    I No Hit Dark Souls at SL1, Weapon Level 0 (No Blacksmith Giants Hammer)

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 02:42 PM PST

    Hey there, I'm a No Hit runner. Not too long ago, I No Hit this game at SL1 No Upgrades All Bosses. A couple days ago, I took it to another level where I was SL1 but only used Weapon Level 0 weapons.

    For those of you who don't know, Weapon Level 0 is different from the regular +0 classification of weapons. Weapon level is a PvP matchmaking mechanic, and weapons like the Blacksmith Giants Hammer, the Jagged Ghost Blade, and any other weapon that can be upgraded with Twinkling Titanite, Dragon Scales, Green Titanite, etc. (pretty much any upgrade material besides regular titanite) are at least Weapon Level 5. This means I'm left with weapons like the Hand Axe, Reinforced Club, Battle Axe, Dagger, and the Pyromancy Flame all at +0 and SL1.

    The run is on Youtube if you want to check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2BRwo7cLNE

    The run was completed live on my twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/thatcoolblackdude

    JUST BEAT DARK SOULS!!!

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 03:27 PM PST

    It was a long journey (probably the longest game I've played btw) and I don't think I would've done it if it weren't for this AMAZING community.

    But wait. Didn't I ask about Dark Souls DLC in another post? Well, I thought about it and decided to leave it for NG+ and do the other ending after I beat the other soulsborne games.

    Thank you all for your amazing support!

    (I wanted a death counter at the credits but oh well)

    Shut up and take my money FromSoftware

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 02:32 AM PST

    Alright then, after the absolute masterpiece that DS1 was I decided to blindly buy DS2, DS3 and Bloodborne. All of them are on sale right now (ps4). I'm sure I'm in for a world of pain but fuck it.

    Think I'm gonna start with Bloodborne. Feel free to send beginner tips please!

    The Tomb of the Giants is genius.

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 04:51 PM PST

    I feel like this area gets a lot of hate relative to the rest of the game. But I would like to propose that it doesn't deserve this hate. The level design isn't terrible, the darkness isn't that big of an issue and once you escape the dark area it's just a straight shot to the boss... there is also a lot more area than most people will explore because many just run straight to the boss...

    But thats not what I'm talking about today... the area is genius because the area directly follows the Pinwheel fight. Pinwheel the Necromancer drops the rite of kindling and the direct next area is an area with a lot of very tough powerful areas with only 2 bonfires... the initial run has few enemies but once you reach the bonfire it becomes almost necessary to use kindling at the bonfire. Dark souls (especially DS1) is a game of learning and many times you are taught by experimentation. They show you something new then it's up to you to put it to use.

    Does Dark Souls 2 get better?

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 07:26 PM PST

    I've made it to the Pursuer. Which is a funny name for a specific boss because you could call every enemy that. Seriously, the enemies in this game follow you to the ends of the earth. It's such a pain just trying to run to the boss. I feel like so far I've been ganked or ambushed in every other area I enter. Lots of enemies just suck - those turtles. Hit boxes are kinda wonky so far. The combat feels light and airy too, like there's no weight behind the sword swings. It just feels off.

    Idk, does it get better? I love DS1, DS3, and BB. Just bought 2 on sale but I got it so cheap I'm tempted to throw in the towel. Should I keep going or does it stay this quality throughout?

    Hopefully it's okay to ask this here, I figured the answers would be biased in the DS2 subreddit.

    How the Dark Souls series saved my life and teached me lessons. (Trigger warning for depression and suicide!)

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 04:51 PM PST

    Before I can tell you about how it saved me, I guess I first have to tell you what it saved me from.

    In short my life was pretty hard. My father was abusive, my mother was alwasy drunk, my brother was even more abusive and my sister suffered under everything that happend and school.
    Since I was 8 I had problems with depression and suicide thoughts and every night I either heard my parents arguing in the kitchen or my mother crying. For years.
    I didn't get much sleep, didn't eat much and of course didn't know how to talk to people, making me teh weird kid at school everyone looked down on. Even my teachers had problems with me, one of them made me cry infront of class for forgetting homework, called me stupid and I think even gave me worse grades just because she didn't like me. She got fired a few years later I think.
    Anyways 8 years later, I was close to killing myself and a friend whom I had a crush on saved me by telling my parents on the day I was going to do it. After a bit of back and forth and serval days later, they put me on the waiting list for a mental clinic.
    At this point I didn't went to school anymore. The few friends I had didn't talk to me, my family tried to help me and I was pretty much at the end to a point where I tried to end my life again.

