Rage Souls [Done] Still Stupid.

So before I start this let me clarify one thing: first of all, I know this is a dumb thread, but I was really bored. Second of all, dark souls is probably my favorite game of all time. And although I may say that there are a few mistakes in the game or it feel unfinished, or I feel something was just a bad development decision doesn't mean I dislike Dark Souls. So don't rage at me if I want it to be harder.

With that said: After a few playthroughs on Dark Souls I don't find nearly as much of a challenge. So I started considering ways that would have made it more difficult that didn't inherently alter the game. As such I considering these as interesting additions to the game for once it got into NG+ or NG++, because NG+ may seem difficult if your main strategy is tanking. But if you are used to dodging and parrying then NG+ doesn't add much more of a challenge. So I considered that they should have actively added more enemies or altered HP or damage in a meaningful way.

Basically, I wanted to think of ways to make Dark Souls make me rage again.

So this is a stage by stage break down of how I think the areas should have been altered. So they would be harder and stuff. . . Y'KNOW!

NOTES:
When I say Dark I mean ToTG dark.
I would consider removing backstabs for many enemies as well, like barbarians and silver knights.
I use strange names for many of the enemies, because I forgot the real names, but whatever you know what I mean. Sometimes I change the name I use for specific enemies too, but whatever.
With all the dark areas I suggest I would also think it cool with sunlight maggot was nerfed, cast light castings had a much shorter duration, and skull lanterns actively used durability.
And I suppose it would also be interesting if you didn’t start NG+ with all your items and rings.
And lastly, I know this is a dumb thread, I just have too much spare time (no I don’t, I’m procrastinating), maybe I’ll get to try out something like this when PC comes out and modding becomes viable.

NG+++: Add four toxic rats and two more rats.

Random Hallways that I won't go through one at a time
I don't know the random hallways in the depths well enough to gauge what should be where, so I would probably just double the rats and add toxic things, because I double all the rats.

Channeler
NG++: Make the channeler respawn. Add two normal rats.
NG+++: Add a toxic rat, a large rat, and three more rats.

Big Rat
NG++: Add ten normal rats who don't leave the room with the big rat.

Basilisk drop down
Basilisks hop around so much that I'm not really familiar with where they spawn or where I would put more. Most likely doubling the basilisk and adding sludges would make it difficult enough.

Kirk Fight
I dunno, make him immune to backstabs, or just a better player.

Final group of rats
NG++: Add two more large rats.
NG+++: Add five rats.

Gaping Dragon Boss Fight
This isn't really possible to make any harder. Slowest boss in the game with all attacks that make it immobile and easily dodged. With the channeler respawning it would be likely he would be there during the boss fight. Still not really a challenge. Adding more enemies to the room really wouldn't fit the boss fight. I simply am lost on this.

Blighttown

Honestly, I don't know blighttown very well, I doubt anyone does. It's one of the more complicated areas, and one hardly anyone sticks around in, it's abysmal. This probably won't be as in depth or well done.

Make the entire area dark where it isn’t lit.
Make Toxic Dart Blowers Respawn, and make their toxin even more deadly, with base damage in hits.

Now I’ll do my best from there.

First Walkway from depths
NG++: Add a toxic dart blower at the end of the platform, with a line of sight down the entire walkway. Add two more ghouls.
NG+++: Add a ghoul.

Twin Bridges To Platform

NG+++: Add a poison blower at the end of the ledge where the three blooming moss clumps are on the beam.

NG+++:Add two boulder barbarians that have line of site of the next lower walkway in the hollowed battlement going downwards.

Tunnels to behind power within parasite wall clinger
NG++: Add three ghouls who aggro after the barbarian once through the tunnel.
NG+++: Add a barbarian with the three ghouls added.

The Swamp
So the swamp is rather a curious beast, being that there are no normal enemies common to it other than those chaos spider things, that regardless are not very hard. It would be my thought that if made more difficult merely the respawning mosquito swarm would respawn faster, and in more numerous numbers. Along with this leeches could be placed more generously about the swamp. This coupled with the swamp being dark would give such restricted vision for a nightmarish effect.

Quelaag Boss Fight
This is one of those fights that is great as is and really doesn’t have any interesting way to increase the challenge. It doesn’t fit to have enemies spawn to help her out, and her health and damage couldn’t be altered in a meaningful way. It would be more interesting to have two quelaags at the same time, but being Quelaag is a specific person, this wouldn’t make much sense. The best I could imagine for increasing the difficulty is having the lava not fade away.

Ceaseless Discharge

NG+++: remove trick to kill ceaseless discharge.

