00:48 I I'm always if whoever who whoever is already in here, I'm always like super concerned that the stream didn't start right. I clicked all the buttons I think correctly. You never know. Um, it looks to be I think everything is working. I'll get more confidence once I start

01:11 streaming more. Okay. Actually, uh, BRB real quick. I think I have a BRB. Lol. Okay. One sec. One sec. Baby's doing something. Okay, I'm back. Sorry about the uh delayed start there. I start streaming and then I have to be right back. Just uh you know, parent

03:05 things, eight-month old stuff. Uh welcome, welcome to the stream. Welcome back Monday. I missed you guys. I feel like I I wanted to stream yesterday, but I kind of need to like establish a day off. And Sunday's probably a good day, you know,

03:21 spend some time with family. It's a nice day out in North Carolina. Kind of felt like summer, actually. Um, let's see. I think we're just going to continue where we left off, which is uh killing hopefully killing the Abyss Watchers. If

03:40 we spend all stream today on the Abyss Watchers, then I'm going to feel kind of sad, but surely we got the skill now. We had a little bit of a day off, you know, reset the mind and we had a little revelation towards the end of the stream um last time.

04:04 A revelation that pretty much almost had a kill once I once I change things. >> What am I doing? I don't even >> have a pleasant journey. I just want to I I I think this miracle where you don't die is not that good. I thought it was going to like put you to

04:29 full health, but it just literally essentially gives you a free attack. Um where like if you would die, you don't. But nothing like you lose you lose your health still essentially. So, let's uh remove and let's put back the gradual

04:49 heal thing and lightning spear. Okay, welcome back everyone. Welcome back. Did you miss me? You guys miss me? Okay, so that Okay, so by the way, just a heads up for the for the Twitch people. Um, it looks like ads are on for now. Um, it says ads starting soon. How

05:27 do I change that? I mean, obviously ads are good to like make a little bit of money off the stream, but I got to find a way to make it so it's not like disrupting anything. it. Now it says ads in progress. Did people just get ads? I guess the subs wouldn't know.

05:46 Oh, dude. I I might have to just disable these, honestly. Or make them less. I got to figure out how to do that cuz I I got I got affiliate um I think after last stream, which I it's a Twitch thing where it it like makes you a partner of some kind. Wait, my hut is

06:12 I'll have to mess with it. I'll have to mess with it. I'm very curious to know what is going to be after the Abyss Watchers. I really want to kill the Abyss Watchers, dude. I need to know. Let's just go in here cold, get a little warmed up, and uh yeah, go from there.

06:36 Keep this set up. Is my HUD still off? Oh, it's on auto. So, it goes off every once in a while. I mean, I wasn't ready to go into the boss right away, but here we are. All right, I'm in locked in mode today. I promise. It's really annoying that the HUD is

07:34 turned off. I might have to I might have to turn that back on. Is it like bugged? What is this? How weird. I also Whatever. This is just a warm-up essentially. We need to get like our

08:30 brains used to the high high speed of Dark Souls 3 again. Okay. Oh, here we go again. Solaris, thanks for the prime. Toui, thanks for the prime and game. Okay, auto HUD is a terrible in-game option. Never turn that on. That was I felt naked.

09:07 Okay, I just want to make sure I have everything from last time that I probably should use. Maximum HP. We get more HP with essing miracles. That's probably fine. I don't think I have a Yeah. Okay. All right. Abyss Watchers die today. I

09:28 promise. I'm super refreshed from the little day off. I didn't play any games yesterday. And I think we're ready to take them down hopefully in the first half hour here. No promises, but we're feeling good. Feeling locked in. I had some good lunch. Had a nice burger. Some cottage

09:47 cheese. Any cottage cheese lovers out there? Good food if you want that protein. >> [ __ ] I really thought about my revelation that I had last last time. the whole dodging like into the enemy more kind of dodging around the enemy instead

10:23 of away from it constantly. Feel like that's going to help me get a little bit more successful attacks unless I need to like reset or whatever, you know. I feel like I might miss this boss once I'm done with it, which might be weird to say cuz right

11:04 now I'm like frustrated that I can't get past it. But it's one of those bosses where like compared to that cursed greatwood tree, that boss that had the weird egg sack things, like this is like a fun boss, you know? Okay, phase two.

11:25 Get a couple dodges and we're good. Welcome all the YouTube people who are watching stream, all the Twitch people who are watching stream. I wonder what the like how many of you are going to tune in on a Monday at middle of the day. I assume most of you are at work, maybe working from home or

11:49 maybe working at your job and you turn the stream on for some reason. Make sure you answer that email at least. I'm not going to say you shouldn't be here, but come here, man. Let's do this. Let's get some heals. Okay. Okay. I honestly don't know if like you can

12:33 get a good heal during the second phase. I probably have to like seriously bait out a uh like a long range attack and then only then cuz I think I pretty much died there cuz I tried to eat during He did a slam move but he he still recovered quick enough to to attack.

13:06 Trying to think what I was doing in 2016 for gaming cuz that's when this game came out. There was a chance I I probably saw that it did come out. Obviously, I didn't play it, but what was I doing instead? What was the game? 2016. I had three years out of high school.

13:29 Uh, I really don't know. Oh. Oh, Rocket League came out in 2015. A lot of Rocket League. That was a competitive game of choice then. Chandex and House, thank you for the subs. You're tuning in on tuning in on a

14:05 good day cuz we are going to take out the Abyss Watchers today. I can pretty much guarantee it. I'm so excited about a lore run after I finish these games. Oh [ __ ] Like I want to play the game knowing all the lore. Here we go. Now we can one v one.

15:02 Heat up phase two again. Successfully getting to phase two again. It's a good sign. Thank you easy one for the the sub as well. All right. Come on. So, okay. You have pretty much no room for error on that spiral swing attack. I pretty

15:45 like I dodged the beginning of the animation, but I think the end of it got me like after I finish my roll. The problem is I'm really struggling to find the attack pattern here. Like if you stand very close to him, he does like his his like two swinging arm attack that just like grabs you but like

16:04 doesn't really do the flame damage either. And if you If you dodge that, you're fine to attack. But he also can start a chain of attacks with that, too. I think it's just a matter of time. I think for me on this fight, for whatever reason, he's got my number and I just

16:20 got to like spend time. We already got a few hours from last stream. It's like that attack there was felt like extra. Maybe I shouldn't stand too close cuz I think that opens up like this this swipe

16:54 attack that I can't really track. Maybe that's kind of a trick too. Like that's obviously a lot easier to dodge. Oh, he's back. like that. That attack right there. Okay, here come the enemies. Oh, he went for me instead of him.

18:12 Okay. Okay. More attempts like this and we'll get him down. It's just about getting to phase two. I really want to see what the rest of the game is like. I don't want to be stuck here too long. Come on, bind. Come on, brother. Come on,

18:27 brother. I'm going to keep a little bit of like this medium distance from him and bait out these attacks that are like a little bit more predictable. I think kind of like this distance. Still got me though. And then he dodges so quick. That attack right there is big.

18:59 71 damage is not a lot though. Still got a piece of me. I think the distance thing is a good move. Got a piece of me still. as gap closers are definitely much easier to deal with. Oh, I dodged too early. All right, there

19:57 we go. That was that we were just dancing. Let's go. Let's go. Within 30 minutes, I told everybody you were here. You guys were here. Let's go. Cinders of a lord and soul of the blood of the wolf.

21:02 as it as it is right now for the people who are watching the stream on Twitch or YouTube, you're watching an absolute Dark Souls II professional who just defeated the Abyss Watchers within 20 minutes. Context doesn't matter here. The stream just started. I just killed him. For

21:19 those who are just tuning in today, they don't know any better. And you guys in chat can't say 20 minutes to beat the Abyss Watchers. One of the easiest bosses in the game. Okay. Holy [ __ ] By the way, this game gets your blood pumping.

21:39 Like I could feel my heart going a little bit. And I don't know if it's so much like the fear of the boss. Like it I think it honestly is like the amount of focus required. And as a as a competitive gamer, like I have it almost feels like my breath is tied to like the moments in the game,

21:59 like my breathing pattern. So, like in a normal competitive game, you have like breaks to breathe, but like during like a high like actions per minute sequence, I feel like my breathing historically in competitive games almost like becomes in tune with the game. And with a fight this long, like I'm breathing as I'm

22:16 rolling, like incorrectly, you know, like not not breathing how I should breathe. Uh, but either way, let's see what this is about. What do we get? We got a sinners of a lord. So this is this is this is going to make one of the statues at Firelink Shrine be populated

22:40 by one of the lords, right? If the lords will not return to their thrones themselves, let them return as cinders. Okay. The watchers of the abyss swore upon their shared wolf's blood, which also served as their mandate as lords. So they're wolves. I guess that makes so much more sense

23:03 with their hands than the claws. I I didn't really notice they were claws before. I had no time to. Dude, I got to go make I got to go see what this weapon's about. Oh, hang on. What's that? Time for soup. Praise the king. Oh, praise the rear.

23:38 Death ahead. Nah. I it might be a little too early to say this and it also might sound a little bit ironic or cheap, but in Dark Souls I guess what I'm what I mean is I am now

24:06 comparing Dark Souls II to Dark Souls 2. I'm trying not to, but it is I think that's natural in Dark Souls 1. Of course, in Dark Souls II when you killed one of the great lords or what are they called? the the large souls or whatever the four to get to Dangleic Castle. The game like kind of ended essentially for

24:25 a moment. Like this would have been it in Dark Souls II. You'd have to take the primal bonfire back to Medula and find another path. In Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls II, you beat the boss and then boom, you continue on right past the boss room. It's a small thing, but for me, I feel

24:42 like I enjoy the Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls II better in that way. catacombs. Okay, what do we got here? Does every Dark Souls game have a catacomb, by the way? Oh [ __ ] it looks so cool. Is this the pit? No, that wouldn't make

25:19 sense. I was thinking that was the thing we saw by like the the road of sacrifices. Was that it? Was this the pit I saw at the road of sacrifices? I wonder. Oh no. Are they going to Are they just going to respawn? It looks like he's going to respawn.

