Okay, I never even went anywhere near Lautrec, I have not kiled the Gargoyles and yet my firekeeper is just dead now somehow. What the fuck? This didn't happen in my first run through.

He gets out by himself at some point. Did you do Blighttown first?

yeah. I killed Quellaag and ceaceless

That's probably why then. That's pretty dumb that it works like that tbh

STATUS UPDATE:

Have made my way to the first bell with relative ease, under 10 deaths so far. Decided that only 1 plunge attack would suffice for the Taurus Demon, and my rusty ass nearly got myself killed right near the end. That thin wall is the only thing that makes the fight have anything remotely resembling a challenge, it's easy to get stuck on a bit of rubble or roll right into it.

Grabbed the Claymore as soon as I could, and began pumping all of my souls into improving it with Andre. Got my shit handed to me multiple times by that asshole with the UGS up on the tower before I called it quits. I'll return to kick his ass later. Managed to backstab the boar twice in a row, lucky me.

The +4 Claymore absolutely demolished everyone in the Undead Parish. 2-shotting Balder Knights is always good, and the Gargoyles didn't fare much better either. I picked up Havel's ring after getting to Darkroot, so know I'm rocking the full Elite Knight set with the Grass Crest shield. I'm pretty much sorted for the rest of the game now, I think. Next stop is Pinwheel.

Fellow gamer here, just stopping buy to recommend that you all buy Nioh Complete Edition on Steam

Does the game feel like a challenge any more? I love it to bits but I know the game inside and out. Just feels each time I boot it up I just write out a shopping list and then we're good.

I'm putting faith in your recommendation Chally.

NOOOOOOOO

So I'm guessing a lot of new players are going to be playing for the first time on the remaster. I can't wait for all the crying and complaints.

'How the fuck am I supposed to kill the Asylum demon with a broken sword?'
'Who the fuck puts a black knight in the second area?'
'How the fuck do I get past this fucking cunt of a dragon'
'How do I beat that rocky dildo looking motherfucker down the tower?'

It seems simple enough to me. Follow the path of easier enemies, Havel and The Black Knight are little off shoots of the path you're heading down. If you can't beat them yet, maybe it's a sign you should go a different route for now.
