Discuss best Souls game and where to farm chunks of Fainstone

How about finding Pure Bladestone? God fucking damnit, From, why?

Posting best boss. I loved invading people with the Monk's Hood, it turns it from a fight into a comedy

I found that to be really boring. Half the time the guy dies before making it to the bosses room after you sat there for 20 minutes waiting. The few times they actually made it to the boss it was a lot of fun but too much waiting. Should summon a person when they're closer to the room imo.

What the fuck were they thinking?
I gave up and duped the faintstone.

They never tried this in another game, did they?

Cool concept, but I don't think I've ever fought somebody that put up a strong fight, you'll get tougher invasions in 1-4.

They sort of tried something similar with the Looking-glass Knight in DaS2. So no, they never tried it again successfully.

While fighting the Glass Knight dude in Dark Souls 2, he would slam his magic mirror on the ground and an enemy player could come out.

Overall a bad idea though. It's either the boss gets impossibly hard, a new nuisance pops up, or the boss dies before they can use it.

Dark Souls tells you almost nothing at the start of each game, and even then is mostly vague with its lore even to the very end, meaning that you play without context for much of your first playthrough.

Demon's Souls has a simpler story, but it gives you all the context your actions need and its lore is mostly to add even more flavour to its places.

I feel a lot more fond of how Demon's Souls did it; I felt like I had no business knowing as little of the setting as I did in Dark.

I felt like in DS3 they tried to do the same thing and even went so far as to explain shit from DS1 (like Gwyn's son). I thought they did a decent job, but personally felt underwhelmed by the ending.

Imagine if the second form of a DS3 DLC boss is another player possessing the corpse of the boss you just killed.
But what are the chances of that happening?
