Now I am on to farming the Darkwraiths of New Londo Ruins in the hopes of getting a Titanite Slab (or two). So far all I have gotten is 35 titanite chunks, which I don't need.

I just finished up the Oolacile DLC content. It was probably one of my favorite areas. The bosses were pretty great.
I joined the Blade of the Darkmoon covenant to try out some PvP invasions. I was terrible and lost every single one. Of course my build was not in any way optimized for it.
I guess after 115 hours, I should just go and finish it so I can start NG+ and do it all over again. This time I want to get all the NPC storylines to their completion.

There was recently (last week) a big "go back and play ds1!" coordinated thing so hopefully you're seeing more people playing.

Yeah, but since I use the the connectivity mod, I've always had quite a few other players available. But it is cool to get some of the early game stuff like hearing the Undead Parish bell being rung.

Can't even get help due to the preponderance of invasions the second I become human in Darkroot Garden. I'll figure it out eventually.
While pondering, I started again with a melee build. Suddenly realised the Capra Demon goes down OK as long as you have a decent +5 weapon with lightning and the wolf ring + Havel's Ring to speed up your movement. A decent stable shield is a good idea as well..
Now back to Sif.

The trick, eventually, was to use an alluring skull to divert him, kill the dogs, run up the stairs and then fuck him over by jumping on him repeatedly. Without the alluring skull, it was too fast to do anything and the dogs would always get me in the back.
Looks like Sif is going to go down if I strip off all my armor and run like hell towards her, rolling all the way. Then attack from underneath.
We will see. What fun.

Sif took me a while, but eventually I figured it out.
Another funny thing, as soon as I got the Greatshield of Artorias, I pretty much never rolled again. Its stability is so high that I just block any incoming attack and don't lose all that much stamina.

Still trying to figure out Sif.

The same thing just happened to me. I've been running most of my NG+ playthrough as human. I got invaded twice before I even got to Alvina. One was a regular invader, and I'm guessing the other was a Forest Hunter since he was blue (and immediately invaded after the first guy). I killed both of those assholes. Then I just booked it to Sif.
First try, took no damage. The Greatshield of Artorias once again let me just breeze through it. Each swing she took removed maybe an inch of stamina. I hit her after each SWING pause SWING attack. Just had to wait her out. I really need to start another playthrough with a non-melee based character. Need to get away from tanking. Need to get back into the spirit of it.

My second character is L22 with a +8 Battleaxe. Trying her with Power Within and getting stuck in 2 handed with no shield. Can get her down half way. Need to work on healing timings. Got that ring where you can ninja backflip which really helps.
What is this fuck off shield you speak of?

I saw an invader doing that. What ring is it? I obviously missed it.

It's a shield you make with Sif's soul (while an amusing observation, it doesn't really help you).

I'm not sure if I'll finish this playthrough. I'll probably start on Dark Souls II when my GeForce 1070 arrives later this week.
