Servers Down, Playing Dark Souls

Game is really cool. First dark souls ever and was not expecting the difficulty but I just passed him. 9 flasks for the win

The room is huge, so dodge backwards. Get far enough so he starts using his charged-up gap-closer on you. Use your R2 right before he gets to you. This should stagger him depending on your build. Don't try to hit him again. Dodge away. Drink if you need. Repeat. Better than any Prima strat.

I got the Dragonslayer Armour boss to 1 hit and then he one shot me thru 30 vigor and an ember, got sad and turned it off again t_t

Felt like I was playing against a Leblanc. Get her low then she disappears and kills you while she's doing it.

Just beat Aldrich and now I'm kind of lost. I'm guessing the giant? Just need to find him.

Slowly playing Dark Souls 2 a my first time in the franchise. I lost 4000 souls because I tried to do a boss fight thinking the mist door would evaporate like all the others, only to die horribly and have my souls stuck in the boss arena. Can't retrieve them, can't beat the boss in question until I find stronger sorceries.

Then earlier this evening I lost 2000 souls because I fell off a ledge trying to retrieve them.

I a starting to understand all the Punch You In The Dick jokes now.
