Beat the wolf on my first retry today! Yus! 40,000 souls all mine. Figured out that rolling was an easy way to dodge his double spin move.
Quelaag's next on my hit list. Had her down to half health and would've killed her but I got stuck right up in her face, standing in a pool of lava. Was trapped and had nowhere to move. The zweihander is amazing.

I pretty much just stood in the pools of lava and hacked away.

Maneater Mildred will basically kill Quelaag for you if you summon her.

Mildred was as useless as a nun's tits in the fight for me.

If nothing else, Mildred will hold aggro.
Anyway, doesn't summoning help increase the HP of the boss?

I don't summon help. It feels like it'd be cheating. I'll kill the bitch on my own.

Killed Quelaag and Ceaseless Discharge this morning before work. Lost all of my Quelaag souls to CD though as I ran right by the nearby bonfire and didn't level up.
Can I trust Quelaag's sister to upgrade my estus flask? Knowing this game, she could do a runner with it.

Tanked Four Kings on my very first go with Lightning Zwei +5 and Smough's armor. Celebrated by killing Ash Lake Hydra in one go.

Restarted this on Xbox 360 as it's free there now for Gold members (for two weeks). Decided to go the Zwei route and now I can one-hand it I'll start cranking up my END as that's apparently a great way to power yourself up early in DS1. strawberry floating Black Knights are only dropping Titanite Slabs though.

I got incredibly lucky on my first proper playthrough of Dark Souls. I managed to kill the first Black Knight you meet in Undead Burg very early in the game by repeatedly backstabbing him and got the Black Knight Sword right away. I equipped it as soon as I was strong enough and the rest as they say was history

Also tanked Nito, Sanctuary Guardian and Knight Artorius in one go.
Bed of Chaos was awful, it's like they suddenly decided to make a platform game thirty hours in. Running around Chasm of the Abyss at the moment unsure what I'm doing or what's going on.
I can't tell if I've gotten good or it's purely down to my equipment.

Yeah that happened to me. I think I used a a lightning buff and agro and flee tactic. I ground for ages in the Burg tho cos I didn't understand the game.

I might have cheated a little if I'm to be completely honest... I didn't understand the game at all to begin with and got as far as the Belfry Gargoyles before realising I shouldn't have killed Solaire. I used the Bottomless Box glitch to start the game with a Drakesword which made killing that first Black Knight a lot easier.

I dunno how/why you killed him.
And yes that makes you a bad man.
I think I was just using a battle axe at the time.

Well since nearly everything in the game to that point had been out to kill me I thought "gooseberry fool, a knight! I'd better kill him before he attacks me". It never occurred to me until I Googled it later on that he might be friendly.
