Got to the Abyss Watchers boss fight today. I've gotten a lot better, it seems. Not dying nearly as much as I used to.

The boss fights are the worst part of the game, honestly. Not because they're bad, but because they're not as good as the rest of the game. I always enjoy myself more when I'm exploring and upgrading my character. Ah, well.

My friend Yoel died, and I think the reason my guy looks all bloodshot and dead is because I used Yoel's upgrades too many times. I'll have to heal the Dark Sigil with something like 60K souls to get rid of it, I think.

I found some Knight in a well in the Cathedral of the Deep. Probably have to buy some armour for him.

Got through Farron's Keep -- fuck that place. It's impossible to navigate, I'm slow as fuck, I'm always poisoned, and I lost like 24K souls somewhere in there. Especially for someone like me who likes to 100% every area.

But so far I can't believe how much I'm enjoying myself. Seriously one of the best games I've played in recent memory.
ferron keep is a bitch, but it wouldn't be a dark souls game without a poison swamp.


What bosses have you beaten and did you ever find the dude in the throne

Yeah, I found him but he didn't have anything of interest.

Something unique about this boss is that it can be backstabbed like normal enemies. So this should help you a little bit to defeat them.

Yes, I noticed that immediately.

I won't have any issue beating him. I gave it a couple tries already and chocked up my failure to fatigue. I'd been playing for 5 hours already by that point. I'll go in recharged tomorrow and best him in a few tries, by my estimation.

Defeated the Abyss Watchers on the first try, as expected. Got through to High Lord Wolnir and saved.

what do you think of the games music so far?

Also wolnir was such a pussy, easiest boss imo

Giant skeleton monster and was a total pushover. Only boss I was actually dissapointed by.

The music is great but I feel it's underused. There are times when no music is playing at all, though I'm sure this was intentional on From's part to add a sense of hollowness to the game world. But the boss fights are always extremely epic with the chants and choir.

this is pretty much exactly how I feel

It's one of the very few games where I actually think "man this music is awesome"

There's nothing more satisfying than two-hand wielding your sword, preparing your strong attack and methodically marching towards a boss with the awesome music playing in the background.

Pay the fire keeper like 20 billion souls

And as long as you can do a quick roll you're fine (below 70% I believe)

not sure what you said, but each game has a different version of hollowing so I assume it's about that

yes and you'll get a fuckton of souls
 Those don't do anything else

Actually pro tip you can sell them to the shopkeeper for the same price you get for consuming them and it's much faster

normally you have to consume them individually which takes forever

the merchant will just take them all at once
