Be prepared to die again at E3.

No details, no nothing, might be rumour but what counts is that I got here first.

Not falling for this again no matter how much you fucking weirdos bum it.

Not falling for an awesome game?

Bloodbourne was a short cakewalk between Dark Souls.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Aug 04, 2015 22:23

That first region does look a hell of a lot like Yharnam though.

SEXY!

Hang on though, the only bits shown in that trailer, and I mean "only," are from the network test. Disappointed face.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14416

You want Dark Souls? YOU WANT DARK SOULS? You can't handle the Dark Souls.

Look at this gameplay sheeeeet. I can only imagine non-Dark Souls people will look at that and want some.

Not impressed by the return of the Mantis style attack though, aye Demons Souls peeps, hmmm?

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sun Dec 06, 2015 0:48

That looks superb.

I'm still definitely buying it.

Everything I've seen of this just looks wonderful. April can't come soon enough.

PRETEND it's 12th April and you've finished unwrapping your brand new copy of Dark Souls 3, popped the disc into your console of choice, watched a lengthy update slowly download, took your pants off, closed the curtains, turned the lights off, consumed a big can of diabetic-death, Tornado, and you're watching the opening cinematic...

Same place as last time I mentioned it ages ago.

In the bit where you can't see where you're going. You're supposed to be able to jump the giant skeletons somehow and make them fall over, but I can't get it to work. I always end up falling to my death as I try to avoid their attacks while dodging the projectiles fired from unseen assailants.

There is an alternative path open to me down a huge hollow tree, if I remember correctly. It has some nasty mushroom creatures that get way too difficult as I reach the lower parts.

Err...

I'm guessing the part you can't see where you're going is the tomb of giants. You'll need a source of light. There are three available - A torch hidden away in the catacombs, a spell, or a hat you get in the izalith ruins. The torch has the other advantage of giving you a glowing path to ensure the correct path is taken.

The hollow tree, entirely optional.

Not overly clear where in the game you're up to, due to the ability to access many areas earlier than you'd ideally want to - and it sounds like you may be doing this. Can you warp around using bonfires yet?

I have the torch. And I forgot to mention, I have also rung both bells and talked to the weird clicking creature (and possibly done something else I don't remember), so I can warp up to the area above the starting area that has the big knights, which kill me very quickly. I don't know anything about warping between the bonfires. I have a fairly high level, I believe, and I play as an agile warrior type.

EDIT THE UMPTEENTH: I have also figured out how to get back to the tutorial area via the bird's nest, where there is a demon that is too powerful for me.

Have you been through the place with the traps and the snake men? If not, that's your destination. Leave the darkness for much later on.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I seem to remember you unlock that place with the bells, and then get access to the knighty place after doing stuff in there.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14416

Yup. That's where you need to go. When you get to the City of Gold *hums theme tune* finish it and then you unlock all the areas where the four Big Bosses are. Kill all the bosses and unlock the final area. Defeat Bigger boss and finish the game. Simples.

That's about 50 hours worth of game I've just summarised though.

Yeah, you're not even halfway, the giant skels are basically the last thing I do in the game.

You need to go the huge knight area, which will unlock various areas, including a door later on in the dark skeleton place.

The initial huge knights you can walk (or run) past.

Maybe a little over. Depends on whether you've been beating up big wolves and similar.

Wow, I am having a pretty easy time in Anor Londo, or rather, now I am trapped in a painting, but I am still having a pretty easy time. Why on Earth did I convince myself back then that this was most definitely the last place I needed to go? I mean, I know how this game works, you have to thoroughly examine every option open to you to find the right one. Anyway, after a couple of years off, I am back in the game, yeah!

Also, a ton of people seem to be playing this game still, I have absolutely no problem getting summoned and I have already gained something like 5 levels just from the souls I get from helping other people defeat the area boss. I wonder if the different ports all use the same server.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Tue Feb 09, 2016 11:20

That's handy. Painted world can be a little harsh if you go in ill equipped. But probably not coincidentally, it's one of the best places for gaining souls. And jumping dragons arses.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Feb 09, 2016 21:39

One of the best places in the game. Great for harvesting souls and a lovely boss fight.
