whew sens fortress had me anxious af the entire time lol but I made it to the top, the iron golem or whatever boss isn’t gonna be too hard but I did die in both my tries but I generally understand what I have to do

 

After @Penlab inspired me to jump back into the game after 2-3 months off, I’m finding it SO much more enjoyable while using a guide. There’s just so much content and stuff to keep track of that I realize I felt directionless. With the guide, it’s much more rewarding knowing that I’m making progress and not being useless.

 

Idk why people are so against using guides to begin with haha I’ve been looking stuff up in every fromsoft game I’ve been playing, I probably would’ve been stuck in blighttown for days if I didn’t but I managed to get to the bottom in two hours

 

Fringefolk Hero's Grave can officially fuck off forever. Finally cleaned it out. Also killed the Ancient Hero of Zamor in the Weeping Gaol.

Now the only things I have left in Limgrave involve Crucible Knights, and they can fuck off until later. Time for a dip in the Lakes!

 

Honestly, I hadn’t looked too much for a guide or given it much through. I’ve never played a game before where it was so imperative. When penlab linked one I checked it out and it has been great.

just picked up moonveil and it looks like I finally might retire the ice axe

 

Decided to check out more of Miqella's Haligtree before going to Farum Azula after all; glad I did as I made it all the way to Elphael and picked up tons of good stuff along the way.

I have recently started using +10 Mimic Tear as my summon (went through the whole game with Banished Knight summon with the halberd up until Fire Giant) and my GOD is that thing OP.

 

....there's a Crucible Knight in Stormveil?
whelp looks like i missed something else there


also, last night i ran into Okina and good GOD i hated him. a big reason i'm not great at games is i get tilted imeeeeeediately. i just kept getting so frustrated at his range+speed of every hit he got on me and then how he managed to dodge roll a dozen times in a damn row i beat him after i think like 8 or 9 tries? at least i finally have Rivers of Blood.

i'm getting close to the Fire Giant now, i know after igniting the Erdtree Leyndell changes to the "ashen capital", does some stuff become inaccessible after that?

 

Thought I would move on from Atlus Plateau but I keep finding cool shit. Killed the dragon near where lightning strikes and got an awesome dragon lighting incantation. Then fought a Black Knife Assassin boss outside this crazy catacomb. He dropped a fantastic dagger that does the same dragon lightning damage as that incantation I was referring to. AND IT SCALES OFF FAITH! Feel like good faith weapons are rare at this rate.

The catacomb was really cool too. Multiple stonesword key areas and certain enemies could only be killed after luring them into these golden light areas.

Then fought a giant beetle horse that did gravity magic. Shit was wild.

 

I literally went back & found him as soon as I read that post lol, had no idea! You have to jump off a wall where the 3rd hawk w/ explosive barrels is way up on the roof and then make your way down

 

I'm stopping for today. I'm in the Cliffbottom Catacombs right now, and I've found another bane of my existence: Omens, the ogre-like creatures that exist here with my old friend, the Imp.

Also on the field, discovered a new scary enemy: the mechanical soldiers that go into a frenzy and start slicing and dicing. Fuckin' a.

 

ohhhhh that guy!! i remember now!! lol yeah i'm pretty sure i cheesed that guy too. i made a couple knights fall into elevator pits lmao

 

the Marionette soldiers are SO annoying. you really gotta get a quick combo hit on em to kill them before they start doing that, the sword ones in particular

 

I'm rethinking how I'm going to approach the Lakes once I start up again.

I was intending to just move up the map and clear things as I went, but the Lakes is too large a region and there's way too much stuff to do it that way, so now I think instead I'm going to start by just scouting the map, getting the map pieces, activating Sites of Grace, and exploring any overworld locales, clearing anything easy to clear.

 

Damn Caelid sucks. So ugly. Not even fun to look at.

 

What the fuck

 

Caelid is sick wtf. Plus the spooky ambient music.

 

Caelid is definitely the most desolate thing I've ever seen
But I always describe From software games to people I know as the video game equivalent of getting flipped off, so... it tracks

 

Ornstein and smough are fucking ROUGH. fun ass fight but damn I’m struggling by the time I get to phase 2 even with solaire

 

If Caelid was a person

 

got ‘em!

 

Was inspired to start a new run on Dark Souls remastered. So far the bosses I have beaten include:
Sub Bosses:
Capra Demon
Hydra
Havel

Bosses:
Asylum Demon
Gargoyles
Moonlight Butterfly
Gaping Dragon
Stray Demon
Sif (Best boss ever?!)

Game is still great

 

Am now at Godskin Duo in Crumbling Farum Azula, have not stepped through the door yet though as I was extremely pissed off after losing 110,000 runes by rolling backwards off a cliff and didn't want to make my mood worse lol. Liking CFA a lot so far though, was expecting the enemies to be intense but they are very manageable, even the first dragon was pretty straightforward save for the camera being awful throughout.

 

There is a summon there fyi

 

Oh, I'm so sorry. That is dogshit.

I haven't done that, but I have accidentally fallen off multiple platforms by dodging when I actually want to run, and it's so frustrating.

 

I saved/exited the game stood right infront of it so I don't forget lol, hoping them and my Mimic Tear go beast mode

That's the most I've ever lost, but at level 150+ that was only 60-70% of a level-up so was not too bad
