Bloodborne really destroyed this franchise. Fuck that game.
I think its fanboys, Bandai and From have. Maybe it's too quick to assume, but probably fanboys like you. :salute:

Excidium II , the only entry to arguably pander to fan cries was DS3. Not even DS2 did that (it's shitty, but original).

lol. so sullynathan is a certified weeaboo?! hahahaha

I used two Hand Axes (upgraded to fire and lightning respectively later on), Reinforced Club (upgraded to fire later on) and Pyromancy, the latter of which felt like cheating towards the end and made O&S and Artorias relatively easy. Grass Crest and Crest shields were also helpful.

The hardest boss for me was Manus I think, followed by Gwyn, since I suck at parrying (I refuse to learn it for some reason), and Quelaag (that thing has a ton of health to deal with at SL1). Edit: I also died an unreasonable amount of times against the Stray Demon. That was so ridiculous I almost called it quits at that time, lol.

Was really quite enjoyable overall and isn't that hard. I must admit I did some farming for titanite and to upgrade the Pyromancy Flame though. It made me respect speedrunners and guys who play through the game without dying even more.

On the internet, writing shit posts.
That damage is stupidly high for a SL1 lol

Yeah, I noticed that.
By the looks of it, he's using a Red tearstone ring + ring of blades + bright bug + gold pine resin. This is on NG, going by the absence of ads in the sentry and sinner fights, so bosses don't have bloated health values.
though how he got a blossom shield and 99 alluring skulls without beating the game is unknown to me.

Idk didn't play 2 too much really. Ain't there any kind of glitch to get many of the same item?
Hes averaging a wooping 650 per hit against bosses, crazy.

Don't you get red tesrstone ring in Shaded Woods? He has it in the first boss fight? Bright bugs are also a limited resource early in the game. Wasn't lightning damage also nerfed at some point, so possible he's playing with an unpatched game? Seems people either traded him upgraded Axe and all those items or he cheated to get them at beginning of game.

Yeah, that's a possibility. It also means he's playing offline, because From apparently implemented a system that softbans you if you use cheat engine to give you free stuff when playing online.

Started playing again...Elite Knight set with 2hand Zwei. God damn it, this game is fun, its areas and level design better than 2 or 3. So far so good, started a bit rusty so got the raep from the gargoyles but soon as I remembered to swing the zwei like a champ I got'em. Got Moonlight Butterfly 3rd attempt, Vagina Dragon 3rd attempt, Queelag 4th attempt, couldn't get fucked searching the levels for every item. Just sort of running to the boss. Probably going to Sen's Funhouse next or maybe the Catacombs for some good laughs (no divine weapons).

Btw which weapons apart from zwei are good for pancaking?
