2-2 is the only level I can really think of that lets you do that in all of souls. I mean there's ways to run to bosses if you know enemy patterns and level layouts in other games, but 2-2 just has a harmless way to bypass the entire level. I wonder why they did that. I guess he Izalith shortcut is like that too but it's a covenant reward so you have to work for it

I agree that DS2 is more of a sequel to Demon's (from a non-lore perspective) than to DS1, especially since the DS2 DLC uses cut content and unused level concepts and designs from Demon's

oh i think i have a magic weapon or two, but i think their stat gains come from magic stats and i have poo poo in those stats right now  i need to upgrade that crushing axe but i dont know where to get that ore yet cuz im trying very hard not to spoil this game for myself, but it has B for stat growth from str and everything else is like... D progress wise i went through a lot of 5-1 despite whiffing my attacks over the heads of the ugly little retards in that zone but i got to a troll or some poo poo that caved my skull in with 1 hit

the firebugs just take 30 years to kill regardless of what you use. but magic helps a little if you need to grind them for some reason

if you want more heavy ores, try your tunneling friends in 2-2. black world tendency also seriously increases ore drop rates

I have a ton of ore but what I need is a pure clearstone. I'm doing weapon upgrades blind, so I hope that Quality is a good weapon path!

theres a few guaranteed pure stone drops throughout the world and for completing quests but if you dont want to hate demon souls never try grinding for one lol

i might play this again soon. i've heard magic is OP, but really fun, so i would do a sorc. run. it would be a good way to do all of the world tendency events. is there significant NG+ change?

also if you look up loot tables and find specific worlds to manipulate for tendency you can do crap like thisIn Training posted:After defeating just two bosses and moving on to 3-1 picking up clever rat ring and turpentine I was dealing approx 300 damage per R1 against the 3-1 boss, lol which is cool.

I finished world 3 and beat 4-1. I got to the end room of 4-2 and the boss of 5-1 but those are some long run backs. Are there any short cuts I'm missing?

It's cool when you notice how much better you've gotten, like those double katana skeletons in 4-1 used to gently caress me up and now I'm rolling behind them and clubbing them in the back of the head and then beating their rear end senseless

Ds3 is a b team game. I knew they had a great game in them from the ds2 dlc but it doesnt compare well to ds1 or bborne in my opinion. But it is great. I think their games will keep getting better and better

DS2 and 3 don't quite have that (DS3 is closer) but they're still great games. I think part of it is sequel syndrome, knowing that certain things are going to happen or appear based on the lore you already know, riffs on things you've already seen, etc... Regardless of what the setting is for their next game, the fact that it won't be tied down by a preexisting story or whatever is exciting.

DS3 does have some cool moments that have made me slightly walk back on my "Dark Souls should've never had sequels in the same universe" stance, but it just doesn't sparkle like the games in totally new settings do.

bloodborne was a completely natural and sensible evolution of the dark souls formula, it succeeded ds1 in a way ds2 and ds3 never could. my hope is that from keeps making soulslikes with different motifs and cultural influences while playing with the core mechanics and balance to make something both familiar and new. wish list: eqypt souls mecha souls (i.e. a non-armored core mecha game with a new ip) urban souls
