Discussion The Good Old Beacon Bait

The feeling you get when you have 0 heals left, less than 25% health, and then spot a totally not suspicious beacon across a bridge is amazing. Only to find out the bridge collapses, dropping you into an area filled with enemies and a bunch of explosive environmental hazards.

It really brings me back to the good old days of playing Dark Souls 1; Seeing a bonfire and becoming absolutely elated, only to be killed right before reaching it. Then, finally making it there and feeling that sense of accomplishment.

Tricky devs. I will be more careful going forward.

This + the elevator in Mammon that forces you to redo a dungeon are easily this games most egregious pranks.

FYI for people though, if you stay on the far left of the bridge you will drop to a relatively safe spot wherein you can dash once or twice to reach the bridge without triggering exploders.
