OK, so normally Dark Souls induces rage, but last night I had an amazing encounter, and it still makes me smile to think about it.
I had a bloody rotten day yesterday, and when I came home from work, I escaped to Lordran for a bit. I was planning to just farm the Balders to get another BSS and complete my set (regular, divine, lightning, fire). I played my build that I was planning to keep below SL20, but have actually stubbornly refused to go above SL12, and have proudly gotten all the way to the giant blacksmith in Anor Londo. But last night I went back to the parish, threw my sign down, and did some mindless grinding.
My second summoning I was the second phantom, and as soon as I arrived, the host dropped something. OK, cool. Pick it up, 2 titanite slabs.
I am over the moon! What did I do to deserve this? Then another drop. I looked at the other phantom, waited, but they both pointed to it, so I picked that up, too. Lightning BSS +5. Holy crap! Am I dreaming? I assume that we must be doing PvP, which I suck at, but for 2 slabs and a lightning BSS, which I was farming for in the first place, I'll give it my best shot! But we go on a basic PvE run, and before the gargoyles, another slab drop.
We then go fight the gargoyles, and I don't think I landed a single hit. Which I was really bummed about, because I really felt like I should have done something amazing to deserve the gifts. But, long story short, after a horrid day at work, this one encounter restored my faith in humanity, and really helped in my quest to tackle the end game with my low level toon.
