| I had never heard the plin plin plon before today. Posted: 02 Jan 2021 10:57 PM PST Dark Souls was the game I always admired from afar for years. I'd brush it off as something I'd never play because I didn't consider myself good enough. Beginning of 2019, I played Hellblade and really loved the swordplay, so I decided to buy Dark Souls cuz I figured they'd be the same. I was wrong. Got stuck at the Taurus Demon and gave up on the game for a while. It wasn't until January 2020 that I told a co worker my sob story and he taught me about the holy plunging attack. He gave me a bunch of pointers and told me the game was worth the trip. I reluctantly went back and got him on my first try! I was beyond shocked. After that, I picked the game back up, inching my way through meekly. I'd play it and put it down for a week before slowly I had found myself beating O&S. Because I had heard and seen so much about this game, a lot of the big surprises were ruined for me and I didn't get to play this game blind. It didn't take away from the magic, but there were some things I wish I didn't know about before I started. However, after joining this subreddit last February, I saw a bunch of memes about "plin plin plon" and genuinely had no idea what it was for a while. Then I learned about its place in the game and decided that I would NOT spoil that last thing for myself. I'm proud to say that today, after pushing through that final wall of fog, I understand why it haunts people. The sadness I felt seeing Gwyn hunched over a dying flame, the realization that I stood at the final gate of the game I told myself I'd never play...it was thrilling and wholly emptying. The fight was glorious, I don't think I've ever parried better than against him, but somehow...I wish the fight was harder. I had dreaded fighting the Four Kings for so long that I put it off, ready to just finish the game and be done with it, but after beating Gwyn...I just want to go back to Lordran. That song is magical, and I'm so glad I waited to hear it until I saw him myself. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 06:21 PM PST Ok, disclaimer before anyone tells me to get gud: yes, I DID beat the Capra demon. It just sucked and I want to blow off some steam, lmao. I had been warned of this boss (this and the bed of chaos, which I am not looking forward to) before playing DS1, but I wasn't fully prepared for its level of awfulness. The boss itself? Actually, totally fine. Huge damage, but attacks so well telegraphed your 95 year old grandma could see them coming. A from software special, really. The arena? Honestly, not bad either. The Capra demon honestly would probably be really easy if it was fought in a big arena, since you could bait his lunge attack over and over. So I think the tiny arena adds some much needed challenge. The issue is those dogs. My god, those dogs. I know they say all dogs go to heaven, but can we make an exception for them? Those little shits will always get in your way and end up pushing you straight into the Capra demon's way, who will gladly give you a facefull of cleaver. I'd even be fine with them if their staring locations were consistent - then you could at least learn their patterns - but they seem to move every time. Ugh. Probably took me a solid 20 minutes of repeat tries. Died so much I apparently summoned a gravedigger, who I plan on googling after typing this since apparently he creates disasters, or something. I'm really loving this game so far - it's my 3rd from software after bloodborne and the new demon's souls - but my god, does Capra demon suck. That's all. Have a lovely day! [link] [comments] |
| I beat Dark Souls for the first time today! Never give up on this game Posted: 02 Jan 2021 05:01 AM PST No spoilers btw. I can definitely say that this is one of my favorite games ever. Top 10 at least. For anyone who lost motivation or got stuck somewhere and gave up out of frustration, I want you to give it another go. It feels SO GOOD whenever you get over whatever bs you had to deal with. This made me feel like I was good at something, like I was getting better as a player as I learned more stuff, memorized patterns, and got good at reading enemies. 1 down, 2 to go (but I'll probably play all of FromSoft's stuff after I'm done with the trilogy anyway lol). I had some stuff kinda spoiled for me, but I don't think it ruined the experience much. It doesn't really help you out past basic movement and attacking. I say it's good to look some stuff up to save yourself time, too. I'm especially glad that I watched one video about things new players should know because I definitely would have wasted a lot of souls on my resistance stat lol. This game holds up a decade later and it's a one of a kind experience that deserves the recognition it's been getting over the years. [link] [comments] |
| I forgot how lonely this game gets once you start ng+ Posted: 02 Jan 2021 06:00 PM PST I miss seeing summon signs 😠I'm at sl100 now, trying to stop at 120 because I heard that was the cap people stop at. I usually just go hard and try to get as high leveled as possible. [link] [comments] |
