Yeeey! My first time through Blighttown! This is the furthest I've ever gone in Dark Souls.

Blighttown wasn't too bad, actually. Balder swag +10 was awfully effective in there. Got through the whole thing in one life. Then, once I'd gotten to the bottom, I got a little reckless. I knew the bonfire was just around the corner, so I wanted to get there quick, in case I died. There was a blowdart guy to my left, who I decided to charge him to finish him off quickly. It worked, but I was poisoned. So, I decided to just blast it through to the bonfire, because I only had two Estus' remaining. I sprint past the enemies and round the corner, and there it is! Bonfire ahoy!

Unfortunately, I'd forgotten to keep an eye on my health, and the toxic got me. Right in front of the fire.

Now that I'm in Blighttown proper, I have found a new nemesis. Waterwheel.
