Elaborate.

*hits with black firebomb&

Heh, nothing personal, demon.

>He didn't pick black firebombs

pity (you)

i agree
what is the point to run away.
it is a game mechanic?

*plunging attacks above you*

heh, nothin personnel demon

>have to go through blightown
>can't take any shortcuts

why would i pick something finite when i can have a ring that heals me?

To teach you to run away from threats.

More like "learning curve: the boss." Easy as fuck on your second play through.

>he doesnt use the broken sword

ayy

why pick a ring when you can get the demons weapon

>all this bait
You will get no (you)s from me nerds

this and to teach you to search the boss room for an advantage.

there was no demon weapon starting gift

I can both pick the ring AND get the demons weapon.

TRADE A SACK
or gitgud

>HAHA DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS

I'm not going to ostracize you, just this once. Read under availability.

This is the real artificial difficulty.

The ring doesn't heal you.

jesus fuck i'm old

If you kill the demon on your first encounter (very difficult unless your gift is black firebombs) you get his weapon, so essentially picking black firebombs is picking his weapon.

if you played demon's souls you say this coming a a mile away and knew better than to fuck with it

Beating him is artificial difficulty.

saw*

> play as bandit to get key anyway

where's my brain meme generator

like 14 people outside of japan played demon's before dark souls released

so im suppose to pick a finite item blindly just because the first boss is so bullshit its impossible to kill it without them so i can get a weapon i didnt know existed? great game design.

>"ive never played the game in my life so i just talk out my ass"
it says right fucking there it heals me you retard.

It's pretty fun to fight after you've leveled a bit. Unless it spams its bullshit retreating or aerial firebreath.

you can still get to valley of drakes through darkroot basin without the master key

>don't start with the strength to even wield it
GREAT

I played this game for the first time the other week and beat him on my second try. How the fuck could you possibly struggle with this?

how so?
I must be rare then because it was a ps+ freebee which a ton of people downloaded.

It increases your health by 5%.
It does not heal you. This has been a known thing.

only before the patch. It used to instantly one shot you like a pitfall or being cursed.

t. launchfag

there also wasn't nearly as much humanity plus i seem to remember the 4kings actually being hard. Also the giant blacksmith didnt sell twink tits.

Game was nerfed hard.

>muh prepare to die

The ring doesn't heal retard. It's a mistranslation.

it still randomly oneshots you, if anything it's worse because you can't know whether you'll be able to take a hit or not

Is it even possible to fight? It's the most overpowered boss in the game unless you cheese it

>it says right fucking there it heals me you retard
That description is actually wrong, it only gives you a 5% health increase

The ring does not heal you

Difficult artificiality more like it

it does not take very long to get to 31 strength if you treat it like a dump stat. Depending on your starting class that's only like 15 levels. 3-4 of which you get from that demon another 3-5 if you clear undead burg and another 3-5 for the boar and chapel.

so the game never got any updates? then what did i download? why the fuck would the ring say it heals you if it doesnt? if it was an error why not fix it? it might be known to faggots who fap to this cheap as fuck fad game but to someone who actually has a life and cant play everything when its brand new i have no way of knowing the game just lies to me.

Area awareness. Telling you to stop being a stupid idiot bashing your head against the wall and just come back later.

>put on ring and it doesn't heal you but it increases your max hp instead
that was hard to figure out

That's the thief. Also starts with Bandit's knife that's fast as fuck and has bleed so you can go back to the asylum for a gorillion souls right away. Without using the morning star.

Maybe you should have a higher IQ

after i took the thing in the first place you mean? the boss is the first thing in the whole game thats actually attacked me and it kills me in two hits. what healing would i have time to see when im paying attention to what this blubber ass is doing?

could've checked the in-game description, that one doesn't lie

why would i? what reason would i have to doubt it does what it tells me it does?

artificial difficulty

>I have a life
>I post on Sup Forums

Pick one

*rattling in the distance*

heh nothing personnel, hollow

there was a fucking door i could escape through the WHOLE FUCKING TIME!?

The fact that you weren't ever getting health ever?

>Priscilla trying to tell me this is a kind world.

>second play through.
user

I never understood why people hated these dude so much until I started using light shields.

>How dare a game have secret rewards bad game design and artificial

Hi.