25:46 Oh my god. He respawns and just comes out swinging. Holy [ __ ] He didn't have any animation of like collecting his bones together. He just came out. I was like, I gota I was fighting you before. Caris Rogue

26:03 lacerating effect. I might have to use these more often cuz it seems like you get a lot more of them in this game and it's probably going to help a lot with boss weaknesses. does not last for long, but can be used in inventive ways such as applying it in the middle of a series of blows in the

26:20 middle. Okay, so like this time he's not respawning, so I have to kill him twice and he dies. Or this guy. Oh, we got a we got a spooky guy here. a lot of health. And you can farm Titanite shards from

26:53 them. Or maybe that's just a onetime thing, but this might be a place I got to visit more often. Bro, I love I love a new zone. Oh, wait. I have a lot of souls. I just realized I probably should go spend those before I just lose them for no reason.

27:21 But I kind of want to get the damage is so weak, man. Okay, my dodge wasn't working or attacking. I'm just going to go spend him. I don't want to get to 20,000. Let's just go. Let's just go. I don't want to lose my souls. Not right now. And I got to check out the the weapon or

27:48 whatever you can get from this uh this boss soul. I have a feeling it's going to be fiery and I might want to use it. And I got I got to talk to the inhabitants here. see how they're doing. Okay, so what do I did? They already

28:12 I don't honestly remember how this guy got here in on the throne. >> Aha, thou returned and a fine day it is. >> Yes, it is. >> So happened upon any twisted souls? >> Yes, I do. Um, Faren great sword.

28:36 Oh, okay. And the wolf knight great sword. Great sword of the abyss watchers which is paired with an unusual dagger. Dagger is utilized as a wedge in the left hand while the great sword is held in the right. A unique technique that has was synonymous with the undead legion

28:54 confounds foes in a manner of wolves hunting prey. Oh, so you can parry with it. Executed with the dagger. Yeah, that's cool. Okay. And let's read this. Great sword of the night, tainted by the dark of the abyss and master of the wolf's blood of Faren. The wolf knight was the

29:12 first abyss watcher and his sword is more punishing against creations of the abyss. Wolf sword. While in stance, use normal attack for a low spinning slash or strong attack to leap forward in a vertically. Am I going to be a I need to be a great sword cleric?

29:29 I think that's what I want to do or just reroll something else. I'm going to get HL's ring. It looks like the fair and great sword uses less. Does it have more damage too? And it costs. So why do some of these weapons cost 10,000 and others cost

29:59 zero? Isn't that kind of strange? Like aren't they equally as good or is this like the official soul weapon? I feel like I feel like the fair great sword's cooler. What should I do? What should I do? It honestly has me questioning if the

30:27 wolf knight's great sword is better just because it costs souls. Magic absorption. Wait, guard absorption. What What does that even mean? Okay, I'm I'm over I'm overthinking things. I think I'm just going to This costs FP, too.

31:01 I'm buying the great sword. I don't care. >> It's a goal. I want to work for the great sword. >> Welcome, husband. Very well. Then take >> I probably can't even level up, can I? I can't. And I need a lot of I need a lot of skill.

31:19 >> Oh, no. Farewell ashen one may the flip. >> Hello again. I have since heard a great deal about you. For one that you are most gentle of heart. I too am bound by duty but can offer you my sign.

31:40 I hear that cordial intrusion lays the path to embers. H >> if I can be of help, blessing of the moon. If you should require assistance, blessing of the moon. >> Okay, whatever. This is the guy I saw at

31:55 the church. >> Ah, I know you. It's been some time. I just dropped in to see how she's getting on. Now, what are you playing at with this circus? This cesspool of daughtering old folk

32:15 and degenerates couldn't be better. She must fit in perfectly here. Yeah, that's the coolest NPC in the game. Sorry, I got to I got to check all the dialogue with these people cuz last time in Dark Souls 1, I I kind of missed a lot of fun things by not talking to

32:36 people. of Lothric Castle. An old path still runs below the tower in the Undead Settlement. It was used to transport sacrifices to the Cathedral of the Deep. You should see where it leads if you've the stones for it. >> Wait,

33:01 so that's the >> You haven't given up yet. You can make better use of this. >> See, >> I don't need it. Not now. I've flown the coupe. >> Yeah, he's crazy. You've lost it, brother.

33:19 >> The undead legion of Faren is a caravan of undead. Sworn by wolf's blood to contain the abyss. The legion will bury a kingdom at the first sign of exposure. Joyous bunch really. Gaining admission to the legion is a matter of some ceremony.

33:43 Inside their keep, snuffing out the flames of three altars opens the door to the wolf blood. >> Okay, we already did this. Obviously, >> even a cursed undead want to believe they're special, it seems. >> Okay, so these these NPCs will just straight up tell you what's up. Sorry

33:59 souls, >> which is good cuz I'm somebody who gets lost very easily. >> Gaining admission to >> Okay, I probably need to talk to these people more often. >> If you should acquire a blessing, >> let's see what this guy says now.

34:15 >> This place could >> um uh what's the move? Okay, I got to figure out this this thing. Who do I take it to? Do I just like go to the throne that it's for? It's definitely not this one. That's the king. So, this is the waters of the abyss. And

34:47 okay, there we go. That's such a cool looking item. You see their their nice little hats that they had on. And now the swords make sense. There was a lot of them. Okay, let's see what we can get for hints. What is that?

35:11 Looks like a insignia of some kind. This is the fat guy. So he that's just a big throne, right? Cuz that's the dude that ate people and solely cannibalized everything. No, that's just Yor the giant. Okay. And Lothric has just a regular throne. And Aldrich of the Deep. This is the guy

35:39 that ate people. And this is this is the chair that I thought looked like a mouth cuz he has like kind of the teeth. Okay. And we already know that he eats and he's fat. I feel like I need to buy some things to like get ready for the next area. What is like Okay, you can buy Titanite

36:04 shards from her too. And then she holds 13. >> Ashen one. I'm going to I'm going to try to get some souls. That's my next I'm going to like just farm like be very careful. Try to try to like actually level up and get this great sword to be used. That's a

36:28 that's a big goal of mine right now. Uh but before I go too much farther, he just told me at the foot of Lothric Castle leads a bridge or an underground something to the tower in the undead settlement which is where Goth was. Unless he meant this foot of the high

36:53 wall. There's What did he say? Is he going to say it again? I hope he does. >> You ofted to new dialogue unlocked. >> I pity the sorry souls. Is that really lordship's last reward? Can you kill people in Fire Link Shrine? So, this might be the only NPC I try to

37:23 kill. Huh? >> I failed to thank you for helping them find their final resting place. >> Baron ring. What is that? >> I pity the s. >> Yeah, I got to make sure I talk to these people. They got some stuff for me.

37:44 Where's the ring? Let's just see it from here. reduces skill FP consumption. That might make my miracles more worth it. Okay, maybe being a cleric and doing these miracles is really bad early game, but maybe it gets stronger as we go and I shouldn't give up on it fully yet.

38:10 I I feel like I have to use that, but I also don't really like I I'll just I'll just remember it for now. Let's go see what our girl talks about. The miracle lady. >> Oh, champion of Ash. You wish to hear a tale?

38:34 >> Yes. You know, in my home of Karim, I was a nun. >> We hear this already. >> I would be pleased to share the table, though, to be honest. But if I had a divine to terribly sorry, >> what else? We got to find more of these. Maybe there's a

38:54 maybe there's a miracle out there that's just overpowered. Okay, you're kind of useless. >> I got to find more. I got to find more toss of braille is good. What needs >> pretty beaker? Heavens.

39:25 Heavens. Wait, how do you change your Oh. I want to curl up. Cool. I just feel like there's so many things that happened at Fireling Shrine in the first game where like something kept changing as I progressed in the game.

39:52 So, I just want to quickly look around and make sure I'm not missing anything like secrets or NPCs that popped out of nowhere or I just got a cool ring. And I still have to figure out what these birds want. Pickle pee and pumper rum. I've I've actually been thinking about it since not playing, trying to

40:09 figure out the riddle. I just really don't know. >> I just don't think I have an item. Pickle pee. I I Yeah, I'm not going to I'm not going to figure it out. >> Not right now. I I I hope there's an answer and I hope I'm

40:47 not missing out anything good. I know in Dark Souls I you got like I got like divine blessings and stuff from the tradeins, but it wasn't really like that important when it came down to it. So hopefully I'm not missing anything there. Okay, let's um

41:03 let's go to Lothric Castle and just explore real quick because I he said there was a path or something to the castle or to the tower, I mean where Gooff is. And I I still have to figure out how to get to the top of the church where he is. I don't know if you have to come back later or not, but I I I need

41:21 to figure it out. Look at him. He's over there shooting arrows. I don't think I missed anything like major over here, though. I went through this area a little bit quick. So maybe there is something. We we were down there I think right that's where we like went

42:16 into the church and that led us to Fair and Keep which I think is over there. But how do we get up there? He said there was a path at the bottom of Lothric Castle and this is this might not be the bottom of Lothric Castle.

42:38 Okay. I know that was the entrance over there. So, does he mean from Arold, thank you for the sub. Appreciate you. I think I'm going to have to just I'm just going to go I'm just going to go look around. I'm just going to go

43:24 look around. Maybe I missed something. Oh, wait. Uh, yeah, I can go this way. We went into this gate and that took us to the guy who can absolve us. I'm just going to go in there again cuz I forgot what was exactly in here. Right. That's uh Yeah.

44:05 Maybe I shouldn't be running past everybody, but we're doing it. Did we go? We went in there. I'm pretty sure. No, we have to go in there. these games. I being blind is is like I really know I know for a fact I'm missing something or several things

44:54 about what I should be like exploring and like all all that's involved with that. But it sucks a little bit to not know what exactly I'm missing. Like how do you get to the top of this tower? And is it even really that important is

45:15 another question, too. Cuz like Goff is badass. I like my dude Gooff. But wait, it goes up now. This is I think it only went down before. We're good. We figured it out. We just literally had to come back. Okay, let's go. And Seward, I heard him. Where is

45:38 he? Katarina guy. My my guy. >> I help anytime. >> Wait, you're not Gooff. >> I help anytime. >> Who's this Goth imposter? Is it Goth? He's just like he lost all his muscle.

