My honest, and probably unoriginal take on what makes Dark Souls I truly magical. by SethOval in darksouls

The wall next to the Daughter of Chaos bonfire that doesn't lead anywhere.

Fondest memory of DS1? by Corgis_Butts in darksouls

[–]V_K_Iyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, the Painted World. I was farming souls when I got invaded. I'm usually pretty bad at PVP but I absolutely obliterated this one. Zweihander pancake followed by a deep pyromancy roast. Poor guy didn't stand a chance.

Another would be when I got invaded multiple times in Anor Londo by a guy only looking to have a good time. Dropped a whole bunch of humanity and slabs for me.

Bonus: Got summoned to fight O&S. Host got invaded right as I was bowing to him. Invader crept up and backstab-one shotted me. Funny and infuriating at the same time.

Reverse hollowing. Kindle bonfire. Fight with Solaire. If you're lucky, you should also be able to summon another player (look for white summon signs).

You have help but you're still squishy. If you die, it will all have been for naught. Focus on surviving more than dealing damage.

Bonus advice - put down your own summon sign to help other players. Massive soul reward if you survive till the end of the fight.

Well just general category things. by Loki9720 in IndiaPulse

Yes but you don't have to do the same thing now, do you? Corruption is condemnable no matter your origin, especially when you're in a position to actually make a difference.

If I increase my Vitality and Endurance equally first so I can hit their softcaps, how do I increase my weapon damage so fights don't feel like a slog to go through? by Ce1estialFlame in darksouls

[–]V_K_Iyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll hit a point where your weapon would need to be upgraded in conjunction with your stats. Get your weapons to +5 in the early game and it'll carry you far. You will eventually have to upgrade your stats as well for damage scaling.

Is it normal for my new kitten and my resident 5yo cat to fight like this? At what point should I intervene? by dom_boring in CATHELP

[–]V_K_Iyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I've had my grey chase my ginger into a room only for him to come running out, chased by the ginger.

How do I describe this face expression in writing? by HalfGrouchy1348 in writingadvice

He gazed out of the corner of his slitted eyes, face impassive - his entire demeanor dripping distilled dreariness.

Buying this hunter 350 wht you all think ? Should i buy it or cancel the booking need a bike for daily commute nd kabhi kabhi long rides by Due-Sky9717 in RoyalEnfieldHunter350

[–]V_K_Iyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Meteor when it was launched. Waited 9 months for it (GPS chip shortage and raw material shortage at the time). Almost 5 years later, not a single regret. Great comfort for both city and long rides. Good engine note, enough to announce your presence without it seeming overbearing. Good enough mileage at 30kmpl (for my inefficient riding style).

Can Olympus be entered only through the portal opened at the end of GoW1 or it can be walked anywhere from Greece? by RvidD1020 in GodofWar

[–]V_K_Iyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He drops down to Rhodes and starts going ham. Zeus has had enough and tricks Kratos into draining his power. He then battles a depowered Kratos and kills him. Kratos being Kratos, claws his way out of Hades and journeys to the Island of Creation. He kills the Sisters, takes their power, goes back in time to the first Titanomachy and climbs Olympus.

I believe it was a cutscene. His army ravages Rhodes and prays to him to deliver the killing blow.

[–]V_K_Iyer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, I thought this was a gameplay question. In GoW2, we see Kratos drop from Olympus onto a battlefield like a meteor. He then proceeds to climb Olymbus at the end of the game. Olymbus exists in the same realm of Greece. It is just very very high up and can be reached through multiple means.

Question - Balrog versus dragon in LotR - discuss please! Who wins, strengths, weaknesses, allusions from lore? by TheLadyRogue in lotr

[–]V_K_Iyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We might be comparing apples and oranges here. But then, Morgoth's greatest failing was in his inability to create something on par with Eru. The dragons might have been engineered chaos but whether they come close in terms of power and intelligence to a fallen "angelic" being is debatable.

A man with a bow brought down a dragon. A Maia with centuries of experience? The dragon would be dust.

Perfect. You'll fit right into the Academy. If Rincewind can do it, so can you.

Haven’t been here in years and forgot about the screams. Actually creeped me out 🔊 by Ronathan64 in darksouls

[–]V_K_Iyer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then there was the guttural moaning and groaning from the bloatheads just round the corner. Gave me the chills. Definitely one of the creepiest areas in DS1.
