    An incredibly stupid realization about the Bells of Awakening

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 01:13 PM PDT

    Okay, this is mind-boggling in its dumbness, and I'm sure someone else out there realized it already, but I had to post it.

    The Bells of Awakening. They're not like, spiritual or metaphysical awakening or anything. They're literally Frampt's alarm clock.

    Thou who art Undead, art chosen… In thine exodus from the Undead Asylum, maketh pilgrimage to the land of Ancient Lords… When thou ringeth the Bell of Awakening, the fate of the Undead thou shalt know.

    Oscar tells you that like a prophecy, but everything he says translates literally. "Go to Lordran, ring the bells to wake up the moustache-snake under Firelink, he'll tell you what's up and what to do next."

    I beat ornstein and smough in my first attempt

    I Wish there was a brag flair. I probably wouldn't have been able to do it without my sun bro tho :)

    It wasn’t until I killed Ornstein and Smough for the first time that I realized that Dark Souls was probably the best game I’ll ever play

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 09:32 PM PDT

    I remember going past the fog for the first time and getting destroyed in under 10 seconds. A few attempts later I had been able to last 20 seconds. I thought to myself, fuck man this ones going to be brutal, and checked the time on my phone. 11pm. Alright, I told myself, I'll give it until 2am and if I still can't get it I'll try again in the morning. Then it happened. I finally killed that fat piece of shit and that supercharged spear guy. I had so much adrenaline I couldn't help but to scream with joy. I jumped up and was stomping around howling that "I did it" when a few minutes later I get a knock on the door. My downstairs neighbors had come up to politely tell me and to shut the fuck up.

    I'll never forget how shocked I was to see a sunny day when I opened the door. It was 8:20 am. I stayed up all night, playing nearly 12 hours straight, without noticing the time. I was so invested in killing those fucking assholes that the outside world faded entirely.

    No game I've ever played or will ever play has that effect on me. I finished my first run a few days ago and I still can't stop thinking about this game. Truly a masterpiece.

    Quanrantine turned me from a perfect newbie even tho i bought my first souls game 4 years ago, into a boss slaying machine.

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 04:55 PM PDT

    Quarantine literaly gave me the time to git gud, and i'm proud to say that today, i've beaten every single bosses in Dark Souls Remaster, in 19 hours (where my first finished playthrough with no optional bosses took 30). So, each and everyone, gitting gud is real. It just needs time, and practice.

    I did it

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 02:48 AM PDT

    Yea bois, i did it. After 30 hours of playing this masterpiece, i did it. In the recent months i completed dark souls 3 first and it was the best game i ever played. But this one...this one is different. I am a fan of fast dodging and rolling so this game wasn't so great for me mechanically but i felt something special when playing it compared to ds3. It has such an unique feel to it. Everything is so dark and full of despair compared to ds3. This was the third time i picked up this game, first two times i quit in the middle of undead parish, i just couldn't beat the knights. But my mentality changed and oh well on the first day i was already in blighttown. I don't understand why people hate this area so much, to me it's fantastic. But then, when all was looking good, in came Sens fortress aka my worst nightmare. I died there the most probably and when i reached anor londo i was certain i am going to beat the game. But then came the hardest boss for me, the famous duo, Ornstein and Smough. I had fun with them for a good three days before i finally killed that fat executioner and his lion bro. After that, it was a child's play beating the rest of the game(except bed of chaos i despise whoever came up with the idea for it). All and all it was a fantastic game and i wish more people woud play trough it cause these games truly are one of the best ones imo. One more question- what should i play next? Sekiro or Dark souls 2?

    Thank You Dark Souls-My Boi Dunkey

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 04:09 PM PDT

    So, forgive me if this is long, but I wanted to post this somewhere because I don't have people in my life fo talk about this game too.

    This series saved me. When this game came into my life a mere few months ago, I was at my lowest low. I hid from everyone in my life, even though it was obvious that I was still doing horribly, I couldn't convey exactly how much. I felt like I had lost all my relationships after some things happened, and the ones I did have were paper thin. I felt like a shell of myself, I had lost motivation, was packing on a lot of weight, and I was smoking a TON of weed. I was depressed as hell, and came awfully close to suicide many times, as well as nearly losing my job. My situation isn't the worst out there, I won't make it out to be. But I used it as an excuse to treat myself like crap.

