>>322295830

its those edgar allen poe axes to be honest, fuck em
It's more everything after Anno Londo that makes me not want to replay anon.
>>322295830
>>322296043
being this bad
>>then you remember this part
the best part?
>>322295830
this was the best part of the whole game what are all you people smoking
>>322295830
>Having difficulty at Sen's Fortress
It's only hard the first time around. After you learn all the traps, it's not as bad.
>>322296161
>doesnt like new londo
>doesnt liketomb of the spoopy skeletons
I get why people may not like dukes archives but I enjoyed a fair amount after anor londo, and yea some of the hype dies down because its a big buildup
>>322295830
>hating sen's funhouse and invading people dressed as the Iron Giant
fucking blighttown is abysmal but sens is the shit
Nothing wrong with Sen's Funhouse, nignog. The only part I remember is everything after Biggie & Smalls.

Areas are easy when you know the exploits, take your time and know when to back up. It's some of the bossfights that are a pain in the ass.
Pic related is stopped me remaking my lvl16 dickwraith and nobody leaves summon signs outside.
>>322295830
Anon if you don't like this part you obviously didn't make it tothe library.
Sens isn't even that bad. If you are autistic you can grab a bow and kill everything or just run through. The boulder thing switching randomly is the only bad part.
>>322296628
>replayed the game on pc and 360 a few months ago
>like 5 summon signs the entire game
>invaded at the forest in seconds
>>322296471
Duke's is the last memorable location of any that you mentioned, however. New Londo is literally one building with 69 ghosts and Tomb is hug wall to Nito. Catacombs was superior and that's pre-Lord Vessel.
I dunno what you are all smoking. The traps are irritating, especially the last one. Everything in that place is designed to make you fall off and spend 15 minutes getting back to where you were. I have like 8 characters that I play and they all stop at Sen's because I cbf dealing with that shit. Or they get to Anor Londo and cbf dealing with the catwalk at the top.
>>322296471
>New Londo is after Anal Rodeo
>>322295830
C'mon mate.
>>322295830
You can run through Sens top to bottom in like 3 minutes flat. It's a tiny fucking area which feels deceptively big the first time you're there. Plus Anor is right after it and that's basically the highlight of the game.
>>322295830
It's the best part. I've hours upon hours invading Sens alone.
The horror parts of a new DaS1 character for me were;
>Collecting all the lizards in Great Hollow.
>Killing the Titanite Demons at the bottom of Sens.
>The alley in Blighttown with the four dartguys and dogs guarding a keeper soul.
>Getting Seath's tail without a coop partner.
>Clearing all the dragon asses in Izalith.
>Remembering to interact with Reah before she fucks off somewhere or gets shanked.
>>322297062
>Did Bed of Chaos first time out without any prior knowledge of the boss before hand
Fucking easy. That flaming AoE does massive damage though, I was pretty tanky and even then it almost killed me a couple of times. Are people retarded and get caught out by the collapsing floor on this boss?
Don't fall into the mud until you get the moovy fasty metallic leg shackler of unencumbering and you'll be fine. That's the only really difficult area.
I tend to think of Dook's or Izalith.
Most of my runs end with Manus.
>>322297018
Yes?
>>322297432
No boss but bed of chaos "killed' me more than three times. Different things are annoyingly hard for different people.
>>322295830
blight town is worse. Sens is actually one of the best parts in the game
>Years ago, first time fighting artorias
>Can't beat the fucker
>Frustrated to the point of throwing my controller like a child
>Play a new character recently
>Just now killed Artorias in one attempt
Makes me realize the extent to which I didn't know what the fuck I was doing back then.
I still have that original character, and it is not built well at all.
>>322297432
>platforming in dark souls
is ass.
Every time I feel like doing a fresh playthrough of Devil May Cry 3 on DMD difficulty, I always hesitate because there's always going to be missions where I am forced to fight these pic related motherfuckers.
Sure, the number-one solution against them is to shotgun them in the face or Helm Breaker them to interrupt their animations. But they just LOVE to dash away from you and each hit they do takes away 1/4 your health even when your health bar is maxed out.
Thankfully, DMC3 has a mission select option, so I can always play the missions that don't have them, as long as I've already beaten them once.
