Something sinister is lurking in the shadows. With all the uproar caused by the release of Titanfall on the 14th March, many may be oblivious to the silent stirring of evil monsters and terrifyingly powerful demons in From Software and Namco Bandai's second installation in the acclaimed Dark Souls franchise.
Notorious for its extreme difficulty, the first Dark Souls was a game that demanded persistence in the quest to prevail, and from the achievements list that we’ve unearthed, Dark Souls 2 looks to be no different. If you wish to avoid possible spoilers, you would be well advised not to allow your eyes to stray beyond this point.
