| Posted: 01 May 2020 02:07 AM PDT I just finished my fight with Gwyn and let me just say... I fucking love this game. Recently I returned to the souls series, diving back into DSIII. I then saw the Remastered was on sale and decided to buy it. I never played the first dark souls, that is, I never got past the undead burg. For whatever reason, I fucking owned that shit. It was a mostly blind playthrough, I knew what to expect and who I'd inevitably have to kill, and I've watched a fuck ton of lore, but I didn't know where anything was, how to get anything, or how to fight anything. This game quickly rose above DSIII. There's just so much more lore and I find the combat better and the areas more fun, but that doesn't matter. Anyway, this fucking game is amazing and for every inch of torture, came another wave of euphoria when I finally killed that shit. Here's the video of me shoving my halberd down Gwyn's urethra I had not parried once before that fight so it took me a bit to get used to it, but I finally gut gud [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2020 07:21 PM PDT So, after starting this videogame thanks to my boyfriend (he won the platinum in PS4 and he absolutely loves this saga, specially this game; it's his favorite videogame in the world and knows a lot about it) tonight I beat it. I finally did. My bf and I bought it together like a year ago for Switch and I took it home. I started it distrustful. It was too hard, it took to many time, to many effort... for what? For dying and starting all over again? I left the game a lot of times and for long periods, but he always encouraged me to go back and to keep playing. My first bump in the road came with Ornstein and Smough: I couldn't beat them, no matter what. I almost gave up COMPLETELY and left the game for good: but I changed my mind; I wanted to continue and see what was going to happen after that battle. So I decided to farm knights in Anor Londo and level up as much as I could. And it worked, I beat them! One of the most fulfilling experiences ever. So I kept going, happier than ever, until I bumped into Seath. I truly left the game for good in the shelves, catching dust. For a looooot of months. But, this week my bf, once again, told me to play it again. 'You're near'. I was trulyyyy scared of fighting Seath bc of the curse, but I beat it. And Nito too, and today Bed of Chaos too, Four Kings too and finally... Gwyn. It was a really short fight, I mean, I think I expected something harder. I was used to parry sincd my bf told me I should learn to, even if I didn't want to. And then I understood it; Gwyn was an old man, weaker than ever and tired. Beating him was truly sad, and finishing the game was even sadder, so, of course I cried like a little bitch. I didn't want to finish it. This is truly one of the most beautiful videogames ever created and it's a poetic masterpiece that shows a lot of values and ethics. It's so deep and meaningful that always kept surprising me. I will go back to this game, 200% sure. It really was an amazing adventure. [link] [comments] |
| Has anyone else played this game so much that they forget the flow of the game? Posted: 30 Apr 2020 06:43 PM PDT School just got out. Have the rest of the week off work. Figured it'd be a good time to jump back in and do a play through of Dark Souls. Make character, run through asylum, run through and kill Gargoyles. Run down to Sif, die a couple times, wonder why I am struggling so much. Shrug, figure its time to kill Quelaag. Skip Blighttown, run in, struggle for awhile but eventually kill Quelaag. Keep running around, wondering why this game feels so much harder than it was the last time I played (~6 months ago). Then it dawns on me. I've leveled up like twice. Im still running around with a non upgraded weapon. Make it to Andre, upgrade weapon, level up a lot. Realize the game wasn't harder I was just stupid and had to accept im not a sl1 pro speedrunner.

