This guy just died to the minotaur demon inlower undeadburg like a newb

i died only once

in the first 2 hours there were multiple ds2 style 'ambushes' that were just enemy spam, 2 really bad boss fights, the capra demon and moonlight butterfly, pretty ridiculous newbie crusher traps everywhere

People rag on them, but demon ruins and lost izalith are both cool, in my opinion

i love big empty flat plains that glow and hurt my eyes and make a constant annoying fart sound and they just copy and paste one enemy over and over everywhere at random, dark souls 1 is flawless

it's a lot more tolerable if you have pyromancy or some fire bombs, and it's not a great fight, but it's also easy as hell

idk i just think of the series as 3d castlevania, bloodborne and ds3 especially feel that way. i hated every gimmick boss like moonlight butterfly, ceaseless, chaos bed etc. but i love all the fairly normal stuff like O&S (i still dont think this boss has been topped in the series), im just not a fan of the weird specific things that's just waiting around for patterns.

moonlight is cool looking at least yeah, and i love the music. capra demon is just a gatcha though lol

actually the floor was lit up like a christmas tree and i almost got invaded several times but i think something fell through. it's amazing DS1 is still so popular.

I figured, but it’s only going to get deader, so I might as well go for it. I’m glad I got in on the forest covenant while it was still active at least

You get rewarded with humanities for invasion kills, right? Would it be possible to do the darkwraiths and still open the spider lady gate to save Solaire?

i think solaire only goes crazy if you go into izalith the normal way, you can do whatever you want outside of that

there's no penalty for leaving covenants and i don't think you lose levels either. you might tho

you can. theres actually another way to save solaire too without using the covenant which is not to talk to him at anor londo until you enter the passage from izalith and kill the bug like that

personally i usually just kill him in the undead burg and take his armour. as much as i like solaire i like his loot more

every game i try and make a guts/berserk character, but after the ultra greatsword i can't decide on the most suitable armor... i've decided the best look is armor of thorns, and in ds3 that + the wolf knight helm is just :kissingchef:

It gave me more trouble than any other boss in the game, because I didn't know it was optional and it appears early enough that I hadn't figured out the weight mechanics and armor having different kinds of defenses, so I kept trying to fight it in the knight armor you get in the forest and just got obliterated over and over when my fatroll and zero magic defense wouldn't get me out of its slow-moving beam that follows you.

its actually a pretty rough fight if youre low level and dont have the crest shield or something like it. its easy to get hit with its small fast beam attack and it can one shot you if you get hit during a roll

The BSS is good if you get it to drop, but the best is Ricard's Rapier, because with any enchantment on it its R2 becomes insanely lethal.
