I forgot, can you get to +10 with just normal Titanite Shards or do you need a bunch of large ones?

One shall stand, one shall ball.

You need large shards.

Quote from Serris:

I'm assuming Opium has several +10 weapons already, and having the item discovery ring would make farming more shards also faster.

naw, the strongest I have is a +7 broadsword. Just picked up an Uchigatana, definitely need to upgrade it. The demon's spear looks nice too but I didn't buy it.

The Demon's Spear is one of my favorite weapons. Not the strongest in terms of damage, but it's got the longest reach out of any melee weapon in the game. It's also fantastic against the final boss.

Serris

The only weapon you will ever need, both in-game and irl.

That looks amazing.

Also, mushroom people are creepy as hell. EEEEK!

At first I thought he was cute. Seemed like a 'fun guy' to me. *rimshot*

Well, there's a friendly mushroom in the DLC, if that helps.

So what's the big deal with this hollow area? I keep having to fall to try to get to places, and twice I've had to use a bone to go back up to the bonfire because I fell in a place where the was no way to go but fall to my death and I'm packin' a ton of souls. I once made it to an area that had a ladder inside the tree but I fell through a hole before I could get to the ladder, and I once made it to a fog door but didn't enter it. Am I wasting my time and risking my souls big-time in here?

Serris

It's an optional, massively long descent that ends in a dead end with a covenant leader. If you rest at the bonfire at the very end, you have no choice but to climb all the way back out because you don't have fast travel. I warned you. :>

Opium

I don't have fast travel, but I can return to the last bonfire I rested at. I'll do that and then come back here when I have fast travel.

Awww... I wanted to read her reaction to the Ash Lake.

Serris

2016-02-08 11:18:45 pm

That reaction will probably be more enthusiastic if it isn't followed by a frustrating realization. :p

2016-02-08 11:19:25 pm

Well, as long as she doesn't rest at one of the bonfires down there, she's fine :V

Serris

2016-02-08 11:20:10 pm

That's probably the first thing you'd do if you didn't know it was a dead end, though.

Idkbutlike2

2016-02-08 11:20:37 pm

I know. I meant after she had already read your advice.

Opium

NOW I have a +10 weapon: broadsword. I wish I had more regular shards, though. Only place I know to farm for those is bottom floor of the cathedral, and I'm REALLY sick of farming there. Too tired to fight the blighttown boss tonight. Besides, every time I go near there I get boulders in my face. Def too tired for boulders in face right now.

Have you at least beaten the dark spirit in the swamp? If you do, you can summon her in the upcoming boss fight.

Serris

2016-02-08 11:27:18 pm

The first blacksmith you found in the Undead Parish sells infinite regular shards.

You can avoid aggroing the boulder tossers by going along the edge of the swamp on the far right when coming down the elevator.

Opium

I know, they're a little pricey though.

Serris

2016-02-09 09:05:12 am

Using a great soul farming spot and buying shards would probably be more efficient than farming shards, though.

Yeah, it would except I like to use my souls for leveling up. Besides, every once in a while they drop a lot of shards and then I would feel stupid for buying them.

btw, I have so much duplicate crap in my bottomless box. Is there a point to hoarding stuff?

Idkbutlike2

2016-02-09 10:19:25 am

Well, soon enough you'll have a way to get rid of all that stuff for souls.

So I decided to play a Mage. I haven't played my obligatory female mage with rapier in DS yet, so that's the best run I could think of now without going for another challenge run (which I'm currently not interested in).

Unsurprisingly, online doesn't seem to be strong. It took me minutes to get summoned for the Gargoyles. On console that happens in seconds. Or at least used to.