| So this is what emptiness feels like. Posted: 02 Jan 2021 01:40 PM PST I just beat dark souls in a light armour dex build and now I feel so lost... I have ds3 downloading right now but damn the last game to invoke such an emotion on me was undertale which was like 2014 and i just graduted middle school. I almost feel like i want to put that bug light helmet on my head and go back to dark souls, does everybody feel like this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Jan 2021 01:06 AM PST I finally got a platinum! I really don't have time for video games anymore these days, but I love this game so much, and this community for being awesome. [link] [comments] |
| Just want to say, I am playing this game simply because of the community and the support Posted: 02 Jan 2021 06:39 PM PST I finished DS3 which seems to be a much more modernized, "fluid" installment recently. I guess it's slightly, if not much, easier to get into. If it weren't for the fantastic support from this sub, I never would've touched the game. It would be difficult for a casul like myself to want to play an "old" game, as I typically do not do this. However, I'm having an absolute blast, and this community is to thank for it. Give yourselves a pat on the back, try finger but hole, and praise the sun! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 05:56 PM PST On my latest playthrough I figured I'd give the Siegmeyer quest a go So with a guide in hand I start. Sens fortress I rerouted the ball for his lazy ass, Anor Londo I cleared the path for the scaredy cat, meet at firelink and he thanks my brave badass self and gives me a spell, in Blighttown I deliver his forgetful sorry sleepy butt some freshly picked purple moss clumps, then I head to Dukes Fortress and free his daughter who immediately seems more brave than her father. Then I find him in Lost Ilzalith standing over a pit of blenderheads, so I meticulously start talking them out one by one with a bow. But as I kill the second to last one the final one dies for no apparent reason. So there I sit with good ole Siegmeyer at full heath at the top of this empty pit after spending hours trying to do this quest correctly and thanks to some kind of glitch I now miss out on my chance to finally see the ash lake ending and get my slab. I got a dumb ring FUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK!! [link] [comments] |
| Dark Souls series Have Changed My Life !!. Posted: 02 Jan 2021 01:23 PM PST ok, when u read the title of course u thought iam some kind of fan boy who`s just praising his favorite series of all time , but no ! im not joking . as some of u guys know that dark souls series is about dying over and over , i used to play LoL a lot , i was addicted to it and i was a toxic flamer noob , i used to rage a lot and got banned serval times because of that , which resulted in me quitting league after that i needed to back away from online games and take some rest , so i went to single player games , and i knew about dark souls before but i didnt have the chance to try it before , but now nothing is stopping me so i started off with dark souls 3 , and i died A LOT OF TIMES , maybe 500 or so and i raged A LOT , even broke some of my stuff , but for some reason i continued playing it , it charmed me idont know how , any way after dying and raging a lot , i finally finished the game after that i played the previous 2 games and the same thing happend , but even tho i HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE , but after that i realized something , the rager me have gone , my personality has changed 180degree. i became a calm person , no matter what happens i stay calm and keep trying until i do what i want and that is of course because of the time i spent dying on dark souls series , which taught me that raging only result in losing souls XD which means losing in general , all of that happend just because of dark souls series !! it had a large impact on my life . a positive one and i really really thank miyazaki for creating such a masterpiece for people to enjoy and even benefit from . sorry if i had any mistakes my native lang isnt en . thank u for reading <3 [link] [comments] |

| [PC: REMASTERED] I got hacked and not sure if there's any way to fix it Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:33 PM PST So I'm semi-new to the souls franchise. I started out on the 360, but gave up forever-ago because of how hard it was. Recently I've been working on quitting smoking and playing the souls series games to help get through that. I've definitely fallen in love with the series like I never have before. Through my depraved struggle both in-game and irl, I've neared the end of my journey in Dark Souls: Remastered and have found myself hacked. I play on PC and one day after logging in I've discovered a couple of things that have affected my playthrough:
