I can't remember exactly, but I'm guessing I stepped away at some point. At most, I may have made it to Majula and stopped for a bit. I know I made it a few hours into Bloodborne without dying but I don't remember having that same "how have I not died yet" moment in DkS2.

Died to some BS on Last Giant's stomp. But I had played probably 500 hours of DS1 so I was equipped to make it a decent distance for it.

Within minutes on both PS3 and PS4. I don't remember what killed me on PS3 (Probalby the Cyclops thing) but on PS4 I remember I died from fall damage that probably shouldn't have happened. Oh well sucks to suck.

Hour and 16 minutes in original DS2. No idea what I died to.

Hour 56 minutes in SOTFS. I think the trophy picture was a hippo sitting on me (that hitbox can fuck off) near the beginning of Forest of Fallen Giants.

Skipped the Ogre from Betwixt but I died from poison damage from those poisonous hollows at that Shaded Woods gate ambush.

Fun fact: Because Majula is a poorly designed hub area, it took me an hour to find the entrance to Forest of the Fallen Giants in my first run. Thought Heide's Tower was the first area.

DS2 (2014): First death 16 mins before first bonfire.

In SOTFS (2018): First death 13 mins before first bonfire.

I played quite alot of Souls in those four years. Apparently it helped me stay somewhat consistent? Lol

well,you hit the brick wall faster in SOTFS since you moved through the earlier section with more ease,so the way I see it it's an improvement

Died right in the begining while exploring the grass field where we spawn, looking for hidden items i fell of the cliff. So probably 1 or 2 minutes after starting the game. I died before even seeing any enemy.

Don't remember when or what it was. Based off of the achievements I have it was before I beat The Last Giant and after I found the Covenant of the Meek.

I played DS2 on the 360 and I don't know or care to find out if that has timestamps.

On the PC I died for the first time about 19 minutes after creating my character, so either I died to the hippo or early in the forest.
For SotFS it looks like I died before even creating my character, guess I was screwing around a bunch in the starting area.

First death was getting smashed by one of the old knights at Heide's Tower. I had skipped the Forest of the Fallen Giants completely as I didn't know about it, so I was taking on these giant knights with a broken sword. Twas fun.

According to PSNProfiles:

15th Feb 2016, 2:52:19 PM was when I finished making a character

16th Feb 2016, 2:19:21 PM was when I first died

Granted, it was to the Last Giant, and I probably didn't play for very long on my the first session.

But yeah, I remember Dark Souls 2: SotFS being very easy until the DLC. I did play a lot of Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne prior to playing DS2.

35 minutes for me. I don't remember what happened now, but going off the screenshot I ever fell or got knocked off the edge of something either in the cave before Majula, or the cave on the way down to Forest of the Giants.

On my most recent run (trying vanilla DkS2 after finishing SotFS earlier), I died 11 minutes before I got to the first bonfire, probably from getting cocky with the cyclops hippo.

Originally, with SotFS, it's funny... I didn't die getting to the first bonfire (June 3rd, 2017), but died when I picked the game back up almost a year later on March 7th, 2018. :) I must have gotten sidetracked, or wasn't really feeling it after finishing PtDE.
