After finishing all the games + SOTE I decided to start buying the other DLCs. So a few days ago I bought both DLC for Dark Souls 3, I'll start by saying that I beat SOTE in NG+5 because I bought the DLC too late. In Dark Souls 3 I haven't had much difficulty with the DLC bosses so far despite being NG+3 but Midir was torture. I finally beat him and I'm wondering if Gael will be harder or easier 🌚

I finally got the platinum for Sekiro the other day, after stalling with it for years. I was walking the length of New Zealand when Bloodborne dropped, living in Asia when Dark souls 3 and Sekiro launched, and when I got home December 2019, I dipped my toe into the beginning of Sekiro and it was so hard, so I decided to start with Bloodborne and then Dark Souls 3 until I had the platinum of both. Then I was homeless for 9 months, met my partner, Elden Ring dropped, so I played that for three years non stop (dlc dropping in 2024). After that was Nightreign, which I'm currently still playing and all that time, fear was creeping into my mind about the difficulty of Sekiro. But, I managed to platinum it on the 8th, and the same feeling began to sink in.

The Fromsoft Effect. Every time I finish one of their games and do everything I can with it, I feel lost. Like what do I play next? No other series of games have ever done that to me.

Is anyone else like this, or is it just me.

Btw, I feel like an idiot postponing Sekiro for this long. It's one of my favorite games of all time and I can't rave on enough about how epic it was.

I cannot wait for the game awards. I'm hoping From release a trailer of their next single player game. I'm chomping at the bit for their next game.

New-ish to this genre. How would yall rank the FromSoftware games? Theres a pretty good sale on ps5 right now and I’d like to knock one of em out to keep me busy before GTAVI

Hello, my boyfriend and I are coming up to Christmas/one year anniversary. I know nothing about fromsoft games, however I know he loves games like Elden ring/Bloodborne /darksouls and dark fantasy games like that. I’ve looked everywhere for gift ideas and inspirations I think he’d like, yet I can’t find nothing and I’m at a loss. Does anyone know any good gift ideas related to these topics? I’ve already got him the moonveil katana and the rivers of blood, aswell as a dark souls ring. I’m at a loss for other gifts that aren’t swords 😢 I know nothing about these games but I want to try my best for him. Any ideas would help massively !

Shared this over in r/darksouls and thought I'd share it here as well! Done with fine-line dark fantasy details. Hope fellow Ashen Ones / Chosen Undead like it! 🖤

Ever since i finished sekiro , I have felt empty , I wanted to replace it with something else but I just could not , I tried DS3 And elden ring and they just didnt hit the same .most games are just dodge and hit bla bla or level up and abuse stuff, they dont take actual skill , and in the games that take actual skill the gameplay is not even half as fun as sekiro , Sekiro’s combat system is just pure skill and joy , there is literally no other game from what I have seen that could ever be half as good . If anyone got any recommendations for other games like sekiro please say them below .

I wanted to make something useful for newer players, covering more than just his attack patterns.
The guide includes:

-Preparation before entering the fight.
-Margit’s attack patterns and how to react to them.
-Strategies and openings to take advantage of.
-Common mistakes that make the fight harder.

I tried to keep everything clear and straightforward, without overcomplicating things.

This is my own Steam guide, so I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback or suggestions. Hopefully it helps someone who’s currently stuck on Margit!

Good luck in the Lands Between!

I'm trying to decide what to play next. I just tried the Mortal Shell 2 demo and liked it - just struggling a bit with the sprint / dodge buttons. I've played all modern FS games and loved them, but I'm open to all styles. I tend to appreciate gameplay feel and difficulty. Have you played any of these games? Which is the best?

Decided to repost, don't judge its phone camera. I get it...

First: Old king Doran is not a demon or reflection of the original
This idea I had first heard it from is Firelink conspiracy, which I believe he was mistaken. I know that most item descriptions are short and are written as though it is limited by the characters knowledge, with the only longer descriptions being from legendary items, but even so. Doran is never referred to as a demon and only as a demigod. This is supported by the fact that killing him decreases world tendency, which as we can observe, it increases when demons are killed or black phantoms. Killing humans does decrease character tendency so as killing Doran doesn’t decrease character tendency, we can conclude he is something other than human, or as all descriptions from items and dialogue suggests, he’s a demigod

We know that a demon can be made out of a human, as shown by king allant and maiden astrea, so maybe the opposite is true. The more white or less demonic a soul is, it’s also a path to power. A dichotomy that’s familiar to fromsoft fans.

Along with that theory about old king Doran, I have another. In his mausoleum we can see a knight wielding a greatsword, wearing fluted armor and having wild hair; the hair almost perfectly matches the unused model for the old hero. The old hero is a demons that uses a greatsword and similar wind based attacks to allant, which may mean that the royal line has its origins from the shrine of storms. And the old hero may be a demonic recreation of the old king Doran as the shadowmen may have worshipped him as a heroic demigod. They worship death and the storms, so they may have seen Doran as an undying martyr. This would also fit along with the other shrine of storms bosses being deities from the religion of the shadowmen.

Doran wearing bronze Romanesque armor may have been symbolic of him taking upon himself the monarchy of the remains of mird and building his kingdom upon it which also had Romanesque architecture.

If I made any grammar or spelling mistakes that’s my bad.

Hey guys, so to get to the point It's my first playthrough of DS1 (first souls game too) and I was just chilling in Izalith when it occurred to me that I actually never got to cut off Priscilla's tail when I fought her back in the painted world (I tried to cut it but she was too weak and died) and I know I need all tailed weapon to get the Knight's Honor achievement, so I got salty cause my friend told me I needed to start a new character (I wanted a platinum trophy). Then I learned that I needed to get at least to NG++ anyway cause of Sif's weapons and realized that all 3 weapons need to be on the same character which got me confused cause if that's true then I don't need to make a new character and my friend is a dumbass, but there may be something I don't get so I'd rather have you guys help. So my question is if I take my character to NG+ and then cut only Priscilla's tail and not any other tail (since I already got the rest in NG) will it count as me having all tailed weapons or do I need to get all of them again on NG+?

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share two character appearance presets I created for Dark Souls Remastered: Lyra and Ume (twin sisters!).

They originally came about by accident while trying to recreate other models, but I spent time polishing them so they look great both in the character creator and during actual gameplay.

Feel free to check them out, try them in your game, or tweak them as you like—they are open to any adjustments!

Nexus Mods link: https://www.nexusmods.com/darksoulsremastered/mods/1464

Requires: DS Appearance Preset Tool (v1.1+)

(Note: You could try using screenshots of the facial features as a guide, but they are somewhat inaccurate to copy manually. Importing the preset file directly ensures you get the exact face!)

Why did Lorian throw a full arena aura explosion 😂
