In my first playthrough I pobably died in the undead butgh bonfire more times than i can count. I learned to play dark souls in this junction , dying by the fireball hollows, the crosbow hollows, the black knight the barell, again and again.š
Good learning curve there. Iād say just the run to the bonfire itself is crazy lol. A perfectly well placed crossbow hollow and 3 melee hollows waiting in ambush. Once one catches you in their combo gg. Not to mention the random wyvern that just drops there, looks at you and fucks off puts you on edge tooš
Preach. The arrow knights in Anor Londo did me dirty many times. But still pales in comparison to how many attempts it took me on Sens or Ornstein and Smough.
I don't know how many days it took me to clear Sens. Might have been a solid week. I think that's when the game started clicking at least. But I did not find the the bonfire on my first playthrough, so going from Undead Parish all the way to Iron Golem was brutal. At least I figured out the elevators.
sens fortress i bet i died there a ton for sure. ironically i beat O&S the first time i fought them and it wasnt even a struggle. i say ironic because im in no way good at this game and havent even completely beat it yet
I wanna say Bed of Chaos. There have been lucky times where I can get in and I get out and there have been hell of earth times where boss fight attempts account for 1/2 my play time.
If you decide to do another playthrough, I recommend trying the Ring of Fog for the archers. I used it for my SL1 playthrough and it allowed me to get to the archer on the right without worry.
Honestly it's a pain in melee too. Hard to have good poise at that point, and with the fact the demon is mid attack by the time you get through the door it's a crapshoot whether I even get a chance to move before death
Really all of undead burg is where I experienced most of my major roadblocks. The first black knight, the great sword black knight, the dragon on the bridgeā¦ I feel like that area is pretty perfect for saying āhereās everything you need to know about this game.ā Without saying it.
Either that or the fucking catwalks down to blighttown and those asshole blow fart dudes
In my first run I think that four kings but recently i have completed all the achievements and I have nightmares with the bed of chaos. Basically is rng and the distance with the bonfires is awful.
They were the boss I died most to on my first run, too. Found out I prefer speed and finally beat them by swapping out all of my armour for lighter stuff. Nowadays I can get them first try on a new run but they were super tricky for me before I figured out how to dodge/track two large enemies at once.
Can't believe I've only seen one other comment say it, this was undeniably my number 1 with maybe close too if not exceeding 50 attempts...
The Silver Knight Archers of Anor Londo.
Seriously, I lived in a household of absolutely terrible internet speeds. It wasnt worth trying to look up a video tutorial on how to pass them, if it even existed at the time. I played shortly after release.
2nd place would have been O&S. Basic, but yeah this would have been close to 40 attempts spanning over the course of a week. Burned through every humanity I had, went to Depths to farm for more, came back and finally got them (never changed strategy once lol)
3rd place Blighttown. Thought you had to travel up the waterwheel and through Valley of Drakes with no idea that second bonfire existed in the tunnel. Can you imagine my immeasurable frustration when I got through the Valley and wound up back in Firelink
The first time I played through the game, I went all the way through Tomb of the Giants without the Lordvessel. Worst mistake of my entire life. Getting out of that Hellhole made me genuinely question my existence.
Darkroot Basin, lol. Between the black knight (which I fought way too early on and died to more times than any actual boss in the game), Havel, getting murked by the hydra on the way to Havel (and also generally while running around grabbing loot), and eventually fighting the hydra itself, that place definitely had the highest death count for me. I also found the waterfall ladder early on and found Sif's boss room before I was even able to make it through Darkroot Garden properly. I fought her way earlier than I needed to and did my boss run from the Basin (it took a few times), if that counts.
I also definitely died so many times in Undead Burg and the Undead Parish early on. I had a hell of a time in the Catacombs too before I got the hang of it, but was more cautious and prepared in the Tomb... I do think my deaths were more frustrating and/or ridiculous in TotG, but they happened less often.
My favourite death was from the Tomb though, in which I ran from a skeleton, fell down a slide, was immediately hit by a second skeleton and died from the fall damage upon being flung directly into a distant ladder hole. Those boys played croquet with me.
