I recently heard it was a brutal experience and have been thinking of trying it as a challenge.

Here is a list of the changes that were made in one of the balancing updates: https://pastebin.com/HxMjdaBx

Some of the notable changes were:

  • Upgrade scaling buffed 5-20%
  • Overall increase in souls gained (~2-2.5 times more)
  • Damage reduced on some mobs?
  • HP lowered on some mobs?
  • Reduced acquisition range on normal enemies.
  • Supposedly reduced poise on some enemies.
  • Bosses drop Humanity and Homeward Bones
  • Ghosts and Skeletons give souls now.
  • Twinkling Titanite drop rate improved.
  • Pyromancers in Catacombs drop Skull Lanterns.
  • Darkwraiths in New Londo drop Dark Hand.
  • Male Undead Merchant: Also sells bottomless box
  • Female Undead Merchant: Sells Arrows / Crossbolts
  • Andrei: Sells Arrows / Crossbolts
  • Domnhal of Xena: Sells Arrows / Crossbolts, Master Key (5000)
  • Giant Blacksmith: Sells Arrows / Crossbolts, Small Titanite Shards, Large Tit Shards, Twinkling (8000 per, inf amount), Green Shards, Repair box, upgrade boxes

    Back when your weapon scaling didn’t determine who you were capable of invading, the Undead Burg was full of invaders that beat the game at level 10 with maxed-out weapons.

    …I miss those days.
