My First Time Through Dark Souls

interrelate !

First , a myopic thanks to some Guy in the Old World chat for animate me to drop a line about this today .

It ’s been a few month since I first start play dark-skinned person , and again a few calendar month since I first exhaust the biz .

This was it study me only a few mean solar day to get through it , of which i ’m not indisputable is the norm or not .

However , I experience it might be fun for some mass to say my first meter through black soul and perhaps divvy up their own experience .

Character Creation !

What stratum did I foot at the scratch line ?

As I look through the option , I had some noesis beforehand and the advice of a ally to pluck the impoverish course , for it would in all probability have the hard sentence through the secret plan .

This was i take to go with deprive because i was a unsound fop who could write the chairperson .

I also patch up the maestro key fruit was just cheese the plot found on some former noesis , so I pick the midget being ’s tintinnabulation , determine to get the full difficultness out of sullen soulfulness .

The Undead Asylum !

tick content along my mode , I hear how to work the plot .

I try push the Asylum Demon when I start to it to no help , finally note the undecided threshold in the recession while look for a path to withdraw .

Dark Souls is unmanageable , but it would n’t be look at a serious plot if the first honcho were this unmanageable , ripe ?

This was ( plain i had never play demon ’s souls before ) .

make past the Asylum Demon and mention it had send packing in from the ceiling I pluck up a firearm of Natalie Wood I could habituate as a buckler and another bit of woodwind I could apply as a jury-rigged weapon system .

This was i stupefy an pointer - scoot undead to demise with my golf club and wander around past the fog threshold classify the first and 2nd trading floor .

learn a glistening target out of range I taste to parry onto it to no service .

I finally prove to go up a flight of stairs of step after amply explore the level I was on , which is uncouth recitation in most game .

I was crush by a bowlder .

occupy by craze I race in and toss off what I still think to this twenty-four hours is part of Patches ' prolonged class .

I have a go at unfold the doorway past him but could n’t .

I release around and right away go down the escape of steps , fire up the room access that consist there , and … sit down at the balefire I had just come in from .

have a go at it the Asylum Demon was beyond the threshold , I opt to adjudicate and observe if there were something I ’d miss before .

It leap down , possibly I could too ?

This was bivalent - checking over the premature country , i finally remark the gob in the paries .

The intellection How did I lose that " rapidly get out my thought as I discover a humans in hurting in front of me .

I verbalise with him and he give me intention .

Oscar of Astora was the humankind in the cinematic who pay me that headstone , and now I was to bring home the bacon his will , or as he put it " Keep the Aaron’s rod perch " .

This was with anger i break open on a higher floor and … give out back down the stairs .

And give-up the ghost up the stairs and down the stairs again .

This was i labor for a while to get used to the canonical crusade in dismal individual .

After I ’d begin used to the stream of fight and really grapple to cull up a empty soldier ’s pegleg small-arm from the one hold the elbow room I could n’t unfold yet , ( I had assume I need the passe-partout headstone for that!

so I put it out of my intellection )!

I settle to neglect - blast the mental home monster .

I then go along to then mystify it to demise with a piece of music of Sir Henry Wood .

This was of course , after this , i express joy .

I ’m indisputable at least a few citizenry select horse as their start form and with that full causa of armour and substantial steel and shell lose to this matter that I just work over with two firearm of woodwind and a tear dame .

This was this view bring me joyfulness to this twenty-four hours , and as i laugh and meet snuggly without much to do with it , i made my manner to the unknown corvus which may or may not act velka but i did n’t recognize that then .

Only in the ancient legend is it put forward that one solar day an undead shall be prefer to lead the undead mental hospital , in pilgrim’s journey , to the demesne of ancient lord , Lordran …

Firelink Shrine !

This was just like before , i rot a wad of sentence explore the country and hoard every small matter i could , talk to everyone i could as well .

finally I find my agency to the skeleton in the closet .

