| The Zweihander is good. It kills skeletons. Posted: 09 Dec 2019 06:55 AM PST Seriously though, has anyone noticed that if you miss with the power attack on that fucking thing, the shockwave makes skeletons explode even though it does no damage? That's just power. I crapped myself when I saw the giant skeletons pancake and/or fall apart with it. Literally went Warrior-Graveyard-16 Str-Pancaking I know that to a lot of you this is not news, but I got really excited about it. Those poor skeletons. Edit - wow! I didn't expect this kind of a response. I was just shocked that a normal attack from this thing collapses the big guys. It's really badass, since they are annoying as shit. I wonder if it does that to the skeleton dogs as well? [link] [comments] |
| How do I explain why dark souls is good? Posted: 09 Dec 2019 06:59 PM PST In a group chat today some people were discussing Dark souls and i joined in. One person was complaining that "its too hard and should have a difficulty setting" and when i attempted to explain that dark souls isn't hard, merely punishing if you rush in without thinking, I very quickly got attacked by several people, including an admin in the chat. The admin accused me of just being a tryhard, and claimed dark souls is just a stupid rite of passage for nerds, and that the game is designed to be as confusing and unintuitive as possible. I tried to explain that the game relies on observation and patience, that tactics used in other games do not work, that running in guns blazing will only get you killed, and you need to take in the enviroment and keep your eyes open for enemies and choose your fights very carefully... And almost got banned for it. The admin just kept repeating that I'm just a tryhard, and that i was acting better then everyone, and several other people jumped in and said it was shitty game design to allow players to enter i to endgame locations right at the very start (refering to tomb of the giants and nito) and thst the game needs things like objectives, guides, and difficulty controls. I know thats all bs, and i know those are the arguments of people who refuse to learn from their mistakes in game, but how do i convey those points and explain the beauty of dark souls without people accusing me of being a tryhard, or using childish argumenta to simply accuse me of showboating?

| Dark Sauce, Happy Souls or Dork Soul? Posted: 09 Dec 2019 12:07 PM PST First of all, I want to give props to all three animators because God knows how much effort went into them. Having said that what is your favorite among them, also elaborate on the reasoning. On a side note how awesome is that we have one series for each Souls games Edit: Wow I know Happy Souls was really popular but I didn't know it was THIS beloved. It's the Solaire of animation videos [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2019 06:22 PM PST I'd like to just take a moment to show my love and appreciation to Dark Souls and just how big of an impact it had on my life. Let's go back to the time when Dark Souls was first released. I remember hearing about the game and seeing it advertised here and there but I never really paid no mind to it and simply carried on with the usual games I played during that time. It wasn't until the Prepare To Die Edition was released that I finally picked up the game to give it a shot. Now, I should point out that I was very young and full of emotion at this time. I was still a teenager and was slowly transitioning into adulthood, meaning there was plenty of stress, time without a job or any decent income and plenty of arguments with family and friends. It was truly some of the lowest years of my life and certainly not filled with memories. It was during this time that I came across Dark Souls once again and decided to just take a closer look, simply out of curiosity. The game was currently on sale so I figured I'd give it a try. I'll admit, I was terrible at this game when I first tried it. I barely had a clue what I was doing, the controls felt weird and the game seemed very slow compared to what I was used to. Needless to say, I did not like it at first, yet my curiosity made me want to continue onwards, mainly because I wanted to see if the game had more to offer and to also try to learn about the story and lore, as I am a huge lover of finding and learning the more of video games. A lot of days passed by, each with the littlest of progress and a hell of a lot more stress and frustration building with each of my deaths and failures. I was hating this game more and more, as well as hating myself for simply thinking I was terrible at the game and I simply could not get any better at it. I'm proud to say that I was terribly wrong. As I played more, I learned more. I became patient with my attacks, learned the animations for enemies and when to strike. Sure, I still failed a lot but eventually, I got through it. All I can remember is screaming and cursing and throwing a controller across the room with each death, though I was determined to continue and try again, like I was just addicted to getting one more attempt and trying to succeed. The same could be said with the bosses. Trial and error, time and time again, frustration mounting, controllers nearly breaking, desks being slammed time and time again. And then finally, it happens. I finally beat that boss that I had so much trouble getting by. Then the next came and the cycle repeated itself, up until I succeeded again. It was only after I beat the game that I realised what it had done to me. With each victory, it was like a little bit of my spirit was given back to me, my sense of achievement being realised, my self praise for actually succeeding at something. The best way I could describe is like a huge weight being lifted off my shoulders that I had removed myself, all the stress and anger I felt simply washing away. Only after I beat the game did I realise Dark Souls had changed me into a better person. It took my stress and anger away with each hard earned victory I achieved. It taught me patience and determination, careful thinking and strategy. By the end of the game, I fell in love with it. By the end, I felt like a new person. A better one. I just wanted to say thank you. To FromSoftware, to the amazing community and finally, to Dark Souls itself, for simply being what it is. A goddamn pain in the ass that taught me so much and I am grateful for it existing in the first place, along with the rest of the series. Thank You, Dark Souls. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Dec 2019 03:33 AM PST So I was roaming through YT and I stumbled upon the good old Dumbshits guide to DS. Needless to say I teared up, it took me so many years back... I checked if the series was finally done and, oh well, what do you know, its not lmao. Can't wait to see the Dumbshits Guide to Dark Souls : Kiln of the first flame, in my death bed.

