Dark Souls 3 Blind Playthrough | Day 14 (chat enabled after final boss)
00:11 We are Oh, that's loud. Oh, that's loud. Hello. Hello. We're back again. We're back again for I think the final boss of the game.
01:12 We're going to kill him and then we're going to turn on chat and have a little chat about Dark Souls II and whatever else comes to mind. We'll see. I'm sure our I'm sure going to I'm going to learn a lot after the chat goes on. Things that I missed in my playthrough.
01:36 Things that I did wrong. Things you guys were impressed by. Things that tilted you guys off this earth. Cuz I'm sure there's several things. Let's just go in there and get a little warmed up, I guess. I don't really know what else there's there is to do right now. Slave Knight Gale.
02:06 What a great boss. Welcome, welcome everybody. We're just straight into it. No intro needed. Just you know what we're doing. We're playing Dark Souls. I hope you guys are excited for chat to be turned on. I'm excited, but I guess I'm like
03:10 nervous, too. I just don't know. What are you guys going to say about me? Just like you guys going to hurt my ego. There we go. Phase two. One of the coolest fights of the game. Oops. Oh, that hit me.
04:47 Just straight into business here, guys. Right onto Gail right away. We're dead. And we're dead. So, we're just getting warmed up. We uh we got to like get our brain into Dark Souls mind uh mode here with the bosses. By the way, Boogie Woogie, appreciate
05:16 the uh sub on Twitch. Great day to sub because you're going to be able to be able to talk. I think as long as I can kill Gail on this stream if we're going to be here for the next uh four hours, five hours, whatever. Unfortunately, chat will still be off.
05:34 But I I assume this has to be the last boss, too. Like maybe there's something else after this. But this feels kind of like the end. Oh. I didn't. Oops. That's a lot of flask, too. Let's not do that anymore.
07:00 Base two. Shvby with the prime. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I This music is insane. Oh, I actually thought we dodged there. I think we have kind of our best setup right now. So, there's not much we can do about changing up our uh weapon or
07:43 our technique or whatever. We just kind of have to get good, don't we? I think we've seen most of the fight unless he has like a phase two or whatever or get some health back at the end. So, it's just a matter of uh killing killing the dude. Killing the
08:01 dude. Oh, [ __ ] Oh, that's tough. That's tough. I'm trying just to enjoy this last fight as much as I can. And I guess if we take a little bit of time, more people will show up and we can we can talk after
10:10 like the it's going to be rewarding to beat the boss, of course, but it's I feel like it's going to be rewarding to unleash all of you. I have many questions, many questions about this game that I will find out over time. I'm I'm kind of excited to go and watch like Dark Souls
10:31 II videos. Probably not too many before I like actually finish my script and stuff cuz I don't want to like influence my script or anything on this the video, you know, but I want to I want to see more about this game. I want to hear about some stuff I
10:48 missed. I also want to explore for some [ __ ] that I've missed. But we got a we got Twitch chat in and YouTube chat or whatever ready to help out with that, too. It's like almost as exciting to know that I have like I played the whole game
11:19 of course, but it's like exciting to know that I missed so much and I get to learn about that stuff or like go and experience it in like other playthroughs. I feel like there's not a lot of games out there where that's the case unless you like, you know, looked up everything
11:37 on your first playthrough and you, you know, kind of did everything in the first time, which I feel like I'm getting the sense that some people did. People look up guy like I have seen a couple comments on Dark Souls 1 I think the the second video too where people say they just
11:52 they did guides for the entire thing which I mean I guess that's fine cuz you don't miss anything but it's also in my opinion probably not the first thing you should do. I mean obviously you want to like experience everything you can you can about the game but I also feel like it's
12:13 important to like discover things on your own too. So, I don't know. I actually have mixed feelings about it cuz I know I'm missing a [ __ ] ton of this game, but I know I'm also like getting some of the best like experience and like playing it as pure as it can be.
12:53 Oh. Ah. Oh, I'm didn't expect the back to back moves here. He's harder than yesterday. I feel like I I was kind of locked in yesterday for a bit until the very end. Then I just lost everything. But
13:22 it's like I guess I could play like very ve very very patiently and like wait for the very obvious openings that I know are like free damage, but I don't know. We'll see. We'll see how long it takes to do it. More like free I feel like my dodges are later this
14:37 game or today. We should be dead. All right. Two. Oh, one more. I dodged really early there. Oh, that should not be alive. Thank you, Gail, for being merciless. Merciful. Merciless. Different word. Ah, I got to dodge into him for that.
16:02 Good night. Huh? I thought I dodged there. Whoops. Maybe this is my hardest boss. I don't know. Feel like what took a while. Well, sister freed free day with her dad. I had to kind of I had to summon an NPC
16:33 for that. Maybe I would have gotten through it eventually, but that was taking me a long time. Midair the dragon was tough. I think that took me I don't know. Definitely over an hour. Um, who else took a while? Nameless King, of course. Oh, the Soul Cinder.
16:55 And this guy like kind of all equal at the moment. I can't get past him that easy. The health randomly just increased so much with uh Madier and this guy. Or maybe I'm just doing like I should be doing more damage. I don't know. What?
18:20 There should be phase. Nice. Come here. That should be a little bit aggressive. H. It feels like there's a lot more openings if I stay close, but if I go far away, it's it's obviously safer. So,
19:02 I don't I don't know what the play is here. I feel like my best attempts were yesterday be in the beginning because I I waited for the like most basic opening and then it the fight lasted 15 minutes and I still died. So, I don't know if I want to do that or not. I feel like it's
19:25 it's a nice boss to like get in his face. I don't know. H. How did I miss there? Nice. Let's try it again. I guess I'm going to be I'm just going to try a little bit safer again just to see if we can
21:32 whittle him down. Feel like being close is not good with uh no armor on. It's more boring, but whatever. Huh? Huh? I'm Ah [ __ ]
23:13 What? Give us a break at least. Okay, you can roll into them like that. Ah, [ __ ] I will defeat you, Gail. H, I'm dead. Jesus, dude. Thought I dodged correctly. Bring on the lightning.
24:57 No. Oh, the [ __ ] lightning got me. Unlucky. Come on. No, that's going to hurt. So badass. Shit's getting intense, boys.
27:21 Oh, we have lightning though. How'd I do no damage there? God damn it. I got staggered during my attack and I messed up my timings and I got greedy. I also try to attack when I shouldn't have. All right, we can kill him. We can kill
28:20 him. We can kill him. I didn't expect to get staggered off of his cape or whatever hit me there. So, I thought he was just going to die. Whatever. It's a peak fight. It's a peak fight. We're just dancing, right? I also figured out what his uh what his like punish is or where I when I should
28:40 punish. God damn it. If the fight was bad, I'd be more upset. But I just get more time on Gail, which I'm kind of happy about. Like 5% happy, I'll say. Instead of just being like 100% angry, I'm like 5% happy. Like if this was Sister Freeday or
29:28 whatever and I didn't summon help from the NPC and she was one hit, I'd be pissed. I'd be I'd be [ __ ] furious. Actually, I I might have stopped the stream. That was That's my least favorite boss. No doubt. Oops.
29:59 It's a good fight. I I just feel like it takes forever to get to the actual third phase where like the real fun begins. I don't know. Phase two wasn't very fun for me. Phase one I figured out eventually, but it was still kind of buggy. I'm dead as hell. Shut my mouth.
30:22 Okay. Can we just like chill for a second? Thank you. Come and get it. Phase two should be I think I face it here. Oh, he's never done that spin away dodge. Okay. Okay. And my axe missed, of course. If we got him down that low in what is
31:02 it? 30 minutes. We got him. We got him. I do wish I had a different weapon. Like this weapon is definitely a little slow for how quick he is, but it does does a lot of damage. I could use my Atora sword, but I think it it takes two hits to do basically one hit of damage. And I can sometimes get
31:26 two hits in with this thing, so I think it's still better. Plus, if I'm missing with this, then I'm sure they're going to miss with my store sword, too. This is a big weapon. Should we base now?
32:38 Boom. Boom. All right. Huh? Hey. Hey. Oops. I got to stop dodging that way.
34:05 No, [ __ ] me. Oo, barely alive. Why am I eating? I'm so tired of missing. God damn it. That's getting pretty greedy. Love this fight.
35:33 Heat. Heat. too early. Eat. That was a terrible [ __ ] dodge. Oh [ __ ] Got to stop doing that. I dodged early. God damn.
37:45 One mistake on that phase and you're kind of cooked. Unless he gives you a little bit of time to eat. But this is I'm like fully in rhythm. Like if you're in rhythm, you're going to just be fine. And if you're not in rhythm, you're just kind of dead. Cuz like I'm I'm kind of rolling almost
38:06 like off of audio cues now. I feel like or obviously visual cues, but like I roll knowing what's coming up next. like before I even like see the move, I know like what the timing is, which is obviously good, but it's obviously bad if you're not ready for a certain timing or you get that first part of that
38:23 timing off on on Silon. I could not figure out the timing at all. That's why I died a lot. And I also thought thought that it was like kind of an unfair fight for like dodging at least. I thought I ate
39:10 I missed twice. I had no energy. Macaroni's back with a sub. I didn't see you, bro. I'm sorry. Let me focus up. Boom. Boom. face. I really wish this deep protection thing
40:13 lasts a little longer. hurt. What? God damn it. Huh? Missed. missed. Oh, that's bad.
42:03 We're using a lot of our flasks here. Lenny Penny, thank you for the sub. Why do I have this open right now? I don't know. It's very distracting. Heat. Heat. Hat. Huh?
43:23 Heat. Heat. Oh, I deleted. I'm dead. Yeah. Ah, I only had one flask. Probably was going to kill him there, but come on. Oh, it's so frustrating to get a dodge a little early cuz then you're just off rhythm.
44:27 I think I see the vision. I see where we need to go to kill him. We just got to not make that mistake at the second phase. Man, I am at this point officially tired of my giant axe build, by the way. Unfortunately, I don't think I can really change it up at this rate. I
44:47 think it's the highest damaging I have. And I could use a sword, but it's just feels like I'm already used to the rhythm on him and all that. So, we kind of have to stick with it. I also can't do like the coolest move with this weapon, too. I guess I could
45:25 do it, but it wouldn't it wouldn't be worth the time here. There's 1,000. Maybe it is worth it. At least in phase one. Mhm. I'm so tired of this weapon missing,
46:32 dude. Oh my god. Huh? Fine. That one gets me every time. Let's go this way. Comes the lightning. Fun. Fun.
