There's a few Crystal Lizards in Catacombs. 2 I think.

I don't see why not. Only thing that'll be a pain are those stupid gravekeepers. There's also the Great Hollow. Short-cut through Blight-town and kill the like 6 that spawn near the top.

I've started a new game and went down after reaching firelink to enter the tomb of giants for the divine ember there. It's possible, just need to plan your actions out ahead of time.
I summoned the PLD summon in the catacombs to take care of the wheel skeletons and to take care of the boss. From there it was just running around the giant skele's and following my memorized path, which involves running off the edge of the paths falling down to a path below, twice, ending up on the sliding ramp where patches is. I didn't want to use the bonfire because I knew that would only trap me there, so I just ran in and grabbed the ember before they squished me.
Sure felt like a victory to me, the climb back out from the 2nd bonfire in the catacombs wasn't that bad, think I got out alive first try.
It was one of the things I've had the most fun doing in DS, just going into territory where anything can kill you in 1 hit is so fun to me.

If anyone wants help with this game just shoot me a message at my Gamertag (greatest chance of reaching me there, as I play FFXI on 360) or PM me here. I am always down to help. Just gotta be on the same system :P since I am too poor to afford a PS3.

Nothing like that personally but Emarrel did a NG+7 SL1 playthrough, should watch that playlist for inspiration.

ENB had translated some interviews from Miyazaki several months ago about the next Souls game. I fear he wants to make the game more appealing to the casual crowd by adding a difficulty setting. This may or may not be a good thing.
Don't get too excited just yet, we haven't seen any game play.

That translation was mistranslated according to Namco-Bandai.
Miyazaki DOES want more people playing, but he doesn't want to tone down the difficulty and disappoint/piss off current fans of the series.
That, and the difficulty is an integral part of both Souls games story. I don't see that changing if the trailer was anything to go by.

Probably a throw back to a previous FromSoft title. Chester's Mask (Fat Officials), Xanthos' Crown (The Old Monk) and the Moonlight Greatsword (King's Field series) are.

Platforms are confirmed to be PS3, 360, and PC. They will all release at the same time.
Multiplayer will be revamped as well.
Quote: Built upon the foundation established by Souls series creator and Dark Souls II Supervisor, Hidetaka Miyazaki with development helmed by FromSoftware Director Tomohiro Shibuya, Dark Souls II will feature a new hero, a new storyline, and an unfamiliar world for players to survive in while delivering its signature brand of unrelenting punishment that players hunger for. Epic battles with gruesome enemies and blood-thirsty bosses await adventurers as they traverse through a devastated world filled with death and despair; only those who are strong willed or cunning can survive this journey to achieve great glory. Players seeking to share their experience will discover a revamped server-based multiplayer mode that will put a distinct Dark Souls II twist on the concept of playing with others. Quote: Dark Souls II retains the core essence of Dark Souls while evolving to present new twists and challenges that are sure to please longtime fans and attract new comers to the series. FromSoftware is going to take a very dark path with Dark Souls II; players will need to look deep within themselves to see if they have the intestinal fortitude to embark on this journey. Quote: This new chapter in the Dark Souls saga presents opportunities for us to drive innovation in gameplay design, develop an entirely new story, and expand the scope of the world in which the player interacts with the game. We have taken these necessary steps with Dark Souls II in order to evolve the overall experience of the Dark Souls series. The entire development team is striving to make Dark Souls II an experience that is fresh while not forsaking its roots in presenting players with challenging gameplay. Our goal is to surprise and delight our fans with new experiences and plot twists while enticing new players to join our dark journey.
