I'm using the winged spear right now. It's nice, because I get to hide behind my shield, but man do I use a lot of stamina...

Spears have a very fast attack so it's easy to get carried away and use up all your stamina leaving you open for a big hit with no way of dodging or blocking.
Groups are becoming especially problematic. With an attack that uses so much stamina, it's hard to face them and remain unstaggered.

You're a Pyromancer, right?
Yeah, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting fireball to hit multiple mobs. Maybe it'll work better once I have a wider spell?

Fire Orb works a bit better for that.
Also, Combustion casts faster and can hit multiple targets. Don't forget that casting doesn't cost stamina. If you've upgraded your hand you should be pumping out decent enough damage.
Just get a bow with cheap wooden arrow. If you take your time and pull them from a distance to a safe spot, you rarely have to fight more than one mob at a time. I can't remember dying because I got overwhelm by too many mobs(except in new londo ruins but that's another story). I might be overcautious but it's better be safe than sorry with this game.

You can easily get a dozen of the red and purple moss and maybe 5-6 white moss in half an hour or less. You should bring a lot of the purple and white moss in Blight town. The last thing you want is to be stuck in there with no way to cure poison or toxin.
Duly noted!

In my experience, you're typically going to kill things using the shield/spear combo with a death by 1000 paper cuts. Take your time. Use a lot of feints...take a few steps in to prompt the enemies to attack, and then get a couple hits in.
Positioning is very important. Lure enemies into tight hallways, or otherwise try to keep them in a line or echelon. If possible, you should try to sidestep first, roll second, and block only as a last resort or when you know it'll unbalance the enemy and you can spare the stamina. You don't always have to attack from behind the shield...mix in some 2-handing and regular attacks too.

He has trouble shielding against stronger attacks, they go right through and hit his HP.

I bummed around Darkroot Garden/Basin aimlessly for a while after ringing the first bell, and found it to be pretty reasonable for my level. Killed the Hydra and Moonlight Butterfly. You get some nice gear (Elite Knight's Armor and Grass Shield, in my case, perhaps even more), level up a bit, and get some unique souls.
Considering how awful things purportedly get from here (I left things off cursed, having returned to the first bonfire in the depths; the one behind the slimes) I'd say the diversion was worthwhile. I suspect I'm going to hate Blight Town.

I found the Depths to be fairly easy, personally. Also, for poison, you can get the remedy spell in Blight Town, so I didn't have much trouble with that. And the Pyromancer's set has some fairly decent poison resistance to start out with, if you have that. The only annoying part were those toxin blowdart guys, and if you kill them, they don't seem to respawn.

Yeah, I've taken the more defensive route. High Endurance, Vitality, Resistance.
One room mate is mainly a spellcaster, he Focused on Intelligence, Attunement and Faith.
The other went for Strength and Endurance, so he's probably the best off between us.
I just got the Lordvessel, this is going to be... exciting >____________>

So... Lost Izalith sucks balls.
I haven't found a bonfire, so I have to keep running past these weird giant things through lava, then past fire breathing statues to get to the boss.
Bright glowing red and orange is definitely not the easiest thing to navigate

I'm back in Blight Town. I really want to kill Quelaag and do whatever I have to do to get to the giant blacksmith. I have my sword ready to be made into the Furysword.
More tales from the adventures of Croaker the Wanderer:
"Ick, it's all murky in these woods. The trees are freaking alive, snakes somehow have two heads, and there's mud all up in my boots. Can't wait to get the hell... oohhh, I see treasure in the distance!
Hmm, those are some interesting stone formations. Must be the ruins of some old structure. Wait a second, why are the stone ruins moving, and why are they carrying a sword and shield?
Ack, giant stone knight! Oh well, he looks like he'll be slower than frozen molasse;, I'll just take off the armor and pwn him like I pwned Havel the Rock. Hmm, he's glowing; that can't be good. Hey, why am I all slow?
*Splat*

That only works if you have the INT(16) to use it though. I'm pure melee or I was back when I went through Blight town. I personally didn't have any problem with Blight town. I only died on the boss and only got poisoned while crossing the swamp but I can see someone having trouble and running out of moss then dying and being returned to the bonfire in the swamp. That would suck.

You're almost there, only one area away... in theory

I'm not 100% sure since I just got there but can't you use a shortcut back to the hidden bonfire near the second bell after the Firesage Demon?

Pretty much exactly what happened to me.
I found though, that even armored up, and slowed by their spell, that I was still able to circle strafe around them, blocking the occasional attack.
You can just run past all of them to the ruins of that fort in on the left side of the area, though. Just don't forget the armor that's in the back of that clearing.

I gave up and looked it up, there's actually a hidden bonfire that was closer. Once I got there, and saw how easy it was to kill the boss, Izalith isn't that bad I guess.
So... I think there's a glitch with the Crystal Ring Shield.
It's a magical shield that you can use as a ranged magic attack with L2, but it seems to base its damage off your Right hand weapon... >______________>
A room mate is using the Dragon King Greataxe with the Shield, and doing insane damage with it.
(He 3 shotted Smough).
So I'm expecting a patch sometime to fix this, lol.

Yeah... that doesn't seem as intended though.
The Shield has its own damage rating, but it doesn't seem to matter.
