Started last night what I think 2-1 is (diggers?). The enemies in there, although very slow, take at least 4-5 heavy hits with my current strongest weapon (scimitar). Needless to say, I'm only inching along and being cautious... Start to think, am I still underpowered for this level?? And then, I get invaded.. I start to b-line it back to the beginning area and come across him.. I immediately start throwing all my fire magic on him as he keeps running away... Each hit taking nothing off his hp.. After depleting my mp I start to wail on him.. staying on top of him while he runs around without a weapon drawn... All my hits barely taking down his hp. Wtf.. He finally pulls out some giant ass sword and fights back. I dodge several of them, but the few he lands, completely destroyed me in like 3 hits...
Either he was trolling TF out of me, or I actually caught him off guard... Regardless, he was entirely way too powerful for me... First time I died (besides the intro).
. Do they not pseudo match player levels to have invade you? WTFFF
.... ...Is this the
real Soulsborne fuckery I'm experiencing now?
Now that my chi is fractured, I went to try the archstone across the way with the cheiftain. The valley of Defilement I think? The enemies here were much easier to take down, but the level design here is nuts! Got past the first fog gate eventually, but then started making stupid rushing mistakes and fell several times.. had to call it a night there. This game is brutal... And beautifully awesome.