    The only thing keeping my mind off how shit everything was, were games, shows, anime and stuff like that.
    One day I saw that my brother had Dark Souls 1 on steam. Since we had family share, I thought I try it. He never actually played it, it was just once on steam cheap and he bought it for fun.
    Not having anything to do and thinking it might be fun I started the download. I thought I would play for an hour, then get frustrated or lost and then never play again.
    So the game started, I played and it was pretty fun. I went through the tutorial and kept playing.
    Again I thought I would break up soon, but there was just something about the game, that kept me playing. It was fun, but also really hard and frustrating of course.
    And everytime I rage quited or yelled that its "so unfair and dumb", I knew I would try again later.
    This was the first lesson I really got from the game: Take your time with things.
    You don't need to do everything on your first go and sometimes its good to quit the game for a few hours, relax, drink and eat a bit and then try again with new energy.
    While we are at it, making me scream and even a bit teary at times was also amazing for my mental health.
    You see being a 16 year old boy, with a shitty childhood, almost no friends, multipal suicide attempts, a drop out out of school and lossing the person I had a crush on pretty much all in one month, you could say I was pretty.. frustrated.
    I am not one to talk about my problems with people I know and care about at specailly not two years ago. And even in games I normally don't rage much. Sure everyone gets salty and I think every gamer has a little rage from time to time, but Dark Souls broke me.
    I screamed, I cried, I laughed and most importantly I felt proud of myself. I dealt with my feelings in a playful, healthy manner.
    Witch teached me yet another lesson: Feel your feelings and don't hide them.
    There are lots of things you can learn from yourself.
    When I first beat the Gargoyles after five hours of trying I screamed and was actually proud of myself.

    So the game went on. I played every boss in the game, even the DLCS ones and then beat the game.
    A friend of mine was with me then. Yes I actually talked to one of my friends again, because the game gave the confidence to do so. He already played through the games and looked at me like "I didn't know you had it in you!".
    And to this day we laugh about my reaction, when I frist met Gwyn. I walked through this door and then BOOM final boss "Plin plin plon" time baby. I literally screamed lmao.
    My friend told me the whole time "You can do it, you came this far, I want to see how you beat the game!"
    Witch yet again gave me another lesson: Friends are important.

    After DS1 was done, I decided to play DS2 shorty after.
    And I've gotta say.. DS2 isn't a very good game. Please don't be mad.
    It has bugs, bad hitboxes, bad desgin, bad AI, bad bosses, bosses that could be good but get ruined by bad hitboxes and so on.
    Does that mean I hate the game? OH HELL NO!
    DS2 made me rage the most, because it was literally unfair at times.
    And this gave me another lesson: Life can be unfair.
    But its the afford that counts. Even if life wants to see you fail or sir alonnes blade grabes you even tho you clearly were out of his reach, you have to keep going. Don't let them beat you.
    I realize that I praise the game right now for being poorly made, but I can't help it.
    It just felt so great to beat the game, with all its bosses and DLCS. I thought about quitting a lot, but I said to myself "NO! I won't let this game break me! I won't give up and lose to something like that!"
    Is Dark Souls 2 a good game? Well.. ehm.. probably not. Does it mean a lot to me and is in my heart? Yes of course, its just as important to me then DS1 and DS3.