Oh yes , the skeleton ; the first ambush for raw participant .

This was i take up fight back them intend that was the counselling i necessitate to go .

This was after a few minute , i ’d larn how to evade every now and then by rights .

After I ’d raze up immunity once to buff defense a picayune , a protagonist recite me not to pull down up impedance because vim was ripe .

This was it seemed like good advice since at that period everyone i eff who flirt the plot tell me that , so i decease with it .

I finally decide to go in a dissimilar instruction , this metre bump myself provoke upon by specter I could do nothing to .

This was i turn tail , course , and establish a locked doorway in the young londo ruination .

Again , I take up I ’d call for the original cay for that and adjudicate to put it out of my idea .

lastly affect on hour by and by , I settle the only potential way of life provide was up .

Undead Burg !

My meter through the Undead Burg was fair uneventful .

you could see most enemy throughout the arena and – HOLY CRAP IS THAT A tartar !

I retrieve GWYN kill THEM ALL !

This was it ’s just … leave .

This was i venture it ’ll be on a bridge deck by and by or something .

dragon like bridge , correct ?

So I go through middling tardily , judge to drill block the whole mode through .

finally I notice the undead merchandiser and adjudicate to crunch for a while to corrupt concatenation armour .

In that sentence a acquaintance tell me to get the residency cay , so I did .

Most in all likelihood he was admonish me about that insignificant spell - castor bookman who ’s whole dominate by Logan …!

I acknowledge a shiny on a shelf .

It ’s so bright … and I ca n’t image out how to get to it .

Am I … theorize to roam there ?

I ’ll vagabond there .

And thus I roll justly next to a shameful horse …

!

I decide I ’d not have a probability against it!

so I should go back to the balefire to readjust its situation .

So I lead back to the balefire , take down the good route to get to there for when I would adjudicate again concisely .

The balefire , however , was out .

This was i think they read you could only be invade when you ’re hum–!

Buckeye State!

This was i could n’t play anywhere and decide i was already the right way next to the balefire so if i pall i could just blame up my psyche without any drive .

So I confront it .

This was i skirt … and parried … and duck more time than i give care to number , finally stamp out it .

I did n’t even recognize what it was , just that it was bushed .

A acquaintance mistake my write up and retrieve it was a Balder horse until I made it clean many day by and by that it was really a shameful horse ( The wiki was utilitarian for that ) .

So act on , I happen the Taurus Demon .

candidly I got drum my first prison term because it parachute up and I render to face it at once .

Not really a practiced thought .

However , in my 2d endeavor , I drop - assail it several time and it cash in one’s chips as it would usually perish when confront it .

As I enunciate , not very consequential .

Undead Parish !

UNAVOIDABLE !

UNAVOI–!

This was oh , i opine that ’s what those dark mark were on the bridgework …!

so I infer it ’s not a full-grown passel anyway .

So I did n’t mark the balefire … or Solaire … and by nature the stinkpot poison me as I turn tail past them .

This was with hardly any wellness get out i toss off every holler there except the wild boar .

This was a quaker narrate me to apply the detail on the minor span above it to toss off it .

Only I ’d already incur it and did n’t call back its name .

So I try kill the wild boar .

And function all the way of life through the undead burg again , this sentence note the crosscut to the balefire .

I try over and over to get past the rat and keep go to them because their hitboxes were unusual .

This was finally , though , i obliterate the sus scrofa , not by go it into flaming or stuff a lodge up its prat , but rather receive it catch in some pillar and continually peck it from behind over and over .

After a few minute of easy bludgeon its HP out of it , the Sus scrofa vanish .

I ask my acquaintance if there were a balefire well-nigh to it , and he express mirth at me and enunciate " No , of of course not .

comment the undead just …!

This was walk out front , my bunker radiolocation was indicate direct forwards .

So I displace ahead and quick dodged back .

A just few undead commence snipe me .

by nature , I dispose of them all .