48:32 I think it's going to hit me. Oh, this is bad. Dodge. Oh my god. What? Holy [ __ ] Why did you dodge? Four left. Uh-huh.
50:18 Come here. I ran out of energy. That was all we wanted to do. There we go. Phase two. Are we done? Hey, well played. Well played, Gail. What a cool [ __ ] fight. One of my favorites of all three games and DLC's.
51:18 Soul of the Slave Knight, Gail and Blood of the Dark Soul. Time for some lore. You guys were here. Lenny Penny, you were here, dude. Kan Tur, you were here. All right, let me let me read this real quick before we turn off chat or on chat or whatever. All right, we've got
51:42 his soul. The red hooded wandering slave knight Gail sought the blood of the dark soul as pigment for the painted world. But Gail knew he was no champion, that the dark soul would likely ruin him. He had little hope of a safe return. I love the Dark Souls NPCs or bosses or
51:59 enemies that like are aware of their situation and just kind of accept like, you know, it's over. I'm just going to be this way. What else did I get? I forgot soul. Dark soul. No. What' I get? Where is it? Was it his weapon? I totally forgot what we what we got
52:35 from him. It was one other item. I was too too busy thanking everybody for being here. Um, the It must be an item. I don't even remember. I have to turn on chat to ask for what this is. Was it one of these? No,
53:00 it was Oh, the dark soul. Blood of the dark soul. It's a key pigment to depict a painted world. Here we go. We found it. Used as pigment by his lady in Arendelle to depict a painted world. When Gail came upon the Pygmy Lords, he discovered that their blood had long ago dried and so consumed the dark soul.
53:21 Damn, used as pigment. So like Am I I'm missing something else, right? Do I take this to the painted world? I think I take this to the girl who's
53:49 upstairs cuz it's pigment. It's literally like she drew this [ __ ] Where was that? She's upstairs in this room. This is the girl she was trying to protect, right? Oh, it's suddenly on fire. Uh-oh.
54:20 Or was this? No, this is new. I think she's mad that we killed Gail. Is she Is she dead? Did she burn? Oh, she just doesn't she's just unbothered by the flames. Okay. Oh, give blood. >> My thanks, Ashen One. With this will I paint a world. Please tell me thy name.
54:48 I would name this painting after thee. >> Ooh, are we going to be mysterious? No, we share our name. Everything every every cool boss and enemy and NPC in the game has a name. >> My thanks. I will paint all >> besides a nameless king of that name
55:05 >> to be fair. >> It will be a cold, >> dark and very gentle place. >> Is that what I is that what I remind you of? >> It cold, dark, and gentle. >> Home. >> Nice. So, is she painting the world that
55:22 this world is? She's painting the new home for this painted world. >> I wonder when Uncle G intends his return. >> I hope the new painting will be to him a gentle home. >> Should we tell her that we killed Gail twice?
55:38 >> My thanks. >> That's so sad. >> One, I will assuredly finish the painting of a cold, dark, and very gentle place. One day it will make someone a goodly hope. >> Can you say goodly? Beautiful.
56:02 All right. Should we do it? Should I unleash you guys? I'm scared. It's been nice to not have to converse with you guys. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Okay. Okay. Okay. Let me Let me get it prepped here. YouTube, are you guys ready to be unleashed?

01:02:47 princess stuff was so frustrating. I'm sorry. Yeah, I don't know what was wrong with me. I must have streamed too much. Talk to the woman behind the door. It's kind of hard to see the game when I'm reading chat, too. This is over here. Oh, that was it. Go back. Okay. Sorry.

01:03:55 Um because there's a little bit of a delay. Sorry, bear with me. Bear with me. I want you to have a good experience as well. I think they're like a couple seconds behind because there's like a delay of some kind.
01:04:13 stream latency. Oh, it's on normal. I have to end the stream and then do it. Okay, maybe I don't bother with that right now. Okay, let's let's do the NPC so we don't tilt anybody. Nightbot's definitely wrong by the way in chat.
01:04:29 Chat has not been turned off. Bossar G4i, been loving the series. You've inspired me to make my own list of games I need to play. Started with Portal. Damn, I even played Portal. Uh, much love. Can't wait to watch the rest of your journey. Oh, I appreciate you, dude.

01:06:07 Oh, she's delaying it. Stop. Oh my god, I hate that move. I hate it. Okay, hold on. There's so many people doing so many nice things. Okay. Um, there's a message here. Good job on the full Dark Souls experience, man. Spend as spend as much time on DS3 cuz you only play once you play Elder
01:06:26 Ring, you won't want to go back except for nostalgia. Yeah, that's the hard thing about these games. Like I want to I want to keep experiencing them, but I also kind of want to like get to the next game, too. I don't know. It's hard. It's hard balance. $50 from 999 Spiker. Enjoyed
01:06:42 watching you play these uh for the first time. Got to relive Got to relive it a little. You missed the Fuma or the FUMA ultra greatsword thugs. And also guard breaks. Lol. Listen for the noise. Guard. I don't even know what that means. Turn chat back off. Yeah, no kidding,
01:07:02 right? I just think the reason you guys are just kind of blowing your load right now. I think that's what's happening. There's so many people that haven't been able to speak for like 40 hours of a game play uh playthrough and you guys are just kind of like sending everything
01:07:16 you got. So, I'm I'm assuming it'll get slower once we uh once we kind of settle in a bit here. >> I've searched. >> All right, let me kill this lady and I got to read some donations after. You guys are actually insane.
01:07:32 >> Lots of love. >> There's a lot of love. >> Descendant of entrusted friend to my >> cooking me though. >> At once I am the honor of the gods, the glory of fire, fear of the shall not go unpunished. >> She's cracked.

We got her. >> Would I ever forgive thy lonely kind? >> Crucifix of the mad king. Okay. All right. Can you guys tell me how did I do with like exploration in Dark Souls
01:08:50 II? Especially comparing to Dark Souls 1 and 2. I think the back half of the playthrough was a lot better. Do you guys agree? 90% you did well. Not bad. Not bad. It was okay. Cathedral was painful. Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
01:09:15 Very well. Seven out of 10. Armor question mark. Yeah. True. Okay. Another question. Can someone please please please tell me what is wrong with cleric? What am I doing wrong? Cleric is ass. Miracles are so bad.
01:09:46 Cleric is tricky. It's not you. [ __ ] cleric. Okay. Okay. So, it wasn't just me. Miracles are OP. Okay. Now, we're getting we're getting mixed things. Not enough levels, bro. I had 35 faith. Is that not enough? >> Upgrade the talisman. Not the best spells.
01:10:06 >> Touch the darkness. Take nourishes kind of suck. Okay, so there's some there's some mixed reviews. There's some mixed reviews. May thou find peace >> better in Elden Ring. Okay, well that's a little bit of spoiler, but thanks. Um, did you upgrade the Sacred Chime with
01:10:25 Titanite? No, I I had Saints Talon at plus five. Oh my god. Macaroni with the with the gifted 10 on Twitch. You need level 100 miracles. Yeah, 60 faith helps. 60 or don't bother. Holy [ __ ] Okay, so it isn't so crazy that I that I did a poor job with it.
01:10:50 Okay, 13 endurance is insanely low. Faith build went wrong because you need 50 faith and the right talisman for that. Okay, so my my thoughts were right. You can't you can't do sorcery kind of blind. There's too many like small details that you need to figure out.
01:11:12 Never let endurance so low, man. Sorry. Wow. Okay, there are so many so many people chatting. I really appreciate you guys, by the way, for showing up and uh doing all this. I I feel like I want to interact with you guys, but I also want to like play a little bit for the people who are just kind of here watching
01:11:29 gameplay. Uh but this is kind of like a unique thing. We've been 50 hours without you guys being able to talk, and a lot of you are donating, and I have to catch up on those, and I I feel bad. Uh, although the chat was muted, I could feel everyone reaction when you used an ember in Gang City area before honor
01:11:45 Londo. Yeah. Okay. I didn't didn't know I even used an ember back then. Uh, let's see. Julio Julio, although nope, that was the same message. Thank you, Macaroni, for being a member there. Hi from Brazil. I've been watching your journey through Elder Scrolls and Soul
01:12:01 series, and it's been so funny you trying to figure out how things work. Hope you try Bloodborne next. It's funny because I you said Ben so funny as like probably not a English speaker for first but in Swedish they say funny as well when things are fun. Just a small note so I understood what
01:12:18 you meant fully. JBD who's a member donated $10. You are f are you are by far the best YouTuber. I've watched YouTube for years. 43 and divorced. Only got my daughter every other weekend. You make the time between more tolerable. Elder ring next. It will change you. Aw, dude. Very nice. It's very nice.
01:12:39 I'm definitely not the best YouTuber, but I hope it's unique enough where you guys are having a good time. Okay, can you guys tell me what's up with this? Am I going to an NPC? Did I miss this guy? The guy who wanted to find the purging monument.
01:12:58 What am I missing with this guy? It is patches, right? Was I wrong? He's in the tomb. No, no. I already told him that I found the that I found the monument. Catacomb stairs. Oh, that's what those messages were. Okay. Back there,
01:13:30 there were some messages about a friend. So, it was patches, right? Was it not edu? I'm not sense. My wife is, but I'm learning it. I'm learning it. I'd say I'm like 30% 40% uh I don't know. It's hard to know with languages. All right. Spiral staircase for this NPC
01:13:52 that I This is one of my only NPC quests that I kind of did. I really wanted to figure out the ending of this. Surely he's down this way. Which Which one? There's like a million of these tombs. Somebody said that this was the most overpowered axe in the game.
01:14:17 Is that true? I didn't find Rosaria. Jokes's on you. I did. I did find her or him or whoever. It's not here. No. No. You guys are free to spoil like Dark Souls stuff. You just can't spoil like Elden Ring, Sakiro, those type of things. Any games, honestly. You've seen
01:14:39 the list. I I'm not a very uh I'm not I'm not a big gamer for RPGs and I I I have so many games left to play. Is he in here? No. Very overpowered axe. Okay, nice. Yes, I'm aware that Rosaria Rosaria lets me respspec. I just never had a I never had a tongue.
