Always walk with your shield up, and upon meeting the enemy, backroll just in case ;)

Constantly keeping distance also helps... sometimes.

Take everything slow. If you nail down enemy patterns, you nail down the game.

I consider this kind of comments much more arrogant! :p

It isn't that easy, not when one just starts the game. Even with the shield up there are good chances of falling in a ambush and die. What distance do you keep when those b@stards come out from nowhere? Then if they hit the shield the stamina has gone in a couple of shots. Sure now I can easily beat 1.1 but I spent hundreds of hours replaying the game for the platinum.

That's you. I didn't find it hard and people saying that OMG IT IZ EPITOMZ OF HARDZ is something I find really annoying. It's logical, and it's challenging. You're hit in the shield? Back away. You're being swung at? Move away. There is no real assault from nowhere in the game, aside from those damn Latria Wardens.

Myself? I cleared 1-1 at my second try. Mainly because on the first one, I veered the wrong way and fought the red eye knight instead of the blue. Being a lowly level 1 soldier, he blitzed me.