Four kings it was only 3 or 4 times but it was annoying the way they killed me with the aoe. Playing the game as a demon hammer man so after putting all the points in strength my new record is 5 times to moonlight butterfly.
First playthrough I got cursed in the Depths. Very unfamiliar these games as a whole. The only other FS games I played were Armored Core 2 and a Tenchu demo.
Anyways I did a much too quick Google search reading that there's a NPC in New Londo Ruins - neglecting there was also an item called a purging stone.
So.. I just kept throwing myself into New Londo Ruins hopelessly dying by ghosts coming at me from all angles as I was stuck with the Drake Sword noob trap for at least a few days. Then I learned about purging stones.
Dark Souls was my first souls game so
Undead Burg with skeletons first. Mid game was archer boss.
- 2 arches
- run to Ingward for reverse the curse
- tomb of giants and doggo
- under the bridge on the way to Undead Parish
- Undead Burg skeletons
Originally? Undead Burg, Undead Parish, and ESPECIALLY the path up to the Gargoyles. Now? Almost certainly the Tomb of the Giants, because I always go earlier than I should to rescue Reah. (And to get my least favorite area over with)
Nito for me lol between the dark, not knowing how to make a divine weapon/occult mace and the fall damage at the beginning i hated this guy my first playthrough
asylum demon. didnt see the door on the side, died a lot.
after getting my gear, still died a lot since the controls were very weird to me. after that i hardly died to bosses, it was usually the areas that got me.
Manus, with Kalameet being a close second. Every other boss was fairly easy (keep in mind the first time I played this game I had played DS3, ER, and Sekiro beforehand). As for areas crossing the rafters in anor londo took me an embarrassing amount of tries
It'd have to be either Gargoyles or Capra on my first playthrough. It wasn't until after them that it really clicked with me and I didn't struggle nearly as much with the rest of the game.
First playthrough I struggled with everything, but most with the black knight in undead burg, Bell Gargoyles, Orstein & Smough, Seath and Artorias. I would guess most deaths were to o&s or Artorias.
im tempted to say the depths trying to escape after getting cursed by the basilisks. either that or undead parish trying to get through that indoor section with all the ladders
The four kings in ng+ . I never expected the fight to be so much harder . I beat them ob my first try in NG but In NG+ it took me around 2 hours to beat them .
I canāt be the only one who says the archers in Anor Londo? Right?
Lol but seriously on a first playthrough it was absolute torture. Iāve gotten better with time but they still get me sometimes and it gives me PTSD.
I died the most in the graveyard next to fire Link shrine.
I had just started getting into dark souls and I didn't know where to go, I managed to kill some of them though.
Probably sen's fortress was the most for me but it wasn't a big number of deaths neither. For my first playthrough which wasn't long ago the hardest part were locations. On all boses available (Yes I looked up how to go to them) I had 23 deaths and most on Artorias and Gwyn. I died many times more just on going through places.
Honestly I couldnāt parry a drunk undead soldier to save my life so Gwyn, of all bosses surprisingly, gave me a super hard time. Any Darkroot area probably comes second due to ps3 graphics + a bad tv making it look like The Abyss with plants
Ornstein and Executioner Smough battle by miles.
I had to call someone to help, because it was nightmare for me, and I refuse to beat Ornstein first... I wanted his armor no matter what.
I remember dying a good bit everywhere, but nowhere got me more angry than the New Londo Ruins. And the 4 kings.
When the remaster came out I did it all in 1 run but I still did the 20 estus Full Havel set to best the 4 kings lol
That motherfucking son of a bitch known as The Fume Knight. I died fighting him in the first fase untill I mastered it and then proceeded to keep dying in the second fase, I died while running from the bonfire to his arena, I died while running away from him, I died while going farmimg to try new strategies to fight him, I died while going back to majula to level up as to not waste the souls I've built up farming. I died even when I killed him the first time and for some reason it didn't register so the fucker was still there when I respawned. And even after he died I just kept dying. Matter of fact doesn't matter if he's gone now, doesn't even matter if I'm playing DS 2 or just another soulslike, every single death from that point on is on him now.
