If you didn't find her, but got to the Brushwood set, that's somewhat odd. You're sure you've never killed her before? Usually she jumps you the moment you walk in the door. As an alternative, it may be possible that the door stays open forever, so long as you've obtained PWWT or PBWT. I haven't confirmed this, but I know certain areas do. So, it could mean your WT changed, and she'll return to her usual spot if you return it to the proper level.

No the door does not stay open, it will close. Meanwhile it is possible for her to fall off the ledge inside and you just not notice. She did that one me once. Sadly this resulted in her falling in the section with no bottom and her drop was obviously not retrievable.

I have a question regarding the Blueblood sword. I do know that it scales with Luck and I also know that there is a point at which stacking Luck for the bonus isn't worth it. So how high does your luck really need to be to get the most of out a Blueblood sword?

If Miralda didn't appear you may have killed her allready or she may have fell into the pit. Do you by chance have the executioners axe or her "Binded" armor set? Sometimes even though she has died she will leave these items behind.

No she wasnt there at all thanks for the help btw again =D. But no i killed all her dreds and went in nothing "jumped" at me nothing happened other than going down stairs and ladders (and this is on when it FIRST opened for me so idk how my WT would have changed by just walking through the gate)

CoachP9 · 11-03-2009, 08:46 AM

I don't think this is so newbie, but instead of making a new thread....

1) Light Weapon spell....does it work....? Equip catalyst in left hand, weapon in right. Cast. Make stupid "glance at useless" stick move. Repeat. Nothing happens. I tried it with a different weapon in case my current one is not eligible for some reason...hope I didn't waste the Penetrator soul on something borken.

2) While moving through the area to the right from the big stairs (1-3) after the dogs, I was kicking some assassin's asses in, and then at a point I had my +3 sticky long bow equipped in my left hand, the catalyst in the right, and suddenly it looked like I had a red pony tail. there was this red lick of flame coming out of the back of my head. Haven't seen it before or since. This may have been tied to the PBWT... WTH?

Balfor · 11-03-2009, 08:51 AM

1. yes it works. it will not work on ranged weapons, nor will it work on weapons that do magic or fire damage. i normally use it with a spear or a polearm as those are the melee weapons i prefer to use. though lately i have been using curse weapon instead for pvp reasons(go go 1shot kill on backstabs to blues). light weapon also scales with your magic stat, so if you have a high magic stat, it will do far more for you than cursed weapon will.

2. did you have ring of avarice equipped?

CoachP9 · 11-03-2009, 08:53 AM

Yes I probably did, but the fire did not appear with other combos of items...probably because they had other visible effects (my flamskfjsdfljs whatever, weapon, which I cannot remember the name of, has bleeding effect, and I have the adjudicators shield usually)

Balfor · 11-03-2009, 08:57 AM

i normally notice that flame only when i have the ring of avarice on, but there are certain combinations of items that seem to generate it as well.

Karkarov, I have had that door stay open for me. I got the Bushwood set long after killing Miralda and I'm positive my world wasn't in PB or PW at the time I grabbed it.

Deathshero · 11-03-2009, 12:34 PM

So I picked up this game last week and I must say I am loving it. I have tried Knight/Hunter/Royalty but I have some questions.

My 1st guy was a Knight and I enjoyed the armor, melee, and shield but range was a pain sometimes. So I decided lets try Royalty, soul arrow made things waaaay to easy for the start. It was fun being able to melee but I didn't like the melee of Royalty and armor. So I tried Hunter last night and I think this is what I am going to stick with but I always find myself wishing I had the armor of my Knight. So this leads to my questions:

Is is possible to level a specific stat to wear the heavier armors? As a Melee what spells do you find that you normally purchase? Any other class you think i should look into? If I look to go Melee heavy, what stats other besides STR/VIT should I focus on?

I know what I said before sounds like I want it all but I really do enjoy those classes I have tried and my complains are just minor. Almost forgot, what is the best way to take out the guys in 2-1? It seems to take forever to kill stuff as melee.

Balfor · 11-03-2009, 01:00 PM

as a melee(especially one that wants to use heavy armor) you want STR, VIT, END, DEX first and foremost. STR and DEX help with your damage, VIT is your hp, END gives you more stamina. also, one of those stats effect how much weight you can carry on you(inventory) another effects how much weight you can equip, and another lets you use the bigger weapons/shields effectively.

Deathshero · 11-03-2009, 01:14 PM

So once I get more souls and level up those stats, I will be able to wear the armor I want at some point. That's good to know

Thanks for the input on that.

Balfor · 11-03-2009, 01:29 PM

any character can wear any armor, use any weapon, and learn/cast any magic in the game. you just have to spec your stats correctly for whatever you want to use.

Gamefanatic · 11-03-2009, 02:53 PM

ANOTHER question. What makes my strength vary so much in between leveling up? Why I ask, why does it do that? I noticed it while upgrading my stats with the Maiden.. One time it's 400, the next time I go, my strength is something like 244. I'm guessing perhaps CT has something to do with it..but whatever I'm doing I'm affecting my strength in HUGE numbers. This also seems to affect the amount of damage each weapon does...

Um...it's not your Strength that is changing. Considering the nature of your question, I'm going to take a guess, and assume you're referring to your HP. I can think of nothing else which would change so drastically from the Maiden's Stat Upgrade screen. If this is, in fact, accurate, you'll notice the change when upgrading your Vitality. When you upgrade your Vitality, it shows the max HP you'll receive in your current state. So if you're in Soul Form, it will be notably lower than if you're in Body Form.

