Was this part of the game supposed to be hard? Why does everybody say this is the worst part of the game? I'm playing DS on PC right now, and I breezed through Blighttown with only a few deaths. The hardest thing I experienced was the wheel elevator and falling off of it twice in a row.

No
Shitty framerate and platforming.
OMFG WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE ERECT A STATUE IN YOUR HONOR ALREADY, SEMPAI?

It was realistically kinda hard in comparison to the rest of the game, but the absolute ass framerate meant accidentally jumping off ledges, failing to avoid hits that would poison you, and running out of healing way too early. So I'm not surprised that you can get through it easily SIX FUCKING YEARS LATER with a computer 20 times more powerful than the game was designed around, and with all the meta knowledge that's slowly leaked about the game. Congratulations fuck face, you're not Takahashi-Terrible.

Now, once you've played the game enough to acquaint yourself with the area, it's not bad at all. For the first time player, I can see how it could be annoying. That being said, I ever had a problem with this area.

I think this is a "Joke" thread. You don't take the Elevator on the way in if you're not taking the back entrance.

Presumably OP is referencing a playthrough where he had the Master Key.

I was trying to get onto the elevator so I could go out the back way.

Shit thread, but people didn't like blighttown because it was hard. It was because blighttown was shit.

The area name appeared and you're at the top of the elevators. This means you came in the back way with the master key and are skipping 75% of the area.

That's not his image, I've seen it countless times before.

Consolefags played it with constant dips to ~10fps. At a solid 30, it's easily the most interesting area in the entire game.
