After releasing the first Dark Souls 1 FPS Unlock mod (for Remastered and Prepare to Die Edition) that completely fixes all physics bugs at high FPS, I'm releasing a brand new mod today: the Prepare to Co-op Edition.

This mod brings the features of Seamless co-op for Remastered to the original game (up to 4 total players)

If you only have or prefer Remastered, I recommend my FPS Unlock mod which also goes great with Seamless Co-op by Yui - FPS Unlock for Remastered/PTDE

But, if you're a big fan of the original game, you may have felt sad that there was no co-op mod for the original game. I did too, which is why I created the Prepare to Co-op Edition. Download the Prepare to Co-op Edition here!

My mods are all open source on my GitHub

Contributions or issues are welcomed.

Thank you and enjoy the mod!

I jumped in the game again, the first time was a few years back, I liked what I saw, but hit a wall due to a lack of skill and decided to move on to another game and come back... but never did. Well... that day is here now, I've rung 2 bells and am chugging along, I did ask some help here jumping into other threads but eventually decided to just go in blind and build blind. It's been awesome, and I can see I missed out. I'm playing Switch Remastered version but after this I might jump into Elden Ring or DS2 on steam. Either way... I can't stop thinking about the damn game even at work.

After murdering countless black knights, I finally managed to get a black knight sword. It's even at the start of the game.

And in a game when I have a strength build.

Its not much, but its a setting, its there.

I wanna play with lightning spears but I see the sunlight spear requires ng+.

So I figured I could speedrun the lordvessel then do the kiln wrong warp to rush Gwyn.

But then that means I enter NG+ at like SL10, would that be a problem ? I don't wanna get one shot by everything.

7 months ago I beat Dark Souls Remastered for the first time and I made this post:(https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls/comments/1rq61fx/i_finally_did_it_i_beat_ds_remastered_on_my_first/) TL;DR - It was my first soulslike and while the lore and world captivated me, the gameplay didn't, it was miserable for me, especially the runbacks. Since then I beat Elden Ring (no DLC) and played a decent chunk of DS3. This game popped in my head and something made me play it again, from scratch. I made a character and began my journey. This time it was totally different, it's like muscle memory kicked in, remembered patterns, shortcuts, the game felt...easier? Like I still died a lot of course but I feel like I was flowing with the game instead of struggling against the current. First time it took me 30.1 hours to beat without touching the DLC. This time I beat it in 14.4 hours and some of the DLC (beat Artorias and saved Sif, Manus and Kalameet were skipped). I get it now guys, this game is a masterpiece and I am glad I gave it another chance, I really enjoyed it (the runbacks can still go fuck themselves, Bed of Chaos too).

Hello all, I'm currently in the DLC after placing the lord vessel and getting the ability to warp. I completed the whole DLC and now lost the ability to warp out somehow. For more context I'm running a giant dad build and was invading players when it happened.

First time playing Dark Souls. My husband told me that the Claymore is very popular but he himself doesn't like it. I found it in the game yesterday and tried it out. It's a bit slower than my usual choice of weapon in one of these types of games but I do enjoy it still.

I'm considering dumping all of my titanite shards into it and focusing on getting it to max level but I want to make sure it's a viable option for endgame first. That's all.

I keep dying! In the bosses, in the runbacks, in the exploration.

I practice on enemies, yippie. I easily kill them.

until that is, I do not. and that is sad. for I died more to the rats poison than the boar, just to sneak past said pig anyway.

The gargoyles are making me headbutt walls.

but they're runbacks are apparently not even the worst ones :C I too dumb for this game.

:C

Edit:

Did i mess up big time?

I've had this theory ever since I first played Dark Souls 2, and I'm curious if anyone else has ever made the same connection. As we all know, Patches is noticeably absent from DS2, despite appearing throughout the Souls series. One of his most recognizable traits is his hatred of clerics and his tendency to trick people into falling off cliffs or down into pits. Now, think about the beginning of Dark Souls 2. Almost immediately upon reaching Majula, you can find a corpse on a ledge below a cliff carrying a Morning Star and a Cleric's Sacred Chime, both associated with clerics. The moment I discovered those items on my first playthrough, my mind immediately went to Patches.

I think this could be FromSoftware's subtle way of referencing him. A dead cleric at the bottom of a cliff, in the one Dark Souls game where Patches is missing, feels like a pretty specific coincidence. I'm not suggesting Patches canonically visited Drangleic, but I wouldn't be surprised if the developers deliberately placed those items there as a little nod to him. I've searched around and haven't found anyone discussing this exact connection. Has anyone else ever thought about this?

Ts took me way too long, all done with graphite pencils, blending stumps, an eraser, and a kneading eraser (my favourite).