01:15:07 Is it this way? >> Oh, here he is. Here he is. Here he is. Here he is. Patches squat. >> Finally. >> I knew it. I called it. >> Now I know exactly who I was. And for that, I have a little thanks to be
01:15:25 given. Are we fighting? >> Go this way and peep past the broken staircase. >> No, I'm not falling for this. >> Awfully fine treasures just sitting there all alone. >> It'll change your life, >> dude. He's going to kick me off the
01:15:39 edge. That's his move. That's his signature move. >> To thank you for go this way. >> Just kick me off then. Whatever. Patches. Such a dick. He is helping. No way. Oh, wait. It actually helps.
01:15:59 >> Age, it seems, is tainted by the greed of men. >> So, we're friends after all this >> to one such as I devoid of all worldly wants. >> Okay. He still got the evil laugh. I don't know. Maybe it's just the way we are.
01:16:28 >> I'll stick you in my prayers. >> Fine dark soul to you. >> I mean, he's kind of a dick, but he's also kind of chilling. >> I mean, I've already went this way, right? So, like, he he showed me the way. That's it. I mean, he just wanted to kick me. Let's be honest. All right.
01:16:45 Patch is just a dick, but at least he's he helped once. What is ARS currency? And what is a thousand of them? Holy [ __ ] Okay, for your next L or playthrough, try to be embered human most of the time. You missed a lot of NPC in invasions on the games.
01:17:03 I didn't want to do it too often because I didn't want to get invaded too often from uh from other people cuz I'm streaming. I figured there was it's probably better to not do that. But yeah. Oh, and there's an item. Wait, wait, wait. There's an item there.
01:17:25 What'd he drop for me? Oh, that's not the right way. Where do I Wait, what am I doing wrong? Isn't it Wasn't it that way? Oh, it's this left. And then I can go around, I think. Yeah, I'm going to be polling you guys at the end of the stream. By the way, I want to
01:17:59 get an idea on what you all live streamers or people who are watching the live stream, I guess I should say. I want to know what you guys think about um the next game that I should play. How do I get over there? I know there's a lot of options. Uh,
01:18:29 why can't I remember how to get there? I can. Bro, I I'm going to pull you guys. You guys can say what you want. Uh, but I'll I'll pick and I'll I'll put the poll up so I'll know for sure what you guys think. There it is.
01:18:53 So that's lop he just took. So he killed somebody. He probably got his gear. This plate armor helm that covers the head cleanly without even slight gaps provides heavy defense. Quite fit to conceal a hollowed body and indeed one's very identity. Does that mean like paper
01:19:13 in Swedish? Lap like a lap of paper. I don't get it. Somebody said that. Okay. Um, couple more donations. Let's see. We got one here. Was there any on Twitch? Maybe. Maybe there wasn't. Maybe we're good. No, there was a couple of them. How do I look back?
01:19:34 There they are. Going. No, chat was correct. Yes, I'm seeing that you guys are I mean, this is a lot of information. Very too much information. So, I'm glad I was on uh chat off. And then gifting us up for the first time ever to give the latter hint only to watch you give away all three pale
01:19:52 tongues so you can't respect hurt my soul. Dude, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. If you dislike parrying, you won't like Bloodborne or Sakiro. It's basically only mechanic on those games. All right, I I'm going to just remind everybody because chat is obviously back on and there's a very big potential people to
01:20:12 even donate and give up some information about the next games. Obviously, pairing is a part of the game. It's not a big spoiler or anything, but I'll just respectfully ask people to try not to like give too much information. Even if you think it's not a spoiler, just try to not talk about
01:20:29 the future games too much. I'll ask Kylin. Obviously do what you want, but >> I am thous. >> I don't even know why I'm still leveling. I guess I could do game plus next time, but >> may thou peace.
01:20:49 >> Lap. Oh, it means patches in Swedish. Oh, I thought lap was just paper. So, it does mean patches, too. Okay, man. I need some mods. Yeah, I do need some mods. To be fair, that was on YouTube and it was a donation. So, I don't know if like you
01:21:06 can stop those. Um, here's what I'll ask for you guys because I have zero mods and I don't really know where to get them. If you guys are interested in like helping out and you're going to be like here for a lot of streams, could you um I guess leave a comment on my YouTube channel somewhere? I read those fairly
01:21:26 often and just let me know you're like maybe interested. I am in the works with like a Discord, which would be like a subscriber thing only. So, yeah, just for now, I guess leave a message and let me know if you're down to help out. What's my top five bosses? Good question. I don't know yet. I got
01:21:43 to I honestly have to think about that for a long time. Was there I wanted There was something else that I wanted to remember from earlier. I need your guys' help with um what was it though? What was I What was it that I was like desperate to know that I

01:22:24 guy you found was Yol. He's for a secret ending you have to do before Abyss Watchers. Yeah. Okay, that's a question. What happened to my sorcery guy? Where did Yeah. And and the miracle girl. So the miracle girl died or didn't die. You guys said Yol dies after Abyss Watchers. He just
01:22:48 dies. Okay. He was killed by a sister of Freed. Okay. Arena should be outside of Gundier's arena. IDEX or Oh, there's so many things. There's so many things. like out here where he was. I assume

01:23:52 The little creatures, how they nip and bite. >> Oh, yeah. She's blind. That's right. I totally forgot. I totally forgot. I forgot she's blind. I forgot. Oh, wait. So, does that mean she just teleported back? We're Okay, that's funny. Kao just said,

01:24:39 >> She was so hidden. Okay, so I have a lot of these tomes to give her. Oh, you've brought me a Braille divine tone. Now I can tell you tales of miracles forever and ever. So I sent her away when I did something
01:25:04 like why did she go away? Cuz the other guy Y you're saying Yol or whatever just disappeared. Did she just disappear? I gave her dark tones. She doesn't like that. Really? That's a crazy thing. Deep protection is evil. Well, it's

01:26:12 >> Oh, yeah. Where's the second Where's Where's the female sorcerer or uh pyromancer? Cuz I He doesn't want to read the women book. He's misogynist in prison. Carla, I don't know her name. Is that her? In Iril dungeon. Carla is in jail. She in jail. Prison. Prison. What did she do? Bottom of the dungeon.
01:26:35 Can I find her? It's her gear you've been wearing. So, did I find her? She seduces Gwyn. Oh, was that her? No, no, no. You can talk to her and free her. Okay. Dungeon. Um
01:27:06 like in the which part hall full of jailers? It's where the mimic in the narrow corridor is. Okay. So it's down in the in the the where uh where where I'm so confused where it was. The distant manor
01:27:33 near dragon pose statue. 10 jailers. Okay, so not this one. Um, where's the jail? Oh, this one. Here it is. It's that. Okay, that's what I was getting confused. I thought that was all part of the same warp.
01:28:05 Um, and then that part I can go this way, right? And then I jump off the uh the cage the cage door. RB, you gave me a you gave me a controller. Give me a controller input, dude. I'm on mouse and keyboard. Are these the jailers you're talking about down there?
01:28:35 Take the path past the dragon stuff. No, go to the elevator. I guess I can go. Okay. Pass the dragon. Okay. Well, I can I can maybe get there from here, right? I'm trying to remember where that elevator lift was. I'm dead. Okay. I thought I rolled. Oh, that those are the jailers that eat
01:29:06 my HP. Okay. All right. I thought that I thought they were a different mob. I didn't know they were actually called jailers. I'm doing this wrong. I just realized this isn't where I need to be. Yeah, I do have the key already. [ __ ] rats.
01:29:27 Okay, I know where the dragon peak gesture is. I I'll go there. I'll go there. And then Okay. Yeah, the room is there. I know where that is. Okay. Yeah, Nightbot, you need to chill in this whole YouTube thing. Vine has chat turned off to prevent spoilers. No, he doesn't.
01:29:41 It's funny cuz I think I turned off chat and I had Nightbot on or whatever for that and I didn't realize Nightbot could in chat either. No, this isn't the right room. This isn't the right room. Take a left. Wear armor, too.
01:30:05 The way I play stresses you out. What do you mean? What's so wrong about my gameplay, dude? Did I not kill all the bosses? Did I not beat the game? Did I not relink? Well, I didn't relink the fire. Let's go. Let's go talk to Oh, we're fatty. We're fat now.
01:30:50 Your boss fights are way above your expiration. Lol. Although you did get Arch Dragon Peak solo. Yeah. So, the reason why I did, by the way, is because I I was relooking at my footage. I uh I was seeing that I got the path of the dragon emote. What in the past the
01:31:08 Oiro sky and then I remember reading this item a million times and it said path of the warrior. Where is it? Somewhere in there. Yeah, the path of dragon worship. That's what the emote's called. And I uh I was like, "Okay, well, where did I get that before?" And I then there was a message
01:31:25 on the ground that said gesture. So, I figured I'd go back and check at least. And we got there. Okay, so she's in here somewhere. Did I go in this room? Oh, we're dead. Someone just tell me where it is so I don't have to go in with a giant rat.
01:31:58 I'm also much more distracted now with chat on than uh when I was playing without it. So, sorry about the random death or two. The cell is locked. I do have the keys, I think. Should be careful not get killed while talking to her. Okay, I'll try to clear it out then. Maybe
01:32:20 I missed grass grass crest shield, by the way. Hey buddy, you missed the grass crash shield moment cuz I haven't. I have the keys for this. I I looted the the jailer's like set of keys and everything.
01:32:58 Going backwards from the profane capital might be quicker. Uh, that's true. Maybe. Okay. Use, twig. What should I do? Which which room is she in? Which Which one of these doors? Go left. Heal. Thank you. farthest on the right and two people
01:33:23 said go left. Most people are saying left. All right, let me kill these things cuz these things are dangerous. When did you get here? Okay, there's a door in here. The door will still be locked. You don't need to kill
01:34:01 them. Wrong room. Oh, yeah. This is my mimic item that I never looted. Over here. Nope. It's on the right boss. I swear I like checked this before.
01:34:25 I'm going to get killed if I don't. Oh, they make you fat roll. I forgot. Let me kill these things first. Dude, I can totally see how a blind playthrough is completely ruined by chat. It's not your fault, but like like looking over for like answers on my
01:34:47 right screen is like kind of annoying. Like I'm actually like taken away from like my own like immersion into the game. Oh, I'm so glad I did not Oh, [ __ ] This is so bad. Okay, we're good. Oh, we got our iron. No.
