rise zeroGuts greatsword with the Lion's Claw AoW was my main weapon on the first playthrough. Killed every boss except Margit/Godrick with it.
I like the Pizza Cutter and the Nightrider Flail a lot too.
oh s*** i forgot about the pizza cutter

POOM POOM DOOMI was watching a RDC stream where Mark was using this Scythe weapon that shoots out this magic ring projectiles.
I need to find out where to get that.
The scythe you get from an area that has a bunch of steps leading down to little dungeons, looks like an army encampment and it's got dogs. The scythe is in one of those dungeons. The ring attack, an enemy next to Commander O'Neil has a chance of dropping
Don't even own the game, I've just been watching these boys play the game so much
Saw them get Bloodhound Step from Night's cavalry too

VlonelyHow can you do them all in one playthrough?
When you beat the game are you allowed to go back?
theyre quests throughout the game
and yes you can do that too

Been playing since the day before launch day (s/o gamestop for the physical hookup), its finally over:
You can chalk 20ish hours up to idle time n co-op play but its still a genuine round 200 of legit gameplay. All I did outside of work is play this, outside of the occasional family n friends. I never play over a hundred hours in a single game ever besides two other games in my life. It's wild.
Missing only three trophies for the plat which will be done eventually on ng+, but what a long amazing journey.
I waited 4 years for this game and it genuinely met & surpassed the hype.
S/o PS4 gang.

The capital sewers felt like a classic ds1 level with all the clausterphobic-ness of it n the hella interconnected n optional paths. I loved the Shaded Castle as an optional smaller area as well.
Mountaintops of the giants is top 3 for me of the open areas too. I also like Gemir, Altus, Caelid n Limgrave of the open areas; i just added them to my post.
Mar 25, 2022·1 replyGame still lit 🔥 I’m around level 45 now. At the moment I’m exploring Caelid. Ended up here just randomly. Freaky place, thought it’d be way above my skill but I’ve been making it through reasonably well. Currently in the Redmane Castle

If it does get too hard dont feel bad about leaving, the two bosses of Redman are really hard & usually its better off doing Redmane after the Academy (after Stormveil), or after a later area called Altus Plateau.

How would you rank FS games rn?

How would you rank FS games rn?
Imo:
Bloodborne = Elden Ring > DS3 > Sekiro > DS1 > DS2
Elden & Bloodborne are the ultimate games to me, "near perfect".
DS3 & Sekiro are extremely great.
DS1 is really good, but nowadays outdated & imo a bit overrated, but for the time it was genuinely amazing; its still good in general tho minus some of the jank.
DS2 is good & imo underrated, but it is to me "objectively" the worst one still out of the "soulsverse". Not bad nor terrible, but in comparison to its siblings it is def the weakest link. It still has a lot going for it & still has some unique cool mechanics. The only thing that brings it down is that it does have some of the worst bosses n level design to a degree, but also still has great bosses n areas too as well. Also its dlcs are amongst some of the best they have done imo & def beat DS1's DLC.
I have not played Demons Souls at all (remake nor OG) but i def plan to play the remake whenever I get a PS5.
DS1, DS2 & especially OG PS3 Demons are clunky tho and what I consider the old era, i would suggest playing those last if youre new to the whole or most of the series. Bloodborne (which began the modern era) to now is when the combat & movement became really tight & honed-in while also fixing a lot of hit box & glitch issues.
Bloodborne, Sekiro & now seemingly Elden Ring (would probably be DS1 before ER) seem to be the 3 that are most people in the Souls community fav #1.

Sure thing
I was initially at Stormveil but retreated to level up a bit and ended up in Caelid instead, which is definitely harder Still I’ve made progress and beat up a buncha dudes and leveled up to near 50. Going back to Stormveil now. There was a knight in a dark room there that whooped me initially so I left, but now I’m back to spank him. - Mar 25, 2022·editedWater Giver

Great ranking, it's pretty much the same for me except DS1 would switch with Sekiro. DS2 has some pretty amazing atmosphere and feels nostalgic to me but probably the most frustrating FS game ever
the level design and enemy placing is helli can't die without playing Bloodborne at least once

Mar 25, 2022Finally killed the Crucible Knight on Siofra Aqueduct, the one that drops the horned shield and know there’s f***in another one right there with the spear thing
F*** me
And I only killed the first one cause I got lucky and he flew off the edge and killed himself lmao