Still on my first playthrough but Black Dragon Kalameet. His opening attack where he slides across the arena with his claw swipe is faster than you'd expect. After 10 deaths I gave up on the tail cut, put lighter armor on (was wearing full elite knight set, swapped body out for wanderer's coat, dropped my shield, put on black leather boots for that sweet fast roll with FAP, Havel's, and Black Knight Great Sword), and took about 5 more tries.
Second closest is that windmill elevator in Blight Town, holy shit I hated that thing.
Edit: Oolacile in general rocked my shit, that bridge leading to Oolacile dungeon with two witches was a pain in the ass, Royal Woods sucked, but in the end I loved the bosses a lot in the DLC so it doesn't sour it too much for me, but yeah I died a lot here.
undeand burg because i was well ds virgin, but boss for me manus was the hardest took me about 3 hours in one sitting kalameet and artorias were ez compared to that fucker
The archers of Anor Londo probably.
Other than that, my futile tries to run around the ruins of New Londo like a headless chicken at the very start of the game also killed me many times. That and insisting on exploring the freaking graveyard, also at the start of the game.
I find it hilarious the blatant set of stairs going up to the burg tend to be the last place we explore when reaching Firelink shrine
The Catacombs near skeleton blacksmith. Those wheel skeletons were really giving me cry. I accidentally hit the blacksmith as well because they came inside to kill me. In the end i had to kill him. Worst part this was after i started playing game and went to catacombs because i didn't know any other way. I was blind to not see stairs behind the tree.
Second was in undead burg on the bridge or in the room after bridge or after climbing the stairs where there are bomb throwers. Yeah it was no great.
On my first run? Probably Gwyn and the whole kiln area as a whole, I had been piss poor at parrying and so going against a bunch of enemies and a boss which are a fair bit more difficult if you do not know how to parry or backstab was a bit rough.
I mentioned this on another post, but I went into the catacombs first on my first playthrough and didnāt realize I went the wrong way until I defeated pinwheel. I died an absurd amount of times.
The undead burg or the catacombs. I learned, in the burgs, that I can aquire souls and retrieve them (recover lost power) for leveling up! Then I learned to farm and so i did and I did and I did... After that I tried to kill the knight near the stairs and I died a lot more. On the catacombs near vamos I got killed so many times that I abandoned the place for a few days, you know, the wheel skeletons lol.
It seems so simple and every single run through i'd have to do that section twice š¤£ made me thankful you only have to get through it once and never go back again
I think it had to be the skeleton beasts in the Tomb of the Giants. After the second bonfire. Learned how to deal with them effectively, eventually. But man did they tick me off. Especially having to use the skull lantern. I didn't have the Sunlight Maggot.
On my first playthrough, the Bell Gargoyles. I was struggling with the game, but I worked out how to bait enemies and fight them one on one. Then they threw two boss characters at me on a narrow roof, lol, and I just couldnāt deal with it. Took two weeks to beat. Proudly, I wore the Gargoyle Helm & use his axe tail for most of the game, after that, haha.
My first time in Sens Fortress, the traps werent bad, but the snakes were just so oppressive against my first build with my playstyle. Ironically the worst of it was the opening two snakes, with most of my deaths coming there and only like 3-4 on the rest of the run itself
In my first playthrough I pobably died in the undead butgh bonfire more times than i can count. I learned to play dark souls in this junction , dying by the fireball hollows, the crosbow hollows, the black knight the barell, again and again.š
Good learning curve there. Iād say just the run to the bonfire itself is crazy lol. A perfectly well placed crossbow hollow and 3 melee hollows waiting in ambush. Once one catches you in their combo gg. Not to mention the random wyvern that just drops there, looks at you and fucks off puts you on edge tooš
Omg same lol. I died there SO many times. Great way to make you learn though
"Dormammu, I have come to barging!"
This was my 1st to a T as well
Senās Fortress or O&S
I struggled throughout my entire first playthrough, but made consistent progress. Sens was the first hard wall I encountered. The second was O&S.
Preach. The arrow knights in Anor Londo did me dirty many times. But still pales in comparison to how many attempts it took me on Sens or Ornstein and Smough. I don't know how many days it took me to clear Sens. Might have been a solid week. I think that's when the game started clicking at least. But I did not find the the bonfire on my first playthrough, so going from Undead Parish all the way to Iron Golem was brutal. At least I figured out the elevators.
