#same with smough & ornstein and the shit with my bad rolls

Favorite thing about dark souls bosses is when I spend several hours trying to kill one with no luck, and then change 1 thing and kill it within 3 tries afterwards

#text post tag #dark souls #case in point: gwyn that old bastard #spent hours tryna kill his crusty ass #realized that maybe using a thunder weapon on him wasnt a good ide #switched it to crystal instead of thunder #and immediately did 100% better against him #same with smough & ornstein and the shit with my bad rolls #literally as soon as i fixed my rolls i killed them in one try #incredible

I’m having the worst time in anor londo.

I can’t kill Ornstein and Smough on my own, I’m not that good yet. But Solaire dies really fast to their second form. I do too, even wearing full Havel get-up. The butt stomp does 90% of my health. I figure I should go with lighter armor to get the spicy roll, which is, fair, i guess. Problem is, I can’t use my greathammer if I do that, and I don’t have other weapons that scale well with strength. It was the only weapon I found that was pulling its weight against the armored enemies so I’d been dumping points into strength for a while.

But then there’s those giant fucking knights! They never put their shield down and they hit SO hard! They wouldn’t be so bad but they have more mobility than I do! They weigh as much a freight train, but they hop backwards like a scared cat whenever I think i finally got the drop on them. The ones inside the castle also put up their big fucking shields and heal behind them and they also cast wrath of god. I can kill them pretty reliably, but it takes a long time and it’s no fun at all.

Even if I’m only summoning Solaire, I have a limited supply of humanity and not many people are really summoning at this point in time. I could go and grind off the rats in the depths, but it’s SO FUCKING FAR. JUST. LET. ME. WARP. THERE. Hell, if I could warp, I could maybe pick up a faster strength weapon, like a mace or something. I have a morning star, but for some reason even though it has a reasonably high number, it does jack and shit for damage? I mean, +5 great club is doing a couple hundred a hit, +5 morning star is doing........ like...... 12.... and the bleed doesn’t build up quick enough to be worth it against anything with a shield or armor. Is it just broken?

SO, you have to humanize at the bonfire, and it’s a long trek to the boss gate, relatively speaking, and I keep getting invaded and killed by the SAME FUCKING GUY OVER AND AND OVER AGAIN. I don’t mind invasions usually, and I want to leave online on in case I run into another player to summon who won’t die as fast as Solaire does, because Solaire, god bless him, is a fucking idiot who just stares in awe and the enormous hammer coming down on his head instead of swinging his sword. SOLAIRE. STOP CASTING THUNDER ON THEM. THEY RESIST IT.

I really appreciate in ds3 and ds2 where you can avoid humanizing until you’re ready so that you don’t run the same risk of getting invaded again and again and again and wasting your humanity.

This is so frustrating! I feel like I’m just flushing my time down a toilet! I have enough faith to cast miracles, but i have no miracles to cast! I looked it up and apparently the advanced miracle tutor just fucks off to a late game area after a while.

I was using a mod to set the framerate to 60fps on PC, but it turns out that breaks all the physics and causes game breaking bugs. But if I run it at 30 fps as intended, it is a jittery fucking nightmare! All the tiny little details flashing by are hell to look at!

I could leave, but I really don’t wanna go through sen’s fortress again... that place is the woooooooooorst.

I’m really not having a lot of fun with this game. Am I missing something???
