    Cheers P_3, that is an excellent suggestion and one that hadn't crossed my mind. After navigating through the hell of Blighttown last night I didn't have enough juice in the tank to take the boss out, but I fancy my chances tonight. Very curious to see what that opens up as I'm assuming the second bell I need to ring is through the door behind her.

    Oh and on this, the weapons seem to have defensive attributes too. How does that work?

    Cheeky few goes over lunch and that's the boss of Blighttown done. The cinematic cutscene after you do it is all kinds of

    Just need to get out of this hellhole now.

    Nice going. You shouldn't have too much trouble getting out, just ignore the vast majority of the enemies.

    Regarding the defensive attributes on weapons, you can apparently block with them. But it isn't advisable as they don't offer as much protection as shields.

    Best day on this so far by an absolute mile.

    After beating Blighttown's boss at lunchtime, followed that up with another one in Darkroot Garden and finished Sen's Fortress too. Anor Londo is incredible. What a game.

    Yeah, I really like the Anor Londo reveal. After trudging through swamps and sewers, it greets you with that.

    Yep. Another thing the game does really well is it earns the right to be a dick to you and then rewards you when you get through the dick parts. So well made and you play something like this and it’s even more striking how crap most games are. Which is why I generally only play about 4 different ones.

    Well, there's a story behind that...

    I fought valiantly through Anor Londo (the archers my God the archers) and then took some humanity so I could kindle the bonfire there to 10 Estus Flasks. At which point I was able to summon some help, which I assumed would be an NPC (as it was previously with the Gargoyles). What actually happened was an absolute legend turned up who showed me a shortcut and then proceeded to smash the absolute shit out of the two bosses. I helped a bit with the fat hammer one, but really all I needed to do was stay alive.

    Feels a bit hollow really.

    I also think I may have recruited some new blood to the board. He goes by the name of DomFireheart and he's a streamer. I'll be sending him a link in the Twitch chat when I see him again tonight. You have to time these things right. Be nice when he signs up.

    Yev requesting special treatment for his e-mate.

    If you wanted people to be nice you may have chosen the wrong place to invite them.

    It was more of a jokey post than a serious one, this has quite clearly never been a place where people are nice to newcomers.

    It's also a 20+ year old forum, he won't be remotely interested.

    Decided to start again yesterday and with one eye on the football I spent 12 hours grinding for souls. Up to level 41 already and haven't died twice without collecting my souls or humanity yet so we're pretty well set.

    Have an abundance of consumables and also got a Green Greatsword thing from one of the massive green knights in Darkroot Garden, which looks pure pownage, but I need 6 more strength to use it properly.

    I've played enough now to be fairly certain that for me at least this is one of the best games ever made. The World design (which I reckon is actually far easier to achieve than it might look, so others don't really have an excuse) is outstanding, as is the way the game drip feeds information to you.

    I watched some of your stream yesterday, I'm just very, very Soulsed out. My only tip is don't fatroll, wear lighter armour.

    Second playthrough is going much better. Already a higher level than I was before in half the time and now need to grind a huge amount of souls to get all the goodies from the pyromancy lady in the swamp. Back to the depths I feel to do that so I can also stock up on Large Titanite Shards at the same time. Need to make that Zweihander +10.

    Killed the Bell Bosses last night and also took out Ceaseless Discharge (I mean, lol) which I didn't do first time round so that was nice and that just leaves me needing to do Sen's Fortress and O&S to be further ahead than I was in the last save. The latter of which I can feel being problematic, but bring it on.

    Also, a gold medal isn't enough for that chap completing all of these games in one sitting without being hit. Freedom of the World should just about do it.

    Be still, my beating heart.

    God I fucking love that weapon. I would struggle to think of a more satisfying gaming experiencing in my life than twatting everyone in the face with that fully upgraded bad boy. Every time I replay Dark Souls I go in with the intention of doing something different ("I'll try a magic build!" etc) but nothing hits the spot quite like wandering round with that fucker slung over your shoulder and wrecking everything in your path.

    I got bored grinding for trophies so I'm now in NG+. There's a couple of weapons I don't think I'll get but I'll cross most of it off. Time to get all those pyromancies I missed.

    Is anyone else going to be playing Elden Ring when it releases tomorrow? Genuinely excited for it to go live after finishing the Demon's Souls Remake.

    Of course. Most wanted game since BotW for me. Preloaded, waiting for 11pm.

    Have you got an initial class you want to try?

    I'm quite tempted to give the Samurai a go first up.

    Wretch. It'll give scope to do what you want with the build, planning on multiple playthroughs. Network Test was amazing so can only imagine the game itself is gonna take over all my free time.

    I'm digging this thread up because the souls series has a lot of Beserk references. Last week I didn't really know what Berserk was. I have now watched all of the 1997 anime adaptation.

    It's left a mark that I don't think I'll ever recover from. At least Dark Souls has hope.

    Aye, really sharp and detailed. 1997's anime goes by really quick, too and I think it looks better than the later efforts that make Griffith look like an actual woman.
