Yes this is early game, ignore the suspiciously high health bar...🤫

I was at Anor Londo and I just killed my first Painting Guardian.

I then looked at the painting below. Stopped and realized… I didn’t have the peculiar doll in my inventory. I must’ve forgotten to get the peculiar doll from my cell. I must’ve been so glad I got a cool drop from the Black Knight I fought that I was sated and just took that as the reward and left.

But holy shit… I’d have to make the walk back to fucking Firelink Shrine and then parkour unto the castle wall, ball up in the nest and then the Asylum…

I wasn’t going to do a back and forth. If I just avoided bonfires I could just homeward bone myself from the Asylum all the way back to Anor Londo in one instant transmission. Genius plan.

However if I died along the way that would mean I’d be sent back to Anor fkcing Londo too.

Well. First stop: Sen’s… Again but in reverse.

(edit: I was just informed about the elevator. Holy shit.)

This felt like playing on a Mario Cart map but like the reverse version of the map.

I decided to get the golden serpent ring too and ended up almost killing myself with the ball like a dumbass for writing a “I cant take this…” message on the hallway next to where the ring is. Which may have been the top 3 dumbest things i’ve ever done

Anyway I made it out through Sen’s. Absolute nightmare with the looming dread of being sent to Anor Londo all over me.

I get to Undead Burg and avoid the bonfire. Firelink shrine, asylum, I avoid the floor cave in and walk all the way to my cell.

But there’s no item.

I open my inventory and realise.

I was looking on the wrong tab .

I finally did it; I thought I was going mad at some points, glad I managed to pull through and get everything. I was shitting myself at points in case I missed something, but I didn't. Played DS3 first, then did both Elden Ring games. This game is truly special, but I am very thankful for the better QOL adjustments in DS3 and Elden Ring.

How did I do time-wise? Praise the sun!

Souls games have ruined my gaming life (also made it better). Since I discovered Souls games, I find myself unable to play anything else. I'm curious about how much of an addict I am compared to the average Souls player here.

Simple calculations: 1 pt for each completion and .5 for in progress. Only FS games, Sekiro included. Whats your score?

Elden ring - 6.5

Demon souls- 3

Dark souls 1 - 1.5

Dark souls 2 - 1

Dark souls 3 - 2.5

Sekiro - 1

BB - 1.5

Score - 17

I feel it's likely lower than most, but genuinely curious

I want to start NG+ and get the plat, just afraid if I will have to start another playthrough if bosses’ souls of NG+0 aren’t usable in NG+

My brother introduced me to DS1, which I promptly quit after being stuck on Gargoyles for weeks and weeks. Came back and beat it, and fell in love with the game. Following that bought a PS4 to play DS2 and 3. Beat all 42 bosses in 2, and am at the Soul of Cinder in DS3

All other video games seem boring now. I tried Nier Automata while waiting for the PS4, and after beating the first run I couldn’t be bothered to play as the Nines.

Any other games y’all enjoy? Ab to get Bloodborne atp

I’m surprised they still do server maintenance at all

My only other version was the human Ciaran theory but I do not believe it for multiple reasons, personally... Especially paired with the fact that Artorias' long ponytail IS what's used to put on his grave. I think she is just short and Gods can experience the corruption as well.

Honorable mention: Yuria and Lelianne implied to also have white hair despite not being physically old! I am just back and forth all the time on whether it IS their hair or just a helmet's decoration like Bloody Crow's from Bloodborne! But even if that is just a decor it still works imo, as sort of their "aspirations" display.

So I went and fought my absolute favorite boss duo of all time. And I was having such a good time fighting them, then it happend I accidentally took out ornstein first completely locking myself out of his gear 😮‍💨. It usually would not be an issue but its my favorite armour im running a pure dex faith build like aaggg.

I’m fairly new to souls and souls like games just started playing earlier this year. I’ve beat lies of p and sekiro and I’m just about to beat DS1 just wondering do u guys think I should play ds2 or 3 next?

Sorry for the bad angle. Good news is that I should be able to get this captured completely on my computer soon so won't have to deal with weird angles.

Just wondering if anyone else thinks as strongly about this as I do. Definitely my favorite intro oat

Context: in youtuber ZeroLenny’s video “Dark Souls but with the IGN guide” [best known as the origin of the “it floats down” meme] he put IGN’s proposed strategy for fighting gargoyles [composite bow + stone armour] to the test and was astonished to discover that it works incredibly well. The armour’s high poise allows the bow to do it’s work, such that the gargoyle’s attacks can be largely ignored. I was inspired to try this myself and can confirm, the fight is an absolute joke if you do it like this.

Here is the link to Lenny’s video:

One more dead body which doesn't want me to leave it alone.

My current build cleric/paladin. Did a little research and couldn't find any weapon I care for that would need a boss soul down the line. Is it safe to consume them? Or is there another reason to hold on to them? Thanks :)

Also thinking of upgrading str next so I'm not hosed with split damage against high magic def enemies.

I still have my prepare to die edition on steam and I have been reliving the infamous bad controls, but it really doesnt feel that horrible after a few hours. I have completed it this way once or few times before and have a good time doing it.

so i am playing dark souls 1 on my ps3 for the first time(first souls game) and i wanted to know what is considered cheating. i just beat sif after beating the butterfly and the gargoyales, and there is a glith where i can use sif's souls for as many time as i want, i already use it to get about 200,000 souls for leveling up and to requist to be forgiven or smth(i hit that lady and i want to be forgiven) so did i ruin my gameplay and should i stop doing it

I'm looking to do a playthrough that feels fresh after playing the game a million times. Can anyone recommend a weapon that doesn't see much use? Probably the most "out there" weapon I've played is the Flamberge...

Edit: Nevermind, everyone. The first Balder Knight dropped a Swag Sword and I legally have to use it.