    Then came Dark Souls. This is a game I tried when I was younger and I ended up despising it. The difficulty was too steep. I hated the gameplay, and I was disinterested in the lore. I stopped after reaching Blight town, feeling utterly defeated, dying to toxic, gravity, and those stupid little fire dogs that exist for no reason other than to crush your spirit time and time again. I decided to try and take on the challenge again after some convincing from a good friend of mine, choosing to start with Dark Souls 3. I actually breezed through every boss up to the Dragon Slayer Armor, and I couldn't understand why I would dislike this type of game in any way. It felt like everything I wanted in a video game. God, fuck Dragon Slayer. I was so angry I was crying a bit after three hours of wailing on this guy and never dipping him past half health. After feeling like there was no hope, I did a nearly flawless run on him and won. The rush was exhilarating. And it was empowering. To finally overcome the failure I had endured time and time again and to do it with almost perfect execution, that was what made me feel bad ass. Not some QTE, some overblown event in the game, but it was me learning, growing as a player, and defeating what seemed to be insurmountable that gave me that rush. Once again, I proceeded to breeze through most bosses, having more difficulty with some of the minibosses throughout the game. Lady Friede was so much worse. I truly believe she was created to try and make the player miserable. I lost thousands of souls. I used every item I could. Nothing worked. I'll never forget losing 100000 souls to her. I didn't think I'd be fighting a boss and... Well, should have been more observant.

    I can ramble on about my experience with Artorias, Owl (Father), Manus, Kos, and many others, the list goes on and the unique experiences I had in these games will always be special to me. The games taught me to start looking for ways to control my anger and react differently, they taught me that failure isn't just okay, but necessary for growth. You have to lose to learn, sometimes you'll get a win with ease, but that is built upon what you've learned from your past failures. Everyone struggles, as told by the countless bloodstains from other players you run past on your journey. But you haven't truly lost until you give up and never come back to face that challenge. Isn't that what it is to go hollow, to give up, lose purpose? It motivated me to change my life, lose a lot of weight, eat right, to push past all of my failures and build on their foundation. And I couldn't be happier now.

    Praise the sun and thank you to the wonderful community these games have :)

    Long time FromSoft player First time SL1 run

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 02:34 AM PDT

    So I'm planning on SL1 all the Dark Souls games and BL4 Bloodborne games, but I've hit my first roadblock in Quelaag the last thing I want to be doing is summoning in help but will if push comes to shove, does anyone have any tips? I'm currently running the commonly recommended Pyro/Reinforced club, i do call in Mildred for support but find myself either getting combo'd to death or one shot by the AOE attack.

    [Spoilers] I just saw an image of Sif and Artorias, and it brought me back to when I beat the DLC before having to fight him. And the cutscene just makes the fight so sad.

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 12:01 AM PDT

    The image had Sif being the light to Artorias's darkness, and it had a note of. "It's better to walk in the dark together than to be in the light alone." Now I'm a heartless bastard in Dark Souls 3 and I had never cried in a video game, except after I killed a whimpering and limping Sif after that cutscene several years ago in Dark Souls 1, I tried my best to end it in as few blows as possible to be merciful and even almost had him skip the limping and whimpering part but he had a little bit of hp left, I had beaten the game multiple times and I never had that bad of issues, but you see I'm a canine lover, dogs, wolves, coyotes. I love all of them, so when you hear that sad whimper after he realizes who you were, and then fight and kill him. It's just the saddest moment in Dark Souls, now I've fought the gravetender and his wolf several times in Dark Souls 3, and that can remind you of them, but there's no cutscene and that wolf is absolutely a dick that just wants to eat you for breakfast and he's an absolute pain to fight. And the gravetender has no tragic backstory. I totally and completely hate Manus even though he's a pretty cool boss to fight, for corrupting Artorias and causing the probably the saddest part of the lore of the Dark Souls series. So if I ever get remastered I wouldn't be surprised if I refused to fight Sif at least before I finished the DLC to where I got that cutscene. I just wish you didn't have to kill Sif and that he was optional, like if you could go out and grab the ring and bone out or let him kill you. I do not enjoy killing nice animals like him in video games where it actually covers something on him where you figure out he's just protecting his owner's resting place.

