Yup, Dark Souls on PC is 6h1t. Why? Because they couldnt make detailed area's smoother.
Btw, new expension called "Dark Souls: Prepare to Die" is on its way. Side note: Dro, that might be the new content your talking about.

After a very successful petition to port Dark Souls to PC I now notice a lot of outcry at the fact that a small company with other projects to attend to and no experience in Pc games isn't able to really improve the performance compared to the console versions, and that this is a dealbreaker
(along with complaints about a pricetag of 40 euro being very high; even though it includes ~10 hours of new content) |

ok i was goin to mention the elite knight armor cause it easy to get. dont rememebr if you said you have been through Blight town. if not go through there and ring the second bell by beating the spider lady. follow the path down and the go out the doorway to the next area. cant remember then name but has lava. follow that to the right and go through the fog. dont worry the big thing will not attack you til you grab the armor. the back corner this is an item which is an armor set. it is one of the best all-round armor set you can get, and its even light in weight. i actually still use the bottom part of that armor set now mixed with some others and im lvl 140 something i think. that will def help ya. |

ok there are a couple ways to farm souls. one is the way you are already doing it. to do a lap in Darkroot garden and have the Hunters fall of the cliff. here are some others.
1. joining the Darkwraith covenant. this covenant always you to invade other players game whenever you want and also if you are killed in their game doesnt make you lose anything. i def suggest if you want to use this method that you do it in you first play through. reason being you have to go through the Four Kings boss to get it. now while there are hard on the first they may become thee hardest boss in the game on the second play through and beyond. i have heard that from many people and would prob agree with them. so def do this one on your first play through if your thinking you want to use this method.
2. this one you can do one of 2 ways. you can do it as a hollowed or human form. you are goin to want to set up PvP cause you will be fighting other human players in this method as well, but in this one you will have some help. unlike if you invade using the darkwraith covenant. ok so go to the door you opend with the crest in the Darkroot garden. as a hollow go to the bottom of the steps lay your summon sign. basically wait to be summoned, just about everyone that summons at that spot is farming souls. the way it works at that part of the Darkroot garden is whena human comes the Hunters covenant summons people to attack them. when you are summoned you and your summoner will continuously be invade by players that are part of the Hunters covenant. when you kill them you will get how ever many souls they are carrying. you can do the same thing in human form only you will be the one summoning and when you get killed you will drop your souls and have to pick them up again.
3. the third one is much like the second but right before the end of the game. after filling the lordvessle with all the souls needed the big doors will open and you will go down a flight of steps and then a little platform. lay your summoning sign down on there. you will get invaded by human players in a little bit of time. if you are in human form try using the item that attracks phantoms may speed up the process.
4. this one is simply just setting your summoning sign in front of the boss at Anor Londo. its an easy spot to get to once you open the door way to the building its in. plus people are always looking for help with that one and its a fair amount of souls as well.
i have never used the darkwraith covenant method but out of all the other one the 2nd one is the best one to use. plus its fun to PvP with someone on your team. ive had many of times it was actually a 2v2 cause they Hunters can summon more then one person to invade you or your summoners game. hope that helps and if you need more details let me know.

I have the Elite Knight Armor now which I'm using along with the Drake Sword and Knight Shield. It's an ok setup, but still not what I want for where I'm at in the game. |

Sounds like I need to get some stronger armor then I'll come back and try again. I'm still using the original armor I was given as a Wanderer! |

By Red Dragon, are you talking about the dragon that drops the Drake Sword? if so, the way I was able to beat him was to sit by the edges where the fire cant hit you. When he comes towards you, get behind him and chop away. I actually passed him and didnt come back to fight him till i had strong enough weapons and armor. Im about to go thru my 3rd walkthrough and still think he was the toughest boss out of the entire game. |

Anybody have a good strategy on how to beat the Red Dragon? I can't shoot him to death with arrows because he keeps healing himself. Trying to melee him is a PITA too. I can manage to get a couple of melee hits on it's head by standing off to the left side (after getting it to come forward by shooting one arrow) but then I die once it's starts breathing fire. Help!!

