You, in fact, did NOT beat the game
i did and ill do it again when they drop the remake
should be BKH
>>739889236>noob trap weaponYou beat the game
>>739889236I never understood this. Drake sword falls off HARD by the time you reach Anor Londo. Hell, the lightning spear in Sen's is better than drake sword and a lot easier to upgrade. If anything, you made the game harder for yourself by keeping that piece of shit until the end.
I have never used the drake sword
Hey, OP here. Sorry, I posted the wrong image. This is the image I meant to post.btw I suck flaccid penises until they expand in my mouth because I enjoy the sensation.
>>739889576haha, yeah that does make the early game easy as hell
>>739889425>If anything, you made the game harder for yourselfThat's what the OP is literally saying, yes.
>>739889618No, this is the format of "You used X cheese weapon, you robbed yourself of the experience and you did not actually beat the game". It's like saying "You used the stair method on Capra Demon, you never really beat him".OP is saying the opposite. He thinks the drake sword makes the whole game easy mode lol.
I got the black knight sword right at the start iirc
Zweihänder :3
>>739889618esl
>YO BROS THIS WEAPON IS SO GOOD STRONGEST WEAPON IN THE GAME BY FAR>Meanwhile, deals maybe 1/10th the damage a basic reinforced club would do against the bosses that actually matter (i.e. the DLC bosses) and is entirely outperformed by the absolute blender that is the PGS if you wanted to use a curved sword.That goes for you too MLGS, you overrated piece of shit.
>>739889712And the OP is clearly subverting the usual format to mock the noob trap weapon.
>>739889236or you just buy a reinforced club.
>>739889785no blender compares to the gold tracer.
>>739889415>noob trapYou would never discover this weapon organically. Why are dark souls fags so disingenuous, its still worse than any of the weapons found near fire link or the undeadburg
>>739889954Gold Tracer is also amazing, yeah. I've used both, they're both really good options.Great Scythe and BSS too, Dex just ate so fucking good in DaS1.
>>739889974Any game with a bow makes me wonder if I can use it to cheese enemies, using it on the wyvern got it to come down on the bridge so I wrote it off then but i'm sure some fag tried it when traversing the lower path.
>I hadn't played Dark Souls for several years>I decided to play again after dedicating too many hours to Elden Ring>I'm doing quite well and can kill the first knight you encounter in Undea Burg with a couple of parries>I got the Black Knight sword on my first try>I used it for the rest of the game, making it very easyI didn't remember that sword being so good
>>739890337I don't believe that NO ONE would ever find it on their own. Vast majority wouldn't though so odds are if someone used it in a first play through, they looked at a guide or saw someone else do it.
>>739890772Getting pretty much any Black Knight weapon completely invalidates the rest of the game. They can consistently stagger almost every enemy in the game.
>>739889974>>739890337>>739891884I'm not going to pretend like most people didn't learn about it through osmosis, Drake Sword is very infamous, but the game introduces the concept of tail cut weapons very early with Gargoyles (and even if you miss that instance you're very likely to tail cut Gapping Dragon because it's easier to fight from the back) so as a blind player you're likely to see other tailed bosses and start trying to tail cut them as well.
>>739889974You know as well as I do that the very first thing most normies do when playing a game for the first time is look up a guide or make a reddit thread saying "Hey guys newbie here. Any tips or tricks, or mistakes I should avoid?"
>>739890337>Any game with a bow makes me wonder if I can use it to cheese enemiesYou arent going to shoot its tail 20 times you disingenuous fag>yeah I'm going to cheese it by shooting its most annoying hit zoneLmao okay
>>739889974>its still worse than any of the weapons found near fire link or the undeadburgYou are absolutely retarded.
>>739889236if you played the game the whole way through with that thing, you beat it harder than most people actually.
Does anyone else put the effort into actually killing the bridge dragon the second they get to it?
>>739893880I often ignore it and forget about it
>>739889785>Great range, quick moveset, good DEX scaling and gets stronger the better you are at the gameThis weapon is Fire though.
>>739897508>This weapon is Fire though.Yes, and that's the problem.
>>739889236I used it once after hundreds of hours and it's good for like 3 bosses at best, immediately shit right after because it doesn't scale or upgrade well.
>>739893686you're assuming OP played the game
>>739897573You're talking like Fire damage is bad or something. Besides like the two enemies you'll bother to kill down in Izalith (both of them being bosses) it performs well against pretty much everything else.
>>739897757It's dogshit in the DLC, just like MLGS. That elemental damage absorption on DLC bosses makes it fucking ass, you're better off just using a reinforced club once you beat the manticore guarding the DLC.
>>739889974You mean after finding out about tail cutting you didn't go around trying it on anything with a tail?What kind of soulless goycattle are you?I even spent some time trying to chop manus's tail off when the dlc came out
>>739889236you didn't beat the game
>>739889236I just did an un-upgraded Drake Sword run where I beat all the bosses and got all tail cut weapons.The only thing anywhere near difficult was the Four Kings and cutting Priscilla's tail. Manus is a far 2nd in terms of boss difficulty.I beat the game.
>>739889236why do people complain about this sword when you can just get the zweihander?
>20 seconds from firelink shrine>can be ascended to fire in under 10 minutes if you know what you're doing>destroys the entire game
>>739889974>You would never discover this weapon organically.Wrong. I shot down the red dragon in Demon's Souls. You bet your ass I set myself up with a thousand arrows and started shooting at the drake. It's tail was the most naturally available target. I'm far from alone in this too.Sorry you were there from the start anon.
>>739890772It's not the sword, it's you. You're significantly better at these games now than you were back then.
zwei and the BLACKED knight halberd are the true "didnt beat the game" weapons but atleast the halby needed you to be lucky
>>739889974You fucking nu-gamers are so sad. Don't you ever wonder if you can use an item on something, or try and go beyond the game's artificial constraints?But now that I think about it, I don't blame you.The games you get to play now are sanitized to hell "experiences", where a missable thing is a wasted budget. You don't get to explore and find things, you have a walkthrough ready on day -1.You didn't play dumbass illogical point n clics that had you figure shit out by mixing nose hair with duct tape to create a ladder, you don't get to experiment with your games, they don't require your thinking anymore.
>>739899131I mean you're right but it's also just a really good weapon with good scaling and a solid moveset.
>>739899451Yeah, I know it is. I guess I just didn't want you think the game is just all about the weapon you use. What the player does in it matters too.
>>739899428Unc
>>739892785You pass the drake to get to the gargs so you wouldn't know about that mechanic yet.
>>739889236You cheated not only the game, but yourself. You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing.
>>739889576Anyone that gets that deserves it.
>>739900263Fighting the drake at all is also a death sentence for the entirety of your time in the Burg, probably the intention of the Drake Sword is it's "just a dragon 1h sword" at a range when you could actually fight it but it incidentally makes an amazing earlygame weapon if you know ball
>>739890772I'm on a return playthrough and the gargs dropped their halberd and it is literally cruise control from here on out.
>>739898950>chaosOnly good for minmaxing in PVP.
>>739900304Bestoc moggs it.
