I found it strange that the Lecture hall seemed to be in excellent condition when compared to the dilapidated shithole that is the rest of Yharnam.

you could trick ceaseless into killing himself by luring him towards the fog gate, he would lunge and try to crush you with his fist and if he missed you he would just fall to his death

the problem is that his fist had the hitbox of the entire game and instakills so you had to time a roll or get lucky, and this trick only works the first time you fight him so if you gently caress up and get killed then you better go buy a bigass fire resistant shield and be ready to just tank him for 5 minutes while taking potshots at his tentacle things

i think you might be missrembering that a bit wrong. there are two ways to trigger the fight. you either grab the stuff off the corpse at the end of the arena or by hitting him direclty.

after that just spring back to the foggate. mr spider son takes some time, then swings his fist at you, completely misses and gets it stuck on some stuff. then you need to hit it 5 times and he falls into the lava and dies. the hitbox is actually pretty small, and nothing can happen if you press against the fog

It's loving cool when you throw open the double doors and there's a surprise black hole behind it and your char has 0 hesitation of calmly walking into it.

Amy fight awesome cause you just stand still when she jumps and get free hits on the head and then dodge toward her combos and gently caress her up.

What a great fight

The real boss of demons souls were those lava monsters in some cave you could easily fall into

Demons souls is very hazy because I sucked too much and was just amazed you could dual wield shields

I spent way too long farming the shield knight guys in the crypt in DS2 so i could make a gimmick invader character that pretended to be a third one of those.

Killed amy in defiled, now to kill my self in these last two level 5 dungeons to get the roots so I can get a blood rock

Jesus Christ, would've been easier just to do ng cycles

The coolest set in the chalice dungeons are the loran areas with electricity in the air (it helps because it isn't pitch black like some areas too) and the huge canyon with the creaky bridges. That's awesome

they had to patch the dragonbutts to do nothing unless you physically touched them (before they all ganged up on you and it was loving horrible lol) and i mean really its just a big empty wasteland and you hear the lava BROARBROARBROARBROARBROAR and its boring but not terrible

bed of chaos is one of the worst video game bosses in any game, ever though and so is Ceaseless

in 1.0 or whatever while they could gang up on you and all iron flesh was still not nerfed (it used to give a huge defense buff on top of the extra poise), and when they attacked they would damage each other. so you popped iron flesh and chugged estus for awhile and they all killed each other and then didnt respawn

all of the demon ruins/izalith bosses are terrible or boring though

i still don't think many souls bosses will top artorias, though - something about the combination of his creepy roaring / the sickly light / the music / circling each other in the amphitheatre still gives me chills to this day.
