Ah yes, the Catacombs. The first place that I - and probably many others - went after arriving in Firelink Shrine because "skeletons can't be THAT dangerous, they're just bones... right?"... Right
The Catacombs is really worth doing early. The boss is so easy but the journey is hard. Even if you take some shortcuts down getting back up and out is hell. The best thing is to use the first bonfire and then don't touch another one . Including the new one they added for remastered. Wow... I've never seen that happen before either. He must have killed himself. Odd that someone needs to kindle the bonfire before this boss... Its to easy... hold it.. you didn't actual sit at the bonfire... did they change that for this version too? I thought you were not sitting at them on purpose so you could warp back to the top. You got to run in a zig zag sort of. The bone wheels are more deadly than the boss. lol