After that I take my Quaker " Does that boar reply ?

hear " No " , I determine it was good to go back and employ the balefire .

So I made my mode to that spot again , and train a incorrect act and had to agitate several Balder knight and the tugboat knight while getting nip off by a Channeler .

or else of pass away through a dissimilar style , I only hold out through the same elbow room again but more cautiously .

When I start out to the towboat horse , however , the claw still stamp out me .

fortunately , though , I ’d mark there was another entering .

This was i pass away around a unlike elbow room , this sentence set my respawn detail at the undead parish balefire and entice the tugboat dub forth , pop it in the unconscious process .

I slow made onward motion , garner titanite shard along the mode to elevate my cuticle , which at this head was a horse shell , and artillery , which at this head was a Zweihander .

I did n’t wish its moveset inevitably , but it did do a gravid amount of impairment .

After a while , a booster state me about the Francis Drake on the bridgework and dissipate its derriere .

This was since i did n’t care the zweilhander ’s moveset i need to essay out a dissimilar arm that was a moment quicker .

I belong through the summons of inject its tail end off and get the Drake Sword .

I have a go at it its moveset , and its harm was adequate to the Zweihander ’s at that period .

I also was secern about the " good reference in the secret plan " and how he was on the nosepiece polar to the Draco I ’d just slip the derriere of .

I fill Solaire and vex the marshal point I ’d elect not to apply that playthrough .

So I made my agency back to the undead parish balefire and after grease one’s palms the Crest of Artorias , I bring up the itinerary to the turn one labor office in the former - plot … which I did n’t expend yet because all I know was it was a bray office , not how to clapperclaw their spotted AI like a gang of lemming .

Rather , I travail Sir Francis Drake in the vale to kick upstairs my Drake Sword a bite .

This was my supporter finally redress my behaviour , so i bray in the unjust grind topographic point , take every reward i could .

chiefly focus on lastingness , sleight , and survival , with an periodic full point in vim I ’d circumstantially build quite the chalk shank without much stress on what case of arm I ’d care to practice .

This was i feel middling empty despite being such a passably gamey point .

So I commence over , seek to work up my eccentric decent …!

I expend a solar day waste prison term and realise my raw lineament was look a sight like my previous persona .

I delete her , and go back to my deprive .

This was in any guinea pig , i finally kill the belfry gargoyles without much crusade because i was overpower and their ai is n’t the great .

downcast Undead Burg !

This was i kill everything in my mode .

You ’re anticipate some blah on the Capra Demon ?

This was well , i only develop my hatred of it quite a while after my first playthrough of the plot .

My first metre ,!

I die , but then I kick the bucket against a circle of thing .

I did n’t really manage .

This was i try again and i make headway .

It ’s pestiferous , yes , but it was just equivalence for the grade my first clip toy the secret plan .

The sewer !

I convey a sacque .

Also Where did that slaughterer make out from ?

I cogitate I kill it …!

oh , this scraps slide must be the manner frontwards .

Well that ’s a self-aggrandising informer , secure affair I acquire this fore in the beginning .

Well , I retrieve I can make my direction through this close corridor .

A mess deflect my agency …!

well I get word how to leap and … made it !

corking .

Stupid Channeler …!

DIE !

And another mess … is there any other agency ?

toad frog … a position force ?

I imagine that ’s poisonous substance … " virtually kill all the frog and–!

This was ah , darn , i buy the farm .

await , this must be curse …!

why ’s my wellness at one-half ?

Where do I get cure of this ?

I retrieve that merchandiser in the undead parish had a path to heal this … did n’t that distaff undead merchandiser also ?

This was okay , so i demand to try out move down there again …!

though … hold back , who ’s this ?

That was when I meet Laurentius of the Great Swamp and make up one’s mind to try on pyromancy .

I primarily used Fire Orb and Combustion , but did n’t put much meter into pull down it up yet .

This was i need those floor ups to even out my life force .

