I personally don't like the 'proper' halberds, their scaling is awful and their movesets feel clumsy. The Great Scythe and Lifehunt Scythe are both technically halberds though, both of those...

I'd be quite willing to bet an enormous number of players quit in frustration right at the beginning when they realised nothing was going to tell them where to go. The game quite irritated me at...

Against normal trash enemies I tend to block a fair bit, for only 16 strength you can equip the best medium shields which soak their attacks with zero difficulty. And you won't never be blocking in...

Go for a dex build if avoidance and low weight have been your thing so far. That means going for quick weapons that can safely exploit enemy weaknesses. With low poise (ie. you get staggered easily,...

Definitely play the first two, I enjoyed the atmosphere and narrative a lot more in those. The third is basically a movie for PC that reluctantly lets you play occasionally.

The place with the trees (Ash Lake wasn't it? Something like that anyway) is amazing, one of the most atmospheric locations I've ever seen in a game. The sad thing is it's entirely optional and...

I'd recommend taking your melee play to the next level and going for a paper-armoured dex character. Magic is a little bit boring in Dark Souls; even if you spec for it entirely, you simply don't...

The easiest way to farm humanity in my experience is that DLC area with millions of those giant humanity monsters, particularly since they frequently drop twin humanities rather than singles. The...

I've been invaded down in Blighttown a couple of times while I was farming for green titanite. It didn't go too well for the invaders, I was equipped with the Rusty Iron ring and full poison resist...

While I do still have a couple of characters built towards tanking boss attacks with a shield, playing the game that way feels almost cheap to me now, standing there and soaking up attacks like that....

In my experience the Kings will only engage you one at a time (at least in melee) even when there are multiple, so it's more difficult when more spawn, but far from impossible. I suppose the Four...

You're a strange one :P. Most people (myself included) think very little of the BK Halberd move set. Personally I'd advise using the Zweihander if you want some big hits from a two-hander, 24...

I actually appreciate that they're using a very clean, simplistic graphical style. It means I can have absurdly large battles without murdering my PC, it also helps me believe that they're trying to...

As a general rule, if something was frustratingly difficult, the problem isn't with the game. You can do the Four Kings by gearing up to the teeth and simply wailing away until they're dead, however...

When I first started Dark Souls I needed tips on which area to head for next, I've been so comfortably in the mindset of games that simply tell you where to go that I was lost at sea when I started...

A mage character doesn't play all that differently except against bosses. Magic is so limited in Dark Souls that you can't really go firing it off against every single trash mob, particularly later...

Well the Iaito is on the low end of the scale of weapon damage, my Balder Side Sword character had a similar experience of the big enemies, sure I could hit them fast but I didn't do much damage....

This. Was doing this a few days back with the silver ring and mimic hat, it gave 12k+ souls per run, each run taking less than a minute. All you need is something with a bit of an AoE, originally I...

Yes, it'll be tragic to lose the ability to be called a "motherfucking no lifer faggot" or something similar every so often when I kill an invader.

Yeah I've tended to be disappointed in those various upgrades (diving/occult/magic/enchanted), the way bonuses to damage work in Dark Souls generally makes it a bad idea to divide your damage type....

It'd be too easy though. Try hiding behind the rock pillars Ravelle, that'll usually give you a couple of seconds to chug an estus or two.

To be honest Artorias is the kind of thing the last boss needed to be, a frantic dance to the death against an extremely fast and hard hitting boss, one which tests your abilities to the utmost but...

On my most recent playthrough(s) I've actually found Kalameet really easy. As a general rule: dodge left. All but two of his frontal moves can be easily dodged to the left and pretty much all his...

It's strange how unprepared a lot of invaders are. I had an invader in the Oolacile Township the other day who actually died to my Homing Soul Masses, being hit squarely by one then another. I was...

Regarding Blighttown, I'd say suck it up and learn it, particularly if it's your first time through. Just for God's sake equip the Spider shield, it's a drop in the depths (partially hidden passage...
