It was awesome. Not as hard as I imagined, but, pretty challenging. Every boss I faced kicked my ass multiple times before I beat them, and, I couldn't hold on to more than 2 humanity, or 7000 souls if I planned on heading somewhere I was unsure of, though.

I splat ran the catacombs, and got a great scythe, then upgraded it to +5 with shards, and I want to make it divine (I got the ember) but, I have no blue shards... So I can't venture into the catacombs (safely) without it.

I rang the undead church bell of awakening, after beating the bell gargoyles, and now I'm kind of stuck, but, I think I'll figure it out eventually.

bosses/enemies that don't reappear that I defeated:
bosses:
Prison guard (easy)
Taurus demon (easy, once I used fireballs/firebombs and a shield, but he killed me tons of times.)
Moonlight butterfly (Easy, once I got the timing for dodges down)
Minotaur/capri demon (ridiculously unfair. The dogs got to me if I tried to fight him, and there wasn't much space to maneuver.)
Bell gargoyles (by far one of the most challenging foes, due to there being 2, and, my inability to keep an eye on both. Luckily, I killed the first one in like, 8 hits while the other one missed with it's flame breath.)

enemies:
Some sort of knight in black armor... There was one with a club that I defeated when i got a double critical ring. I basically criticalled it the whole fight.
a demon thing with no head? It shoots lightning. I got behind it, and slowly whittled it away.
a necromancer
two trees that never bothered anybody

Enemies that I never beat:
A WOLF WITH A FUCKING SWORD
A Poison dragon thing
A hydra
The red dragon (I can't get past it's fire AND the gates)

my current armor is elite knight armor, and, eastern armor. I have a +5 great scythe, 0 humanity, and 0 souls.

welcome to the first day of your Hell.

It actually wasn't hellish. I enjoyed it.

Of course it wasn't hellish. You got bunches of advice.

I know, and I thank you all for that. I didn't have it to reference during play, though, so I could only keep a few parts that I thought to be key, like not worrying with the dragon tail sword. And I never could run past the dragon.

Lots of the early bosses (Capra demon, moonlight butterfly) become common enemies later on. You'll go through an area full of Capras, for instance, and face a few surprise gargoyles.

So, you know, look forward to that.

this makes me unhappy....

is it WAAY later on?

I got some blue shards from the ice golem enemies near the hydra.

Try those guys if you really want the shards.

Oh. Maybe I got chunks too then. I really didn't pay attention when I picked them up.

:shrug

there are only chunks and slabs of red and blue. There are also only shards of green.

There is a character that can turn chunks into shards, but you probably want to keep the chunks. Otherwise, Farming guide that might have minor spoilers I guess

thanks.

I think you need to go under the bridge for that dragon-y thing, or is that another one?

Real heroes dress up like Ornstein and take him on hand-to-hand!

But, uh, yes, you can do the whole thing from under the bridge. It's just very, very...... slow.

Rather slow than fried to a crisp.

Is it bad that I never tackled the dragon, and I'm going to the depths soon? He is still on that bridge, just perching there... MENACINGLY!!!!!

I'm still doing my run completely blind. (I didn't even read this thread. I just scrolled down to post :D)
I'll be streaming again tomorrow night and I'm terrified.

Ohh,you are playing from the start too? How far have you gotten? I believe the master key is a source of problems for me... it prevents me from being blocked off from places I shouldn't go...

Uhh, let's see if I remember. My first playthrough, I met Havel. D: D: That was a source of entertainment for everyone. Beat Capra. And I think I'm working on the dragon. I'm at the bridge he is guarding. I absolutely know nothing about the game. I don't know what goes where and who is where. I barely know the buttons. I'm a completely video game n00b. Jeremiah speedruns it, and I'm like "Hurrrdruuurrr"
