So I tried learning to do this myself by lurking, and I'm afraid it's a bit above my head, so please forgive me as I can't seem to answer these questions on how to proceed. First, what I'm wanting to do.

I'm wanting to activate a cheat that puts me at the final boss and turn down his health to one hit, so I can increase the difficulty by repeatedly beating the game.

Now, I've found a topic that mentions what value to use to move myself to the save right next to him, but it presents me with a code ( which from what I've seen is lua ) in order to enter the code. It is as follows:

<CheatEntry>
<ID>195</ID>
<Description>"Last Checkpoint/Bonfire"</Description>
<Color>80000008</Color>
<VariableType>4 Bytes</VariableType>
<Address>13DEAF0</Address>
<Offsets>
<Offset>B04</Offset>
</Offsets>
</CheatEntry>

I can't seem to find anything about where to enter this or how. I know I have to change one of the values to a value on a list they put down, but honestly I'm not sure what value that is either. I kind of feel like I'm in the deep end and theirs so much info about cheat engine I'm not sure where to look for this.

Again I apologize for this noobish post, but is their a way somebody could help me figure out how to do these two things?

So when I try to do this, I get a little *ping* sound, the one windows makes when it's telling you you're an idiot for trying to do something. It also has the value currently set at ??? at the bottom of the window. When you say attach, do I do attach debugger or just open? I've tried both and gotten the same results though.

Click the flashing computer icon in the top left
Select DarkSouls.exe or whatever it's called
Click Open

If the address still shows ??? then it is an old address that does not work for your current version of the game.
You can try asking for help here

Ok, that's what I did so I'll try that thread. Thanks for your time though. I now at least have a basic understanding of how to input lua......if thats what that is.

Nope, that's not Lua. Just standard XML which Cheat Engine knows how to interpret into a table address entry.
You would get a similar result if you selected a random entry and hit CTRL-C to copy and then pasted into NotePad.

Moved, this is not Lua related.
