Hey,
I am exploring Dark Souls lately and those poison swamps always get me. Every time I step into one, I start panicking and end up chugging Estus like there’s no tomorrow. It feels like I’m constantly racing against the poison meter instead of enjoying the game.
I’m curious how you all handle these areas. Do you have specific strategies for avoiding poison, like certain routes or equipment? Or do you manage your Estus and buffs in a particular way to survive more efficiently? Any tips for keeping calm and making it through without constantly dying would be awesome. I’d love to hear your experiences and advice so I can finally tackle these swamps more confidently!
Every time I enter the poison swamps I feel like I’m wasting half my healing items. Do you guys actually plan a route ahead of time or just wing it? Also random thought — has anyone here ever used mumble voip while playing co-op? I feel like real-time callouts might help calm the panic.
