Dark Souls II

[TrollHunter]

SO MANY SPOILERSI found the dear frelga last night, but decided to keep exploring. Currently at the smelter demon. Got a feeling this guys gonna be a bit of a roadblock for me. Once he puts his sword on fire the chip damage takes out like a 4th of my HP... in a single swing. Good lord, not to mention he has quite a fair bit of HP.

Gotta say though, as I get further and further in I like this game more and more. The first portion of the game from tutorial ~> sentinels is really "eh" but the game becomes utterly fantastic later on. The mid-game atmosphere and level design has been really quite amazing.

EDIT
UPDATED SPOILERSSo, smelter demon felled in 3 tries. After the first try I took a break and did some exploring. Managed to nab a Gyrm greatshield from those dwarf guys in the pharros and it has 100% FIRE RESISTANCE and 100% physical resistance. YES!!!! Not done yet though. I also found the dull ember and brought it to the blacksmith in the bastille. He sells infinite large titanite shards and some really really sexy weapons. One of which was the greataxe, my new main weapon. I got it to +9 and its moveset is ridiculously satisfying. So, after all that I went and took on the smelter demon and it was extremely simple from there. Got greedy and died from a power attack I didnt know the boss had, but the third attempt was a simple and clean win. Oh yes.
