Tomb of the Giants for the first time is just goddamned magical for how hosed it is to newcomers. That and looking out over Ash Lake for the first time is really breathtaking.

The first time I played Dark Souls I knew that you were supposed to run out, lure the Taurus Demon onto the bridge, and then run back up to the top of the tower you walked out of so you could do a plunging attack onto his head and kill him.

What I didn't know was that if you climbed the ladder, put resin on your sword, two-hand the weapon, and pause for a moment to appreciate how cool this is gonna fuckin be, the Taurus Demon will jump up on that tower and push your poo poo in

My favorite Dark Souls moment was when I stopped playing it and let my gay rear end friend have it because he has no life and has time to play bullshit video games for homos.

nah but for real I can see how the game is cool and loved but I just didn't have the time or willpower to invest in it, and also I was discouraged as gently caress after trying the Capra Demon

I beat dark souls, came back with a wizard to help my girlfriend beat it. Dark Souls 2 I stopped playing after awhile, but that seems to be a thing with souls games.

My favorite moment is coming back after a while of not playing dark souls, and then beating dark souls.

I love these games even if i'm hot trash at them. I want them released on PSNow so I can finally finish Demon Souls.

In the dark ages of the past, there lived a legend. A man of fire and steel, who purged the land of the weak and the magic users. Young folk will tell you he died a long time ago, but I say the legend never dies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyA8odjCzZ4

You know, its probably pretty boring but my favorite Dark Souls story came not from death but from how the game gave me perspective on just how far I had come as a player. My first time fighting Artorias I was offline due to being away from home, and came in weilding Queelag's Furysword, which did ~50 damage a swing, and wearing pyromancer rags. I got my poo poo pushed in so many times I forget the number. Second time around I think I was in Arty's own armour and using a BK sword, and ended up marveling at how much easier he was.

By the time I got to him on NG+2 it was ridiculous. I decided to play Sunbro for the first time and got picked up by a mage. The bossfight lasted all of maybe 2 minutes as Arty innefectually tried to stab me through his own shield as the mage leisurely pelted him with magic. I remember clearly that I was using the Abyss Greatsword and managing to pull off the style over substance flip attack, staggering Arty with it. That moment, when I landed a ridiculously stupid flashy move on a boss who had probably killed me more times than anything but Capra was when I realized it, this was my zenith. I was good at Dark Souls.

It probably was harder than I remember it, since the Mage was chugging Estus to keep me in the fight, butthat was the memory I was stuck with.

(:ssh: The next two hours or so I spent getting murdered by Bloathead Sorcerers:ssh:)

I was streaming a dark souls gimmick run where I was using nothing but fist weapons and I was having trouble with the anor londo archers, but I eventually got past them. I died a bit later inside the kinda chapel looking place only to revive back before the archers because I was a loving idiot and forgot to touch the bonfire. All to the amusement of a group of goons watching. My finest hour.

I watched that, and it was indeed hilarious.