01:35:22 I actually hate them. Just mute us again. Honestly, no, no, no. So, this is a very unstructured idea, by the way. This whole like streaming asking you guys questions about what's going on about the game. The next time we stream, it'll be which
01:35:51 is tomorrow. I think it it's going to be like we're going to have something to do and you guys will be able to to chat and everything, but I think for now this is just mostly like uh you know chat with you guys, see what's up, hear some reactions about the the
01:36:08 playthrough. We're going to watch some Yeah, we got to watch some lore videos. I guess that's going to be a good good stream or two or three. I don't know how many videos there are, but we probably have a lot to learn. I made some delicious waffles today.
01:36:27 Today was a good day. $50 donated on [ __ ] This guy loves waffles. Wait, you guys are donating so much by the like, you know, you could just donate like a dollar or something too. I think you can praise the breakfast. Okay. Well,
01:36:49 very generous of you all. Thank you. Seriously. All right, let me just clear out some stuff again so I don't just die for no good reason again. She's in the place. You just die. Okay, so she is in that room. I kind of went in there, I thought, because I I took
01:37:18 away the mob that was in there. Oh, I know you love waffles, bro, but tell me. Wait a second. I just made them waffles now. I get it. I see why you like waffles. That was fun. That feels good. That's such a fun weapon, man. Oh, you're dead as [ __ ] though. Boom.

01:38:16 This was a friendly all along. Damn, I should have released you first time I came through here. All right, she was in here. I thought I ran in here and saw nothing. It's very dark. Is there a illusory wall? The other side.
01:38:44 What? You guys said there was the wrong one, too. Same side, wrong cell. Oh, cuz those these don't connect. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I never went this way. Great point, dude. You just Okay. This waffle guy is insane. You just donated $50 more
01:39:10 dollars. Use this to get yourself some waffles from your favorite restaurant. The world isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It's good to find happiness in small things. Is this guy Is there a waffle NPC or something in my chat? This guy's talking like Bro, that's a $100 of waffles you could have
01:39:24 had. Holy [ __ ] Okay, an NPC. I never I I Okay, so to be fair, the reason why I didn't find this person is because at some place soon after this, I completely changed how I looked at the game. I don't even know what happened. I started
01:39:47 to look up. I started to look down. I looked left and right. I I just started to take it all in. I think it was High Law Castle, actually. And it's like my brain switched in a dark like pure Dark Souls mode. >> Oh, there you are. I wasn't there yet at this point.
01:40:03 >> You'd all but forgotten me. How sweet. >> I have her clothes on. Are you flattered? >> That a skinny little heretic can still turn heads. >> Is her gear good, by the way? I've been kind of rocking it.
01:40:19 >> Oh, you're not one of them, are you? Accept my apologies for mistaking you for one of those leeches. So, what business have you here? This is a land of monstrosities, and I am no exception. >> You're here to save me, but I'm guilty.
01:40:45 A wretched child of the abyss. Is that something you can forgive? >> So, she was a child of the abyss. So, she's related to what's her name? Uh, Nisandre. from Dark Souls 2. >> Oh, really? You are no ordinary man.
01:41:08 >> Very well. >> Besides, >> all humans are children of God. >> Imprisonment. >> Oh, >> I am Carla. >> That makes sense. >> And I accept your proposal.
01:41:21 >> Nice. Okay. So, she's the other pyromancer and she'll give me stuff. Okay. She dabbled in dark sorcery. That's why. I see. I see. Uh, okay. For those asking what game next, I'm going to pull the end of this stream and uh like have just your guys's
01:41:44 opinion, but it's going to be a poll at the end. Okay. Or maybe I could do like a poll and just have it up the whole time. I I'll set that up in a second and that way whoever comes in here can just vote and then uh I'll also make my decision based on like my own decision. I just

Like I didn't expect to see as many people tuning into these streams and like supporting me. Like these videos take a long long time to play and I don't know
01:46:52 why I didn't think about streaming them earlier. I think I was scared about getting spoilers but of course with chat off like it's not that big of a deal besides that one person who somehow spoiled something. Is he in here? Oh, that's just an item.

Don't tell anyone. Stretch my wife. Okay. I might love them more than No, no, no. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
01:50:25 I just I don't know. I'm a competitive gamer and like there's this competitive thing going on in in Dark Souls where like you get that itch cuz it's difficult like it actually takes like a lot of skill I think or at least perseverance and I think if
01:50:41 anything competitive games are just those things and then you in Dark Souls you get so much more. Yeah. Yeah. And this is before like Elden Ring and stuff which is like wasn't it rated like the best game of the year in 2022? Was it 21? And wasn't Balders's Gate? I have so many good
01:51:02 games to go. Okay. Um I have a donation I need to read. I think you missed Seag's great moments where if quest done correctly, he enters the Yor giant fight without you summoning and is a total badass. Yo, that would have been cool. Okay. Damn. Yeah, I missed out on some.

01:53:15 I don't have that high of IQ. You guys could have left a message on the ground and said frrampt. I guess you did say maybe lizard. Uh, okay. It all It's just rushing back to me now. It's rushing back to me. Yeah, I can. Okay, I definitely know why a lot of people told me to skip Dark
01:53:36 Souls 2 and go to three because I would clearly see a lot of these like callbacks to the first game. I I really like it. It's done in a way that's like not obvious. Well, you know, to me at least. What is this message from Rascality? This series is special and we love your
01:53:58 videos because you get it. Watching you embrace Dark Souls 2 when so many people give up was wonderful. Can't wait to see what's next. Bloodborne. Hell yeah. Appreciate you, dude. All right, where do I go next? Somebody said Yors Arena. Um, profane capital. Gh, it's hell to
01:54:18 get there. Oh, no. There's a there's a teleport. Did I beat the hidden champion, Gun Deer? I did. I did. That was a really fun fight. Nameless King Arena, too. Oh my god. How much did I miss? What do I do in here?
01:54:53 Go back to the other vampire. Chat was wrong. Chat was on other bonfire. Which one? jump through a window on top of the building to get to Seward. Huh? back to where I found the candlestick mage. Yes. Okay, I know where that is.
01:55:44 That guy kicked my ass four times in a row. Uh, is there a quicker way there? I think so. Do I already have a ranking by feel for which Dark Souls you like the most to least? Um, I do and it's going to be part of my next video. So, I don't want
01:56:17 to spoil that just for just to keep something like still unknown for the people who have been watching every stream and kind of saw the whole playth through. I do have a ranking and it uh I think it's pretty clear now that I played all three.
01:56:38 Okay, there's a window up here. We jump through to like that actual ring there. Like I have to go into this room. Yes. Okay. Was he right there? Did I just miss him? Oh, that's just a bright spot. He's sleeping in here. Aren't there enemies, though?
01:57:09 Oh, they're gone. He killed him. Oh, no. This is where the actual ring was. >> You are a saint. Once again, you are my valiant savior. I, Ziggver of Katarina, express my deepest gratitude. Take this, a token of my thanks. >> He's so generous.
01:57:30 >> Is this the waffle guy? >> Oo, nice. >> Ah, no, please go on ahead. I've my own road to take and a duty to fulfill. That is so. >> Ah, no, please. I've my old road to take and
01:57:54 nice. That's it. That's a secret quest line. Uh, so it Okay, so if I didn't kill Yor, he would have been in there. His armor will be in Yor bonfire, I think. Wow, I love this guy. Uh, there it is.
01:58:31 Look at the floor of this bonfire. No. So he died. Oh. Oh, that's what my friend was telling me. Okay. My friend did tell me that Yorm's friend, he told me that Yorm had a friend that he gave the
01:59:02 um the Storm Ruler to. And that friend was seward. Okay. Cuz does that mean we have two of them now? Damn. And now his duty is complete. He dies after the fight with Yorm. Oh.
01:59:32 Ashes are raised to defeat their respective Lord of Cinder. Sie promised to take Yor. Okay. Go and use the bridge as a ladder in the catacombs for the sake of it. Dude, that was so tilting learning that that was an actual ladder. Now the actual sorcerer guy is at
01:59:52 Crucifixion Woods ruins before Crystal Sage. That was a long time ago. Did you use a ladder from the bridge in the DLC? Sink or swim? I did. I did. I totally did. I did not die five times learning about it. There's a first try kind of thing. I
02:00:22 realized there's no way I can survive this fall. I'm going to take the ladder down that surely the bridge will turn into once it collapses. So, good question. Really good question. All right. Before the crystal sage. So, the real sorcerer is over here somewhere.
02:00:40 The two-way elevator. Yes, I did find that out. That was very satisfying. Didn't I? I went here. Did I? Oh, I never got that item. See, this is where my Dark Souls brain changed because I would not have been able to leave this be before after it. It made a switch at some point. It just hadn't happened this
02:01:02 early. There's There's no way I would have gone for that or missed that. How did I not Did I just not go through here? You missed it. You ran past it. It goes up. I thought you
02:01:32 I did go up the staircase before though. Right. Not that way. I'm going the wrong you guys. You guys are confusing. when you exit the room and go to the right. I swear reading chat is like not good.
02:02:07 Okay, I see what you mean. By the way, when you say it's to my right, I might have been already turned around six times. So then I'm going to get confused. Oh my god, there's a whole NPC up here and he loves to study. How? Why didn't I go back for this? I would have found it
02:02:27 cuz I want the item over here. Such an idiot, dude. Okay, I can see why you guys could get mad watching me play. I I see now. I get it. This is kind of infuriating. >> Well, this is unexpected. I don't often have visitors. What do you want?
02:02:50 This is my study that you've happened upon. >> It's beautiful. Really, >> if you haven't any business, I have reading to get back to. >> Ask to learn sorceries. >> How intriguing. >> Indeed. I am a sorcerer with plenty to
02:03:08 share. >> See, this is why nobody likes mages, by the way. They're all [ __ ] champion demands service without recompense. >> Clearly, you're not that sort of man. >> So, you will make me a promise >> that in exchange for my teaching, you will bring me knowledge in the form
02:03:27 of scrolls detailing sorcery's secrets. Well, can you assure me of this? >> Roll through his study. >> I should. >> You're no fool. I take it you understand the weight of a promise. >> I am Orbeck.
