Dark Souls

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. 

 

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.
