Man I fucking destroyed the game last night. Went up 12 levels, got me another shard and bone dust for mah flask, beat the everloving piss out of Old Dragonslayer, Lost Sinner, Belfry Gargoyles, the Old Iron King and Royal Rat Vanguard, trekked through Shaded Woods only to get raped by archers at Drangleic Castle (also, fucking Flexile Sentry is a STANDARD ENEMY now?!), got the piss beaten out of me in that foggy fucking Shaded Woods area by those sniping cunts, got obliterated in the Belfry Sol by those little cunt Bellkeepers, got cheesed the FUCK out by the mothercunting fucklicking twatnobbing Smelter Demon (fuck you, you cheap shit) and decided that boss souls are delicious. Screw boss weapons, I'll get them on NG+.
Fuck me, this game is rewarding.