45:58 >> I help anytime. >> It has to be him. It looks like his bow and everything. So, what are we doing here? Intrusive thoughts are entering the brain. Laser saber, thank you for the prime. I I'm not going to kill him cuz he's

46:32 been so helpful. I don't even know if you can. What is that thing? Wait, have I not even been over there before? I That's the first time I've seen that. Did I run past that? How do you get there? There's a

46:54 That's where the old tree was. That's We were over there. We ran that way. How do we get there? Okay, we got to figure that out. I don't think I've been to that section yet. That's a big section. I I

47:21 Well, I just found out a secret area at least. Is there a closer bonfire? I'm not sure. I se said h. So he must be just chilling there. I got to go talk to him. I got to go see what's up. Okay. I feel so much better though going

47:58 back and knowing I I can at least talk to the goth impostor. Was it this way? Yeah. Can I climb up without these rats? Oh my god, he's coming up with me. Okay. There was like a middle section of the

48:42 tower I could fall onto. I just have to make sure not to die this time. Does it only go up now? I hope. Oh, now it's going only down. Uh-oh. Uhoh. Surely it's just it just alternates, right? Please don't tell me that was the only time I could go up.

49:11 It must just alter me. No. What do I do? [ __ ] I had one try. It's It's just the lever, right? The lever just switches it. What? What do I do? Why did it Oh my god. I can't I can't believe it.

49:52 Do I just like How do I point up? Uh, that way. Go that way. Go that way, please. No, dude. No. Are you serious? I wish so bad cuz this feels like not that important. I wish so bad someone in

50:43 chat could tell me what the [ __ ] you're supposed to do to get this thing to go up again. Cuz this is actually just tilting. It's just tilting me, bro. How Oh my god, maybe. Wait a second. Holy [ __ ] Hear me out.

51:18 Hear me out. Seward aka Katarina guy is super heavy. He wears very heavy gear. What if Well, we were just wearing the same gear, so that wouldn't really matter, would it?

51:40 [ __ ] man. That'd be a Dude, that'd be such a If if Miyazaki, is that his name? If you're watching this, dude, that's a great thing to put into Dark Souls 4 or whatever. Make it so there's a secret where you have to be a certain weight that it goes up or down. That'd be so

51:57 cool. What do I do, bro? I can't just stay at this elevator for 4 hours of the stream. What? What was the difference? What was the difference? Oh my god. Did I ever tell you guys that my IQ is lower than 100?

52:46 It hasn't been officially tested. I just that's how it feels. Uh, there it is. Okay, that's literally how we get to the next area, too. I thought I had to go somewhere else. Oh my, I am so glad I stuck around for this.

53:04 And he's right here. Hey, dude. >> Oh, don't disappear like that. You had me downright worried. But thanks to you, an epiphany has struck me square in the head. >> I have unraveled the riddle of this inscrable lift. >> Yeah. Yeah. Me too, dude.

53:32 >> That's just there to make you feel dumb, I feel like. But also, that is why I play blind, by the way, in these games. That was so much more rewarding to find out that the lift just is a continuous. There's a There's two lifts. There's two lifts. It's genius. Imagine I look that up. Like, first of

53:52 all, if I look that up, I feel like a dumbass. And second of all, like the reward for just sticking through it and just finding it. It's nice. It's nice. Okay, I have to make sure I don't die to whatever this giant thing is. And maybe I can use some lightning for it. I'm pretty sure, excuse me, that lightning

54:11 is strong. Oh, it's No, you should awaken. >> For what? For what? >> Now, I seek word of the Knights of Katarina. Fight by your side. >> Is he dead? Oh, he's right there. I thought I got hurt.

54:34 I got to eat. Sacred help. What did he just do? Is he going to die? I got to save him, right? That was painful. Don't die. Don't die. Don't die. Hey, we fought with our boy. He's just going to sit down and take a

55:03 rest. What? I know that's a lot of work, dude. He's actually out of breath. >> Quite a performance. >> But you mustn't get in over your head. We unckindled must put our duties first. But for the moment, we have a toast to make.

55:22 >> Yes, we do. Sebro, Sebro. >> Your valor, my sword, and our victory together. Long may the sun shine. Okay, dude. What a This is the best NPC in in Dark Souls. No doubt. No doubt. How do I bow to him? Your service, my

55:48 lord. Greatly appreciate it. I got to drink this thing with him. Where is it? I'm not going to hang. I'm not going to let him just sit here and not get a drink. Where is it? Restores HP and boosts frost resist. Honestly, I don't care. He gave this to

56:04 me. We got to I got to drink it with him. I'm not going to just disrespect the man and drink it later. What a guy. What a guy. >> I'm going to have myself a little nap. >> You deserve it, bro. >> The only thing to do really after a nice toast.

56:23 >> Oh, he's asleep. That was quick. I want to be like him when I grow up, dude. That's the guy right there. Actually, he already kind of is all of us, isn't he? You do one tough thing outside in your yard. You like rake the leaves and you just go inside and sleep the rest of the day. Even though like

56:45 raking the leaves realistically took like 30 minutes. I feel that, bro. I feel that. I'm tired, bro. I'm tired after I stream and I'm sitting at my desk playing a video game. I mean, I feel you. I get it. This game is so rewarding, man. Just the

57:08 fun little interactions like that. Am I skilled enough? Can you Can you aim this [ __ ] How do you aim when you don't have lock on? Okay, guess we need a slash weapon or that pale tongue.

57:55 Proof of an invader's victory over a host of embers. Damn, it's hardcore. Ooh. Northern, what was it called? Northern armor. Iron defensive wear grants superior absorption.

58:23 So, that's what I was wondering about when I was looking at the weapon. What is absorption? Guard absorption. Is that literally just Okay, I think that's just the several different defensive damaging abilities. Okay, so it's just they just called it

58:43 absorption now. Or was it always absorption? Do you literally like absorb the energy from the hit? Probably not. Thank you, Laser, by the way, for the sub on Twitch. Appreciate you, man. These [ __ ] cage things again. I'm

59:06 never going to trust another one of them. Red bug pellet. So many cool new items in this game. Temporarily boost fire damage absorption. So what what is absorption? I think it's just literally just defense.

59:31 Oh, one of these are definitely going to fall in my head. Which one? Which one's falling on my head? I can see it. I can see your color difference, bro. I'm going to kill you. I'm out of FP. And you can even lock on. Yeah.

59:59 Oh, one one hit. Nope. IQ is slowly rising as we speak. Never mind. It's back down to zero. Oh, I thought that was an item, but it's just light coming in from the sky. Okay, we're still down as [ __ ] So, what is this thing?

01:00:40 No, I wanted to look at the I think it was like Okay, this is next to the cursed tree thing. So, this is just a cursed ass village. Damn. When you really actually look at it, like it's pretty brutal. Like those are giant spears with enemies or hollows on them

01:00:59 with the with the wheels. Look at that. Worry of up. Yep. I knew they were going to be coming for me, by the way. I just had a feeling. There's one more. Not today.

01:01:36 Not today. There's a secret here. There's got to be a secret here. bookcases. Oh, I almost missed the chest. They do not make those as obvious in the other games. That's not an illusion. I guess there' probably be a message on the ground if there was one. most

01:02:06 likely. Oh [ __ ] two of them. >> No, no, no, no, no. Holy [ __ ] Maybe lightning spear's good here. I have none left. Oh, please have mercy. >> Oh my god, the double swing.

01:03:11 >> Bastard's curse. >> The normal enemies in this game got me got me on edge. >> Yo, quit hitting me with a book. I'm out of energy. I'm trying to save up some souls. Don't want to die. Elder. Elder. Elder.

01:03:53 Thank you for this up. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That looks like a house or something you can land on, right? Surely there's a blood stain there. I'll go there after. Hang on. Let me check the roof.

01:04:22 Flynn's ring. What is that? Where'd you go? Lowering equip load increases attack. Wait, I think that ring was in Dark Souls 2, actually. I think I got it in uh in like the DLC. Wait, that's crazy. Talon, thank you for the sub on on on Twitch. Lowering equip road uh load

01:04:47 increases attack. That's got to be it's got to be good. And I'm 16 out of 40. Let's take off this. How Wait, what does it say? Does it like tell you how much? That's got to be overpowered. I'm so glad I came over here. Okay, there is nothing else here

01:05:20 besides this. Uh, should I have went that way first? I think we're good. I don't think we missed anything over there. Maybe we could have gone that way. Yo, what? This is the type of like secrets that I really like in Dark Souls games. You

01:05:50 just kind of aimlessly wander a bit in a new area and then you happen across like whatever this is about to be and you get rewarded usually with items. How did you die? Let's see your fate. Yeah, I can see that. I could see that being case. So, I got to jump onto there, I

01:06:16 think. Am I I'm about to do what he just did. No, we're way better. Mera, what's this about? It looks magical. Um, resistances are good. The weight is higher, but

01:06:43 the mirror mirror knights. Why do I Why is that familiar? What are the mirror knights again? This hard leather vest is vest bestowed upon proven knights. I'm putting that on. That looks cool. Even though I literally just put on a ring that Oh, yeah.

01:07:05 I like that. That looks cool. Chlory ring. I love it. Oh, dude. I love this game. Now, the problem is what do I take? I [ __ ] my miracles right now. Love a chlorin ring. Look at the Look at the endurance. What is that banging? So glad I came here. Is that it?

01:07:46 Okay. I think we explored all of this area. I think I'm gonna I'm gonna homeward bone after I kill some more enemies. I just took off my ring for boosting. I don't need the essence ring right now. And H's ring actually. I just realized

01:08:15 that'll be good for Okay, hang on. Chlorenthy plus HLS. That's just max load. Does that matter? Yeah, it takes down the percent. Okay. Plus that. Is the life ring really worth it? Nah, not right now. Let's just do this for a second.

01:08:49 I think we're rolling faster, too. I just realized [ __ ] I kind of thought that might happen if I use that ability. >> I think I'm dead. I'm actually out of here. 6,000 souls. I need to level up. I need to I need to use this.

