Apparently you can bat enemy firebombs away with your weapon in #DarkSouls2.

Past in time, a lot of people (I'm include too) said "Dark Souls" is difficult that is not they can't try "Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup". It is stupidity harder than that. One bad step or action and the Death come to you quickly and your progress is over forever.

You know what? I've only played one Soulslike in 2026 and I'm getting the urge to do just that.

Question is, what?

I've never touched #DarkSoulsII and frankly I'm a little scared of the runbacks. 

I have played some #LordsOfTheFallen but hated the split-realities mechanic.

I've got #Thymesia ready to go on my Steamdeck but originally bounced off it before.

I've been meaning to take another run through #Sekiro as well. Maybe it's time I hit that one up?

What to do, what to do.

I've started my #DarkSouls2 journey.

Warriors in Dark Souls 2 have such a lame mid-game compared to mages

TLDR: my warrior fully upgraded their main weapon and now face a deficit of titanite chunks to upgrade other weapons, severely limiting my build in time when mages gain several new awesome spells as well as resources to upgrade their pyromancy flame and catalyst.

I’m replaying Dark Souls 2 (SotFS) after years of not touching the game and generally not spending much time with Souls-likes. I went for a warrior type, focusing on swords and crossbows. Despite not having access to any magic, I have a blast!

Yet, once the early game full of experimentations with weapons and drip fashion reached its’ end and I settled on a claymore +10 and a pretty looking “armor” set, my build became stale. I used up my titanite chunks on the claymore and I can’t gain more since the useless ore merchant can’t sell shit until you are 2 bosses away from winning. I have murakumo +7 and I switch to it sometimes but it’s hard to compete with a fully upgraded claymore.

The game throws twinkling titanite to me and I would love to use it on some cool weapon… but there are none! The only special weapon that could fit this build, Drangleic greatsword, is just worse than my claymore in terms of reach and moveset. Maybe it has a bit more damage when it’s fully upgraded but I’d still prefer the more convenient option.

Now, there are also boss weapons. Again, there’s only one that actually interests me - the flexile sentinel’s curved greatsword. It’s pretty similar to my murakumo except it weighs more and… that’s it? Stat scaling is a bit different but moveset seems identical. It looks cool though. But I dunno if it’s worth the investment. Are there other interesting boss weapons worth waiting for? I don’t really want to grind for petrified bones…

It’s especially aggravating because, when a mage reaches Drangleic castle, they get such a huge upgrade. Great combustion, several fire seeds, Soul greatsword, Firestorm, twinkling titanite for the best catalyst… it’s arguably the best part of the game for casters.

What the fuck!

I played so much #DarkSouls and learned so much of the lore but never realized that the undead are manufactured... It's literally in the item descriptions and in the opening scene!

Pues comenzamos ese Dark Souls 3.
- Tutorial: "Da la vuelta"
- Yo: "Mmmm 🤔, si dice que de la vuelta es porque seguro que quiere que siga adelante..."
