It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.

That's the best way to end the series for sure. Haven't seen the actual end cinematic or anything but thematically that fight is perfect, and fun

when gwyns theme kicks in for phase 2....

Unfortunately right at the end of the game I won't be able to play for the next like 3 days which is why I was blazing through it this week. I've got a long car ride today and might start reading about all the NPC stories I missed. I did a sweep of Firelink and like everybody is dead. What happened to you Greirat...

it's the amalgamation of everyone who's ever linked the fire, that's why it goes through a bunch of really common player archetypes - whatever character you favoured in DS1, 2, whatever, the idea is that you can recognise a bit of them in there. And then of course Gwyn comes out at the end because he's the original cool dude and probably had the strongest soul. Extremely cool imo

It's the first fight where I readjusted my load out so I could have an offhand weapon. I can obliterate the drake in like 3 fully charged R2s with yohrm's axe +5 and then switch to my fast mace for the real battle

Same but pontiff greatsword ftw and then warden twinblades. But I pplayed it so much that I murked the drag with the twinblades some too. It's really cool that they programmed 2 different crit animation for diff weapons. It's the kind of touch that must have taken plenty of time and has no purpose but badassery and love of the game

Also nameless Kong theme has joined belfry gargs theme on my lifting/running playlist. Imagining I'm bench pressing so I can raise my str stat and kill monsters better

Lol I never would have figured out the usurpation of the flame ending in a million years. Sounds sick, I'm going to do that one on my new char, a magic build. I always make a Moonlight Greatsword character for at least one playthrough

Platinum seems pretty doable, I don't mind doing all the covenant stuff because I like the online and it's still active and will remain that way leading into DLC. But woof, over 100 rings to collect, that's harsh

its actually kind of a cool treasure hunt, a few rings pop up on ng+ in places you probably stumbled on already and thought it was weird there wasn't any treasure.

yea i didnt like that at first but i kind of like it now. but i think treasure in that kind of situation should be less useful and more interesting
