They're mostly pretty easy to solo pull. And in many cases, you can arrow them to death without them moving an inch.

Durr....I want that. I decided to switch things up from my spear & board style. Buffed up my STR, and am now using a Fire Great Axe to pancake enemies with. So much fun.

I feel like I'm making pretty good progress. As part of the STR-boosting efforts, I upgraded to a tower shield, and used that to bop the right Anor Londo archer knight off of his ledge and progress. After that, things went pretty smoothly. I actually found Ornstein & Smough to be a fairly simple fight. I got a lot of mileage out of using Smough's fat *** to block Ornstein and get him stuck on the opposite side from me. I came within moments of beating them twice solo, but couldn't quite manage against the 2nd form Ornstein (was trying to get his items). So I brought Solaire along, and accidentally had him kill Ornstein first. Decided to just go with it. Smough's 2nd form turned out much easier, even after Solaire bit it hard. 3 tries, total.

Oddly enough, I was much more frustrated with Sif. He killed me a good 4 times with that spinning double slash because the camera freaks out when you're underneath him, and I couldn't see the attack coming. Plus it takes forever to make it back to him.

Just finished the Catacombs and Painted World. Took one go at Tomb of the Giants, fell down a pit I couldn't see, got annoyed, and turned the game off.

I'm not gonna like that place.

...There are light sources in this game?

I was just slowly walking straight-ish from floaty colored light to floaty colored light......

Well, woops. Don't think I picked up a skull lantern in the Catacombs, IIRC. And since I've already placed the Lordvessel, I guess it'll be a while before I see a chance at Cast Light again. I suppose I'll go through the Demon Ruins, or whatever, then?

Derp.

You just made my morning.

Plus on my first play through I had the light spell and I missed the epic conclusion of the jolly cooperation story line because I never bothered to hunt for the sunlight maggot.

The power of the sun on your head!

I should go find my disc.

Yeah you need the divine weapon to full kill his adds then he is gravy. Kind of annoying when his aoe kills the last couple hp of a skelly though and it pops up.

Also you did not see Solaire down there by the maggots? Hmm, I wonder if you missed a place you have to summon him. Not a big deal you just get his armors and it's nothing special. Except if you care about completing NPC stories for fun.

If you've killed the maggot, and he's not gone insane in the shortcut, then you've saved him. I can't play Dark Souls anymore, GFWL thinks both of my Live accounts don't exist, or I'm using the wrong password, but I've used the same password/username combo to log into xbox.com and check that it's right, and it is.

In before

Yeah, no biggie.

Got back into playing a few weeks ago as well, because my roommates have been watching Vaatividya and EpicNameBro stuff. I'm now one trophy away from platting it, which all I need to get for that is the DMB miracle.

For the record, Manus is a ***** if you have the same Stam that you started with.