I am glad you weren't around when Dark Souls first came out.
Nothing making sense and nobody knowing what the hell was going on was half the fun.

tha's not true at all. People would not shut UP about Demon Souls and its difficulty when the game came out. Everyone was playing it and waving their epeen around over how easy they found certain bosses/areas

>what do you MEAN there was a message telling me to run away?

lmao, I don't care if he's shitposting, im having the time of my life laughing at his ass

Very possible. You have to lure it down by hiding in the corners near the stairs. It has stomping, biting, and tail sweep attacks along with many ways of breathing fire. The only real danger is its fire attacks, but those can be avoided by hiding in corners near the hellkite or by having a lot of fire resist/a good shield. It doesn't have much health so the fight doesn't last too long.

Tutorial the Boss

Official starting class power ranking(descending order):
10. Knight
-overeducated, spoiled, out of shape twat, unskilled in battle(reliant on poise), huge pussy with a too heavy shield and can't even wield his weapon effectively(broadsword worst SS), dumb fuck keeps his visor up, supremely uncomfortable set to wear, officially just some low-ranking chump despite the name
+experienced at getting beat up by peers and parents, high vit
9. Wanderer
-No bags. "Wanderer". Explicitly aimless, hollows in minutes.
8. Bandit
-Dumbest garb in game on the dumbest class. Doesn't even cover him, very bad travel wear and offers little protection. Axe is also a poor weapon with little versatility, still the best that clumsy fucker can do. Looks silly too.
+strong
+like real fucking strong
7. Thief
-City person. Frail and out of shape, not made for any form of fighting, carries no supplies and no proper weapon or protection. Smart and faithful but little practical skills or experience. Fish out of water.
+would do well elsewhere
6. Pyromancer
-Unwashed, clumsy barbarian heretic in rags with no proper protection, a broken fucking shield and a woodchopper
+experienced and prepared for travel
++slings fucking fireballs
5. Cleric
-Looks fucking ridiculous. Weapon is atrocious, but too clumsy to use a fucking spear so he has no choice. Out of shape and without any protection or offensive skills, a frail slugger.
+pajamas look pretty comfy
+heal is damn useful
+bags
4. Hunter
-two sidearms, no shield or proper armor
-no hat
+hardy, strong, dexterous and in great shape, can use almost any weapon and do it well
+only one smart enough to bring a ranged weapon
+most versatile weapon in existence
+comfortable outfit suited for traveling, offers decent protection, has storage and the guy can sustain himself
3. Sorcerer
-no armor
-subpar shield and weak, albeit versatile weapon

>Hunters are the strongest

+Dressed to impress, very sound garb and will drop panties all across Lordran. Basically what the Knight wishes he was(close your visor). Well prepared for traveling. Adept at using both weapons and magics, kit is basically just a thief that can bend reality to his fucking will. One of only three characters competent at ranged battle, of two in longer range(fireball is throwing distance). One of only two characters who's got some achievements under his belt.
+just look at that smooth-ass motherfucker
+can have end-game equipment in under 5 minutes
2. Warrior
-no ranged options, that's it
+Lives up to his name. Same as the hunter, but hardier and with a sounder kit. Set is a fine compromise between being comfortable, lightweight and protective, its balance is a work of fucking art. Starts with THE best weapon and shield in the world, has probably trained with them since before he got his baby teeth(look at that shield). Only accomplished character besides the Sorcerer. He's the fighting man, best person for it and with the best equipment for it. Has spent every minute of his life fighting or training, has never even seen a book or heard about existential issues or religion. Native in body language and knows none other. He's a fucking machine.
1. Deprived
-no equipment
-has no powers
+powers are for the weak
+no weakness
+needs nothing, wants nothing, he is complete as he is, perfection incarnate
+nobody wants to fuck with that
+gives people no option besides inevitable, and humiliating defeat

I just did this. You have the bonfire just before the boss room, you can retry the fight and still get it. It's not really hard since it's damn near inevitable to get him stuck in a loop with his limited moveset. It's just tedious, the sword hilt does as much damage as fisting the fucker. Fight went like this.
>walk into range and slap his belly twice
>fatty charges up his sidewinder
>fucking walk backwards
>repeat
He's so damn slow, and all the moves he uses at close range have so short reach you pretty much never even need to dodge. It's 100% learning his 3-4 moves(not that he'll even use them all) and tedium.

>faggot user regurgitating lines from a comic as if it's witty or adds anything after everyone's already heard it a hundred fucking times

I'm sure reddit thought this was very funny.

kek. I get that reference

Bandit corpse is furthest into the game. Pyro and Wanderer being the runner-ups.

Deprived is never found.