01:09:37 Okay, this this miracle thing might be pretty good. Let's see how much damage I do now. Oh my god, that's a huge upgrade of dam. Did you see that? 291. Wasn't I just doing 100. >> That's a big upgrade. Big upgrade. It's going to suck when I do my ultra great

01:10:06 sword build, but here we go. I actually don't think I fully explored this town. I think I ran through cuz I was very low health. Let me just take one more quick look around. [ __ ] that hurt very much.

01:10:39 Yeah, it's these [ __ ] That's That's what scared me last time. How do I get up there? Yep. Yep. Yep. Is there even a way up there? There's a blood there's a blood stain up there or a soap sign or something. So, yeah,

01:11:29 got to be. What is this bridge? Fire clutch ring. Dude, there's so many OP items I miss. What is this? Increases fire attack but compromises damage absorption. Who cares? So, if I have a fire weapon, this shit's going to be crazy. Okay, this game is This game's

01:11:59 got some builds to do. Ow. question is, how do I get up there? And can you even glad I looked around? I think you can probably just go that way. I will say Dark Souls

01:12:43 is like there are so many things hidden in plain sight. Like if you're going a little bit too quick or don't come back to check areas, like you're going to miss so much, which is kind of insane because like now that I'm here, it's like it wasn't that hard

01:13:02 to find. But I could have easily just not came back and I never would have saw any of this stuff. But I'm also not like traditionally an RPG player. And there's a freaking bonfire. Like I don't really know like other games. And maybe that's just like

01:13:20 a habit I need to like build up over time, which I'm I am I think now. But maybe it's just a Dark Souls thing, too, where they purposely put things in very plain sight, but if you're just not paying attention or go too quick, you're not going to see it. Um, time for counterattack.

01:13:49 That message came from somebody who died several times to these guys, I'm guessing. Okay. What is so loud? Who? Oh, he's below me. Is that an NPC in there or is that an enemy? It's an NPC.

01:14:18 Aha! Unckindled, are we? >> Oh, he looks cool. >> Welcome to my abode. I am Cornix, an old pyromancer. >> Oh, this is the pyromancer guy. >> Cage as you see now. But here we are, an encounter for the ages.

01:14:40 I hear the unckindled make for fine vessels. Care to learn some pyromances from this old man? >> Sure. >> Most wise, a chance encounter should not be squandered. To reiterate, I am Cornix of the Great

01:15:01 Swamp. The pleasure is mine. >> Now he's going back to Firelink Shrine. What a dude. You know what I was just thinking about too and how brilliant Dark Souls games are? Listen to this. For those who don't realize why this is this area is significant and how for someone like me,

01:15:26 okay, I didn't I found it by chance, but listen up. There are three guys here throwing fireballs at you. There's a ring over there on the bridge called the What is it called? the fire clutch ring. There's just kind of fire everywhere here, hinting at the fact that the pyromancy guy is here.

01:15:49 It's so clever and it's just subtle enough too where it's like probably most people don't realize that or whatever, but or maybe maybe a lot of you do realize that, but I think it's so cool. Like if if I happen to find like an area where there's like lightning strike throwers or like dark magic kind of

01:16:09 heavily populated area or a ring that you know like dark magic increases dark magic attack. Like maybe I should search around a little bit more to see if I can find the dark magic guy or whatever. I don't know if that was in Dark Souls 2 or Dark Souls 1, but that's a really I really like I really like that they did

01:16:24 this in Dark Souls 3I. It seems like there's a little bit more thematic like tendencies going on here. Okay, now I think I have searched everywhere in this area. I'm pretty sure I visited everything except for maybe maybe over there in the graveyard, but I

01:16:47 I don't remember them be I don't think there's anything else. Yeah. Okay, let's home word bone and spend some souls on I guess strength uh shrine. Very cool. Love this game. I need a lot more souls though.

01:17:18 >> Come home. Speak thine heart. >> Very level up. >> Then touch the darkness within me. >> Sure. >> Take nourishment. Dude, do I really want to? Hang on a second. >> Farewell, Ash may the flame.

01:17:35 >> Do I really want to spend all of my stuff so I can equip this great sword? Where'd they go? Did I even buy it yet? Maybe I didn't. Oh, no, I did. Here it is. 24 strength 18. The thing is like this Atora sword

01:18:04 scales off of my faith as well. No, it doesn't. It's just a requirement. I keep doing that. So, there is no scaling here. That's cuz I made it raw though. I think that's dumb. Surely I'm going to I'm going to come across a weapon that has like a faith attribute

01:18:26 bonus. So, I should just probably be patient. And I probably shouldn't have spent 10,000 souls for the wolf knight's great sword. But I do think I need to get my strength up anyways. >> Welcome. Very well, then take >> and my at least maybe my dexterity first

01:18:41 cuz I need to get 18 regardless. And that's what this weapon scales off a little bit. So, let's let's just keep doing some dexterity. >> This feels bad. I don't know, dude. There's so many levels to make. Ah,

01:19:05 that is nothing either. I mean, FP gain is good. I've had I'm I'm struggling the most in this game out of any other game on what I should level up. >> I really hope there's a soul vessel cuz I'm going to need to reallocate these points at some point. right weapon three.

01:19:41 I don't know what I'm doing, dude. I'm getting strength. >> Farewell, Ash. >> Okay. Uh, I think we can move on. We're like super ready to go now. We've got which rings? I think we're just going with these

01:20:15 three. And then where's HL's ring? Do I have that on? H, Corinthy, Flynn's mourns. Just do that. Let me let me do something here. >> Just >> I can infuse weapon. How do you how do you take away

01:20:47 heavy? Where where's the takeaway thing? Oh, shriving stone. There it is. And that would do what? That would make it so it scales off my strength and dexterity again. I need to find a blessed gem so I can bless it and then I can make my weapon

01:21:10 strong based off my my fate. That's what I really need. I'm going to take it off for now. pretty be careful >> cuz I feel like raw doesn't do anything right. >> Wait, this guy's gone. Where'd this guy go?

01:21:30 Did he just shift? Wait, a lot of the people are gone. Where'd they go? Is she still here? Did he just move to here? Ah, there you are, unckindled. >> Oh, there's our pyromancer guy. >> I wish to express my gratitude for

01:21:53 trusting the lowly pyromancer and allowing me to gaze upon this majestic flame. As promised, I will impart pyromances to you. But first, you'll need a flame of your own. Careful you don't burn yourself with it. Oh, damn. Dude, I should have went

01:22:18 pyromancy. This stuff seems so much cooler. Fireball. Can I use pyromancy even though I'm a cleric? Like, is it worth it? Reinforce pyromancy flame. You can. Okay, you can actually reinforce this, too.

01:22:50 >> Yes, here we are. It's been long indeed. With this, I can teach you more sophisticated pyromances. Splendid. I can boast I am your tutor a little longer. I like this guy. Okay, what did I just Oh, damn. Oh, [ __ ] Bursting fireball. Okay, it does

01:23:11 have a faith requirement, which means it probably scales with it. Dude, I should not be leveling up strength then if I want to do straight magic. Fire orb. Profuse sweating temporarily boosts all resistances. Create poison mist.

01:23:33 That could be good. Like really good, too. Oh, no. I thought I might have messed up. cuz I can I can surely use like this doesn't even need the what's it what is it what is this okay um hang on >> what is it teacher

01:23:54 >> hang on let me let me use some of this stuff I want I want to try this poison this thing out oh I need I need more souls how much does this give It's 350. I need to get to 2,000. Oh, whoops. Okay. Uh, thank you.

01:24:27 Learn. Okay. I'm going to maybe get these in a little bit. Especially this bursting fireball. That looks really cool and is AoE damage. But let me get some poison mist and just see what that's about. >> Do not be gone for what is it? >> Cuz poison messes people up. It messes

01:24:45 me up. And if I can just like keep an enemy in the mist, that'd be like kind of free damage. And I'm not I'm not using the heal much to be honest. Let's reallocate or reatune or whatever. Remove and let's put in Let's put in poison mist.

01:25:08 What does this look like? Oh, do I need to use a pyromancy thing for it though? Oh, that's annoying. Um, shoot. Surely, right. Yeah, you do. Okay. Okay, cool. I don't I can use my weapon. I could Okay.

01:25:39 Oh, I breathe it out. Oh, that's so cool. I got to go try this. Let's go. I'm going to try on the skeletons. Surely they can breathe in this mist and die. Maybe magic is cooler than I thought. Now that I I guess I can use

01:26:08 pyromancies. I I thought for some reason it was going to be too much like requirement on the what skill was it called? The intelligence. Oh, my intelligence is really low though. I can use some stuff at least. Catacombs of Carthus.

01:26:36 Eat some of that. Oops. Maybe they can't be poisoned cuz Okay, I'll have to I'll have to He's a skeleton, bro. They don't They don't have noses. What the What am I thinking? Oh [ __ ] he's back.

01:27:14 Okay, we'll use it on an enemy that can actually breathe in through a nose cuz I think it's just going through their bones to be honest. Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] Oh, that was so cool. All right. You want to dance? Wait, I thought you were going to attack then.

01:27:50 Okay, this is one of those redeye guys I just realized. Maybe that's why he has more health or damage or whatever. And a tight knight shard every time. All right. Okay. I I'm feeling really good about the state of the game right now. I'm I'm exploring. I explored I think the entire

01:28:08 previous area. Got some really cool rings. Magic feels a little bit more interesting to me. And now I have a decision. Go forward or jump off to the left. I almost fell off to the right. So that would have been fun.

01:28:30 Dude, who is firing at me? I thought he was dead. I'm on FP. Head shot. He lost his head for a second. I don't want to fight him. It's not worth it. I'm going down. I'm I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead.