02:03:45 >> Orbeck of Vinheim, >> unckindled one. I shall teach you sorceries. We will learn together. It shall be like our very own school. [ __ ] you didn't even see what happened. When you come back, you're going to be mad. You are going to be so
02:04:06 mad. Okay, there's this guy Danny in chat in Twitch chat. Oh, he's he's shouting out all the next things. Fen key perimeter dark wraith drops pale tongue try sorcery. I appreciate it, dude. Appreciate the tips. Um, I am going to probably do like
02:04:28 replays of these games and I'm going to do like sorcery properly with you guys uh helping me because I clearly I clearly don't know like the prerequisites that you need to make it overpowered. Pickle pee and pump rum is many things. Bombs, seag brew, etc. Okay,
02:04:50 like a firebomb. Dried finger had to invade. Sorcery and miracles are very different things. Yeah, I think pyromancy and sorcery probably wouldn't would have been a lot better if I had gone those. I think they would have been a little bit more intuitive
02:05:10 cuz it feels like cleric for me at least was just didn't make sense. And when I looked at any pyromancy move or sorcery mode, I felt so jealous. Coyote, by the way, the pilgrim guy that gives you free levels, he Hen onre's quest and another NPC I don't think you can meet anymore unlock another end to
02:05:30 the game. Yeah. Uh my my buddy told me I I think he might have been proud about this, like very proud because he uh as soon as I beat the game, like that stream, we went on Discord later and he's like, "Dude, I need to tell you I got this ending where I married somebody." and he wanted to know if I
02:05:50 had that ending or something. And I was like, no. He's like, I'm going to spoil it cuz you you already beat the game or whatever. I'm like, fine, go ahead. You have that flame sword that's both a weapon and a pyromancy caster. It's really good. Wait, this this thing?
02:06:15 Maybe not that thing. I have a I have so many different Oh, this thing. No, I don't know. There's too many weapons. This is such a sick weapon. Oh, I need more endurance. It's literally a flame of boss weapon. Oh, that one. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:06:37 I think I have to I don't think I've unlocked that. I think I have the soul for it. Man, yeah, I missed a lot. I missed a lot. I know I missed a lot. Like, it was pretty obvious with all these NPCs and they all died or disappeared. Not taking Gun Deer's ring [ __ ] me
02:06:59 over hard. What was his ring again? I took his we What' I take from him? I took his giant weapon, I thought. or I don't remember I don't remember Gunier's weapon. My stamina bar being that small actually gave me anxiety. Okay. Well, here's here's my reasoning because
02:07:28 I know that endurance is important. I it was I got a lot of it in Dark Souls 2, but in Dark Souls II, it feels like two, three, four, five. I got six rolls before it runs out. I'm not rolling six times. The only thing that did get me at the end is like my very heavy weapons were
02:07:49 definitely making it harder. I'll say that. Like I wasn't able to get that many attacks in before I ran out of it. And yeah, I mean the regen is very fast. As soon as I got like the corny ring, like I didn't really think about it too much. My build was a mess. Usually you do
02:08:10 minimus strength decks for weapon of choice. Get 40 vit, 40 stamina, then go back to your damage ts. Oh [ __ ] I need more health, dude. Hey, I beat the game. So uh do I do I probably do. Uh okay, here. While we're just sitting here, let me try to put up these polls real quick. if you guys don't mind. I'm
02:08:31 curious to hear what you guys think um on what we should do. How do I do this? There's a poll on YouTube. Where is it? Predictions. No, it's not predictions. Maybe you can't do I guess I could do predictions and then Oh, it's probably in chat. It's probably in the actual chat.
02:09:03 community. No, no, no, no. Engage with your audience. There we go. Start a poll. Ask a question. What game should I play next? Yes or no? Can I Oh, okay. That's just prefilled. Um, let's do Bloodborne will be in there. How do you spell Bloodborne? You guys have said it so
02:09:25 many times with an E, right? at the end. Bloodborne, Elden Ring. Uh Twitch, I'll do one for you guys, too. Just give me give me a second. Um Sakira, I guess that's one of those games. I am doing a From Software game next. I'm just not sure which one fully. And then there's Demon Souls. And
02:09:44 is that it? Is there four left? I guess there's like there's other From Software games, right? There's a Isn't there another one or two? I'll just do Oh, you can only do four on YouTube. So, we'll do it this way. Okay, YouTube, you've got a poll. I think it's going to just be up. I hope
02:10:02 for a while. How long did I put it for? I think it's just going to be up. So, you guys can vote on that. Uh Twitch, let me put it up for you guys. Um that's over here. While we're while we're doing the poll, I want to get to a place where I really
02:10:26 like the music. One of my favorite uh musics of the game. Is it even music? Maybe it's just like a feel. Is it here? I think it's I think it's this shrine. Oh, no. Not here. Flameless shrine. I'm getting it on for
02:10:51 Twitch people. I'm getting the poll very soon. By the way, I have a lot of people to thank for Twitch Primes. Uh, Ill, thank you for the giving two subs. Fairman, thank you for the sub. Kaiso, appreciate you. Asune, kneecaps, Smokey, and Shotty, Shadyo, appreciate you guys. Um, no, it's not this one.
02:11:17 There's like three Firelink shrines, isn't there? Or maybe not. Ah, whatever. We're We're chilling. We're chilling in the dark. All right, Twitch pull. Let's do this. Um, chat settings. No, it's not there. Oh, chat or uh Twitch is not as easy.
02:12:01 Okay. How to start a poll on Twitch? Command. Oh, slashpoll in your chat or manage poll quick action in your creator dashboard. I don't even see that. slashpole. That's not intuitive at all. Stream manager and quick actions. Why do
02:12:40 I even see it? Oh, under the actual quick. Okay. Manage goals. No. Manage pole. Okay. What game should I play next? And we'll look at the results on the YouTube one. Let's do Bloodborne, Sakiro, Elden Ring,
02:13:02 or Demon Souls. And then I'll do other because this allows me. Duration I guess 10 minutes. It's the longest I can do. Okay. The YouTube people said so far really Bloodborne 43%, Elden Ring 33%, and then Sakiro 16, Demon Souls 9.
02:13:28 Okay. Curious to see what Twitch says. I'm also going to be pulling my YouTube channel to see um what you guys say, like the actual YouTube audience, cuz they matter, too. and you guys are from the YouTube world. So, what are your guys's thoughts on the Bloodborne um
02:13:52 on the Bloodborne like emulator instead of getting a PS4 or whatever? PS5. I'm down to do either. I just don't know if it's like one is preferred over the other or if it doesn't matter at all. I did emulator much better at 60 fps. Oh, that's console still at 30 FPS. Emulator works better if you can run it
02:14:15 60 fps. Little complicated to set up, but it can play 60. So, yeah, the FPS thing is big, huh? Okay, people. Okay, so the emulator is good. Okay, the original is better than the remake. I don't think there's a remake for
02:14:33 Bloodborne. Yeah, I would have to learn to play on controller as well. That's true. When did Bloodborne even come out? Uh, inebriate. I did go back to the painter. I gave her the the demon soul or the the heart of Gail or whatever.
02:15:03 This the soul thing. 2015. Oh, so that was before Dark Souls III. Then I can use keys on emulator. Yeah. Okay, I'll do I'll I'll do that then, I think. All right, I guess. What time is it? 2:30. Um, I I kind of wanted to wait a little bit
02:15:40 to watch like lore videos, but I don't know what else I can I mean, there's probably some other things I could do in the game, but I just got done playing basically three Dark Souls games in a row. Should I like watch like one lore video like per stream? Maybe that way it spreads it out a little bit too. Would
02:15:57 you guys like that? My question is though, would it be uh spoiler of some kind or are lore videos like kind of kept to their individual game? Cuz like the Dark Souls lore feels like it kind of goes Well, I guess Elder Ring is not Dark Souls, so maybe it I'll I'll be good.
02:16:32 I could watch a I could watch a Dark Souls 2 and three speedrun. I haven't seen those either. I completed the story. Okay, so I should be good. Okay. All right. So, you guys want to do that? That sounds like a a good thing. All right. Let me um let me try to
02:16:57 switch this all over to um Hang on. How do I do this? Let's do this. All right. So, let's close out of Dark Souls in a second here. You guys are saying V. Which which one should I watch? Like just any lor's video?
02:17:34 Dark Souls one. Just start from the beginning. Oh, okay. I think I've seen a video of this guy before. Like literally one video. How do I do this? I need to switch over the screen.
02:18:19 Dark Souls lore explained. I'm trying to search his channel. dark. And I also got to change the scenes here. Oh, there's a whole playlist >> after you finish a Souls game. >> Okay. Wait, is this a playlist? What is up with YouTube? Okay.
02:18:40 Um, how do I change this over? Bear with me. I probably can change and then take off game capture. Oh, perfect. Oh, that worked. That worked wonderfully. All right, let me close out of Dark Souls 3I because
02:19:00 we're done with that. Okay, is this what we want? The Dark Souls lore explained. This is it, right? Okay. All right. Damn, this is 27 minutes. Is this allowed in stream? Um, I think
02:19:32 so. I'm not really sure how that works on YouTube. I know on Twitch people do whatever the hell they want, don't they? Yeah, it should be f I mean I guess V could like Yeah. By the way, um I am trying to figure out before we start the video. I'm trying to get a like green screen
02:19:55 and maybe a a camera and all that cuz that's what everybody does. Like is it is it distracting to have a camera when you when you guys watch streams or would you prefer that? I assume most people would want the camera and like green screen or whatever like the actual not distracting for the
02:20:14 videos. I'm not going to have camera. I don't think I may I may add it like from stream if I have like a crazy reaction to something. But I mean I have like I'm just a dude, you know, like I'm bald and [ __ ] I'm 30 years old and I'm bald. Like if you want to see that actually you kind of there's
02:20:29 one video where I have like my face there. I prefer no camera. It's not needed at all. Up to me. Okay. So you guys are kind of like split. You started balding at 17. I was pretty much there too, dude. I did take the plunge like somewhat recently, but like last fall or something like just fully
02:20:56 just did it. My handsomeness would be distracting. You don't even know, bro. I'm You know who Gigachad is? Think about the opposite of him. And that's I'm not ugly. I'm I'm the most average. Okay, we got to start the video. Hang on. Patches. [ __ ] you, dude.
