So when does this game get hard?
>>321283609
Kapra is ez, don't know why so much ppl bitch about this fight
Just wait for Kalameet
>>321283659
I'm in blight town and so far the game is a breeze. First playthrough
>Grass crest shield
>Red tearstone ring
Should have used the drake sword for your bait too desu baka senpai.
>>321283882
>"You see, the game IS hard when you play it a very specific way!"
It's not. It's just a reasonably solid action RPG. It's only hard compared to hand-holding simulators. Are you at least having fun?
Don't worry op, soon you get to fight 7 more of those guys
>>321283609
With Key and Peele.
>>321284265
I feel sorry for the people who got to the lower Demon Ruins bonfire before getting the Lordvessel. That can't have been much fun to work back from. That and Tomb of the Giants.
>>321283609
Never. Once you've mastered mechanics, the stroll further is piss easy.
>>321283609
>he thinks Dark Souls is hard
>>321283609
I don't remember any boss that was really hard, well except for DS2 and 2 cats - but that was some fucked up decision from the dev team. Never managed to beat them.
>>321284482
That happened to me first playthrough, when I realized I had to go all the way back up I took about a 2 week break.
When you don't use wikis or guides
>>321283609
>dark souls
>hard
>Almost no health and no estus left
>no estus and only 1 hp left
Looks like it's hard enough for you already.
>>321284482
>Not having at least one home bone at that point
Mistakes.
>>321284654
>lol2cat
I forgot how I beat them. Getting to them was such a chore, though. Ended up looking up a map for the easiest possible route to them.
>>321283659
Because it's a tight space, and oh shit oh shit the dogs.
You will probably die first time.
THEN you realize that you have to back off, kill the fucking dogs first. Then it's a nice fight.
>>321285576
Do you even know how bones work?
>>321283609
>no estus
>almost no hp
>gcs
>red tearstone
10/10 bait
>>321283609
when you enable human form so i can come kill you
>>321285576
But if you rest at the bonfire you're screwed
>>321285821
psshh forgot pic kid
>>321283609
Well done faggot, how many tries did it take you?
Check my 3
>>321285709
Yes. Don't rest at the bonfire. Makes the run back slightly more bearable.
>>321285775
literally nothing wrong with any of these
>>321285943
Well that's what I meant by 'made it to the lower bonfire', i.e. they made the mistaking of resting at it on the premise that they could keep going and that it wasn't a dead end.
>>321285943
So you're stuck at the bonfire you last used and the bone helps fuck all.
>>321286101
sure bud
>>321283609
>That gear
Probably when you haven't played it 30 times already
>>321286135
>Teleporting next to the elevator isn't useful
Okay
>>321286341
Literally just jump off a cliff for the same result.
>all estus spent
>almost no hp left
>when does this game get hard
never, but you wouldnt notice that
>spend your time browsing Dark Souls threads and learning cheap bullshit
>wow game is EZ
>>321288019
Gotta get those bandwagon points, senpai
>>321283609
the games not hard, learning the game is hard.
grass crest, red tear stone, knowing to screen cap this specific boss,
here is a reply
>I hate how all the SCRUBS say that a game was hard!
>I just watched a ton of YOOTOOB vidz to know what to do
>then used the invincibilty cheat
>fucking beat the game on my first try
>can't believe all these noobs aren't as good as I am
90% of DaS posters:
>beat the game with guides
>brag about how easy it is
>still need a summon to fight Kalameet
>>321283659
Capra demon is a good casual filter
>>321283609
>down to 1 hp
>no estus left
IT WAS EZ GAIS
>wikifag makes a bait thread
>Souls games are hard
>I play Souls game mainly for the hardcore difficulty
>>321283609
Manus is the only somewhat challenging boss in the game, though if you use a shield and don't just two hand then all the bosses are easy.
Who's the hardest boss fight in all Souls games and why is itLudwig?
>>321283609
never
its rpg and not a good action game
It never ceases to amaze me how awful Dark Souls looks.
>>321289447
looks good with DSfix and you downscale from 4k and get the HD pack
>>321283659
Capra is barely a challenge if you have a decent shield. It's a bit harder if you roll, but only if you let the dogs swarm you.
The original Dark Souls is definitely an example of "it's only hard if you don't know what you're doing." Almost every boss fight becomes extremely simple if you understand what the tricks are.
>>321289810
The game in general is easy as shit unless you're a retard who can't do something as basic as dodging
>>321283609
How do I kill the double gargoyles with the axe tails?
>>321290105
Are you Soul Level 99 yet?
That helps.
>>321290105Acquire lightning buffs, if you go back on yourself a bit you'll find some in a chest.
That, and become human at a campfire so you can summon some help
>>321290225
dont bosses and enemies scale with your soul level? so that would be pointless no?
>>321290526
>dont bosses and enemies scale with your soul level?
No?
>>321289810
Capra was hard as shit before the nerfs where they changed his initial position.
Him and his dogs were a lot closer to the entrance so you either managed to squeeze in between him and his right dog or you got fucked in the ass.
It seems like you're using a guide but that's fine no need to think you're cool no one really finds these games hard.
>>321290105
upgrade your weapon to +5
the fight is piss easy after that
>>321290576
No.
>>321283609
it doesnt really
dark souls, and all the other souls games, aren't particularly hard in terms of complexity or gameplay, they are just unforgiving
you need to play carefully and methodically in places, especially as you learn the game and theres almost no checkpoints
so adhd people (so the majority of modern "gamers") struggle with it and talk about brutally hard the games are
>>321283882
Nice spotting the ring. I wouldn't have even noticed.
>>321284025
More like the game is hard unless you look up every detail about the game online including the fastest ways to get the highest level equipment so you can breeze through it.
Played through the game blind without a single death, never played a Souls games before. Overrated garbage.
>>321290791
I think all the hullaballoo comes from two different types of hard.
The kind of "hard" where it's difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, but gets simple later on.
The kind of "hard" where it's difficult even if you know all the tricks.
Dark Souls 1 is only the first kind of hard, with very few exceptions. The second kind of hard applies to more complicated board games.
>>321290105
>Battleaxe+5
>Decent shield
>Lighting resin
>Focus down one gargoyle
>Don't get greedy, be patient
>Be more patient
>Don't give up
Beyond this I can't help you
>>321290105
Reverse Hollowing at a bonfire, then go to the tower and summon both Lautrec and Solaire. Apply Pine Resin to whatever stick you have. If you still can't kill them you might just suck.
Gargoyles are super duper easy with summons, and this early in the game you're supposed to be using the summons for sure.
I had a lot more trouble with the Taurus demon because fighting on that ledge really restricts your movement.
>>321290105
when the second one comes down, run away from it's fire. When you're out of range, rush his fire breathing ass and cut him down.
In order to run away properly, you will have to toggle lock-on off.
Random Bloodborne insert.
I've had some friends say that Bloodborne is the easiest out of all the Souls game. Is this true? I think it's the hardest by a mile, and that they say it's the easiest because it's like their 3rd/4th Souls game, so they know how to approach the fights.
I mean, honestly, having poured a ton of hours into DS1, I don't really think it's that difficult of a game anymore. The only boss who consistently fucks me is the 4 Kings, usually because I can't output enough damage in time before a million of them start spawning and clipping me with magic. But I'm starting to have poured an equal number of hours into Bloodborne, and it's still a pretty fucking difficult game.
Just curious how everyone else felt.
>>321286580
This, OP is a tryhard faggot trying to fit in.

>The second kind of hard applies to more complicated board games.
And roguelikes.
