Demon's Souls

To cast magic, you need a catalyst. To use miracles, you need a talisman.

Is the catalyst obtainable relatively soon? I learned a spell, but it's just sitting there taunting me.

I believe I got the one that was located in 3-1.

I would also like to give a shout out to my friend the fire breathing dragon -

HEY!
FUCK YOU!

Never had much of a problem with the fire-breathing dragon. Then again, I'm a thief.

It seems like every time anybody complains about something difficult with this game, I usually didn't have a problem with it because I'm a thief. I didn't even have to take off all of my armor and crap to run fast enough to not get burnt by the dragon.

Glad to see this game reviewing so well by fans and critics alike - it really is the best game on the PS3...

I have to disagree with you there (Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction).

The second dragon is meaner than the first. He killed me over and over until I finally got all the timings down (I'm at <50% equip).

Finally beat all the bosses yesterday. I did end up cheesing out on Old King Allant. I just didn't feel like dying again and again after dealing with the Blue Dragon.

Oooo baby. I beat Tower Knight earlier today, that was a rush. Got Armored Spider down too, but he wasn't too bad, just beat him down with a crossbow from far away. This game definitely has its hooks into me now.

Hurray! I beat it today! Just about the most...disappointing final boss ever though I'm going through on NG+ again, at least to see if I can get more trophies. I think I'll play through as a magic user someday as well.

Ugh, I just played for 90 minutes on the first level with a barbarian, and let's just say that I got as far as if I had not even turned the PS3 on. When I first bought the game a couple weeks back I started out as an archer and while I didn't complete the first level, I managed to get much farther than I did tonight and didn't die once. I ended up shutting it off at the time because I didn't like the mechanics of the bow and figured I'd try something else when I was done with U2.

Well I finished U2 the other day and wanted to try DS again. Man, I must be doing something incredibly wrong because I barely got to the first part of the interior "castle" on 1-1. I kept dieing, and I eventually ran so low on HP herbs and patience that I had to turn it off. I was trying to be careful and set myself up for timely attacks, but it seemed like every time I went to swing my club the enemy would get a slash in at the same time. I would kill one guy and need to heal to prepare for the next guy!

Please tell me there's something to look forward to. I realize I probably didn't pick the best equipped character, but for god's sake, there has to be some way for a barbarian to succeed in the early stages of the game....