01:29:01 God damn it. Gravity. Gravity. Gravity. Me and uh what's his name? Gravity. What's that guy's? What's the singer's name? [ __ ] It was on the tip of my tongue. Uh John Mayer. There it is. John Mayer. Me and John Mayer. All about that

01:29:25 gravity. I mean, I had 800 souls, so it didn't matter. Thank you, uh, Black Kite 1, for the subscription. Shoot. Wait, I have an idea. Jump, jump, jump. Okay, I'm alive. Oh, he came with us. I wasn't sure. I

01:29:52 thought they were going to fall like I did. Caris piracy. Okay, this is dangerous. Yep. This is danger. I'm going down here. Surely this is not a dead end. It was a dead end, dude. Tie knight shard farm. Okay, I got to remember this if I ever need more tie

01:30:21 knight shards. Oh, and he's back. Wait. Yeah, there is no way that wasn't, bro. And what is Wait, I found the hidden path from the other side cuz this message. Okay, probably just a little shortcut, but I'll take it.

01:30:46 I almost missed that. Oh, this guy looks tough. Uh, let's take out my shield in case Oh my god, he has Oh, this guy is so cool. Oh my god, enemies are so cool in this game. That's so badass. Not once has an enemy in Dark Souls,

01:31:15 dodged backwards away from me, and then threw out knives from their their wrist. That was incredible. They 100% leveled up like enemies in this game. Their their move sets, the potential of attacks they have at once, how they can damage you. That is so cool.

01:31:41 All right, I don't think it's worth going that way right this second. We'll go there after. Well, deserved. So, what's re what's making these things respawn? That that thing wasn't a sorcerer cuz that's what it was like in the

01:32:06 act. I just got par to Oh my god, you have no head and no shield. How did you parry me? How did you know the timing? He parried me again. Bro, what are we talking about here? Every enemy is just goated. You want to do it then?

01:32:36 It's a parry battle, huh? Oh, that's going to hurt. My god, there's like I I am nothing in this game. I thought I was like cool in Dark Souls 1. Like I have weapons and I can parry the enemies, but they could just do everything that I can do but better.

01:33:09 I do feel like especially in Dark Souls 1, the like depth, the enemy depth, like what they were able to do wasn't that deep. You just kind of like learn their move set and once you did it, you know that you would pretty much never die again to that enemy. But I feel like even if you learn the attack patterns of

01:33:30 every monster in this game or enemy, you're probably still You [ __ ] It sends fun house over again. You're probably still going to get killed by things. Does it keep going? Yep. Okay. Uh there's got to be a billion

01:33:52 secrets in this place and I'm going to find them all. I'm not letting him carry me. That's annoying. So, you have to you have to wait until he's ready. Like that's what I'm talking about, dude. He just stayed there looking like this.

01:34:41 What? I'm trying not to do an actual move. I'm just trying to like How are you supposed to predict the movement? I rolled four times or something before he even did his attack. And then his attack was a spurling bone swirl. I'm spitting on my screen. Oh, this game is just this game is a big

01:35:01 level up from Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 1. I got to be honest. I'm uh Yeah, this this game's pretty cool. This game is pretty cool. I'm I'm really curious about what these redeye enemies are about. [ __ ] Oh, yep. Oh my god. Please don't. There's two of them on me now.

01:35:48 Well, like dude, come on. Can I do that attack? How do I kill them? I have an idea. Come and get it. Okay. Uh, maybe I should just go a different way.

01:36:51 I'm going to get Yep, there he is. My souls. I forgot about them. Oh, but then there's another enemy in here. I should not just keep running. This is not going to get better for me. It's getting worse. Yeah. Yeah, let's uh

01:37:19 Dude, I feel weak. I feel weak in this game. I feel like 10 or 15 hours into a playthrough of Dark Souls 1 or two. I to be fair, I had the Black Knight Howard in Dark Souls 1. That kind of helped after the fact. Uh but Dark Souls II, I I feel like I didn't have that

01:37:37 overpowered of a weapon and I still is kind of doing all right. What should I do? Um, maybe use armor. That might be a good idea. At least like lightweight armor. Um, sure.

01:38:28 He's back up. I don't care. I actually don't care about him. I I actually do because if I don't kill him and I keep running and I need to take my time. I need to just chill out. It's going to take much longer if I try to go quick and dodge enemies. I just

01:38:46 need to fight them, kill them, and take my time. Have mercy. a shark. Okay, one big scary redeyed guy at a time and I think we'll be okay. Really, bro? Oh, it's this [ __ ]

01:39:56 Okay, if you just wait for him to just do a move, you should be fine. When does this arrow leave my ear, by the way? There we go. Okay, one at a time here. That's not what I meant to do. It's not what I meant to do. I keep forgetting I don't My god.

01:40:50 Okay. Okay, I should never be scared of using my tie knight shards again cuz these guys just have kind of unlimited them. Never want to run out again. Damn. Pillar tech works in Dark Souls 3. All right, where do I Do I go in here to get my souls back? probably.

01:41:23 Oh, I just realized there's going to be a boss in this area and it's going to be so much better than I am. >> Oh, it's this guy with the I Was that a weapon? I'm not as cool. I'm not going to use it. All right, let's get these souls.

01:42:15 Let's get this item. Sharp gem. Nice. I gone this way yet? I don't think so. Uh, right. There's a ladder. Nice. Love a good ladder. Love a tall ladder in Dark Souls. Usually goodness. Good items are at. Wait, I was already here. Never mind.

01:42:55 Okay, so this isn't like the most crazy area yet. I think I can I think I'm pretty much explored most of it so far. I'm almost ready to go down the big staircase. Enemy came from this way. Before I do that, let's go this way. Three. Four of them.

01:43:57 I mean, I don't mind killing those guys. They're They're not too aggressive. They're just chilling. Something tells me that this is a place where I might die. Listening. Do you guys hear that? It's very faint. It's one of those blue blue things, right?

01:44:30 Where's he at? Lizard left. My ears did not deceive me. Stop throwing stuff at me. Got me mid mass, too. Right in the neck. Damn. Shot. Um, any more secrets here? Oh,

01:45:09 was that that can't be it, was it? Looks like it might be it. Okay, let's go down the big staircase and into maybe a boss. Although, we're not too far from the Abyss Watchers boss room. So, maybe maybe it's not yet. And this way, I can take a better look. Why? What's so loud? God damn it.

01:45:47 What was that? Big Jin, it's coming back. What is that thing? What the hell? We're in Sen's fun house again. Can I kill it? I'm going to try to take a swing at it. It's too fast.

01:46:28 Uh, we're good. Lever's broken. Uh it it Okay. Yeah, you can can't hit it. Why are you just standing here? Are you an NPC? What? Come back. Hello.

01:47:04 Quit running. Oh, this thing again. Oh, no. Dark magic. And I can't. Ow. Ow. Ow. I think I'm going to die here. It's not going to get any better for me. Um, really wish I had some. No, no, no, no. Dodge. Oh,

01:47:51 dodge. No, dude. There must have been a bonfire so close. Oh my god. How far back are we? Just give me just just just tell me. Yeah. Oh man. Well,

01:48:14 I guess we're we know that we can just go straight over here, right? Can we just fall from here? Wait, you actually can. I was being sarcastic. You can just walk over here. That's big. That's so nice of them. Thank you, Miyazaki.

01:48:51 Um, yeah. Sick. Oh, I'm Check out this attack. We're going to jump off the ledge and do a purging or plunging attack. Surely this this will work. You're dead. Am I dead?

01:49:15 Come on. Is he dead? How do you dodge it, too? Oh no. Nice. Oh, I'm stupid. This little bastard can't run this time. Okay. I thought we had like another 30 minutes. That guy

01:49:59 was the reason for the ball of skeleton poop. And it gave me a bone shard. Nice, dude. That's a tease. You know what, though? It's much better than being a dumbass statue of branch of your or whatever needing to get there. I will get to you soon, bonfire.

01:50:26 Oh my god, all the skeletons are dead. No, they're not. They're right here. Wait, he can parry me. [ __ ] We're getting those souls back. We are getting those souls back. This is probably the farthest distance between bonfires so far. This one and

01:51:18 that next one. However you get to it. Even though like it probably technically isn't that far, but for a blind play through going all the way through that area over there first and then coming here, it's pretty far away. I don't care if you respawn actually. Uh I do I do care.

01:51:51 I'm being summoned to another world. This is like PvP stuff or something, right? Uhoh. So, last time I just randomly lost connection. Volta the Wise. That sounds like an NPC. Is that not an NPC?

01:52:41 Are we on red team? I just got a crit off that. That That shouldn't have happened. >> I mean What? What is this? This is just straight PvP. I can't hit him. People dodge all the time.

01:53:30 Okay, he's dead. There's three. It's three on one. I'm poisoned and I'm dead. Okay, well that was just annoying to be honest. I couldn't hit the guy. Sorry uh Volta. I couldn't kill him. Not my fault.

01:54:13 Arbor, AB79, and Black Kite. Did I already say your guys? I said Black Kite. Thank you guys for the subs. Okay, returning to uh my own thing here. Oh yeah, I just need to kill this guy. Can I pull one at a time? I cannot. I really hope I get a blessed gem soon so I can make my weapon blessed.

01:55:27 These things are annoying, dude. Oh no. So, should I not break these? It's a lot of skeleton bones. I feel like breaking them is bad. Yep. Okay,

01:55:56 sniff that one out. So, I got to find the route without those things. Ambush ahead only if you roll into the Carthus Milk Ring. Slightly boost dexterity and obscures rolling. Huh.

01:56:31 Is this just like the Is this just that wood grain ring? Wait. Um, it's cooler than that. I mean, what does that actually do, though? Obscures what? Ob

01:56:56 means. Yeah, but what is it? Okay, it blocks or conceals, but like what? I guess we'll use it for now. I probably God Damn it. Got me again. Did I miss anything? I don't think so. That was just a straight hallway.

01:57:25 Oh, did I just have invincibility frames after my roll? That was crazy. Oh, that's sick. I can use it against him. That's right. What is that? That just scared the [ __ ] out of me. I thought I was getting attacked.

01:57:58 Is this ring cracked? What's going on with this ring? I think we have extra invincibility frames. Do we not? Am I looking at this wrong? Oh, dude, there's so many. Oh, there's so many there's so many cool items to loot.

