Ah, I’ll never get over how confusing and fascinating the chalice dungeons were at first. It only added to the feeling that they were something you weren’t supposed to see. An ancient, decaying ecosystem of other-worldly eldritch abominations, eternally locked away and left to their own devices. You can practically smell the mildew on the walls in Isz.

When I was playing through Bloodborne and the DLC, I was mentally preparing for the moment I'd face Orphan of Kos because of how hard everyone was saying it was. I walked into the arena and beat it on my first try. I have to think RNG was REALLY in my favor on that one because I know I don't suck but to beat what is considered one of the hardest bosses in all of SoulsBourne in the first go is an odd occurrence

@@lewispooper3138 I know it's a bold thing to say. I found the clip where I killed him that my PS5 created but it's only the last part where I dealt the final blow and doesn't prove it was my first go. I regret not recording it but I also had 0 idea I'd be able to do it in my first go.

[@FrigidOven]

A similar thing happened to me, I got him on the second try and had no clue what was going on during his final phase but somehow, I got through it. 99% sure it would be a different story if I went through it again. Malenia though? An 8 hour ordeal.
