So, the journey which I started in August 2018 is complete (well it is for me anyway). All bosses down, with the final boss (the 2 cats) beaten today.....

I think my poor "undead chosen" needs a well earned rest, and I think I'm going to leave her right here at the bonfire....

....Adiós "chosen undead" !

So, having finally beaten the Fume Knight a few weeks back and having momentarily managed to prise myself away from WOW Classic, I come across this dude... Sir Alonne.

Christ almighty this dude moves in fast and then hits hard. I basically get about 1 hit on him and then he just completely owns me.

So, just trying to get back into DLC in DS2 after a bit of a hiatus. Sinh, was pretty tough, but ultimately “learnable” and rewarding once defeated. As for the 3-man gank squad in the Cave of the Death, this is simply just not fun. NPC or solo, it’s just frustrating and there’s little to nothing to “learn” from each …

So, just trying to get back into DLC in DS2 after a bit of a hiatus. Sinh, was pretty tough, but ultimately “learnable” and rewarding once defeated. As for the 3-man gank squad in the Cave of the Death, this is simply just not fun. NPC or solo, it’s just frustrating and there’s little to nothing to “learn” from each death apart from run around in circles, try and land a hit, get killed, rinse-n-repeat. Really not sure this boss is worth it.

So having recently finished Nier Automata (Endings A - E), I’ve decided to return to my bid to complete all the souls games by embarking on DS2.

I am aware of the love and the even more hate for DS2, but I’m going in with a completely open mind.

Después de jugarlo en su momento decidí darle una nueva oportunidad aprovechando la versión mejorada (Scholar of the First Sin) y la estoy disfrutando mucho, tanto así que voy de nuevo por todos los logros, secretos y recovecos del reino de Drangleic.