This is all I've noticed so far. As you can tell from the initial context, this run means a lot to me and I'd prefer to recover it or be able to go through it still without things being worse than they already are. Any advice on how to fix this, or clarification on what would happen to my run would be greatly appreciated! I'm pretty pissed that this happened considering all that I'm going through just playing the game. I hope the reddit dark souls community is much more uplifting than the hacker side. Much appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| FINALLY DEFEATED KALAMEET AND GOT HIS SWORD Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:10 AM PST After 2 weeks of tries I finally defeated that bastard kalameet and got his obsidian greatsword omg feels good man [link] [comments] |

| (Possibly Dumb) Lore Question: How much do Undead/Unkindled regenerate when killed? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 10:51 PM PST If I am correct, Undead and Unkindled revive and regenerate when killed. If that's the case, is a limit to this regeneration; for example: if an Undead loses a limb then is killed, will they regain that arm or leg by the time they revive or leave a stump in its place? And what about beheading an Undead; would they regrow their head, or is decapitated a permanent death? It's a bit odd to imagine an Undead regrowing their entire head. I suppose that would happen considering it wouldn't be immortality otherwise, and I'm sure a few (if not a lot) of NPC's would prefer death over Hollowing. Sorry if this is a bit silly, but I would like your guy's thoughts on this. P.S. This is my first post on Reddit, so sorry if I broke any of the rules! [link] [comments] |
| I got 1 million souls and fucked up with leveling them up! Posted: 02 Jan 2021 12:34 PM PST I was so excited to level up my intelligence and faith, but dumbass wasn't paying attention and accidently leveled up my resistance. Time to farm all that soul back :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 03:25 PM PST Let's talk about a character that is so easily forgot. Let's talk about You. You walk these halls and these places, and yet for some reason you still don't know why. NOTE: I don't know whether to place this in story or lore because... it feels like both? I'll be using lore points to make this narrative anyway. In the beginning, there was the advent of fire, and with it came disparity. Within disparity, the concept of unity and division were formed by the mere existence of the Great Ancient Souls: Gwen, The Lord of Light; The Witch of Izalith, The Progenitor of Demons; Nito, The Lord of Death; and The Furtive Pygmy, so easily forgot yet the progenitor of Humanity. But before they even laid claim to the title Progenitor or Lord, they were the darkness eternal that finally learned about light and the First Flame. Two became light and the energetic chaos of it, and the other two became death and Humanity. But let's talk about You. You've already forgotten who you are, didn't you? You always do. Again and again, you walk these halls, brandishing a myriad weapons without really knowing why. And when you do know why, you sometimes refuse it, and you sometimes accept it; disparity does that to itself, and is like the two sided coin that gives you luck in DS3. And the Answer to you is meaningless as up you climb the spiral stair of Being and Not-Being. You burn passionately, and sometimes in darkness quiet do you coldly brood. But like the cycle of flame that you bear upon your chosen, undead flesh that slowly sheds to ash that fills the entire world like a barren desert, it all comes round: An ouroboros, a snake eating itself eternally— and boy, didn't those primordial snakes love to lie to You with truth speaking thereof? So you went on adventure. The first time, you got yourself thrown in prison for looking undead and forgot why the fuck you did that to yourself. Maybe an excuse to do something different, to give you new purpose and drive. Because though disparity gave the world color, the grey at the beginning of time never left either, and repetition does eventually suck out all the life and color and return it to its original grey. Prison made sure to light a multi folate colorful spark in you once again however. Rehabilitation does work from time to time it seems. So you passed your parole board by telling a demon to eat shit and go cry to its tentacle-bug-tree-bed of chaos of a mother whom you would also kill later. And if you didn't let the gray get you and let yourself lie languid on the floor near a bonfire for eons as you are prone to do, you got yourself and your Lord Souls pals to the First Flame to either burn fantastically and rekindle the age of fire, or to leave darkly to set off the age of Humanity. But regardless of which age you picked, just like the Answer it didn't really matter. Ages age (hence why they're called ages) and die like the people and You that populate it. Dark Lord or Lord of Cinder that you picked as your fate, you would do both eventually. It would come to bite you in the end at the close of the world. So you decided to come back a