Fuck Blighttown's main entrance, fuck that all day. Fuck it. I played DS2 then DS3 first, just went back to play DS1 since my XBONE supports it. I died more on accident in the upper portion of Blighttown than anywhere else in any of these games thus far. Not because the enemies are tough, although they are, but because I either A) Fall to my death or B) the camera decides it's more important for me to see a closeup of a wooden plank than to see my character.

But......there's loot there. Copypasta from http://darksouls.wiki.fextralife.com/Blighttown