| Is anybody on Xbox willing to trade their obsidian greatsword? Posted: 01 May 2020 04:58 AM PDT I really want to make a build around the sword but I already killed Kalameet, does anyone want to trade for theirs? Just comment an offer and I will say whether I have it or not [link] [comments] |
| My latest battle with Bed of Chaos, but with the Wilhelm Scream every time I died. Posted: 30 Apr 2020 03:16 PM PDT I absolutely loathe this boss. Here's a stupid video I just made: https://youtu.be/CclXxuUOzN4 [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 30 Apr 2020 04:35 PM PDT Hello everyone! First of all, I'm not a native english speaker, so there may be many typos and other errors here there, specially because my keyboard is not set for english, sorry for any possible problems understanding this post. Another thing to say before the real thing: Beware of Spoilers!! There will be important things about the story here!! The main subject here was going to be about Solaire, but I just finished Dark Souls for the third time yesterday for the platinum trophy on PS3 and enjoyed so much my time with the game that I decided to discuss other things that amaze me and made me think. In Dark Souls, it seems the concept of right and wrong is not clear, and is always up to you to judge what to do, like let someone live or kill for loot, help the NPCs or just ignore them and follow your adventure, Link the Fire or Let the Age of Darkness come. In my second playtrough, I knew most of the endings of the questlines, and this includes both endings of Solaire. This Warrior of Sunlight is in search of his own Sun, but unfortunately, he is led to a state of almost complete sadness, thinking his goal was impossible. This happens if you save him. BUT, thinking about the other possible event that I thought to be bad, Solaire is infected by the parasyte Sunlight Maggot, and the creature itself made me rethink my way of looking at this questline. If saved, Solaire is hopeless about his life goal, but what if, trying to save him, you just end depriving him from his objective? I mean, what if the Sunlight Maggot is his own Sun? The name of the creature, it's shape and ability to produce it's own light, all makes me think the Maggot is the Sun he is after, and there is only one of this creature in the entire game! At some point, Solaire mentions that would be great to be a mignificent body like the Sun. At first, having to kill Solaire was sad for me, but after this theory came to my mind, I thought that it could be what Solaire wanted instead of being hopeless of his future. All of that made me rethink my concepts of what is right or wrong, and it led to chose the Dark age instead of Linking the Fire, but honestly, I still don't know what is the right thing to do, or if a "right" choice does even exists. In my last playtrough, I chose to Link the Fire, didn't buy all of Reah's Miracles to keep her alive and killed Petrus (He looks too false to me) to prevent Reah from Dying. I tried to keep Laurentius alive too, but I could not find a way. I did all Logan's questline objectives, he went Hollow, but he wanted to pursue knowledge, so I chose to not prevent him from doing so. I did not kill Priscilla (I just couldn't, she was so kind trying to be pacific). I thinks this covers all I did and what I consider the best thing to do. Oh, about Siegmeyer. I just love him, the best character IMO. Did everything I could to help him and Sieglinde. The saddest questline ending. If I knew he was going to die, I would never complete his questline. At least, he met his daughter... There is one thing bothering me though: Sieglinde mentions something about "I'll Have to kill him again". What is that supposed to mean? I think that's all I wanted to say. Just share a little bit of my experience with the story and what I enjoyed in Dark Souls. And if anyone did read all this text, thanks for you attention ;) [link] [comments] |
| Should i upgrade gargoyle tailaxe to + 5 when i already have war axe+5 Posted: 01 May 2020 05:21 AM PDT I got some souls after destroying gargoyles and i dont know if its worth it [link] [comments] |
| First time playing Dark Souls - beat Ornstein and Smough first time! Posted: 01 May 2020 05:06 AM PDT I was anxious going into this fight as I'd heard it was super hard and this is my first souls game. I pretty comfortably beat them on my first try with Claymore + 15 and Grass Crest Shield +10. All their attacks were pretty easy to dodge/block and there was plenty of room for recovery. How come it was so easy? [link] [comments] |
| Backseaters complaining about first time players being "overleveled" or using "easy weapons" Posted: 30 Apr 2020 01:29 PM PDT I've seen this around in a couple of famous streamers chats, playing the game for first time. A lot of people downplaying the player progress through the game because it's using an "easy build" or "op weapon". "You should be using X weapon! Y weapon is for casuals". It's so annoying, reeks of insecurity, seeing people do better than you did your first time so now you have to downplay it for some reason. /rant [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 May 2020 04:34 AM PDT So I just found out that you can bounce on clams and jump to the height equivalent of two clams. You know the attack where the clam headbutts you? Well if you time it right you can jump on it and [link] [comments] |
| [Switch] I made a mistake with Manus' soul Posted: 01 May 2020 02:53 AM PDT Hello everyone. I just made the biggest mistake with Manus' soul ! I trade it to the crow instead of upgrading a catalyst ! Can someone trade me Manus' catalyst against anything ? [link] [comments] |
