Spoiler

There are two, and I'm being generous enough for including these Gargoyles, who have 1) different models 2) different movesets. They also seem to be challenging as fuck. That's like saying the Dark Souls gargoyles are recycled Maneaters. The only reused thing is the music.

i like how people here gives tips and strategy advices how to beat bosses/mobes even though they did not play a single fucking minute of this game.
its like watching stream of counter strike match and asking players why dont they aim for the head?its obvious headshots are deadly

i had couple hundreds of hours experience in dark souls and still got my ass handled to me in demons souls couple good times. but thats probably because i did not kite black phantoms with arrows


anyway from mined data
154 pure melee weapons.

• 11 staffs
• 10 chimes
• 10 bows
• 4 crossbows

What a bizarre area.

Queelag 2.0 [Scorpion instead of spider body] Not to shit on the game, but this is the worst looking model so far, outside of the fat green guys with the hammers.

Agreed. The entire area looks really weird, the graphics / art direction is leagues below Heide's Tower of Flame or the Forest of Fallen Giants, etc. As if a different team worked on it.

The area is just bizarre to me, and the enemies in it seem random, though the

Spoiler

basilisk den looked really nice and was probably the best part

Edit: What a boring boss -.

well at least she looks a bit harder than quelag

also that moveset of twin-blades is straight from some kung fu wuxia shit movie

 

[AngryEddy]

well at least she looks a bit more difficult than quelag

Only because the streamer is using +6 starting weapons, instead of a +10-15 PVE greatsword/scythe drop. If this guy actually upgraded his shit and kind of had a starting plan, he'd be creaming the bosses he's stuck on,

Gargoyles, Scorpion Quellag, and The fat corpse monster in the poison cave.

Gargoyles, The fat corpse monster in the poison cave.

really? he is what like sls60? its like fighting quelag with divine weapon +5

 

[Kanedias]

Yeah his weapons suck, he needs to upgrade them much more - it makes all bosses look like they have HP bloat.

Spoiler

Gargoyles look really difficult, though....a better, faster moveset, spears, and the two attack at once. I think it'd still be really hard even with other weapons, right now it's plain impossible for him to beat them.

Anyways, am I being nitpicky, or does this area (and its enemies) seem really out of place? It doesn't look Souls enough for me. I'm really defensive of the game usually, but this area along with the one full of Shreks stands out like a sore thumb.

well its not lordran anymore. there is more dungeon crawling in kings field way than in ds1 with enemies from the hindu and germanic myths in that last location.

and the reason he is not upgrading his weapon is because he has no idea where to farm for titanite chunks

He was doing huge damage with his +6 starter Falchion, I could only imagine how quickly that fight would be over with, if the streamer was a mage or strength build.

Thanks! I hope I am drunk enough not to remember anything I saw there tomorrow.

Medusa fight

 

[Invictus]

Are the pics shown with the reveal of the PC version actual screencaptures? That not only looks magnificent but makes the consoles look like they were drawn with crayons. Super psyched to get to play the PS3 version and then go for my deprived run on the PC
Praise the sun!

 

[praetor]

did he get any tail cuts? are there any tail cuts in the game? did he go to nu-Latria? do we even know which area is nu-Latria (i.e. the on ENB said is as atmospheric and awesome as it)?

btw, when i saw him upgrade his weapons i think i noticed regular shards upgrade to +3 and large to +6 so likely the normal path goes to +10 and +6 is not as bad as we think (i.e. some bosses do have HP bloat)?

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

sounds like a happy ending

also end boss music



i would say its very different from gwyns theme