    Edit: Also keep in mind that I'm 18 so when I did this I was probably 12-13 years old or so, a little more sensitive back then.

    Help?

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 02:15 PM PDT

    Okay so my husband really likes getting summoned and helping with boss fights, however he almost never gets summoned. We've got the ps4 dark souls remastered, would anyone be interested in summoning him for boss fights?

    He's level 23 with a faith build, but also a really good player, he's been playing dark souls for years.

    Also I'm new to this subreddit so I don't know anything about it, sorry! Thank you!

    Finished Dark Souls and finally understand.

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 05:53 PM PDT

    I was never big on these type of games until quarantine kicked in and I had to find something new to satisfy me. So I decided to buy games out of my comfort zone like Dark Souls and put it in my backlog. This might be one of my fav games of all time. Not joking. Definitely up there with Bloodborne (btw I played Bloodborne first then DS). But I'm kind of disappointed with Gwyn. Just pull the parry mechanic and you win. I really like his soundtrack tho.

    Thank you all for being very welcoming. Will play the other games including Sekiro in the future!

    Why are some people immune to damage?

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 10:50 PM PDT

    I just invaded someone in Oolacile named BEE. They took no damage(literally none) from any of my attacks despite the fact that they were connecting(I'm using a chaos claymore and they had the little fire animation on them when I hit them). They could also hit me when their weapon didn't even touch me. How are they doing this and how do I beat it?

    Killed Arty 1st try after getting stuck with O&S for 2 days and killed Seath in 4 Tries.

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 10:01 PM PDT

    I got a Switch last year and played Dark Souls Remastered for the first time. Prior to this, I know nothing about FromSoftware and DS games. I'm not a gamer - took me 3 tries to kill Pinwheel (did it at SL1 coz I saw it in a speedrun idiot me) I never knew if I got gud in this game.

    I've finished Dark Souls last week. After failing to parry Gwyn so many times it became a muscle memory and finished him. I guess thats the beauty of this game - you fail, you win, you surprise yourself. My brother recommends Sekiro but I'm scared of it lol.

    I finished Dark Souls for the first time.

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 08:02 PM PDT

    20 minutes ago I completed my first FULL encounter with Dark Souls.

    And without ever playing DS2 and a few minutes from DS3, I honestly feel a mixture of feelings about this beautiful, dark, misunderstood and unrivaled title. When my mind realized that I brought the final blow against Gwyn, Literally all my passage in the game passed as a flashback in my subconscious and I felt that time stopped while seeing as my King's Sword of Cemetery gave his stroke of grace.

    I firmly believe that what this title generates in each first player is something COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE.

    I enjoyed and suffered every enormous and minuscule corner, enemy, secret and advices that I found over time.

    In my case, I remain with many educations and metaphors that, at least I captured, the game gave me as a player.

    In short: I think "Dark Souls: Remastered" is or is going to be one of my favorite video games, since it not only tests you against different enemies and fight zones, but also gives you endless opportunities to achieve your specific goal, whatever the latter. Soon I will continue with DS2 and DS3, I don't regret at all that I bought this saga. Miyazaki I love you.

    Never dare to become hollow and PRAISE THE SUN !

    Dark souls remastered keeps disconnecting

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 03:32 AM PDT

    I'm playing ds1 remastered on the PS4 and it keeps disconnecting from the server and sending me to title screen. It doesn't display any error code or anything just saying that it disconnected has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? I'm just about to fight ornstein and smough and I don't need the added stress of it disconnecting during the fight.

    Should I invest in faith?

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 06:25 PM PDT

    Should I invest in faith so I can properly use Astora's straight sword or should I get my strength up to 24 so I can properly use Zweihander and find a different weapon. I plan on using Zweihander but want a second weapon.
