DISCUSSION Ranking the Dark Souls Trilogy bosses by morality

Thumbnail gallery
71 Upvotes

This is my ranking based purely on the lore of the bosses, I’m open to discuss. The explanation of the tiers:

Literal Satan - Bosses who are pure, irredeemable monsters that commited unimaginable atrocities

Pure Evil - Bosses who are still fully evil, but didn’t do that many fucked up things

Pretty Evil - Your average villains

Neutral/Monsters by nature - Bosses who are either fully neutral in terms of morality and/or aren’t sentient and are just of primitive nature you can’t really assign any morality to

Not that Evil - Bosses who aren’t of malicious nature and are just defending themselves from the player or have no evil intentions

Morally Good - Bosses who are pretty much the good guys in the story

Literal Saints - Bosses who are literal heroes

EDIT:

After reading some of the comments I definitely have to agree with certain points:

-I’d move Seath to Pure Evil

-Twin Princes and Gael to Morally Good

-Aldia to at least Neutral, but he’s probably near Pretty Evil

I didn’t expect for people to actually discuss this in depth, yall have some pretty good points ngl

DISCUSSION I hate the double gargoyle boss fight in ER

Upvotes

Surprised these guys were never nerfed... terrible boss design, they both are essentially the same cancer with slight variation of utter irritation. I was considering recording all of my attempts and clipping each moment of utter bs but im over it... I finally defeated them, level 70, solo no summons and it took me about 6 hours.

I get ER was made with summons in mind but christ, you'd think they'd make the bosses have more of a synergistic feel than a straight up gangbang bar fight simulation.

VIDEO CLIP Fan game whole map progress so far!

Hey everyone, heres one more video showcasing all of the map made so far. Everything is very unfinished. Id appreciate any feedback or even suggestions and ideas for enemy types, weapons, traps, new areas, or overall raw critique about what you see so far. The playermodel is not final and infact its just my Roblox avatar since this game is made on Roblox studio engine. Im planning for the game to allow players to use their own Roblox avatars but also there will be base game simple Character customisation. I want this game to be kinda like mini Dark Souls mmo, with 20 players max per server, where someone who just joined server could be at start area, while you could be far away in end game area. Everything is seamless as the whole map is in single server, so you can play with your friends and share progress all through. Im also hoping to implement invasions and some covenants. The game is made with passion and my love for Dark Souls and everyone at fromsoftware, as well as you guys, the community! It will be free and i strictly do not want to profit off this game. Ive sent inquiry to Fromsoftware about this project hoping to get permission to have this game reference Dark Souls due to copyright, but if there is no response, for the final game i might have to change lot, replace the bonfire with something else and so on. Im looking for anyone to join this project who has experience with Roblox Studio and also is interested to help! Thank you so much for reading and i love you all, may the flames guide thee and whoever is reading this, i wish you long, safe and happy life! :3

JOKE / MEME Zach Galifianakis met a Dark Souls II Fire Keeper when he was working at a Santa Monica laundromat in 1994 when she was struggling with homelessness. When he got famous, he helped get her an apartment and covered her rent for many years. They remained close friends until her passing at 96

QUESTION New player of Fromsoft, NS 2

8 Upvotes

Coming from games of the Zelda universe but seen so many playthroughs of Fromsoft games that I had to get Elden Ring when it released for the Switch 2. So far I’ve met quite a few hard hits, and the default setup of the controller setup doesn’t seem intuitive, I keep pressing the wrong buttons due to wanting X to jump etc. Is there a good mindset to begin exploring the game without feeling like everything kills you all the time? get good and all that, sure but for new ppl to the franchise; any good advice?

Before I beat the end boss, Should I do the Frenzied flame ending since I already can get the burn mark? I already beat the boss and found the door.

Suggestion needed for multiplayer/PvP: DS3 or ER?

2 Upvotes

Hey all. When ER came out I really wanted to buy it but thought it would be one of those expensive games that was too hard for me to complete. So when DS1 went on sale I bought it and tried it out. I really liked it and beat Gwyn. I'm almost done with DS2 now.

I'm not very good, but at least I'm getting most of the content I'm paying for so I'm happy.

But one of the things i'm missing out on is the multiplayer aspect. Multiplayer in this sense meaning both co-op summons and PvP. Watching some Oroboro DS1 videos on YT I realized how much I'm missing out.

I don't want to wait too long to play ER and miss it like I did with DS. Safe to wait and finish the series or should I jump on ER while it's still warm?

Ty!

DISCUSSION The club is good in every game

5 Upvotes

I’m doing a deprived run (plank shield, loincloth, and club) of dark souls 3 with my friend, and it’s reminded me that I love the club in every fromsoft game.

Not the large club, not the great club, not the reinforced club, just the good ol’ fashioned default club.

All of the others are awesome too and some are arguably better, but personally for me, my favorite is just the deprived’s club.

As someone who is partial to dexterity builds, and favors curved swords & katanas, it’s very refreshing to deal Strike damage, decent poise, and still have a fast enough weapon. The only downside is that I enjoy the feeling of slicing through enemies, but it’s been a fun change of pace.

Its been a long and hard journey getting to this point, and I like to take this time to thank all the little people I had to step on to get here. If I can do it.. so can you. It just takes a lot of heart, grit and determination

QUESTION PS4 or PS5 version of Elden Ring?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, quick question. I’m planning to buy Elden Ring, but I’m not sure which version to get.
I’m playing on a PS5, and I noticed that the PS4 version is cheaper and can apparently be upgraded to the PS5 version.

For those who have tried both, is there actually a difference between buying the PS4 version and upgrading it vs just buying the PS5 version?

Is the performance basically the same, or is it
better to just get the PS5 version?

Trying to save some money if there’s no real difference
