What moment made you realize you could beat Dark Souls? (self.dark_souls)

I remember being so intimidated by the game before playing it for the first time and struggling a lot with the beginning sections of the game. I remember fighting the first black knight in undead burg and thinking I would never beat it. After giving up a few times, I finally managed to kill him by blocking and then circling around. I've grown much more as a player since then, but that was definitely the moment where I knew I could overcome the challenges thrown at me. What about you guys?

I find it so interesting how different people struggle in different areas, and with the bosses in particular. I didn't have too much trouble with the gargoyles, but bosses like the moonlight butterfly made me really buckle down and figure out how to beat them. It really was just a game of patience as you said!

I played the game blind for the first time last year and I was so intimidated by the butterfly (you can see it from outside the arena) that I did not even go into the fight until much later. The fight then lasted 2 cycles of me dodging for what felt like 5 minutes and then slashing the butterfly when it came down to sit. I was way over leveled by that point.

It's different for everyone! I don't think I was ever over leveled for anything in ds1 which was probably good for a first playthrough. I've encountered that problem in the other games on first playthroughs but it was never anything too serious.