Still, though, DMC3 is loaded with enemies that are designed purely to be annoying, like these Enigmas or The Fallen.
>Make new guy in DS2
>Head straight to Heide's Tower
>able to fist the giant knights by circling around easily enough 1v1
>reach the room with the one sword wielding one and two shield guys
>Beat the sword guy but repeatedly get fucked by the two shield niggers
I don't know how I managed that area so easily in my first run, eventually I just said fuck it and rushed to the Dragonrider ignoring enemies and killed him to get the bonfire and continue to Piratetown.
>>322295830
i actually rather liked this part. my first time through DS, which was a blind playthrough, i died tons of times to traps and like the mimic chest and just generally not knowing precisely where to go and all. but it was fun--every time, i would get a bit farther, figure out where to go. it was probably one of the most iconic areas in the game to me, really epitomized the whole design philosophy Dark Souls has.
that is, to force you to learn and get better to win.
>>322297612
Technically it doesn’t have to be.
>>322298386
Finishing it does.
But that area is great anon. The worst area is that stupid basin/ forrest area towards the beginning.
>giant broken hydra who feels like its still in alpha
>spammed golems right next to broken hydra
>spammed bush enemies
>those stupid panther enemies (this wouldn't bother me so much if the developers hadn't left in that tree exploit that makes fighting them a joke)
Not to mention half the area is just a giant empty forrest that lacks any actual level design
>>322298457
No, you can even kill the 4kids without the Lordvessel.
>>322298457
No, you're wrong.
Its the best area before the game nosedives after anal rodeo though
>>322295830
>he can't skip along past sens funhouse
Wow and I thought this place couldn't be any more sad.
>>322298176
It's hardly fucking platforming. You run onto a stable bit of ground when another starts to collapse. You are given warning.
>>322298614
>>322298734
Oh, I just looked it up. I guess if you kill Ingward then yeah you're right.
I want to continue my game, but DSFix doesn't fucking help that much with my framerate. My computer should run it fine, but the damn game still lags when I fix it up.
>>322295830
It takes no longer than 10mins to run through.
>>322296918
Nobody want to bro-op these days, just be edgy invaders.
>>322295830
>being intimidated by Sen's
Jesus Christ, are you a child or something? Sen's is one of the few fun areas in the game, because it's a place where you actually HAVE to be alert to your surroundings at all times and have to be very strategic when moving past the various obstacles the level present. It's not like other early areas such as The Depths or even later areas such as Duke's Archives where you don't have to be as strategic and alert.
Scared of the swinging axes? Rotate your fucking camera around so that you can know when to move forward. Scared of the Resident Evil 4 boulders? Just time your runs. You don't even need tight timing to be safe from boulders. Same philosophy goes for the rock throwers on the roof. The arrow traps should NEVER be a problem.
None of this is anywhere remotely as hard as the obstacles in hardcore platformer games. You don't need anywhere near the same level of precision. Just get good and beat the level.
>>322295830
Having played through 4 times I've learned to just glaze over when going through areas I hate. Different areas are exceptionally shitty depending on your build. For example, I wanted to break my controller in half while doing New Londo as a DEX/INT mage but it was a cakewalk as a STR/VIT 2-hander.
The only thing I absolutely hate with aburningpassion after hundreds of hours is Bed of Chaos
>People talking shit about sen's being easy
Ya okay, just because you watched Lobos speedrun the game doesn't make you an expert.
>>322298518
>giant empty forrest that lacks any actual level design
So, uhhh, like a real forest?
You don't fucking go through a forest and expect a hidden room/illusionary wall at every corner.
>>322298518
>panther enemies
>Taris
>>322299579
>So, uhhh, like a real forest?
Well yes, but that doesnt necessarily make it good for a video game retard.
>>322299593
How would you describe them? Tasmanian devils?
>want to beat dark souls 1 but cannot beat the four kings
i'm fucked
>>322299425
>"h-he must be lying!"
Oh fuck off. Sen's is a challenging but simple level. Having trouble the first time through is understandable (as is the case with any other level in the game), but second playthroughs onward should not pose you any problems.
