This game has reached the point of unspeakable. I have been playing this fucking thing for over 60 hours. I have endured a fort crammed more full of bullshit traps than I have shit in my ass, skeletons who won't stay dead, living wheels that gangrape you from every direction, a laggy poison swamp that has more bullshit than actual shit, cheap as fuck gangrape forests, gimmicky bosses, like ten invading players, and all sorts of other shit. I keep playing because there are brief moments of brilliant satisfaction and challenging battles... and I'll admit, part of me keeps playing to see what bullshit they throw next out of some sick, masochistic sense of curiosity.

This, though? Fuck this. I thought I reached my breaking point before but I always pushed on. Not this time. Where I draw my final line is having an area LITERALLY be fucking PITCH BLACK, full of bullshit giant skeletons EVERYWHERE, being a literal maze with absolutely nothing to help guide you, random slopes you can't avoid sliding down, mother fuckers kicking you off cliffs, and THOSE FUCKING SKELETON APES... I just can't. I fucking can't do this shit anymore. I quit.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU FIGHT WHEN YOU CAN'T FUCKING SEE!?

git gud

[Spoiler]git lantern[/Spoiler]

I can't use the stupid lantern thing because it takes up my left hand.

Then get the glowing bug hat, or learn the light sorcery.

>being a shield babby

hmmm

Yeah I'm just going to change my fucking build to use sorcery. Are you retarded?

I two hand the demon axe.

>I two hand the demon axe
So just one hand it

You should be one almost one shotting the skelets, just put the lamp away for a second

Do Lost Izalith first.

If I put the lantern away I can't see and the fuckers kick me into oblivion or some shit or I fall off.

The one hand moveset sucks.

I have no idea what that is.

>60 hours
I have 460 hours and 0 regrets.

>mfw tomb of the giants for the first time

>I have no idea what that is.
Through the Demon's Ruins. Past Quelaag.

>If I put the lantern away I can't see and the fuckers kick me into oblivion or some shit or I fall off.
Keep the lantern out. When you enter combat, put it away.

Dark souls is about adaption, if you cant adapt your weapon, armor and utility items because you need to use the retarded axe then play something else.

>Duke's Archives
>New Londo Ruin
>Tomb of the Giants
>Lost Izalith

Whenever I think about re-playing Dark Souls, the only areas I dread going through again are the four areas after you get the Lordvessel. Every single one of them is its own kind of fucked up and stupid.

Everything in the game before that I'm fine with going through again. It really is a 10/10 game when you ignore the last third.

Are you fucking retarded? Use the fucking lantern, its just one part of the game, learn to roll or just evade the mobs altogether, you don't need to kill everything on your path you fucking dumb nigger.

youtube.com/watch?v=LHpKXGv2l_E

Why'd they even put such a piss easy boss as the guard of this fucking place anyway? Is it just trolling?


I'm not going to be a pussy and just run by everything, and even when I tried that shit gets in your way all the time and you can't see where you're running to and you get knocked off and shit.

Fuck past Quelaag. That giant STD was more bullshit than this is.

I use the weapon I want to use. If the game is so poorly designed that it makes it impossible for players to use what they want to then it's a shit fucking game, isn't it?

Do all masochists want a medal or are you just a special snowflake?

Then use another weapon you fucking retard. Holy shit how did you even make it this far

You can use whatever weapon you want, user, you just have to play well.

Why would I? I want to use this one. Why should I have to switch to a different weapon, having to go get the materials, farm the souls, and upgrade it just so it's half as good as what I'm currently using when it's not even what I want to use, just because the game has shit design?

Nobody can play fucking blind.

Just play another game mate, its okay to not like some stuff.