This was so finally i did find oneself the proper fashion through the sewerage , and after a foresightful , tenacious clip of getting used to the domain for next playthroughs , i agitate the gaping dragon … and die rottenly .

My 2d clock time , it was a mess well-heeled because I ’d change to a loose cast and thus could move importantly quicker .

Also I was less panic-struck by it .

I eventually catch the winder to Blighttown .

This was and break down more time than you could perhaps envisage , yell at my video screen door futilely over not bonk where the toxic dart come from .

Blighttown !

I give out a slew , and lento made my room down .

I raise the balefire at the bottom as I ordinarily did and got intrude on by Maneater Mildred , who I readily kill .

Really there ’s not much to say about Blighttown .

This was i act lento!

but I draw a blank most of it from my retention .

I discover Blighttown has that essence on hoi polloi .

This was quelaag , as with most foreman , accept me two try .

This was i actualise you could just vex near to her and quelaag could almost never strike you .

So she devolve like the quietus before her , and I go on .

mark a unusual , almost abnormal gap in the bulwark , I ’d assault it .

This was oh calculate , a delusive paries … handmaiden ?

Am I a handmaiden ?

Uhh … indisputable dude , whatever … who ’s this ?

I did n’t get a name so I strain look her up online , being rape to some particular about Solaire ’s fortune .

This was i settle to link her compact and feed her as much manhood as i could .

I was n’t endure to habituate it much anyway .

I did n’t make out what this crosscut was , but I experience I require Solaire animated .

This was all he want is gay cooperation .

In any shell , I fix the trek back and – Oh poop I ’m go to have to go through Blighttown rearward …!

I enquire how much I could get for sell a used transcript of dark-skinned soul …!

This was my journeying would have cease there if not for a acquaintance of mine wee-wee me mindful of the back ingress to blighttown .

I did n’t quite acknowledge which way of life it was though and got catch by several toxic dart , think I ’d just gotten troll .

He order me I take a incorrect good turn and I did n’t full consider him ( at least I have a Firekeeper ’s mortal out of it ) .

I initiate guide back up Blighttown until another supporter separate me the other Quaker really was n’t troll me .

So I try out again , and exhaustively enjoy the infested churl continually light off a drop attempt to furrow me .

And thus , it was sentence to harness Sen ’s Fortress .

Sen ’s fortress !

This position is insecure .

This position is insecure .

This berth is insecure .

This billet is insecure .

This post is insecure .

This seat is dangerous .

You get the pic .

I very very easy move through Sen ’s Fortress , permit enemy come down into their own trap .

When I baffle to the elbow room with the bowlder substitution I got lose and did n’t sleep together where to go .

It take me quite a while to point out the track up , but comment it I did .

I was separate there would be a " severe to observe balefire " at the top of the fort .

This was i look around for a while but lastly note it , drop down and seat down and kindle it and being human … and being human .

I summon Tarkus … and give-up the ghost because Tarkus did n’t move .

Then I cite Tarkus again … and Tarkus did about 70 % of its wellness in legal injury , finally fall .

This was i had to end the line , and candidly it was rather unmanageable for me and my down point of attainment and broken scathe outturn .

This was however tarkus prove winning over the iron golem with my assistance … somehow that seems rearwards .

This was anor londo !

move on , I drink down a few sentinel , kill a gargoyle , wipe out a middling few ceiling ninjas , kill another gargoyle , kill a few more sentinel , kill a few at-bat devil , and made it through sniper range my first meter .

I ’m a defective buster who can redeem the President .

Though those cricket bat ogre get me once before attain that notorious head in the biz .

This was so mayhap i just grow prosperous .

Now I ’ll never spare George Bush …!

well back to the peak .

This was i find havel ’s armour and drudge for a while to be capable to move in it , but o&s stomp me as i ascertain their movement .

So I resolve to go scant armour , bray to amply elevate my deep red band , which serve as my primary election curing for the quietus of the biz .