>>322295830
>first play through
>see summons in Sen's
>get a bro to go through the place with
>die on the swinging axes
>start cycle of summons and dying to traps,boulders, and axes again.
>eventually I was too embarrassed to summon and got gud.
>>322299425
the only mandatory part that is "more than average difficulty for a souls game" is the short axe bridge after the boulder handle room because the axes are so close together
>>322299425
Who? I'm an expert because I played the game and had some basic intelligence. The place is full of hitbox exploits and easy to dodge traps.
>>322299794
just put on your heaviest armor and R1 them to death
>>322299794
They do magic damage and are weak to fire. You can summon Beatrice if you summoned her for the moonlight butterfly fight but I don't know if she'll be of any help.
Furthermore, you can level up as much as you want to in these games will little to no penalty. I'm not sure if requesting help in video games is allowed on /v/ though...
>>322300010
The real penalty is leveling out of populated multiplayer
>>322299746
I don't know what you're talking about. The closest thing would be the two Cheshire cats in the grove near the mushroom family.
>>322299619
>Taris at level 2 because min-maxing autism
Always puts me off to replaying that game.
>>322300220
multiplayer really dies down after O&S anyway. I think I got summoned once in Archives (at the bonfire before the crystal cave) on my last playthrough about 2 months ago and that was it.
>>322300312
Why not just keep a save at the end?
>>322300302
These things. I believe there's 3 of them. It just frustrates me that the devs put them right next to trees encouraging the player to hide in the trees and attack them from saftey. The entire fight feels negated because of it.
>First playthough
>Found Claymore at the bridge
And then the game was already won
>Second playthough
>Hear about black knight weapons being awesome
>get a BKH by chance after getting grass crest shield for stamina
>upgrade to +2 at the smithy
>two shot gargoyles
>Get power within in blighttown
>Decide to be ballsy and try and use RTSR after stumbling around the drakes using the master key
ALL POWER
>>322299879
I've never gotten hit by any of the axes. What do they even do to you?
>>322300424
That's fine if you plan on playing the same class.
>>322300854
The claymore is great in demons souls. They changed the R1 to a gay vertical attack. It's just not the same.
>>322300869
they boop you
>>322300869
You get knocked down to a swampy basement or die from falling
>>322300869
You get pushed down and join the titanite demons in a swanky pool party
Does summoning an AI to help with a fight (like Solaire) make the boss' HP go up?
>>322301708
All summons do, yeah.
>tfw making a white phantom Patches cosplayer who sabotages hosts in Sen's
I'll never forget getting engrish hate mail from a Jap when I blocked the doorway after he summoned Tarkus, forcing him to attempt to solo the fully buffed Iron Golem.
Another favorite moment was blocking the spike elevator trap exit when the host was already heavily injured.
>>322295830
>tfw you want to make a new character but then you remember one of the best parts of the game
Sen's Funhouse is called a Funhouse for a reason, anon. It's probably my favorite area in the gameespecially for invasions, and it's one of the best designed areas for sure. Acquire skill.
>>322297314
Yeah, fuck those lizards in the tree. I don't think I've ever got them all.
Forest Gank bros would drop me free slabs for not being terrible anyways so I never really bothered.
>>322297432
I'm terrible against the Bed. I just accept the fact that I will lose whatever humanities I have on me before I fight her.
Everything else is smooth sailing though.
More like remembering the game goes to shit after Anal Rodeo.
Sen's is the best part of the game.
>>322295830
If you have trouble with this after you've beaten it once then you're a shitter.
>>322295830
>The easiest part of the game
Anon holy fuck
They removed the jump at the end for fucks sake.
>>322302298
I wanted to try that with DS2, since your character name is visible first and there's rings to make you look human or a white phantom.
I could never get the face right in a way that wouldn't bug me hours into a run though.
>>322295830
>any mandatory, drawn out, story heavy tutorial segments at the very beginning of any game
>>322303837
Fucking recent MH games.
They used to be optional god damn it.
>>322295830WELCOME
>>322303837
>mass effect 2
>>322296628
If you can't make a low level twink on your own, you're not worthy of it.
>>322295830
It's more getting all my favorite weapons all over again that turns me away. SKS took me forever to fucking get and I'm not grinding that shit again.
