YOU DIED...the tale of a poor pyromancer who finds himself in Lordran the most unforgiving place in gaming (V2.0 for those of you who remember that demon souls exists)

Episode 8.5 Decisions, Decisions, Decisions +Episode 9:Into the mouth of hell we maaaaaaaarch

Episode 8.5:

Loaded up the game found myself in the depths and remembered I was still not done farming humanity

I do about 10 runs to get all the humanity I need (later I find out I had plenty)

While Im doing these I realize something weird some of the smaller rats reward u with 60 souls but if u kill them with a plunge attack it gives u 72 souls
and the large rats they give u 100 souls but if u kill them with a pyromancy u get 120 souls
im seeing 20% increase depending on how u kill it
and it seems every enemy type has a method of landing more souls
this will need more research later

Anyway I get out of the depths
use the souls I have to level up twice increasing my dex and int

Thats right im no longer going to join the forest hunter covenant to get the uchi

I just headed to undead burg and killed the male undead merchant

Upgraded my uchi to +5 and bought magic weapon from the sorcerer in firelink shrine

Tested out the uchi and it kicked the drake swords a**
and the best part was that its going to get better with time

I head to blight town to sacrifice all my farmed humanity for that spider lady
when I get there im delighted to find that u have to offer humanity one at a time

THAT WAS TONS OF FUN took me about 15 mins to get to level 2 and because I needed magic weapon now and only had 2 attunement slots I didnt even test it L going to have to test it later when I get the 3rd slot

While im there I try and see what is in demons ruin
walking forward to see whats ahead I fall down a small cliff and get stuck see a fog gate ahead so I thought to myself normal enemies ahead
I step through and bam there is one UGLY fire thingy there and the fog gate is blocking the way back so I walk towards it but it doesnt attack so I ignore it for now and go for that lovely looking corpse
I loot it and bam music is on boss health bar appears
and he hits me once and kills me

At least that is what I thought
turns out I had a few health points left just couldnt see them on the bar with my naked eye
short story even shorter he kills me since my sword does 13 damage and bow does 7 damage to him

Left blight town and headed back to undead parish as my new safe zone rested at te bonfire and close the game coz my sister was back home and wanted to watch TV

Episode 9:

While my sister was watching tv he tells me about a place I missed in dark root basin

The hidden connection to valley of drakes with a dark knight guarding it

Also I realize I havent check that new armor set I got
and oh is that armor set good almost worth it losing the 8k and human form Ive lost

so first thing I do is head to dark root basin

Kill the black knight easily and head to the valley of drakes
I see the first blue drake and kill it easily thanks to the bleed effect of the uchi
only needed one flask due to a couple of mistakes

I see 3-4 more guarding a corpse im like no way in hell im aggroing more than one of those
I see a side path and take it
I meet another blue drake there
and he was a b*** without the ability to side step his lighting attack killing him was a pain in the a**

Used up all my estus except for one killing him

That plus the fact that this made me reach the other side of the dragon I saw next to blighttowns entrance to valley of drakes are enough reasons for me to head back
while I was there I decide to take a stab at the red drake in undead burg blocking the way into undead parish
bad idea I get my butt handed to me thanks to the camera and the fact that the dragon did nothing but breathe fire on me

Since I had zero souls I decide to give the hydra a try
when I fall into the lake I decide to leave the hydra to when I need to kill her

Getting by butt handed to me by 3 optional bosses was enough to break my fear of sens fortress
but before I go there I upgraded my uchi to +7(all the large shards I had)
and step into the deadly house of traps

And omg am I glad I got the uchi
without it killing those serpent heads would have been a pain
with the uchi its bearable

I meet the bridge with the swinging axes
in any other game its nothing
Ive seen this thing in so many games starting from Aladdin on DoS

To major mayhem on my android
but this is the first time I was really scared of it

I pass this one and the second one and get to the part with the huge rock falling down
I manage to get hit by it only once and survive and get one floor higher
I step through a door hear a weird voice and see that the huge falling rock takes a U-turn exactly where I was standing I get stuck under it(thank you havok) and obviously die

Since sens fortress was scaring the crap out of me and it was getting late
I decide to call it a night

While im there I opened 2 boxes one had something I cant recall the other had 2 large titane shards

So I use the titane shards to upgrade my uchi to +8 so next time I head into that hell hole I can be even stronger

PS:did anyone notice a slight frame drop when the bleed effect hits an enemy ?

Also did anyone else notice that extra 20% souls thingy ?
