Well, not only did I not cheat, but since I have the master key there was a pretty easily accessible bonfire not too far in. I forgot about that! I have NO idea where any other bonfires are in that area so thank god I picked the right thing at the start.
And I had "soft" humanity and figured F it, might as well use it since I usually forget to use it and then die and don't recover my stuff and lose it all. AND then there were two summons right there, so I figured might as well summon them. Holy cow did they totally wreck that whole area. I barely had to do anything! At the boss I just sort of hung back and let them do all of the work.
Is there any actual negative to summoning? I haven't been paying attention, not sure if it costs anything or whatever. But it sure does make bosses way easier.
Oh, and I had my first ever invasion. And boy did I feel sorry for them, my two summons and I just basically leveled them from all sides and killed them before they could even move.
So yeah, now at the infamous Blighttown. Made it to the first? bonfire there, which I am pretty sure is where I left off on the PS3. So I'm all caught up! I got there a lot faster / easier than I expected, but I guess having past experience helped a lot. And using summons more this time. Although I feel like I explored more last time too, I vaguely remember a few places I visited before that I didn't visit this time. AND I remember grinding HARDCORE to get the 20k souls to open that one door (although everything in there wrecked me pretty fast so I never got too far in.) So to really catch up I will have to get that door open again, but I'll worry about that another time. Just going to keep moving forward now.
Onward! Actually it is bedtime, onward another day! |

@ZeroThat was the bonfire I meant before, and yeah, if you've got the master key you can go to that bonfire pretty much directly. I chose the binoculars because I figured it would be cool to see potential threats from far away, but that never paid off. It did help with some stuff, like in Blighttown, but generally it's kind of crap. Certainly compared to the master key, which is borderline OP. Not that I wouldn't have picked that if I knew how great the thing was. I think the downside to summoning is that you have to be human to do it, which opens you up to invasions (unless you play offline, which I sadly did most of the time, in which case you'll only get the scripted AI invasions), but other than that I don't think there's a big problem with it. I've heard some say that bosses get more HP depending on how many people participate in the boss fight, but I don't know if that's actually true or not. All I know is that it never seemed to matter to me. |

@r_hjort I have no idea if bosses get more HP but pretty much every summon so far seems to just totally wreck the bosses, so more HP or not, it's WAY easier with summons. Like, not even a contest, you can mostly just sit back and watch the summons murder the bosses. I'm actually kind of surprised how OP summons are, they don't just "help" they just run around wrecking everyone's shit while barely taking any damage. Like, in the depths they kept running AHEAD of me and I would lose track of where they were and get into a room and see a bunch of dead rats and other assorted dead enemies and be like oh, I guess my summons must have been here, lol. Sort of feels like cheating to be honest, but I've mostly just been trying to catch up to where I left off before as fast as possible, so I don't mind getting here however I needed to. |

@ZeroTo be honest, this is one of the few things in Dark Souls I think is kind of shit. I like that it doesn't hold your hand and doesn't spell things out explicitly all the time, but when it has narratives it doesn't really bother having any sort of narration in, making it hard or damn near impossible to follow them even with honest effort, that kind of pisses me off. I will say, though, you will find easier ways to return to places. Also, if you like I can tell you how to activate the DLC quest, if you don't want to risk spoilers elsewhere. For now, all I'll say is that you can keep an eye out for the first step of the quest when you visit Darkroot Basin. The spoiler tagged area name isn't a spoiler in of itself or anything, I just thought I'd do things this way in case you or somebody else don't want to see it. |
