I've had less progress because of vacation and finally getting a PS5, but here's what I've done since last time.

I finished exploring Darkroot Gardens, which involved taking down Sif, a boss I knew existed beforehand because of Pokemon Sword. Optional, but fun boss. It was pretty difficult, I felt like I was here a little early, because it had a very common spin attack that used up all my endurance and then damanged me some, but I amanged to beat it.

Sen's Fortress is up next. I didn't have much trouble with it, expected much worse. I died twice only. The first was from running into a boulder (yes, it had just hit me and damaged me very little, so I thought trying to run past it was possible, but that damaged me way more for some reason). The other time was from the resulting fire in a boulder thrown by some giant that looked a billion times more intimidating than he was. I think I've explored everything here, but it's a bit hard to be sure. I'm really enjoying using the lightning spear I found here, you can block while attacking and the lightning damage seems quite effective. Iron Giant was quite easy, validating my idea that I took on Sif too early.

Suddenly, I've arrived in Anor Londo. I don't know if this was some milestone in the game, but it popped a trophy. Place is huge. You need to not have the whole city in the background or the game starts lacking. Nothing like Blighttown, but still a minor issue. I had fun with the area for a while, but this area also had the single worst part of the game so far, which was running on thin platforms while some knights were shooting spear sized arrows at you. I feel down I don't know how many times, miraculously managed to recover each time though, and often enough it was because the physics straight up didn't make sense. The current camera angle seems to influence the way you're falling, I was often hit by a spear and then forward towards where it hit me from which meant down and to my death. This game should stop trying to have platformning sections. As soon as I got inside, it was fun enough though. Found a blacksmith here and got myself a weapon with fire damage. Also found armor and a huge bow that I'm not strong enough to use. Finally, I invaded Lautrec, confirming my idea that he murdered the person under the bonfire in the hub area, but got my ass kicked be him and his men twice. It's not very risky though, you don't lose anything, you just get kicked out.
