I'll grant you those guys. While they CAN be beaten with judicious use of drop attacks, it's a pain in the ass so I made an exception for them and used the Black Knight Sword. I don't even know if it's possible to win against the Four Kings with punch only.

The normal giant guards are easily punchable, though, if you fight them one at a time. And lightning cestus or chaos cestus do a respectable amount of damage when you consider their speed. Also, nothing's more satisfying than punching Super Ornstein to death.

Giant guards, normal AND royal, are actually some of the easiest enemies you'll face. Slow, relatively low damage, and easily dodge-able.

Though if you get both the royal ones after you, they sometimes tag-team for one to distract you while the other heals.

Just realized that I never actually beat Dark Souls. I should probably do that, my friend's pretty excited for DS2.

At which part? Inside the hall or the ones guarding the gateway?

The only royal ones (the ones with the cloth over their armor, who can use miracles) in the whole game are in the hall, right before the O&S. However, this seems to apply to all the giants and most bosses:

weak to the strategy of burying your face in their arse, slashing at their back leg and rolling away whenever they start winding up their stomp attack for the requisite eleven and a half minutes.

I wish someone would have told me Quelagg and Ceaseless Discharge were total jokes.
I would have gotten them done so much earlier than last night.
Also, I've heard horror stories about Sen's Fortress, but I fail to see the problem. Is it just because it's impossible to figure out where you're going?

[Baneling]

Primarily because Sen's Fortress is full of corridors and falling and big enemies to accidentally walk against and fall off a narrow bridge or get hit by a swinging axe and fall off a narrow bridge or get hit by a lightning bolt and fall off a narrow bridge or fall off a narrow bridge, survive and get killed by titanite demons or get hit by a boulder and fall off a narrow bridge get crushed...

[nenjin]

It's just irritating. Lots of mistakes will force you to start the whole thing over. Fucking mage snakes throwing lightning at you while you can't really avoid it, the aforementioned scythes, the fact some of the loot is at the bottom of the fortress, full of snakemen, slowing ooze and the Titanite Demon.

If you're not interested in any of the loot in the Fortress, it's not so bad to get through.

OMG I'm at Sen's Fortress still.  I made it to the top and got smited by those damn [bad-guys] because I panicked and ran the wrong way.  That was 18 months ago.  The experience was so soul crushing I couldn't bring myself to try again until now.  Now... I have lost all my feel for the game and can't kill anything and I've lost all the mental maps.  I need to man up in a big way to get this finished before #2 comes.  *sigh*

[Baneling]

If you're American, you have until tomorrow. If you get it on a console.

If you get it on PC, like a sensible person, you have until next month!

Dark Souls on PC is a TERRIBLE port.  Dark Souls on PS3 plays like a dream in comparison.  And there's a lot more people online for more ‼FUN‼

[Baneling]

...Are you from the future?

I was referring to the fact that hermes said that he needs "to man up in a big way to get this finished before #2 comes."

Hence, "you have until tomorrow[when it comes out]."

[Girlinhat]

And then you said that sensible people are on PC.  Dark Souls on PC is pretty terrible.

It's not as bad as people make it out to be, actually. If you use a joystick and DSFix, the game runs perfectly. I have 250+ hours on Steam and never had a problem besides some GFWL stuff that wasn't that hard to fix(god, I hate that thing).
