Dying in Dark Souls is no rare occurrence, but for the players that like to know just how much suffering they have forgone at the hands of this 2011 role-playing game comes the perfect tool for just such an occasion. A recent website adequately called darksoulsdeath.com allows PC players of the From Software’s title to enumerate just how many times they have met with ill fate while playing through the open world environment.
The process of finding out the total number of deaths in your Dark Souls PC save file is fairly simple. All you have to do to gain this information is to visit the website and upload your save file which can be found in Documents/NBGI/DarkSouls/[your name]. Now just submit your file and voila! You now know just how many times you perished in that particular playthrough.
Unfortunately, this particular service is only available to PC players so PS3 and Xbox 360 owners are left describing their number of deaths as “a lot”. However, anyone with any ideas on how to make this work for consoles is invited to contact the owners of the website, which can be done easily right from the homepage. Will you be reliving the frustration of Dark Souls with darksoulsdeaths.com, or do you prefer not knowing just how many gruesome deaths Dark Souls pushed you into? It will be interesting to see if this service will later be offered to Dark Souls 2 as well, a game that launches globally this week, and that has so far brought in some great reviews.
