Bonfire Ascetics are the most broken item in the game.

Additionally, I'm pretty sure the Flame Swathe pyromancy is also ridiculously broken, but that may have gotten a nerf.

Too bad these games have never figured out how to let you change names, despite opening (and arbitrarily closing) other things you can do to your character as the series progressed.

By the way...

The Dark Souls 2 DLCs are good.

I tried doing the first DS3 DLC at maybe halfway through the main game. Boy was that a rush. :shepface:

I'll probably enjoy them more in retrospect, because the sheer difficulty wall burned me out so hard I can't fathom going back yet.

Just don't do the one type of side area that each one has.

Or do, with an army of summons, because they deserve nothing less.

That little kerfuffle with Vorgel the Sinner + All The Dogs is a parody of the Capra Demon fight. The "arena" is just a bigger version of the one you fight that dude in.

Although the Belfry Gargoyles are a joke on returning playthroughs or with significantly upgraded weapons, I found it to be a really engaging fight initially, despite the lack of originality. The fact that it's like six of them was immediately telegraphed, which so far as I'm concerned is a comedy beat. Fending them all off when you're at a disadvantage is a matter of creating space and keeping them all in your sights.

It's similar vs. the Ruin Sentinels, which are extremely possible to solo as well, but keeping them all in sight is the far more difficult and frustrating part. It felt really, really good to pummel them into submission on a cestus x cestus run.



...and speaking of, it's getting to be time Goonhilda had a weapon change-up.

Just sayin'.
