Picking up right where I left off (after the dreaded Blight Town), I was instantly reminded of why I've already put 40 hours into this game. Simply put, once you get to a certain point, this game grabs hold of you and demands that you keep playing. It's evil, I tell ya!
Current location: Anor Londo.
How I got there: After ringing the bell in Blight Town, Sen's Fortress was the next place to go. Sen's Fortress wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be but that doesn't mean I didn't die a lot. There was still a lot of trial and error, falling off ledges, and different paths to follow. I won't lie and say I didn't get some help online because, well, I've been doing that the whole game. If I didn't help myself from time to time, I'm sure I'd have 90 hours on the game instead of 40.
Back to the game, going through Sen's Fortress had it's ups and downs but ultimately it's a great place. Once I made it outside towards the top of the tower, one of the coolest things in the game so far was checking out the views and seeing all of the locations I've visited, as well as seeing the battlegrounds of previous boss fights (like the roof of the church where the two gargoyles caused so much hell). Eventually, I made it to the boss of the area, and with it came my first thrown controller. This boss, an Iron Golem, wasn't even difficult. What was difficult and really annoying was the small area and the fact that I rolled off or got hit off the edge probably over 10 times. It was getting infuriating until I finally changed strategies. I stopped locking on, wielded my spear with two hands, and took the golem down in a couple of minutes. It was so easy once I made the change.
A really cool scene happens after the boss fight when you inspect a very curious glowing ring on the ground. Without getting into details, I ended up in Anor Londo and it's pretty stunning when you first see the place. It's pretty different from anything else you've seen in the game. I decided to make my way to the first Bonfire in the area. One thing I've already noticed: there are huge knights everywhere! This should be interesting...
Until my next update!
