If you're playing the first Dark Souls, just save yourself the trouble till you "git gud" and play hollow.

You wouldn't believe how much fucking XP I get from this though. One time I entered a battle and it gave me like 30000 fucking XP just for being there. Then I get like 9000 or 5000 for helping beat one of these over powered mother fuckers. It's insane. It's probably the best way to level up I have ever seen. I have just been leveling up strength, intelligence, and endurance.

Oh. You're talking about being summoned into others world's. I thought you were getting invaded often, my mistake.

I dunno how to get invaded. It's never happened to me.

It's so fucking frustrating how everyone is so much stronger than me.

The thing about Dark Souls combat is anyone can beat anyone, you just need the skill do to it. Try practicing rolling and parrying.


I'm still terrible at it myself though

To be honest I have terrible vitality. I need to level that up like crazy before I will be able to take all of these guys on. My weapon does like 220 damage in one hit. I still only leave a tiny little scratch on all of these guys when I try to attack them. Whereas inversely, they all take away like half of all of my health, or the majority of my health in one hit. That's because my vitality is still in the teens of number levels.

Did you pick a weapon that scales with your stats? Also, upgrading your equipment is usually more important than upping stats.

At this point I need large titan shards to get my equipment leveled up that high. My favorite weapon so far is the halbert because of it's versatility. I have that thing at an ascended +2. It's powerful as fuck, it's like 224 damage. It's still not powerful enough to put much of a dent in the enemies I face online. I don't really know what you mean by finding a weapon that matches my stats.

Okay, there are weapons that scale with Strength and Dexterity. There are some weapons that level up with just one of them. Depending on which of those stats you level up, a weapon with a good scaling stat will benefit more.

Like a weapon that has an A scaling in strength will do better with a high strength stat, get it?

How does someone become human in this game?

Use a humanity so you get a '1' in the corner of your screen by your health bar. Then you can reverse hollowing at a bonfire and become human. And if you're human, you can use another humanity at a bonfire, boosting your Estus to 10. Not sure if you knew that.

Oh wow I actually didn't know that. I haven't been human for the entirety of the game so far.

This is why Dark Souls is for retards.

Eh the game can be pretty cryptic. When it first came out I just gave up and stopped playing it and just read some wikis and watched lore videos and along the way I just kind of picked up what to do in the game. Fast forward about 2 years and I beat it, it was enjoyable. People say that going in already knowing stuff ruins the experience but I still had fun.

This. I was like "hurr durr this game sucks ass ill never play it again" when I was in the Asylum. I thought the mechanics and gameplay was a heap of dog shit. I put the game down for a few months, and then returned when I was really bored one day. I persisted, and well, it turns out to be one of the best games I've ever played.

It's a bit of a slog at first but when I got past Sen's I knew I was in it for good. Never looked bacl

It took you to get to Sen's for the game to sink its hooks into you? Jeez, I got hooked after the Burg.

I think it was because it took until Sen's for me to really get into the flow and finally realize I may be able to beat the game. Everything up to then I just kind of stumbled through, and Sen's felt like the make or break point of the game for me. It's like From put it there as a way of saying 'Alright, you made it here. Now are you definitely sure you want to push on? Yes? Good, go get them champ.'

Then you get to Anor Londo. Full of dangerous walkways and towering giants. And you just think to yourself 'Well I said I was gonna push on so fuck it, let's do this!'

Oh yeah, I remember it was because I followed a guide. I value a functioning controller and an enjoyable game instead of a broken controller and a more enjoyable, albeit frustrating game.

But seriously, FUCK those fucking archer knights in Anor Londo. Cunts.
