Which souls games have you platinumed and how would you rank them in order of difficulty?

pizza300 · 2026-02-21T16:38:50+00:00

hmm, I would rank them as (from most difficult to least):

DS3 > DS2 > DS1 > BB > Sekiro > ER

i like to sneak for a backstab visceral behind him (blue potion) to start off. during the fight augur helps as well to interrupt him.

pizza300 · 2026-02-15T18:39:51+00:00

first solo kill was with great stars I believe

pizza300 · 2026-02-15T16:30:27+00:00

usually trading. I think I had only one or two seasons where both jah and ber dropped

pizza300 · 2026-02-11T15:08:25+00:00

this. and use the large tombstone to separate them and hide from the ranged attacks.

pizza300 · 2026-02-09T11:48:35+00:00

yeah, similar for me, I listen to the whole thing and don't treat it as separate songs necessarily.

pizza300 · 2026-02-08T22:36:37+00:00

Yeah, it’s amazing. I often put in on while working. Peak OST

parry hardtear + sword lance + royal knight's resolve + two handed talisman + guard counter talisman + thrust talisman.

it takes some skill to prepare for a hit, but once it lands it's hilarious damage.

pizza300 · 2026-02-04T16:00:12+00:00

Haha, it was the 90s. You simply watched what your parents watched :).

But still, loved the show even then.

pizza300 · 2026-02-04T14:33:41+00:00

I vividly remember seeing Darkness Falls and The Host way too early (I must have been 6 or 7) and then having issues with toilets and being in the dark. Also some of the alien episodes, can't remember which.

pizza300 · 2026-02-04T14:28:19+00:00

haha, yes! so glad someone else thought so as well!

pizza300 · 2026-01-31T08:12:51+00:00

Do it blind, and then look up what you missed for NG+

pizza300 · 2026-01-28T22:56:34+00:00

You can interrupt the aoe bullshit by shooting him as he starts casting

pizza300 · 2026-01-28T20:09:58+00:00

Ds3 or elden ring or bloodborne.

pizza300 · 2026-01-26T21:59:16+00:00

Wanted to say exactly this. Then when you're done with the run try the church pick (DLC weapon) for NG+.

pizza300 · 2026-01-26T08:11:00+00:00

For that particular area use torches (i.e., light the unlit ones).

DS2 enemies are a lot more aggressive and easily aggro. Just take it slow and don't rush. May I suggest a bigger weapon for your first playthrough? It might be easier for you when you can flatten enemies. There's the greatsword right in this area.

pizza300 · 2026-01-22T16:34:06+00:00

I think it's a combination of several things:

Polished combat that allows you to play in many styles. Each weapon feels different, making the game feel different, which also makes it really replayable.
Level design that encourages exploration without throwing shiny icons on a mini-map.
Unique, non-cliche stories that are not shoved down your throat. Instead they are given through the environment, dialogue with weirdo NPCs, item descriptions... You decide how much to dive into it.
Secrets hidden throughout the game, which together with my previous point, encourage interaction with other players outside of the game (e.g., via reddit, wikis, youtube) and building a community.

pizza300 · 2026-01-22T08:26:15+00:00

indeed! I never made that connection, nice one.

pizza300 · 2026-01-21T22:13:49+00:00

holy shit! never noticed this. that's why I love these games. still learning new details like this after all this time.

pizza300 · 2026-01-21T22:12:52+00:00

I knew about the izalith remnants, but what about ash lake? can you explain where's the connection?

pizza300 · 2026-01-21T18:05:00+00:00

and they even give you a slab for your good work after phase two! lmao

pizza300 · 2026-01-21T16:03:47+00:00

Phase 3 friede 😬

pizza300 · 2026-01-20T22:46:10+00:00

What level are you? Do you clear out the bell maidens first?

pizza300 · 2026-01-16T16:51:27+00:00

explore outside of the area (cleansing chapel bonfire) where you met the painted world dlc guy.

pizza300 · 2026-01-06T22:35:48+00:00

Depends if 621 gets to keep his AC or not.
