On my second ever playthrough of the DLC, I managed to beat Artorias first try!

(The first playthrough took like 11 tries)

But I’m just sitting here laughing because I just rewatched Asmondgold’s playthrough of the DS DLC and he took like…. 4 hours of straight tries to beat him LOL. Not that he’s like the elite gamer but I just thought like wow I just did that same thing first try haha it didn’t feel like a lucky first try either. Like I was just ON MY GAME that one.

Makes me feel good as a gamer lol

Anyways just wanted to share. Artorias is GOATED!

How do YOU say their names? Is it "Orn-STEEN & SmOH" (elognated E sound and elongated O sound) or is it "Orn-STINE & SmAU" (elongated I sound and ow sound)? I read it as the second option.

First off, I have nothing against invaders in general.

If you are lucky enough to come to my world, congratz, you get a free kill, because I am on my first run, and don't know what I'm doing, but I will enjoy flailing around.

But please don't be like the last guy that stood in front of my blacksmith (boney guy), and tried to bait me into hitting him.

Idk if that dude is important, and he still has lore for me to uncover, so we are not fighting, you are holding me hostage, and the best you are going to get is that I restart the game.

Thanks for reading

Hey guys, I wanted to share this achievement with you! It took less time than I expected—I didn't even realize I could get through a New Game (NG) run so quickly, haha! I also got pretty lucky with weapon drops, so that didn't take long either. By the way, I absolutely hated the Bed of Chaos, but it was all worth it—finally got the Dark Souls platinum!

So I'm about to start a seamless coop run with a friend new to dark souls and wanted to ask ahead of time about certain details of how Seamless Coop functions. I would really appreciate your help as I couldnt find these details elsewhere

I heard the Lautrec event tends to bug out (a running issue for pseudo-pvp events, even in DS3). Does this happen every time? Will doing it solo in our own worlds avoid the issue?

Even more importantly, how are item drops shared in the world? Both in terms of items we get placed in our inventory through boss kills and pick ups from dropped items, corpses and chests? Are these shared, do people see their own item to pick or does it only go to the person who picked it up? Can the other person still find the item in their own world if they leave the hosts world?

Can non-hosts interact with NPCs and shop keepers? How does buying limited items impact the host and will it reflect in the nonhosts version of the NPC too?

Many Dark Souls players deeply love and respect Quelana, the daughter of the Witch of Izalith who resides in the swamps of Blighttown. However, I have a very different perspective on her character. I think Quelana is actually a massive coward. Instead of running away, if she had actually gotten off her ass and taken action, she might have been able to save her family or at least improve their tragic situation.

When you explore Lost Izalith, it becomes obvious that all hope was not lost. Her brother, Ceaseless Discharge, is still there guarding the area. We know he retains a minimum of his former sanity because he does not attack the player in the game until we disturb the corpse of his deceased sister. Furthermore, there is another Daughter of Chaos standing right outside the Bed of Chaos boss arena who is entirely human and unaffected by the demonic transformation.

Quelana could have returned to Lost Izalith. Imagine if she had reunited with her remaining human sister. Together, they might have found a way to harness the immense energy of Ceaseless Discharge or work out a method to alleviate the terrible suffering of the ones she loved. She had the knowledge and the power to try, but she chose to hide.

I know that she eventually returns to make contact with the Fair Lady, as we discover in Dark Souls 3, but by that point it is simply too late. The reunion only ends in tragedy, as we find both of them dead together. It makes me feel that her centuries of inaction doomed her family. What do you guys think?

I mean not in gameplay, but in lore, design or personal story with the boss.
For me its firesage because in my enemy and item randomizer, he first took the place of Taurus demon, after I beat him there, he took the place of the hydra in darkroot basin. I made it my head canon that he wanted to lay a trap there for me, which I have beaten. The third time and the farthest I came in the randomizer is him being litteraly Ornstein with Sif. My head canon here is, that he took his loyal dog Sith (Sif is cool, Sith on the contary has formed a bond with my arch nemesis) and was like „we are doing our most glorious battle here, in the cathedral of Anor Londo“ and thats where I am stuck as of now. But does someone have a similar story to that?

Sorry it took so long! As soon as i finished i wanted to draw it from a different angle. Hope yall like it

I already got a Balder Side Sword too, I’ve never been this lucky in a run. If someone wants the other Painting Guardian Sword lmk I dont need two (Xbox)

Encountered this Vagrant while playing DSR on the Switch. I played before on Xbox, and this version seems to use the old Xbox 360-era graphics and textures.

So my question; is this guy actually gold? All the vagrants I have encountered before (which is a fair few) have been white/grey or red.