02:21:12 I'm not patches. All right, I'm starting the video. >> You have questions. Why am I on fire? What's the point of lock? >> Let me know if um the volume's good. >> Myself in this cave. Which ending is the right one? And of course, the age-old question, why do they call him Big Hat
02:21:29 Logan? First, let's start with the player character. >> Okay. Who is the chosen undead? >> Personally, a little lower. That guy said all you were a thie% from a store or Katarina. It doesn't matter. What's important is that you ended up in a cell at the right place and the right time.
02:21:46 >> Do a little louder. >> You head to Lordan in accordance with an old legend that speaks of a mission. Chosen undead hero. >> This legend is, by the way, most likely a deception by the gods. Probably designed to lure powerful heroes to Lord Ran, but we'll get to that later. Is
02:22:02 there a world outside Lordren? Lordren is just the land of the gods. And there is. >> It's crazy because you guys know all of this [ __ ] Obviously, you played the game a lot and you've watched a lot of videos. Like Lordren, that word itself, I don't even really know like what that
02:22:16 entails besides it was in the first game. And like what does that even what does that even like refer to like the actual areas of Lordren? Like I don't I don't even know honestly. It's just the name of the country. I mean, I figured, but it's like hard to
02:22:33 know. All right. >> The wider world of man with many more >> set to 1.25 speed. Bro, you got to get off those shorts. >> Countries therein. The fate of the world largely revolves around Lord Rand, though. So, we never go to these other
02:22:47 places. But the characters we do meet in Lord Ran often hail from these foreign countries, and you can tell that they've been designed to be accurate characterizations of their homelands. What you're seeing on screen are the results of an art competition to depict these foreign places. So check out that
02:23:04 video if you're interested and subscribe to see really soon. How did this world come to be? Great question. The world had no disparity. Everything was just rock. From the land to the trees to the dragons, it was homogeneous, static, without beginning or end. Then similar to the big bang, fire suddenly came to
02:23:24 exist and it disrupted this eternal monotony. Now I have a quick question. So is this all like for real the lore like canon confirmed or whatever or is this like kind of assumed? Like why is this it is the lore? like everything he's going to say is that way or just like certain things are and I'm
02:23:47 sure he'll like let us know. A bit of both. If it's assumed he'll say it. Okay. So, he's a professional. He's a professional here. We're watching a pro. It's from item descriptions and what NPC NPCs say. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. This I know this
02:24:07 part's real like like I I assume like everything to setting up the world is all real. I'm just he's going to talk about a lot of stuff and my impression was that Dark Souls has like a lot of ambiguity to it but okay that makes sense >> now there wasn't just existence but
02:24:20 there were states of existence heat and cold light and dark life and death the result was a rock universe gradually changing into the world as you see it in game including its overabundance of souls what is a soul so when fire came to be and permeated the universe so did souls thus The soul is the power of
02:24:42 disparity itself. They are the means by which the first flame changed the universe. And paradoxically, they are both the fuel and the byproduct of that fire. Similar to in Demon Souls, a soul gives you clarity, allowing you to think, but also life, allowing you to be. And just as there are all kinds of
02:25:01 life, there are all kinds of souls of various shapes, sizes, and magical affinities. Many bosses are these special beings with special souls. And the most powerful beings are the lords bearing lord souls. >> I'm I'm going to be one of those guys that like pauses the video probably
02:25:19 often, but I just want to say this dude is already the best. I love this [ __ ] >> Who are the lords and what is a lord soul? The four lords are the first kings. They were all attracted to the first flame, having only ever known darkness before coming upon it. Each one discovered this massive concentration of
02:25:39 disparities power near the flame which they then used to establish a kingdom under their rule. Thus, these massive souls are called lord souls. Of these four souls, K tells us that the pygmy found the dark soul. And it follows that the other lord souls all aligned with the other aspects of disparity. So, in
02:25:59 contrast, Gwyn found the light soul, Neato found the death soul, and the witch of Iselith found the life soul. These souls came to define them, and they would soon Hey, Kos. Yeah. Can someone explain the pygmy a bit more? You brought it up. I bet Bind already forgot about the Pygmy. You actually
02:26:18 just called my ass out immediately. Can we get a little bit of extra info on the pygmy for those who are aware? It's just a way of calling them humans. We have the pigment. No. Pygmy equals pigment. Ancestors of humanity.
02:26:41 Rewatch a DS1 intro. It has been a while. Pygmy equals poop. Oh, the protohumans. Okay. The fertive pygmy found the dark soul. He was sro uh I can't read. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. So easily forgotten. You're literally supposed to forget
02:27:11 about the pygmy. That's funny. Okay, sorry. I I'm a dumbass. Okay, I'll just say it. I'll just say it. I'm a dumbass. A lot of things I don't know. just about things I should know at this point. >> Ally together to challenge the >> I'm a competitive gamer, dude. I all I
02:27:31 know is shoot, shoot, aim, aim, run, run, don't die. >> Everlasting dragons. What is an everlasting dragon? So, they're a part of the original race of dragons that predate life itself. Much like there are wyvens and worms, there are also ancient dragons or arch dragons as later games
02:27:48 coin it. Their race is the progenitor to all other dragon subspecies. And these are subspecies that adapted really well to a new world and new environments. You still face some arch dragons in game, but these arch dragons never are the original generation of arch dragons that actually predate fire the
02:28:08 >> So this is another quick question. God, I'm so annoying for those who just want to watch the video. Um, so these dragons and lord souls, and I'm sure we'll get the answer, but like these souls are so powerful and strong that like they've technically died or be re they've been reincarnated or whatever you want to say
02:28:28 where like they're not the original soul of course, but they're fragments of it that kind of get split through either death or the fire or whatever. Is that kind of like on the right train of thought? The original dragons are not alive. They're stone. More of a force of
02:28:46 nature, but they have a part of the soul. Okay. I think that's what I gathered. And and in my uh in my measurements, if we went up against the original soul of the dragon, the boss, we would be [ __ ] There'd be no chance we'd be able to kill them essentially
02:29:05 because everything's kind of weakened in a weakened state. Split souls or weaker souls. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Sorry. I'm I'm going to learn in the vid. I know. I just >> dragons are commonly described as four minutes. >> Stone scales of undeath, granting them
02:29:26 immortality. However, when Gwyn learned that his bolts of lightning could peel apart those scales, the lords used their full might to hunt down the arch dragons to ny extinction, ushering in the age of fire. >> This was the era you find yourself in. It was
02:29:44 sparked when the lords defeated the arch dragons and even as far back as them finding their lord souls could be denoted as the dawn or beginning of the age of fire. So what follows is this period dominated by the lords. Much of this epoch is also denoted as the age of gods since the three lords residing in
02:30:03 Lordran with their fellow deities are on the rise or at their zenith during it. However, this golden age can only continue so long as fire at the source of the god's power remains strong. But eventually fire will fade and only darkness will remain. This quote is what K describes as the logic of the world.
02:30:24 And when that happens, the gods are supposed to be replaced and their age of fire is supposed to become an age of dark. In the original Dark Souls, you find yourself at this crossroad. The first flame is about to go out. Even now, its power is barely reaching the world of man, and what follows is a
02:30:42 proverbial night. And in this twilight era, the undead curse runs rampant. Okay, so what is the undead curse? Ever since the first flame began to wne, a dark ring of fire has manifested upon the bodies of certain humans, a sign of the dark burgeoning within them. This dark sign marks you as an ageless
02:31:03 immortal. Though your endless revival comes at the cost of your own souls and sanity until you eventually hollow. What caused the undead curse? This question is at the very heart of this series and the answer is really quite complex. You'll have a better time with this though if you're familiar with all three
02:31:22 games. So when I just want to say it's so cool that I beat these games and I am more than thrilled and excited to listen about like more about the games and get intimate with it. No video game in my entire life has been that way so far. The world first began. A creature called the Pygmy found the dark
02:31:47 soul. Who they were isn't known, nor is it really important. What is important is that they split the dark soul into fragments. And these fragments came to be known as humanity, which is a small black spirit found within every human. K refers to the fertive pygmy as your ancestor. Thus, we are descended from
02:32:07 one of the four lords. These games frequently question whether the dark force within humans is a positive or a negative thing. Your adventure through Ullesille in the Arttorius of the Abyss DLC is a great example of that. Here, the darkness within man has gone wild. It's endlessly consuming and corrupting
02:32:26 the land and the souls of people around it. And yet, there is dialogue here that's supposed to give you pause. >> I still think on that creature from the abyss that prayed upon me. My faculties were far from lucid, but I quite clearly sensed certain emotions, a wrenching nostalgia, a lost joy, an object of
02:32:48 obsession, and a sincere hope to reclaim it. Could these thoughts belong to the beast from the abyss? But if that were true, then perhaps it is no beast after all. >> This sink or swim, you're on the wrong website, dude. He just comments, "Damn, she's hot." The
02:33:08 >> same duality is seen in the descriptions of dark magic, which are spells that are often driven by powerful emotions. Positive things like love and calm, or negative things like hate and envy. But whether it's positive or negative, Gwyn's pantheon fears the dark. For one day, as we mentioned earlier, their age
02:33:27 of fire is going to end, and only dark will remain. This was the logic of the world until Gwyn committed the first sin and he shackled the darkness within man. This was a revelation we received in the Ring City DLC where the seal of fire around darkness on the dark sign was finally explicitly stated to be a
02:33:51 creation of the gods. So for some, like Manis in the first DLC, repression of their humanity causes it to writhe and go mad. However, this seal of fire was placed upon mankind so early in their existence that for most people, their shackles are all that they know. As a result, and this is really important,
02:34:12 humankind end up living their lives through souls that they hold completely separate from the humanity that's within them. You only have to look to the white souls of adventurers that you find in game as proof of that. Living like this is the lie that Aldia talked about in Dark Souls 2. All men trust fully the
02:34:32 illusion of life. But is this so wrong? A construction of a sad and yet a wall of worms and scandals. Yo, are you intentionally shattering the yolk, spoiling this wonderful fortune? >> But in retrospect, the most chilling dialogue Aldia has was this.
02:34:55 >> Once the Lord of Light vanished dark, and all that stemmed from humanity, and men assumed a fleeting form. We're led to believe that the dark sign cursed humanity with undeath. But Aldia's dialogue means this can't be true. Instead, Aldia says mankind's lives became fleeting when they were branded
02:35:21 with the dark side. So this means that they were originally immortals. And indeed, this is the state that you return to when you hollow. What is hollowing? Humanity once stood proud within every human. But when the cur >> I think I'm have to watch this video like on my own a few more times just to
02:35:39 really let it sink in. We're getting a lot of info here that I'm like kind of connecting dots to, but I feel like I'm also like still missing some like reference point somewhere. But it's good. I mean the the questions that they're he's answering are like Yeah, they're good.
