Dark Souls Wiki

alright guys, i need some outside input. I beat ds1 (my first souls fromsoft game) about 3 weeks ago and it was amazing, i loved it so much, i had originally planned on playing ds2 afterwords (dont come after me telling me not to play it) but my older brother has bloodborne on his playstation so i decided to play bb first because im currently broke and dont have the money to buy ds2 lol. anyways ive beaten father gascoigne and and im at the area a bit aways from the cathedral and ive been enjoying the game pretty well, however its just not scratching the dark souls itch enough for me. Should i just suck it up and keep playing bb or should i buy ds2?

hey this is my first playthrough. i have a blackknight sword with 220 damage and this with 164. the total damage of this is about 220 but the BKS is like above 300 with my stats. I really like this weapon. Should I upgrade this or BKS later(i dont have twinkling titanite). I have the Halberd at +5 and iam starting Sens fortress. I confused on whether i should normal upgrade it or raw. I also have a drake sword but i wanna keep my dragon scales for weapons later on. the DS has 200 damage and its light sure but for some reason it stays at 200 with my stats.

"Dark Souls 2 probably bears the Souls series’ closest resemblance to Elden Ring. Design wise, both Dark Souls 2 and Elden Ring stressed open-ended gameplay and ditched linear progression."
Miyazaki agrees and in fact goes a step further.
“In regards to Dark Souls 2, I actually personally think this was a really great project for us, and I think without it, we wouldn’t have had a lot of the connections and a lot of the ideas that went forward and carried the rest of the series.”

As someone who played Demon Souls first and then this game I gotta say that Demon Souls is way better imo. First half of Ds1 was just as good if not better but the second half dropped the ball so hard by mostly removing its best feature (the interconnected world) and shoving a bunch of terrible clearly unfinished garbage like lost izaltih down my throat. Hopefully DS2 is better

I started playing this game for the first time recently. I have played the Demon’s Souls remake and Elden Ring, and I love both of those games. I am blown away by Dark Souls Remastered so far. I am currently facing Seath the Scaleless in Crystal Cave. I love this game so much, and I want to fully explore all of its secrets. Praise the Sun!

Been playing through DS1 remastered for the first time and I am wondering what yall think about DS2 for whenever I finish the first game, I've heard Scholar of the First Sin is basically a hard mode that comes off super unfair, as someone who has played through the majority of Elden Ring's content, would OG DS2 be worth the extra 30 or so dollars, or would the challenge of Scholar be justified for someone of my skill level while also staying fun (and cheap)?

For new players this game may be hard, tiring and insufferable, but mark my words yall undead on pilgrimage:
Today yall may be frightened by the size and power of a huge demon awaiting you behind some big door, however one day when fighting a boss who exists ages in the future, you'll hear three notes which will make you remember all the hard times when you thought that something is unbeatable, all the people and undead you have met in the past and -if you are like me- a strange sense of nostalgia will fill you, in that moment you shall see for yourself that overcoming all these hardships was truly worth it. So, go on, kill that thing you "can't beat" and then kill another one, simple as that. Good luck, and: "Don't you dare go hollow"

So what's with the hackers thingy lately? Recently I find quite often players immune to any damage playing online and servers don't ban them at all.

I NEED HELP!! I'm stuck in an advanced area of ​​the catacombs, I can't walk back since I fell from above going to the bone smith area. I then went ahead and beat the first boss, but once I did, continuing with extreme difficulty given my low level, I found myself facing a wall of golden fog. I watched some videos on YouTube, and I saw that the player teleported from the bonfires, which was never possible for me, and isn't possible at the moment. I can therefore neither walk back nor move forward, I don't have the slightest idea of ​​what I have to do to return to the area of ​​the initial bonfire, which is currently out, because the firekeeper is missing.(sorry for my bad english)

I constantly replay the first half of the game from the beginning to defeating Ornstein and Smough and then struggle to try to find the motivation to finish it from there. I can replay the first half over and over and never get bored, but the second half... I feel like I have to FORCE myself to play it, I still have beaten it several times but still.

12 years later and damn, Dark Souls really isn't a good game. Not revolutionary either, it's just a poor attempt at Ninja Gaiden but for wannabe hardcore gamers and weeb cosplayers who could never git gud and defeat the first enemy in Ninja Gaiden Black. Ironic that the actual Ninja game ends up being less weebish than this game too.

Community sucks too and like to overexaggerate about the replayability of the games. They're effectively dead whereas games like Zelda Ocarina of Time, A Link to the Past etc are still being actively played despite having loads of new entries in the franchise including the recent two ones which are some of the best selling games of all time.

From Software games are effectively the signature of soyjak at this point and a company that is a one trick pony since all their other games are rated either negatively or mid. And it's funny how it takes other games like Nioh to show From Software how a game like this should really be done.

Seethe and rage From fansboys. You know this is all the truth and that even all these years later, you can't even kill the first enemy in Ninja Gaiden let alone get to the first boss lol.

I wish they had an update that helped the online mode long term. Of course you can still find forums and the dedicated pvp spots with some light traffic. It is what it is, this game is really old and for a clunky online system it had a great run back when everyone was playing. The online days will always live on in memory.

Great game with unique online mechanics like vagrants or gravelording. You can play it hundred times and still you'll find something new. Many weapons, armors and upgrades to choose from, combined with fully free stat distributing allows you to create any build you like. All of this gives DS1 great replayability potential and option to make more daring challenge runs.

Submit

What? You can't sell items?!

i would recommend people to learn the janky PvP its pretty fun but super toxic to new players. it is backstab sim but its worth the time and effort to "git gud" very fun. come to the township im there everyday

Dark Souls is one of the games of all time. It is playable that's what I like about this game. I also like how it has mechanics. This game, Dark Souls, is definitely one of the games of all time. I rate this game a rating.

Submit

Dark Souls is one of the best games of all time, and would certainly be in my top 5, but it's far from being perfect

Submit

Lots of comments here are just memes and jokes lately. This is some actual input about the game.

Dark Souls is nothing short of perfection. Its high difficultly does not make it a bad video game, but the opposite. One of the core themes of Dark Souls is perseverance. In the overwhelming world of Lordran, you're faced with an experience that makes you tremble. While at the same time, you are comforted by those around you, pushing you to keep going. You must take it upon yourself to change the world itself, fulfilling the fate of the Chosen Undead.

The characters are exciting, the bosses are engaging, and the world of Dark Souls burns within the soul of the player. This game was the trend-setter for most RPG's known today. Dark Souls is one of the most detailed, immersive, and humbling video games a person could ever play.

This game is scary (and not because of the difficulty).
