It was sooo incredibly satisfying.Recently, a hack has spread through the Dark Souls III community. I screamed so loud I might've woken up the neighbours. I was trying to get a backstab on her for ages, chipping her health down as I kept at it, and I finally got one when she was at 1% health, killing her. I still remember the first time I defeated Blackflame Friede. You should just make sure you're completely unable or unwilling to defeat the boss solo before you're summoning help tho. Different players find different things fun. I had already pushed through the bosses and learned all the movesets and timings, so every new playthrough was practice, not a challenge.īut you can summon for sure if your intention isn't to learn the fight and just get through it.

The result of that is that with consecutive NGs, the game got easier instead of harder lol. This has happened to me, I've never summoned help for a boss fight, ever. In fact, if you don't summon phantoms to help with boss fights on your first playthrough, you'll actually not need to ever again, because you'd have learned the boss fight from the bottom up.

In fact, I run through an area with a Dried Finger activated so I could actually get frequent PvP because this game's PvP is dead in most areas of the game.Įxactly. I've mastered PvE so I personally don't care anymore, and I'm good enough at PvP to fight off most invaders anyways. Newbies don't know about hackers or anticheat mods. I know some people who've rage quit the game because of dying to meta duel invaders and losing a lot of progress in the area they were in. Invaders can very much ruin a player's experience, if that player is new. There are other advantages to offline mode in your first playthrough, like not being invaded. But there's no repeat first playthrough, so you should make it count. Chaotic PvP, fight clubs and all that can be fought anytime, even nowadays you'll find many of those.

That "satisfaction" you lost? You'll be able to get it again, in part, but you'll never get to know in full how it feels to beat the game, in your first playthrough, on your own. And your first playthrough only comes once. Of course, if you don't care about the experience, you could do what you want, but Soulsborne games are mainly about the experience. Playing with phantoms on your first playthrough is just straight up heresy imo. Going back to Bloodborne after years and playing offline felt great because it gave me a chance to fully map everything out in my head and explore all possible pathways without any assistance.īUT of course playin Elden Ring in offline mode off the bat means I will miss out on the chaotic PvP battles and hilarious bloodstains. Trying to find shortcuts, illusory walls, hidden items, hidden characters, being caught off guard by hidden enemies and so on.Įach time I play a souls game I naturally have played online, but I feel it negatively impacted my playthrough in some ways because I never really had the satisfaction of finding something myself, I'd always be led by messages on the ground or a bloodstain will reveal there's a hidden enemy up ahead. When Elden Ring comes out, I'm leaning towards playing offline mode so I can discover everything for myself. I asked this a while back on the Elden Ring subreddit and want to get everyone's opinion here on the topic :)
