The BBS by itself deals normal damage (using Luck as the normal damage stat) so the Knight Shield +10 works. Only when its enchanted does it deal its Magic Damage.

Oi, check that. BBS deals magic damage even without enchantments.

all is good now just had to level a bit...

Darn, having not played for a while is really ruining me. D:

I do know that Luck increases BBS damage when it isn't enchanted.

Do crystal geckos repop if they get away?

Sure, if you havent killed them all 3 times (and they kill themselves instead). If you did kill them 3 times, they won't respawn until NG+.

[Ulic Qeldroma]

thank you.. just had one finally respawn..

[Jask]

Crystal lizards have spawn counters. I believe they all start the game with one, which is used when they first spawn. Every time they die or get away it decreases by one. Killing a boss increases it by three. I don't remember what else affects it, if anything.

[Mr. Popo]

Er...no?

BBS deals physical and magic damage.

The magic damage is why it is so good with LW.

I started 3-2 last night. I did the first chain holding the heart up but wasn't sure where to go after that.
When I first got into 3-2 I put my blue stone down then about 4mins later I got a message "you are being summoned as a black phantom".
I was like "WTF? I used a blue stone!" but then I remember the boss of 3-3 will summon you to become the sub-boss in 3-3
if you put a blue stone down in 3.

I got summoned and they put that stupid cyclone hat on me....
I fought the player as a sub-boss and got my butt kicked, he had some faith build which pwned.

It was a tense experience standing in the last room waiting for the player to come in,
not knowing what I'd be facing.

I love being the boss, it's so fun! There have been a couple times people have seen me in there with Meat Cleaver and just quit. That made me sad. The closest call I had was this one guy spamming fire pillar. I eventually beat him. I haven't actually died while doing it. I kinda feel a little bad for that... Maybe I should go easy on someone. I really want to fight someone with my new gear and see how much they freak out to come in and see someone in Binded armor dual wielding Guillotine Axes.

So yeah, I took out Miranda in both tendancies yesterday and got my second Guillotine Axe. One is currently at Blessed+1, the other at Dragon+1. I'm kind of regretting not keeping one at normal, but oh well. I can always try for another one later.

I went and killed Maiden Astraea last night for the bbs, havent killed flamelurker yet so i can make it. Whats some good low level armor? Also whats a good place to farm souls cause i need to level up so i can use bbs?

Armor wont truly matter... I'd recommend the Shaman Gear (just for minor defense) or Wizard Suit (again, minor defense); these are very light and allow you to roll. Most of game can be done without armor.

For farming souls in New Game (Not NG+ or after), clear 1-3 and start from Penetrator Archstone, go backwards and kill the 3 Red-Eyed Knights; run back to archstone and reset spawns or evacuate and do same. I prefer using Ring of Avarice (costs 50k souls from vendor in 3-1; find it for free in 3-2 or 3-3).

Cool thanks for the info... just beat flamelurker hardest boss ive fought yet.. now i can make bbs, just cant use it yet lol.

Hopefully your character is set for BBS minimum requirements. Don't try to make your character a master of everything.

[Jask]

Not sure about in NG, but 4-2 and 4-3 are amazing for farming souls in the first playthrough. In 4-2 you murder your way through the first two gold skeletons, then jump off the cliff and repeat. Should net you around 10-20k souls, especially if you have the Ring of Avarice. For 4-3 you just go in and kill the stormriders.

i love being the boss xD i remember it summoned me one time an the guy i was facing had two blue phantoms with him. i was all like "aww shit"

it was so sad cause i won. i was using my mage build and homing soul arrow 1hit ko a blue phantom while i meleed the other blue phantom to death. Then the actual guy i was supposed to kill kept running away until eventually i got him in a corner and killed him. best experience as that boss eva

How did you change your tendancy to get both? My player tenancy just seems to stay neutral.
Also what's your build like? I'd like to make a second character thats a heavy hitter like your character.

[LoneSyndal]

Hmm, define heavy hitter as High Magic or High Normal. I can probably help you with the rest after giving me description of weapons you want to use.


As for tendency: the more bosses you kill in that world, the Whiter your tendency gets. PWWT is I think +3 from neutral, so about three bosses. PBWT requires -4, meaning die in body form until you reach the max. (Each boss is +1, each body form death is -1).

[Halcyon Dtier]

I'd like to make a melee heavy hitter.

Something powerful but not too hard to play.

I think I've died to many times in body form to get white on my player.
