I’ve played through most of the soulslikes I put my mind to but I still haven’t played/finished DS1/2.

I started a playthrough of DS1 and got to Quelaag but didn’t actually fight her because I was cursed and wanted to cleanse it first - couldn’t find my way back, unfortunately, and didn’t want to look up guides lol. And now the save is gone, so I’ll have to start over - ie. I probably won’t play anytime soon :D

Haven’t played DS2 yet because I wanted to play them in chronological order.

What about you?

    Lies of P and Sekiro. I will get to them at some point, but I don’t get through soulslikes very quickly and they’re not the genre that I play the most either. Fine by me though, there’s all the more chance of getting them on a good deal!

    Quelaag is actually where I got stuck and stopped playing the first time I tried Dark Souls too. In my case I was not cursed, though, I was just regular old bad at the game

      if you kill man-eater mildred in the swamp, you can summon her to help you fight Quelaag. takes a lot of pain out of the fight

        I don’t super enjoy summoning, unfortunately. I’m definitely not of the opinion that people are somehow playing wrong if they do summon, it just reduces the satisfaction I personally get from the win. I got there eventually though! Just had to accept that not summoning meant I had to get good the slow way

          hey thats absolutely fair. once you learn the series the bosses become pretty easy, and in some situations its easier to fight some of them solo anyways. im a sun bro all the way, so i love getting summoned to help people. unfortunately not a whole lot of people seem to need help these days lol.

            I may not call upon your assistance myself, but I will always respect the effort to help out those in need