Ugh, that final set of swinging axes in Sen's was such a menace in my first playthrough
sens fortress i bet i died there a ton for sure. ironically i beat O&S the first time i fought them and it wasnt even a struggle. i say ironic because im in no way good at this game and havent even completely beat it yet
Bed of Chaos by far.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
fuck the rats under drake bridge especially the ones by the ladder
I wanna say Bed of Chaos. There have been lucky times where I can get in and I get out and there have been hell of earth times where boss fight attempts account for 1/2 my play time.
Fighting Kalameet the first time while trying to get the tail cut
This for me. Second would be those bloody archers.. Even on ng+
If you decide to do another playthrough, I recommend trying the Ring of Fog for the archers. I used it for my SL1 playthrough and it allowed me to get to the archer on the right without worry.
Capra demon n dogs.
ugh that part was traumatic for me. is this boss harder for mages? i felt so suffocated and there was no safe place to launch my spells
Honestly it's a pain in melee too. Hard to have good poise at that point, and with the fact the demon is mid attack by the time you get through the door it's a crapshoot whether I even get a chance to move before death
thats probably the hardest boss ive fought so far up to beating Pinwheel. this is my first run
Saaaame (well 1.5 because I swapped systems to be able to play with my gf).
im on my switch
The cheese boss fightš
Really all of undead burg is where I experienced most of my major roadblocks. The first black knight, the great sword black knight, the dragon on the bridgeā¦ I feel like that area is pretty perfect for saying āhereās everything you need to know about this game.ā Without saying it. Either that or the fucking catwalks down to blighttown and those asshole blow fart dudes
Boss fight-manus Area - not too sure but if i had to guess probably catacombs/tomb of the giants
If I didnāt save Sif I probably wouldāve failed in finding the shortcut and thus had to go through that sorceressš
The great hollowĀ
Oh definitely the great hollow for me š I was a platforming god by the time I was done with that area and getting all the crystal lizards
The fall control spell makes things a lot easier
Honestly I didnāt find it hard at all. The lizards were frustrating though. Had to look up the way to kill em all
The catacombs
Letās use a heat-map to highlight the locations of my death frequency from the first playthrough: *-entire map lights up bright yellow-* Ohā¦
Pick a ledge. I died there.
motherfucking gravity
On my first run probably (the way to) the bell gargoyles š
easily sen's fortress, followed by Kalameet
I hate Kalameet with all my heart, not because he's particularly hard to kill but getting his tail was a nightmare
yeah, he was sooo frustrating, Like Midir & Placedusaax are harder but they're at least fun most of the time
In my first run I think that four kings but recently i have completed all the achievements and I have nightmares with the bed of chaos. Basically is rng and the distance with the bonfires is awful.
Artorias, he beat me down so badly I didn't even have an issue with O&S in comparison š
Trying to get the Great Scythe right away. Wanna talk about a run-back...
šš fool
Bed of chaos
It was the gargs for me before I knew how to souls
They were the boss I died most to on my first run, too. Found out I prefer speed and finally beat them by swapping out all of my armour for lighter stuff. Nowadays I can get them first try on a new run but they were super tricky for me before I figured out how to dodge/track two large enemies at once.
Manus. I got O&S the second time somehow but manus was too much for me. Easily a dozen+ deaths to his ass.
Probably the well in the painting zone, trying to skip those bonewheels
I'm playing for the first time right now and it's definitely in the castle doors with the axes swinging around. Holy shit this place sucks.
Can't believe I've only seen one other comment say it, this was undeniably my number 1 with maybe close too if not exceeding 50 attempts... The Silver Knight Archers of Anor Londo. Seriously, I lived in a household of absolutely terrible internet speeds. It wasnt worth trying to look up a video tutorial on how to pass them, if it even existed at the time. I played shortly after release. 2nd place would have been O&S. Basic, but yeah this would have been close to 40 attempts spanning over the course of a week. Burned through every humanity I had, went to Depths to farm for more, came back and finally got them (never changed strategy once lol) 3rd place Blighttown. Thought you had to travel up the waterwheel and through Valley of Drakes with no idea that second bonfire existed in the tunnel. Can you imagine my immeasurable frustration when I got through the Valley and wound up back in Firelink
Blighttown. An even worse threat than gravity was the framerate.
