  Going left first. 😄 In every RPG, since ancient times we were trained that skeletons (and rats) are the starter enemies. Easy to beat down, not much damage and slow. Yeah! They did that intentionally! 😁

  In my first run through I managed to get stuck in Ash Lake AFTER getting cursed by the toads there. Making the run all the way back up to Firelink to buy a purging stone remains my single greatest achievement in this game.

  Never forget my roommate absolutely hating Dark Souls 1. He didn’t realize lighting bonfires was a thing and kept starting over from scratch 🤣

  Pro tip for anyone who gets stuck in Ash Lake and is cursed. Kill the clam enemies, they can drop the item that cures curse.

  A tip for new players about npcs:<br>If you can&apos;t lock onto the person, they aren&apos;t hostile. So that&apos;s a good, quick way to tell if you should kill something

  I love how when the Crestfallen Warrior, who is very much supposed to be the embodiment of the actual players emotional state after dying repeatedly, is pushed into a fight by the player he shouts &quot;I may be crestfallen, but I am not defenseless!&quot; <br><br>I think every DS player has felt that at some point, right before picking themselves back up for another go.
