Stop reversing hollow. Stay undead.Vampire_Hunter_Bob said:I really like this game, but when I start making any real progress I get a god damned Invader coming into my game and fucking things up. The first time an invader came into my game I had just died fighting the Terrace Demon, so not only did I die a second time I lost all my shit from the previous death.
How'd you fare against Artorias?TheBranded1 said:Started the DLC over the weekend, I"m at the Chasm of the Abyss section. The Boss beat me, but I"ll give it another try on the weekend.
He beat me around around 10 times. I almost beat him the second time but someone got on the way . That time he had only powered up once , he wasn't that strong yet. When I beat him he powered up 4 times but was slower. I don't have any if the weapons you can make with souls of the bosses, so I took all my armor and dodged most of the time, and hit him while he did that one arm thrust .Walter said:How'd you fare against Artorias?

Sure, you get to summon guys like Solaire to aid you in big boss encounters. Other than that, I think I read once that there are some stat-related bonuses, but after doing a quick Google search, I couldn't verify that.Vampire_Hunter_Bob said:Are there any real benefits to reversing the hollow aside from lighting bonfires?
A lot of really good shots!Walter said:Here's an image gallery featuring every screenshot I took throughout both of my playthroughs of the game. Some spoilers of course: http://imgur.com/a/5ffpq#0

I played 99% of my game hollowed, and had an enjoyable experience. The few times I would kindle a bonfire as human and then trek out on a quest, some asshole would invade, and I would get ganked by Wrath of God. Fuuuuun
Sure, those guys are reaaaaally easy to take down though.Infinte said:He can also get invaded by certain NPC which upon death drops certain armor sets and weapon like Maneater Mildred, Paladin Leeroy and Kirk, Knight of Thorns.

The key here is pattern recognition. Keep a safe distance as many of his attacks will lock onto you and you need time to dodge his massive body. Then run in and attack when he's completed a movement. I'd recommend switching to two handed quickly before striking for these moments for maximum damage. Rinse and repeat. One of the easier Bosses really. He just looks intimidating.Vampire_Hunter_Bob said:Gaping Dragon.

Vampire_Hunter_Bob said:Yeah not a tough boss once you get use to those patterns. I am really loving this game a lot, it's what a modern Castlevania games should have been.
.... No...TheBranded1 said:Did you cut the tail for the weapon?

slan69 said:I am about to fight that thing, hopefully with my trusty Zweihander it will be a piece of cake like the last boss.
C'mon... He doesn't have to get it all in the first pass, ya know. That's the sort of thing y ou learn over time, and the fact that the tail drop for gaping dragon is an end-game weapon implies that it's meant for people on their second run. Not people using a guide. Anyway that weapon is only good for end-game strength-based melee.TheBranded1 said:Did you cut the tail for the weapon?
