Not made it to a church.
When you get to the boar. There is an area up to the right, but there is no bonfire up there. I have cleared that area out before, but then gone back down to face boar and died obviously. I'll have another go and see if there is another place to look at.
I had a bad feeling you have to kill the boar to get to the next bonfire. Maybe not though.
I just had another go. Honestly best leave it without any more advice please. I'd be better off uninstalling.
Oh ok I see now. Dont have to kill boar. Behind boar to the right is a passage that goes down. Go up to the right, drop down into it and run in. Beware ambush.
I played on and killed the boar eventually. I managed to get the Drake sword, and the Zweihander. However I have pretty much run out of patience and enthusiasm. I am still bemused as to what folk really get out of DS. I think DS2 or 3 must be the better option as folk say they are not quite so hard. Plus the graphics are modern and the port playable.
Also I pretty much messed up all the way through. Like I was not upgrading because I didn't know how. I was not kindling bonfires because I found I couldn't. (Didn't know I had to use soft humanity.) As I had been failing so much I kept giving up, and the first nine hours played took months. Only after trying again and seeing youtube, I realised I had forgotten roll, walk (so I could not backstab. I had forgotten block with shield, and forgotten lock on.
Even with all this learned though, I still don't think I want to play much more. Last night I felt it was over for me after dying in the first area outside the castle. I died because of trees behind me blocking my view in a fight. Usual third person stuff, but worse in DS. Worse because it was worse implementation, and worse because one error and you are dead - no argument.
What is astonishing is that Dark Souls rates 98% positive on Steam. I guess a better run from the start makes all the difference. I mean I made a mess of my weapon upgrading, and set my character up for archery. Yet I need swords to do anything, so was low on strength.
Enjoying the new HRTF update to CS:GO. Gaming is huge boon for headphone audio development and appreciation.
I am actually getting on now with Dark Souls and think I will buy DS2.
I was struggling earlier and @catspaw and other encouraged me to continue. At the time I could not understand why. However I realise now that I had messed up quite badly. I was eight hours in and was totally stuck.
Firstly DS has a lighting issue which caused me to stop playing to fix. Other things needed fixing. TLDR - I forgot all the training. I ended up having forgotten roll, walk, jump attack, block, and more.
Secondly I had managed to lose my club therefor losing my most powerful weapon. Thirdly I didn't know how to kindle bonfires or what kindling did.
Overall then, I was playing with a weak weapon, no idea of controls and mechanics, and always low health potions.
Anyway I asked on Steam and folk picked me up and got me going by hinting about the Drake Sword. Since then I have not really looked back. I learnt all the training again, with Youtube videos buy someone called Kay Plays.
Anyone addicted to Final Fantasy XIV? I might give that a try.
I see videos of it and it seems like there's too much going on all at once.
So many icons and buttons everywhere and it seems so confusing.
I'd be coming from Final Fantasy XI where everything seems so much more simple.
Too bad they never made a console version of World of Warcraft.
I am starting to like Battlefield 1 now, had some decent games lately..here's a bit of gameplay!