@408334659

>bad at game
>call it poorly designed

See the bullshit laggy swamp? There's a corner of web, go in there and kill that boss
Ring the bell and then go down the stairs, hit some wall to reveal secret bonfire
Head out through a red tunnel, keep going down and then turn right before the slope going into the lava, you'll see a fog gate, pass through it and prepare for a cheap boss, after killing it go all the way down, before the other fog gate, go to the busted wall, kerp going until you see a massive wall door thing, if you have a big range weapon or some poison mist, do it in the middle of it, when it dies you probably have a chance to get it
Otherwise you have to go inside the other fog gate and fight the boss, after you get him go upstairs for shortcut, then go back but downstairs and prepare for the floor is lava boss, after you kicked his flaming ass you have a lil tunnel, equip the ring he gave you and get in there, prepare you eyes because brightness is the only thing you're seeing, wander around without triggering the chicken and fight your way to the other side of the wall door, it's through a tunnel with a stone demon, get that bitchass or leg the fuck up to get the door and kill the red eyed bug to get what you want, if you do that you can open the door (because you either need to get to the other side or join the other spider covenant, the one you found in the secret wall to open that door)
Sorry for long post, hope it helps

You're not blind, you have a low field of vision when you're not using the lantern. Adapt.

Stop being such a faggot
Use a smaller weapon for 1h to offhand the lantern, go get the light hat, or fuck off

>60 hours
Oof.
I was gonna give you advice but by reading the thread I see you clearly don't want answers.

you that faggot who made a dozent of those threads allready. always claiming its to hard and then admitting that you dont know anything about the gaming mechanics?

Stopped reading immediately since it's obvious you're retarded and don't read anything. How the fuck could I be where I am if I hadn't even met Quelaag yet?

Not being able to see until something is literally right in your fucking face is blind, ask my grandma. And what the fuck do you do about the giant magical arrows flying at you from nowhere?

The fuck is the light hat?

Not my fault people are jackasses who'd rather say "git gud" or "change your entire build and how you play" instead of giving actual advice, but I guess that'd require them trying to use their brains and I understand that gives them headaches.

darksouls.wikidot.com/sunlight-maggot

>And what the fuck do you do about the giant magical arrows flying at you from nowhere?
Listen and stay mobile.

Thanks for making me want to play OP. What build should I do for my playthrough?

>use lamp
>see enemy before they even agro
>put lamp away
>hit enemy

wow

>How the fuck could I be where I am if I hadn't even met Quelaag yet?
You can be in TotG within five minutes of starting the game.

>Not my fault people are jackasses who'd rather say "git gud" or "change your entire build and how you play" instead of giving actual advice, but I guess that'd require them trying to use their brains and I understand that gives them headaches.
People have been giving you plenty of advice and you've only responded with hostility.

>Try to help you getting the light hat
>Fuck off u retard
Well play blindly and you'll find out, instead of whining like an underage cunt
Git fucking gud

Let's gooooooooo

>no matter what i do its never my fault
fuck off you twohandgripping cocksucker who gets lost in the dark

>Why'd they even put such a piss easy boss as the guard of this fucking place anyway? Is it just trolling?
Killing Pinwheel early in the game is pretty fun. If you pick up Kindling early on it makes Anor Londo a lot easier, too.

You dont have to change your build you fucking retard. Since apparently you are too stupid to run by everything without fighting mob all you have to do is use a 1h for 5 fucking minutes and then you get past this part of the game. But you are dsp tier and that concept is way past your fucking mental capacity

Oh god it's this guy AGAIN

Read the very first post where I describe all the places I've been. I've been to the trap fort you can only get to with the bells and I even mentioned in a later post I already killed Quelaag. Just fucking read.

Why is cocksucker even an insult?

What does that shit do anyway? I forgot to read it.

This is being posted to roll

Karmic Justice build.

youtube.com/watch?v=o8HlFkLIbWo

>Why is cocksucker even an insult?

Allows you to upgrade bonfires even further to give you more estus when you rest at them. Normally you can only upgrade a bonfire once to get 10 estus, but with Kindling you can go all the way up to 20.

Why are souls fans so insuferable and think that everyone already did 10 playthroghs with each build? New players are a thing you know

>expects everyone to read his long bitchy wall of text
>won't read anyone else's advice that's longer than four sentences

>HOW THE FUCK DO YOU FIGHT WHEN YOU CAN'T FUCKING SEE!?

Reach out with your feelings.

