If you can remember where the baddies are and how they move you're golden. The bosses, you just spam holy water on. Of course, keeping the holy water on hand is a challenge, especially if you die and need to relocate it. It doesn't help that some baddies drop sub weapons and if you pick it up you're boned. It's gotten to the point now, that I have every holy water candle memorized, ha. |

Dark Souls seems to be slightly less difficult than it's predecessor though. I love both these games--the punishing, hostile environment is really unlike any other game out there. |

Death is as far as I've made it, and if I remember right Holy Water doesn't really work on him since he flies around. |

If you don't, it's a matter of doing it the hard way. |
