Going into Dark Souls with no knowledge, the game can seem extremely daunting. It's where it basically got its reputation from: Everyone who went into playing Dark Souls at its release were totally blind to all its quirks and idiosyncrasies. Dark Souls before and after playing it once or twice is a totally different ballgame. Once you know what you're doing, when you know where all the good items are and how to make a proper build and how to parry, the game becomes extremely trivial. You'll go entire playthroughs having only died once or twice from a stupid mistake and falling into the odd bottomless pit. Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 corrected this a fair bit just by virtue of making the game *a lot* faster.

Get your vigor stat up, it really helps.

[@TheMeTreeHouse]

@@paulius369 honestly it was my first go of any dark souls and I picked naked guy and tried to play as an archer...it was bad. I'm doing substantially better

[@NotOki1]

@@TheMeTreeHouse found why you gave up

[@shinysnivy6604]

@@TheMeTreeHouse Archer is not a build, bows exist only for you to pull enemies(except the crosbow you get from the final boss of the dlc, that thing can do actual damage with good arrows) and you never need to do that in ds 3( ds 2 had a couple places where they were useful, mainly the first dlc). The deprived is actually not a bad starting class since they have equal stat destribution for everything(although they aren't good for new players because of the bad starting equipment and they are outclassed by the knight and pyromancers since they don't waste points in luck)

[@TheMeTreeHouse]

@@shinysnivy6604 it wasn't just the build, I managed to get to the swamp but only after accidentally killing like 4 NPC's cuz they startled me including onion man who was my friend in my second run. I really only leveled Dex so I could shoot that dragon at the beginning. But by the time I got to the swamp it was such a grind, not to mention it's a hot spot for invasions, that I said fuck this game. I'm currently lv 100 something, and me and my handaxe I started with have killed everything, except for the giant boss cuz I didn't have the patience to hit him 5000 times. He is dead tho, I murdered him, with some sort of magic my character doesn't understand cuz he's a barbarian. It was a confusing time for him.

[@chancerasmussen4356]

I legit had no idea you could summon sif. I solo’d Manus every time

[@RGLG4life]

im sure you're aware but doing the dlc with heavy armor and high strength is probably the easiest way to go, at least as far as i know. also great to have you back!

[@luhsvideodump1300]

To be fair, heavy armor and STR is the easiest way to go about the whole game, not just the DLC lol.

[@kubaGR8]

An INT sorcery build is also really easy. Crystal Soul Spears nuke everything in 4-5 blasts.

[@okho2483]

i love how can become lord of darkness after a person who loves sun helps you kill final boss

[@sidekic1109]

What

[@lucasthelegolas8682]

@@sidekic1109 "The person who loves sun " is referring to solaire, and OP was just saying how funny it is, that, even though solaire loves the sun so much he still let's you (the player) choose not to light the fire and let the world be filled with darkness, and thus become a lord of darkness.

[@AaronShenghao]

To be honest, Solaire should light the fire so he can be our sun.

[@the_rabidsquirel]

@@lucasthelegolas8682 I don't know about "should have understood", they could easily be an RT fan but not know the game. The whole lord of darkness thing could not be clear to someone that has no idea what's going on.

my biggest flex of all time is that i beat manus on my first go, with 13 estuses, while being completely unaware that i was, in fact, fighting probably the hardest boss in the game.

[@lemonjelly1171]

same here, and it is easily the biggest brag I can claim to have

[@apolloniuspergus9295]

That's me with Gael in ds3. Except I knew he was a hard boss. I'd say that if you know in which stats to put points, upgrade your weapons and have good (functional) equipment, New Game becomes easy. Previous experiences with console games or souls games also counts.

I'm on my first playthrough of DS1 but I'm still watching because RT fucks over the cont and cheeses the combat so much that I don't feel like I'm getting anything spoiled.

[@CafeLiquerstreams]

One thing I have to say, because he took our fave NPC to Gwyn's fight, the age of light continues despite him walking away (solaire burns himself, burning a lot stronger than anyone else prolonging the age of light a lot longer than you would have)

[@SelenaphobicWolf]

Just for future reference, in regards to Onion Knight, you can go down before speaking to him and kill all but 1 squid dude. You can then speak to Onion Knight and kill the remaining squid. That will ensure that Onion Knight survives

I am honestly impressed he got artoisis in a couple of tries(depending on how much he actually showed from the stream ofc). He is such a PIA boss fight, super quick and extremely punishing.

[@NJP1234567890]

Use arrows to shoot all but one of those things and then talk to Tin man and he’ll jump in and you have no issues. Also if you see him get grabbed like you did quit out and load back.
