Valley of Defilement

Even with Blind/ Sticky White Stuffed Guillotine Axe +6, I fear this horrid place.

*shivers up with my childhood teddy bear cuddled in my arms*


This was what I was hoping for in Dark Souls. Sadly New Londo is the only place that comes close to this feeling.


I love the way the Guillotine Axe feels in my hands too. In fact, most Demon's Souls weapons feel really good and balanced.

i've got used to blighttown, new londo and tomb of giants
but NEVER valley of defilement, at least the bosses aren't that hard

Those giant goblins are arseholes.

No poise and no Rusted Iron Ring make that place a dark, unhappy place.

Especially when you're farming for Faint and Marrowstones.

Those giant trolls omg they are EVIL. Don't go in there in Pure Black xD

Already done lol, went from the Dirty Colossus Archstone so I could backtrack more "easily" to BP Selen Vinland. I'll tell ya, second chance performed admirably during that 20 minutes.

I just make it a priority to open the shortcut before exploring the swamp. At least, I can skip the bullcrap if I wish so that way.

Ah, the fond memories. I always stayed on the right side of the large swamp area, praying that the giant depraved ones didn't see me and beat my character to death. I always try to be careful and make it top priority to open up the shortcut.

Ahh, the memories of my berserk archer OHKOing the mobs :face:

I've been to VoD exactly ONCE, and so far I haven't been back since! Granted, my first & only visit was with a fairly low level character, and now that I'm sl50 I'm sure the place won't be as bad, but I just haven't been able to muster up the testicular fortitude to go back to that place!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Dark Souls, but there is just something about the atmosphere in Demon's Souls that didn't get captured quite as well in DkS (except possibly, as OP stated, New Londo!)

That sounds like an awesome build. I'm working on a dex build right now.

BP giant depraved ones are still one of the most terrifying things I've encountered in both Souls games.

youve obvs never fought the BP katanas skellies!

Doesn't matter if it is a BP version of a giant depraved one or black skeleton. At least 15 playthroughs in, on a PBWT, and I get one-hit killed regardless.

I became quite comfy there in 5-2 while farming marrowstone chunks from the mosquitoes. Faith builds and the Valley are like PB&J.

Hehehe, i never found VoD that hard but yeh i also love the BoC boss fight and think the false king boss was just as easy as gwin without parries :roll:

BoC as in Bed of Chaos? I can't think of any bosses in DeS with those initials. Phalanx, TK, Penetrator, FKA, AS, FL, DG, FI, ME, OM, Adjudicator, OH, SK, LM, DC, MA, OKD and KA

yeh... :roll:

I never managed to kill that NPC phantom in the swamp. She, I think it is a she, got me everytime because my feet were stuck in the mud and she moved so fast. Most times I forgot she was there until it was too late but even when I was looking out for her I could never manage it.

I really don't get what is with the fear of this place, those skeletons in the Shrine of Storms, now those are the true horror of this game.

At early levels, they can be a challenge but those giant depraved ones in tight spaces are a real *****.