01:58:43 I mean, dexterity is whatever. Oops. H I guess I'll just use it for now. It's it's got to be relevant to the area. I almost got hit a third time from that thing. So many different directions to go. Wait, is that a Oh, okay. Let's go this

01:59:24 way first. Trap ahead. Yep, I see the trap now. God damn it. I'm so I can't see the traps, dude. They're They're so hidden. Oh man, if you weren't convinced that I'm completely blind to this game, like

02:00:04 I hope it's obvious, man. I hope it is. There's probably a comment once every few days, especially like when I upload where like people are saying like, "Dude, there's no way you're actually blind. Like, you're doing things or you know this or I don't even know what the comments really say." But

02:00:22 the skeptics out there are just convinced that I've played the games before. If you've watched if you have watched any of my time here in the catacombs, you know now I have no idea what's up next. How do I like

02:01:08 That was a little bit quicker. I hate that they keep respawning. Why? Why is that happening? And sometimes they just stay dead. I don't really know what the difference is. Am I missing more items in here? I just realized. Maybe not.

02:01:52 [ __ ] Okay. Trap's on the ground. Trap's on the ground. Trap's on the ground. Trap is on the ground. Dodged. And then I can use the trap in my favor. It still almost got me again. So, he's going to respawn, I think. But why?

02:02:43 Maybe not. Is it just the big guys that respawn them? Hm. Okay. Um, let's wait so we can grab our souls first cuz I need to collect them. Where did it come from before? Oh, they're both on me now. This is bad.

02:03:31 Especially when they do that. I'm I'm so smart. I am so smart. 11,000 souls. Uh-oh. I got to I got to make sure I don't die. Okay. Trap. Be wary of hole. It's probably going to break even more, isn't it? No, we're good. Oh, you guys hear the

02:04:09 baby in the background? Yeah. She's crying. Oh, she's tired. Needs a nap. But mom's got her. Luckily, I could probably I'll just double check. Hang on. Give me like two seconds. Make sure she's Yeah, she uh she's 8 months old. She

02:04:53 just started to learn how to craw uh crawl and now she's like trying to climb on top of stuff like while she's crawling and I think she fell backwards a little bit. I think it was mostly her arm that hurt. Uh no, more of these things. Where's the guy at?

02:05:15 A large chai shard. I need those. My precious bonfire. That feeling you get when you get to the bonfire is just unmatched. Okay, now we got a I got a real like dilemma here. I I think I'm going to stick to

02:05:54 >> Very well then. Take >> I'm going to stick to the magic a little bit more. keep using weapons that scale with it specifically, but I'm going to abandon the whole strength dexterity thing for now. And I'm gonna Does this do anything?

02:06:12 Oh my god, I can't even level up twice. Oh, I need 300 more. I could do intelligence so I can start doing more spells. I'm going to do that. I'm going to do that. And then let me use something here so I get another level. Surely I have There we go. Perfect.

02:06:33 >> Very well then. >> More intelligence. And that increases magic defense and dark. And I feel like there's a lot of magic in Dark Souls 3 like from enemies. >> One. >> Okay, back to progressing. Catacombs of Carthus. Wait. Yeah, that

02:06:54 was the first bonfire here. H. This feels like a long game, man. I need three three more, I think, of the thrones. Maybe it's maybe it's about right, actually, cuz I think I'm what 14 hours into the game roughly. And if if the

02:07:21 thrones are like the last things that you need and that's like kind of simp that's like towards the end of the game then maybe we'll be on p [ __ ] Okay, now we're on the bottom level with rats. and a big rat.

02:08:14 I like this area so far. It's pretty cool. You see me or no? We good? He didn't see me. Oh [ __ ] Oh, it's one of these guys. Come with me. I have a I have something I want to show you. Come. Come here. Did he tell him?

02:08:54 Yeah, I should have realized that was going to get me. I think it's going to get me again. Um, let's a fire arrow. Okay, there's the magician guy. His hat gives it away.

02:09:45 That's crazy. He's just kind of sitting there waiting. I don't think I survived this. I was hoping he was going to get staggered by my shield, but he just kind of didn't. All right, at least we're not rerunning from the Abyss Watchers boss room anymore.

02:10:15 I don't know how to feel about this shield. Like I feel like it's it's really good against certain enemies and it's very helpful and then other times I'm like confused when I should use it and when I shouldn't. I also think this ring is doing nothing.

02:10:33 I'm taking out this ring. Like obviously it's good against rats. I'm not sure about these guys. Damn, I do no damage when I crit. wall ahead and then time for cinder. Nice. Thank you messages. Oh [ __ ] That's just such a cool move set.

02:11:48 Good thing you can uh break their poise pretty easily. Otherwise, they would not be easy at all. Grey Warden's ashes. Nice. That's for uh that's for our girl at Firelink. Where did you come from? Did you respawn? He's inside of the wall. And he's now just like the ghost at the

02:12:11 [ __ ] Anderh. I died to a glitch. Just let it be known. That was not That was not a skill issue. That was a glitch. What is that place called underneath Fireink Shrine again in Dark Souls 1? Let's go. Set him out of the wall. It's

02:12:36 exactly what I just dealt with right there. I just lost my souls too that I almost got back to. Damn. I think it was only like a thousand or something though, maybe. I feel like I need some sort of uh like buff to my damage or something here cuz

02:13:02 I feel like this many attacks to kill this guy is excessive. Maybe that's just how it is. >> I'm cooked. I should not have lived. Okay, skip that for a second. What's down here? Probably the boss.

02:13:32 I'll come back for this. This feels like a whole new zone. Yeah, crit does like a fifth of his damage. Seems kind of low. He's back. I'm dead. I thought I was actually going to live

02:14:25 so I could eat, but I didn't expect him to throw the knives. Is it I think it might be time to level up my Atora sword. I have large [ __ ] shards. It does scale with my um my attributes here. So, it might be it might be time to like get some more damage.

02:14:46 It sucks to use the large tide shards, but I feel like I'm going to get more of them eventually, right? I only have three. It's probably only good for one one level up. It's probably not worth it. These guys kind of just like miss. I think I just have to use my shield and

02:15:37 just circle around them. That's probably the safest way here. I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything up here. I took my shield down. [ __ ] It's going to respawn. Okay. Items. Nice. Large shineite shard.

02:16:37 Exactly what we're looking for. Oh, please don't respawn. I don't want to deal with you twice. Thank you. There's still another one, isn't there? This one just uses arrows, I think. Ow. He got me through the wall. Yep.

02:17:32 Perfectly balanced and fun game. How did I go to the wall? I hope he doesn't have a weapon. No, I had I had probably one single health. These [ __ ] traps keep getting me. God damn it. Okay,

02:18:08 fully explored now. We're good. We're good. We can go to the next area of this this catacomb. We just have no essence flasks. That's all. Please don't disappear. That's a creepy bridge. I've been in No Man's War vibes back.

02:18:49 How do you walk? Oh, that's that's Windows buttons. He's still alive, right? No, I got him. I'm so smart. Kicked his ass off the edge. Yellow bug pellet. Okay. Suspended bridge is wearing thin. You don't say.

02:19:28 This looks like one, two, three, four, five skeletons might pop up. Two. That's two. Okay. What's up here? I love a path away from the bridge. No way. The bridge was actually going to break if I took the bridge.

02:20:10 Is that what this shortcut's about? That's insane. Yeah. And there's dead people down there. It looks like you can go down there, can you? Not from here. At least we'll get there after. Or maybe

02:20:30 I don't know. Yeah, that bridge is not going to last. I There's no way. I knew it. I knew it. that message and the fact that there was another path. Not today, Dark Souls. You can get me to the traps on the ground, but not not

02:20:57 that way. You're not going to get me like that. Uh-oh. This looks like another boss room. And the bonfire is pretty far away. And I have zero Estus flasks. Um, let's do it.

02:21:19 This is going to be a cool boss. Oh, we have pillars to hide behind. No. Is it going to be a ton of skeletons involved here? I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. It's purpley over here. Is that a Does that matter? Is that part of the fight?

02:21:47 Nothing to loot. No healing. I could ember, I guess, but that's just going to be a onetime thing. I'm just going to see what the fight is. Touch the goblet. That is Can I open the door first? Let me just check. Let me just make sure the door is unlocked. Like I don't have to fight the

02:22:06 boss, right? You have to fight the boss. How did you die? Let's just check a few of the deaths here. Read the messages. Time for monster. Try left arm then right arm. Okay, some tips here. Skeleton ahead. Oh, that's not a good sign.

02:22:32 Um, I don't have any heals. Maybe I can try to poison him. It's the only Only thing I can know of. Boss time. Come on. Wait. If he's a skeleton, he's not going to be poisonable. He might even be poison himself. Oh [ __ ] No. Is he invisible?

02:23:06 Oh, he did. Oh, no. This is evil stuff right here. H. Something tells me that item isn't safe for grabs. Can I just go home? Do I hear like grunting? I hear grunting.

02:23:48 Just take my binoculars out. It's not really helpful. I hear heavy breathing in the ethereal realm. Uh, I did zero damage basically. High Lord Wolner. What is this boss?

02:24:23 Holy [ __ ] This is so cool. Uh, so I'm going just have to dodge that. Oh, he's coming. He can crawl out of the pit that he's in. I did eight. I'm doing zero damage. We're just going to study him a little

02:25:08 bit here. I feel like I need to touch that item. What is that? This might take a while, guys. Oh, no. Yeah, I can I can keep escaping the mist. High Lord Walnir. What a cool boss. He's going to keep coming.

02:26:01 He is taking little damage. Oh, this is a new move. Okay. Oh, there's skeletons. There's skeletons. There's a lot of skeletons. And I'm in the corner, so they make it. Yeah. Okay. So, I can see this fight

02:26:31 being a little difficult. You can't just kind of wait for things to happen. Oh [ __ ] Okay. His moves luckily are not too difficult to deal with. It's just, you know, the whole skeleton thing. Is is there something strong against

02:26:51 dark? It's probably the light move or whatever. If I were to get like enchanted items. Hm. I don't like bosses that uh summon enemies. This is going to be an annoying fight. He's really cool,

02:27:21 though. Oh, I don't I think I only have to fight one guy, too. That's kind of nice. Or I could just walk away. Who even needs him? Yeah, we're good. Is there a bonfire that I missed? I think so. So, right.

