Dark Souls: 14 Hours and Stuck

So I need some new perspectives on this to help me get moving in Dark Souls again, as I feel like I'm treading water. I have just completed Blight Town, killed Quelaag, and now I have no idea where to go!

I am SL 35, Bastard Sword +9, Raw Battle Axe, and Drake Sword. Basically, all of my weapons have about a 200 phys dmg count, not that it ever does that much. As for my armor, I use Black Leather Assassin gear when in the swamp areas, or around heavy poison, but use Havel's Ring and heavy gear when in areas like Undead Burg or Sen's Fortress. Unfortunately, my attacks with my Bas Sword (use it 1H with a shield) do about 70 dmg to the reptiles in Sen's, and it doesn't make them stagger so they usually manage to hit me 1-2 times before I can get my block up either while attacking or after.

So here are my three options:

1) I can grind up some better weapon materials and get my Bas Sword to like +10 Normal, and level my strength abit, maybe get up to doing about 100dmg against them (which will hopefully cause them to stagger when hit!)

2) I can find another spot to go next, either GY/Catacombs or Darkroot Garden, and I haven't had much luck with either one yet

3) Restart my character... okay, not really, I don't actually have a third option at the moment, but I just feel really stuck

I need some new thoughts on this, as I have been trying to figure out what to do next for a while now. Any thoughts or advice that could help me?

I'm about to be right there as well, you can always go back and kill the dragon in the lake, get a key to unlock that door in the forest area, or there's another part that you can get to in the gardens that leads you to an elevator to an area with walking dragon type things that give a good amount of souls.

I'm sort of lost in the map as idk if I should have fought the wolf with the sword yet or not. I just got to Blight Town so I can't offer much on what is after it. How is Blight Town, I played a few minutes of it and it seemed to have upped the difficulty a bit.

for better equipment: if you kill a sword wielding black knight without getting hit, you have a good chance of getting their sword (205 base and draws mostly from strength). also, you can get a stone greatsword from the stone knights in darkroot garden. it hits for a lot of physical and magic damage, draws mostly from strength and dexterity, and sadly weighs a ton.

as for where to go, im where you are and im either going to try the stray demon in the asylum again or enter sen's fortress. actually, the area behind the sealed door in darkroot seems doable now too.

yeah, that's the one (hydra), I've yet to kill it as it seems to always kill me before I can get to it.

theres an elevator that goes between firelink shrine and the undead parish. as you start going up, theres an upper level of the shrine that you can run onto mid-lift. once there, run to the grassy area and roll off onto a buttress. from there, just climb up the stairs to the raven's nest and pretend to be an egg.

Yup know that lift, I swear I've been paying attention and seen nothing while using it. Thx for the info, gotta keep that in mind once I get to firelink again.

u see the bon fire on top of the blacksmith by the church? well go through the bridge on the floor the bon fire is, ull be in sens fortress and u go from there.........by the way u said u killed the qaulaggs demon, or w.e its called lol, so did u ring the 2nd church bell? cuz once u do that, it triggers a cut-scene and the door where i mentioned above ^^^ open and it shows u where it is.,

Definitely go to Darkroot Garden. The enemies are really fairly easy to fight and avoid the attacks, just so long as you don't let them swarm you. The boss at the end is a cakewalk as well.

Yeah, I've heard that I'm kinda blitzin through this mess, which is why I think I am going to slow down and start exploring the world itself more, rather than just trying to proceed. I ended up beating Demon's Souls my first time in just under 25 hours... don't want that to happen here if it can be avoidedEssian

Heh, I finished Demon's Souls in 60 hours I think. Right now there've been plenty of times where I say go back to the firelink from somewhere (say Quelaggs Domain), then I go right back to check something out. Guides and wikis that are up aren't 100% confirmed, so always gotta check (for instance I'm praying Quelana will show up for me sometime). It doesn't help me doing a video playthrough though...and jumbled up stuff gotta be somehow editted to flow.

Dark Souls-Was an MEPHMEPHMPEHY game, but it looked pretty challenging, after watching DSP sit there and ragequit I was all liek, WOOOOOOOAH. And then I would like a shot at this game, any suggestions?BhadCookie

Sen's Fortress is where the game directs you to. It's the trap-filled castle you get to from the blacksmith at Undead Parish, above the path to Darkroot Basin.BenderUnit22

Did you go to down the ruins below firelink shrine? Where the elevator takes you all the way down to a lake? I somehow missed this for the longest time due to the stairs being hard to see. lol. I'm in your position as well, or at least close, finished Sen's fortress but I'm exploring some of the areas I've yet to get far on.

I'm in the exact same place as you right now, I've found myself a few times not knowing where to go next. Even the Official Guide that I'm reading doesn't shed too much light. It says the next place after defeating Quelaag, in Quelaag's domain that you go to from Blight Town, you should head to The Great Hollow but I'm not 100% sure how to get there. I think the entrance may also be in Blight Town.

I did try New Londo Ruins a few times and it gets really annoying when they just pile in on you through the walls so i'm leaving that for a bit until I can 1 or 2 hit the ghosts.

A tip for you is to push on from Blighttown into the great hollow and to Ash lake and find the Stone dragon, cut off his tail and get a killer sword.

Other than that, you killed Quelagg? Go to Sens fortress next
