O&S was both the hardest and by far the most fun fight in the game imho.

I did it solo, smough first, and it took me like 10-15 tries :lol:

I think what I really liked about it is that it's one of the few fights that make you go "ohshitohshitohsshitohshit...!" constantly with the amount of pressure they put on you.

It's worth noting that this was my first (and so far only..) playthrough and I was horribly undergeared.

BTW add me on live if you want some PvP fights at SL 120

Zloth Demonsage. Been doing forest PvP for 2 days now playing as a host, good amount of invaders compared to Oolacile, haven't tried my old main place in a while which was Dark Anor Londo, made 2 mill souls in 1 good night there once.

Just got invaded by some guy in Anor Londo.. He drops a titanite slab for me  :shock:

Then we proceed to have a good albeit laggy fight, and I send him a thnx message on wlive. He was from Brazil  8-)

a guy once invaded me in the Forest and dropped a Soul of Manus. I didn't have the DLC that time and was like wtf is this.
Later thanks to Google i found out that Manus is one of the new Bosses.
That was amazing.  :lol:

Ofcourse one of the best games ever is inspired by one of the best mangas ever :) i wanna re-read the manga now... for a third time..

Not even half these points are specific.

That was pretty cool.. I'm glad they drew inspiration from Berserk and not some other anime atleast  :mrgreen:

wielding a big ass zweihander, slaying demons.. what other reference would it be :D

about the monsters, Berserk has such a crazy high amount of different looking monsters, it's probably hard to find a monster that doesn't look like one of the Berserk's monsters

still, pretty impressive

Isn't the manga still on going? Or the site I was reading it from a few years ago didn't have all of them maybe.
And how!

manga is still on going, I'm not sure if the new chapter is out though, haven't checked in a while

Anyway, killed the buttbuddies Ornstein&Smough. No tricks, no summon, full melee. Quite a few tries before I managed to do it. Man, my hands were shaking after that fight for a couple of minutes, so intense. First part seemed harder than the second (killed Smough last), although that electric butt smash that Smough did scared the crap out of me every time.

Manga is ongoing but that bastard took a break to make a mini series (think its 6 chapters). So no new chapters for almost a year in berserk, but i think it was april 11 that the next chapter is released.

Ornstein and Smough took me about a dozen tries to kill solo my first time. That was one spot where I took a couple weeks break and four kings was the other spot where I stopped played for a bit the first time around. The most annoying boss for me was still the Bed of Chaos though and on my second run through Kalameet was a pain the ass to try and take his tail with an ultra greatsword.

I picked the game up again yesterday after a few months on a level 52, balder side sword user and I spent a good half hour just trying to figure out where I had left off in the first place. I went all the way to blightown to talk to the Onion knight to assure he would be in Izalith and then said "fuck it" when I was about to go through the great hollow.
And how!

I kinda did the same, my first playthrough was on PS3 and I stopped at the mushroom gym bros and got there on PC first time, always awesome to "discover" a new area after a couple of hundred hours.

Stuck around as human in the forest today, got invaded lots by forest hunters! Twice I won 2on1's as well, I needed some souls to upgrade my armor.. So I thought why not farm the forest hunters  :mrgreen:
