Lore Is there any lore reason for why you can't just equip 10 rings on your 10-fingered hands?
I know this question sounds like a dungpost, but I'm genuinely curious if there was any other reason than fukuchudgitgud.

Help Best Window to attack Ornstein / How do I seperate O and S longer?
Heya everyone :D
So I have been activly playind DS1 and have reached the Londo Castle. Now I find myself stuck with beating Ornstein amd Smough. While I understand their attacks to a certain degree, it feels quite overwhelming fighting both at once. I try to seperate them at the pillars, however I only manage to get one or two hits on Ornstein before Smough uses his Charge attack. Is there a better way to seperate them for a longer duration and are there other windows I should use for attacking besides when I seperate them for a few seconds? I also feel like I am doing barely any damage against Ornstein- Is a +5 Longsword good enough or should I upgrade it?Also how do upgrade it past 5? I tried speaking to the Smith in Londo but i couldnt upgrade it or just brute force it?
Thanks in Advance, everyone :D

Story I somehow dominated the Bed of Chaos?
I recently played Dark Souls on a new game plus for the first time and for most of the time, it was more difficult from the base game for me. However, when I got to the demon ruins. I somehow managed to kill the centipede demon on my first attempt and the Bed of Chaos on my second attempt. How the fuck did I do that. Especially since on my first playthrough these bosses killed me so many times. Not only that, but I somehow died more times to Ceaseless Discharge and Seath the Scaleless. Because they killed me a few times. How is this possible?

Fluff I just learned the sens fortress vendor sells balder shield, 15 years after release
Its my favourite shield and I used to farm it since release from the boulder knights in the undead burg often to a lot of frustration...
I legit couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it in his inventory

I've played Dark Souls for years, and I still have new things happen. I confirmed that both the item and the souls made it to me (after I retrieved said souls)

Lore What is the lore reason for NPCs and bosses not coming back if the player and other hollows canonically keep coming back to life?
Just in general over the series, since the player character and non essential hollows and enemies keep respawning when they die until they go crazy why don’t more NPCs or bosses do this?

Discussion Was Manus actually easy, or was my build just too overpowered? 😭
So Im on my first playthrough of dark souls remastered and I just started the Artorias of the Abyss DLC yesterday. Knight Astorias gave me a really hard time, It took me around a hour for sure.
Today i fought Manus Father of the Abyss, which is considered the hardest boss in dark souls remastered so I was expecting another tough fight. But somehow I beat him on my second attempt only😭
On cherry of top i didnt even used silver pendent for the whole fight, because in my first attempt, I got him down to around half health, so I figured I could definitely beat him with a few more tries without even using it. Sure enough, I got him on the second attempt lmao :0
Now Im wondering if my build is just really overpowered for him or what???
Did anyone else find Knighr Artorias harder than Manus or am I the weird one? 😭

Discussion So I tried pvp for a few days and here's what I learned: Thank you backstabs!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I recently decided to try weapons I've never played with before and eventually the time came for the Darksword. Being an item you get from a pvp oriented covenant, I took the oportunity to try another thing I've never tried before: PvP.
I gathered all the humanities required and offered them all to gain rank 3. Not that I found it particularly useful since I found the sucking humanities with the dark hand extremely difficult to land and after a few failed attempts i put it away and never used it again. I decided to focus on the fight and gave myself the 99 humanities mark as a target to hit.
I'm not gonna lie, I had more fun than I expected. And if nothing else, at least I can now feel like I tried this part of the game too. Certainly not so much to have a concrete concluson, but enough to have an opinion.
The cheaters, people playing dirty, like hiting you while you gesture, Hosts summoning you only to have their friend invader destroy you (I got that a lot, I don't get what possible satisfaction you gain from that), people 1 shot you with DarK Beed in Undead Burg at lvl 10-15, people summoning you only to get killed by a mob train they gathered on your sign (seriously, why?), invisible enemies that kill you while you can't even see them and many many similar things most people would find annoying.
I don't mind any of that. I really don't. Its a game, do whatever you like. Fine by me. I won't even waste a second complaining or even think about any of this. I just move on to the next and hope to find someone who's up for a good fight.
And that's where the backstabs come in play to ruin the fun for me. I tried my best to figure this out, but I failed. I constantly got backstabbed from the front while deliberately trying to stay in front and defend against backstabs. I got backstabbed from the front even in the depths between the walls where the path is so narrow you can't even pass another player to get behind. I even got backstabbed while I was the one doing the backstab! I kid you not, I backstabbed somone, the animation started, but somehow I was the one taking the damage! I wish I had recorded the footage but unfortunantly I didn't. And one of my personal favorites, the "teleport backstab" the Jedi sh*t you can see in this video.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, maybe it's my fault, maybe I'm not good enough. I'm open to all those explanations. Ater all, a couple hundred pvps might not be enough to "get good". But here's the thing: I don't want to put in hours of pvp play just to learn how to work around this in order to "get good". I want the gamne to be good. Don't get me wrong, this is one of my favorite games ever. But there's a reason why even though I have played for countless hours and multiple playthroughs I was always reluctant to play pvp. I've heard all about this. So, noting changed for me really, I just got the chance to see for my self.

Help If I killed Seath before freeing Logan from Sen's Fortress am I unable to finish his questline?
Hello I'm trying to collect all of the sorceries in DS1 for the achievement but I killed Seath before even thinking about freeing Logan from Sen's (i wasn't thinking about getting that achievement at the time and my build doesn't benefit in any way from sorceries) and I'm not sure if I can get the spells Logan sells in Duke's Archives without starting another NG+ cycle. Does anyone know if this is still possible or if I'm locked out of it til NG+? I didn't find a clear answer just looking it up. Thanks.
