the game is trying to tell you something This is exactly why so many people praise its design . Nondirect guiding . For example , there is almost no instance where you find JUST LOOT . Everything can be a tool in Dark Souls if you know where to apply it . Remember the Iron Boar at the Gate ? And the Boar is a nightmare to deal with early on ? There is an item right there on the spot that can help you kill the boar in a matter of seconds if you read it ' s description and just try it out . And the whole game is like this . <| sep |> No reindeer Yuuki no deal ! <| sep |> Never bought a bank booster and have an ~ 250 item loot tab , yet I ' m still pushing 100 free slots . Have you got rid of all your useless quest items ? Random Junk ?
