Dark Souls 2

[TooB]

darklurker is such a piece of shit

i finally managed to kill him

[spoiler]

...but then i got hit by a stray fireball from his clone on the other side of the room and died just as their own death animation triggered

and then it took another three attempts to finally kill him and live to tell the tale after that[/spoiler]

honestly worse than ornstein and smough, and a huge contrast from the rest of the base game's relatively easy (for a souls game, at least) bosses

so many of my beautiful souls and human effigies, gone forever

how many effigies did you end up using?

probably close to ten in my darklurker attempts alone, around 15 for all three of the covenant's challenges lol

nice job! that dark abyss shit ain't easy

I actually hear from many peeps that DS2 is the best entry point

i can't help but wonder why

ds1 just seems to have a much better balance of enemy/boss difficulty, and its overworld is more alluring, and at does a better job at incentivizing exploration without ever being tedious, and its pacing feels more consistent, and between the two games 1's storytelling is better (which is almost unfathomable considering that ds1's storytelling is probably its weakest point lol)

plus there's no soul memory to worry about, and if one's ever truly stuck or in dire need of a particular item they can freely farm without ever having to worry about enemy extinction

not to mention that the most useful upgrade materials are for the most part easier to come by in ds1, and i think its weapon upgrading mechanics in general are easier to get a grasp of than ds2's lol

I think it's strictly from an accessibility point of view. Fast travel right away, easier to understand some mechanics, idk. it's just what I heard

and yeah, fume knight is an ASS......HOLE

[Kalahari Inkantation]

he's just ridiculous after that buff lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

fume knight finally dead

that took an embarrassingly long time

[Thyme]

best entry point is DeS