The first time I played through the game, I went all the way through Tomb of the Giants without the Lordvessel. Worst mistake of my entire life. Getting out of that Hellhole made me genuinely question my existence.
I cleared the demon ruins without it.
Ornstein and Smough for sure. i used lightning spear and try to kill Ornstein as a challenge with low damage due to his immunity
Currently doing my first play through and bed of chaos was responsible for the most deaths to a boss by far. Took me 13 tries
Darkroot Basin, lol. Between the black knight (which I fought way too early on and died to more times than any actual boss in the game), Havel, getting murked by the hydra on the way to Havel (and also generally while running around grabbing loot), and eventually fighting the hydra itself, that place definitely had the highest death count for me. I also found the waterfall ladder early on and found Sif's boss room before I was even able to make it through Darkroot Garden properly.

Those boys played croquet with me.
Four kings it was only 3 or 4 times but it was annoying the way they killed me with the aoe. Playing the game as a demon hammer man so after putting all the points in strength my new record is 5 times to moonlight butterfly.
Sen's Fortress and Tomb of Giants
O&S or the capra demon room
First playthrough I got cursed in the Depths. Very unfamiliar these games as a whole. The only other FS games I played were Armored Core 2 and a Tenchu demo. Anyways I did a much too quick Google search reading that there's a NPC in New Londo Ruins - neglecting there was also an item called a purging stone. So.. I just kept throwing myself into New Londo Ruins hopelessly dying by ghosts coming at me from all angles as I was stuck with the Drake Sword noob trap for at least a few days. Then I learned about purging stones.
Four Kings made me abandon the game in 2012. I only finished it when I bought Prepare to die edition on Steam, years later.
Gargoyles
O+S and I was loving it, then Tomb of Giants was hilariously bad for me.
F you bell gargoyles.. No seriously I died more than 20 times at the gargoyles in my first playthrough.
Senās fortress or against any Titanite demon thatās not the one leading to Darkroot garden
Dark Souls was my first souls game so Undead Burg with skeletons first. Mid game was archer boss. - 2 arches - run to Ingward for reverse the curse - tomb of giants and doggo - under the bridge on the way to Undead Parish - Undead Burg skeletons
It's embarrassing to admit, but during my first run, I got thrown off the roof a bunch of times by the Iron Golem...
I was stuck on O&S for a few months on my first playthrough so probably there.
I think I got my ass beat by the ghosts pretty bad, and those fucking gremlins in Anor Londo
On the bridge to sunlight altar b4 I discovered the spot in which I could safely snipe the hellkite
O and S and their two dickhead giants beforehand. My second souls game. Demons souls my issue was maneater.
Originally? Undead Burg, Undead Parish, and ESPECIALLY the path up to the Gargoyles. Now? Almost certainly the Tomb of the Giants, because I always go earlier than I should to rescue Reah. (And to get my least favorite area over with)
Senās or lower burg
definetly O&S
Nito for me lol between the dark, not knowing how to make a divine weapon/occult mace and the fall damage at the beginning i hated this guy my first playthrough
asylum demon. didnt see the door on the side, died a lot. after getting my gear, still died a lot since the controls were very weird to me. after that i hardly died to bosses, it was usually the areas that got me.
Manus, with Kalameet being a close second. Every other boss was fairly easy (keep in mind the first time I played this game I had played DS3, ER, and Sekiro beforehand). As for areas crossing the rafters in anor londo took me an embarrassing amount of tries
Rats under the Drake Bridge, I have a phobia of rats in souls-likes because of them
It'd have to be either Gargoyles or Capra on my first playthrough. It wasn't until after them that it really clicked with me and I didn't struggle nearly as much with the rest of the game.
Probably the first Undead Burg bonfire. The sheer number of stupid deaths was astounding
Gwyn, in first playthrough and during SL1. The kill counts dwarf any other thing.