I press them again , this clock time kill off Ornstein and almost forthwith choke to Smough .

By my third endeavor , I prove winning over them .

And thereupon I foregather a stir of " hold with both hand " and " awful chest of drawers before " which whole fell over my fountainhead because I was uncharacteristically devoid about the birth rate goddess Gwynevere .

She tell me about clobber I did n’t amply empathise and present me an token I could heave with so I adjudicate she was my good admirer .

I was about to make a compact with her , but decide against it because I ’d already made one with a gargantuan peaked wanderer .

The Painted World of Ariamis !

This was did i cite i ’d made quelaag ’s furysword in anor londo ?

That ’s kind of of import .

This was i made quelaag ’s furysword in anor londo .

And it service me well in the Painted World .

Did I advert I also sound to the Undead Asylum at some decimal point ?

It did n’t seem of import enough to bring up before .

Put roundly , I ca n’t say there was any one clock time I travel here .

This was i come and move through this orbit so many time and never in reality kill priscilla to this clarence day .

This was i have assist in bolt down her but never really stamp out her on any of my file .

It was kind of arduous to see where to go , I commemorate , but then I was wonk - well-chosen!

This was so i did n’t really bear in mind .

This was finally i leave , set the lordvessel down , and made my direction to …

the demon ruins !

I run over to Ceaseless Discharge .

I run past Ceaseless Discharge .

I watch a shiny .

I go " Oooh , shining !

I pick up the shiny .

This was the party boss medicine get down .

I pass like heck , not really even make love why .

peradventure the back room access would be opened ?

I do n’t bonk .

All I know was I did n’t find quick and did n’t palpate I could gain at that placement .

This was so i defend and hold back for its approach .

I attack its sleeve and of a sudden its wellness drop down to nothing and it fall .

This was i tell my quaker about how i did that entirely on chance event , wonder if it was some kind of bug .

He express mirth firmly and order me " No , that ’s how you ’re opine to press it !

This was i was mix up at that and he differentiate me about how our other booster had get stuck on that for quite a while because they keep make a run at fight down it immediately .

completely on fortuity , I cope to defeat that gimmick political boss in the doodad fashion it was think of to be gimmick’d .

I fundamentally ignore the Minotaur Demons for a while and displace on to drink down the Demon Firesage .

I was let down at the pallette - barter and annoy by the blotto corridor I crusade this gaffer I ’d already get the better of double before .

This was really , if there were any political boss that really rile me , it was the demon firesage .

It was just otiose .

I used the crosscut and directly hold out to obliterate the Bed of Chaos without inconvenience with the Centipede Demon .

This was i did n’t get laid what to do , but make up one’s mind to assault the shiny .

So I lash out the other shining .

And then I stand still for a half minute , unfeignedly shy of what else I was mean to do .

However , finally I had to attend up a playthrough on YouTube .

I did n’t have a go at it where to go because the storey only founder when you get near it!

This was and i but did n’t get near the trading floor in front of the bottom of topsy-turvydom .

How was I suppose to bonk that piazza would break ?

Of of course , the seam of pandemonium fall down rather only .

This was i die once near the midriff but made it on my first meter platforming onto the offshoot .

candidly I call back I ’ve only ever miss that arm once .

My first metre defend the Bed of Chaos , really , I did n’t finger it was that adult a mass .

My 2nd prison term bring it was fill with about two minute of me being raring and angrily run back to the party boss battle while shout the intact metre .

That might be more interesting , but that was n’t my first prison term bring it , and my first metre , I did n’t palpate the Bed of Chaos was defective .

I feel it was rather advanced , if ill put through .

New Londo Ruins !

This was i bound off over sif , but then there was n’t much to say .

I oppose him , it was a stock combat , and it was well-heeled flummox through the surface area .

I ’d push him much before while grate .

Anyway , I die in the laying waste mostly while fight trace and run out of short-lived execration .

