Yeah, Ad, a couple of folk on the stream advised me to use lighter attacks so that I have enough stamina remaining to quickly move away.

. This did happen a couple of times; I got a couple of hits in, became a bit excited and forgot about moving away!

I guess the Zweihander is gained by
running through the graveyard area? I dunno if I want to attempt that, Mafro!

I think that's the trick, Karl; getting close enough to make a hit but then moving back quickly. I aim to keep going and hopefully I'll get a better feel for the Gargoyle(s) movement.

Okay, big decision time.Apparently I consumed
something (a soul gem?) that I should have kept and handed over to the guy
by the Firelink shrine so that he could
reinforce my Estus Flask. Is this such a bad move that I should consider restarting the game? I don't want to struggle on if having a
reinforced flask would make a big difference.