    Dark souls 3 tho is the best one out of the 3 by far.
    Don't get me wrong DS1 is an amazing game, despite some of its short commings in the second half.
    But DS3 just nails it. The combat is amazing, the hitboxes are tight, the bosses are almost all amazing or at least solid. Not every boss of course, but I can't think of one boss where I thought "Thats unfair and bad.".
    If I quit DS2 and just went to 3, I wouldn't of felt half as good about the game.
    Witch yet again gave me another lesson: Earned victorys tast far better, then gifted once.
    So anyways I played through the game having a great time, but then.. something happend.
    My father. Died.
    It was a heart attack and it came out of nowhere. He didn't respawn, I couldn't say goodbye, he couldn't say sorry for everything he put me through, he was just gone. Dead.
    I cried once from the shock, but I couldn't bring myself to do it again. Of course I loved him, but he dealt too much pain to me.
    But still something wasn't right. You see he died from a heart attack. Only a few months after my suicide attempt and only a few days after a fight we had.
    Guilt was inside of me. Was it my fault? No I couldn't know that this would happen. Was I too harsh? No he ruined my childhood! What was the last thing he thought of when he died? Who cares about that, he deserved it!
    I was confused. But I didn't let it get to me. I needed to finish DS3. My mother was crying, my sister was crying, no one really knew what to do and everyone tried to deal with the situation.
    I did that by beating the game.
    And so I beat the Dark Souls series.
    I did it without any help too. I never summoned anyone, not even for one boss or area.
    Now I am not saying that people who summon are bad or play the game wrong.
    Getting help is a very important lesson and if you have more fun that way go for it.
    I just didn't want to quit again and stand on my own two feet.
    Not like I quit school, the girl I had a crush on or my fathers relationship.
    I wanted to beat all the games by myself, without help and damn I did it. There were times I was going to and where I thought about stop playing forever, but I didn't, I pulled through and to this day I am proud of that.
    Lesson: Be proud of what you did, even if its just beating a hard game.

    To be honest I don't know what I would of done without the souls series. Maybe I would of killed myself, maybe I would be a broken and terrible person or maybe I would of turned out fine.
    The only thing I know is that Dark Souls changed my life for the better and probably saved it.

    Now I have a therapist, more self confidence, try to find a new school, went to a clinic for months and just have a brighter out look on life. I am far from mentally healthy and still have a long way infront of me, but I know I can do it.
    And when ever I feel sad or don't know where to go or things just get too much for me and I feel like that frustrated guy from two years ago again, I start Dark Souls and scream about how unfair everything is only to keep going regardless and win the day at the end.
    Thanks for reading.

    Artorias was a lot better if a boss than I thought

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 04:04 AM PST

    I hadn't played any souls games in a few months and decided I wanted to do a soul level one playthrough and I underestimated how rusty I would be. I didn't get back to normal until I reached artorias which I previously thought was somewhat overrated but now that I fought him where he kills me in one to two hits and I'm not as good as I used to be I felt a lot of my past skill come back to me and his fight feels so fluid and natural to dodge every attack. In short this boss is a lot better now than the first time I fought it

    I conquered my white whale

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 08:35 PM PST

    On September 22, 2011 I started the hardest game of my life. For 9 years I've restarted time after time after time. I've died more times than I dare to count. I've gotten upset over it, obsessed over it, watched and read guides you name it. Tonight on December 21, 2020 I have finally conquered this. I can proudly say I've beaten the bloody game.

    Why you shouldn't look up things

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 02:03 AM PST

    Hello fellow chosen undeads or to be hollows. Sit around the bonfire with me and let me tell you my tale. I, first time experiencing the miracles of this game, ventured into the depths. A fellow popular under had a guide on how to get to the boss of the area without much trouble. However, I couldn't do it. After 3 failed attempts I was cursed making the boss from manageable to miserable IF I could even get to it. However I chose to search for a different road and found one much safer from the one that was proposed to me. To this moment I am fighting the mighty dragon with my ugikatana and my black bow of pharis. I don't know when I will beat it. But I will NOT go hollow. Let this be a short tale and a warning to this game. Venture and expirament and you shall be rewarded. Try to let others tell you how to fight... And be cursed.

    Shoutout to Polish Hammer

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 09:49 PM PST

    So I'm doing a fun run of a tanky knight type character named Knight Fink. I'm strolling through Sen's Fortress when I notice a gold summon sign directly on the scorched ground, right where an exploding boulder from the giant will be headed. I check the name- Polish Hammer- and bring them in.

    Right as I am thinking to myself "man wouldn't it be funny if they spawned into the fireball" that is exactly what happens. This naked sunbro wearing nothing but a bag over his head and a big diaper desperately tries to roll out of the explosion but alas, he perishes in a fiery blaze. I wait for a moment to see if the summon sign will reappear but it doesn't so I decide to just go kill the giant.

