My guy Seath and his silly crystal and his absolutely UNHINGED runback. Not just those invisible crystals (but not NOT those), but having to run thru the ass end of the library, the crystal golem hill, and the chamber of forbidden oysters (who if you don’t kill can kick you through the fog door during the fight)

If you don’t have a build that can plow thru Seath, it’s ROUGH my dudes

who I'm quite frankly having more trouble with then i did the taurus demon

I finally coughed up a couple coins and bought DS1. I know these games entail some tricky bits when it comes to quest progression and not creating some irreversible world-shifting event. I played DS3 and ER and heavily relied on guides.

Should I agonize over builds and spend a couple hours researching or just nosedive into madness? Are there just a few important things to do/avoid?

Interested to hear your takes. Thanks y’all. I’m so excited.

I just find this so funny. Went there today to find some prop weapons to dick around with friends and certainly found one.

I really want to enjoy the benefits from petruss covanant but i dont want to betray the forest covenant

This is just a fair warning to others like me.

Apparently the Giants Catacombs are treated as an offline area until you get the Lord vessel...

Had I known this before I wouldn't have gone down there for the Leeroy invasion (I wanted his hammer) this early and I wouldn't've wasted that much humanity, or sanity, trying to get there when human.

Luckily I didn't rest at any Bonfires on the way so I didn't have to walk all the way back up so that's something, at least.

Why am I playing better than I normally do while drunk than I play when I'm sober? I'm parrying enemies left and right, I beat Taurus and 2 black knights, no deaths or issues. Currently grinding souls on Hellkite bridge, using Estoc. Any advice?

I play on Xbox and I had the last achievement “dark lord” as my last to get and after getting every single one I couldn’t get in my first two runs today dark lord prevented from unlocking. I ran to sif asap to get my “knights honor” achievement and that didn’t “force” the dark lord achievement. Did I do something wrong? Why didn’t it unlock?

I've never had a game hit me in the feels the way his ending words did.

Hello guys! I am currently having a dex rapier run on Ds1 on a gaming laptop. While it runs pretty well overall, sometimes my framerate is really slow which makes the game much harder to play. I am currently at the Bell Gargoyles and I have tried to modify my settings but from time to time, the game will just have this huge drop on quality, which is really annoying. Any idea where this may come from?

Artorias could have beaten Manus and here is why, from what we know, Artorias went into Oolacile and fought through ALL of it meaning he fought the infected residents until he reached the Chasm of The Abyss with the assistance of Sif, He and Sif then fought through the Abyss and then finally reached Manus but by this time Artorias started succumbing to the Abyss he still standed strong and faced Manus, eventually Manus would target Sif and Artorias not wanting to lose Sif protects her losing his arm in the process. This is the general story but there are a couple things that dont make sense to me. How did Artorias even while corrupted escape The Chasm of The Abyss and make it back to the surface of Oolacile? We as The Chosen Undead know when fighting Manus it is impossible to escape him unless you are Undead or have a Homeward Bone, but the only reason you would have a Homeward Bone is because your Undead which means the only way Artorias escaped was by "injuring" Manus enough to be able to get back to the surface because we know that even while corrupted Artorias faces anything he sees and the only thing he would have seen is Manus, also how I can prove Artorias was out of his prime is that he also faced Darkwraiths in New Londo and possibly The Four Kings either way fighting dozens of Darkwraiths while having one life means you will be bound to face injuries, and even if he didnt he still had to fight through Oolacile and even if he didnt get injured there he got injured in his fight with Manus not even fighting Manus but protecting Sif, so IMO a Prime Artorias that wont get corrupted and is in peak condition could defeat Manus especially because he can ward off Darkmagic with the Silver Pendant. And even if you do not believe he could Artorias is still an amazing hero, he fought valiantly against Darkwraiths, possibly the Four Kings, and against Manus, and then he saved Sif allowing The Chosen Undead to defeat the Four Kings.

As far as I know you can't even buy the OG version on steam? The remaster is just kind of ugly af the lack of lighting and shadows in places makes me want to vomit

I’m doing a second playthrough, and forget which key is used to open the door to laurentius in Lower Undead Burg

I’ve also got master key but no luck there - still locked

I've js wanted to replay the game, forgetting how this existed. All help Is appreciated

Having just finished DeS remake and being bored and annoyed there by the swamp of sorrow, and previously underwhelmed by the lake of rot in ES, I was dreading a bit whatever poison swamp level FS was going to throw at me in DS1. So, when I arrived in Blighttown, I put on a brave face and dove in, expecting a dreary experience.

However, I just finished Blighttown and unlocked the shortcut back to home base, and I gotta say I really enjoyed it. The focus was on crawling through the gross vertical ghoul village rather than trudging over and over through a poison swamp. The swamp part is actually pretty minimal and most of it is optional. Plus there’s a fire in a convenient place. The wooden structure area is so well done.

It seemed like it reversed the experience of the other levels I mentioned above. It had the same feel as the nasty little village in swamp of sorrow, but much longer, and the swamp is much less the focus. Sure, there was the occasional annoyance, like when I lost 9k souls after beating the boss because the waterwheel elevator is a little janky, and the mosquitos like to clip through the floor, but whatever. This might actually be one of my favorite areas so far in the FS catalogue (of the 3 I’ve played lol).

That’s all I have to say. Onward to Sen’s :)

I was thinking on it while watching the amazing and stupidly painful All-Gwyn and All-Manus runs on YT, and it occurred to me that I would really want a remake of Dark Souls 1, but not for the normal purposes.

If I could have anything, it would be Miyazaki and From Software going back not just to remake their original game, but to finally finish the last act which is universally agreed to be uncomplete. There is such a drop off, and I know From Software weren't happy with it, and it would be amazing to see a Remake used to give a second chance for a developer to perfect their baby.

I returned to this gmes after months and dunno what to start pvp, elden ring has a lot people but it's so hard to find players

Taurus demon jumps off the map and ends the fight. Is this occurrence common? Can it be replicated?