New players are great
Retards who scream and shout at everyone because they can't be bothered to 1h their weapon for a couple minutes to use an item they pretty much force you to pick up should probably just stop playing

Oh shit that's actually kinda cool. So how would somebody kill that boss early though? The skeletons would be a fucking nightmare.

I'd read a long post, but not if they clearly didn't bother reading mine. Why would I? They're just going to repeat shit that I already know since they don't even know where I am in the game.

>Why is cocksucker even an insult?
i bet you are also proud to be called cuck right?
maybe you are just mad becauseyou are stuck in a place where you cant suck cock for once

We're litterally trying to expain to him thr things to do and what does x or y do
The only answers we got are just a bunch of hostilities and other things he wants to know

>abloblobloo I don't want to deviate from my boooooild
A few points less in STR won't kill you, you autist.

This except I like the Archives

>@
I'll let that slide this time
Not him, but the game is poorly designed, you need to abuse i-frames to get anywhere in the game, you can't just normally fight an enemy due to how stamina works

youtu.be/hY4VCcmYeME?t=93

Idk maybe learn to play the game and ignore the mobs?

I don't even know where to get sorcery spells or how to use them, so I'd have to go out of my way to learn that shit, then get the spell, then get the stats for it when I'm already over 60 hours in. I shouldn't fucking have to just to be able to SEE WHERE I'M GOING.

A cuck is a beta male who gets off to knowing he isn't good enough for his lover. A cocksucker is just someone who likes to suck dick. A lot of people like to suck dick. I don't personally but I don't get why it's a bad thing.

Nobody has tried to explain shit except the guy who told me what the kindle thing from the catacombs boss does. Everyone else is just "change your build", "git gud", "new players are hilarious", "cocksucker".

New londo and tomb of giants are great areas, i agree with the rest

here we go

Yeah, I only kill mobs on souls on my first way through some place or to farm souls, after going through some place once I always ignore everything and just run to my objective.

>who gets off to knowing he isn't good enough for his lover.
This is not what the word means. Learn things from somewhere other than memes next time.

That's literally the definition of a cuck you retard. Someone who likes watching their lover fuck somebody else.

>Nobody has tried to explain shit except the guy who told me what the kindle thing from the catacombs boss does. Everyone else is just "change your build", "git gud", "new players are hilarious", "cocksucker".

Stop whinning for fucks sake I already explained what to do and you won't listen. You don't have to kill every single fucking mob, after you touch the next bonfire you're good for that area so just focus on staying alive through to the next bonfire nigger for fucks sake...

Maybe this isn't the game for you after all.

...

>How to literally not get to play the game you paid for
Why do people do this?

You know what, last resort, search 101 wildpie dumbshit guide dark souls on yt, if you are still stuck at the tombs of giants i suggest you uninstall because anor londo, the forest and the dlc will be unbeatable and unforgivable for you

Literally just run past them.

That doesn't fucking work. You put away the lamp the moment you see the enemy and before you can even swing your weapon they kick you in the fucking face.

I CANNOT SEE WHERE I AM GOING! HOW THE FUCK WOULD I FIND THE BONFIRE OR KNOW WHERE TO RUN WHEN TRYING TO GET BY ENEMIES!?

It is not.

You can get divine weapons as early as the Bell Gargoyles. Killing skeletons with a divine weapon causes them to not respawn. Alternatively, it's very doable to run past the skeletons and kill the necromancer if you know where to find him. Finally, if you don't want to do any of that, there are large chunks of the Catacombs area that can be skipped by jumping down, since the area is so vertically designed.

No matter how you do it though, the worst part about getting Kindling before you have the Lordvessel is not being able to bonfire warp out. The best way to do it is walk all the way to Pinwheel's room from the first bonfire (or even better, from Firelink Shrine), then use a homeward bone after you kill him.

works on my machine

Shame they don't tell you that's how to kill the skeletons for good. I can't imagine trying to do that really early and just having to figure it out for myself.

>Nobody tried to explain shit
The wall of text was literally the 3 ways to get the sun maggot from blighttown to lost izalith to let you pass the tomb of giants with your 2 handed pussy character
If you're stuck in tomb of giants, gtfo and get back to swamp land and from there, read that fucking wall of text, i also made an alternative here

Too bad this will never give a good build. The game penalizes you and is basically impossible unless you go shortsword/shield and as much armor as you can manage while still rolling.

