Damn, man, did you even try the game? Trust me, people tend to exaggerate things. If you don't rush and take your time, the game is very doable.

Good tip for a beginner: use a bow to pick enemies one-by-one. You don't have to have the stats, just use it to aggro enemies to come after you so you don't have to deal with being outnumbered all the time.

Most of the difficulty of this game come from the bosses. But you can simply summon a player or an NPC (when available) to help you out.

Also, watch out for people telling you that playing a mage is easy mode. Granted, playing a mage is indeed easy mode, but only if you know what you're doing, since the best sorceries don't come that early.

One of the classes literally starts with a bow.

Yep, the hunter.

Sorcery is especially easy mode in the beginning. Soul arrow and heavy soul arrow are ridiculously good early on. I don't know if it gets more balanced after a while, but sorcery is broken at the beginning.

It's definitely broken through the whole game, since first of all casting spell does not consume stamina at all... that alone is pretty busted already, but the more you progress, the more you find spells capable of oneshotting stuff and dealing absurd amounts of damage to bosses (crystal soul spear, homing crystal soulmass, dark bead). Sure the casts are very limited on those, but they're more than enough to literally explode anything that gets in your way

The only place it sucks is duke's, if you don't get the dlc spells before going. Everything there has stupid high magic resist, but it still isn't hard.

The easiest mode I can think of is watching someone else play it.

Yo man, wanna watch me playing it? It will be so easy for you that you can even get drunk in Jim Bean while you are at it.

You must be joking, my friend. Each and every game, we have nowadays, is a casual trash where you only have to press X to win. Let us enjoy the last scraps of oldschool left in this pathetic casual game world.

Yeah this game has an easy mode it's called sorcery.

Not just sorcery but a tanky mage build (a battlemage, but I use that term loosely here). Use Havel's armor eventually to make sorcerers cry and either the crest shield or havel's shield to be able to block a lot of magic. Then slap on the wolf ring and the bellowing dragoncrest ring. You will basically be a tank that can fire nukes when you have enough INT. The thing is though I doubt OP would have any idea where to begin. They need to learn how to play the game normally and then they can mess around with builds. Just play as a heavy armor knight build. Just level strength, vitality and endurance. That's everything you need *hint hint*.

It can help a lot to read character creation FAQs and strategy guides. It is the kind of game where most of the reward for learning how to survive and conquor the game is surviving and conquoring. In other words, dying a lot and not being good is a core game mechanic. I ought to know, I'm great at both of those things. :)

Once you git gud, all the joy is gone from the game, and the only think left in life is spamming "git gud" related comments in the forums. Pity the git gud trolls. Unlike them, you can still get pleasure out of DS.

This game doesn't have a story though, just a clumped mess of cutscenes that hints at a story.

It does have lore, though that's sepparate from story. Even the lore is kind of lazy tbh (no, hiding everything in item descriptions isn't genius, it's lazy).

It does have a story. It gets explained by Oscar.

As others already mentioned, I too think the series difficulty gets way blown out of proportion. Yes, you can say it´s more "hardcore" than the majority of mainstream games. But it always sounds to me as if the series difficulty was on par with Caves Bullet Hell Shooters (2nd loops) or something ultra like that; like the Soulsborne-series is the end-of-the line in terms of difficulty.........when in fact it´s not even close.

I´m pretty sure that almost everyone could complete the series; it just needs a little bit more dedication than the majority of the other games out there. Realising that death is not necessarily a failure, but a way to learn.

Of course if you expect to rush through the game, maybe with 2 or 3 deaths, then you will have a bad time.