second/a lot of times in a new form— this time forgetting your own mother because you hate her so much and wanted to see her face melt while some old blind bitch cackled in the background. Your perception of "fun" and "adventure" is distorted, you know that don't you? Regardless, you lost your first memory and got labeled a "bearer of a curse" by some dragon lady and went off on your merry way and getting once again bombarded with lordship and monarchy and being the true "heir to the thrown"— which is a euphemism for your sick fetish of burning yourself alive when you're bored of being a dark emo bitch that goes "oh I'm a human, woe is me." Wait, didn't You already hear this before? Well just like your melted face mother, the memory is gone. Your memory and yourself are ALL so easily forgot, aren't they? Everyone forgets you, and you even forget yourself without even really knowing why. Your lord friends are also sporting new looks as well. Ones into scat instead of skeletons now— calls himself "The Rotten". They also don't know their own names anymore because this isn't actually the first time this has happened, and has happened countless times. At least you can be confident in knowing you're not the only "easily forgotten" thing around these parts. "Kingdoms have rise and fallen on this very spot", as some feeble cursed one once said to you— couldn't even see potential when it stared him in the face, and probably why he got turned to stone due to sheer lack of awareness. This is all starting to turn into a tragic comedy. Well anyway, you go and do the thing again and get put with yet again another useless choice— but it's DIFFERENT. And boy doesn't that butter your undead muffins. The consequences are the same however; you either burn to a crisp or become The Dark Lord ("redundant to call me that", you think at the core of your soul) or go out and find a "different" third path. But the thing with circles is they have infinite angles. And in a cycle, no matter what path you choose out of all the infinite paths, they must return back to a central starting point. You think to yourself that perhaps this "viscous cycle" is more of a viscous spiral. Spirals after all are just circles that circle around itself while going "up". Turning and turning in a widening gyre— no wonder the falcon cannot hear the falconer. And things must fall apart eventually, for even a system of circles and a spiral fire cannot hold forever, as the ash that it exhausts is also infinite and has to smother it one day. Again, a snake eating itself. And may be you "forget" on purpose because of all the guilt you hide for knowing this inevitable demise. And you the undead cannot recall nor hear your memory like a tragic comedy about cosmic dementia. Your name you forget once again, but this time you probably didn't "link the fire" this time around because you were off bumbling about trying to find a third option that you got into an old habit and laid languid in a coffin and started gathering dust. Or maybe you wanted to just turn to ash after one too many burnings. Even without memory, I'm quite sure one would get sick of being used as kindling and fuel for the fire of the world. Either way you look at it, you gave up this time around— but You are not the World, and the World requires kindling to sustain itself of its disparity and not return to the gray, dead crag it once was. A whisper of a friend comes back to you, saying "life is brilliant. Beautiful. It enchants us, to the point of obsession." And the world is not so easily wanting to let go of its beautiful obsession to disparity. And so the world simply found others to use until your eventual return to the scene: You quiet, furtive thing. They call you an Ashen One this time around and you go back into those same halls of adventure, without really knowing why besides the same old excuse to go and link the fire. But now you're at the end of the Age of Ages, and you realize you are missing something deep within that you have forgotten. It's not "gone" completely when I say missing, but it is dispersed and you are only holding a part of it. You feel like a well, rotted scrap of a much bigger painting. And so The Painter comes and cues you to go to the end of the end. You see Lapp remembers his life as Patches and he evokes the words "a fine dark soul, to you." Like a spell, you are broken from a stupor you even forgot you were in and you finally realize your guilt that you kept in secret and furtively hid even to yourself. Because you did saw the age of dark and the age of fire, and you saw the endless cycle of suffering. Because how can you, the progenitor of humanity, bear the guilt of knowing that your dark soul has allowed for a myriad human lives to suffer throughout endless eons and ages? Best to keep quiet about it all... Yet you know you can't play this game (pun intended) any longer, and it all must come to an end. You finally face the mirror of your darkness profound— another nobody named Slave Knight Gael. It ruined him, destroyed him. He was filled wild