Seriously, watch some of the vids on youtube of a guy killing bosses with a knife and a soul level of 3. In his pants.
You don't need to level faith either. Upgrade any regular weapon to +5. Then choose 'modify weapon' at the smith, and upgrade it to divine using green titanite you can buy from the giant smith in anor londo.
I just finished the whole graveyard/tomb of giants section using magic and a +7 divine longsword, which I only used in the boss fight.
The Stray Demon is one of the most frustrating in the game as he kills you before you can learn its moves. I killed it with magic.. get up close, but not too close, behind and to one side. Don't lock on.. keep running round him until it does an attack - then lock, and cast.
Took me.. ages, but it is possible. You could throw dung pies at it too, they help reduce its health, but you might waste a load trying.
Its all about the moves.. when to block, when to run away, when to attack.
Havel is the hugely armored guy who one-hit you. If you can't circle him and backstab, lure him to the door, and hit him repeatedly with spells when he goes back inside.
Keep at it, if you can kill the stray demon you'll be able to take anything.
My intelligence is only 20, so is my strength. I have level 5 my axe, then made another raw axe, then levelled that up 5.
I think I need to up my dexterity. I'm not quick enough to get out of the way of some stuff. Havel is a nightmare, people said to do that (fire souls at him) but every time I power one up he runs back inside and the spell hits the wall. You think I should use the little spells, ie just a normal soul arrow?
How do you recommend I tackle the Hydra?
I farm souls and add the stuff to my gear..
