i'd rather experience fighting a real player instead of an npc. i'm going to be playing for another hour or so, and can get on later tonight.

it would be cool to play as the boss. apparently you get his tornado head thing if you play as him

I will try tonight then, but idk if it will work since the only character I have available for it has already beaten that boss. May lock me out of multiplayer for that archstone

Playing as bosses is always cool. I'm eagerly awaiting the Shovel Knight Boss Vs. Battle mode. Sorry if this is off topic

i think i'm going to go full havel armor in dark souls 2 because it seems like the stats allow it a lot more easily than dark souls 1 did

is there anything worthwhile in the poison pit with all the fetuses?

also garl was easy as hell, and i just pumped arrows into the lady until she died. i felt sort of bad, but hey, i need that archstone.

holy poo poo, this run up the stairs against the blue dragon is loving terrible. i have no idea how i'm supposed to do this. whoever designed this needs to have a softball thrown directly at their nutsack.

lol, the youtube videos to cheesing it with magic have the character doing 20 times what i can muster with my bow and still taking forever to kill it. i'm basically never killing this loving thing, and i have a feeling that this is a boss run.

so if i'm missing a single rock for upgrading, does that mean i'm hosed? i'm pretty sure i've cleared out as many crystal lizards in 2 as i can find, and i'm one chunk of sharpstone short of a +10

if you need sharpstone, go pureblack on world 4 and kill yourself some skellies

i just looked up the timing on the run on youtube because it pissed me off. it's actually not that hard, but i still don't like the fact that they put that into a boss run without a shortcut. that's definitely something that bloodborne did well... maybe the best.

yeah, i'm going to poison it to death while shooting it with a bow i just spent some time upgrading, since i invested in faith, and i haven't found a handy lightning spear equivalent

try using the clever rat ring. you can also stack it with the morion blade if you have that. u will do a lot more damage with ranged attacks

it took a while, but i was able to take off about 2000 health per poison with kunai. now i just need to fight allant. he soul sucked me or w/e. he definitely seems like a more modern souls boss, and is quite hard. i wish the elevator to him didn't take so long, but it should be a fun fight.

Allant is epic, and the blue dragon has made me epic QQ in the past but now I know you just stand on the far right, wait for two breaths and then run straight without stopping. I can play at 8pm CST at the earliest for the 3-3 fight , if you're still around then to finish the fight. It would be epic to be your final boss haha

the old king darden, or w/e his name is, kicked my rear end. i actually got him down to 3/4s with poison, but then he ate grass on me. fucker! idk if i'm going to bother with that one.

i took a few more shots at allant. his distance punish is sort of annoying, since it apparently covers the entire arena. i think i probably have to bait his attacks to heal instead of backing away, which is the first time a boss has really done that in this game. it's good though. i feel like i'm getting better each attempt.

Old King Allant is great because when I first played demons souls he seemed like an insurmountable maniac and when I started playing dark souls it's basically the jumping off point for their boss design and it's only gotten more and more brutal over time. [Kanye voice] Haha I love it though, you know?

Also I just got home, 2 hours later than anticipated. I'll set my char up so I'm totally ready though.
