@@foaduk9118 You're better off not knowing. In case you do want to know, Isekai is a genre of anime notorious for the amount of garbage that came from it. The genre is defined by a protagonist being sent to another world via death, rebirth, or teleportation/summoning. Almost all things bad about the weeb culture stem from Isekais in one way or another. The genre is known for excessive fan service (in some cases it's borderline porn), for having an invincible self-insert protagonist, for copy-pasted Lord of The Rings-styled fantasy worlds, and for long-ass titles that look like clickbait. I don't suggest you watch them, but if you want to get a better picture of what you're dealing with I suggest you look up Isekai titles.

[@elijahfyffe5176]

Here’s every non-spoiler gameplay detail you need to know: The top left numbers are your “humanity”. You gain it from killing enemies in an area that still has a living boss. This is often called “soft humanity” the humanity in your inventory that can be used are the equivalent to the rune arcs (and are sometimes called “hard humanity”) you consume them to heal and gain soft humanity. Soft humanity increases your defense for almost everything and increases drop chances. You can reclaim dropped soft humanity upon death in the same way as souls. At a bonfire, you can reverse hollowing. Which is basically the equivalent to the multiplayer aspect to rune arcs. This lets you summon, be summoned, invade other players, and be invaded. When your numbers are grey, you’re in “hollow” form when they’re white, you’re in “human” form. Invasions work differently than in ER, when you are in human form, you can get invaded. Sometimes by multiple attackers. Summoning doesn’t prevent or incur invasions. The soapstones are the multiplayer items. After a critical hit, (riposte, backstab, plunge attack) enemies will take a second to stand back up, during this time, they are invulnerable. Think of it like when you perform a critical, you are invincible in ER. Resistance only affects poison resistance. Do what you will with this info. In dark souls, every area functions similar to the legacy dungeons. Meaning sometimes you need to go back to them later. The bosses are based off the demon souls design. So, most bosses have a “gimmick” to take advantage of, or fight around. You already noted the ones for taurus demon, such as the small area and the plunge attack opportunity. If you’re having a hard time with a boss, you might be missing a major part of its details. Try looking around the arena beforehand. You can kick by pressing forward and attack at the same time. This basically shoves the enemy, this is good for shields and when they are on a ledge. You can do a leap forward by holding the roll button to sprint. Then, whilst sprinting, quickly tap the roll button again, this will cause you to jump forward and gain a bit of height. But, you will roll when you land. Instead of stakes of marika or extra bonfires/sites of grace. The game provides extra shortcuts to the boss arena from earlier bonfires. Many of these bonfires/shortcuts are hidden behind illusory walls.

[@demyx0067]

Well, you can still get trapped when you run around in the dungeons of Elden Ring. Speaking of dungeons, those usually have a Grace (or bonfire) at the start, and a statue of Marika before the boss room, so you don't have to run all the way through the dungeon again if you die to the boss. Several spots in the overworld that also has statues of Marika, far away from other Graces.

It is so interesting to see you play Dark souls 1 being that I have only played dark souls 1 and am currently working on dark souls 3, like the video. Thing in the top left count is humanity, you have soft and hard humanity. Soft is the humanity you have next to your health bar, hard humanity is the ones you have in your inventory. 1 humanity and pressing "reverse hollowing" turns you human and you can summon other players for bosses and also get invaded, also can kindle bonfires to give you more estus.

DS2 gives the player the most routes to take of the trilogy, so if you’re struggling, you can typically go somewhere else and come back.

It’s the full addition that corrected some of the enemy placement and contains all the DLC. Do note, it was based off DS1 and Demon’s Souls. So the bosses are easier but the enemies are harder.

Loved this - I also did Dark Souls Remastered after another souls game and found it equally as frustrating with the runbacks being soooo long. While it may be too early to give advice about Dark Souls 2, I still want to try to spare a new player some of the easily-avoidable pain - write these tips somewhere and forget em until they're needed, if you want! 1. Level the stat ADP early and often 2. Burn the windmill 3. If you defeat an enemy 12 times, it stops respawning. So you can fully EMPTY a boss runback with grinding. 4. Enemies will chase you FOREVER, so if they spot you, you have to defeat them. 5. Covenant of the Rock makes enemies stronger. 6. Sometimes the game basically requires you to use a bow. I hope none of that counts as spoilers, and I hope you still want to play DS2 after you've experienced DS1!

At dragon bridge where you descend the stairs there's a ladder to a previous bonfire. Also there's a bonfire underneath the dragon too. The number next to your health is Humanity. This stat is more like a special currency for reversing hollow (allowing online play) and increasing your total Estus flasks you recover from a specific bonfire when resting. 5 is Minimum 10 is Average 15 is Easy Mode 20 is Endgame To increase you must reverse hollowing then burn humanity at bonfire you wish to give more flasks.

Sid, you can jump in Dark souls, in main area you can jump on that building, search up youtube as there are items to pick up, and bird can take you back to Asylum for.. adventure.. Also on the left side of that building in main hub there is path down to skeletons. As for emotional harm DS1 is 3/10, DS3 can be 6/10.. Dark Souls 2 with DLC? 9,5/10. Upload more man it's amazing to watch you!

Thank you, I’m really glad you enjoy watching! I try to upload as much as I can but unfortunately I’m quite busy and don’t get a lot of time to record and edit, but I’ll work as fast as I can! I don’t like looking up guides because I like to play blind. By main area do you mean Firelink Shrine? I’ll need to explore it more!

[@GodKingIssei]

@@HeySidPlays Yes Sid, Firelink Shrine, you should explore it a lot, items and different ways to go to new areas if you are stuck in current. I'm looking forward to see your videos man, it's such amazing content!

"somewhere safe" is a relatively new concept in souls games. Hahaha

[@Vendetta9624]

“And now I have to run all the way back.” 🤣 Welcome to dark souls

[@raen3042]

I love watching people play dark souls for the first time

[@tylertownsend4074]

[@LaserTechNate]

You are not ready for ds2 executioner's Chariot runback.. absolute nightmare.