I am doing a replay of all the FromSoft RPGs, starting with Demons Souls Remake and now on DS 1 remastered and decided to try the claymore. In the over a decade that I have loved this game, I always saw people love this weapon and honestly I just shrugged my shoulders because I didn't see why it would be so popular, but now that I actually am using it and this thing rips, the speed, feeling and moveset are all perfect and this might be my new favorite weapon in this game. So I understand you guys now, you were so right.

I purchased the game on Xbox 360 in late 2012 on deep discount. I probably played it for about an hour before I gave up. I attacked the guy sitting by Firelink that you first talk to but I was too underpowered to beat him. He’d just kill me and I’d spawn back just to have him chase me around the map until he caught and killed me.

Fuck that game.

A few weeks ago my 15yo son expressed interest in the game. He played that same copy of DS on our Series X using back compat. I watched him play and became interested in my own run, so I bought the game on sale, DS Remasters on PS5. I looked up a few build guides and tips before playing and then embarked on the journey.

I ended up doing a build centered around Zweihander two handed along with Giants Armor, both eventually fully maxed out. I would say the first 20 hours of the game were pretty challenging and I died quite often, but when I finally got to Anor Londo I probably just farmed that area before fighting O&S for like 5-6 hours. I fucked up and I over leveled my character and the rest of the game was easy. One shooting most enemies, strong enough to stand and trade with bosses.

I’m glad I beat the game, but I wish I didn’t focus on leveling up my character to the point that it stopped being tough.

Great game 10/10 tho and I’m glad I gave it another shot. On to Demon’s Souls next lol.

Can someone send me a couple of wallpapers of her?

​

That intro made no sense, what is my character doing here? What's their motivation? I don't understand the objective.

Started out as a thief, but the drake sword and now the zweihander i found in the graveyard seem to be a MUCH better time than little back-stabby knives. (Are stabby classes even viable in this game against some of these huge enemies?) Should I restart with a different class? (Also, how much endurance is enough for big oversized two-handers?)

Rang the first bell but there seem to be too many places to go now. Getting torn up by ghosts in New Londo, where tf do I go? (Seriously, F these ghosts!)

Level 30, reversed hollowing to kindle a bonfire then some guy invaded and destroyed me with almost seemed like a...whip? (I was a strike away from killing them but endurance was too low to finish them fast enough before yhey took a drink) What's the use of playing online or reversing hollowing besides kindling?

I die way too often for it to seem worth it to use what little humanity I find for anything other than kindling a flame. What's this stuff good for other than that?Why can't I invade games? Why can't I get people to join mine? I can only help other players if I use humanity, but I don't get credit in my world for killing the boss.😕 Just... more humanity... The wait to join a game doesn't seem worth it.

Edit: Thanks to those leaving helpful comments and not just snarky ones.

Also, to those downvoting helpful comments. Is your soul made of excrement?

I came across him earlier and my weapons weren’t doing a whole lot of damage so I’m wondering if I should start farming for him if he is my second boss?

I recently bought Dark Souls 1, it's my first souls game. I've heard this is such a great game series and so far I do agree that it is fun! I want to keep playing

However I do not enjoy feeling like I'm not getting anywhere

I'm literally in the first section of the game and I've spent hours now just getting my ass kicked.

I understand that it's the point of the game and get better. I know all that

I just want to vent frustration cause this is genuinely a kick in the nuts. Was it this tough for all of you?

Mi conclusión después de esta aventura; Con Dark Souls 1 pasé los mejores y más bellos momentos, para mi es el mejor de los tres, buenos jefe de DLC, mapa conectado a la perfección, jefes con personalidad, dificultad, literal el ds3 los últimos dos jefes me demoré 1hr en cada uno, tuve uno que otro jefe molestoso que me tomó un día, pero nada como Manus, Artorias o Khalameet, literal Manus me tomó semanas en NG+, y para que hablar de ds2, me gustó bastante, pero por ser un souls de Fromsoftware, la dificultad es muy baja. En fin, gracias por leer y me gustaría saber cuál fue su Dark Souls favorito si jugaron otro además del 1, y por qué.

I'm always hearing so many mixed opinions on these games, but I wanna ask this question for each game (in their respective communities): What exactly about this game makes it your personal favorite of the three? Whether that be because of the world/levels, NPCs, gameplay, lore, atmosphere, or even just your personal story with the game, explain what makes this game so special to you.

My first souls game was the og Dark Souls. I recently picked up Elden Ring and have spent around 20 hours in Limgrave and I gotta say that the magic that I felt with dark souls is completely missing and I don’t know why. I want to like this game and am just hoping with time it will click. Did any of you feel the same?
