One shall stand, one shall ball.
You have to give an effigy and clear every enemy every single time and sit through two loading screens every time. I like the fight well enough but no part of getting there is actually fun. It's everything that was wrong about Sir Alonne's run back except worse somehow.

One shall stand, one shall ball.
And of course the most convenient bonfire leads to the worst mini dungeon so I'm running from the Shaded Woods bonfire every time because it sucks the least aside from the distance.

Dumb 'let's hardcore' design like a lot of stuff in Souls 2 anyway :\

It's too bad 'cause the Darklurker fight is a ton of fun IMO.

Like the one thing about Dark Souls 2 that annoys me in a way the first didn't is that for as many bonfires as there are they managed to put some in the most annoying possible place for bosses. I mean Seath's is the only on from DS1 that I can think of as being irritating and at least there weren't any loading screens.

At least I despawned the mooks so the run's faster now! aiwebs_005

I can generally figure out a quick bonfire-boss path in Souls 2, but Darklurker, Ivory King, Frigid Outskirts and a couple others are annoying no matter what...

In Souls 1 some bonfire trips are more tedious than anything, which is still bad though... Lost Izalith is my least favorite I think. There are no obstacles, it's just a long boring marathon that takes forever.

Oh, yeah, fuck the Bed of Chaos run. Save/Quit cheese that bitch, don't ever die.

Ivory King wasn't bad, I mean I guess the Charred Knight Gauntlet could get annoying and should probably be skippable but at least the bonfire's right there, don't have sprint across and invisible floors or anything. :v

Anyway Darklurker down ~30 effigies for when I started. He's really fun! Looks rad, neat mechanic, plays so differently from your typical Souls boss. But I'm not gonna fight him again unless I'm playing a caster, getting there is a pain melee and phase two is real motherfucker. I had to throw on a Southern Ritual Band +1 so I could equip a couple more Pyromancies because 3 is not enough Great Fireballs and 2 is not enough Flame Swathes, also Chaos Firestorm in case I could catch both of them with it. Dodging an AOE burst in time to see his clone start descending from his laser attack while he's just one hit away from death after the smoke clears is a glorious thing. It was like the clouds parted to reveal "VICTORY ACHIEVED"

Dark Souls, yall!

I once died to Darklurker after he was dead and one of his spells was still on screen when the VICTORY ACHIEVED text popped.

That was a fun day.

no

after you clear the game, you automatically start back from the beginning while keeping your level, equipment (inc. uprades), items and what not. so if there's something you missed, you can just get it on the same character in NG+x. enemies in NG+ are stronger, but drop more souls. So you can pretty much keep leveling. Enemy stats and soul drops keep rising with every NG+ up to NG+6. That's the maximum rise.

This is important if you want all trophies. I think you need all kind of stuff on the same character. With boss weapons that wouldn't be possible w/o preogressing into NG+++ becase some unique boss souls can be used to create various weapons.

He did his little turn invisible teleport thingy after I landed that last hit, scared the hell outta me. lol

Think it might have some ok resistances, but yeah it's mostly just fun. Most armor is just good for being cool/funny.

I found the armor that the fat boss with the lightning hammer was wearing, now I just want to find the armor that his co-boss was wearing.  That was the coolest armor I've seen so far and I want it.

Unfortunately you can only get that guy's armor if you kill Fatty first.

You can buy the armor of some bosses from the merchant guy who shows up in the depths pre Blighttown, and relocates to that area beneath the aqueduct bridge that links to the Undead Burg in Firelink Shrine.

~Wish you were here~

Watcher/Defender was pretty ok, Nashandra was also ok, Aldia was a son of a bitch with his long ass charge time on that one fire ball attack bu twas also actually ok. It's weird fighting them after Darklurker and the DLC bosses because they are so much easier. I enjoyed the fights though, only one death because I got greedy fighting Nashandra, and Aldia got close because the jerk kept spawning under me. But it was fine. I like this game a lot.

I think Watcher/Defender's gimmick is kind of neat actually.