Sen’s Fortress

Again, as always, make any area that isn’t explicitly lit dark. This would mean most of the fortress if I am not mistake. Which is horrifying.

I'm still thinking of running a private server on the comp version with several changes to make it more difficult.

Again like I said, it's a dumb thread, I was bored.

BUT THE PRIVATE SERVER THING IS WHAT I ALSO WANTED TO TRY!

And I'll probably start uploading my no bonfire run later if you want to see a difficult thing implemented.

Would definitely make the game more challenging and fun. I would say balance the ridiculous increase in damage so that light armor builds have a place in PvE.

This is extensive. I was imagining a couple of the suggestions and I agree whole heartedly.

I always thought that if they implemented a randomization of mobs within the areas it would create that sense of the unknown that we get during our first playthroughs!

Great write-up!

How is one supposed to beat the Iron Golem if he's immune to damage? Also, the firebomb giant nukes the Iron Golem battle if you leave him alive, making the battle nearly impossible, so making him invincible doesn't really work.

Ghadis_God wrote:How is one supposed to beat the Iron Golem if he's immune to damage? Also, the firebomb giant nukes the Iron Golem battle if you leave him alive, making the battle nearly impossible, so making him invincible doesn't really work.

Maybe making it where your hits count for stagger without the damage this way you're forced to make him fall off the field. I agree with the fireballs though, it forces the fight to either bridge and not the main field making the fight super restricted! Than again, maybe this is the desired effect!

Hey, Buggy's fully positive now!

I like your suggestions. More enemies, and different enemy placement, would greatly add to the experience. I actually like the consistent enemy placement, as it allows for the precise planning and execution required for speed runs, but as you suggested I think they should change with NGs. What I mean is, every NG the enemies are always the same; in NG+ they're different from NG, but every NG+ is the same; same for NG++, and so on. Obviously From couldn't make an unlimited number of enemy placements, but they could make a certain number of them and make them cycle, or when you get to NG+infinity they could be in random order, etc. Also:

Black Phantom Mode! Still needs to happen. Would add enemies, in new positions, and increase the difficulty.

Thanks, post your own suggestions if you like, this isn't a very serious thread as I can't actually do this, so I would love to hear other people's ideas too.

Push him off the edge. (And you didn't hear it from me, but if his firebombs are destroyed he stops throwing, but since the player can't destroy them. . . Unless you baited the giant into destroying his own firebombs. . . hmm. . .)

You get the first +1 for noticing, now that I can give alter since I'm have positive! I forgot this would mean I could alter other people now!

I really want to do black phantom mode with someone, but the sad thing is if you do you will be screwing over two other players.

I didn't notice you had other suggestions beside enemy placement--such as making the Iron Golem invincible. I'll give this thread the respect it deserves and read it through. (Tomorrow, though!) Having the fireball giant be invincible wouldn't be such a huge inconvenient anyways, since he only throws the fireballs in the center of the arena. Especially if the only way to kill the Golem would be to make him fall, since you have to be on the bridges for that, where the giant doesn't throw.

First of all I would like to say how much I admire Buggy Virus's tenacity, hard work and devotion to Dark Souls. In fact the same sentiments apply to a lot of people on this wiki (too many to list) who give the their time freely, so that lesser mortals like myself can get as much as possible from the game. I salute you all.

However, I can't be the only one who thinks that Dark Souls is quite hard enough thank you, although I would have no objection to any of the suggestions made by Buggy Virus, as long as they formed part of an optional difficulty level and I could carry on struggling with the game as it is.

yo buggy just a suggestion, before the pc comes out and you mod the crap out of it why not try a base weapon/gear run see how many NG's you can get on that, its interesting ahaha

Maybe randomizing Mimics each playthrough, where every chest has a chance to be a Mimic? That would always keep you on your toes.

Roving enemies that patrol areas, different ones for each area and whatever they are they'll be tough, might that work, that way you either have to time yourself to avoid patrols or risk being ambushed in the middle of doing something.

Ghadis_God wrote:Maybe randomizing Mimics each playthrough, where every chest has a chance to be a Mimic? That would always keep you on your toes.

Only if all of the chains on the sides looked the same.

You know, I never noticed that there are no enemies in dark souls that actually patrol, that's a good point. That would be really cool for the Duke's if there were a ton of roving channelers.

^Turn Dark Souls into a stealth game?

I like the idea of some super-powerful enemies roaming randomly, though. When you're faced with them (you crap your pants) you go into fight or flight mode! Would add another layer of tension to the gameplay, that's for sure.

Probably should have put in more things that are related to the subtle canon references, like pardoners in the painted world, or an occult shield wielder.