Holy sh!t on being on your 4th playthrough! I'm on soul level 49. I just started farming souls recently by running a lap behind the crested door in darkroot garden, getting the guys there to chase me and then they fall off the ledge, usually netting me 7k souls in 2-3 mins, but sometimes that damn mage just doesn't want to follow you which will lengthen the process! So, where else can i find lotsa souls mighty quick? Anything in this game like that storm level from Demons Souls where you could rack up 20k souls in a few mins by using the storm sword? That'd be nice! |

i just beat the butterfly in Darkroot garden. I went into Blighttown first, but decided to go to Darkroot garden instead because I kept getting poisoned by those darts and needed moss clumps (i think) from the ents ( the tree enemies in darkroot garden) to counter the poison. As far as level goes, I'm on 49 I think. My highest stats are Vit, End, and Dex, all 22 with Strength close behind at 20. Don't really remember what everything else is. I use virtually no magic, lol! I've been playing the game hallowed for the most part, but am going to try and play as a human more so I can get invaded finally:) I wish you were given your life back after beating a boss, instead of just when you consume humanity. |

what lvl are you? and where are you at in the game? there are 2 good ways to farm but its easier for me to recommend which way to use by knowing what lvl u r and where ur at in the game. yes this is one of the best for sure. i have played through 3X. would have finished a fourth but i started to play ACR since i had it on my shelf unopened for over a month. thought it was time to crack it open. im sure ill go back to Dark Souls once i get through single player on ACR. |

Thanks for the info. I've been fighting her as the undead. Haven't try human yet. I do have humanity but didn't want to chance it with Queelag and lose it. I will try next time tho...
I haven't seen Mildred yet but now I know why. I have figured out Queelag's move but she always gets me with her jump. Soul arrows is a magic spell, right? |

o and 2 more quick tips.
when fighting Mildred, dont try and fight her in the swamp. it will be much harder then it needs to. as soon as she invade run back into the tunnel that the bonfire is in. that way you wont be slowed by the swamp and wont have to deal with the stupid flying bugs. you can just focus on her.
this one is for the game in general, if you know your not goin to be hit cause the boss is distracted or you have gotten that good at dodging their attacks. dont be afraid to change to holding ur weapon with both hands. that little bit of extra hit power each hit will go a long way in a boss battle. be careful tho cause with no shield up some bosses can kill you in one hit. try when your behind a boss to quickly switch to 2 handed, then when they are goin to turn around or use an attack switch back to one, so you can have your shield ready just incase.

first let me see if i can help you with Queelag. are you trying to beat her as a human or undead. i would strongly suggest human. on ur way to fight her as a human you should get invaded by Mildred Maneater. she is strong but her attacks are slow, basically get close so she swings then dodge, hit her once or twice then back off and recover ur stamina. ok after beating her and still being in human form you can now summon her right before you enter the Queelag fight. she wont beat the boss, but you can use her as a distraction for Queelag. Mildred will stay alive for must of the fight but will die at some point more then likely before you beat Queelag. i suggest using a close range tactic when Mildred is alive then when she dies using a ranged tactic with soul arrows if you have learned them. the trick with her and any boss is to figure out what set of attacks they have. i want to say Queelag has 3. her sword attack, her lava attack and her rear attack (kinda just slams her rear down if ur directly behind her. what u have to pick up on is what the bosses body does before the do an attack. just about all the bosses do this. you can stun her if you are able to hit her directly in the front (her human body). it will only last for a couple secs but will allow you to roll backwards out of the way. good luck and hope that helps. now for leveling. it really depends on what ur trying to do and ur play style. if you looking to just gain some fast hit power the leveling ur weapon is the best way at first. cause you can get at least plus 4 hit points in the most basic weapon. when u might only get 1 or 2 by leveling ur player. you can go to the Blacksmith right before the Darkroot Garden and lvl ur weapon up there and by the basic shards to lvl ur weapon up to lvl 5. not the Drake sword tho since that uses dragon scales. its 800 for 1 shard then another 200 for the weapon. if your finding ur running out of stamina to quickly but ur doin some good damage then i suggest you lvl ur player first. |

Just got this game a couple weeks ago, awesome game! Here's a questions for those of you who have been playing it longer? Is it better to reinforce your weapons or level up? I'm currently in blight town but I'm having a tough time with that Queelag lady spider. I just reinforced the drake sword +1 but it takes 10000 souls to do so and frankly don't feel like finding another 10000 souls... I will if I have to. My current level is 34.