| Posted: 09 Dec 2019 05:31 PM PST I was thinking about how big Sif has gotten during the boss encounter when you meet them in the Abyss. Struggling with grief, did Sif refuse to leave Artorias's grave and fearing Sif would go hollow, did Alvina basically lure people to their death in order to feed Sif souls or have her followers bring her souls so she could give them to Sif? Is that why Sif is so big? [link] [comments] |

| The Adventures of "Faith" and "adam" in the fight against ornstein and smough! Posted: 10 Dec 2019 01:20 AM PST So I sent a message out on this Reddit page a few days ago saying that I'm starting a faith build and I was going to join the sunlight Warriors Covenant as I was progressing through the game I arrived at ornstein and smough and realised how under leveled my character character was in strength. At this point I decided to place down my summon sign and assist people in the battle so I get 25000 Souls to each boss battle and the first person for selling me with someone called Adam and I must have helped him at least four times before getting invaded in my own world by a hacker he wasn't using any health hacks but he had infinite stamina and one hit kill so as you can probably assume he killed me. I then legged it back to the bonfire to place my summon sign and get summoned by Adam again and as I was looking into his world I went into the room with the bonfire and saw him getting attacked by the exact same hacker and together we managed to unite and kill this hacker after this we continue to try and kill ornstein and smough in succession with Solaire to help us I would distract ornstein while Adam and Solaire would fight smough I can watch all unite together to fight super ornstein. We got so close so many times but we always getting killed at the last minute but then we managed to do it we managed to kill the bosses and my 25000 Souls was just enough to get me Faith level 30 so I could wield the great lightning Spear but the moment before I was sent back to my own world I got one last bow from Adam. So Adam I've got no idea if you're even on this subreddit but if you are pop-up we might be able to help each other some more! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2019 12:01 PM PST I've always had this fascination with ash lake in the context of dark souls 1 and the series altogether, although when compared to some of the other locations from the series it doesn't have much of an impact to me it is by far the most beautiful. The feeling of going through the blightown swamp and then through a hidden tree that stretched downwards leaves you with an odd expectation, you've just been through 2 quite dirty unenjoyable areas so when you step out into this sudden grey sky with huge pillar like trees stretching around you it's hard to take in, how different and strange it looks compared to everything you'll see always interested me. The most interesting way they made the area seem truly unique was the music, not only is it one of very few areas in the game to even have music it's this large quite overpowering track when compared to the more quite firelink shrine song. When walking through this place it feels like you've stumbled across some hidden world underneath everything else, a place forgotten by almost all, simply being in this place felt like a great accomplishment, the area feels truly peaceful. I'm not even going that in depth into what this area is to me and I'm honestly happy the area wasn't ever brought back as it maintained how unique it was, although we don't see it, it still exists underneath it all, waiting for the world to crumble away and return to its roots.

| I'm loosing it! (Possible spoilers?) Posted: 09 Dec 2019 12:23 PM PST I had to kill Solaire in Lost Izalith and when I returned to firelink, I talked to the pyromancer, he was talking about a spell I found and if I could share it or something, I moved my controller and hit the attack button so he fought back and I had to kill him. I liked interacting with these folks, but slowly they're disappearing, by my own fault! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2019 05:16 PM PST Im at the Blighttown Bonfire and now my weapon broke and guess who cant repair at the Bonfire and hast No repair items ? [link] [comments] |
| Dying with newly acquired items Posted: 09 Dec 2019 06:39 PM PST I'm new to DS. Do I have to worry about losing new items (weapons etc) if I die before resting at a bonfire? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2019 09:49 PM PST This is probably not new but I found out that if you parry an enemy and than cast something like wrath of the gods or a combustion variant the extra damage for normal weapons is still applied! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2019 05:32 PM PST I'm in dsr, can people be summoned for this fight, and if so, anyone want to help a hollow? I'm on pc by the way. [link] [comments] |
| I beat the Artorias fight In what felt like less than a minute Posted: 09 Dec 2019 11:05 AM PST So I ran through the royal woods so I could go fight Artorias and get to Oolacile for those sweet, sweet invasions I love doing. Outside the fog gate are two summons, so I said screw it and summoned them. I myself, have 58 strength and wield a maxed out Smough's hammer. My white used power within and the sunbro with us buffed his weapon. We all rushed in two handed and started beating down on Artorias, His poise broke, allowing us to beat on him some more. He did roll away, and went to buff himself, but very quickly after that, he was dead. Our damage output was absolutely ridiculous it was over so fast and it felt great. Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go get some invasions in Oolacile because that's my favourite thing to do in Online Multiplayer. [link] [comments] |
| I'm Reminded Again of How Amazing This Game is Posted: 09 Dec 2019 08:24 AM PST So, I took a break from dark souls (about 2 months), and I come back to the game and start breezing through it. I get the drake sword and immediately farm dragon scales until I get it to +5. I take on difficult bosses for my level in an attempt to challenge myself, but even then, I kill Sif with only the drake sword and a shield without dying. Then I think: What if I went through The Catacombs without using a divine weapon? I start going through, and even though I use some platforming tricks to get to the mages quickly, I die a number of times, and I'm glad that this game offers me something new. The game keeps going same old same old, I'm not dying a ton even though going through challenging areas for my level. I die to those archers in Anor Londo only once, then suddenly, I remember why I love this game. Ornstein and Smough. I get to them, and even though I've beaten them 5 or so times before, they kill me, and I get frustrated for a few hours trying to kill them with only the Drake Sword and no upgraded armor (SL roughly 40 at this point). After quite a number of tries, I kill them, and whoop and holler for joy! What a beautiful game, and what a wonderful boss fight. I've kept going through the game, and it still isn't too hard, but man, what a beautiful game. Also RIP Solaire, that gets me every time :/ [link] [comments] |