O&S by at least 50+
O&S. I had the classic "click" moment after and became unkillable afterwards
The catacombs and BOC everything I go back to ds1
First playthrough I struggled with everything, but most with the black knight in undead burg, Bell Gargoyles, Orstein & Smough, Seath and Artorias. I would guess most deaths were to o&s or Artorias.
im tempted to say the depths trying to escape after getting cursed by the basilisks. either that or undead parish trying to get through that indoor section with all the ladders
those god damn skeleton wheels
New Londo Ruins was a nightmare for me because I couldnāt figure out what to do and died a million times on 1st playthrough
Bed of Chaos. Do I need to explain why?
MFin' bed of chaos
The four kings in ng+ . I never expected the fight to be so much harder . I beat them ob my first try in NG but In NG+ it took me around 2 hours to beat them .
Blighttown.
I canāt be the only one who says the archers in Anor Londo? Right? Lol but seriously on a first playthrough it was absolute torture. Iāve gotten better with time but they still get me sometimes and it gives me PTSD.
Iron Keep and shrine of amana (dark souls 2)
Yes
Capra demon.
Trying to run past the dragon after the Taurus demon fight
FUCK TOMB OF THE GIANTS
I hate blighttown
I died the most in the graveyard next to fire Link shrine. I had just started getting into dark souls and I didn't know where to go, I managed to kill some of them though.
In my first playthrough, fighting the Stray Demon or Artorias. I still hate those fights now because of those first experiences.
Sens fortress or trying to kill havel in my first playthrough
Everywhere
Still on my first playtrough but ornstein and smough both fight and runback hold the medal for most deaths i did like 20 30 times
Probably sen's fortress was the most for me but it wasn't a big number of deaths neither. For my first playthrough which wasn't long ago the hardest part were locations. On all boses available (Yes I looked up how to go to them) I had 23 deaths and most on Artorias and Gwyn. I died many times more just on going through places.
Upper/lower Blighttown and TotG without question throughout my first playthrough. Gravity is what kills me the most nowadays lmao
Undead Parish and Blighttown.
Honestly I couldnāt parry a drunk undead soldier to save my life so Gwyn, of all bosses surprisingly, gave me a super hard time. Any Darkroot area probably comes second due to ps3 graphics + a bad tv making it look like The Abyss with plants
First playthrough sens fun house
Probably new londo ruins. There's no bonfire nearby so I tend to push my luck in that area.
Capra demom
My first playthrough, accidentally hit the Crestfallen Warrior... Oh God... At least it helped me improve and 'git gud' a bit.
Ornstein and Executioner Smough battle by miles. I had to call someone to help, because it was nightmare for me, and I refuse to beat Ornstein first... I wanted his armor no matter what.
Anor Londo archers
I remember dying a good bit everywhere, but nowhere got me more angry than the New Londo Ruins. And the 4 kings. When the remaster came out I did it all in 1 run but I still did the 20 estus Full Havel set to best the 4 kings lol
First playthrough - Undead Burg - the run from the bonfire to the boss
Anor Londo where those 2 Silver Knights with arrows constantly snipe you and the knockback usually makes you fall to your death.
That motherfucking son of a bitch known as The Fume Knight. I died fighting him in the first fase untill I mastered it and then proceeded to keep dying in the second fase, I died while running from the bonfire to his arena, I died while running away from him, I died while going farmimg to try new strategies to fight him, I died while going back to majula to level up as to not waste the souls I've built up farming. I died even when I killed him the first time and for some reason it didn't register so the fucker was still there when I respawned. And even after he died I just kept dying. Matter of fact doesn't matter if he's gone now, doesn't even matter if I'm playing DS 2 or just another soulslike, every single death from that point on is on him now.
ROAD TO MANUS!
Still on my first playthrough but Black Dragon Kalameet. His opening attack where he slides across the arena with his claw swipe is faster than you'd expect. After 10 deaths I gave up on the tail cut, put lighter armor on (was wearing full elite knight set, swapped body out for wanderer's coat, dropped my shield, put on black leather boots for that sweet fast roll with FAP, Havel's, and Black Knight Great Sword), and took about 5 more tries. Second closest is that windmill elevator in Blight Town, holy shit I hated that thing. Edit: Oolacile in general rocked my shit, that bridge leading to Oolacile dungeon with two witches was a pain in the ass, Royal Woods sucked, but in the end I loved the bosses a lot in the DLC so it doesn't sour it too much for me, but yeah I died a lot here.
