I had forgotten how much the second half of the game drags. Think it's because the areas don't feel connected to the early game maybe.
The colour of the lava in Lost Izalith is assaulting my eye balls. Terrible design choice.
I got really stuck on Demon Firesage
literally the hardest boss I've fought so far took me 5 or 6 attempts. Had to wear Havel set and tank him into a corner so he would get stuck cycling his butt drop move to beat him.
I've never managed to save Solaire so I'm determined to do that this time.
Also popped into New Londo to get the big Ember so now my mace is +14. Had a crack at 4 Kings but got stuck even with witch wifey.
