Dark Souls help · 11:51am Jun 7th, 2012
I need serious help with Dark Souls. I'm on NG++, and I'm trying to face down the Four Kings. Sweet Jesus, it's a challenge.
If anyone has any tips, now would be a good time to give them please.
My character is a Pyromancer, and I'm more of a Vitality-Strength-Endurance-Resistance build. I'm currently wearing Havel's Ring and the Dark Wood Grain Ring (sacrificing it for the Covent of Artorias so I can enter the fight). My armour is Havel's set, sans the helmet which I've replaced with the Mask of the Father. I use my Chaos Pyromancy Glove +5 and my Black Knight Halberd +5.
Any tips at all for my character set? I should also note that I have a decently high intelligence, but not enough to use the Crystal Soul Spear (less than 44).

No. It is not Diablo. Diablo sucks. This is Dark Souls.

Very late to this, but as someone who has had experience with 7+ New games, I would suggest getting an un-upgraded Pyro glove, and pair it with Power-Within, using a good anti-magic shied (the Crest or I believe another is great against magic) block all magic and double hand attack while strafing. Strafing is key to dodge the attacks by these guys!
Kill them early, kill then fast, and ALWAYS HEAL! =p

I ended up coming up with my own tactic, and I'm on NG7 now. Though I thank you for your help, I know how to end them quickly and as painlessly (for me) as possible.
Havel's leggings, Big Hat, Witches Cloak and Travelars gauntlets as my gear. Good protection while still very light, no need for Havel's Ring, replacing it with Dark Wood Grain Ring. Two-handing a Bastard Sword 15+ with the Crystal Sword Enchantment, and the Grass Crest Sheild. In my experience, the high damage output combined with the stamina regeneration, quick movement and quicker dodging is very effective.
Ahh very nice! Just beat Gwyn on the new PC-version myself after completing the game that way, and all the new content. I must say, I loved the new areas, and the bosses, while tough at times, were more than fair.

Do you know if the Guardian's Soul actually does anything?
Every site the I have seen so far says it is 12,000 souls. The only thing else is the tail cut (which I figured would be a whip) I am saving one just in case. I know you can trade Manus' soul to Snuggly for a new Sorcery...or make his catalyst as well. But I never found any use for the Guardian soul. Personally, I wish I would have went with the sorcery first, but ehh.
Also you can get Hawkeye and Carrin's armor...but you have to be evil to get them...=/ Hawkeye is no push over either!
Here's a video on how to do the tail cut!