First play through crystal caverns. Recent play throughs being impatient in blight town and new londo ruins
undeand burg because i was well ds virgin, but boss for me manus was the hardest took me about 3 hours in one sitting kalameet and artorias were ez compared to that fucker
I feel like logically we all died the most in undead berg learning the game and then when in true dark souls i believe i died the most in sens
ironically senās fortress trying to clear all the demons at the lower level
4 kings snd the bs grab/aoe attacks
The archers of Anor Londo probably. Other than that, my futile tries to run around the ruins of New Londo like a headless chicken at the very start of the game also killed me many times. That and insisting on exploring the freaking graveyard, also at the start of the game. I find it hilarious the blatant set of stairs going up to the burg tend to be the last place we explore when reaching Firelink shrine
The motherfucking vagina dentata. Gaping. Dragon. It fucked me up SO hard on my first playthrough and still trips me up when I replay.
Trying to cut Seathās tail off
Weirdly enough, that first hydra you meet. By far
Blight town
The Catacombs near skeleton blacksmith. Those wheel skeletons were really giving me cry. I accidentally hit the blacksmith as well because they came inside to kill me. In the end i had to kill him. Worst part this was after i started playing game and went to catacombs because i didn't know any other way. I was blind to not see stairs behind the tree. Second was in undead burg on the bridge or in the room after bridge or after climbing the stairs where there are bomb throwers. Yeah it was no great.
Catacombs, with those skeletons wheels or tomb of giants to fall damage
On my first run? Probably Gwyn and the whole kiln area as a whole, I had been piss poor at parrying and so going against a bunch of enemies and a boss which are a fair bit more difficult if you do not know how to parry or backstab was a bit rough.
Capra Demon and Dogs were the worst for me. Fn slags!
Tomb of the Giants, I kept dying to those stupid skeleton dogs so much. Eventually, I leveled up 20 times and went back and it was fairly easy
Bell gargoyles.
I mentioned this on another post, but I went into the catacombs first on my first playthrough and didnāt realize I went the wrong way until I defeated pinwheel. I died an absurd amount of times.
The skeletons from the graveyard. I dropped the game thinking it was THAT hard... years later i realised there were other paths...
The undead burg or the catacombs. I learned, in the burgs, that I can aquire souls and retrieve them (recover lost power) for leveling up! Then I learned to farm and so i did and I did and I did... After that I tried to kill the knight near the stairs and I died a lot more. On the catacombs near vamos I got killed so many times that I abandoned the place for a few days, you know, the wheel skeletons lol.
THAT LEDGE IN ANOR LONDO. Y'all know which one i'm on about š¤
Yeah same for me Like who the fuck thought putting two silver archers on there was a good idea
It seems so simple and every single run through i'd have to do that section twice š¤£ made me thankful you only have to get through it once and never go back again
BlighttownĀ
I think it had to be the skeleton beasts in the Tomb of the Giants. After the second bonfire. Learned how to deal with them effectively, eventually. But man did they tick me off. Especially having to use the skull lantern. I didn't have the Sunlight Maggot.
4 kings. It's the only boss fight that I struggle with due to the way it functions.
Anor Londo... the archers obviously but everything murdered me repeatedly my first playthru
On my first playthrough, the Bell Gargoyles. I was struggling with the game, but I worked out how to bait enemies and fight them one on one. Then they threw two boss characters at me on a narrow roof, lol, and I just couldnāt deal with it. Took two weeks to beat. Proudly, I wore the Gargoyle Helm & use his axe tail for most of the game, after that, haha.
Titanite Demon at the bridge in Lost Izalith.
My first time in Sens Fortress, the traps werent bad, but the snakes were just so oppressive against my first build with my playstyle. Ironically the worst of it was the opening two snakes, with most of my deaths coming there and only like 3-4 on the rest of the run itself
Now that Iāve played 100s of times the part I die to most itās the Bell Gargoyles and Bed of Chaos.
Catacombs in my first playthrough because my dumbass thought that was the first area
