In the last post, I was talking about Malenia, the Blade of Miquella. They are twins, but Miquella never really grew up or something? I’m not entirely sure because FromSoft lore is very dense and opaque. I haven’t watched many lore vids, but I will at some point. I do know that… *SPOILERS* Marika and… Continue Reading
*SPOILERS* I’m not sure how needed a spoiler tag is for Elden Ring now, but I’m slapping one on this post, anyway, because I’m going to talk about a late-game boss in some detail. She is widely accepted to be the hardest boss in the game, and she’s optional. All the hardest bosses in the… Continue Reading
Elden Ring. I’m back to playing it instead of Dark Souls II (Scholar of the First Sin). Why? Because I miss it and because I’m at the DLC for SotFS. I am in the minority, but I think the DLCs are too try-hard with too much emphasis on being HARD. Also, as a very squishy… Continue Reading
FromSoft released Demon’s Souls in 2009. This was before I was into video games and I wouldn’t have been able to play it, anyway, because I don’t have a PS3. Now it’s because I don’t have a PS5, but we’ll get to that later. Dark Souls was released in 2011. That’s over ten years ago.… Continue Reading
Dark Souls II (Scholar of the Frist Sin). Post number a million on it. Here was the last. Still playing it, currently in the absolute worst area of the game, barring the DLCs. It’s Shrine of Amana, and while it’s better in SotFS than it was in the vanilla game (apparently), it’s still grim. It’s… Continue Reading
I’m mad. I lit all the torches in The Gutter so that I could spawn the Gutter Denizen to get my favorite set, the Black Witch Set–and veil. But, I killed them on a platform and their drop fell below the platform–which meant I could not get it. I wikied it, and you can sometimes… Continue Reading
We’re on post five of Dark Souls II (Scholar of the First Sin) v. Elden Ring with no end in sight. I haven’t played Elden Ring in several days, which is weird. I also haven’t been able to summon in DS II because of the server issue, which is also weird. DS II is especially… Continue Reading
Yet another post about Dark Souls II (Scholar of the First Sin) because apparently, I can’t stop writing about it. Here is post three, which makes this, yes, post four. Why am I continuing to write about this? Because I’m still playing the game and I have more to say. I will always have more… Continue Reading
Post three about Dark Souls II versus Elden Ring. Well, mostly about DS II/Scholar of the First Sin (SotFS). Here is the second post about it; it includes a link to the first. I really do think FromSoft had a thankless task in making the sequel, but I must admit, post-Elden Ring, the game suffers… Continue Reading
I wrote about Dark Souls II/Scholar of the First Sin (SotFS) yesterday, and I have more to say about it. I don’t think FromSoft could win when it came to making the sequel because the original was so beloved. It only came out on consoles at first and took some serious campaigning on the part… Continue Reading
