10 TERRIBLE Levels In Great Video Games

Cited as one of the best, if most punishing, video games of all time, Dark Souls is a game that took the gaming world by storm following its release back in 2011. Utilising intricate level design, advanced combat mechanics and an abundance of role-playing features FromSoftware's title was always going to be one of the year's biggest releases, however it was in the game's ridiculous difficult that Dark Souls really established its legacy.

For the most part there's a good balance in this difficulty, pushing players skills and know-how to the limit, punishing mistakes. The exception to this was Blighttown, a level in the game that took the word 'ordeal' to new lengths.

One of the most important locations in the entire game, Blighttown is an intimidating place for even the most veteran of players. The whole town is just a whirlwind of introducing new mechanics and features, introducing poisonous and toxic substances and enemies such as the Blowdart Sniper which has the tendency to just jump out at players from the pitch black around them.

There are a couple handy bits of loot around Blighttown to help players navigate through a little easier however, in true Dark Souls fashion, these have been fiendishly hidden away in hard to spot areas and are often missed out on entirely by new players.
