I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.
I effortlessly dispatch Spiders with all kinds of bladed weapons.

Also, lol, you get invaded by Alva, the knight from Dark Souls 2.

IDK. Im just frustrated because I want to get the infinite eye orb but I didnt even get a slight chance of killing anyone.

talk to the shady dude hanging out by the thrones, he'll set you on your way toward the red eye orb

edit: if you need a pale tongue, there'll be one hanging on a corpse near the first fire demon you see

the swamp kind of sucks but I've lit all the torches so I can get out of it now

meeting a random Black Knight was kind of weird and he kicked my rear end lol. what is going on in this game..... im so excited to see whats around every corner

I haven't played DS2 but this is a chill swamp compared to Blighttown and even Valley of Defilement, even with those rear end in a top hat goat dudes who goomba stomp you and get buffed off your blood.

seeing returning enemies is like catching up with old friends in this game.

I like the part in Road of Sacrifices but the part around Farron Keep with the torches isn't very good... I liked Blighttown though.

Also does anyone else feel like the game is really stingy with souls and upgrade materials? I kind of like that though because I know when I replay I'm going to be zooming about grabbing all this poo poo that I didn't know existed here, at this point

Can't decide between Longsword or the Ithitytytlhgthlrkhgf Straight Sword that the frost dog-knight guy guarding the first bonfire in Path of Sacrifice dropped. I guess the Straight Sword has the frostbite and much longer reach. Then again once I get enough titanite to take the Longsword to +3 it's gonna start to outclass the straight sword




I could keep using my claymore I guess but the slowness is really starting to piss me off now that a lot of enemies aren't even staggered by it

If you've been thoroughly exploring you might already have what you need, check your inventory

I think I did a pretty good sweep of the first area, including the area under the dragon that I figured had something cool in it, so maybe I do.

i like how the game drops a shitload of cool weapons for you right at the start. a few hours in and I'm already having to decide between a badass spear, a badass scythe, badass punching gloves, a badass whip or badass axe.

I've been having good fun purpling. Sometimes it's nice to go against expectations and just help the host out... I hope purples remain a real wildcard and aren't just "those guys you summon if you want a fight"

All the ones Ive summoned so far have been pretty vicious. That said I prefer summoning them to white phantoms

I've been getting summoned less than expected... not that it takes long, but five minutes or so. I'm seeing less messages than I though t I would as well. maybe it's my connection.

Also (Farron Keep) I got summoned by a giant green pope called Geriatric Master and discovered you can backstab the Abyss Watchers, even the superpowered last one. I kept him backstabbed while looking after my man the Master, then we toasted each other goodbye. goty