02:36:01 But it's like I almost have to like rewatch like a lot of the cut scenes almost because I feel I was there for them and I saw them but it's like I didn't Yeah. I don't know. I I didn't register them at the time was put upon them. Humanity became bound, lost, and repressed. So during this age of fire,
02:36:18 humanity came to rely heavily on their white soul for their sense of self. And we can see this in the names of these souls. When fire fades, the seal of fire restraining the dark grows weaker. Thus, when fire fades, it follows that our dark soul starts to break free. Consuming the white soul that we've come
02:36:38 to believe is the self. And this process of losing the self is called dying or losing heart. It accelerates this process. So, an undead must maintain physical and mental fortitude in order to resist this process. However, >> I thought that's cra So, hollowing isn't just Okay, so he's saying hollowing
02:36:59 isn't just the f the losing your purpose. It could also be being obsessed with souls in a way that your own soul, I guess, transfers over to the collection of souls that you have. This is crazy. I I I thought Halloween was just purely
02:37:20 like you're just like, I'm out of here. I give up. Hollowing is actually going back to the original human form. It is kind of sort of so looks maxing is hollowing all boundary no interior. Yeah. Gale 101.
02:37:47 Okay. Okay. I'll keep watching. As you might remember, the hollows of Londor in Dark Souls III believe that their hollow states are really the most honest shape of man. This isn't an easy truth to face, especially since the Dark Soul has become this ravenous repressed thing. To stay sane as a hollow, one may need to
02:38:08 drain the life of others, and the hollows of Londor are universally reviled as a result of this. Ultimately, it just leaves you wondering whether this is really the best path for mankind or whether it's better to just accept the shackles of the gods or whether humanity's fate has been stolen by the
02:38:27 curse. Either way, how do we cure the undead curse? Well, curse is an actual affliction just like poison or toxin. You can experience its buildup in game. And what this curse does is it locks the dark soul away from the self. It's really about the barrier. It's about the separation and the dark sigil explains
02:38:47 this. It says that as humanity leaks out, the curse accumulates in exchange. Unfortunately, humans are helpless against curses and all we can do is redirect their influence. For example, when you use a purging stone, what you're doing is not actually curing the curse. you're actually just transferring
02:39:06 the curse to this stone and this stone was or is another person. In the original Dark Souls, we do something similar to this process called reverse hollowing. So, this is a process that requires you to have a humanity. And it's easy to assume that we're just absorbing the humanity and restoring our
02:39:26 humanity. But what's actually happening here is kind of the opposite. Yes, a humanity sprite is taken into the self, but it then acts as a sort of surrogate for the curse like a purging stone does. And remember, we offer this humanity up to the bonfire. This keeps our white regular soul safe and it prevents us
02:39:47 from going hollow. Further proof of this dynamic exists in Dark Souls 2. I actually understood this part. Like that's is something I figured out cuz I didn't even do reverse hollowing in Dark Souls 1, but in Dark Souls I think it helped clear it up for me. Like the humanity isn't us giving like ourselves
02:40:04 humanity. It's literally we're offering it up to I didn't realize maybe the curse gets attached to it as like a surrogate like you said, but um yeah. Okay. I could see some things. I I I have a little bit of a brain in there >> where using a human effigy is just like
02:40:21 transferring your curse to a human surrogate. And in Dark Souls II, we found the purging monument, which is this enormous vessel that's overflowing with offered curses. Why did the gods curse humanity? So, the logic of the world denotes that fire will fade and only dark will remain. Naturally, Gwyn
02:40:41 feared this and managed to enforce a fleeting form upon humanity. The fate of mankind became irreversibly linked to fire, and thus the logic of the world was changed forever. What is the fire linking? It's a ritual for preserving the first flame. With the decline of fire and the rise of the dark and
02:41:00 undeath, the gods were thrown into disarray, and the lord's peaceful relations ultimately collapsed. Before things broke down, however, they concocted a plan to revive the first flame with a powerful soul cultivated through firekeepers and undead bonfires. This soul would link itself to the fire,
02:41:20 and the fire would inherit a new fuel. So, Gwyn was the first to link the fire, and many others have taken up that role since then. What is a bonfire? It's your safe haven. Undead bonfires are fueled by the bones of your own kind, and they're connected to the first flame as a part of a network through coiled
02:41:40 swords. The heat that their flames produce heal our injuries and can be collected in a liquid form called Estus. As for warping, light is tied to time in this series. So, you can reason that a bonfire's light allows you to warp across time and space to other bonfires in the network. Bonfires and their
02:42:01 firekeepers promote undead reliance upon fire and they promote fire's reliance upon undead. Thus, the gods are almost certainly behind their creation. As for who went out and placed them in the world, it's hard to say, but it seems like they can be placed anywhere where there are undead bones since we create
02:42:20 one ourselves in filing shrine and even in early versions of the game, you were supposed to be able to place them yourself. However, it's important to remember that bonfires are, >> huh, >> that would have sucked if you could place your own bonfires. Saving in Dark
02:42:34 Souls, couldn't even imagine. >> Primarily a checkpoint mechanic, and gameplay can't always be explained away by law. For example, you might think that all undead respawn at the bonfire just like you do, but they don't. According to the crest fallen merchant, what actually happens is that undead
02:42:53 will lay dead for a while and then later rise where they fell. What is a firekeeper? They're a woman who acts as the living incarnation of a bonfire in order to preserve its flame. So long as the firekeeper lives, so too does her corresponding bonfire and vice versa. These women are thus vessels for the
02:43:14 countless humanity that is offered to the bonfire, which means that they receive the dark spirits along with the effects of the curse in the transfer. The humanity wriggles beneath their skin, nipping at body and soul, and this causes great pain and horrific scarring, though not at extremities like the head
02:43:32 or the hands. Firekeepers bear this suffering so that you can benefit from the bonfire. And it's through them and by extension the bonfires that you can strengthen your soul with whatever traits you desire. So be sure to always thank your [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] dude. He gets it. He gets it. That [ __ ] happened to me
02:43:53 three times in my Dark Souls 1 playthrough. I'm not alone, dude. I swear that wasn't on purpose in my first playthrough. Oh, I didn't do it in my Dark Souls 3 playthrough to be fair. body. I I got better, but I'm playing a mouse keyboard, so I don't know. Damn.
02:44:12 What is >> Yeah, I feel I feel I feel better now. >> Is wrong with you? What is a god? Well, they're really whatever humans believe a deity to be. In most cases, the gods refers to members of Gwyn's pantheon since they're the most widely woripped. >> Is that guy still here from earlier?
02:44:33 Here you go, dude. I'll pause here for a second for you. in the world of Mayo. But even those cast out like Gwyn's firstborn are still called a war god simply because some people still worship them as such. However, just being woripped doesn't mean that you have power. An example of
02:44:49 this is Ferris, who humans retroactively deified as the goddess of the hunt, Eveana, in Dark Souls II. She was just a heroic bowwoman, but her story got twisted over the years until she became a god. People get kind of hung up on the god term because they're trying to define the race of beings that carry
02:45:09 power in the series. For most of these characters, I quite like the term medial, which is a term proposed by Loki. What are medials? Well, many of the gods followers and descendants aren't human gods or giants. So, we kind of have to make up a term for these beings. Medials is good in terms of
02:45:27 size. They're often between humans and giants. And these are beings like the daughters of Iselith or Priscilla and so on. What are the dead? The dead are corpses that decay without the power of life sustaining them. However, some like skeletons are often a product of necromancy. And there's evidence that
02:45:46 others, like the ghosts of New Londo, become warped by the strong lingering emotions of the deceased. What is a demon? Anything that can be loosely classified as a monster is called a demon. really. In most cases though, demons refers to chaos demons who were born of the flame of chaos. But there
02:46:06 are also titanite demons and Dark Souls II introduces covetous and smelter demons as well as a demon of song. It's a common argument that a demon in Dark Souls is a chimeic creature bearing the traits of multiple animals. But this isn't a given. What could be called crow demons are actually called crowmen or
02:46:26 corvians. There are also snake men, maggot men, and lion men, all of whom are never called demons. Like with gods, the term is somewhat arbitrary. Basically, a demon is whatever humans would consider to be a monster. What is chaos? Chaos. >> I'm really sorry. I have to use the
02:46:45 bathroom. I I Yeah, I just I'm 30. I don't know. I got to piss. Be right back. Apologies. Okay, sorry about that. All right, let's continue. Now that he is gone, chat, everyone type bald when he returns. I just saw your message. You're banned.
02:48:49 >> Is the nature of fire and life. Life is rooted in the soul. The soul is a product of fire's disparity. Therefore, life like disparity is chaotic. The witch of Iselith found the lord soul that represents this and she tried creating her own fire of life to match that of the first flame. Unfortunately,
02:49:10 this sparked a flame of chaos which creates and transforms new, often grotesque forms of life. These became known as the chaos demons, and they threatened Gwyn's rule. So, you'll notice that they're stamped out at every turn in all chapters of this series. The Witch of Iselith's yearning for flame
02:49:30 became the basis for pyromancy, and pyromancy is one of her strongest surviving legacies. What is pyromancy? Pyromancy is a physical form of magic. Pyromancers carry along with them a piece of flame that's passed down from teacher to student, stretching all the way back to the witch and her daughters
02:49:51 deriving the art from chaos and sharing that with the humans. Pyromancers then use that flame to conjure their spells. And despite the name, pyromancy isn't actually limited to casting fire, and it can actually conjure all kinds of elements like iron or poison. But these are rarer arts since pyromancy is a
02:50:11 religion that rever flame just so you can manifest pyromancies like miracles with your faith or actually even learn to perform them like sorceries with your intelligence. What is sorcery? It's a mental form of magic. Sorcerers study the natural. >> Hey, I just found him at the game. I
02:50:30 wouldn't have known who he was if I didn't look at him today. I I literally feel like I'm in like Dark Souls 101, though. This is crazy. I'll have to watch this one again. It's getting nine minutes left. >> Laws of the world to actually comprehend what they are and how they function.
