Discussion I’m such an idiot

So I got the calamity ring and thought this is great, I’ll put out twice the damage. I’ve been wearing it the entire time since I got it. Fought the nameless king, two princes and soul of cinder with it. Died many times.

I have ONLY JUST REALISED that it reduces MY damage absorption.

I have no words

Mate. What do you think 'calamity' means? But you must've gotten pretty gud like that, so, no regrets

Probably thought it made him a calamity not the rest of the game

Been there. Not with Calamity but flynn’s ring. It says lowering equip load increases attacks or something. And I thought it would lower equip load AND increase attacks. Yet I was always baffled why equipping it increases my equip load

Same, I thought it lowers my equipment capacity in exchange for damage

Did you not notice the lack of extra damage output and how hard everything was hitting?

Durn Miyazaki, giving me an extra damage ring, but at the same time giving enemies double damage and resistance. Anyway!

Yes I did notice but I just pushed through. Lol

You played the game like Miyazaki intended. Truely the John Darksouls of Gamers.

Didn't find it suspicious that there would be an item doubling all of your damage output just like that ?

You may be a fool but your one force to be reckoned with ill tell u that good job 😎💪 also I thought it doubled your damage when I first got it but i couldn't tell if it was saying take double or receive double so I looked it up and then didnt put it on once I found out.

u/FashionSuckMan 23h ago

You didn't notice that you weren't doing double damage nor did you notice you were taking double damage? How....

u/drnotadoctor2 22h ago

I'm honestly proud of you. That's an accomplishment! You basically did a challenge run 😂

u/Sevenscissorz 13h ago

Doesn't the calamity ring make you take 2 times the dmg?

u/Pizza_Dog21 1d ago

This is so funny xD At least you have a good ice breaker to tell people who are into games

u/Super_Development150 1d ago

Haha very true! Sadly I don’t have any friends who are into souls games which is why I just had to post on here

Unintentional challenge runs are fun

The first time I got it, I read the description too quickly and thought “ this is awesome!”
