Frog Yeah, I should have said toughest fight I've managed to beat! Have stumbled into various mini-boss encounters and been one-shotted straight away too.

Have enjoyed my Prisoner run so far. Upping DEX/INT and the spells give me a range option for when all the fuckers get too scary up close. I realise now my health/FP are starting to feel stupidly low now though and any slightly tougher enemies are close to one-shotting me. If there's an optimal way to do this I am sure it won't be whatever muppet my bloke ends up as!

Do starting keepsakes matter? I've chosen Confessor btw. You've probably chosen by now, but I'd recommend stoneward keys

Anyone else got the sword from Leonine? It looks BRUTAL but it needs more STR than I suspect I'll ever get to

My absolute favourite sound in the game so far is in the castle, when you twat the stupid warning-horn sentries mid-toot

Jambo, if you're as seasoned as I am in being shit at Souls games, you're going to love this. All of the frustration of not being able to get past the boss that's blocking your path seems to have gone so far. I've had the time of my life just exploring, trying things out, NOPEing the fuck out when necessary only to find some other cool thing to try.
It's astonishing once you get your head around the idea that the open world is remarkably (relatively) safe.

Had my first heart pounding, down to the wire optional boss battle just now, against a seriously aggressive giant boss bear , in a cave in Weeping Peninsula. Bloody hell, took me four tries but finally managed it thanks to the Carian Slicer spell, such an awesome little spell that!

As Polygon pointed out, it looks like the Iron Throne remade as a sword. A sword of swords.

It staggers most bosses crazy quick for crit hits. Think the damage is 270ish + 180ish (scaling). So many large enemies you can just break so quickly with heavy attacks.

Doh when you join a game to help at a MAIN boss and it's their first attempt so you have to watch the long cut scene

Despite a slight frustrating trip to the mine (which I’ll come back to later) , I made a bit of forward progress. Got to Stormhill, and met the crucible knight . Fuck him. Found some decent items though. Will see about finding this Margit everyone seems to be talking about tomorrow. Oh and I met the dragon in the lake . Got him down to about a quarter then died. Will go back to that tomorrow too.

Here's me chillin' teleporting to a certain area so I grab a handful of crisps and shove them in my mouth. I look up not holding the controller and think "why am I gold like I'm in co-op" then a god damn red Npc Invader bum rushes me. Cue the crisps falling on the floor as I leap into action, grabbing the controller with salty fingers and fumble my way to victory.
On another note I have some seriously sick looking intelligence based swords etc that I can't wait to try on my next character

My skills are a bit rusty and I'm trying to remember I can jump as a legitimate tactic. Artistically it is quite stunning I must say.

After about 20+ attempts I killed the glowy tree thing at the end of the dungeon with the death chariot. Killed the chariot too. And the reward was... something I'll never be able to use! Hooray!

Hang on to it as you might be able to use it later on... there are options to respec, and also ways to singificantly buff your stats.

On another note I have some seriously sick looking intelligence based swords etc that I can't wait to try on my next character Do tell , I need one for my Astrologer! So, with my astrologer I did loads of exploring around Liurnia of the Lakes and did Rya's quest , I was looking for and found Carian Knight's Sword which I thought you could just nab. It's on the back of a stagecoach wagon being pulled by two Trolls and guarded by 20 odd Knights so I got smashed to bits every time I tried to get it. Eventually gave up and went back to my Confessor. Helped people to kill Margit and eventually killed Margit too. I now can level up 4 times, I have Vig and Mind at 13, Str and Fth at 17, Unsure whether to pump it all in Vig, share it around or concentrate on Faith and Strength. Hmm..
