dragon tooth but not leveled enough for it
and level 47,
Is there a real strat or weapon that can make this fight easier ?? I have best elden ring , sekiro , bloodborne, lies of p like a lot of souls like experience but i am sooo stuck on this fight and i struggle with the enemies in the area.
Plz help i really don’t know what im doing lol i may have got to Lando too fast idk

So the other day I started playing Elden Ring again, I stopped about a year ago because I couldn’t beat this one boss, the Red Wolf. So I got an addiction to these type of games, and that made me finally buy Dark Souls and play it for the very first time. I’m probably 9 hours in and I’ve only just lit the Bonfire where Andre is. I’ve died more times than I’ve killed enemies, and I’m playing as a knight (not sure if different classes are different strength) and I’m playing on the switch 2.

I need advice on how to get better at the game because I genuinely am enjoying the gameplay but I should be done with the game by most people’s time.

Not sure what advice you could give me but please share any that would help! Thanks!

I got back into ds1 after trying it a few months back and giving up, and I’m glad I got back into it, because I’ve been making much more progress, have a much better build, and have been having much more fun. That is until for some reason I booted up the game today on steam and my controller wasn’t working. My controller is still working for steam and other games, it worked just fine for moonlighter, but not for Dark Souls, and I really don’t want to have to play the rest of the game on mouse and keyboard although I will if I must. Does anyone know what I might be able to do? 😭

EDIT: just to clarify this is the dark souls remastered version on steam

Hey everyone!
I’ve been playing Dark Souls and wanted to offer a hand to anyone who’s new to the game, stuck on a boss, or just having a rough time getting through an area.
If you’re struggling with a boss, need help getting through an area, want to farm some souls, or just need someone to jump in and help you out, feel free to reach out.
I’m on Xbox and my gamertag is:

No judgment if you’re new or struggling. We were all there at some point. Dark Souls can be brutal, but it’s a lot more fun when you’ve got someone willing to help you through it.
Feel free to add me or message me here on Reddit. 🤘

This game is fucking incredible. I just blitzed through Sen's Fortress (the snake enemies are an ultra free challenge to parry lol) and just got to the bonfire at the top. It's been so long since I've had a game that I'm so excited to play all the time. All I think about at work is "I can't wait to go home and play Dark Souls and overcome the next big challenge". I've never played a FS game before or any soulslike for that matter and I am throughly enjoying my experience. Thank you so much to all you on here for supporting this game and keeping it relevant as I would not be having this incredible experience without all of you! PRAISE THE SUN \[T]/

So, I was just scrolling YouTube and I realized that all the other Gods in Lordran are normalish size; they're about the size of humans, yet Gwynevere is larger than life to appeal to our view of what a god is, combined to with the statues of her, and the Sentinels around Anor Londo and on a first visit to the city (assuming it wasn't spoiled for you) it tricks you into assuming that this is the real Gwynevere, just thought that was cool.

(Realize that this is probably something everyone caught on to and that this is a nothing burger of a post)

People laugh when I say Dung Pie is OP, but they clearly haven't reached enlightenment. This absolute unit of a consumable inflicts Toxic, and Toxic doesn't care about your armor, your poise, or how many points you dumped into Vigor. You throw one Dung Pie and suddenly your opponent is on a timer.

"But bro, you have to farm them."
AND?

The greatest warriors of Lordran don't fear Gwyn. They don't fear Manus. They fear a guy standing 30 feet away repeatedly throwing feces with perfect spacing.

Dung Pie isn't just a consumable. It's a mindset. It's psychological warfare. It's ranged pressure. It's status buildup. It's disrespect in item form.

Dung Pie lets you overcome all odds by throwing literal feces at the problem until it goes away.

So, yeah, I killed Havel but he died in bad spot and I died too without taking his ring, now there is no Havel and no ring, what am I supposed to do now? IS THERE ANY WAY TO RETURN IT?

Hi, so i love using daggers in dark souls but recently wanted to try a daggers only build i was just wondering other than the bandit knife what should i use? Especially as i think Four kings will be a nightmare thanks everyone!

It has a good strength. If you get the master key, you can grab the great club the ring a favor and the Havel ring and Booya you got one of the most powerful build in the game