>and before you can even swing your weapon they kick you in the fucking face.
You're not one-shotting these guys, are you? If not, you're going to have to learn to dodge their attacks eventually. It sucks that you have so little room to fight, but at least against the first one you can hug the right wall and abuse i-frames.

Dude I use the demon axe two handed (so no shield), I wear light as fuck armor that doesn't do shit to protect me, and I'm 60 hours into the game even though people say I'm shit at it.

Dumb phoneposter
t. Another phoneposter

>A cocksucker is just someone who likes to suck dick. A lot of people like to suck dick. I don't personally but I don't get why it's a bad thing.
> i dont even know how insults work how am i supposed to find a cock to suck when its so dark!1!1!!!1!!1!

on a related note, you know that you have tohold the lantern like a shield to increase the light radius right?

faggot

Yeah, that works great if you're following a walkthrough that tells you where to go and how to fight every boss. Otherwise it's cheap bullshit 24/7.

Domhnall of Zena (the merchant who calls you "Siwmae") tells you about divine weapons permakilling skeletons if you talk to him in Firelink Shrine.

Dude I've done like 70% of this game without any help at all. I've asked some specific questions but then most of that I realized I probably could have done it myself. There's a lot of bullshit in the game but until this bullshit dark area none of it was build related, and this is only bullshit because there's no way to get light while two handing because you either need to use the lantern or use some sorcery bullshit that requires you to build differently.

I have no idea who that is. I've talked to everyone in Firelink Shrine though.

How can a walkthrough better prepare you for fighting a boss with a two handed weapon?

>"Okay so here's how to dodge every single attack this guys does..."

>user bitches about no light in the Tomb of the Giants
>Is given many suggestions as to how to have some light in the area
>Cries and bitches that he doesn't want to do any of the things
So do you want someone here to come over and beat the part for you or what?

Those skeleton dogs have a really small aggro range. It's possible to just walk pass them without having to fight them once you know the right path.
You should be holding the lamp in your left hand when you're in the dark.

You explain to me how it's good game design or why I should have to change my fucking build just for one sorcery spell for ONE fucking area of the game, or have to change my weapon from the one I've been using forever just so I can hold a damn lantern just because they had to make an entire area pitch fucking black. You can like a shitty meme game and still admit it has fucking bullshit in it, you don't have to be a blind ass retard who tries to come up with excuses for every problem the game has.

Fuck the lantern. And I tried that once but it followed me and killed me.

>there's no way to get light while two handing because you either need to use the lantern or use some sorcery bullshit that requires you to build differently.
How many times do people have to explain to you that there's a third way? Or that it's perfectly feasible to switch between the lantern and two-handing?

I already explained how that switching bullshit doesn't fucking work for me, and I still don't get this light hat bullshit people are talking about.

cock

Rolling for D3

Those are both you problems.

sucker

The game is designed to test the limits of your build. On my first playthrough my build was designed around shielding and drinking estus. Then I got to the Lautrec ganksquad and I wasn't allowed to do either of those. I died over 20 times and I'm not ashamed to post that on Sup Forums.

Sometimes you run into a part of the game that just seems to be designed to punish your build specifically, and chances are it actually was. Don't get discouraged. It happens all the time.

There's no need to start over with a different build. I dunno if you're into roleplay when you play games like this, but try asking yourself, how is Mr. Two-Hand-Demon-Axe-Guy going to get through this one? He must be pretty resourceful if he made it this far.

rollan dolan

Step one. Realize the game is bullshit. The controls are flawed.
Step two. Realize the developer's vision is also flawed. They do not understand proper game design.
Step three. Uninstall. A game broken both mathematically and fundamentally is not worth your time.

YOLO ROLO

Exactly.

So a thief with a bow? That's boring as shit, reroll.

Only tomb of the giants is bad, the rest I really liked

The only way to learn when to dodge attacks is by seeing them in action. I know some wikis have gifs of boss moves, but at that point why aren't you just playing the fucking game?
