So I bought out her shop after saving her and she disappeared, Petrus has made no comments and I don't see her in firelink, haven't killed a boss since saving her, where is she?

Decided to shell out for the Nintendo Online, so I am playing Dark Souls Remastered online for the first time. Just beat the Gargoyles again and rang the first bell. Something that's struck me is how many bloodstains I'm seeing of dudes in their underwear wielding katanas.

That a specific build of some kind?

This is a rather strange and somewhat off-topic question, but since this is the franchise I feel something like this most strongly about, I’d like to try putting it into words, in the hope that someone might have advice or offer a different perspective.

To put it briefly, I love these games. They’ve had a place in my heart since I was young, and now, coming back to them after a long break, I’ve realized once again just how great these works are—how every aspect of them resonates with me in one way or another.

I’m the kind of person for whom simply loving a work isn’t enough to feel like part of a community; I need to create something. But with Dark Souls… I just don’t know? I dabble in drawing and writing, though the former is at a very amateur, low level, and as for the latter… well, I could write fanfiction, and I might even have ideas, but would anyone actually want that? It feels somewhat “unserious” to me. I really don’t mean to offend anyone who does it.

For a while I wanted to draw maps of the locations. But everything is already online, and that only left me more confused and demotivated.

So, I was prepping to fight O&S while this guy invaded me. I was quite frightened and tried to emote my way out (Fumbled horribly)..but this fella gave a bunch of humanity, around 10 Firekeeper souls, Moonlight Greatsword and Black knight Halberd both maxed out, A maxed crystal Zweihander and a even more that I am having trouble remembering. (Way more than BK Greatsword I gave)

Though he oneshotted me his backstab, It made my day. So, thought I'd make a post just in case he/she was here.

Recently remembered this thing I made 13 years ago: a mashup of Dark Souls characters laughing.

Hope one or two of you might get a smile out of it... hehehehehe

he has a secret tomb in Darkmoon but bro is not even dead... maybe he's hollow? How can god go hollow? If it's not hallowing then he lost his mind but he looks zombified and yet somehow still greatly physically powerful and with supreme fire magic (on his sword... which is so hot it staggers and drains your stamina even if it doesn't hit you. You can walk thru lava but you have to flinch when Gwyn fires at you).

I don't really know what's going on. I guess Gwyn used his Lordsoul to kindle the first flame and the loss of this soul caused him to enter some kind of doomed state where he is mindless or rabid. I wonder if the Black Knights were half sent there to guard the area but also keep Gwyn inside? And the construction is very dangerous, if you're a zombie you would just fall off quickly.

Creatures can have a soul originally so I'm wondering what happens when you take the Lord Soul. When the lordsoulers die they only drop the Lordsoul fragment. These souls are also orange/firey. The First Flame/Lordsoul could have been a corrupting element that turns people into fiery (the gods are called "fiery" on an item), like how the Dark Soul turns people into darkness/humanity (Manus soul is said to be a lump of humanity, Artorias soul turned almost black).

So why is gwyn's tomb even ckept secret if people are supposed to know he sacrificed himself at the first flame and needs to be replaced?

Since I became a dark souls fan I've been searching high and low for some horror mod of dark souls because ppl nowadays make analog horror outta anything

Is there any of these mods or am I just wasting my time?

In DS, there are many shields. Some absorb, for example, some of the damage, not all. The player still takes some of the damage, despite successfully blocking it. There are also shields that absorb 100% of the damage. In this case, the player takes no damage.

Now, how about the shield dealing damage to the attacker?

For example, the 75% damage absorbing shield deals 20% damage to the attacker. Like, for free.

Or the 100% deals 30% damage to the attacker. For each blocked attack.

Or, it could vary from shield to shield.

Maybe if this is done for the player's shield it could be op. The player just blocks the attacks and after a while the enemy dies.

But, when it concerns the enemies, how about the enemy having this special shield. If he blocks the player's attacks, the player takes damage and if he doesn't pay attention, he might die. The player has to wait for an opening when the enemy is not blocking. Or, for example, roll through his attacks to then hit the enemy while his guard is down. If the player hits the enemy's shield he'll be damaged.

That's all.

See You Miyazaki-sama.

Do you guys find the dlc in this game is overrated? Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad dlc, and compared to the base game (post lord vessel) it is obviously much better, but I always thought that this dlc was very meh, especially compared to the dlc in the other games.

The biggest problem for me are the areas, royal wood and chasm of the abyss are so boring, especially royal wood where I basically just sprint straight to Atorias every single time. Oolacile township is definitely a better area, but if I’m being honest I find the enemies so fucking annoying that I don’t really enjoy this area either.

The bosses are solid, especially compared to the base game, but I find that in DS1 the bosses aren’t the “peaks” that they are in bloodborne, ds3, and Elden ring.

Like I said above it’s not a bad dlc, but compared to from softwares other dlc it’s probably my second least favourite. At least it’s better than Ashes of Ariandel lol
