Tracker and AMA · 3:00pm Aug 29th, 2014
*This blog is to track Max's journey through Dark Souls (for anyone who wants to tag along), as well as to act as an AMA. I will answer questions as I play.

AND WE ARE DONE!!!! :D
Have fun if this is your first time...and by fun i mean bring lube
I'm not sure if I understand this right... Maybe because I haven't played Dark Souls.
2411434 Boy I remember my first time with him. Tears, blood and my corpses everywhere.
really i killed it in one go
2411434
2411434
Took him out in one go last time.
It is so satisfying seeing them as trash mobs later on and 3-shotting them
2411511 It's funny you say that, because in one of my other profiles (currently NG+), I had to level up so much to get by O&S and 4kings that when I started from the beginning again, I was basically two-shoting everything up to Iron Golem.
Oh. You survived. HOW MANY DEATHS!?
2411524 One. I was too focused on the dogs and he butt-raped me from behind.
2411527 I hope he used lube cause the size difference would mean it would hurt like hell. Who the hell am I kidding he went dry.
2411531 i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/5378693888/h45DCB49A/
Oh i also have a question for you, do you like the books the Gary Paulsen wrote?
2411570 Hatchet being the only one I've read, it was actually pretty good.
2411575 Read that in 5th grade and i have a copy somewhere in my house somewhere.
I don't understand what's going on here I am going to start dark souls here soon and I feel like I'm going to get raped?
2411806 If it's your first time, most likely. But it's a good kind of raped.
Lube for Capra? Well then, brace your asshole for the orgy that is Four Kings.
RIP in Pepperonis, your anus 19XX - 2014
Also, Strength build, sorcerer, cleric scrub, pyromancer, Dexfag, or THE LEGEND Master race?
2411884 Strength with a smatter of faith ( \[T]/ "Praise the Sun!" )
2411888
That's a good build, kill bosses and lone enemies with Greatswords and other heavy weapons, and WoG through groups of weaker enemies.
2411892 Actually, it's an upgraded Golem's Axe (+3).
2411896
It's actually pretty much a perfect weapon if you can do the tumblebuff glitch, high enough DPS with a Sunlight Blade to kill the Kings fast enough before they can spam you with their sheer numbers.
2411905 I don't mind Four Kings. It's Nito I hate. I rarely, if ever, have a Divine Weapon on me.
2411910
Problems with Nito...? He's the easiest endgame boss.
I was once summoned by an overleveled noob back to NG when I was on NG+3 and I took Nito down in three hits.
2411913 It's not Nito himself that bugs me. It's his fucking horde of minions that swarm me. Out of the endgame bosses, Nito is the worst in my opinion, but I rarely have to try more than twice to kill him.
Hmm, I was kinda waiting for an AMA of some sorts, I'm a new reader of YHaY so I haven't had time to scroll through the lengthy comments section in case the answers are there, but I've just powered through and caught up to your current chapter.
So I love the story and its on my fav list and I am eagerly awaiting any and all new material you produce, so I ask this question (which I'm pretty sure you must have gotten before) in only the most curious of terms with nothing but respect for you I Pinkie Promise.
So since you list your name as Max, and your character in the story is also named Max, just how much of your real life self is imposed upon the fictional Max's personality in YHaY? If you'd rather not go into detail, what percentage of you the author, self-insert wise, is like fictional Max? Again, nothing but respect for you here sir, I love the story and the great effort you put into it, but this question has been with me since the first chapter.
2411920
NEVER rush him. Never ever. Wait for the small skeletons, fuck them up, Nito comes over, break him apart. The Giant Skeletons stay in place if you don't come near them.
2411922 His back story (Cello, friends, ect) come from me, but he's personality is his own, if that makes sense. Basically, he's me, but he's not doing what I would have done in his place.
One more thing, what's your gamertag? And will you play tommorow?
2411936 Kingnerd16, and probably not.
I'm sorry, but I'm seeing a distinct lack of DLC bosses, bro.
Y'all need to do Sanctuary Guardian, Knight Artorias, Manus, and Black Dragon Kalameet too.
...And for the record, Artorias is by far the funnest fight in the game. It'd be a crying shame if you missed out on that.
2412174 Don't have the DLC, so can't. Love to, but can't.
2412180 Are you playing the Steam copy of the game? If you are, then you have the DLC.
2412184 Xbox 360
2412195 That's really lame. you should really look into getting the DLC then, because the bosses in there, as well as a lot of other content like the Dark Sorceries and the carvings are all really great. Especially the carvings.
2412195 Also, are you streaming, by chance?
2412223 No, I don't stream because I don't have the means to.
I am beyond stuck on that Spider-@$$ed lady.
2412340 Quelaag's pretty simple, actually. Just stay right up in her (lower) face and 90% of her attacks will miss you entirely. Just be mindful of her lava, and when she reaches down to do her AoE explosion attack.
How did you beat the “Cheeseless” Discharge? I found him the worst of all bosses. And which did you hate the most.
2412354 The worst boss in my opinion is Snorlax and Pikachu. As for "Cheeseless", a whole lot of dodging and attacking the arms.
This is a good nickname, but my personal favorite for the pair is "Thunder & Thighs".
2412356 I never managed to doge is attacks
had to take all his attacks with my shield. Pretty sure I wouldn't have beet him if I hadn't been lucky enough to have gotten the dark night sword upon return to the asylum, and fully upgraded it.
(O&S) where pretty easy for me, though I went in with the sun knight. Seriously he made almost all the boss people said where hard easy, even Gwyn, Lord of Cinder.
