Dark Souls Hype Thread of Preparing To Die!

[MrHealthy]

OP updated to reflect the new info. Plus some other minor additions.

It took me 3 straight hours of farming the Dual Katana Black Skeleton Black Phantom in 4-2 with Pure Black Word Tendency to get my pure bladestone. Which I hear is actually a very short time for that trophy.

I have the NA version, but I am like soul level 160 or such, so I doubt we could actually meet up. Plus, I've been avoiding playing online in NG+ so I can maintain my world tendency. Otherwise I would have loved to co-op with you.

Looks like Bamco took a page from Atlus's book to give us a pimped out version. This is the kind of thing I like to see.

Pre Ordered 2 weeks ago. What is the console everyone is getting it on? Im getting the PS3 one.

[flex wood]

damn damn damn im broke right now any chance the special edition pre orders will be gone next week?

with my luck they will be

[MrHealthy]

As far as we know the deal last until the day before release. Of course I wouldn't wait that long, as they might actually not have enough special edition on release day. If you have a credit card and are okay with potentially waiting on it to ship, pre-order online, as it doesn't get charged to your card until it ships.

@SuperAnthony64, Im going PS3 as well. Its the lead platform and I would prefer to have the trophies next to my Demon's Souls ones.

Good to know they'll now have them on release day

so I just pre ordered from gamestop today and a clerk mentioned the rune puzzle at preparetodie.com. supposedly you get a code for an ingame unlock if you complete the puzzle. I tried it and its really hard, stupid impossible hard. Quick search I ended up finding this pic which has a hack to get the rune puzzle correct. Im not sure if it will work or destroy my computer. So if anyone could give it a look over and make sure Im not gonna ruin anything I would be very thankful since I really don't know enough about computers.

edit the file is too big to upload I will copy the instructions later and put them up

[MrEco]

If you don't mind I am going to start drooling now.

I did one of the 'hacks' and it worked. Because of it I also got a piece of an image recently. 4chan seems to be peicing them together. Looks like it will be a wallpaper. I'll post the email latter today.

[flex wood]

yea i got the image from /v/ actually and had my roommate look over it and he said it looks legit (he's a high up IT guy for a pretty large bank) so I trust him on that.

wallpaper? I thought it was for an ingame unlock? No word on what that will be?

Mr eco that video makes me want
