Someone's jelly they didn't think of the throw things from outside strategy

Also - early on you were trash talking me for being magic... how do you think magic and cast times do against Capra and dogs!

Forget Dark Souls Remastered this thread is turning into Dark Souls Redacted!

This never was the Dark Souls Remastered thread, it was just Dark Souls The Thread 2nd Edition.

Anyone playing the remaster instead of dsxfix supersampled from 4k at 60fps with a DS4 is doing it wrong.

Yeeeeah! I made it out of Blighttown .

On the way, I met the Quelaag boss . I had a few goes at defeating her but couldn't manage it at this time. Anyway, we explored more of Blighttown and - eventually - I made my way up... and up... and out! Into the mountains of Londor! I saw a huge dragon and I wasn't sure if it was dead; I skirted around it and saw five smaller blue dragons in the distance . I veered away from them and found my way back through a shortcut to the Firelink Shrine .

I then used a Firelink Soul the correct way this time i.e. reiniforced my Estus flask by speaking to the girl in the cave rather than just using it to get some souls! And I also visited the blacksmith to repair all my damaged gear.

A terrific session and, once again, thanks to the folks who cheered, jeered and provided the odd pointer .

I think what you've found is the Valley of the Drakes? The undead dragon is an optional "boss', but you can just spam it with arrows until it dies.

You can tackle those smaller drakes one at a time using a shield with high lightning resistance but don't bother taking on 2 or 3.

Oh! Yeah, that was it .

So that shortcut can be gone through with the master key - so you can "sneak" down to Quelaag as your first boss if you really wanted!

Quelaag as the first boss? Nah, too easy m8 - completed that bare handed.

It might be fun to do Quelaag first, but I've never figured out a compelling reason to -- the Demon Ruins don't have too much interesting in. I guess if you really want the Chaos Servant pyromancies? Or the Gold-Hemmed Black Set?

Speed run - you can kill Quelagg, go to Darkroot, to Andre and then Gargoyles. Misses out a lot of the faff

Mm, I guess if you're pro enough to do Quelaag right out the gate it would save a bit of time getting to her from the Parish.

Why she's easy?

(Can also go past her to Andre if you want to do some upgrading - would ruin your speed run.

I still can't believe people do 4kings first (or very early). There's no point beyound masochism.

No-one's a real pro until they've completed the game with the Dreamcast's fishing controller like I have.

Why always 16:00? I'm always working at that point and miss out on the Jolly Co-Operation between you and the chat.

4 is when the Dark Souls helpline opens

Some folk seem to like that start time... Karl likes to watch as he strolls leisurely across beaches and parks, whilst Matt enjoys seeing a tragedy unfold at that time. But, hey, I can be flexible; would an 18:30 time suit folk? Something to watch whilst wolfing down some dinner?

I wouldn't mind a bit later I'm exhibiting stuff for college tomorrow and might not be home by then.

Nah, you do what works for you bud. Don't go changing it for me.
