Is there a way to make my fireballs go farther? Was just able to start playing again and I'm running around undead parish as pyromancer and mad when my spells land short even when I feel like I'm close enough. Though I found an awesome shield which is making it easier somewhat.

Dammit I was in the catacombs giving the blacksmith an ember and one of the rolling skeletons killed him. :angry: I guess I'm fu... right?

You are screwed. I've heard there is a way to bring people back to life for an crazy amount of souls though I have no idea how.

Damn I was ready to give him the embers and make my fire weapon. You can give the tower guy souls to absolve your sins but that doesn't revive them. I killed Eingyi (He/She looks like an enemy :/) and did the sins thing and he/she still dead. I guess I have to wait until NG+. I'm going to kill all NPC before the final boss. :devil:

What I was planning on doing. Get some humanity and souls before NG+, just leave the Fire Keeper in Firelink alive in case you die. Also be able to snag a few more Fire Keeper souls and get your flasks up some more.

One boss to go, then it's just farming to make each of the weapons I can this play through and onward to NG+. Really want to start NG+ already, I can't wait.

And if anyone trying to get the tail weapon off of Seath, you can kill him if w/o chopping off tail while solo focusing on his tail. :( Think I'll use a different weapon than my greataxe hitting him for 550+. :(

I couldn't get the weapon. :/ My Zweihander was hitting for something like that too and I killed him.

Well, did everything I could do. All the max weapon upgrades I need slabs for, and I don't feel like grinding for them. I'll just use the 2nd play through to make those. So only to kill Gwyndolin who is a pain. If you can mesmerize what his attacks look like you'll figure out which one you can parry. Doing that it would take 2 parry's and 1 Great Chaos Fireball and I had him like basically dead, then he do his stupid quad move, followed by his darth vadar choke hold and that instant double dash. So annoying, the entire game never got a boss so low so many times w/o killing him.

I beat him! Figured out you can counter nearly all his attacks, so just parried him and when he was getting up, hit him with a Great Chaos Fireball. Went down in 3 parry's and 2 fire balls. Time to start NG+!

Man, that 90 minute run through is insanely impressive. Tried to follow in his footsteps... failed at the cutting of the dragons tale. But this character build is just awesome. I played up to killing Queelag just as him, increased my pryo hand to +11 before reaching soul level 4. Now I'm at 6 hours of game play, with a lvl 37 pyro, who has caught up to my other 2 chars of almost the same level, but having well over 40+ hours of gameplay.

Amazing how much more quickly as you learn it. But the pyro build is really OP lol.

Ya, im going to go for that. Is it 22k of souls at +15?

11 is 14000

12 is 16000

13 is 19000

14 is 22000

15 is 25000

And then once you get it there a NPC will appear in Blightown (before killing Lost Izalith boss) that can Ascend it to +5:

2500 for initial conversion

1 is 27000

2 is 30000

3 is 33000

4 is 36000

5 is 40000

It's alot of souls but its so worth it, because +5 has a magic adjust of 270, which is beast.

Actually, that NPC will show up once you have hit +10 on your pyro hand. I didn't realize it until last night. Was at +9, running all around the swamps of blighttown, and she wasn't where she was supposed to be. Read that you had to have +15 as well. So I ran and upgraded my hand to +10, and on my way back, noticed she was there. Was able to get all my chaos spells and high lvl spells. Of course, to do that, I killed the blacksmith and took his crest and then farmed it up in the woods a bit :p. All the spells were worth the 80k of souls though.

I'm a little peeved though, as I forgot to buy the shielded I needed before I killed the blacksmith. I'm sure I can still fair easily enough through the rest of the game without it, but it does help quite a bit i've seen.

Started a new character, this time a pyro, instead of continuing with NG+. Playing most of the time as human. I rarely played as human in my first gameplay and missed all the black phantoms and the multiplayer. Knight Solitaire is an idiot. He got killed in Gaping Demon battle. Is he dead now?

No. He'll be there for Anor Londo boss and I wanna say Demon Ruins. If you save him in Lost Izalith he'll also be there during final boss.

When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.

      It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.
