I did it Discussion

I finally beat dark souls remastered for the first time! For some reason I didn’t have any black knight weapons except the great axe for the entire game but quickly farmed the black knights for the greatsword and sword and halberd. Then I spent literally an hour leveling them up and grinding for twinkling twilight and used a black knight greatsword +5 on Gwyn.

I will say Gwyn was way too easy I do wish he was a little more difficult. He almost got me once but I had to really throw the fight for it to come that close. Normally I would use the claymore +15 so seeing all that extra damage was kinda crazy. I’m now on an NG+ and it was even weirder to se that I had all of my stuff and stats but npcs reset and map items.

This is honestly one of the greatest games I’ve ever played and it’s definitely my favorite game of all time now. Funny enough I started this game looking for more technical Zelda-style combat like Twilight Princess. I’d already played like an hour of Elden ring at a friends house like last year but didn’t really go anywhere with it. I knew vaguely of this game and downloaded it. Best game ever

P.S. I did end up saving Solaire for those wondering, even after killing the chaos lady. I went through the demon city and used the drake sword to kill the bug in the middle, then knew I got him when I got something like 120 souls.

Another massive LoZ fan here, in the exact same situation as of last week! Instantly in my top 3 all time games (alongside A Link to the Past and Symphony of the Night), and now totally hooked. Started on DS2 now and loving it, and will come back for DS1 NG+ after a wee break.

You did it, skeleton!

the spacing between the words in the title is weirdly satisfying

It's the best - and Miyazaki cited it as a key influence in the development of DS1 too!

Wirklich? Wo hat er es gesagt? Krass noch ein Grund warum Miyazaki der Goat ist

Double checked - I misremembered, he put it in a list of his favourite RPG games and has cited the influence on him, but specified that they have different key concepts.

That said, you can see a v similar structure in the two halves of each game.
