humanity is used to revive to Human form/Regaining Human form costs 1 Humanity point, which can be spent at a Bonfire. Human form will allow players to summon Phantoms for help and guidance on their journey. Human form will allow players to invade another player's world.
Additionally on the topic of humanity, once you've come human by spending the Humanity point as mentioned, you can spend an additional humanity to Kindle the bonfire you are resting at. This gives you an additional 5 Estus flasks whenever you rest at it and is fairly worth doing for bonfires you'll be returning to frequently. Also, you don't necessarily waste humanity when you use them to heal, though it can be risky for the same reason: using a humanity in your inventory increases the counter next to your health bar, sometimes referred to as your 'active,' or 'soft,' humanity. These are what you spend at bonfires to become human and kindle but, more importantly, are dropped on death and held in your bloodstain to be retrieved along with your souls when touched. Super cool to see someone experiencing this game for the first time, it's always been one of my all time favorites. Looking forward to more, don't you dare go hollow!
1. when youre knocked down, try to roll out of it, you'll get back up quicker. 2. two hand your weapon as you aren't using a shield. itll boost your damage and your reach. 3. take some armor off to keep your equipped load down to 25% of your max load, that way you can roll faster and its worth sacrificing the defense.
Bro that was some of the funniest shit I’ve seen today. Keep up the good work brother. Btw you can summon a few people to help you with ur boss fight after reserve hollowing and also kindle the bonfire which allows you to get more estus flask. Hope this helps, God bless.
I'm loving this, man. Gonna be here for the whole journey. Didn't comment on the first one but you're doing great. One tip I'll give is that locking on is really situational in DS1 and 2, especially for bosses. On big enemies like Taurus Demon it can make dodging attacks harder as it's usually useful to get really close to those enemies to avoid their large swings, which locking on discourages with how it swings your camera around when you do that. It also makes your rolls worse. In the first 2 games positioning matters a lot, hugging a boss' side can be more effective to dodge their attacks than rolling sometimes.
@IAmGDUB When in doubt in a 1 on 1, raise your shield and lock on to the enemy and try to circle behind them to get a backstab. Shields block all (or nearly all, depending) incoming damage, so they're useful for learning the game for sure.
It's a beautiful thing to see you playing through the gauntlet, so I just need to give you fair warning, you're gonna be wondering who's throwing things at you for a good 80% of the game lol. Just remind yourself, _it's all for the love._
That bull breaking the door thing was very creative from you...unfortunately no such thing lol. Anyway, that was great, very funny. DS is a more of a wait for your turn kind of game than elden ring. Just gonna say that bull and dragon not required....
These videos funny asl bro lmao. Summons aint cheating but they do make it way easier. Not every boss has a summon so its not like you can rely on them but I say if you wanna make the series more interesting do no summons cuz that way throughout the series we can see how you improved and got better at the game. it also feels more accomplishing to beat the game like that.
Dark Souls released before Elden Ring, so there's absolutely no way to crouch in this game. You literally have to walk super slowly behind enemies and hope for the best that you can backstab. Btw, a few things. Dark Souls had this interesting system where you can loop back around to different bonfires, you can't fast travel at all. This game came before DS3, as that game introduced fast travel, and then Elden Ring introduced the map. The game can be a bit unfair at times, but again, this was literally before they knew how to make beating bosses satisfying, or even make them a little fair. To get past the Hellkite Drake, (the dragon on the bridge) you have to wait in that little area next to the stairs until he hops down, and then run and hope for the best that he doesn't hit you while running past.
Interesting how you said the boss I juggling you it's Tekken. For some odd reason, I always thought that souls games are like fighting games in that anything literally ANYTHING can happen. You have to work on spacing. You can also rush down the opponent. There's also similar mechanics like timing input, frame intervals, (anticipation frames), parrying, blocking, dodging, unblockable moves, and hit boxes.
was gonna comment this bf the last vid was taken down but still wanted to give ya some tips :>>> the gargoyles are hellaa harrddd but ur doing really great so far!!!! For right now tips:: - that bridge with the dragon u came from is a good spot for farming a lotta souls for leveling up -- what u do is rest at the last bonfire that u kicked the ladder down too, go up the ladder and up the stairs to the bridge, bait the dragon to breath fire and he'll kill all the enemies on the bridge for u while u run back to the bonfire to reset. - u might have missed a merchant in the previous area too. to get to him, go to that last bonfire by the dragon-kickeddown ladder, walk to the right down the stairs by the archer, and make a left past the small bridge with two spear dudes. there will be a bunch of crates u can roll into that are hiding a staircase with an undead merchant in the area below (careful not to attack him, hes ugly but he'll prly kill u) he sells armor, weapons, and a bow/arrows!!! (useful for the next tip) -if u buy a bow/arrows from the undead merchant (u'll need at least 50 arrows but i always get more bc i miss like crazy), u can go under the dragon bridge (on the path that leads to the rats) and shoot the dragon's tail off from the right side. make sure to aim low enough to hit the tip-ish of the tail. once u hit his tail enough, ull get a sword that does a lotta damage while u have lowish stats -u can actually run past the dragon and get to that bonfire that's walled off and get some neat items and stuff that are around there (a nice sword is there too). from the ladder bonfire, go up the stairs and wait in the corner hugging both walls on the right towards the dragon. u should be protected from any flames he spits out there. after a while, the dragon will jump down onto the bridge, and thats ur chance to book it between his legs and run to the bonfire General tips:: - resistance is kind of the least useful stat (instead of leveling resistance, u can put levels into endurance which will let u wear better/heavier armor and let u roll more) -firekeeper souls are really useful, they make ur estus flasks heal more hp, BUT u have to go back to firelink shrine (the area the crow brought u) and give them to the lady down the stairs under the bonfire instead of using them directly (they just give humanity and not boost your estus flasks if you use them urself) -that blacksmith u met at that new bonfire lets u upgrade ur weapons and gear if u have the right materials (titanite shards for most weapons) -attunement gives u more "slots" for spells and stuff, and the more attunement u have the more spells u can cast (right now u probably dont have many spells u have access too and ull need to level intelligence or faith to use them) -SEMI-SPOILERS: that golden guy u met should have moved back to firelink shrine near where the firekeeper is under the bonfire. he's kind of a bad guy lol, u can kill him at firelink by kicking him off the ledge he's at (to kick u flick ur joystick forward and light attack [kicks push foes back a bit and can make those shield guys drop their guard but they do no damage) and he'll give u a really good ring that raises all ur stats. (u can also let him live but he'll kill ur firekeeper and u wont b able to make ur estus flasks stronger for a while) i love ur vids bruv, u got this >:)))))
some of the best gameplay i have ever seen, please upgrade you attunement stat, it makes it so your equipment is lighter and you get more invincibility frames per roll
@@IAmGDUB this guy just straight up trolled you icl, attunement increases spell slots which isnt great build for a good playthrough, probably wanna focus vitality (more health) endurance (more stamina, meaning you can swing more times in a row and run more and roll more) and strength (will increase your damage with strength based weapons which is what you're using rn)
Most deaths are coming from poor decision making, don't let size intimidate, everything in this game is a pushover, Dark Souls is not hard, a few bosses can be but that's it, and the best advice, do not lock on, better control for your rolls
