Dark Souls - Your top 5 personal achievements / moments
Posted on 2/16/15 at 3:08 pm
Posted on 2/16/15 at 3:08 pm
List your own personal top 5 moments / achievements in dark souls 1 (not 2). Ranked by how awesome you felt after you finally took down that a-hole and cleared his zone. Feel free to include newgame+ iterations, as 4Kings on Ng+ is QUITE tougher than 4Kings on first playthrough and an accomplish in its own right, for instance.
Honorable mention
-Iron Golem atop sen's fortress (mainly due to the fortress itself)
-Sif
-Bed of Chaos
5. Gwyn, Lord of Cinder
Starting off my list is the "final boss". He was pretty underwhelming. I didnt even parry, just used terrain. But in DS Lore he is really weakened anyways so it makes sense he wasn't that tough. But since he is the final boss and wasnt exactly easy, he makes my top5
4. Manus, Father of the Abyss
My First DLC entry. This guy here was tough as frick and it didnt help that you had to clear a pitch black underworld to get to him. Really a great fight but only comes in at 4 because it didnt take me that many tries to kill him (~7 or 8). Thanks baby Sif!
3. Dragonslayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough
Everyone remembers this fight and it would be #1 if not for the incredible DLC. I read a lot of lore regarding these two and they are quite fascinating. Fighting 1 by himself would be challenging enough, but both at once made for quite a battle. Everyone remembers the first time they conquered this notorious duo. I defeated them in 1 try though on Ng+ because i knew how to fight them and was geared correctly.
2. Knight Artorius, the Abysswalker
This guy was just crazy difficult to me, but completely fair and balanced. His lore is amazing. The arena you battle him in is great. He wields a 2 handed greatsword with his off hand. I died many many times trying to duel him and felt really releived to move on. Definitely let out an audible cheer when i won.
1. Black Dragon Kalameet
Holy frick, this dragon here. It took me a few days to beat him. The toughest boss in the game imo and he comes after you beat all the other tough bosses. You think are are badass and have a great character and can beat anyone.. nope.. black dragon kalameet says frick you and reminds you that you are nothing. Takes precise execution and precision for at least 20 minutes and one mistimed dodge will ruin your attempt.

i had such a stupid build my first time through and it really fricked me up. so much easier on the subsequent trips once I knew what was going on. I dumped everything into strength and used the dragon's tooth with a tank build.
every build after, i could go without a shield if i wanted. roll roll roll
I never beat Manus or Kalameet because the file that I tried to play them on was on NG++++. Something else came out and I just said frick it
Great test achievement was Ornstein and Smough. Took me about 2 weeks of on and off playing before I finally beat them. smashed a controller too.
4 Kings on NG+ and above are insanely hard
Artorias gave me a lot of grief as well. Top 3 for me, i suppose

1.) Grinding my character early to the point the game became super easy.
2.) Became so easy I quit because the challenge wasn't there anymore.
3.) the butthurt everyone gets because of it.

I think your list is spot on. I honestly stomped the frick out of a controller on 4 Kings in NG+.

I really hated Capra Demon there at the beginning. He fricked me up to where I had to put the game down for a while. I couldn't deal with his double sword slam as soon as I walked through the goddamn fog gate. And those stupid dogs. So when I finally did kill his arse, with sweaty palms, that was the moment when I got totally hooked on the game. I don't think I've ever died to another capra demon since that time. But I still respect him as an enemy. Because of that experience.
EDIT: Yeah, Kalameet.... I still have never solo'd him. Every time I try, I just end up summoning people. He's so difficult.

I still have yet to play the DLC I downloaded 2 years ago so I get to experience the rage for the first time. Be jealous
On the base game alone I'll say
5. Rooftop Gargoyles. Yea, they're easy now but I attempted them too early on my first play through and almost wanted to quit
4. Sif. Timing and placement is everything
3. The Asylum Demon (under the floor). HATED THAT JERK
2. Gwyn (only reason he's not #1 is b/c I was able to beat him easily once I got the timing down
1. O&S - Thanks Corndog Cologne

I'll make this a Souls list, as opposed to just DaS.
•Did a sl1 of DaS (4 Kings were a fricking nightmare)
•No deaths/no bonfires in DaS2
•sl1 in DaS2 with just 50 deaths
•Beat the hardest bosses in Demon's on first or second try, without cheesing
•solo'd all bosses in DaS on first playthrough

Getting every achievement

Just surviving for more than 5 minutes sometimes felt like my biggest accomplishment in this game.
I can't speak for any of the dlc but I agree with you about the dragon being number 1, holy frick was that thing hard.
