Killing Mildred first was a bit rough but I've got my +5 butcher knife (it's sooo slow compared to the ds3 version) and killed the gargoyles in four hits. Is my memory correct that the master key won't open the depths?

Also I forgot I never finished my gravelord sword run. stopped at 4 kings

I do this with Demons and Dark Souls, as well as Metal Gear Solid series at least once a year. I'd say I beat MGS over 75 times since released. I can get Big Boss rank in the original trilogy on Euro Extreme and the other hardest difficulties. Memorizing a game perfectly FTW

i can do all 3 of those games in 1 evening :coal:

it's cheating if you beat the souls games while the mgs cutscenes are playing though

Correct. You have to fight the Capra Demon to get into the Depths. Otherwise you can just do the Gargoyles, then skip Depths and Blighttown by rushing straight to Queelag.

It's funny because all my dex runs i destroyed them (got two kings once) but on my full Havel/zweihander run and my gravelord sword run I still can't kill them. I dont know why

Erm, you just kill them with your sword, dude. Not really that "obnoxious".

Edit: btw, get an av. You look like a huge noob as it is.

capra is a fun fight. it feels like a real struggle to the death because of the close quarters and how aggressive he is.

Spoilers for the op on a late game area its funny how much easier he is in the late game both because you've gotten better at the game up to that point and you have a giant field to work with and you realize how simple his pattern is without 2 dogs and 3 feet of space

Yeah cool op. Don't forget to get the Forlorn Wolf Coat from the Undead Menagerie by killing the ghosts with dark magic and also don't put any points into agility. Uhhh lets see here probably have a few thousand more tips for you to play this single player game that relies heavily on mystery, rofl. Dark Souls is awesome and remember, yes it's hard but actually it's p. Easy.

lmfao I just realized this is the making fun of Dork Souls thread and not the game shame thread. My apologies everyone.

I feel like you're probably experiencing the same thing that I experienced with each successive Souls series game (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne etc). I considered Demon's Souls to be one of the hardest games I had ever played at the time. By the time I got to Dark Souls 3, there were only a handful of boss fights that even killed me a single time.

idiot asshole bitch who should fuck off
i found dark souls 3 pretty challenging even after des/dks1/dks2, but there's definitely a lot of skill transfer between the games. my friend's been playing 3 without having played 2 and he's having a very hard time
