well, the last lord is dead, so i'm guessing i'm pretty close barring any okami type surprises of THERE WERE 50 MORE HOURS
the p
were pretty great, the story behind the boss is pretty cool and delivered pretty well through cutscenes and item descriptions and such, it's really nice. the fight itself was pretty easy, got it on my second try and spent a while helping other ppl while grinding souls to buy all the cool equipment. btw tip about that, don't go praise the sun or whatever as soon as you kill a boss, quickly go to your inventory and equip all your souls multiplying items for like massive increase in souls. like the mimic head only would take me from 24k per run to 35k, it's pretty huge
after that i went with regained confidence to the untended graves and tried fighting c
again. i think i beat him on my third try, tho i went ember for a little bit extra health. that fight is actually pretty tough, you don't get many windows to hit him and some of his sweeping attacks have really weird timings that aren't so easy to dodge and if you get caught in a combo it gets pretty rough. you also never get like a second to resin your sword on stage 2 lol. the stuff you find after beating him is pretty weird and i may have given something i found there to someone and ruined humanity forever, idk
also i just looked at the wiki for missing stuff and found about archdragon peak, so that's where i'm headed now. at the bonfire already, so cool that there's one more dungeon to explore, even tho i'm kind of feeling like getting it over with already
pretty good progress today, at least boss and lore wise
here's hoping the ending gives good closure to the series
i don't need something grand or anything, just something like demons souls, a bit of an epilogue, maybe let me walk around the nexus and talk to people one more time, something.
Dark Souls accomplishments of the day:
Discovered the joys of equipment upgrading.
Took out the bell tower gargoyle and the Capra Demon.
The gargoyle fight left me feeling like a boss. Was rolling around to evade attacks, felt everything click. Beat it on the second try.
The Capra Demon fight was just ugly. I ran to the top of the steps and whaled on it with my axe while it stood there beating on me, and hoped that it would keel over dead before I ran out of estus. (Thankfully, it did.)
I'm probably doing things all out of order and I still have no idea what some of this stuff's about, but I'm really enjoying myself. I haven't tried to "reverse hollowing" or kindle a bonfire yet, and one of the NPC's I rescued gave me the option of joining a covenant when I talked to him (I refused for now, since I'm really vague on what they are or how they work. Something related to online?) I love discovering things for myself in-game, and I've been trying to avoid reading up on things, but I do wish some of this stuff was explained in a bit more detail in the game itself.
really impressive, took me like 400 tries to get the damn gargoyles
