Topic: Prepare To Die (Again) - Dark Souls Remastered

And lit the bonfire, forgot to rest and died. Back to the start. Don’t drink and Dark Souls, kids.

@kyleforrester87 That is how I got past the archers first time round, with poison arrows. Takes a looooong time though. Iirc with the remaster I ran up to the one on the left so he got his sword out, when he swiped at me i had my shield up and he fell off lol. They are also quite easy to parry, there is opportunity to get lots of practice in where you are now.

Anor Londo is one of my fave areas in the game, but f knows how many times i did the run from the bonfire past the movable staircase.

Did you go into the Painted World? I hated it first time round but really enjoyed it when I played the remaster.

@JohnnyShoulder nah I’m gunna check that out tomorrow though, opened the gate back that way now! Archers are easy now I worked it out, did it twice no problem lol

@kyleforrester87 Good luck on the next boss fight! That will make or break you lol.

@JohnnyShoulder i’ll hammer them

@kyleforrester87 One of em will literally be doing that to you lol.

@JohnnyShoulder I eat hammers for breakfast

@kyleforrester87 You're as hard as nails.

@JohnnyShoulder im a wreckin’ ball!!!

@kyleforrester87 Like Miley Cyrus?

@JohnnyShoulder i was thinking more Mickey from Rocky

Just did painted world, was short but pretty cool.

I'm currently leveling up and attempting to break the game. Would 30 Vit, 40 End, 27 Str, 40 Dex and a +5 Zweihander do the job?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic The Zwei scales well so you’ll see more improvement for a longer time compared to my personal favourite, the Black Knight Sword. I don’t really think it’s worth attempting to break the game on NG but once you get through NG+ or ++. Have you done the DLC yet?

@nessisonett Not yet, I tried some of it the first time that I played it, defeated Sanctuary Guardian etc., but that's as far as I got. I am still hoping someone can tell me on here how hard it is to find help against Seath, I am planning to summon for that boss fight unless I can get something like Havel's Gear to make the fight easier on myself. Working on getting Vitality up to 50 now and then taking on Sen's Fortress again.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Honestly, if you can beat Sanctuary Guardian, you can beat Seath. Once the gimmick is out of the way, he’s not too awful as long as your reflexes are decent and by that point in the game you should be good enough to beat him solo.

I had more of a tricky time getting there through the Crystal Cavern, with the Crystal golems and butterfly things. That is where I gave up when i first played it on 360. When I got to Seath in the remastered version i was a bit disappointed at how easy he was. @Draco_V_Ecliptic The trick is to smash the crystals and then go for Seath. He is really weak once the Crystal are gone and should go down quite easily.

I might get it since I haven't played any Dark Souls game yet; but I'm thinking of getting Bloodborne first before trying any Dark Souls game out.

@JohnnyShoulder Yeah I don't think I did that properly last time, I am currently dodging the archers and exploring Anor Londo, looking for Havel's Set, I think I can take on O&S again without a great deal of trouble as I have plenty of humanity left over from earlier in this playthrough.

Just beat O&S on my second attempt at them, which was also my first attempt with Solaire's assistance. I think I may have broken the game but the later bosses, especially Gwyn, should really test whether I have truly done that. Now, with Havel's Set (I found it with the help of a guide) I can take on and hopefully beat Seath without too much resistance

@nessisonett @JohnnyShoulder I beat Seath. It was, as you said, easier than I thought. Should I go to the catacombs next? (and then on to Tomb of the giants) I know it doesn't really matter but would you say it is advisable to tackle the bosses in that order? Seath, then Gravelord Nito? (Note, I haven't taken Pinwheel down yet and know he is in the catacombs before you reach the tomb but hear he is easy.) Thanks for your help and support guys!
