That's how long it took me to beat it. I never summoned another player for help, truly "I did it." My soul level was 83 when I killed the final boss, using a fully upgraded magic Halberd. How about anyone on the forums? Have any of you beaten it yet? If so, did you ever use help? And more importantly, what soul level and weapon did you use to win?

Congrats! Damn that is some good value for that game!

I haven't gotten around to beating Demon's Souls yet, but I can't wait to get Dark Souls already.

It can get tough. Luckily, the world is so big that if you ever get stuck on a boss, there's usually an area you haven't been to yet that you can explore and maybe level up at. I had to do that once.

I don't have it, my housemate does though and has supposedly put around 25+ hours plus and isn't that far in. He's currently trying to fight a giant spider woman thing in a nest that the entrance is covered by 3 giants.

No way, I saw another save in the video. You could tell he knew that area like the back of his hand. Still impressive though

Okay, but one look at his health and it's clearly not his first playthrough. He's probably on NG++ or even +++. I'm just wondering if anyone else on the forums has done it yet, and how they fared. I am also curious to hear how others are doing in the game in general.

No, he started a new game. After he beat it, he even deleted the save that he did it on.

I imagine that what makes beating Dark Souls take so long is because you have to go really slow and die so much. So theoretically, if you are amazing at the game and never die you could collect enough souls to advance through the game and beat the final boss. I believe that.

I said it was not "THAT hard." I beat Zelda II about a month ago, that and Dark Souls have made me start wondering what I consider "hard."

I beat it at 70 hours, level 80 using the dark knight's great axe(cannot recall its name). If you skipped pvp, you should definitely give it a go. I spent ALOT of my time doing pvp. So much fun :)

And firefox, I hope you're not bringing your negative perspective of Dark Souls into a celebratory thread such as this, right?

Congratulations on beating Dark Souls. I don't know if 73 and a half hours is a good time. But you finished the game.
