Man, summoning tonight is a pain in the ass. Time outs, dropped connections, lag, oh my.
Beat
twice though. Fun to poison her.

Like seriously what is up with summoning? Earlier I was getting summon but now I'm not getting summoned for anything and this is infuriating because I need it for the damn covenants.
Fuck that. Stupid ass boss.

FUCK.
Siegward died because I couldn't figure out how to use the goddamn Storm Ruler. I could charge it but then after that nothing freaking happened. Am I screwed? If I died is he still gone for good?
Once it's fully charged, hold L2 and then hold R2 as well to swing.

That's the end of his questline anyway. He died to Yhorm in 10 seconds when I fought with him. Shrug.
I did it at SL50, you can too!

You can still jump onto the Firelink Shrine roof using the tree trick, and gain access to the arches over the inner chamber. The same illusory wall is there too and if you go to the end you'll find a chest with the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring, like in the actual Firelink Shrine. If you loot the ring from the Untended Graves chest, the chest will be open and empty if you revisit it in Firelink Shrine.
In my first playthrough I missed the ring but I found it while exploring Untended Graves. I thought I could get two rings by looting the same chest in Firelink Shrine but it was GONE!

Holy shit, hidden area
is super awesome!

Most of the time I just get him to 80% and my best attempt has been 50%. Not going well at all.
Still disappointed... Came that far just to screw up like that.
Also this boss is stupid.
It should be easy but about half way through Storm Ruler starts refusing to charge up. No idea why or what I'm doing wrong.
Best to just bang your head against it until you can dodge him reliably 90% of the time. Time to learn da fight. He's actually pretty easy to learn compared to most bosses, he just hits super hard so a fuck up is usually death (or it leads to panic healing attempts that just lead to death).

Finally beat the N
K
at SL 50 and solo. Feels pretty good took way too many tries. Definitely not cut out for a SL 1 run.
Edit: I didn't mean to be dick i just realized someone was complaining about that fight at 50 a few post up. I went trough like 30 embers don't give up hope! Its doable!

Are NG+ rings considered different than the NG versions of the ring? Trying to get the platinum.
So how do I deal with
the giant crossbow thing at the sulphorous lake or whatever its called? I go through the demon temple, made it past the black knight climb up the long ladders and come to an area where there are some wagon wheel skeletons on the right and a path that leads to two red eye flippy shit skeletons on the left. I can't beat them since they have infinite stamina and are broken. What am I supposed to do? Is there an easy way to kill these things? I have not encountered any sort of blessed weapon at all.

NG++ is required either way for a certain boss weapon anyways.

Hah! That was you? I saw that duel on Twitch today. A user just finished speed running bosses using only a bow. Then he brought out his Kratos to show us, and you appeared. Was a fun battle. It was witnessed by thousands
is there a video of the stream ? i'd love to se the chat comments via replay lol
On that same subject, what's more important for the first run: Master of Rings or Master of Pyromancies? Trying decide whether to go the H

What's the best PvP area to get summoned? I'm part of the

Nah, you don't need the boss weapons for platinum. The only thing that requires NG+ and NG++ is the rings. You can get everything else in NG.
I mean if you're asking if you want Rings or Pyro in the first NG you can't get Rings in NG so if you *really* want a trophy, do pyro, but the ring is better cause it's just actually useful.

A couple D
fights down and there was a pretty funny one I had where some dude summoned 3 of us and so it's us 4 vs. her and because her tracking is so fucking weird with more than one person we were pretty much synchronized dodging every time she swung because we never knew if her body would contort in some stupid way and hit behind her. It looked like that fucking scene from Shaun of the Dead.
That said, damn, I...really don't like curved swords, or at least Painting Warrior's Sword. I am totally happy with the damage and Bleed/Poison now that I infused it but fuck's sake it's range is SO BAD I have to be inside a boss' asshole to hit it sometimes. Satisfying as hell to see 100...200...300...400...500...2500 though and then their life start ticking down. Wish poison did a bit more damage though, we're talking like 3 or 4 damage a click.

Hi Five!
You're a crazy person. Always roll right when on phase two is the best suggestion I got.
Okay. Y

horm done. That wasn't very fun. Wonky camera and janky as frame rate in his second form was annoying as hell. That said.... WHAT THE FUCK!?

What's the bland area?

I wish more weapons were viable for this game, I think that's always been my big negative for most Souls games. Like...split damage weapons are almost always inferior, most weapon categories always have one weapon that everybody plays with because it's objectively superior...it's fine to have early weapons ramp up to late game weapons and sometimes just have better ones but I'd really like to randomly get a drop from like...those weird I
monstrosities and use it for a while and be like "This could be neat" and then have it be completely possible for me to run the game with it without having such a harder time then going "Zweihander +10 build" or whatever.
Edit: I love all these "game was boring/bland/dumb" for the first half of this game. This has pretty much been the most consistent Dark Souls game for me of them all. I was hooked from Undead Settlement and I think that these levels are all designed phenomenally and super fun.

I hate that one hit always leads to another so one mistake = 80% of your health the vast majority of the time. Dat hit stun and god this felt good, I just wish they removed that pointless phase 1.
I had more trouble with phase 2 tbh.
My patience is growing thin as I advance to the final chunk of the game, I got to the Dragonslayer Armor and he throwed me off a cliff as I killed him, apparently I died before his death animation and had to fight him 15-20 more times, I lost count to be honest. All this while my GF couldn't stop asking me to help her pick colors for her new coloring book every 2 minutes...

Beat the game tonight for the first time.
I gave the final boss a solid solo effort but I just could not do it without getting more and more frustrated and upset. Took him down with a couple of awesome and random summons.
Then went back to take on NK. I was frustrated with him the other night and didn't even bother trying to solo him again tonight. I just immediately went for the summons.
I tell ya, I don't care what anybody thinks. I'm so glad I didn't keep trying to push myself to solo some of those bosses. I realized I had nothing to prove to anybody and I'd rather not stress out over a video game.
Now I'm going to make a backup of my save and think about NG+ at some point down the road.

you're done here, it's an optional area
Just play the game how you want, simple as that.
Not everyone has to go around at SL1 and wreck every boss solo at NG+7 with no deaths. super-famicom
