So my girlfriend used to HATE Dark Souls. She tried it many many years ago, when a friend tried to get her into it, but they left her pretty much without any guidance whatsoever, because they wanted her to have the "aUthEntIc dARk sOuLs exPEriEnCe". She got frustrated quickly and left the game with a very sour taste, that would last for over a decade.
After we got together, I pretty much just accepted that she would never really like the game the same as I do and didn't make any effort to try to "convert" her. I would occasionally tell her some fun stories from my tour guide shenanigans, which she enjoyed listening to, but I didn't expect that she would ever touch the games herself.
However, over the last couple months she got a little bit curious again, and after a lot of weighing whether it would be worth the risk of becoming upset again, she did eventually give Dark Souls another try. This time I was there to coach her and explain some basic mechanics to help make the early parts more approachable, without trying to backseat game too much.
This was her two days ago:
