Everyone's going to make use of the infinite FP buff you get at the starting gate. All this, while your opponents harass you with whatever they're carrying, be it lighting bolts or huge hammers. I'm partial to the skeleton cage labyrinth near the end, with peppered with a minefield of perfectly camouflaged skeleton cage enemies. You'll need to avoid massive corkscrews oscillating in and out of a wall right above a cliffside, and stumble through a shack occluded with toxic gas that a Boreal Outrider Knight calls home. While Dark Souls has always had optimization issues, it runs particularly bad on PC compared to consoles. The young white branch won't save you here. DSFix: This is by far one of the most popular mods for the original Dark Souls and it is almost a necessity for running the game on PC. There's a stretch where your encumbrance is artificially increased, slowing you to a crawl while harried by a CPU-controlled phantom and an endless volley of spears tossed by that giant from across the way. It's not just a simple sprint through the vanilla level-traps and obstacles and enemies are piled up at every turn. Think of it like Road Rash, but with feet and a much more dangerous Undead Settlement than you're used to. Things get wilder in the Undead Settlement obstacle course.