02:50:48 They then use this knowledge to manipulate their power and formulate the process as spells which we call sorcery. They're basically magic scientists and academics and there are sorceries from anything from souls to light to the dark of the abyss. What are miracles? A spiritual form of magic. They cast
02:51:09 miracles by reciting legendary stories which either feature the spell in question or embody what the miracle manifests. Most miracles are thereby based on the power of the Anorondo gods. But there are also dark miracles and hexes that achieve similar results. Your faith in the story's truth makes it a
02:51:31 reality. What is the abyss? It's the power of the dark. And whether that's a pitch black void like the realm of the four kings, a viscous dark swamp like in the ringed city, or a malformed pus like the creatures of Lothric, the abyss can manifest from any humanity, and it produces new life or twists old life
02:51:52 into new forms. The abyss is commonly unstable, and like with manisles, it can go wild, devouring and corrupting the souls of every other form of life. But it was not always this way. The gods placed a curse upon the abyss. And while humans have largely lost connection with it, there are multiple sources that
02:52:12 suggest the abyss can offer great comfort to humankind. However, it appears that path was lost when the abyss was banished and now it simply hungers. What is black flame? Black Flame is the impenetrable fire of humanity, inspired by the power of our quote unquote untouchable soul in kind
02:52:33 of a similar way to how pyromancy is inspired by Iselith's soul. What is the deep? As the age of dark continues to be delayed, some dark stagnates into the deep. And here the weight of humanity sinks into a horrific abyss, like a deep sea where no light reaches. Many worship the concept of the deep as these dregs
02:52:55 are seen as the bedrock of the world and you can almost view the deep as a sort of abyssal religion. Its leader Aldridge concluded that if the world continued to darken then there would eventually be an age of the deep sea. Why is time convoluted? With the first flame waning, the power of light also fades. And since
02:53:17 light is related to time, the flow of time has stagnated in a land where the flame is located. Due to this instability, time spaces known as other worlds can randomly intersect here. And this allows you to briefly meet people from long before your timeline. And with the help of magic, you can cross the
02:53:36 gaps between worlds, usually as spirits. Why is everything in the world hostile to me? After watching this video, you'll enjoy my video talking about all the bosses of Dark Souls II if you've played it. I'll just list a bunch of reasons on screen though because every enemy does have a reason for attacking you after
02:53:54 all. Except Priscilla. I mean, why did you hurt her? That's actually really [ __ ] up. What is the painted world? The first painting we're introduced to is the painted world of Aryamus, which is hung in an Orlando. It was a place to hide all the things that the gods feared. And so it's filled with many
02:54:13 references to sin and the occult. In the Ashes of Arendelle DLC, we learn that the paintings are a mirror of the outside world and so are burned and reborn to mimic the linking of the fire. Just so there are those on the inside who would prefer to let the painting rot. What is the meaning of each ending?
02:54:33 So, in Dark Souls, you're presented with two choices after you defeat the Lord of Cinder. Either you inherit the fire and join the line of succession, preserving the current world order, or you leave the fire to die without fuel, allowing the universe to reach its natural conclusion. By becoming a Lord of
02:54:51 Cinder, you sacrifice yourself to restore the light. By becoming a dark lord, you choose to lead mankind into a new dark age with an uncertain future. In Dark Souls II, fire still lame. >> We're called the Dark Lord when we abandon the fire. Dude, that's cool. I didn't know I had that title. Well, I
02:55:12 don't have it in uh Dark Souls 1. I kind of lit it. Damn, a dark lord. [ __ ] Voldemort out here. >> While the curse still flourishes, you assume a throne inside of a kiln, which takes you to the first flame and the Lord of Cinder, where you'll make one of these two choices. Turns out neither of
02:55:28 them really matter, for the world will continue to eb and flow between light and dark. So maybe you should heed a certain scholar's proposition instead. A new ending here is to neither rekindle nor squelch the first flame. Just simply embrace this twilight era and see what it has in store. As if to follow the
02:55:51 consequences of this choice, Dark Souls III shows you a world where the future lords of Cinder refuse to either save the age of fire or usher in an age of dark. And in the tumult that followed, you are again presented with a choice. Do you continue to link the fire despite the ritual not being as impactful as
02:56:11 before? Do you use the dark of the curse to subsume the flame and lead the undead into a new age as their Lord of Hollows? Do you let your firekeeper snuff out the fire and herald in the darkness only to learn that embers survive amongst the countless lords who linked the flame before you? Or do you betray her and
02:56:31 take what? >> What? Holy [ __ ] I didn't get that ending. You step on her head. >> Remains all for yourself. >> You are unckindled ash after all. What is unckindled ash? These are undead who previously tried and failed to link the fire. You weren't strong enough to bear
02:56:48 the flame that you inherited, but you weren't weak enough to stay reduced to ash either. And so you became ash, devoid of flame, but still requiring embers as well as souls to heat your cold, cursed frame. Hence, Unckindled are destined to seek the fire that remains in the world. How does the
02:57:09 series end? Well, it ends with ash, literally. As the world burns out again and again, Ash itself arises. This is a new being, a new species really, that's composed of a thousand failures who had tried to link the fire over the years. But Ash doesn't really belong in this world. And honestly, they have more in
02:57:31 common with the beings of the painted world instead, where all of Fire's discarded things reside. So they fight for a new purpose to reunite the dark soul and paint a new world with it so that we can finally escape this ashen wasteland that Gwyn has created. So a slave knight called Gail, hollowed
02:57:52 beyond belief, sacrifices himself for a new world, and the painter paints a world called Ash, a cold, dark, and very gentle place. This video is too broad. I want specifics. Join the club. That's what we just did. That's what we just did. He's saying goodbye. A goodly home indeed. Damn. Okay.
02:58:18 Yeah, I gotta I feel like I gotta We got to keep watching these. Um Damn. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that I I just don't know, man. He has more videos. So, here's what we're going to do. I think at the start or end of each stream, I don't know which one yet, I think we should
02:58:37 probably watch like a video of his maybe to like kind of get a better idea of how the Dark Souls worlds are and then um so I guess the other thing is I'm not going to start the blind playthrough right away mostly because I want to focus on the Dark Souls 3 like game. I
02:59:01 don't want to kind of lose my thoughts on how it went. I really want to focus on the edit, the script, and all that. So, we're not going to do a new game. We're just going to kind of play Dark Souls 1, 2, and 3. Different challenge runs, maybe different playthroughs. Um, we'll watch some lore videos. We'll be
02:59:18 kind of like chilling for a bit. You chat will be on, you guys can hang out, and then, you know, I'm going to be working on the video on the side. And then when the video is getting either very close to the end or is just released, I will begin the next blind playthrough. It'll be Age of Dark.
02:59:34 There'll be no chat on and we'll kind of restart, you know, from from whatever the game is. I don't know yet. Uh, does that seem like a cool like cycle of events? I don't know how long it's going to take to edit the video. Maybe like it could be upwards to a month. I really don't know. It's it
02:59:55 kind of depends on how it goes and how much work I get done takes like 15 to 20,000 words depending on everything. Um, but yeah, today turning off chat and turning it on at the end I realized I will never play a game blind with chat on. No offense to everybody,
03:00:17 but you guys are crazy. You guys are insane. Wow, there's a lot of people trying to give some and it's all help, right? Beat sister freed day without Gail's help. $2 donation from Coyote. I didn't even see that me. I don't even know what that message means. It's a different language.
03:00:34 Um, yeah, the back seating. It's Yeah, exactly. But I mean, I get it. It's It's like I miss a lot of stuff and you guys want us to want me to not miss anything, but I think it's unique and and cool uh to do it blind, whatever game it is. And you know, in the future when the Dark Souls or whatever, all the From Software
03:00:52 games are done, I'm gonna be playing Balders's Gate and Red Dead Redemption and all these games also blind. So, the channel's really not going anywhere. It there's a billion games out there that I haven't played um that I need to play. So, uh welcome. Thank you guys for like watching and and and tuning and
03:01:12 supporting. We really have a long life ahead of us for this whole channel. And um I hope it's going to be fun and you guys kind of get get to go along the ride with me. And if for some reason From Software comes out with a new game or like a there's just like a crazy good game that comes out that for some reason
03:01:29 you guys want to see me stream, we can do that too, you know? Like there's one of those games that like it's a mustplay. I'm I'm not going to catch up yet, but I might be able to take a break from whatever I'm doing and play that new game kind of along with everybody. I don't know. I think it's better to play
03:01:44 old games because you guys don't get any spoilers and things like that. But the next FromSoft game comes out for Switch 2. I'm going to be editing Elden Ring's video for a whole year. Yeah, I know. Um, okay. Before I So, by the way, I am gonna probably get off a little bit
03:02:06 early here just because I'm gonna go hang out with the wife with the kid and go to the park. And I figured because we finished the game, it might be like a good time to just go relax before we start tomorrow. I don't really have a plan right now anyways for what to do. I'll come in tomorrow with a better plan
03:02:19 for stream. Um, with that being said, could you guys um message on YouTube with a comment on any video? It doesn't matter. If you would like to mod for one of the chats for some reason you want to do that. Um or if you would like to um [ __ ] what was the other thing I was going to ask?
03:02:42 Um I don't know. I just just leave a message if there's anything about stream that you noticed was wrong or any like I don't know like emotes or whatever. Just some small tips for streams for actually having chat on. We need mods like number one and then maybe emotes or something. I'm not sure how that works
03:03:00 on YouTube or Twitch. uh if you know an artist or something. I don't know. I thought I had seven TV, but I guess I don't. Um but either way, I think Bloodborne won for the poll. That doesn't mean I'm gonna play Bloodborne. I'm just I I just want to get like a heat check from
03:03:15 everybody. And I'm going to put a post up on YouTube as well. But I uh yeah, thank you all for I It was kind of like an explosion of support as I turned off chat or on chat. I didn't expect that to happen. It was it was kind of insane. Uh it was a lot. It was just so much love from you guys. So,
03:03:36 I can't thank you enough. I will see you tomorrow. I guess I'll have a better plan for what we're going to do. The stream title will finally say something than other than a blind playthrough of Dark Souls 3. You know the you know the rule. Once we finish stream, you guys got to join me
03:03:52 on that walk. Just get outside for a minute or two. I know it got a little bit cold. And uh Sure. All right. I'll talk to you guys.
