hi i need help with something is there any other way to get a drake sword without shoting it's tail because i dont wanna go to undead parish anymore if i dont get the drake sword (im outta arrows) or does the dragon come back later?
There is an undead merchant in Undead Burg who sells arrows. Look for a entrance behind some boxes next to two hollow pikemen, close to the Burg bonfire.
You can also try to just bait the dragon on the bridge and hit the tail with a melee weapon.
Now I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this dragon (drake is a type of dragon) is only here because you're in the realm of the undead... I haven't actually rang any bells yet so I'm only guessing, but it makes sense :)
my favorite video so far. "and the dragons were no more", i though the same thing when i started the game. so i assumed that there were no epic dragon fights.....wrong.
@evilmonkeylords Incorrect. You move faster with less things EQUIPPED. If it's not on your character, it doesn't matter. Look at "equip load" in your status window.
@HowcastGaming Really? seems different from other games where too much stuff in your bags made you slow... hmm. I havnt played this game I was just sort of guessing that it did with references from other games however this isn't like other RPG games... it requires more strategy,skill and timing. Sorry if my comment came off as rude I like the videos so far :)
You keep complaining about dying all the time, but it's your own fault. You are very slow to react and you constantly try to backstab everything. Also, don't be in such a hurry. You walk right by a lot of areas without exploring them.
At this point you could have easily gotten the drake sword, which has incredible stats for this point in the game(+200 attack). All you need is a bow and about 25 arrows give or take.
When you're on a ladder just slide by pressing circle, it's really helpful :D Oh btw press R1*still on ladder* you attack the upper part of the ladder :P
Great video man informative and funny. what makes it so good is that your emotion is genuine and like me you hate this game but just can't stop playing it i keep just having one more go before bed then 4 hours later i'm still saying one more go i'll keep watching all your videos's keep them up.The only problem i have with playing this is my joypad decided that sometimes i can run and sometimes decides it can't be arsed leaving me with a painful death again and again and again.
this was the vid I was looking for! I tried to dodge the dragon going under which was probably why the gates on the other side of the bonfire are locked
I think you have truely captured the average player "I hate this dragon I hate this game" Thats exactly what they were going for when they made it loved this vid helped me alot
@jamesjiao When you get a humanity, it goes in the counter at the top left by your health. Let's call that the "inventory". It'll randomly drop from enemies, or you can get it as an item too. If you spend a humanity to reverse hollowing, you become human. As a human, the more humanity you have in your 'inventory', the higher your loot drop rates will be, as well as curse resist. Also, you can only kindle a fire, summon phantoms, or invade other players while human. Hope that helps.
@HowcastGaming Thanks for the explanation. Is there a time limit on how long you can stay human once you've reversed the hollowing, and does any in-game event cancels the humanity effect?
@HowcastGaming Hm, I've always thought that reverse hallowing was a process where in doing so would gradually increase item dropped rate--regardless of how many humanities you had in your inventory?
This is a stupid question, but I'm a newbie so... how do you farm souls? You just stay in an area, kill all the enemies, return to the bonfire and do it all over again? For some reason I never seem to have Req souls to level up anything.
@Percilitor Yes that's how you farm souls. Video 19 shows an easy way to do it for early in the game. If you aren't up to that part though, find an area with enemies that you can kill without too much risk, but who aren't so easy that they aren't dropping enough souls to be worthwhile. This is also how you farm for items. Maybe I should do a "Dark Souls for newbies" video?
@CocktotheY I think a Drake is more like what is known as a Wyvern, some sort of cousin to the dragons, like what foxes are to dogs or what dogs are to wolves.
@CocktotheY In game description of the drake sword :
"This sword, one of the rare dragon weapons, is formed by a drake's tail. Drakes are seen as undeveloped imitators of the dragons, but in they are likely their distant kin. The sword is imbued with a mystical power, to be released when held with both hands."
@Griffin519x where did you get that info from, cos its totally wrong, there is a whole area in this game called valley of the drakes and all the drakes have wings.....
I killed the thing in one shot because of some random bug. I shot it in the back from the tower that had the black knight on top, the thing took off, flew through the bridge and vanished, 30 secs later i heard a roar and got 10k souls.
Kina lame since i wanted to kill the thing in a fair fight.
I got a similar buggy win against the goat demon who fell off the fucking wall while trying to charge me.
Sure hope neither the dragon nor the goat guy had any necesarry drops.
" I hate this game! I hate that dragon! I hate this game!" yup, thats dark souls for you. I dont know bout everyone else, but ill watch your videos until you dont have anymore.
i hated the dragon too until i heard u should shoot his tail 15-20 times and get a great weapon eraly in the game. i killed the dragon with a bow from the spot where the gold knight was in the tower . you get 10k souls for killing the dragon!
Great videos. I'm serious. This playthrough is so raw it hurts, and your angst is so genuine and heartfelt that, "My eyes, the goggles do nothing." Your adventures in Dark Souls are pretty much like my real life. At this rate, I figure you should finish in around a thousand videos. I shall watch every, single, one.
@HowcastGaming thank u for getting back to me about Rage. but hey Rob i love ur rage vids but it seems like there is a lot missing, in my opinion i would love commentary, and to see everything u cut out like u visting the store and exploring. Thats just what i think, if any one else agrees thumbs up.
i read up the history of dark souls and all dragons in this game (accept for seith the scaleless) have actualy turned undead/lost sanity after their race was wipped out.
@whiteheartblackwings So technically, there are still dragons out there. They're just different. But when you're getting burned or otherwise killed, a dragon is a dragon.
@mickroch726 I (Rob) am covering Rage while Steve is covering Dark Souls. There will be more Rage (hopefully a lot more) coming tomorrow morning and I'll be uploading through the weekend until the game is complete.
@TrueRockNRolla Yeah, I know about this trick. But I already went into the room under the dragon so he flies away and only comes back every other time or something like that. There's another way to do it, if you go to that room, you run out to the bridge, if he comes, run and hide, and if he doesn't just relight the bonfire. It might even be faster, I'm not sure.
The thing is, I have to keep the progress going, so I don't really have time to sit and farm. But I did do a little today.
@HowcastGaming walk back to the middle of the bridge and he comes back then go under the bridge kill the 2 guys, then on the right u see the tail, get like 20 arrows from the vendor aand shoot the tail till u get the drake sword, it does 200 damage, well worth it made my game so much better :)
You can farm those 300 souls on the bridge. Run to the bonfire, enemies respawn, run up to the bridge, dragon breathes fire, 300 souls. Rinse and repeat as much as you want.
