the one in demons souls is terrible, and dark souls 2 is garbage, so really, it's an outlier.

I liked the belfry gargoyles fight

I saw people talking about a twist but managed to keep from spoiling myself. The plot going off the rails at the forbidden woods and the first celestial beings reveal were so good.

I couldn't beat orphan until I took a two month break. Then I got him on my third or fourth try.

yeah but u gotta admit the dlc cleared a lot up in every regard

I think the main game gave a good general summary of what was happening and then the dlc gave the actual specifics about the healing church

I can't remember ever having a problem with one reborn but now I've died to him 4 times. There's always one every run

I died a couple times not realizing that I was fighting it at a way lower level bc it took so long to get to that part the first time through

they should have just added a second or two of animation to show the cleric beast shutting the door and throwing away the key when it jumps over the wall

He should've used his tiny arm to delicately lock the small door with a tiny key

Uses his tiny arm to lock the small door with a small key and the big arm to lock the big gate with a comically large key

It's cool because you have to fight the skeleton dogs again after you die here, and even more if you didn't find the other bonfire.

if you're underwhelmed by the 'blades imo they don't get good till +6 so don't let the damage output get you down at first, Hunter :tipshat:

I think I'm at +3 so this is hopefully the last bump before I can start murking beasts

Dicked around Yarnham some, got the Cleric Beast to about half health on my third try. I love the parrying system and the HP-regen rhythm of the boss fight, but I can't tell if I missed a lamp or if I really do just need to run past a shitton of enemies every time. I can't even imagine fighting them all. Leveling is a little obnoxious, since I have to run back if I want to keep my Echoes. I did manage to level up my cane once. Definitely feels like I'm still figuring it out, it's a lot less clear than Dark Souls but way better than Dark Souls 2.

Did you go through the dark house, that's where the shortcut is next to cleric beast

For chikage I level skill until I kill Amelia & then go to cainhurst right?

That's what I did but I put the last few levels into bloodtinge so I wouldn't have to wait that long to use it after logarius. It's cool.

Oh Long Johnson
Oct 22, 2010
I would just run through central yarnham from the lamp up to gascoigne via the shortcut. That get's you like 8 or so, do that a couple times and then spend the souls you get from it.
