I love how poison is a thing in this game.

It's so necessary and so fun.

The best part about losing your souls is that you don't have to walk on eggshells anymore.

I mean, you still do, but some of the tension is gone, because you don't have anything to lose anymore.

Yeah having a crap ton of souls can be a burden. My rule of thumb is that after I beat a boss, I spend them.

Pretty sure there's an option to toss items when you select them in your inventory screen. I know DS2 has that, but I can't remember if 1 does.

There's a merchant a bit further on that sells an item that lets you store things at a bonfire.

Do you have a backup weapon for when the Spear doesn't work?

Throw them into the bottomless box - assuming you bought it.

Only liable option you have right now.

Then you can only discard them completely for the time being.

Rule of thumb for souls games.

Use em' or lose em.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

A bold strategy Cotton, let's see how it plays out.

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
I played through DS2 entirely without raising vigor at all because I was still in the DS1 mindset that vitality was the HP stat.

Hopping on again.

I'll try to get an update in tonight, but that'll depend on if I make any progressions at all.

Backstabbing is a lot harder than it seems.

Which bit of backstabbing are you having a problem with?

Took me ages to figure out you can't backstab while holding up your shield

I don't remember being taught how to do it back at the asylum, so maybe I'm not supposed to know right now.

Either way, it's kinda like parrying, where I don't exactly know what I'm doing wrong--it's probably just some kind of specific timing or positioning, I dunno.

I should start paying attention to the little item descriptions on the loading screen more. Every now and then, I'll look at a pretty little ring with some neat effect, and I'll be like, "Ooh, I want that."

Fuck these rats. Looks like this is gonna be a full Hollow playthrough after all.

EVERY time I get one piece of humanity, I die twice before I can make good use of it.

This is why no one could ever convince me that the souls mechanic is good design.

Hey, if you've been to that forest yet, farm those trees. They drop things to negate poison.

It's not even just the poison--they can knock you the fuck off cliffs, even when you're blocking.

FUN
