero of time, and crowbar wielding scientist.

Don't forget the dark souls wikis. A lot of hard work went into those. :P

Also, the dagger would be a very hard weapon to utilize, unless you know how. Since this is a first playthrough, I would suggest using a katana, it's light weight, fast, and does a good amount of damage. It's easier to use for first-timers.

Should've gone for the Drake Sword.

Make sure you utilize backstab if you're going to stick with thief. It'll yield you a ton of damage.

Drake Sword ftw, you can use it for like half the game (it's been a while though, they may have patched it since).

I don't think Classes matter all that much. Just make sure to spend your stats in weapons you are most comfortable with.

I think that was its purpose. A not so obvious weapon you can obtain early on as a crutch essentially.

"Living to smile, and not to succeed; smiling to inspire happiness, not to give the illusion you are happy; creativity and music to inspire smiling, which in turn inspires happiness; being nice to be happy, not for being perceived a good person."

How you use backstab? -_-

I missed the part in the beginning where it tells you, and have so far played a third of the game without having it within my skill set.

You get behind them and then stab them.

Get behind an enemy, attack.

It's a tad bit more complicated then that, but thats the gist. Look up a youtube guide to go really in depth if you want to be great at it.

I just can't beat it guys. I do so little damage that I just can't beat anything ):

Should've gone for the drake sword, you aren't too far in for a re-roll. Also, go pyromancer.

Like I said, change weapons. It's not that the dagger is bad, it's just I think you need to learn more about the weapons and how to properly utilize them.

You can use the Titanite Shards to upgrade your weapons to do more damage.

For some reason, I can't use them on my dagger. Also my dagger is officially broken, and I can only do 50 damage with backstabs.

I think I'll re-roll just like that guy said and go pyromancer (went pyromancer the first time). As well as get the drake sword.

Will it still be possible to dual wield? I asked in my last thread if I could run around with dual wielded swords and kill people really quickly while dodging like a boss and being like an assassin/rogue/thief kind of guy.

Is that still possible, because I heard it's incredibly difficult to pull off.

You should check some wiki sites and videos on youtube. They help a lot. Get to the church, which is behind the gate that's guarded by the armoured hog. There should be a narrow walkway somewhere, that leads to a bonfire. There should be a blacksmith somewhere close.

You probably have to repair the dagger first before it lets you upgrade it.

As for dual-wielding, yeah it's possible, but like you said it would be incredibly difficult.

Just go Shield+Sword, and then enter Two-handed mode when you want to trade your blocking for extra damage.

Don't forget to summon people for help if you need to.
