Iron Keep. Taking out some of the captains/archers on the upper platforms with soul arrow while blocking their shots with my tower shield
This is a Dark Souls thread. Shithouls 2 fanboys can go suck on a muffler.
Don't be rude. Can't we all just get along for once?
when i finally got a fool w/ a bridge flip in tomb.
invading in tomb in general was so much fun.
getting btfo by the boulder from sen's fortress
Beating taurus demon for the first time, before that i genuinely believed these games were as hard as they said, killed him and i was like, oh, this isnt that fricking bad lol
After wandering for days I ended up finding Andre. Got stuck in the forest for a while. Found the Black Knight. Found the hole that leads to the Dragon Bridge. Pushed my way into Blighttown. Got stuck. Found the key. Retreated. Ended up in New Londo. Couldn't figure that out. Went up the stairs and realized I was beneath Firelink Shrine the whole time.

Fighting O+S with the friend who turned me onto the game. He didn't help me with anything up to that point.
>any of the games
Invading as a spear of the church. Sleepy princess is love. Sleepy princess is life.

>finally see what the hype is about

Finding that ladder shortcut from the bridge with the wyvern to the bonfire in undead burg. I was so used to games having nonsensical level designs that being able to connect those two areas so seamlessly blew my mind.

Probably my biggest disappointment with all the sequels. I might've been able to overlook some of the other shortcomings if they'd been able to replicate DS's immaculately interconnected world. Instead we got more shitty hallways with occasional branches to optional items/bosses.
Going from an interconnected castle town in the first game to a lava lake underneath a poisoned windmill in the sequel really was jarring.
But the entire realm of Lordran taking place inside a giant tree wasn't? It's a magical land that obviously doesn't exist on the same plane of existence as we do. Suspend your disbelief a little.
Yes, because when you go up the trunk, you merely reach another level of the same tree. The levels had some internal consistency to them. Meanwhile, ascending the windmill that has a definitive top to it way before it's roof meets the sky somehow lands you in an entirely different dimension of hell fire. Honestly, it would have made more sense if the Old King's keep was underground, and you were descending the windmill which only served as the top of a really tall, buried tower.
Giving humanity to my Fair Lady, of course.

why live?
Beating the Last Giant and laughing so hard that people called this franchise hard for so long m
When I did quit it and played something good
Honestly my first playthrough's kind of a blur, it was a very long time ago. Maybe beating Stray Demon? He gave me serious issues. My overall favorite memory is playing DaS while my friend was over and parrying an enemy while I was looking at his face to say something, he was utterly shocked, still makes me smile.
The first thing I remember seeing that really bowled me over was the Gaping Dragon. I had no idea what to expect in that boss arena, and the intro cutscene bait and switch got me good.
i think killing a boss in a roof. it was like a gargoyle or two.
i was listening to untitled unmastered by kdot
good times
didn’t really even get 30% through with the game i’m sure
i’m planning on doing a proper playthrough soon
Dark Souls is such a perfect game for putting your own soundtrack on. The game is inseparable from a handful of jazz fusion and prog rock records in my mind because of the music I listened to while I played it.
You're either a homosexual or a Black person if you play music while playing games.
the whole Undead burg/parish
it made me immediately fall in love with the game
Me and my friends all started at the same day playing while in xbox live chat.
And we all went different ways. The most favorite memory? One of my friends some how got to the poison swamp, and and beat the fricking spider b***h. And the entire time we thought he was bullshitting.n4
Seeing that Artorias was just as cool in the game as he was on the pictures I saw of him that made me wanna play the game
Every single second between Sen's Fortress ans AMAZING CHEST AHEAD
Beating Artorias I guess. First boss of the game that needs you to dodge roll. Felt like such a pro beating him.
shitting my pants in Blighttown.
Rising up from Blighttown back to Firelink. That whole journey from the Burg to the Depths and finally Blighttown has to be the longest stretch you're lost in the world in any game in this series. The release you feel when it's finally over is amazing.
yup. Elden Ring has zero moments like this because Torrent and the spacious level design make sure you're barely in danger most of the time. I miss the times where the levels themselves were a boss fight.
I guess you never did the sewers huh
the severs had a small flash of this, yes. but they're really small and were a fraction of the entire game.
Ah yes, that one small 1000x1000ft area on a map that is comically massive and full of boring ass repeating prefab dungeons.
Mostly buying into the "Dark souls is soooooo hard hype" which caused me to play the game in a bogus order.
After the opening prison, I went through the Catacombs and down to Nito only to be rejected at the doorway since I hadn't killed O&S. I had to work my way back to Firelink without bonfire warp.
Then after killing Tauras Demon, I had already bought a transient curse from the vendor in the sewer tunnels. I went to New Londo Ruins and killed a few ghosts which dropped a ghost dagger. Thinking this was normal, I proceeded to carve my way to the end of NLR only to realize there was nothing waiting for me. Went back to Firelink again without warp.
I eventually dicovered the blacksmith.
Frick me I'm stubborn. Could have saved myself soo much headache.
I killed Ceaseless Discharge by tickling him to death as well. Pretty much every bad decision you could make as new player, I did it thinking it was all normal.
