Naw it rings when ur offline too so urban legend imo

@@RealMonkeyDKirbyit rings randomly when offline x

@eta2670 exactly and offline or online it rings all the time, ds1 isn't active enough for ppl to be killing the gargoyles every 30 seconds. I really think it's a lordran urban legend

​​@@RealMonkeyDKirbyit probably worked like that in the beginning. Id guess now its both, it plays randomly *and* when someone rings it, so the game feels more active

Bro, YES. Still the best level design Ive ever experienced. You said it perfect.

Nowadays its just a useless horse to cover huge empty plains and ton of trash berrie bushes to craft items that were given you as is in a previous Souls games. Yes, Im looking at you Elden Ring! 😄

another sin ds2 did. dont care no excuse for throwing such an important part of a games identity out, still fine game but my metroidvania itch 😭

been playing for 12 years now and the level design still impresses me every time

Dark souls 2 killed it all. Dark souls 3 tried to make up for it but failed map wise just like DS2

I have over 100 hours in DS and I have never seen it before! I was like wtf is that 😂 rare indeed

@@LeoStep93 they’re especially uncommon nowadays I was lucky enough to see one on my first play through but I’ve never seen one again there are actually like three or four different types of them. I would recommend seeing illusory walls video on it. It’s very interesting.

not dies ... loses those humanities , so he have to die and die again before picking up his blood stain

I've seen it once and I platinumed the game

Bro that explains it, I seen one of them on the ledges in anor londo where the knights shoot giant arrows at you, I died and when I came back it werent there Weirdly enough I seen another in anor londo castle once id made it there and I thought it was the same one I was so confused

Oh no blight town is going to be true hell

Am I crazy or did the rats originally hit you with toxic and they changed it to poison

​@TomBombadil89 not sure about the toxic but they definately where nerfed. Those 3 rats used ti be a serious issue -_-

​@@TomBombadil89still toxic

That was the worst lol, especially when I couldn't find that one blowdart guy 😂

You know people say they've never seen one before but I've seen them at least 3 or 4 separate times in my only hundred hours of gameplay

I'm on ng+7 and I've finished the game with multiple other saves and I've never encountered one, they are like my Bigfoot lol

@@ILoveMoms445 I’ve got about 80 hours and never seen one

just saw one two days in a row, weird.

Counterpoint: You have a shield, don't use it.

Nah, don't use the shield.

@@v1b3wAgree. Dual wield and dodge.

They probably do that because not locking on makes enemies not turn as much in DS3 and Elden Ring making backstabs easier. It's very noticeable in DS3 to the point that you almost always want to unlock for those run around quick backstabs. But yeah you don't need to do that in DS1.

what is that thing?

i had never seen that in my own runs lol

Its fun to watch em die repeatedly, reminds me pf my first playthrough

@@ghoulsome9483 Too bad FromSoft didn't have more time to flesh out Lost Izalith. The game that created a genre.

First half at least :)

I remember my first playthrough. The game is hard, harder than the other games in the series, but it is a difficulty that is manageable. It isn't unfair. Well no, it is unfair, but that unfairness can be countered by being careful, steady, and not rushing forward like it is your normal hack and slash. The game is based on making sure you learn where the enemies are, what kind of enemies they are, and learning how to fight them. Also, learn how to use the game's mechanics well and exploit them.

Zanny can make a million destiny videos but cant make a series out of the souls borne games lmao

@@quinntrbl Exacly! I was disappointed that his dark souls ,,series" was just 3 or 2 videos and half of it were a, once again , cuts from his streams. I love watching zanny but in that case i was angry that he ended it so quickly and poorly

@@quinntrbl I like Zanny and I've been watching him for around 3 years, but he's pretty much a one trick pony. I wouldn't really watch his FromSoft playthrough over the FromSoft playthrough of a guy like SeeReax. Plus I just kinda grew out of him. I'm more of a chasethebro/prod kind of guy, and I was before too but I probably wouldn't watch anyone else over them for Soulsborne vids

then the very next video of ds1 he uploads is stream highlights lmao. i know how you feel though, i hate them too. i refuse to watch content that’s just repurposed stream footage

Thats true. I remember so many things in the first few minutes.😂

Shield is cheese

@@adtrajgaming4899yeah but this game has four directional rolling when locked on, it’s less fluid and flexible than the other games. a shield really keeps you from getting frustrated trying to dodge everything in the cramp environments. this is opposed to a game like Bb which is made for strictly movement based defense. plus, a shield won’t save you from everything.

@@gh05tnoh24 get good scrub

​@@adtrajgaming4899Wow! You're so cool! I'm sure all the hoes will be swinging by now!

