So, today's casualty list: Sif, Gaping Dragon, Iron Golem and... Solaire.
Apparently I missed a ton of shit in Sen's Fortress though, I guess I'll have to go back. Don't really want to, though. Ergh. This was a classic case of "die a million times until you've memorized every square inch of the fucking place." Iron Golem was pretty tough too, but somehow I eventually...
...got him to fall off the bridge. Apparently you can stagger him if you hit him enough times quickly standing between his feet. I'd died like ten times at this point, so imagine the look on my face when he suddenly fell off the same fucking tower I'd fallen off every time.
Also, add
walking down the stairs to Anor Londo for the first time
to my list of all-time favorite gaming moments.
This game is fucking amazing, seriously. I was ready to nit-pick the hell out of it because I love Demon's Souls so much, but it's just too damn good.
