Not going to help. I've been keeping my ear to the ground, as much as I tried to resist, and this is going to be the hardest Souls game yet.

Iunno, at the end of the beta they pretty much quadrupled the difficulty to test the ng+ difficulties and that was bearable, albeit pretty difficult

And the default beta wasn't really that much harder than the original aside from exploits being patched out like roll infinity frames and longer backstabs.
