In the original version of Dark Souls (pre-remaster) they didn’t explain how to cure the curse when you got it. So you’re cursed, no idea what to do, but you get a hint to visit New Londo ruins from the guy at fire link bonfire.
So you are forced to track all the way across the map Imost people get cursed under the swamp in Blight Town) with half health, and finally trek into the foreboding swamp full of hitherto invincible ghosts. But guess what? Now that you’re cursed, you can actually damage them and that seemingly impossible area is suddenly totally doable.
You fight your way through it, and break the curse.
Doing that felt like something out of a fantasy novel. A real adventure that made me feel like a kid playing video games for the first time.
Long story short, that’s probably my most memorable gaming moment.
