What to do after you ring the second bell?

[Munchies]

So. I got up and rang the first bell and then got down and rang the second bell.

Now I am lvl 42 and I have no idea where to go.

Before you say - use google. I allready did and I know I have to go to the half snake people that are right after the bonfire near the blacksmith. But they are too powerfull for me. It takes me about 15 minutes to kill the first two and I am not sure if I want to go further. I read that I must be about lvl 50 when I have finished with the two bells but I am not even close.

What have I missed? I went in the forest and the huge knights are killing me with one blow even when I block or dash.

Where should I go and what should I do. Im sick of fighting the low level scum that gives about 60 - 100 souls when I need about 10 000 to level up.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Level is one thing - but what are your stats and is your gear upgraded? I remember that first time I was in sen's fortress on about 40 level. Remember that you can use traps to kill the snake-man. Also try and find summon signs. Yesterday I saw about 5 on the entrance of the fortress.

if it takes too long to kill those enemies then you'd probably have to upgrade your weapon, what stuff are you using?

Buy better equip, make it better( +10 at least), rise your stats.

I just checked your screenshots and..... as expected.... Drake Sword is your problem man.

EDIT: Stop spoiling the game for yourself by reading useless guides.

Guides can really help you. As for me, i dont have so much time to discover all locations on 100% without help, that i can take from guides. But equip better chose by yourself, such one that you will realy like. Sorry for bad eng :3

Yup, Sen's fortress is where you are supposed to go, and level 50 here ? Nah, around 45, 50 is for the next part
You can level up by going into the forest (the way right ahead of Andre the Blacksmith) :

• a titanite demon is guarding this pass, he gives a decent amount of xp
  
• after the demon, when you enter in the forest, if you go to your right after the first ent (where there is water on the floor) you can fight an hydra : it deals a lot of damage but the attack patern is always the same and you can kill it easely once you're used to it
  
• if you don't go to the right but ahead, you'll end up to the door closed with the Artorias symbol (buyable 20 000 souls to Andre), there is an illusory wall with a fire just next to the pile of bricks
  
  • once you're here, you can pass the door requiring the symbol, you will have to fight forest guardians (they're not hard but you often agro 2), they give a nice amount of xp (2k-5k per guardian, if I remember well)
    
  • else you can take the path just near the door, you will end in an area with multiple ennemies giving correct xp, and a boss (that gives not so much for a boss, but, well, he's not hard to kill)

I hope it helps
GL HF !

I got help once and it got me in the middle of some part of the game that I am not supposed to be at all because the person I was playing with was one shot killing everything :D

I am indeed a noob so I want to appologise for stupid explanation about the things in the game in advance I still don't know the names of everything.

My weapon is a curved sword +5 (that means I have upgrated it 5 times I guess) with a B grade for Dexterity so I am leveling up that skill - Which by the description is the one for short swords.

Also I killed a knight in the forest by accident - it fell off to it's death - and got a super strong two handed curved sword or something from it that I can not use because I don't have enough power and dexterity.

Also I spent 20 000 souls in order to open a gate in the forest only to find out that it is full of ghosts knights and wizards that can shoot ...

I freaking love this game. It is so hardcore I have to ask people for help in the forums.

[Munchies]

So basically I have to grind some and upgrade my sword ...

Thank god I didn't listen to the random people in internet telling me to kill the blacksmith.

[KarBer]

at this point in game you should be able to take your sword to +10. There is large ember in the depths near the first butcher (in a chest behind the table). And slimes (also in the depths) can drop you large titanite shard necessery to upgrade your weapon to +10. You then give the large ember to blacksmith Andre and modify equipement. And then reinforce to +10.

Black Knight Halberd, on of the best items in term of physical damage, try to up your stats to use it and the game will be a lot funnier and a bit easier

That's waht I was talking about
The first knight you met is unique, once you killed him, he doesn't respawn
The caster is not unique, gives 2k souls and you can easely backstab him when he is charging his spell
The thief often stand in front of you, waiting for you to hit his shield : do a kick then hit him
The priest is annoying, you must make him loose life and when he is backing, run and backstab him (he is canalysing a heal spell)
The barbarian, well, he often fell from the cliff alone (stand near the cliff and wait for him to jump) (you can help him to fall with a kick)

Oh, what are you talking about? You can run close to all of them and return to the stairs. Go to the corner - and they will jump on you and fall down, you will earn souls... so much time as you wish.

Yeah... You can also do that ... xD

Just remember OP, throw away the Drake Sword.

If you really need to be a cheesy bastard and blitz through the early game, just join the gravelords.
