Protips for anyone looking to play Dark Souls:
Do NOT pick the Master Key as your gift if this is your first playthrough
Circle strafing is good, especially when backstabbing
Locking on is also good, but you should know when to toggle it on and off
Run, don't spam roll
If you're not going to Poise tank then go light for maximum mobility
Spells are kind of OP, there is no Magic meter in this game but you have limited uses
There is no reason to use Humanity to go human form unless you want to summon or PvP
Use it to Kindle bonfires for more healing instead
RES is an actual garbage stat, do not level it
It's a pseudo open world, if you're stuck in one area leave and try a different path
"PREPARE TO DIE" is a marketing meme, the game is actually quite fair once you learn the ropes
Always be sure to exhaust all NPC dialogue before proceeding
There is no way to reroll your character in DS1, so think of a character concept you want to play based on the starting classes and commit to it