02:27:46 Can I go by, please? Thank you. Bonfire visions. I don't think so. I don't think there's a bonfire. All right. So, we have to kill the boss. I got to touch that light. Whatever that light thing was. I feel like I got to

02:28:25 touch that cuz I was doing no damage. Surely this is helpful, right? Grave Warden pyromancy tome. Is that going to be good? I mean, it's another pyromancy thing. I guess I don't Where is it? There it is. No.

02:29:01 Learn black flame pyromancies. I guess my lightning spear might be good here. Thinking about it. Possibly I guess the boss just doesn't like he just has a ton of health. There's got to be a way to weaken it. I did the same thing, buddy. Bridge is bait.

02:30:10 There wouldn't be a bonfire in this room, would there be? No way. Right. I didn't check over here yet. No, definitely not. Okay, let me just let me just uh just think here for a second. What would be possibly extra damaging? Applies dark

02:30:49 poison. Maybe I can poison him. That might be a move by attacking him. Oh [ __ ] he's doing that. I attack his face. does the same amount of damage early. I mean, I guess the good thing is he

02:31:52 does leave his like wrist here a while. So that summons a skeleton and that's going to get to me I think this time. Yep. Yep. So what's the counter to that? What I mean I could do the dark I have items

02:32:35 black bug pellet. This is going to be hard to figure out. I love how I think Twitch chat is trying to give me some advice, I think, through emotes. I don't even know what the emote is, first of all. But I appreciate you guys trying to

02:33:29 assist. I'm glad this is on emote only because I feel like there is probably 125% chance that somebody would have said, "Bro, just uh use the the thing and then you you can just kill him in one hit. There's a Santa Claus emote. Okay. So, if I just bring in Santa Claus, we're

02:33:52 good. Is that what you're saying? Santa, Jingle Bells, Ice, North Pole. Like, it could actually be spoilers, which is the craziest thing about about this. Um, okay. Let me do I have a shield that absorbs magical damage. Uh let me just look and see.

02:34:31 Reduces fire damage. That's nothing. High relatively high magic absorption. That could be something. But how much? Oh, pretty high actually. The dark doesn't go up by much though. Um, this is this does more dark absorption.

02:34:55 So, maybe I should do that one. But I can't even wear it. It's right. Or this one. This one has a lot of dark absorption. I'll try that. Like these golden things on his wrist seem like interesting, too.

02:35:25 I'm not attacking his own. Maybe they will break off. Okay, let's try to absorb one of these and see what happens. >> That Okay. Yeah, that does nothing. This is the only thing that's very obvious to me is the wrists are very shiny.

02:35:58 Oh [ __ ] Oh, that was a quicker attack than normal. Oh, okay. Okay, that that's all it was. That's good. That was a lot of damage. Problem is, there's still a [ __ ] ton of skeletons to kill. And I don't know how to dodge the dark damage.

02:36:22 I think I have to like stay up top here, otherwise it's going to get ugly. Oh, he's breathing. So, that's good. Those just die. Except for this one. Wait, is that a spinny wheel of death? I'm I'm killing myself in the game. I'm not doing this. I hate those things. God

02:36:47 damn it. God damn it. God damn it. How do I send him back down? cuz I don't have any more room left. Oh, well, yeah. So, I have to kill him before he pushes me to the very back. This is like a speed trial cuz I don't have any room left if he pushes me back

02:37:13 too far. Holy [ __ ] Okay, this what this shield is useless. First of all, let's put on my grass crrest shield. I can't see of any other way of like sending him backwards unless I throw like an alluring skull and for some reason the boss is attracted to it. That [ __ ] ball skeleton [ __ ]

02:37:48 It's a cool boss. Definitely interesting. I assume it doesn't matter if I kill like or which which golden bracelet I kill first. There's two on one hand and one on the other. Maybe I'll weaken him if I take out the the hand that only has one.

02:38:16 This is This is such a cool looking boss. probably one of the coolest looking bosses and most intimidating bosses. Well, I'm not intimidated by the fight or his moves, but I'm intimidated by like his looks. Scary looking dude.

02:38:52 Okay, I got one. It knocked him back. Okay, so it resets him. He goes backwards. Okay. Oh, he's pissed. He is actually so mad. Okay, so it kind of resets it, I think. Is he blowing his [ __ ] Yeah. Come here, boy. Uh, I think he's trying to attack me.

02:39:33 That was two. Nice. And it sent him backwards. Let's go. This is going to piss him off though. I have a feeling. Oh, you get like no attacks on this arm. Oh, you get like just a just a second or two. I don't think I can get down there and attack it while it's in the mist.

02:40:06 He needs to breathe so these skeletons die. What's he doing? What is that? What is that? Oh, he's got a weapon. He's got a weapon. Kill your kill your minions. Thank you. Um, can you kill them again? That's so scary.

02:40:37 Okay, come here, skeletons. Oh, I didn't see that one. This is good. This is good. This is good for if I lived. Dude, that one's alive, too. Come here. Come here. Come here. Come here. Okay. Okay. Die from it now. They're too

02:41:01 far away. This fight's getting harder. Oh [ __ ] Come here. Come here, guys. Watching a shoulder blade. I [ __ ] died. I [ __ ] exploded. I I kind of forgot that the shoulder is connected to the elbow, which is

02:41:28 connected to the hand, which is connected to the sword. I dodged when his shoulder moved, and then his sword hit like five five and a half frames later, and I died. But all I could see was his shoulder in my defense. I'm a bit confused on like which I guess

02:42:06 the bosses that drop the the throne items or the like the main bosses. So, the Abyss Watchers must have been the main boss of the area. So, this is just like another like maybe it's an important boss, but I think it's just an A boss.

02:42:25 This game is so [ __ ] peak, dude. I would have never guessed that the goblet in here would have warped me to some evil realm with a gi probably the biggest boss of Dark Souls so far. I don't think there's been a bigger boss than this one. Like actual size. Maybe the gaping dragon. Maybe.

02:42:56 No, he's much bigger than the gaping dragon. Come here. Give me those wrists. You're not breathing already, are you? Oh, [ __ ] I went in too early. I thought the animation was over. How nice of them to put your souls

02:43:26 outside of the room, too. Follow the big ball of [ __ ] Follow the big ball of [ __ ] You know how good it feels to look at my back of my character and see the grass crush shield on it. Man, I love this item. I'm sad. I think Elder Ring because it's

02:44:16 not like a Dark Souls game. It's probably not going to be in that game. And I'm also sad realizing that if it was in Dark Souls 2, I never found it. It was probably in the Harvest Valley in one of the poison pits. I get it, bro. I get it, bro. All right. This is the kill. This is the

02:44:44 kill right here. I can't even see his hand. Nice speedrun strats. He's pissed. That's a lot of damage. I wonder if I kill the arm on that side if it like prevents him from using his

02:45:22 sword. That'd be nice. Can I get in there? I don't think I can. I'm going to just take my time. Clearly, I'm not supposed to go after when it's close to his body. Oh, want more attacks than that. Can I get there?

02:46:00 Yes, I can. Oh. Oh, am I good here? I'm good. It's the easiest boss in the game. Are you serious? Unless he has a phase, two. Unless he has phase, too. Easiest boss in the game. Are you kidding me? I was I was worried that he had like poison around him. Let's go.

02:46:20 Oh, wait. No. No. No. No. No. No. No more cut scenes. Please, no. Last time this happened, it was a phase two. Please no. I got his soul. We're good. It's just a cool cut scene, right? Please. I'm traumatized by the Abyss Watchers.

02:46:40 Had a whole stream just killing them. Oh, we're good. We're good. I do kind of wish the fight like had a third phase without his shackles. Like it was a one-on-one against him. He just showed his feet. I'm not in defeat. Don't take that out of context. I'm just saying like

02:47:06 would have been cool. You know what's crazy? If I were to I'm googling it right now. Hang on. This isn't a spoiler. Don't worry. Hang on. I just have to look at this. I just hang on. This is very important. Oh my god. One second. I got to show you guys this. Hang on.

02:47:39 Um, how do I switch to this display capture? Did that do anything? Nope. Um, do you see this? One out of a every 100 people, people who are attracted to feet, 14 out of every 100 adults. Do you guys realize

02:48:04 that there is How many people are watching this stream right now? A thousand on YouTube and 200 on Twitch. If it's 14 out of 100 adults, what's that? 12* 14. Are you serious? There'sund what? 58 people. I don't know what the math is.

02:48:26 There's a lot of people in here who really like feet. Insane. Especially I feel like gamers probably have even more of that problem. It's probably more like 10 out of every 100. I assure you guys, it is not me, by the way. I am not somebody who's attracted

02:48:42 to feet. I promise. Speaking of which, take those pants off. Don't really need them. Gorgeous view ahead. Is it peep? Oh my. Oh my god. Aithil of the boreal. Huh?

02:49:23 Dude, I don't even want to play the game anymore. I just want to sit right here and look at it. What? It's actually so like how it kind of looks like Anerondo a little bit.

02:49:47 Is it? Is that it? That's so badass. Or kind of like Lao Moyes a little bit, I guess. But that was a DLC. Bro, I'm so excited for this part of the game. Are you kidding me? Oh, did you see that?

02:50:13 Camera kind of like zoomed in. right here. Coded camera change. There's probably a bug right here. I bet like some sort of a no clip right here. It's a camera. Didn't work. There's going to be a badass boss, isn't

02:50:38 there? Bring a doll to be granted passage. That's That's like a real message on the ground from the devs, right? Okay, cuz that doesn't have any rating or anything. Really? I forgot. I need to go spend my souls.

02:51:00 I need to go spend my souls. What is this thing? Crocodile. Is that a crocodile? What? Okay, you can you definitely abuse them right there. I'm going to I'm going to

02:51:20 abuse that glitch. Okay, spend my souls before I forget. Fire link shrine 26,000. I think I need to get intelligence up. Or do do I actually though? Cuz if I think about it, I'm a cleric. Pyromancy is cool, but I'm not going pyromancy

02:51:44 unless there's like something that can buff me. And I also have this too. Oh, but that's learn sorceries up at Ullesille. And I really like this. I really like Ullesille and the Crystal Sages. Oh no. Wait. And where's my girl? Is that her?

