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.

Second try. I'll take it. 😅

Oops. Almost got killed by an undead soldier I ran past while typing. 😬

I swear one time I made it up to Quelag without getting killed once. I'm not terrible, but I've been better at this game.

Umm...okay. Don't anger the big knight dude on top of the tower at the beginning of the Undead Parish. I...forgot about him. 😅

I died more often than I care to admit, but now I've got a Scimitar+2. Let's rock.

Ah yes. Good old Lautreac. Bastard!

I'll deal with you later.

Alright. Rang the first bell in just under 2h with a little help from my bro Solaire. I have enough souls to upgrade my weapon to +5.

I feel pretty good about this.

But then again...I'm gonna take the hard route to and through Blighttown and I'm not looking forward to that. 😬

I never noticed this, at least not this clearly: the Undead Parish is the first area where they really test your patience.

You can run through the Asylum and Burg just fine, but everything in the Parish is put in chokeholds or ambushes to punish you for that.

The shield & spear soldier on the bridge, the rats, the soldier with boar in front of the gate, the hollow that taunts you into an ambush, the caped Knights...

Everything is just directly in your way.

Back to #DarkSouls.

Made a quick trip to the Moonlight Butterfly. I remember taking it down on my very first try way back when, but it killed me four times today. 😅

With the souls I bought a bunch of Titanite shards and "visited" the Undead Merchant. In other news: I now have a Uchigatana+5 and it slays. 😁

Currently looking at the streets of lower Undead Burg on my way to Capra.

Back to playing #DarkSouls for a bit. 5 minutes in and I'm already uncursed. I expected this to take way longer...

Also the butcher ambush is gone, so the fight up to the Burg wasn't as tough as I expected.

I initially planned to buy a Purging Stone off of the Undead Merchant, but 6000 souls!!! So I went through Firelink and up through the Parish to the bell tower to buy a cheaper one. Thanks to a Homeward Bone I'm back to where I was...uncursed. 😁
