Dark Souls

[Pete for President]

But... I never knew of the leo ring trick. THAT'S MADNESS

Crazy right? No wonder ENB dedicated a full video to it

I started the Psychopath challenge. The rules:

No talking. Ever. (so no weapon/estus upgrading, no buying, no curse removal by NPC's etc.)
No summoning/being summoned.
Every NPC must die when encountered, unless this character is unreachable without talking (say, Knight Lautrec).
All looted and found equipment/spells may be used.
Goal is to finish the game. Optional area's may be skipped.

So far I killed:
Spoiler
Crestfallen Knight (kicked him off the cliff)
Petrus of Thorolund
Undead merchant (male)
Knight Solaire
Andrei the blacksmith (he's actually pretty tough and does dropkicks)
Siegmeyer of Catarina (wears both Tearstone rings)
Knight Lautrec
Oswald of Carim
Undead merchant (female)
Griggs of Vinheim (drops the Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring, didn't know that)
Laurentius of the Great Swamp
Domnhall of Zena


So far progress is very smooth. The black knight in the Parish dropped his greatsword. That'll probably be my weapon for the remainder of the game. I want to get Power Within, so I've ran through the Depths and I'm currently jumping down Blighttown. So far I must say it's actually been easier than normal playthroughs, probably since I can't buy anything I level up real quick and the Black Knight Greatsword is obviously overpowered if acquired during this first quarter of the game. I expect greater challenges in Anor Londo and onwards, mostly due to not being able to upgrade the Estus flask.
