How to play HALO™ Like Ninja (Tyler Blevins)
Part 1: Learn how to drive
Part 2: How to shoot.
Part 3: How to kill Knight Artorias
The legendary hero that managed to cross into the abyss. He has gone slightly mad since doing so.
Knight Artorias has virtually no ranged attacks -- his speed more than makes up for that flaw. Almost all of his attacks are incredibly powerful regardless of your armor. Even with half of the Havel armor set many of his moves took 1/4 or more health.
He has a a few moves that he will emply frequently, however he has a very obvious charge animation. This means that he will broadcast what move is about to happen, giving you time to dodge or try to block. When he squats down, he is about to preform his leap attack. This is easily dodged, just make sure you do so a bit later, so that he is already heading towards the ground. If you dodge to soon, he will correct for it and hit you still. He also likes to attack using a quicker jumping move, where he overhead swings his sword, slamming it into the ground. This is just as easy to dodge but keep a watch out for follow up hits. Sometimes he will try to do it three times in a row. His last main attack is a lunge, straight forward towards your character. This is easily side stepped and shouldn't be a worry.
Artorias will also try to buff himself occasionally. He seems to do it each time you drop his overall health by 25%. It is very obvious when he is attempting this. He will leap away from the player and start yelling, and a fog will surround him. You can do three things during this time. Firstly you can simply back away, but be warned, this empowers him greatly, to the point where his leap attack can one shot your character. Firing arrows, or magic is also an option. Damage is lowers by 50% during this time, but a few extra hits never hurt anybody. Finally, the best option is also the riskiest. You can run up and try to stagger him out of the buff. To do so you will need to land 3 heavy blows, very quickly.This is demonstrated in the video below. Only attempt this if you are close to him, and can ensure the stagger. If you do not stagger him in time, he will fire off a large explosion, likely doing 50% or more damage to your character.
Below are a few helpful builds for fighting him.
Light MElee Build
As the name implies, this build is for those using armor that is less than 25% total equipment load. So long as you are below 25%, you are able to roll and dodge at the quickest speeds, something that is helpful for this fight. You won't be using a shield, so you should be two handing your weapon of choice. For a weapon, your character is going to want a far reaching item. The Crystal Halbred works well, or any similar item. Artorias is very fast, using a weapon that has a short reach will make the fight much harder than it needs to be.
While fighting, your main goal will be simple. Dodge and swing. You only will have time for a single swing but this will ensure your safety. Anytime you see an attack incoming, dodge it, then quickly swing and back away. Repeat this until he is dead. Just remember, don't get greedy. One hit at a time or you risk getting hit.

Part 5: How to Craft
Crafting is a simple matter of arranging components in the right pattern so that they make a product.
You start off with a 2x2 crafting area in your inventory screen:
One of the first things you'll want to do is create a crafting table, that provides a 3x3 crafting area. First, collect some wood by punching a tree. Then open your inventory screen and place one piece of wood in the crafting area. You will see that you can turn it into 3 planks.

Do this, then place four wooden planks in your crafting area:
This is the recipe for making a Crafting Table. Place the Crafting Table in your toolbar, then close your inventory screen. Select the Crafting Table using the appropriate shortcut key and right-click to place it on the floor. Now right-click to open the crafting table interface:
