    Hehe, not actual horses, just the stupid reindeer in the peaceful serenity of horsefuck valley (DLC optional area).

    BTW, you can despawn them permanently in one go (instead of the usual 12 or 20 or whatever). They spawn only from two or three places so you can just wait their respawn standing still in that general area.

    I like to do that.
    Especially with the dragons tooth.
    Just bonk their stupid shit until no more bonks left to receive.

    I hated them so much the first playthrough that I love them now for their memetic value.

      I remember cheesing them to an extent with that spear that has the rock at the end, that you have to break off first. If that makes any sense. I’ll look into it and update when I’m not working.

      Man, is it possible that I missed this? Or has it been too long since my last playthrough?

      Better start a new run soon, just in case.

        I mean, just bcs of this convo I want to do another run.

        The issue is that I do not speedrun or bossrush DS2, it takes me forever to complete a run, to take my time with everyone, appreciate all the cats (there are several more kitties in that same DLC), to contemplate retiring to Majula, pretend to be chased around by those funny pigs there, etc.

        That’s compared to DS1 and DS3 where it’s just a matter of hours, like a todo, with main variation being the build. DS1 & DS3 lore content (for me) is one of those that appreciate, but once known to me I don’t feel the need to go though/listen/read it again. Def not every time/every ng.

        Tho I tend to save Karla most of the times, just to know she’s out (it takes like two minutes to get the key & run to her).

          Funny pigs? They turn into a huge hog now. There is nothing funny about those assholes (other than the death counter in Majula ticking up consistently since time immemorial when three little piggies went to market)
