DarkSouls - Gather 'round the bonfire.

As I was turning a estus shard into Andre the game, and console decided to shut off. Usually id be fine with it because Ive had my breaker overload or powerline go dowm. Boot back up my console and find that over 1000 hours spread across 3 characters is gone. This actually is the most deflating souls experience 😭😭 i couldn't beat the super elder boss that is console failure. Im furious

Manus' search through space & time

Posted: 31 Jan 2020 07:06 PM PST

I know time is convoluted in the Souls Universe, but I just wanted to take a few moments and marvel at the tragedy that is Manus.

Whether we take him to be THE furtive pygmy, or one of the pygmys from the ringed city (as noted in DS3) , here's what we do know:

Manus is a primeval human, ie the first of humanity
He died at some point, his resting place being what came to be Oolacile
One of the primordial serpents (Kaathe most likely) convinced the occupants of Oolacile to disturb his gravesite - necessitating the eruption of the Abyss
His dormant Humanity explodes, bringing with it the spread of the Abyss, mutating himself, Oolacile, and eventually everything if not kept in check

We learn through Dusk that while held captive by Manus, that she sensed the presence of sadness, longing, among other human emotions. We get ripped out of present day Lordran by Manus, through a portal he ripped open through spacetime seemingly out of sheer willpower. We know that due to the cycle of Fire that time, and space itself are convoluted / converging, worsening with every rekindling of the flame. While the appearance of phantoms in "our" world is attributed to this, both our & Chester's presence in Oolacile are not a result of the cycle - Rather, Manus' search across space and time for his precious Pendant. Perhaps his Pendant is the one remnant of his past life that he can still recall, longing to possess it once more. While never directly stated, I feel like we can say that Manus' outbreak of humanity / spreading of the Abyss ( I dont think he "created it", rather it has always existed) are intentional. Whatever memory he has retained, I can't help but look at his existence with great sorrow. Imagine yearning for something so intensely that not even time itself can contain your will.

I've always adored the whole lore behind the entire AoA DLC, and the story of Manus furthers this adoration. Just another reason why we should walk away from the first flame, and let the world experience darkness as nature intended.

I JUST GOT THE PLATINUM TROPHY!!! PRAISE THE SUN Y'ALL

Posted: 31 Jan 2020 09:26 PM PST

Boom proof - https://youtu.be/_H-AVswYlkc

This was fun. I am not a trophy hunter and I dont particulary care for hard mode in games but this was something else entirely. Most games turn me off with hard mode because all they do is up health pools and damage output and it become more of a slog than anything. Dark Souls in not this.

Dark Souls was something I avoided until last summer when I finally said "what the hell" and went for it. Within a couple hours of playing I knew I was hooked and the next day went back to gamestop to buy 2 &3 & demon souls (none of which I have played yet -_-) I played through the summer and it took me 52 hours to finish my first playthrough.

A week and half ago i picked it up again cause I wanted to play something that would relax me. Honestly I now find the game relaxing cause once it clicks it clicks. Once you know the formula there is no stopping you. First time through sen's fortress 5 hours. Now 3 minutes.

This time it took me a week and a half to get the platinum trophy starting over a NG and not my old save to make sure I did full exploration and found all the items I would need. So now After 56 hours I have completed the 2 & 1/2 playthroughs needed to beat Dark Souls.

Highlights:

1.The first time I beat the Bell Gargoyals easily. Not the the first time I beat them, that was a chore, but the first time I realized "Hey I got this" and proceeded to hand em their asses

All my time spent with The fair lady. Honestly the lore of the Witch of Izalith, her son and daughters is some of the saddest and most touching stuff in the game.
Beating Artorias. - Didnt fight him till NG+ and it took me two tries. He was easier than i thought but still cool as hell
My final fight against Gwyn on NG+. Beating Gwyn on NG was easy as shit. On NG+ though he made me work for it. I dont know if it was just the increased damage output or health pool but he stood in my way and said "If you want the plat; come and earn it"

Bad Moments:

Fuck you gravity

Almost beat Ornstein and Smough first try!

Posted: 31 Jan 2020 08:54 PM PST

First time playing DS1, I heard about how hard the fight with Ornstein and Smough is, so when I finally reached them I fully expected to eat shit... But managed to kill Ornstein and get Smough down to around 1/3rd of his hp before I got pummeled by his charge attack by accidentally rolling straight into it lol

2nd try I managed to beat them

Meanwhile, I think I died like 40 times back in the Catacombs to pinwheel skeletons...

Encountered this while using the enemy randomizer mod for Remastered today. Phase 2 O&S count as separate enemies btw. Can highly recommend trying this mod for a good challenge or some good laughs.

Need tips for the gargoyles

Posted: 31 Jan 2020 11:27 PM PST

I completed bloodborne with 100% including the dlc and the bosses up to this point were fairly easy, so I was confident my skills had carried over, then the gargoyles show up and I spend around 3 hours trying to kill them and not even coming close. Amy tips as to what I should do?