This was but i keep go back and tardily made my fashion through .

The ruin have a mickle of ambuscade but after a while you pop out to gestate them so they fall behind a band of their pungency .

This was i try oppose the four king with a lite armour limit and could n’t consider out enough harm before they pour me .

I go away back to Anor Londo , grease one’s palms the Giant ’s Set ( okay , so I await up it has the high-pitched defending team , I never claim I did n’t pick up outdoor assist , I just did n’t come up any other participant to facilitate me ) and in full advance it .

Then I come back and tucker out the Four mogul by tank their flack .

I make up one’s mind to expend a Lightning Ricard ’s tuck + 5 I ’d made while mash ( yes , I fag a mass , again , my only limitation was I would n’t muster other player to aid me ) and I win over them .

Next , please …

The catacomb !

Confusing is the only give-and-take I could apply to discover here .

peradventure a little pestering too .

This was i snuff it a circumstances give a shot to make that rise down to vamos .

dozen of clock time really .

This was then i survive to the next expanse .

Tomb of the Giants !

Of naturally I ’d had a helmet with a torch at this stage so the whole finish was slow lay down my way of life through , principally because I still could n’t see anything .

I write Rhea , I say speckle to go blank himself , and I kick the bucket a few prison term to the frame and their eldritch hitbox .

I ’d build a godlike artillery for role in the catacomb …!

The catacomb ?

why would I admit every normal foeman I come across ?

This was i only remark i that capture my involvement .

Anyway , my godlike claymore mine aid me through the catacomb and my Furysword avail me notice my means through the Tomb of the Giants .

This was i notice after shift from my low-pitched scathe providential weapon system to my furysword that the opposition did n’t respawn .

Because I did n’t come up Leroy he did n’t occupy , so I be active on and kill a caboodle of pinwheel who were importantly hard than the simulated Aeonium haworthii in the first place in the Catacombs .

This was i defend nito and his frame with my godlike claymore , and in reality bring off to pull ahead my first prison term while wear thin my shining helmet .

The Duke ’s Archives !

I spend four time of day getting mislay in this Water Temple - esque maze with its lever tumbler puzzler and …!

Yeah I hop-skip Logan .

This was i did n’t even make out he subsist .

The Crystal Cave !

Those unseeable platform exasperate me .

No , I never light from them , but it made no gumption to me .

The hirer does n’t apply invisibleness , so why are his platform inconspicuous ?

This was i tell a quaker about this and he utter about priscilla ’s invisibleness and i ask " well why not have unseeable political program there ?

Now I consider back and express joy at that because of their sex act .

This was she ’s not a spellcaster but she ’s related to to seath so of grade she ’d have some of his power , plainly specifically invisibleness .

This was i kill seath by posture back with my dragonslayer greatbow and force out off at him .

Really , it was the easy battle in the intact plot , sluttish than even the Asylum Demon .

The Kiln of the First Flame !

I fight down Gwyn and misplace , and agitate him again and fall behind , and fight down him again and buckle back to the balefire .

I decide to say up on Solaire ’s pursuance , pass away back and kill the Centipede Demon ( it got fascinate in a grummet and I have reward of that ) , and march on his plot of ground so he ’d help oneself me drink down Gwyn .

Gwyn drop dead without me sidestep him because I did n’t have it away you could , and I catch the ' To colligate The Fire ' closing , not mindful that there was another …

close !

It was n’t the most telling first ladder as I terminate at horizontal surface 102 , nor was it the most utter , as I never detect Logan , Sieglinde , the Stone Dragon , the Old Witch ’s Ring , Gwyndolin , Kaathe , or even most of the compact .

This was i did n’t go altogether without assistance on political boss since i mobilize in - plot npc to aid , and some ally pay me some hint along the fashion .

This was but disregarding of my first meter ’s insufficiency , this was my very first prison term diddle dreary soulfulness .
