What's her name, /v/?
That's the first one I'd think of even if it weren't the OP image. Although a lot of my trouble came from missing the second bonfire, it was still a pain in the dick even making it that far.
Shrine of Amana wasn't even shitty back when it first released before all the nerfs.
SoA is one of the best examples of what's wrong with Souls players post-PtDE.
>Game offers unprecedented options for ranged combat
>including aiming spells, crossbows, and tronger throwing knives and urns than ever before
>Also offers unprecedented variety in terms of magic defense choices
>Options include spell parry shields, rings with 5% reductions or a 50% to reflect, shield infusion, defensive buffs, consumables that improve defense
>Rather than using any of the aforementioned tools, most players rushed headlong through waist-deep water to try and punch the casters in the faceeven though that strategy is valid if you have high ADP, most didn't invest in APD

This is your response to an accusation about being closed minded and stubborn? Your self awareness is lacking

Yeah I played DkS2 on release and pre-nerf Amana was tough but not really "unfair". Anyone with half a brain should realize that having SOME form of ranged attack is necessary for a first playthrough of a Souls game.
>people had problems with this area pre-nerf
Just fuck off you faggots, this was the best part of the game.
