Dark Souls, it Only Gets Better From Here

Fresh from another session of Dark Souls and having just come from beating a boss, it feels great.

What doesn't feel great is that I think I made the boss harder than he needed to be to kill.

Earlier in my play, I found a ring called the "Rusty Iron Ring" and in it's description, it said that it makes moving through certain areas like swamps easier. When I found the ring, my first reaction was, "Yes, excellent, this will help me later!" Well, the boss I just fought was in a boggy swampy area, and you had to fight him knee deep in water. I didn't remember I had that ring at all, and fighting him was an absolute pain in the ass because I could barely move.

Long story short, Dark Souls still hasn't made me rage hard enough to dislike it, and I'm actually getting more into it.

Edit: Oct. 09 2011

I not only went back and checked, but also having started a new character, I was able to actually test the Rusty Iron Ring out against the aforementioned boss. The ring makes you run through knee high water as though it was nothing at all, making the boss fight SUBSTANTIALLY easier, and less time consuming.
