I'm stuck at Undead Parish. My uchigatana and broadsword are both broken and I've only got some shortswords I can use. I'm supposed to kill the armoured boar with fire (or with melee), after which I'm supposed to kill those tall knights with just a smallsword.
Impossible task for a newbie? Should I just the game all over again?
run past them
If you've got the ugi you've got the repair box, so repair your weapons
Also you can lure the boar into the flaming cart afor an easy kill
You could sprint past and explore (probably die over and over but still) until you find the blacksmith.
If this REALLY doesn't work for you, you could instead go back to Firelink Shrine. If you follow the staircase next to the crestfallen warrior there, you'll find a lift. Go down the lift and follow the stairs from the tower, near the ledge, and you'll find a different blacksmith trapped in a little cell who can repair for you instead.
>If you've got the ugi you've got the repair box
he'd have to have bought it, and uchi is only from the kill, so...
I'm pretty sure you also get repair box from killing the merchant, otherwise it locks you out of it
Or can you get it from andre instead?
Yeah I had to look up when you first said that, because i forgot you could buy it from the merchant, you can buy it from Andre too.
I got the uchigatana by killing the merchant (someone on YouTube said that this is what you should do). I'm not sure if I have a repair box, I'll check it out!
>someone on YouTube said that this is what you should do
This is the biggest problem, user. DO NOT use YT or FAQ until you're really stuck in the game.
>but it's hard!!
What's hard is to adapt to this gameplay if you've never played any Souls game and if you just rush blindly and swing your sword like a fucking retard. Respawn enemies over annd over. Grind. Hell, play as a fucking pyromancer. But never use a FAQ if you're stuck on small things like this one. It will completely ruin your game.
use a plunging attack on the boar. also you're pretty close to discovering some resources that will make your time a bit easier just explore more around the parish.
