Beat Vordt on my third try. Honestly think it(?) was easier than the first boss.


good job!

the first boss really punishes being timid and gives people trouble. the farther away from him you get the harder he is, while if you get right up in his face he's not too bad.

That's some good game design if I've ever seen it.

There's a reason his name means "judge", he's who decides if you're worthy to play the rest of the game.

That's actually really cool.

Progress update: Took out the entirety of the cult surrounding the bonfire, broke into the prison, got spooked by the new enemy, dropped into the secret passage, am now a member of Warriors of Sunlight, whatever that means, got spooked by a well-done jumpscare, got spooked again by the new enemy, got assaulted on all fronts, ran the fuck out of there, encountered the ballista, said "fuck this shit", and warped back to the shrine.

Correct, I haven't died since I got to the Undead Settlement.

Haven't read the entire thread, so I apologize if my tips are repeated:

-Buy a controller. If you don't have one. X1 controllers probably have more native support on PC, but you can make a DS4 controller work as well. Just find one on sale. It really will change your experience of the game.

-Quality is a good build for a beginner. This means leveling strength and dexterity equally to about 40. Don't neglect vitality and endurance (in fact, I'd probably level this first, unless you have a weapon you don't meet requirements on that you're interested in using).

-You can summon someone to help on a boss fight if you get stuck. Always do your best to try and do it yourself, as that's most rewarding IMO. But if it's just frustratingly hard, just summon help and move on. You'll most likely replay through Dark Souls or play the other titles by the end of it all. It's an addicting formula.

If you summon, only summon one person. A boss's health scales with the number of people and if you summon 3 it just gets annoying. 1 summon is enough as being able to trade the aggro is what makes the difference anyhow.

You only really need dex at about 15, and there's a ring that'll boost it to 18. That will allow you to use most dex based weapons.

+1 buying a cheap 360 controller from Gamestop or something, but I guess if you're not having too much trouble now, mouse and keyboard works.

Just know that 40 is the soft cap for the 4 offense stats (str, dex, faith, and int). I'd say focus on two of those depending on what build you want to go for. If you're content with just a melee "quality" build, pump str and dex. No matter what build you're going for, just know that there is a covenant you can use a bit later that lets you reallocate your stats, but you will lose out on an NPC's sidequest unless you clear that sidequest before joining the covenant.