with pure humanity, and its pure form is "obsession." The most human thing: The will, the drive for purpose and life, turned dark. Behold, Humanity! Even light fears it. And for him, it took on the form of obsessing of taking your dark soul for its own— obsessing for more pigment for his lady; a loud, wild thing that was different from your furtive self. And you felt hollow starring at the fullness of the sight you haven't once looked at since the dawn of the world. But a mirror can never take nor become the object in which it reflects. It can only simply remind what one is and looks like. And so it did, and you created a world in your forgotten name and then fought your other half at the Kiln of the First Flame to finally reunite and unify after being divided since the lord of light trapped you with him in his bright cycle of despair and disparity. The two become one as you imbibe the soul of the final lord and all your past lives that came before and finally remember who you are. You are the Furtive Pygmy, and also Nobody and No One. For you, You either ended with the ending of the bonfire with the fire keeper or you became the lord of hollows/humans, as you are the furtive Pygmy and thus the only one who can claim the title of the Lord of Humanity and Dark. Whichever one, like all the other choices before, it doesn't matter as the outcome is the same again. For you, you wanted to go and be in a "calm, dark and very gentle place": you prefer the quiet, after all. So you dove down into a new painting known as "Furtive Ash", and the dark soul of mankind was finally put to rest with its original owner. And then you awoke in a new world to play out this story as fiction. And you played it... without really knowing why, you furtive little thing you. (Lol jk jk on that M. night Shaymalan ending! Lol, could you imagine?) [link] [comments] |
| My sister is not a gamer, yet she has agreed to try Dark Souls Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:31 AM PST So, my sister doesn't really play video games (at least not any SERIOUS™ ones), but she's watched me play through several games in their entirety, and even nervously taken the wheel once or twice. Last week, we started talking about Dark Souls, and I half-jokingly suggested that she try it out. To my surprise, she was super down, and we're planning to get started pretty soon. I'm excited to get to watch someone I know do a pure blind play-through, but I want to do as much as I can to keep her from getting discouraged. Any suggestions for what style of guidance I should employ, and/or spoiler-free tips to help get her started? I might run the idea of streaming the whole thing on twitch past her, we'll see. It's bound to be pretty funny. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:49 PM PST I want to play the remake of demon souls and have never played a souls game before.

I struggled in that game on normal difficulty and I'm wondering how much worse thesd games are going to be. Please be kind [link] [comments] |
| Hello, I have a question about Pyromancer. Posted: 03 Jan 2021 02:03 AM PST I play Dark Souls 3 on Ps4 and I chose Pyromancer for the starting class. But I really can't aim the fireballs properly. I can not shoot the enemies with it. It is so hard. Is it possible to use auto aim or something. I really need help. [link] [comments] |
| What’s the deal with dark souls keyboard and mouse? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 07:06 AM PST I've noticed a lot of hate for keyboard and i want to know why. KBM player here, i use controller when playing on Switch and kbm when on PC. I have used controller on PC too, but I really just prefer playing keyboard, and Im much better with keyboard (100+ hours on both layouts). Why is keyboard seen as so much worse than controller? is it just a taboo, like eating pineapple pizza, for example, or is it actually mechanically worse for some reason? let me know plz!

| A Cinematic Tour Through Lordran Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:11 AM PST The Sights and Sounds of Dark Souls Thought it would be a bit different, so I put this together to show off the environment of Dark Souls as a whole. Was a lot of fun to do, so I'm playing on making a few more of them for some other games. Hope you enjoy it. [link] [comments] |
| How to defeat the four kings on NG+? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 05:40 PM PST I am genuinely stumped. These guys are even worse on NG+. Feels genuinely impossible to kill just one king. Anyone know the best way/gear to kill four kings? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 10:18 AM PST I was starting a new playthrough determined to make a pure strength build and really wanted the BKH from the start since i never used it on my.forst playthrough, but wasnt willing to go through the hassle of starting and restarting runs just to get it. Went to the darkroot basin and used the 5 humanity i had one me. Knocked down the knight and lo and behold the BKH first try on my second playthrough ever on DS.
