Sup /b/. I need a new game to play and I want it to be a challenge. I just finished breath of the wild, and while it was good, you can get really op, really fast.

So, I was thinking of playing Dark Souls. Tell me what you guys thought and any advice before I start.

Dark souls is really great but maybe watch some lore videos beside your playtrough because otherwise you dont know shit about the game (storywise)

just finished dark souls last week
>>733891530
lier!!

>>733891449
Take your time playing. Trial and error is normal. The moment you get frustrated is the time to take a break, if you go on it'll make you play worse. Find a weapon you like and stick with it.

There's a fine line between ocd autistic games and games that provide some challenge to gamers, faggot.

Play it blind the first time. No walk through / hints. Stay off of /v/. Don't be afraid to die or to "suicide run" through an area to scout it. Upgrade gear rather than leveling, and play with whatever gear you enjoy rather than what seems "powerful". If you want ez mode go magic, otherwise only get enough attunement for one or two spells / miracles.

Get a fucking bow.

Best game of all time, and I'm an NES oldfag.

Don't go and fight the skeletons early unless you aren't a bitch
Character class and starting gift don't matter much and don't lock you out of any content. Just pick Depraved if you want to get the hardcore experience.


And yes it's a good game

it's not for you, normie
go play hello kitty adventure

Samefag here, don't ever "grind", it's not worth it as you can finish at soul level 1 if you git gud. After beating it once, watch anything by epicnamebro or vaatividya. Also, stay human / unhollowed at all times if possible, it allows summons from NPCs even if offline, and online co-op is fun so buy a white sign soapstone and leave your sign down at all times. PVP is the real endgame and what the community is all about, and don't forget to wave/bow.

Starting gift matters if you pick the key, but that's really a curse unless you know where you're going or just say "fuck it" and suicide run looking for loot.

I haven't beat Dark Souls yet, but I'd wager I'm about half way through

>got cursed in New Londo ruins
>accidentally hit a beef jerky merchant that sells a cure
>never got around to fixing all that
>been playing cursed
>50% health
>can't summon help for bosses

How the fuck have I gotten as far as I have?
Taken down Quelaag, Ornstein and Smough, lots of bosses like this.
I have no idea what I'm doing.

...beaten O&S, can warp bonfires, still cursed? I am confused...

>>733891449
I'd say give it a go but whatever you do, don't look anything up until you finish the game. You'll ruin the experience otherwise.

There's 2 guys that sell the cure at the very least and you can find the cure in the open as well in places, youll get to it.

>>733891449
The first one is the best. Play it blind or you'll ruin your experience for yourself. Try every boss solo at least one to three times your first play through. Summon Solaire if you need help and if he's available. He's a damage sponge for most bosses but a newbie's best friend during the Gargoyles and OS. Keep your Humanity as much as you can. You get two types of humanities, one next to your health which drops when you lose your souls, spend those as Kindling when you can. The other, item humanity, save for when you need it. You can only summon allies and be invaded when you're Human. I would get the online-fix mod if you want the true Dark Souls experience. Try cutting off the tails of large draconic enemies. Learn to Dodge and parry or use heavy armor and tank + spank. Sorcery is a crutch; if you make a sorcerer don't just rely on it. Miracles start off kind of shit but you get some really fucking good ones later on if you wanna do a cleric/paladin.

Checked, but no. That would be awesome, and I'd rock it, though.

>>733891449
Dark souls is a good game if you want a challenge. also there are 5 titles all in all so you get to play it a lot

Dark Souls is pretty fucking amazing. Challenging as hell but solid in every possible way. If you want more updated graphics then don't be afraid of trying DS2 or DS3. They're in the same universe but not linear.

Another amazing game I recently found is Neir Automata. It's not as hard as Dark souls but the most fun I"ve had in a while. The graphics are gorgeous and the music really sets it apart. In fact, I've never heard better music in a vidya game. Also, pic related is a constant feature in the game.