| A Quarantined Reaction to My 1st run of Dark Souls (Remastered): Posted: 30 Apr 2020 07:14 PM PDT WALL OF TEXT INBOUND. TL;DR at bottom. I had been looking for a game to dive into for a while during the quarantine, and Dark Souls came to mind. It's been a few years since I played Dark Souls 3, which ironically was my first game in the series, and I had played a couple hours of Bloodborne but never all the way through. I decided now would be a great time to jump back into the series, particularly with Dark Souls being remastered now. I played on the Xbox One X and very much appreciated the consistent 60fps. I wanted to write down some thoughts on the game now that this is my 2nd Dark Souls I've played. I guess technically I haven't played DS3 all the way through since I never got into The Ringed City, but I beat all the main game and Ashes of Ariandel in that one. Some notes on my playthrough: I'm a melee user. I embarrassingly realized midway through the game while trying to buy a spell to illuminate my way around Tomb of the Giants that I've never used spells in DS, so my love language is swords for sure. I followed a guide (booo I know. I didn't blind run it). My one self-criticism here would be that it let me get the Drake Sword early, which was quite useful for the first few bosses. I followed IGN's guide and suggested area order, which led me to go through like so: Undead Asylum/Asylum Demon:
Undead Burg/Taurus Demon:
Undead Parish/Bell Gargoyles:
Darkroot Garden/Moonlight Butterfly:
Lower Undead Burg/Capra Demon:
The Depths/Gaping Dragon:
Undead Asylum Part 2/Stray Demon:
Blighttown/Chaos Witch Quelaag:
Darkroot Garden 2/Sif:
Sen's Fortress/Iron Golem:
Anor Londo Pt 1:
Painted World of Ariamis/Crossbreed Priscilla:
Anor Londo Pt 2/Ornstein and Smough:
Great Hollow + Ash Lake:
Catacombs/Pinwheel:
Tomb of the Giants/Gravelord Nito:
Duke's Archives/Crystal Lake/Seath the Scaleless:
New Londo Ruins/Four Kings:
Valley of the Drakes:
Demon Ruins/Ceaseless Discharge, Centipede Demon, Demon Firesage:
Lost Izalith/Bed of Chaos:
Artorias of the Abyss DLC:
Kiln of the First Flame/Gwyn:
Overall thoughts:
Top 5 bosses:
TL;DR:

| Is there shame in googling mechanics? Posted: 30 Apr 2020 05:24 PM PDT Hey gang. After beating Doom Eternal on Ultra Nightmare, video games now seem too easy and I've been craving a bit of challenge. So, I've decided to get into Dark Souls, a famously brutally challenging game. Usually when I play games, I don't like to google mechanics or strategies, I like to discover these things by myself and perhaps google this stuff after I have the game beat to see if I missed anything. I have been playing Dark Souls, however, for about 2.5 hours, and the game seems to be pretty reluctant to explain anything. I'm reading all item descriptions and talking to the NPC's, and the game has thrown a bunch of mechanics at me (hollowing, humanity, summons, tonnes of ambiguous items, a smorgasbord of stats etc.) and I have no idea what any of this stuff does A select few stats and items have obvious descriptions, but most make no sense to me. After figuring out that the skeleton graveyard is the wrong way to go, I spent about an hour climbing the fortress wall in the opposite direction. I passed a bonfire and lit it, presuming that this activated the checkpoint. I learned the hard way that this is not the case, and ended up back at the starting area near the graveyard (does lighting a bonfire do anything at all?) I swallowed my pride, and googled "dark souls wiki bonfire," to learn that you must rest at a bonfire to use it as a checkpoint. I was previously avoiding this as I still had plenty of estus and viewed resting as being weak. My question is, can I learn all of the mechanics simply by pushing through and playing the game? Or do I need to research a lot of this stuff online if I want to understand? Thanks for helping out a newbie. Hopefully I'll be gittin gud real soon. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2020 08:06 PM PDT Went to talk to the giant blacksmith to upgrade some weapons, rushed to him, talked to him, as I was choosing what weapon I wanted to upgrade I get hit by a bat wing and takes me out of the blacksmith menu, as a reflex I swung at them with my sword hitting them but also hitting the giant, he started going after me so I had no other choice but to finish him, what hurt the most was his "nighty night" line 😠this is my first play through and I managed to kill Solaire and the giant 😞 Edit: : I'm a MURDERER and I can't spell 🤣😠[link] [comments] |
| Dark Souls is a game, meant for Jolly Cooperation more than anything Posted: 30 Apr 2020 05:13 PM PDT Okay. I know how most people perceive these games. A dark, relentless experience meant for masochists who hate themselves and for people to screw each other up... and maybe it is. But for all the setting up for player against player, there is twice as much for teamwork. Imagine playing in offline without others.. No messages to show illusory walls, no summons to help you (minus the NPCs) , no helping others for sunlight medals or easier grinding; it would be more hell than it already is. So remember that while Dark Souls are dark, teamwork is very prevalent, and highly rewarded, even when it's someone you don't already know. Have fun and Stay Grossly Incandescent 😊 [link] [comments] |
| The beam of light after placing the lordvessel Posted: 30 Apr 2020 07:14 PM PDT I just placed the lordvessel for my first play through of any souls game and I am absolutely addicted to the game and the lore. Once you place the lordvessel and the beam of light goes through the ruins in firelink shrine does anyone think that maybe the ruins are only left to walls from the many past warriors who have placed the lordvessel and send that beam of light. Possibly the beam of the years has added to the destruction of the floor in that area. Maybe a dumb thought but cool to think about. [link] [comments] |
