Just wondering is there any order to fight the bosses in?

I just killed Phalanx and I'm wondering if I should go kill Tower Knight next or should I go to another area and kill the boss there?

I want to know that too! I'd also like to know where the monument in the Nexus is? The Maiden in Black keeps telling me to "go to the Monument & it will explain the Nexus too me" so i've ran up the stairs & went everywhere but still cannot find this "Monument". I would like too up my stats with her but think that she wont let me until i find this dam thing.

Whatever floats your boat. Just pick an area that's easy for you to handle. You might want to visit world 4 as soon as possible though because there are some nice items to get and you can level up pretty fast.

I did Phalanx, Knight then went to The Storm Shrine and went through that entire place. Wasnt too bad of an idea, I've found the last area full of flying Irwin killers to be the best place to raise your soul level

Can anyone give me some general tips involving the Tower Knight? I've defeated the Phalanx and I've been farming for souls and building up my items a bit, I've only manged to get my main sword to +3 and I've found a spiked shield which does damage for a parry but I can't find any new armors and I am just having a terrible time finding anyone to help me (online-wise) defeat the Tower Knight, I've been in Soul Form for 90% of my gameplay time so far on this character, it's annoying. Sadly enough I just figured out today that all those soulstones can be redeemed for souls on the fly. I went from 0 to 10,000 in no time but I spent most of those on stats and learning my first spell. I am a Soldier and I'm considering even starting over AGAIN because I just feel like I've flawed my character somehow, he's not ridiculously weak but the bosses are just ridiculously strong and I'm still having trouble with the red-eyed knights.

Another thing... is it best to hold onto soulstones (particularly demon stones) or use them asap? I have Phalanx's stone as the only one I haven't used but it's obviously more powerful, is it smarter to use it towards gear or use it towards straight souls this early in the game... or just hold off until later? It reminds me of the imbue characteristic of D2, which was much more useful later in the game.

Dude... Flamelurker is super easy if you have magic, which he is incredibly weak against. HE'S SUPER EASY. You have to kind of cheat a little, but seriously... so easy. Check this video out... you can get him stuck on a bone by the enterance. I killed him first try without getting hit once. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpxxWzDK2wk

Hold onto the demons souls...Use the normal soldier souls though. You can exchange the Demons souls later in the game for awesom weapon and magic upgrades.

The tower Knight is a pain but after a few tries you should be able to take him. I run up and kill all the archers first, then make sure you're fully healed...then run down towards the Tower knight and slice him behind the foot, lock on. I found the best way to REACH the tower knight is to run STRAIGHT at him and roll under his feet. Dont try to go around him...he will slash you. Once you do enough damage to his feet, he will fall, and attack his HEAD you will do TONS Of damage on his head. Rinse and repeat...use Magic on ur wep, or Turpentine to light your sword on fire.

Well, he's horribly slow. Just run behind him, stay there and bash away at his ankle. Once he falls over go for his head.

I'll try that.Thanks

First time I fought him I had 6000 souls and he killed me and I lost all of them because I tried to rush it and got killed by the dragon :(

Its easy to defeat the tower knight if you have Soul Arrow you can just go to the top and knock down all the archers and hit him in the head or chest with soul arrow from there.

This is the order I have done things in so far: 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 3-1, 2-2, 4-1, 5-1, 2-3. It is odd and random but it has worked. All the 1 level bosses are really easy to beat so just use them to level up. Beat 2-2 early on though so you can take its soul to Blacksmith Ed and really start doing some cool upgrades on your weapons.
