I didn't know you could get the dark hand as a drop!

Anyway, great video!

The quality isn't too bad at all dude, Great job and it looks awesome lol wish I could record me playing XD

I think the quality looks pretty decent for a 360 capture card device. Most other videos have brightness issues and are very grainy - this is fine. I really recommend this capture device if you have the extra money on hand: http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-1212-Definition-Personal-Recorder/dp/B0018LX0DY

For video editing, the Vegas Pro/Movie series of software is great. The conversion just goes a lot smoother and you lose much less quality compared to other software. Give those a shot, and I think even the free Windows Moviemaker from SP1 works pretty damn well!

Good lord, I didn't know there was a shortcut to New Londo from there. I used the Valley of the Drakes way from Darkroot Basin.

Anyways, awesome video Aura, I still can't believe that your character is only level 10, yet she kicks major ass. I know how I'm going to spend my Souls now. \D

Also, how can you raise your item discovery to 410? Mine's only 300 with the ring equipped.

Aura- I'm very impressed by you. I never though you were good... Anyway, that seen a lot of farming which I hate, so doing a low level run means you need to spend a lot of hours.

How long did it take you to make Chaos Claymore? Also, to get Witch's Set you need to kill Four King. Did you use any help? Since Iron Flesh is out of the question if you are still in Patch 1.05. I will have to try and kill Four King with a SL 10, I think that is a good challenge.

I wish you have recorded that fight.

Why thank you, I try. Farming is always a pain, but to make the Chaos Claymore, you only need to re-visit the Undead Asylum (the Black Knights drop Red Titanite Chunks), and make your way through to Lost Izalith using the shortcut. Thanks to the Crystal Lizard and the Red Titanite Slab in the chest, it was more than enough to make my Chaos +5 weapon. However, one problem with this is; you have to place the Lordvessel, and when joining the Darkwraiths, means that the Four Kings have to be defeated first.

For the Four Kings I went solo, well minus about 300 damage that Witch Beatrice did. I read that to get the Witch's set you have to summon Witch Beatrice both times, so I summoned her, hung back at the start of the Four Kings fight until she got killed, then went at it alone.

So do I now, but I still have the Bed of Chaos, Seath the Scaleless, and Gravelord Nito to defeat, so I'll record them as they happen. I'm not particularly worried about the Bed of Chaos or Seath the Scaleless, but because of my low vitality, the minions of Nito might prove bothersome... maybe.

Also, I've invested over 50 hours into my low level witch character. So it's not too bad, I guess.

Wow, Aura, just wow man. Oh, so humanity can increase item discovery rate? I didn't know that. I'm always low on humanity so I wouldn't know, lol.

Also, Cangriman, Iron Flesh isn't so bad. It got a little bit nerfed and less time, but it's still pretty good. I used it to kill the Four Kings.

Yep, humanity has its uses. I've gone through about 400 units of it so far. 30 went into the Chaos Servant covenant for the pyromancy spells, another 50 odd for kindling bonfires, and more than a few hundred went to Kaathe because I had too many from PvE assists and invasions.

I haven't used Iron Flesh once with my newest character, the boost isn't enough to compliment the defence I already (don't) have. So mobility is a big thing.


Anyway, two more videos for your viewing pleasure. I'm working on a nice montage of some badass invasion ambushes, but I want them to be the sort of ambushes that make everyone think - "holy shit, did he really just pull that off?!".

The easy way to farm Dragon Scales:





A question though guys; the subtitles aren't annoying in any way are they? I'm not a huge fan of some of the commenting some people do, so I thought subtitles were the way to go. Feedback on that would be greatly appreciated.

Cangriman, I suppose it is quite a bit, but the majority of that time would have come from co-op with other players and invasions. I'd say it'd be quite possible to get as far as the Kiln at low level in about 15 hours, maybe less, which would be inclusive of the minimal amount of farming to fully upgrade a Lightning and Chaos weapon.

That's good to know, just wanted to make sure they weren't too intrusive. I just kind of wrote what I was thinking at the time of editing the video clips.

A Kaiser Baas Series 8 Recorder, which I bought from an EB Games store. Maybe it is a little overpriced, but I found it more convenient buying it from store than over the net (in case something went wrong and needed to return it).
