You only have one chance to cut his tail : right at the beginning. When you enter the fight just ignore him and run to the crystal. Wait till he comes to you and when he starts his breath, go behind him. Meanwhile his breath should break his own crystal (Seath's a retard) and stun him a few seconds which should be enough to cut his tail.
If you fail that it's almost impossible to cut his tail afterward because he'll react too fast and start his smashing tail move every time you get close to his back.

And...i think my soul of sif is either gone...or i dont have it yet... Didnt kill Sif yet :<

2-3 hits with the 2 handed claymore should do the trick. No idea about the other one, I never used it.

I really suck with tiny straight swords, no practice at all if i could stop running into gankers and hackers i'd be great....but i guess thats all there is at level 94/5 PVP
And then theres this idiot that only gives me 10Kish souls that keeps invading me only to lose.
By Enuyasha 2013-08-04 09:33:52
The game is full of gankers yeah, best to put red soapsign down in undead burg, the big area near bonfire [li][/li] Too bad i killed all the bosses except for 3/4 of the lord souls and butterfly/hydra/The Depths/ sometingsomething i forget the other relevant "side-bosses" ;A;

And moonlight butterfly is boss of hydra area I didnt know that :O Thanks, i've been keeping to the moonlight butterfly cause it gave me the fastest summonings and it was where i could find people most of the time.

Look for the frog.
On the topic of high level soul farming, what are the best spots? I pretty much just run through the game killing bosses, but now that it costs over 1million souls to level up, i think i might need a good soul farming spot.

This is a shot in the dark, but could anyone help me cut off Seath's tail? He's easy but it's damn hard to cut off his tail with the weapons that I use. I'm SL50 and my Live ID is Ozymandis... using DSCfix of course. Oddly though I have seen zero summon signs since I starting using that add-on, where I'd get them before.

My characters are too high level to help, but when you enter the room with seath, go to the back of the room with the thing that makes him mortal, and wait for him to get close, before running away as he's charging his attack, so he breaks the thing himself, allowing you more of a chance to get behind him and sever the tail. I had troubles too, even with an upgraded lightning claymore. I actually made that weapon specially for the duke's archives. I couldn't do it in one shot, but I still just kept circling around him, getting behind him, and managed to sever the tail.
On the other hand, Priscilla's tail is friggin impossible to sever, though I was using an enchanted longsword at the time, dunno if I had the claymore at the time, if it would have made a difference.

It took me three swings with a Claymore+10 and about 26 STR :< its really quite difficult if you didnt overlevel stats on the first playthrough.

Was quite tricky the first time i did it he kept moving and whatnot.. cutting tail = harder than killing him.

I got it. I had to make a Lightning Claymore +10, but after that I got it on the second try, and then downed Seath. Loving the Moonlight Greatsword, though the damage is a little less than my Enchanted Balder Side Sword +5.

I'm looking to finally pick this game up. I bought a really good gaming computer not too long ago so I was thinking about buying for PC. Are there still any major issues with the port to PC? Also my friend that wants to play with me uses Xbox. Can we play together or is that feature console exclusive? I tried google already but maybe I'm just blind.

No, you can't play together cross platform.
PC has mods that can make the game flow better. Or at least look better.
Multiplayer is a feasible way to play the game now with the changes they made to servers, but I'll warn you that multiplayer takes away from the experience of the game if you rely on it. I'd suggest playing the game once through solo (inviting players to help when you need it only), and do a second run through with a partner. That said, my first experience was that way, and I thoroughly enjoyed it... but Dark Souls isn't for everyone, and a partner may make it more tolerable, or might be a stronger experience because you'd be experiencing the beautiful, intricate game together for the first time (Unless your friend has beaten it before).
