I landed in firelink and spent 40 minutes fighting skeletons in the graveyard wondering if every enemy in the game was going to have that much health. 😅

Imagine getting to Blight Town using the master key. Then imagine accidentally climbing into the Great Hollow and going all the way down to the Dragon as a way to escape the poison swamp. Then imagine jogging all the way back up because you never figured out how to sprint . . . definitely couldn't be me

Worst mistake is accidentally attacking and maybe even killing Andre.

#1 biggest mistake? Attacking all 3 NPCs that sell Purging Stones before buying any.

You missed probably the worst thing about using the Master Key on a first playthrough, never getting the Large Ember, and being stuck with a +5 weapon.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saHDmG4GhOs&t=476">7:56</a> I'll never forget the moment I realized I had turned a corner from "average" Souls player to "good" Souls player, when I found myself not struggling to overcome Seath as a challenge, but chasing him around his arena with no worries about actually dying to him. Just shouting "sit still and give me your tail you scaleless bastard!"

I took the master key on 1st play through but never used it to skip anything, the difficulty kept my curiosity in check

There are no mistakes in a game, just anecdotes. painful uninstall inducing anecdotes.

Worst mistake many people do is not giving enough respect to the game. Like reading messages (especially in tutorial area) and item descriptions. This leads them to path of not knowing basic game mechanics, thus frustration and hitting the wall somewhere.<br>Everything else could be redeemed and repaired, but going in with mentality "I will finish this in day or two" is unforgivable.

The worst thing about Tomb is that if you go there first in OG Dark Souls, there is no Vamos bonfire! You have to make it to the OTHER Patches bonfire!

Worst mistake I see a lot of people make is buying into the "git good" and "hard game" reputation that they keep slamming themselves into the tanky skeleton wall instead of going around and looking for the other way, the game is a lot easier while still challenging if you know that you aren't supposed to be there yet