    As I'm making my way downtown to kill the boulder throwing bastard, I hear that bittersweet invasion sound. That's when I see it: Invaded by dark spirit Polish Hammer. Lo and behold, my ill-fated jolly cooperator has just spawned in behind me as a red phantom. He is upset that I brought him in to be fireballed and he wants his revenge. He tries a couple of jumping attacks with his warpick but I poise through with my knight armor and claymore him down. I wave goodbye and dispatch the giant.

    I check for a summon sign again and he's back! So I summon him in again. He immediately tries rolling away but don't worry bud because I took care of that mean old giant. He happily gestures and we go on our merry way. We kill Ricard, get the cage key (even though he missed the jump twice) and go up to dispatch the Iron Golem. Of course I sit back and eat popcorn while Polish Hammer and Iron Tarkus do all the work. I wave goodbye and make my way to Anor Londo.

    If you're out there Polish Hammer, that was fun. What a true Dark Souls moment that was. Don't give up skeleton!

    Dark Souls 3 Combat

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 03:08 AM PST

    I just finished dark souls 1 & 2 and having really enjoyed both decided to start DS3 but the combat feels different. Attacking seems faster and the enemies are more aggressive, kind of like Bloodborne.

    Wondering if this was the common perception or just in my head?

    Unpopular opinion:Capra Demon is an easy boss.

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 03:55 AM PST

    I don't see why people have such a hard time killing him, sure, a giant goat man and 2 zombie dogs of coming at you can scare the player and result in their death, but all you gotta do is run and jump to reach the stairs, once you've done that Capra is already dead, because you will kill both dogs and the goat is weak by himself, his attacks are very predictable.

    Basically all you need to do is have a fast movement speed.

    Question regarding levelling

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 03:43 AM PST

    I know the majority of the game comes down to skill but playing several Soulsbourne games before this I'm always quite keen not to overlevel and play areas at the 'right' level.

    My issue is that if I spent the majority of the souls I get I really do become over levelled and it seems a bit silly to spend the souls on armour and shards I won't really use instead.

    I was wondering how you all go abouts levelling? Do you upgrade continually as much as you can with the souls you get or do any of you purposely cap your level on certain areas etc?

    Also, what would you say is the right level to aim for the end game?

    Gwyn and nameless King are definitely bigger than people but not compared to her and gwyndolin is normal sized more or less, so why is gwynevere huge?

    I feel really bad for killing those two guys in Firelink Shrine...

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 07:13 PM PST

    So I just rang the first bell up in the undead chapel and because I was pretty strong I decided to try and face those two guys in single combat! But I feel really bad because of the lines they said after they died, and also because the place feels so empty without them. Especially the fat guy...

    Thinking of fighting my way all the way back to the chapel and getting repentance for my sins, cause there was a guy who offered to cleanse them but I didn't have any at the time.

    Also how can I feel better lmao any way I can avenge their deaths perhaps?

    Best build to speed through the game?

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 11:39 PM PST

    I just beat dark souls 1 for the first time, and right after I started new game plus I found out that ds1 remastered also includes the dlc.. so now I have to start all over just to get to it. So I want to get through most of the game as quick and easily as possible so I can do the dlc with good gear and be close to beating the game once I finish the dlc, so, what's the best build for that? Thanks.

    DS1 for a noob player.

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 01:02 AM PST

    Hello,
    My little brother (17) never played any dark soul games and wanted to play DS1. I've never played it either so i don't know if it's a good idea to buy him the game. He plays a lot on xbox so he's used to controller and video games in general.
    Thanks in advance for your replies !

    Different/Unusual equipment

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 04:36 AM PST

    Hello folks! I'm looking for equipment that provide unique moves in Dark Souls 1, and where to find them. Note that I'm not looking for anything stats or appearance related.

    As examples right now I can only think of the Dragon Bone Fist, which has a charge jumping uppercut, and in Dark Souls 2 there are some wings that make you slowly descend when you jump, but let's keep this thread about DS1, I'll go to the other games' reddit and start similar ones.

    Thanks in advance 😁
