I'm starting to think From Software is one of those japanese devs that actually enjoys making the exact same game over and over and over with a slightly different coat of paint each time.

im wary of any game franchise that doesnt do that.

im doing a no shield no armour + no lvling vitality run on dark souls ATM. i was doing a sl 3 run but its pointless since i always lvled vitality last anyway. its basically just the same as a normal run.

i never understood sl1 runs because it always seemed people just leveled pyromancy which seems the same as just not levelling vitality. Well good luck on your quest.

thats why i did sl3. u cant use pyromancy since theres no attunement slots but u get to use a few more types of weapons instead since u have an extra point or 2 in dex/str. i mean i guess u could use a ring for attunement slots but i didnt. but its still not really much harder

yeah... but the no shield, no armour, and no vitality run is freaking fun. ppl should do those instead of sl1

the worst souls feel ever is seeing that a boss has one hit left and mindlessly jamming on attack to just finish the fight and misjudging their attack animation and dying.

i played a little bit of this at a friends a couple days ago . do the later enemies have some kind of poise? it felt like i could just mash stuff down. the cleric beast was great fun though.

has anyone beat all the chalice dungeons yet. is it worth going through all of them. as in , is tere even a single thing in the later ones that i wont see in the main game, like a hidden superboss, or a chalice dungeon only weapon or something. i got an "uncanny saw cleaver" from one of my root chalices but the only thing different is the gem slots

there a cool boss you can only see at the very end of the pthumeru chalice dungeon lines. the ver y last one.

theres also the beast claws in layer 2 of ailing loran chalice which are cool because they turn your hands into werewolf hands and scream every time you transform them

cool.. ill do all of them then. although for now im playing a new character so i can use skill weapons

How are you suppose to play chalice dungeons? Are you suppose to do every single one, layer by layer, going to all the detour rooms, getting the collectables? I'm at the sinister pthumuru labryinth and I don't think I can do this poo poo anymore. I just wanted to encounter unique and challenging enemies and bosses that weren't in the main game.

edit: Like which one's am I "supposed" to do and which ones are pointless and I can skip? I heard there is a badass secret boss at the very end?

u can just run to the bosses if thats all your interested in dude... its your party

if you want epic loot like high level gems and blood rocks and stuff, those are probably only in the depth 5 dungeons, so explore the ones that say depth 5 in the description

depth 4 chalice dungeons seem like theyre 100x harder than depth 3 ones. does anyone know how to beat the creepy screaming Fast Zombies in ailing loran that guard the levers and coffins... they can one shot me and theyre really fast and they can poise thru my kirkhammer

i'm also curious about chalice dungeons. i just put my pthnumeru one down and have been exploring it, and i'm sort of stuck on the hell-hound boss. i can leave without any negative consequence and come back to it right?

yeah. make sure u light the lamps though, theyre the checkpoints