​@@adtrajgaming4899Oh no, some people want to use a legitimate mechanic this game (which encourages us to do things the way we want to) provides! And it's NOT the one YOU like to use~! Boohoo~! Better insult them in a shallow attempt to seem superior, instead of actually being a cool person & earning that right. Then wonder why the smug satisfaction wears off so fast & you never really feel fulfilled in life. ...Y-yay? 🤔

Personally i found Elden Ring to be both the easiest and hardest one, most of the experience was easy, but with some huge difficult spikes, like Margitt at the begining and Malenia, both killed me way more than any other boss in these games, actually i'm pretty sure Malenia killed me more than all of my first playthrough of DS1 many years back For consistently difficult though, uuuuh probably Sekiro for me, also my favorite

@@ghoulsome9483 elden ring difficulty comes from your build and pride, it's main bosses are more difficult/complicated than any souls boss but are made easier with ashes of war and spirit ashes.

@@Ghorda9 i definitely noticed a huge difference between my playtroughs using different builds. My first one i went blind, didn't go for bleed (was fresh off a bleed playthrough in ds3 and wanted something different), no summons or spirit ashes (missed the first encounter with Ranni so i thought spirit ashes were a miracle/faith thing lol), and for most of that playthrough i think i used the giant hunt ash of war on my twinblade and i got the experience i described there, mostly easy with spikes, Malenia stands out in particular for being absolutely miserable to fight no matter how hard i tried to like it, i love hard bosses but i will die on the hill of her being poorly designed overall despite having a lot of stuff i like My second i decided to do all the meta things just to see what those player's experience was like and wow it's almost a night a day difference especially with the spirit ashes, mimic and oleg are pretty much this game's easy mode and can often win bosses on their own, and these summons are sold to you the same as any other mechanic rather than an easy mode and i wonder how many people's experience got compromised by not realizing this

@@ghoulsome9483 malenia is better designed than you give credit for, she has quite a few openings and her second phase aggression allows you to see those openings more often, her hyper armour isn't a problem if you don't get greedy.

@@Ghorda9 my biggest issue is waterfowl dance, for phase 1 if they were to remove that i would mostly just have minor nitpicks and a small tweak here and there, stuff like she shouldn't be able to heal when hitting a shield (didn't use a shield but i did see it online) and stuff like that. But waterfowl dance essentially turned the fight into an rng where sometimes i was able to roll through the first wave of slashes and sometimes wasn't, the last two i could consistently avoid but not the first one, the super fast windup for such a strong move is also super short and often made it impossible for me to deal with because an attack i started before the windup hadn't recovered yet and wouldn't finish recovering until after she started it, so pretty much gg when that happened, what also doesn't help is that she heals a shit ton when she hits you with waterfowl, undoing a lot of progress if you somehow survive it (not all slashes hit) For phase 2, first of all waterfowl is still around and it's worse because of the higher aggression and has a higher chance of happening due to the more defensive playstyle phase 2 wants you to have, she constantly combos her moves and i didn't feel like there was enough of a sign of when the combo was over and when she was going to string something extra, pretty sure the one where she stabs the ground and does a rot beam is the only one that will 100% of time give an opening, particularly bad when i tested the fight with slow weapons like greatswords and colossal weapons, there's also a lot of moves that i could deal with (mostly) consistently, but didn't feel particularly fair, first example that comes to mind is the clone one, without seeing the move over and over again it's very unreasonable to dodge it all, for most of the clone's livespan it's hard to tell what he is going to do, on top of it being super fast and one coming right after the other in quick succession, and there isn't anything stopping her from chaining it with other combos, so it isn't even a hard to deal with move that rewards you with openings for properly dealing with it. Having to be super defensive also seems to go against what made phase 1 interesting, feels less like a duel and more like a test of patience as you wait for combo after combo after combo for the chance to hit her once, only for her to pull out waterfowl and having to start from the beginning for the 200th time. Also her wings get in the way of seeing what she is doing I totally get people enjoying it and i really, really wanted to as well but i can't

Also another big difference to other games and reason to prioritize rolls over armor is cuz in DS1 any armor without poise is entirely cosmetic, the defense increase from armor is laughably insignificant unless you wear like +5 giants armor and the steel plate ring

This is one of those things that make this game such a masterpiece

The fact there isn't a bunch of cutscenes and you get the lore from the descriptions makes dark souls games s tier

Agreed. Super annoying haha

Funny thing is I have found one in that area before. They were easier to find back in 2012

"EMBRACE THE CHONK" - Ser Johnny Poise

Lol, I have played all the souls games (besides demon souls) and I would say DS1 was the easiest by far, elden ring (when played not over leveled is the hardest

@minecrafthcs7821 the hardest, is by far, ds3 non over leveled, i beat elden ring at level 92 on my first playthrough... severely UNDERLEVELED

Best game ever played??? Okay bud maybe get off your knees for a second and breathe some air.

