Current Events > Just started the Dark Souls DLC for the first time. (Spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

This is pretty sweet. Loving how it takes place in the past. I recognized Darkroot and the stone golems right away.

By Gwyn's beard. Artorias himself. Was expecting more of a lead up to this battle. Instead he's just there and wants to kill me. Which he did. :( RIP

At least it's easy to run back to him...

First time I fought Arty it was on a max NG+ cycle.

Bad times...

Artorias is probably my favorite fight in the Souls series

I can see why. Kudos to whomever did the animations and design of this boss.

Damn that must have sucked.

Well melee probably struggles more here. My INT Sorcery guy (with MGS in primary hand) pulled through after a couple tries getting his attacks down. Just popped CSM whenever he distances himself, and smacked him with CSS after an opening. It helps that he's wide open during every powering up phase to projectiles.

It did. Dying so easily is not conducive to learning.

Artorias is an amazing fight

The final boss of the DLC merks me every time, I've never beaten it.

When Artorias powers up do you think he's actually farting?

So the Abyss is actually... my god.

Anyway. Oolacile proper was pretty darn easy. Breezed through that.

Oh and also I kind of feel bad for killing Ciaran.....but dat armor tho. >_>

I always do an NPC genocide before completing the game anyways lol

Now I'm somewhere that's dark af. Time for Sunlight Maggot hat.

Aaaaaah why is humanity trying to hug me to death?!

Really? I beat him first try. Had Sif helping me and I had the DWGR so I dodged very well.
---

Manus grabbed me and I noped the fuck out of there with a bone. Not ready for this yet... going for Kalameet first.
---

The dragon was pretty tough, but damn what an exciting boss to fight. I'm shieldless so when you really get in the zone and you're dodging this way and that, reading the subtle boss movement clues... very fun boss.

I had medium roll but I realized I was exclusively using magic on Kalameet, so I ditched my MGS and when in catalyst only for fast roll.

Boss was down to a nugget of health when I ran out of castings. :0

So I dodge a flash of fire and scramble in my menu for a decent weapon to equip praying I don't die. By a miracle I survive and run in for a swipe or two at his legs for the W.

did u get its tail weapon?

No. Didn't seem worth the hassle for this build like Seath's was.

After a few tries and homeward boning out due to fear of CE arts in death, I just cheated and killed him before the fog door.

I totally gave up trying after a few tries of that as well. I was barely able to kill him. Next time I'll take Kalameets tail, though. Next time. I'm lying.

I share play all the DS games with my buddy, and he made that mistake for the first two games.

Starting with BB, he keeps a secondary character for DLC to grab trophies and familiarize himself with the level before diving in with his main.

That character's name? Planet Piss.

Fuck I didn't know the dlc had ds1 stuff in it. Now I wish I would've bought the dlc and ps+ to play that instead of destiny (although the new destiny is actually quite good)

Huh? This IS DS1.

Are you thinking DS3? (The DLC for that game is cool in its own right too)