I finally did it!

Posted: 31 Jan 2020 06:43 PM PST

https://imgur.com/gallery/DZLXLSm

I finally completed the soul level 1 challenge. It was frustrating and anxiety filled. All while having a similar death count to my first run.

I have completed a no death run and it may have been easier, but one mistake there and it was all over.

I chose to take out every boss for this challenge including DLC.

I cheesed one boss, and I do not care. It was Bed of Chaos. I did the firebomb toss because I have beat it many times without it(before it was even a thing) and the challenge at slvl 1 or 100 is the same. Gravity is your greatest enemy.

I did find some bosses to be tougher than others.

The top three toughest and how I finally brought them down:

1: Manus - Went in with Red Tearstone equiped and running. I died many times but I found that Fire Whip did great damage. You just can't be greedy because the flame hits twice if he sits in front of you, but he is so fast that he can curb stomp during that extra second.

2: Kalameet - I could only take him down with the ring swap starting with the White Seance Ring and Power Within in the extra attunement slot. I then swapped out to have Bellowing Dragon and Red Tearstone. Standard hypermode design, but man is it annoying getting the timing correct with him walking around or spraying black death at you. Flame Whip and Great Fireball ftw on this one. Also, you want Sanctus to slow the life loss.

3: Lord Gwyn - Power within but no red Tearstone ring. This time its Bellowing and Flame Stoneplate to help with the damage. I am filthy casul and also came with a +5 Dragon Crest Shield. I used Great Combustion when I could. He hits hard and he can stun lock you without all of that fire protection.

The surprisingly tough bosses:

Priscilla - she can bleed you so quickly at this low level and while invisible she can be a real b*tch. I would watch for her feet and then do the r2 jumping attack with a +5 Lightning Reinforced Club(my weapon of choice when not roasting enemies).

Centipede Demon - Sometimes he would sit back and spam his one handed(legged?) attack. That fight was annoying for all of the wrong reasons. I went light with a good shield and kept rolling and would take 1-2 swings with my Lightning RClub and eventually I took his life down before he took mine. That is exactly how it felt anyway.

Thanks to everyone who has put any challenge run up here before for the confidence/inspiration and to ymfah who created a video that helped a lot(I had to modify his choices for the toughest bosses but that is only because RNG plays a big role in some of their strategies and it was not working for me, seriously that guy is amazing and inventive with his videos and runs).

If anyone has questions I am fresh off a run that I enjoyed so I can help. This run brought new life into a game that I finished the trophies four times.

I created a pointless list of all of the buffable weapons in the game with their power to weight ratios

Posted: 31 Jan 2020 10:03 PM PST

All weapons tested at +15, 50 str and 50 dex, also this list has literally no reason to exist other than I thought it be interesting, the number indicates power/weight, I accidentally tested some 2 handed and some one handed, however this only lead to a maximum error of 1.2 points as seen with the DGA, (basically nothing)

Also the (B) and (P) represent bleed/poison, they effect this score in reality but I'm not testing for it

Yeah, you might've beaten Dark Souls with a tin can and a toothbrush, but have you beaten it with a horrible goose on your screen?

The goose is a desktop app that puts a little goose friend on your screen who steals your mouse and shows you memes

I have a Question for the pvp veterans

Posted: 31 Jan 2020 11:42 PM PST

I have been playing for a year and have 200 + hours but I haven't once been to PvP . Today I got invaded by some unfortunate souland I absolutely murdered him. I am level 505 so this was a rare occasion as I thought that the amount of leveling I had done meant I was strictly out of PvP (I am too strong) So I was wondering can I invade or no? Cuz I really wanna try .

I took a stab at recreating the symbol of the Warrior of Sunlight, how'd I do?

Posted: 31 Jan 2020 11:10 AM PST

https://i.imgur.com/5yN8m1e.png

I made this using stained glass, the total length is 8" from the top sun ray to the bottom sun ray. The yellow sun is 3" in diameter. The face was a bit tricky to make, it is the only part that isn't glass. It is actually solder that is super glued to the glass. I played Dark Souls 1, but never finished it. Got stuck in Anor Londo fighting Ornstein and Smough.

Which stats should I upgrade for a Knight Character ?

Posted: 31 Jan 2020 06:57 PM PST

I want to use great weapons like Zweihander but at the same time a shield.

I'm upgrading the vitality, strength and resistance but I'm not sure.

Also thanks for your help ! I defeated the 2 Sword Black Knights at Un-dead Burg & Parish. However none of them drop me nothing more than titanite chunks.

I did it!

Posted: 31 Jan 2020 07:49 PM PST

Just punished Gwyn on the first try. Not even a single parry! Did have Solaire's help though. What a bro.

Thanks to the active community here on Reddit and encouragement to keep trying... I almost gave up at the undead burg and this was possibly my most enjoyable video game experience.

Left without lighting the bonfire.

Praise the Sun! If only I could be so grossly incandescent.
