I think one of my favorite was when I was doing my second playthrough. I was using the halberd and managed to wreck the Capra demon on my first try with some charcoal pine resin. It felt real good to get him don't after having such trouble on my first playthrough

Ah, that reminds me. I had heard legends of the devilish duo known as Snorlax and Pikachu; players stopping their playthrough right then and there, 500+ deaths on the boss fight, it had me scared. Got to the fight, I killed them first time, on my first playthrough. You better believe I was ecstatic. I had the worst time with Capra my first runthrough, fucking dogs dude, they still occasionally get me

I am working on a no-shields run and so far it has placed in all three categories. Most fun: going dodge-only on Artorias (now I understand why a lot of people think it's the best fight in the game). Most heartpounding: only having parries for defense in PvP. Most brutal: having to plan around simply tanking the Four King's magic bolts. I never realized how much simpler Dark Souls is with a good shield until I forced myself to go without.

Artorias, hands down, one of my hardest and favorite fight in the souls series. Shield only run sounds interesting, I just completed a SL1 pyro run for fun, I may have to try shields. It's getting to the point where the game gets a bit easy, you gotta make your own challenges.

That's what I love about this game though; you may burn through the official achievements, but there are so many possible challenges you can do yourself. Like the SL1, or no-shields, or shields-only, or wolverine, or...
What's funny though is the one thing I've never done in this game is an "as-it-was-intended" run. I got into Dark Souls by watching Let's Plays and speed runs, so I started off with the master key and the shortcuts. I've never done it the old fashioned way. Which is why I'm so excited for Dks3. No wikis/youtubers to spoil it.

Ah man I've had quite a few memorable experiences. However, the most memorable one to me had be my during my first playthrough when I went up against Artorias.
I had nothing else planned for that day so I had all day to play some Dark Souls and man it was worth it. I got to the DLC and fought my way through to Artorias. I fought against him for a good five hours until I finally decided I should go to sleep. Woke up the next day managed to beat him first try. It was great. He is probably the only boss that I have truly memorized the moveset for.

I've shared the frustration of not being able to get past a part in a game, only to come back sometimes weeks later and get it first try. It's always an... unusual feeling, but I was on the same boat with Artorias. In fact, I actually do think I came back maybe a month later, after being unable to beat him for so long. Seriously, Souls games have such a perfect amount of difficulty; enough to piss you the hell off, but enough to keep you driven and going. Truly, some of the best games I've played to date.
