How were you supposed to know you could burn the windmill?

you were supposed to know because dark souls 2 is shit

I don't fucking know, it's pretty easily missed. There's always signs around it though.

You weren't. LOL

Because you played online like the bitch you are and petty much let other people play the game for you and then complain about the game being too simple. Multiplayer outside of ng+ or pvp fucking ruins the souls games.

a lota hosts killed themselves trying to do it

It took me about 20 tries before I did it. I had to look it up. I was playing offline though. Thats one thing I liked about Dark Souls 2.

It's not like the boss can't be beaten without it, it's just a bit more tedious. The game hands out lifegems like candy anyway.

The NPC Phantoms all point to it
Player messages might suggest it
In SotfS there's a Grave Warden defending it

Though I suppose for some players they can just fight the boss without burning the windmill, and that actually creates a very difficult bossfight that forces the player to make proper use of bossfights

oh blame from software for assuming that you were well read enough to recognize a Don Quichot reference. you're a knight and you're inside a windmill, what's more logical than trying to burn it

fucking casuals I swear

I explored the fucking section and just kinda figured it out, games not that hard.

>literally made of steel/stone(I honestly can't tell because them shitty textures)
>flammable

Well done FS

beat the boss without it

reading a guide told me i could do that

fight is at least 2 times more difficult with i still on

once i beat the boss then i didnt heal fast enough and died - had to do the fight over again

It's a shame the devs didn't get a lot more time to develop the game, since Earthen Peak is actually a really good area, it's just that it looks terrible (and the connection to the next area is silly

Perhaps if they had one of those DLC shrines after you kill the boss, then it could take you to Iron Keep
Or maybe the elevator after Mytha should have taken you to the rooftop of Earthen Peak and you could've had both the shrine to the old iron king dlc and a shrine to iron keep

oh well

wait what

You were supposed to look it up on the internet

Aside from the fact it's made of steel and shouldn't even catch fire, it seems to be in no way connected to the boss arena to begin with.

come on now, you never read the tale of Don Quichot the windmill slayer ?

He never burned them though.

PvP is the only thing that keeps Dark Souls as a long-lasting game. Otherwise, it's just a one and done snoozefest because nothing changes from playthrough to playthrough.

ah yes, who could have forgotten Bloodborne's incredible textures

still the reference should have struck your mind, "oh this game added a torch and it's most likely meant to other usage than light areas"

fuck off you read a guide

>what is lubrication

What is the purpose of this reply?

You weren't, because it's made of fucking metal. It's a stupid thing. Fortunately I'm a curious guy when it comes to exploration because that's the only reason I found out about it.

DaSII fags so triggered they have to shit on other games in the series completely unprovoked whenever someone calls out their favourite game as garbage

you tell me, faggot

>lubrication at the hinges is enough to burn down the whole fucking metal structure
fucking stop mate

...

no I read books that allow me to appreciate life as a smart individual

Isn't there a NPC soapstone message telling you to Try Fire or someshit?

ayy lmao

kek

savage

Ahhh.. My neurons..
...AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHhhh....
I am universe now.

post the edits

like how you were supposed to know that the drake will burn the bridge in das1

player massages

I mean, I thought gamers were supposed to be inquisitive? You're seriously telling me so many people didn't just explore and walk up to it and get the prompt?

How was the guy who played it first supposed to know it then?

not sure, but similar things like how the pigs can dig out the pickaxe were wrote down in gamer guides

>posts a bloodborne related image
>t-t-t-t-that was unprovoked, D-DaS2 cucks on suicide w-w-watch haa..

>didn't just explore and walk up to it and get the prompt
You need to be wielding a torch for the prompt to appear too.

And the area is nowhere near dark enough to warrant carrying one.

If you didn't know about it by soapstone, it's a one in a million chances of actually activating it.

I didn't so I killed the boss while wading around in poison.

TETSUO

It just allows the fire to reach the flammable parts, which are also the parts that keep the machinery moving.

by seeing the messages people left

You mean that you seriously didn't immediately think that obviously you could burn this completely disconnected metal windmill with the torch you never have to use for anything to drain the poison from the bossfight for absolutely no reason? Fucking retarded dark souls 1 fags

You can see it clearly without not walking straight into it. There's no reason to believe that there would be anything worthwhile that's invisible to the naked eye. It makes no sense to try to burn a metal object, either.

I figured it out just because there's the little path up to it that has no other reason to be there. It still didn't make much sense, but I knew I had to be able to do something there and tried things until that worked.

People seriously bitch about this in a game series with invisible walls?

This is what I was talking about. How fucking unimaginative are you that you can't see what's right in front of you.
