Feels like it so far. Its the only boss fight to kill me besides Crapa being Crapra. I got really close with my first attempt but all others I just end up getting hit by one of the other kings. Its a ballache.

4Kings is a lame fight im sorry to say; its a DPS race. im now wondering how LobosJR and other challenge run streamers deal with it.

Yeah. Even with pine resin and blossom I cant seem to keep up with the spawning. Eventually one of them gets me in the back. I might have done better if I'd carried on pumping my str and dex up but they hit 40 a long time ago. Its another reason I dont like NL, no bonfire that nearby for a fight thats not very good.

It's gonna take me a while to edit the video of me going mad in New Londo so here is my quite sloppy in places O&S fight. Now with added annoying voice!

4K is a great fight in NG. Lots of fights check that you have a specific capability so I don't think 4K checking that you can deal damage fast makes it bad. There are lots of options for dealing more damage (Darkmoon Blade etc?) and also a high burst damage NPC summon who can help a lot.

I've never bothered with NG+ so it's possible they were buffed to an unreasonable degree in that mode!

Done it first time..... today 8-)

Unfortunatly I realised I didnt have the geforce instant replay feature on :fp:

I went and got the anti magic ring from the guy at Sens and ditched the Havel Ring. This along with some pine resin and blossom. I really needed that ring as near the end it spammed the grab and area purple attack attack. Both are highly irritating. It just meant I spent less time healing and more attacking. It nearly all went pear shaped at the end when I went to capture the footage and realised I couldnt. Went back to the game and the 4Kings wasnt dead! :lol:

Turned out I needed to hit a fifth one just once to win. :slol:

Maybe its better balanced further on (I'm not sure how given how little stats can improve now) but I wanted to meet Kaathe so am doing this before picking up the Lordvessel.

I got a bit bored last night so surprise surprise I started Dark Souls again. I’m doing a full deprived run where I can only equip the plank shield and club that you start with plus any rings I pick up.

I’m doing all right so far, killed Taurus then looted the graveyard. Next on the agenda is the gargoyles. I’m not sure I’ll finish the whole run but we’ll see.

Sekiro finished! i got the Immortal Severance ending.
this would be my ranking now:

Dark Souls
Bloodborne
Sekiro
Dark Souls 3
Dark Souls 2

i actually died more to Genichiro than Isshin :fp:

Congrats Matt on slaying Knight Artorias :toot:

I’m still cracking on with Bloodborne, defeated Rom last night. I had an absolute nightmare in the Forbidden Woods, which resulted in me losing 80,000 blood echoes, I’ve never been so angry in my life.

My PlayStation 4 has died and I don’t have my Bloodborne file backed up ...

I’m getting the “cannot access system storage” message. Anyone help?

oh no

tried this? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... OcEJ7_COSb

Tried it

I haven’t got my save backed up to anything either. I’m doomed, aren’t I?

Hee! I recall you streamed a level/area of Dark Souls without armour and using a really weak weapon (a spoon or something?!?) and you did really well! These different runs are pretty neat to watch.

Congrats on the completion, face-dude!

Oh no, 'bones. Could be worth looking at these options for checks / solutions:

Thanks Jawa, I’ll have a look. I’m not particularly technical, so I don’t hold much hope. I’m gutted about losing my Bloodborne save.

Don't think I've posted this.

It's been really fun to play DS2 and have people come to hang out. I like the game (sorry Matt :lol:

) and probably wouldn't have bothered if not for these streams - thanks to all who've dropped by. :wub:

I'll be a bit busy for a week or so now, but I'm hoping to continue my adventures soon!

Your late-night Souls 2 streams have been really cool, Karl, and I'm looking forward to seeing more when you have the time :-).

just you wait

Also thanks for tuning into my NG+ streams. This was the highlight of the end- https://www.twitch.tv/mattking85/clip/S ... ySaladUWot
