What Happens When an Elden Ring Player Tries Dark Souls For the First Time?!

An Elden Ring player tries Dark Souls for the first time!
Today I finally tried out the game that started the series off. Dark Souls 1. Dark souls is considered one of the best souls games of all time and I have never seen gameplay of it or played it before making this a completely new experience for me! Do I have what it takes to beat one of the best souls games of all time?

⁠@@quintitif you don’t reuse assets that you developed over multiple games you can file for bankruptcy immediately. They reused their assets really smart, for example the parasite things in DS3 were reused to make ulcerated tree spirits. The thing is that 99% don’t even notice it until someone points it out. Elden ring is a big world and still managed to make more new enemy types than all previous Fromsoft games before so I don’t get the frustration. Especially when you have Moonlight Blade wielding magic breathing dragons or dragons that catch a lightning and uses it as a sword and shit. I could go on and on, but Elden ring was ambitious as heck and still delivered. The re using of assets is just absolute standard practice in game development

Yeah, I'm currently replaying Ds 1 after 3 Elden Ring, 5 Ds 2 and 2 Ds 3 playthroughs after a good 1.5 years and it felt so weird that you couldn't teleport anywhere right off the bat. It was also suprising to see that I killed bosses first try now that I struggled for hours and days with on my first few playthroughs. I really appreciate Dark Souls 1. It has a special vibe to it, knowing the lore of the later games, it really is interesting to walk among these huge, ''legendary" figures like Gwyn and Artorias.

Also seeing a playthrough where the guy is going in completely blind feels weird nowadays! Normally I'd expect seeing people get the master key, get the Astora's Straight sword, buy fire bombs and a bow from the merchant, use said firebombs and a plunging attack to kill the Taurus Demon, use the bow to get the Drake's sword, use the master key to unlock the door to Havel, kill Havel, kill the merchant to get the Uchigatana, go down to the lower undead burg, release Griggs, kill the Capra Demon, release the pyromancy seller at the entry to depths and get the Large Ember ,kill the Gargoyles, kill the moonlight butterfly, buy the crest of Artorias, level up int to be able to use Fall Control, go back to the undead asylum, kill the Stray Demon with the Uchigatana, get all the items on undead asylum, use the Valley of Drake's shortcut to skip most of Blightown, kill Maneater Mildred, use Maneater Mildreds summon to easily off Queelag, Ring the second bell, use the bonfire next to the daughter of chaos covenant, cheese Ceaseless Discharge, make your way back to Firelink, kick Lautrec down a cliff, rush the catacombs without resting in a Bonfire, kill pinwheel, use a homeward bone to go back to Firelink, level a curved sword to at least +6, go to Sen's fortress, get the covetous silver serpent ring, release Big Hat Logan, get the lightning spear, summon Iron Tarkus to fight Iron Golem, go to Anor Londo, rest at the Darkmoon Tomb Bonfire, get the Havel set, get the silver knight set, level the curved sword to +10 and use it to make Queelag's Fury Sword, equip the silver knight set and Queelag's Fury Sword, summon Solaire to fight O&S, then do Painted World and proceed to the second half of the game

Gravelord is a NG+ things mostly. In NG+ if those summon signs show up in your world it also spawns black enemies that are super strong. You can despawn those enemies by invading and killing the gravelord servant. In NG the hard enemies don't spawn so it's just for making fight clubs. Also the hard enemy sign wasn't talking about that boss you missed the enemy because you didn't start master key so you needed to actually get whatever the correct key is to open the door in that tower.
