Never got eaten by a treasure chest actually. I was lucky enough to see someones message warning me of a trap and to try attacking, so I did.
Did surprise the hell out of me when it came alive and tried to kick my ass however.
My biggest problem in sens was always when I was trying to cross the narrow bridges and some stupid lizard would shoot lightning from where I couldn't see him and knock me off.
That's cool. I've been seeing some messages in front of treasure chest since that area. I still swing at every chest though, lol. I had a full bar of health, and I died when I opened it, hahah. I was curious about that lil elevator thing in that same room, wondering if there was two floors to go up. But I noticed the blood on it (not from other players), and was like "nope". That incident made me a lot more cautious about things. So I'm thankful for that.
And yea, speaking of Anor Londo. Dam! I'm there right now. Those archers that you have to fight on them narrow ass ledges! Them fools are archers, but aint even shootin arrows. Them bastards are slingin Ultra Great Swords at my ass! While on some pincer attack shit, hahah. Can't front though, pretty epic fighting them on a little edge and walkway (whatever you wanna call the thing the dude on the left is on). Even though it's hard as a mo fo (for me anyways) and gives me those "oh my fukin gawd" moments. Lost 36,000 dam souls up there trying to get past them dudes one time. I was goin for the guy on the left, and the dude on the right/behind me basically fuckin back stabbed me with that great sword he shot at me. Then I messed around and accidentally jumped/rolled of the edge trying to dodge the next one, hahah. Fighting the archer on the right is scary too, being on that ledgd. But I love advancing towards him and rolling through his shots. Im like "Yea bitch you better be scared seein me dodgin these and getting closer fool".
Before making it to the second Gargoyle though. I leveled up a couple times fighting those giant dudes since they're pretty easy and give hella souls, plus being right next to the bonfire. Flew back to the other area to find some different armor, cause I basically been using the same chain mail armor I bought since the beginning. I have that Crimson Robe and that other black one you get in the Demons Lair, which have some nice stats. But 0 poise and I don't want to be rockin a dress. Was pretty fun revisiting the older areas, especially now I've upgraded my stamina enough to use my Claymore, I can roll once after an RB, and an RT combo (or vice versa) then I'm at 0 stamina. I leveled that bitch up to +10 too, and am running around on some "remember me mutha fuckas? shit, lol.
So much has happened, can't possibly put it all here. Yall know how it is. I'm sure yall remember your first time experiencing all this madness and awesomeness. At the moment, I'm inside the Anor Londo castle (or whatever) after passing the Great Sword slingin archers. And I made it all the way to the fog door with just 3 flasks left (so glad you get 10 at that bonfire) no more healing spells. And it wants me to invade the fool that killed the fire keeper in the Firelink Shrine. Hella nervous, hahah. But at least there are doors unlocked inside now so I don't have to go througn so much again, if I die.
EDIT*
Update. I unlocked the side gate, right where that huge blacksmith is at. Un-stressed about dying right now.
I had heard of them before playing the game and the 20 blood stains surrounding it were a pretty good indication, but I still got killed by it because it was a new enemy and I didn't know it's moveset yet.
Sen's fortress didn't give me much trouble aside from the boulders and just being lost for a majority of the time, then once I got up top I just cheesed whatever enemies I could with the bow. Then I got to Anor Londo.....that was fun -_-
lol. That's hilarious. I bet there were blood stains everywhere back in the early and mid stages of this game. It's awesome people are still playing it and even experiencing it for the first time now.
