Things In Dark Souls That Have Killed Me So Far
All in the title. Dark Souls is a mean old meanie mistress of meanness.
List items
-
90% of the enemies are zombies, so this is a given.
-
Don't go downwards at the shrine first.
-
In several different flavors, even. Best of all, they're not even real dragons, just weaker "drakes". The real ones show up later. Fantastic.
-
I tried rolling under his legs. Not the best strategy it turns out.
-
Really not looking forward to the Hitchcock Demon.
-
Nothing like thinking you're safely out of view of the archers. Turns out it's not easy to judge line of sight in a third-person system.
-
So often.
-
Who gave the zombies molotovs?
-
Yay. I was a meter away from the bonfire when it killed me too. Deliberate game is deliberate.
-
Content to hide in tiny, unfurnished rooms until someone passes for their whole lives. Well, when you're undead, you have to make your own fun.
-
They didn't bust through the window, but they still end up eating my face with an alarming frequency.
-
The red-cloaked guys. The fancy ones with the rapiers that like to riposte you, those are the bad ones.
-
Sauron-ass motherfuckers are not worth trifling with. They'll get theirs when I'm higher level. I'll be breezing through and getting petty revenge kills.
-
I'm guessing a fair number of people got killed by the Bell Gargoyles. I actually only died once, and that was after getting knocked off the roof.
-
It was hiding in a barrel! A barrel! How did it get in the barrel? It's giant!
-
These guys like to hump your head to death. Must've gotten that protip from the ReDeads in Zelda. Not even the most humiliating way I've died either.
-
Those things in the forest. Try not to wake them up. If you wake one up, when fighting it, don't back away towards another one and wake that up too.
-
Not my finest moment.
-
Again, I didn't see it too clearly, but I think I got blatted from behind by this dude as I was dropping down a tree. Shiitake happens, I guess.
-
They're pretty harmless, except when they drop on your head and dissolve you like they are apparently able to do. Where's Steve McQueen when you need him?
-
Blighttown is not a happy place.
-
Defying all expectations once again, in Dark Souls lava will kill you if you stand in it.
-
I am okay with this because I think the bosses have died more often to the fickle whims of the game's coding than I have.
-
Hey, I was in a forest, and the guy was half-invisible. I figure it's a Predator. If it falls off cliffs because of glitchy AI, we can kill it.
-
It was some dude in a dress, near where the Predator was. For men of the cloth, they sure were fierce with those soul arrows.
