Just beat the first boss and huh, was pretty easy.
It takes a while for this one to get challanging compared to the first, though the difficulty does start going up.
Hmmm, it's been a while since I've been hooked on co-op.
Ahhh, this is nice. The time limit adds a nice bit of tension as well.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
...Okay, taking a break now that I'm to the same spot Pill stopped at. One of those things is easy, one of them and one of those boom zombie things I can do. Two of them got tricky, and I got mobbed by explosion on another spot.
Here comes the Darksouls I know and love.
I was farming those big dudes at heides flame and then they startrd to disappear. This worries me, what if I want to farm souls later in the game? Mobs are just gonna despawn forever it seems after 10 kills or so.
Today's progress:
Defeated The Lost Sinner, that Scorpion Lady (forgot her name), and that creepy Magus and his Congregation. The Lost Sinner was definitely the toughest battle yet, and had me red in the face more than a few times.
Currently at the bonfire in Chapel Threshold, Soul Level 78.
Screw the ruins sentinels. Screw them so hard.
First one? EASY.
Two at once? I just get overran. I cant kite them around pillars like O&S, and their ranged options are far superior. How do I do this? I have no magic except for a heal miracle and I use a +5 bastard sword.
edit: Beat them. Picked up the drangleic shield and chloranthy ring. Took it slow and won. I did have two summons... but they both died on the very first one which is absolutely hilarious to me. Tried to cheese it with summons and they both died instantly... won anyway. GG

Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
My sole problem with fighting all three solo was my Shield couldn't last the fight. I'm built so I don't have much Maneuverability, so I was pretty much always taking hits from at least one.
I'm not sure who I hate more... the one guybell gargoyles or the other guylost sinner
Probably that one guy. At least the other guy isnt a damage race that I cant keep up with.
Gahhhh, I have so many titanite chunks. I just need TWO MORE large titanite to get my bastard sword to +6 so I can make it like +9 with all my titanite chunks. I've scoured the land and simply cannot find any more large shards at this point of the game. How frustrating.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Finally! Copy incoming on Monday
Wayyy too early to say. I have like 40 hours in this one compared to well over 400 in dks1.
I havent even beaten NG yet, let alone NG+.
I've been enjoying it so far but its very different from the original.
EDIT: PROGRESSBeat that one dude who did the sinning and stuff.
Took... 3 attempts? Maybe 4. Strategy for winning fight? Katamari music in the background. That and taking it very very slowly and not being greedy as hell. Took like 2 small hits in the entire fight. In all honesty he wasnt too bad. He reminded me a lot of artorias from DkS1 and I treated the fight as such. Definitely not as hair-pulling as the sentinels, though the crossbowmen leading to the fight were annoying as hell. Lv.73 when I fought him by the way.

I seem to have gone a completely different route then Pill here and got me my second great soul, don't think I've fought some of those listed yet.
(SPOILER)I beat a guy called 'The Rotten'. I made it to him by fighting my way through the gutter, the area at the bottom of the well in town.
Progress:
Defeated Duke's Dear Frelga for my 2nd Great Soul, so yeah, we definitely took different paths. After that headed through the Huntsman's Copse, the Earthen Peak, currently inside that big windmill.
Bosses/Miniboss Beaten:
Duke's Dear Frelga
Skeleton Lords
Skeleton Chariot Thing
Covetous Demon (I think this may be the easiest boss in DkS1 or 2)
SL 90ish? I turned off the game and don't remember the exact number.
I still think this game is easier than Dark Souls was, at least at a comparable percentage of the way through the game. Still having a blast. I'm getting a little bored of my Heide Knight Sword +8, I'm thinking of switching it up. The thing is that this sword just cuts everything down so easily and doesn't weigh me down too much, so it might be a difficult transition.
