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 first tried DS1 a few months after it launched, around the end of 2011, and I got completely stuck against O&S despite throwing myself against the fight for hours. I had no idea about stats or scaling when I started, and felt like I had irreparably messed up my character. I'm sure it was fine, but I restarted from scratch after taking a small break. Running back through the early game and having a much smoother time fired me up for the rematch. Suddenly the game clicked, and the realisation of how far I'd come since first starting pushed me to keep going.
