Title screen

The intro shows heart-wrenching memories from the past...

Character creation

Your first bonfire - a familiar experience!

Magnificent view near the village of Majula

Visceral fighting in a cave

In this semi-abandoned house, a cat is selling items and managing covenants!

Another incredible view over Heide's Tower

A brutal battle in a dark cathedral

Low-level enemies attack in the Forest of the Fallen Giants

Cardinal Tower - looking down from a bridge, a fire salamander below!

One of the game's earlier bosses - and look how huge he is!

Duking it out with another boss in a dramatic battle on top of a ruined tower - right in the middle of a very painful moment!

This is Lost Bastille, one of the game's several large towers. Ahead are my lost souls and a grim-looking scythe-waiving guy

Breathtaking view from a platform over a ruined, sunken city!

Boss battle in a round arena - be careful not to fall off!

This is not a boss - just a regular (though very imposing) meanie! Check out those wound effects

Atmospheric, moody No Man's Wharf

A triple boss battle! This one is mind-bogglingly tough - luckily, there seems to be a way to avoid it!

Learning and attuning magic spells

You unleash your wrath on those barrels! Much of the environment is destructible

I'm just enjoying this fantastic view, showing off my new shield - and you shoot arrows at me?!..

Sinner's Rise - fighting monsters in water!

An inventory with all kinds of items and nice descriptions

Traversing a cave with creatures casting poisonous fog

A desolate view over a dead forest

This is Huntsman Copse - a sad, sad place... Crazy-looking enemy is ahead

Ambushed by maniacal knights - using a whip to get rid of them

Battle on a bridge against a red knight

Posing with statues in the Undead Purgatory

My character has regained humanity, and I decided to give him a different, more revealing helmet. Posing in the Grave of Saints

More red people?.. This one is a creature "invading my world" from another dimension - happens when you are fully human

Boss battle against multiple rats amongst rat statues! I'm using a fire sword here

Wazzup. Yeah, it's me. Did plastic surgery, okay? You happy now? Can I go, please?..

All right, all right. I was messing with you - that was just a mask. That's my true face, hehe... Pretty hollow, ain't it? By the way, check out my outfit and scary shadow...

Posing in front of a sunken city, clad in more traditional garb, reading plaques and all that. Just chillin', basically

Yeah, I was poisoned and just recovered. Don't post this on Facebook, please

Guys. Guys. Ok, look... I AM against slavery, let's be clear about that. Are we cool now?..

Is this a hammer in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

I'm not sure I was even supposed to walk on this beam. Regardless, this is the very final animation before I die. Enjoy

Mmmmmuahh!... Didn't expect to kiss LADIES in this game!... One of them must love guys with huge swords. The other one takes 120 damage from jealousy!

I politely jumped backwards to give you a better view of this intricate art in a nightmarish palace late in the game

One huge guy is about to hit me hard while the other is impaling me on his freakish lightning sword. I knew my aunt was right when she suggested Bahamas for a vacation

Traveling between bonfires. Most of them are already unlocked; but, as you can see, there is always something you can miss!

Posing in Vengarl's Helm, wielding the huge Demon's Great Hammer (the damage is insane). Below is the mysterious Shrine of Amana, late in the game

Drangleic Castle, the location you finally gain access to after many, many trials and hardships. It's raining...

Door of Pharos - fighting crazy elephant warriors and alike in water!

Posing in exotic gear at the army camp, overlooking Tseldora monastery. Note how an enemy is about to push a huge boulder on my head!

The Gulch is a weird, poisonous place! I'm fighting a disgusting enemy while wielding a strange shield...

Boss battle against the Rotten - one of the tougher ones in the game! This ugly guy hits hard!..
