You are insane. I mean that in the best way possible.

@FateOfNever: Thanks! For some reason I didn't get a PM that you replied, lucky I checked back on the thread. :)

I love that this game encourages you to be totally crazy and do random insane things, but man. Reading that just confirms that I don't want to play it. Yet I'm really glad it exists.

@FateOfNever: Clearly Dark Souls is exactly the kind of game for a gamer like you. I, on the other hand, would never have patience for this sort of thing. Frankly, I'm surprised the game even allows you to do this. Too bad they didn't offer an achievement/trophy for it.

EDIT: Nice Dodgeball reference, BTW.

A very interesting read.

You masochist.

Did someone drip hot candle wax on your chest and whip you while you played?

Wow. Not played Dark Souls but have Demon Souls so I can appriciate how hard that must have been. Well done sir you crazy s.o.b.

Ok so i just beat this guy in less than 2 minutes....   5 Black Firebombs and he's toast...  Guess If you really want the hammer and don't have the patience you can choose Black Firebombs as your gift.

@fateofnever: you know, I'd hate to be THAT guy...but FYI when u get to the depths n you kill that zombie butcher dude u can get his sack that he wears on his head, which you can take back to the asylum, drop it in snuggly's nest, quit the game and start it back up and whalla! U now have that same item u just spent 4 hours trying to get while it took me a couple of seconds..but good job anyways.

It's not about the item.

Like I said sack and trade for the hammer.

Why can't I see my own posts?

You know, this OP is over 2 years old (almost 3 years). I suspect this was posted around when the game just came out. So... ya...

I wound up giving up and choosing to remake as a sorcerer. The guy who gives you the estus flask also gives you your sorcerer catalyst, and you can get a knife somewhere around there, which is a great speed weapon. Hitting/dodging the boss with soul arrow is fairly quick too, and if you are willing to grind, you can make a pretty decent fighter/sorcerer. I've had fun with it so far.
