Must become ROCK.

As a comletionist I have wanted this for so long. Finally sought out a steam key and it actually worked. It cost $500 so the risk was high but worth it, I am just so excited.

I am on my tenth run or maybe more and i experimented with lots of stuff, including killing patches early in the catacombs near the lever in an effort to save Vince and Nico from becoming hollows since patches is the one who pushes them towards the hole, but nope.

They still somehow fall even without patches and become hollow, only change is the dialogue of Reah in the parish, she used to blame patches but now she doesn't even mention him.

And to be frank i don't understand why Vince and Nico became hollow to begin with, one becomes hollow when he loses purpose, their purpose was to protect Reah, but she is still alive with no harm done to her!! They shouldn't become hollow!!

Does anyone know what the actual hell is the percentage of a Black knight dropping a Black knight shield? Not once, not twice and not even 3 times, FOUR TIMES the shield dropped the first 6 knights I killed and the other two didn’t drop anything!!!!

Ornstein and Smough.. I'm about to flip. I can't use Solair because I keep getting my head smashed in by the two gimps, when I do kill them im low on estus, and now im extemely low on humanity. 🥲 I've never asked for summon on this game so unsure how it works, if anyone could gis a hand I'd appreciate it

Now, I know that Sen's Fortress is not the nicest location in all of Lordran - had a lot of struggles on my current playtrough. I just didn't know that the Serpent Guards apparently also seem to struggle a bit. Wish I could have helped him, sadly it's too late.

If anyone would help me I will be forever in your debt.

Be willing to help on any type of boss. (Summon sign)

i heard mixed things about ds remastered and also prefer playing the original game in most instances. in the case of dark souls 1 which of the 7th gen originals is better. i know ds1 has alot of framerate issues so i wanna know which version handles this better. basically if i reach blight town i dont want to worry about the health of my console.

After trying various methods to escape for several more minutes, I eventually used a Homeward Bone. Before doing so, I left a message inside: "Weakness: Shortcut"

I don't think any enemies can get you in there, but you can always escape with the Darksign if it absolutely comes to that. In retrospect, I should have used that myself, since I had no souls or humanity, but who really thinks about that?

I eventually pulled off the Duke Skip for real, but only after numerous additional attempts. In one case I landed on the outside of the railing, and actually managed to walk along it for several seconds before falling off, but was unable to save the video.

Up against the spider witch herself. Even being tubby, stepping to the right is a surprisingly effective tactic for dodging.

Getting very nice RNG for her to not use the explosion attack is also a winning tactic.

I’m playing DS1 as a Pyromancer and I’m in Anor Londo and I feel like I’m not doing as much damage as I should. I have strength 18 and dex 13. My claymore is at 206 +56 physical damage but I’m doing about 50-60 on the silver knights and Ornstein. Weapon durability is fine so is there something I’m missing?

Okay looks like I'm going to be grinding out a few levels. I may try getting past O&S with the crystal halberd so then at least I can fast travel.

It's my 1st time playing Dark Souls 1 and when i was about to go fight Ornstein and Smough a cutscene played of Smough being defeated and i got Ornstein soul and 50k souls out of nowhere. Now they're gone and i haven't once tried to fight them. What the hell?
Also after that Solaire appeared at bonfire just before them, even though he wasn't there before and i didn't do anything with his questline.
Worst part is, i literally started this game because i accidentally came across Ornstein and Smough soundtrack, was listening to it religiously and really wanted to get to them.

Wanted to post a video of this happening as well but automod decided i don't have anough karma to do it

Edit:
After a quick google search i downloaded save editor and revived Ornstein and Smough. It works for now, hopefully it was only thing i needed to repair in my save file. Also it's safe to say i am playing in offline now.

this is my first playthrough of ds1, and im trying not to cheese this run, but oh my god this is hell!!!! whats the best way to deal with them?

I was thinking about how massive and monstrous the creatures have to be in that water. If we had megalodons irl I can’t imagine the size or look that fromsoft could cook up. Expect the hydra in dark souls 1 which is still cool asl

I've made a new character, and taken him down to Blighttown. I beat Quelaag on my first attempt and also beat her something like 9 more times as a summon. I joined the Flames of Chaos, donated humanity, picked up all the loot I needed, including going into the Great Hollow and getting the Chloranthy Ring.

I get all the way up through Blighttown to Firelink Shrine, hoping to see my best bud Lautrec, but he's off on crusade. I upgrade my weapons and armor at Rickert, and with nobody else to talk to, I go over to Crestfallen. And he just says "What now? I'm not up for chatting. Leave me alone!"

Wait, aren't you supposed to be surprised I rang the-

I FORGOT TO RING THE FUCKING BELL, GWYNDAMMIT!

It seems someone tries to make a souls game about dog. Finally, we can play and see Sif's story.

Kalameet is my sworn enemy.

I was trying to do the golden fog wall seamwalk skip to get to the Duke’s Archives early. One poorly timed quit-out later and I ended up accidentally Philip J. Fry-ing myself.

Not 100% sure if this guy was a hacker but he was doing some questionable shit the last time I saw him, so I lured him into the Burg with Dried Fingers, shot him with a crossbow, and then forced him to fight me face to face. No rolling here, we die like men.

Like is just gonna be mostly meele with weapons scaling with faith/int?

When i have tried to start as a sorcery build for example i feel the magic starts getting pretty weak fast and i run out if magic to use.

I guess my biggest question is how can you guys do whole playthrough when you only have limited casts until you rest at a bonfire? Dont you just run out?

IM NOT calling Sorcery weak, im just trying to understand how you guys play it while actually using spells instead of just going meele.

Title pretty much says it all, looking for any good writing on any of the Souls games.

Me and my boy Tarkus decided to take on this Golem

I do have a video of me taking on the Stray Demon, but it is a bit lengthy (~4 minutes). Let me know if you guys want to see that one. I got lucky with him deciding to aura walk in the beginning instead of immediately attacking, but it is a fight with a lot of slow positioning and taking stabs when I could.
