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.

Lol for like the first 10 hrs of the game i didnt use a shield or armor (chose barbarian witch he didnt come with anything but a mace) cause i just assumed that blocking with a shield only reduced a small percentage of the damage, so i thought "F it may as well just dodge the attacks".. so i did, and i didnt use armor because when you have heavy armor on your roll goes super slow... So i just ran around butt nekid with a 2h. I also killed the very first boss (that your ment to die on) its super easy cause if you have no armor on you can easily out maneuver him
