In 4-1 how do i reach all those guys on legdes. And up to places i cant find any ways to get up to (at the beggining of the level)

How do i kill that big fat dude 4-1.

When i equip the Bastard sword it says ability shortage, do i need higher equip burden or item burden for that to go away?

Thanks!

There's a way to reach them, just look around.

You're talking about the fat guy near the beginning of 4-1 I assume (not the boss), i just ran around him and hit him in the back.

With ability shortages, you either don't have enough strength or dexterity, depending on the weapon (I don't remember what kind of sword the bastard sword is)

You need either more equip burden or strength (it will show in red on the status screen of the sword).

How about you check your stats and answer your own question? Seriously, is there any reason why you do not look at the attributes needed for the sword and the ones you currently have? It takes 10 seconds.

4-1 you have to find the passages in the wall, if your talking about the guy who kills you at the start of game arrow his ass, if you cant use the bastard sword yet get your strength to 18. Also if you are having these kinds of problems and not able to solve them on your own, this is not your type of game. Explore and you would answer these questions. [QUOTE="Manticore7"]

the big guy (vanguard) in 4-1 is optional, though his soul can be used for making the dozer axe. The easiest and cheapest way to kill him is from ranged, he doesn't like leaving his position you can arrow/magic him down without him ever coming close enough to hit you.

He is quite fun to melee though, you want to get behind him, use a 2h stance and chop away, when he hovers his about to do a butt slam , do a roll just before he hits the ground and it wont effect you, then get back in and start chopping his back.

As for you sword yeah you need more strength probably, you can look at the item in your inventory and hit square i think, and it should say what minimum stats you need, or the strategy guide probably says, the wiki definitely does.

For your first question just look at this. If you don't want to thenthat's fine, heh.

1) I really can't tell you how to defeat Vanguard (Mini-boss) - I assume you're talking about him, correct? There are many ways to defeat him; Melee, Magic, Range. . . just pick. I can tell how I killed him - on my first playthrough, I just used a Compound Long bow +1, with regular arrows you can buy for the blacksmith in the Nexus.

2) You need 18 strength in order to wield it.

Edit: Also, Vanguard is one of many bosses you don't have to fight.

You can't sell items just drop any items you don't need or have two of. To start the crank to get to Blacksmith Ed you must walk around to the top of Stonefang Tunnel. You should see it once you reach the top as there will be an opening leading outside where you can turn the switch to get to him. It also creates a shortcut to get back to the boss area.

You can't sell items.

Progress through the level - there should be a lever around the second fog gate. Once you activate it, you'll be able to reach him.

mmmm you dont sell items in this game. Souls are your only thing that you can buy stuff with also. Some items are used for trade or upgrading to new weapons [QUOTE="Manticore7"]

You can't use there services anymore and you character tenedency turns black. Mephistopheles offers you a quest to kill them all with some rewards but only do it if your about to start a new game.
