>>81809962hey I was pretty experimental my first run and I've done multiple playthroughs, I went around killing a bunch of NPCs just to discover if they left behind any important key items that opened up new routes
how are you supposed to know for example that giving 30 humanity to the "fair lady" opens up a shortcut or that it would open up a way to save solaire; I went through the whole game not knowing how covenants worked until looking up a guide
I also used the soul of gwyn as an item because the item description is just like "contains immense power", how was I supposed to know that you had to bring 25 faith to the altar and give it 10 sunlight medals (you barely get 5 per playthrough) to get the miracle thing, I thought maybe it just enables some new thing I dunno
dark souls is just full of stuff like this
