The download of #DarkSouls took much longer than expected, but now I'm past the Asylum Demon and heading for the Undead Burg.

Wahaha. And I fell for it again. The first bonfire in the Burg makes an enemy respawn that'll backstab you. 🤣

Getting killed for being too cocky for the Taurus Demon. Alright, back to drop attacks, I guess. 😅

I was doing pretty awful damage anyway.

@mforester I had already been considering it... I may go for a new run in May or June. This time I want to beat Ornstein and Smough without requesting Solaire's help 😅

@hk I did that the first time. 😬

I don't think I knew about NPC summons back then and the PS3 wasn't hooked up to the internet. Or it didn't work properly.

It took me about a billion tries. I remember spending an entire day in front of the TV going into the arena and getting smashed until way late around 3 in the morning.

But I also remember beating it the next day and the feeling I got from that. 😁

@mforester In my playthrough last year (first time I played the game) I tried fighting them by myself once, and seeing that I got completely obliterated I decided to give Solaire a try to have some more room to learn the attack patterns and be able to beat them alone... And instead of that I ended up beating them on that try because Solaire got all the aggro from Smough so I fought a 1:1 against Ornstein, which turns out to be fairly easy, and then the second phase was also pretty straightforward 😅

So yeah, next time I'll go for it alone 😂
