Anyone who summoned for help during a boss fight didn't really beat the game.

Careful Anon, you don't want to trigger the redditors and make them come out of the woodwork to defend their easy mode.
Shut the fuck up.
Now for the important question. What's the deal with the giant throwing spears? I just got to him and he's just saying he's a helpful guy. Is he a helpful guy? Or does he not know what he's saying.
>>334515173
If you didn't play the game with constant freezing and FPS drops you didn't really beat the game.
Agreed, my friends and I entered a gentleman's agreement before the game came out not to use summons.
>>334515549
good boy
>>334515348
He's a helpful guy
If you befriend him (you did) he will throw spears at ennemies in all area with white tree. It's useful.
>>334515756
for a pathetic pleb. sry ur not good
>>334515173
I summon any story related NPC because it feels like I'm progressing in the game alongside them.
Come fight me nigga
Reminder that every time you use a summon for any reason the run turns into a "cheat run" and you have to restart to reset it.
>>334515173
This is why i pirate
>>334515836
no, i want nothing to do with u
>>334515756
Are there many white trees?
Maybe i wouldn't have summoned if the game was actually balanced for slow weapon users.
>pontiff
>nameless king
The only time I summoned was for the Cursed Tree, not because it was hard, but because the fight was way too long.
>>334516050
There's quite a bit and at points it's really useful. I think in one of the swamps in game it helps you kill a Giant Enemy Crab that would otherwise be hard because you are in deep water
>>334515173
Do NPCs count? Because O&S was legitimately driving me insane. I got smough 2 hits away from killing him THREE fucking times after 20+ minutes of running around in circles so I just said fuck it and summoned solaire. I was stuck on them for like a week.
>>334515173
>play the game the way I want you to play it
Shitpost 101
>>334515836
That's fine, this is arguably harder than playing solo.
I summoned all npc besides once or twice.
It counts bitch.siegward made yhorm trivial

w/e helps u sleep at night
>>334516107
the excuses...
I didn't use any summons during my DS1 play, but you're still a faggot, OP.
>>334516834
>I-I don't s-s-suck, it's the game that's b-broken!
It's terrible but what can we do, reddit is here to stay.
>>334515173
Does it count if every Phantom dies to Nameless King instantly in phase 2 anyway?
>>334515173
what an elitist asshole opinion.
>>334516913
they will never leave
>>334515173
true
i only summoned for deacons of the deep
and skeleking
not because they were hard, they just were not fun
>>334515173
Summons are a big part of the game you humongous asshole.
>two bonfires less than 50 yeards away
>game shits out bonfires more than das2
A game where betas go to feel like alphas. Some life eh boys? Oh, go ahead and call me a casual so you can feel good about yourself. But also think about how pathetic you really are. Mask the truth in childish nerdy insults.
>>334515348
these are arrows. If you played Dark Souls 1 you'd know giants have a long history of using big ass bows to drop a motherfucker from 3 miles away
>>334516231
>game literally has Giant Enemy Crabs
Meme magic is real.
i beat every boss solo, melee only
nameless kings took 10 attemps, the 2nd highest attemps was pontiff with 5
>>334520051
low skilled shitter detected
>>334516107
Have you played any of the other games? Artorias and Manus were exactly like that. You'd be lucky to get even one hit in every once in a while
>>334522441
I imagine if I was a newer player I'd probably find pontiff a lot harder than manus or artorias to be honest
I wouldn't be able to deal with the 8 hit combos, fast straight attacks and grabs
And I definitely wouldn't have been able to deal with the split form and the double attack shit they do
>>334522441
Artorias and Manus move in slow motion compared to pontiff. Pontiff never ends his combos, has sixteen different quick attacks to suddenly hit behind him and every single attack he does hits at a 360 degree angle around him
>>334522198
>world has actual magic
>giant crabs are unbelievable
So imagining the dark souls world has a high oxygen content that makes large crustaceans viable is equally crazy.
>>334522698
You never heard of giant enemy crab did you?
Tip: attack its weak spot for massive damage
I get summoned to learn the bosses and gain souls on the way even if I die, then solo it.
>>334515173
Somewhat true.
It is annoying to join a host that has no clue whatsoever and didn't even bother trying to fight the boss.
But that doesn't stop 3 players pummeling A.I. and stunlocking mobs from being fun.
It feels gratifying that the enemy you had such a hard time with is dealt so easily.