Other than that, I'm at a loss. A more accurate term for those numbers would help. =X

Gamefanatic · 11-03-2009, 03:33 PM

I was close. Under the strength category, there is attack power. This is what I am referring to. Huge swings in attack power goin on over here...

Gamefanatic · 11-03-2009, 05:14 PM

Ok, I figured it out. Attacking power is affected by what weapon you currently have in use and is displayed under the strength category while kneeling to the Maiden... yay I answered my own question.

Haha, yeah, that would definitely change it. Yay for self-solving! =D

Deathshero · 11-04-2009, 08:09 AM

/sigh Sorry more questions... Started as a new Royalty last night and things are going much better this time around. I was able to get the Purple Flame Shield but can't use it yet. I plan on making him very melee heavy. Since I am new, I have been looking at the different post and wiki to find out about weapons and armors I should be going for but it is still a bit confusing. It seems to be able to use most good melee weapons I need to get my STR to 30 at least right? I like quick attacks that flow (like the Knight when you start) what weapons should I be going for? Also since I have Soul Arrow but plan to focus on melee mainly, should I pick up Enchanted Weapon? Last question, I have finished 1-1 and 2-1, from what I have seen if I want to soul farm, 4-1 would be my best area right now? Again sorry for so many question, getting the hang of this slowly.

Actually this isn't entirely true, there are some armors that are gender specific. It doesn't matter what your stats are, a male of any kind isn't going to be able to wear dull gold armor.

If you are a male character it is best to lock this in the vault as soon as you get it. I often times forget about the armor I pick up and wonder why the heck my item burden is so high then realize I am carrying around useless crap.

You can kill the dragon with magic, probably in less time then with the bow.
Just find a good place on the first tower in 1-2, time your shots and dont try to use lock-on.
I did it depleting my manapool maybe 4,5 times. So bring alot of MP-flasks.

Deacon · 11-05-2009, 09:01 PM

My NPCs are not showing up in 2-2 patches is missing and wasnt there to "trick" me with the bug and in 4-1 the grave robber is missing as well i JUST opened his cell and found NOTHING any ideas as to why and will this prevent me from 4-2 with patches as well?

Warpigz · 11-06-2009, 04:39 AM

18. Enter the now-crushed heart tower and go right and proceed down the stairs outside to reach this point, being careful of the new Face Bugs. I suggest taking a counter-clockwise path through this inner area. This puts you behind a number of the Face Bugs inside. For your troubles you get a Ring of Avarice(+20% soul from defeated enemies) a Gold Mask(trade for a Colorless Demon Soul in 4-1), an Epee Rapier(does physical and fire damage, and can be used with a shield raised), and some Souls and Old Spice and a Stone of Ephemeral Eyes. When done, return to the previous area and climb the tower again. <-------------- is this correct? if im going into the heart tower an go right its a dead end if go left an up its to the boss, so am i going somewhere wrong. thanks in advance

From the entrance to the central tower, take a right and smash the pots until you return back outside, turn immediately to your right again, and smash the pots there. You'll find the stairs it's referring too.

Bumping for the one trillion people who just joined the site. Try to ask your quick questions here.

69boo307 · 11-17-2009, 09:02 AM

Here's my newbie question: I completed 1-1 and 1-2, plus killed the red dragon so it won't be harrassing me any more

. I am using a female wanderer dex based build, I think my soul level is around 15 now. Armed currently with spiked shield +1, falchion +5, compound bow +5, and a winged spear that I'm going to work on. I also got Soul Arrow which proved very useful in killing the red eye knight in 1-1. I did not however try Doran yet (I rescued Ostrava and have the key though).

My question is, where's the best level to go to next? Should I attempt Doran? Should I gather some loot at the dragon's roost in 1-1, since I've killed the red one?

Wolfram · 11-17-2009, 09:37 AM

The great part about this game is you can do it any order you like. I do recommend waiting to go into valley of defilement as you'll need poison and plague resistances. If you do 2-1 you can open up the area to Ed the blacksmith and he can do a lot more upgrades than the blacksmith in the nexus. You may consider simply looking at a wiki to see if there's any interesting gear to find but really just have fun in all the worlds, typically the x-1 levels are easiest so you may want to do the first part of every world. For 3-1 there's a lot of magic enemies, world 2 has a lot of fire enemies. Since it's your first char all I can really suggest is get out there and don't be afraid! I just beat my first play through, took my sweet ass time to collect stuff and it was so worthwhile. This game takes a good while to master and understand all the elements like world tendancies.

pipicoke · 11-25-2009, 08:25 PM

Thanks for the newbie thread.

1. Why can't I see block values for shields? The wiki lists them, but I don't see those numbers in game. What I do see appear to be shield slam values.

2. Are "named" weapons always better than generic weapons that have been upgraded? I'm trying to decide if it's worth upgrading a very "early" weapon, such as the short sword, or if I should upgrade only "named" weapons.

Azrael · 11-25-2009, 08:55 PM

i could not save him in 1-1 so that means despite getting the masoleum key, i still cannot get access to yuri the witch and all her killer spells, right?

i am a level 32 royal as i could not put the game down and my other friends say i should start over. PLEASE ADVISE!

Balerion · 11-27-2009, 12:09 AM

Ah good topic, wish I saw it earlier. Anyway, I need to ask a question about trophies to which I didn't find answer so far.

Let's say I want to get the sage/saint's/rogue's/soldier's trophy, do I have to get all the needed stuff with one char or does it work even if I get half the stuff with one char and the other half with another char? (for example, if I'm missing 5 weapons with one char to get the trophy, will I get it if I get those 5 weapons with another char, thus "holding" them? Or it doesn't count this way?)

So does it count per account or per character?

thanks