@@MK3504 What do you mean by this?

@@gary4689 you're being a fan of which is okay. But Elden Rings has major flaws for an open world RPG. The quest system is god awful and many of the easter eggs are not intuitive.a lifeless world to boot, it loses really heavily on second playthrough. The gimmick wears off and you just get an open world souls game. The environment design is absolutely unbelievable but that's really not a defining quality for an RPG.

@@MK3504 I understand your perspective. Elden ring is, in many ways, a departure from the formula the developers perfected, so there are bound to be flaws with the execution of certain new aspects. There are also massive technical and creative innovations that are the culmination of over a decade of refinement. It's really a matter of personal preference whether the triumphs outshine the flaws. Remember: dark souls one is often credited as the best of the franchise, another 'one of the best games ever made', yet it has massive flaws in it's combat, late game pacing, and it just downright isn't finished in certain areas. Don't give me wrong, I've loved the game since it came out, but it's not perfect. I see elden ring being in a similar situation: not perfect, but a massive leap during which some risks had to be taken. I also think it's a jumping off point for a decades worth of new innovation. This, as in my comment above, is just an opinion, though. You are free to disagree. I'd love to get another opinion.

I just find that Elden Ring bosses are too fast/attack too frequently and have too many big AOEs. It feels like I'm playing a DS2 character in Sekiro. I can barely sneak in 1 attack before the boss starts going apeshit again. I have no idea why people think Elden Ring is the easiest (unless you use spirit ashes).

I tend to see DS1 as harder in the sense that it is more unforgiving than the later games due to you having far fewer options at the start and getting more is time consuming. It is also much more slowly and deliberate in its pacing due to the engine limitations of the time. This is a trend for the series as a whole, but DS1 was both harder and easier than the other games for me. DS2's difficulty was more based on a fake difficulty aspect than simple challenge like the first or third games. The third game was harder in the sense that it was much smoother in terms of animations and framerates, which will throw off a Souls veteran who cut his or her teeth on the first two games or Demon's Souls and hasn't done Bloodborne, which gets you used to that smoothness. Funny enough, Bloodborne experience actually makes the challenge easier due to how that game conditions you with regards to Fromsoft games, unlike the Souls games.

Legit. Like... to the point where I kinda don't like Elden Ring because I just can't find an opening on half the bosses

​@@chrisvisser-fee2631They are absolutely there, though they'll be small and relatively rare if you have shitty rng, or keep picking spots to stand where the enemy will activate a certain attack. What helps is making good use of projectiles.

@@jankbunky4279 oh nah I know they are, I'm just... Like Dark Souls is clunky enough you can bait out the same attack over and over that you can punish, BloodBorne enemies are fast and sporadic enough that it's hard to avoid everything but rally means taking damage isn't a "failure". Elden Ring feels as fast as BloodBorne, but as punishing as Dark Souls. I haven't managed to wrap my head around it yet.

How could he have got it, he chose warrior and ring of tiny being, so no master key, so no Valley of the Drakes so no Red Tearstone Ring, I think what happened was the Blue Tearstone Ring being activated

Most of them are at least. That's for sure. The exception being the DLC, Ornstein and Smough, and the bullshit ones like all the lost izalith bosses, or the capra demon.

for me it s the four kings i hated them because i skipped the spider girl in blightown and thought he was garding the 2nd bell , also did all the tomb of giants without light just to be blocked by a giant yellow wall 😅

@@bmxgu2361 that's only true for dlc, the others not so much, capra demon is easy if you just focus on getting out of the corner immediately and the lost izzalith bosses are still easy.

@@Ghorda9 I'm not counting those guys as hard since they're more just badly designed bosses, than hard because of skill. The closest one to being hard due to skill was the centipede demon, and even that one was really janky and often camped in the lava or got stuck in the arena ceiling. And capra demon has 0 space to fight him, 2 dogs that will corner you with their model hitboxes, and capra does an unblockable jump attack that does half your health the second you enter, witch will most likely get you your first time or 2. However, bosses like Ornstein and Smough (hardest in base game), Gwyn if you can't/don't want to parry, and on your first few playthroughs; the gargoyles, and quelaag, or even the stray demon, are quite hard for most players, if you don't get the blackknight halberd or something.

@@bmxgu2361 capra demon is really easy to dodge.

i saw one on my second run through and was like wtf is that