02:52:04 There she is. >> Welcome. Very well then. Take nothing. >> Okay. What should I do here? This is such a I feel like I You do get a third atunement slot. If I do more atunement, >> I could get healthy.

02:52:31 >> If I get intelligence, I can do a lot more pyro. I'm going to do intelligence. I'm just going to open up the opportunity to do more spells. How much to level up again actually cuz I need to >> 1,100. Okay. >> Farewell

02:52:55 400. I probably did that wrong. It's going to give me like 800. Very well. Then take >> Okay, let's get our intelligence up again. >> Farewell, Ashen one. >> And I think

02:53:21 >> ah >> Oh, yeah. We have to give her an umbra ash. >> Gracious passing fine ash thou given. >> Let this ash bestow nourishment. >> Mhm. I only hope these new wares content thee. >> So, what did you what do you have for me

02:53:43 now? Okay, sorcery is different from pyromancy. Oh, damn. Okay, so I'm I'm really glad I did intelligence cuz that's going to open up like a ton of different different things. Okay, what else what else can we get from her now that we did that? Undead

02:54:00 Legion helm. We That's That's the thing. Oh, wait. It just looks cool. It doesn't do anything. It looks really cool. Exile mask. So, you get armor kind of as you go. You unlock like sets of gear. Nice. Where's the item info? Oh, there

02:54:42 it is. So, what does it like do that's so expensive? High absorption of dark. High curse. Okay, I'll just I'll just keep that in mind. Anything cool for sale? No,

02:55:05 I can sell though. I swear these I don't even use these embers. I might just sell them. Just boost HP. Oh yeah. What's the item that you get from here? >> Let's go. Transpose. Black serpent release undulating

02:55:33 black flame that runs along the ground, bro. So, this uses faith and intelligence. So, I'm doing the right thing here. And I can use Wolnir's holy sword now, too. And it costs nothing. No, stop. Bind you. This is You get one or the other.

02:56:00 Oh, would I have to go to like new game plus or something to get buy the other item? That's weird that it Okay. Okay. So, what is this thing about? Okay. This has faith. Oh, no. It might be way more worth it. It has a has a scaling on faith. Uh-oh. This might be my next new weapon. A holy

02:56:19 sword eroded by the abyss. When Wolnir fell to the abyss, he was gripped by a fear of true darkness and pledaded to the gods for the first time. This holy sword together with three armlets, which we killed, stripped from the corpses of clerics, that's what I am, gave him some semblance of comfort.

02:56:38 Wrath of the gods thrust weapon into earth to emit powerful shockwave. The wrath of those swallowed by the abyss is a thing to be wear. I'm already I'm actually fully sold. I am fully sold. Oh, and if it just hangs on my shoulder like that.

02:57:06 Yo, I'm upgrading this to maximum. This is the sickest weapon I've ever seen. wasn't >> reinforce. Can I even reinforce it? I wonder. Titanite scale. Oh, I do have the Titanite scales. I just need Okay, I'm upgrading it.

02:57:28 >> Be careful. >> I got that from the the crystal guy. Oh, this sword looks so sick. That is what he >> Okay, this gives me Wow, that's a big upgrade. >> And I could do it again. And I think I will. That's what we were That's what we

02:57:58 were missing right there. >> Be careful. I don't >> Oh, and it kind of spins a little bit and it h Okay, let's go. Let's go. Do I want to tune different spells? Actually, I don't know if I like this poison mist thing too much. I don't

02:58:26 really I'm going to I'm going to get something else in there for now. Let's Let's just do gradual heal in case we need it. And we'll get some sorceries and pyromancies in a in a bit. I got to use this weapon. Illith, am I saying that right? Ill. I saw that in Dark Souls 1, I thought. No,

02:58:44 that's from this game. Ill's uh icy sword weapon. So, what does that say? I got to read that weapon again. Get the lore. Where is it? There it is. Straight sword bestowed upon the outrider knights of Boreal Valley. This weapon is enshrouded in

02:59:08 frost and causes frostbite every night. one day devolves into a beast constantly hounded by Pontiff Soulon's black eyes. Uh oh. I think that's the boss. Oh, wait. No, black eyes, not red eyes. Okay. All right, let's try this weapon out. Let's try this weapon out. Oh my god. Oh, it's so cool. Am I really

02:59:30 heavy, by the way? What's my weight? Am I heavy rolling or anything? 46%. Feels like a medium roll if they have that. I still have Apple's ring. Flynn's ring probably is not helping us then. I guess we'll just use this for now.

03:00:05 Whatever. All right, Mr. Alligator. I feel like that's a lot of That's what I thought. Can we abuse this? Uh, please, please, please be the same health. Please. Yes.

03:00:53 Stop dodging and just kill the thing. Okay, now I have both Pontiff's eyes. boost attacks as long as attacking persists. Uh, yeah, that's the ring. Um, okay. What's the item info on this? Which ring that Pontiff Sulvon bestowed upon his knights? Boost attack as long as attacking persists.

03:01:26 Oh, so that was a knight. He peered into the black orb and was lured into battles of death, transformed into frenzied beasts. No wonder the pontipid only provides these rings to those dispatched to foreign lands. Do I have a doll? Bring doll.

03:01:51 Wait, that was a ton of souls, too, for killing that thing. already at 8,000. So, I can't get in without the doll. Okay, we need a doll. I have no idea where the doll is and what we're talking about here. What doll could you be talking about? What area did I miss that I Did I just

03:02:22 not loot something? Hang on. Where'd that just come from? Let me just let me just chat. Let me just chat with some some of the people here. See what they have to say about my about my skill, my weapon. I just want to get some compliments. >> Ah, there. You know I'm a pretty well.

03:02:53 Everyone's dead or whole. I might as well fetch some Well, thank you. >> Oh, he's going to go pillage for me. >> You will not be disappointed. >> Okay. >> Until I ended up protting in a cell. >> Nice. Go find the doll. Go find the doll.

03:03:15 >> You don't have anything good for me. >> Goodbye. Do stay safe you here. >> Let's talk to the pyromancy guy. I actually forgot. Do I need to buy? So I have I have a lot of uh money now. Oh, here he is. >> Money to have a pupil as dedicated.

03:03:38 >> Um do I have I do have pyromancy. >> I'm afraid I cannot accept this. This pyromancy tome is dark and delves into the depths of men where an untouchable flame resides. I cannot comprehend this myself. >> There is a dark magic guy.

03:03:58 >> Teach it to you. It is a spell forbidden in the great swamp and nearly everywhere else too. >> Only one terribly afflicted or burdened by deep sorrow could begin to understand this. Okay. Uh, was it the Carthus one?

03:04:20 >> Well, well, I've never seen anything like this. This inscription. This tome is from the catacombs. >> I know. I grabbed it from there. >> On this day, the teacher learns alongside the pupil. >> Okay. Um, what did what is it? Oh,

03:04:46 there's some cool stuff. Okay, what is this? Carus flame arc. Yes, that's what we need. Reinforce right weapon with flame. Hell yeah, we're doing that. Okay, damage increases with the consecutive attacks. Okay, that goes directly into the ring. Emit acid, which corrods weapon and

03:05:12 armor. That could be interesting, too. Okay, now I'm I'm seeing the vision here. Um, I probably want to do Karthus beacon. That seems strong. Unless I mean, consecutive attacks in this game don't really happen often, but this could be good. Karthis flame arc.

03:05:34 >> Do not be gone. What is a teacher without object? >> Can you make your weapon fire just by like talking to Andre, though? Is that really worth it? Ah, just >> infuse weapon. Can I not infuse it cuz it's a Yeah, I don't think I can infuse it cuz

03:05:50 it's like a a boss weapon or something. So, >> and surely fire is just going to increase my damage, is it not? I actually don't know if this consecutive attack thing is going to be good. Or does that mean like actually like

03:06:18 attacks that are like in a combo, not just me pressing attacking moves? H I I want to get a flame weapon. I'm going to I'm going to try it. >> Watches. Damn, you use a lot more souls when you're doing magic builds. I need to level up, too.

03:06:44 >> I learn. Boom. Boom. >> Do not be gone for long. >> I won't. >> What is a teacher without a pupil? >> Okay, let's go. A tune. I hope I can make this weapon flame flamy cuz

03:07:07 that' be nice. Let's tune. Let's remove you. And let's put in you. I probably need to do pyromanc. Oh, wait. No. Can I not do it? No. I can't. Waste of money. I got to see what it looks like,

03:07:43 bro. It looks so cool though. Well, I rest in peace. 10,000 souls for now. Maybe I Maybe I'll use it on an ice boss and it'll be it'll be worth it in the end. Maybe the final boss of the game is made out of ice. Oh, that's sad. Um, I guess we need to find a doll.

03:08:12 We're still in search of a doll. Who would know about a doll? Surely you know about a doll. >> How do you know? Oh, do you have a doll? No, I don't think so. >> Ashen one. >> A doll. Maybe a kid has a doll.

03:08:41 The only thing I I like need to check right out of the gate is the high warlord whatever wolers place. I probably just missed the doll somewhere in like around here. Is it just sitting in here somewhere? Did I miss it back there? Is it on Oh, wait. I got to find a way to go down.

03:09:15 I'm missing like a whole area cuz there's a whole like lower level underneath this bridge. Surely I'm missing something then. Can't wait to use this weapon on somebody. Like there's items down there. How do I get down there is the question.

03:09:44 Can I just fall? Might as well try it. Are you serious? The bridge doesn't even break. It's probably how you land on the place below, though. Oh, I'm barely alive. I am barely alive. Um, holy [ __ ] Okay.

03:10:30 And he can walk up the stairs kind of. And he's immune to lightning damage. Okay, he's not I'm off the edge, aren't I? We're good. Why can't I hit him? Dude, I swear I picked the worst worst thing in the game. Oh, chest.

03:10:58 You [ __ ] I I actually was thinking about how there might be a mimic soon. God damn it. No, dude. I I told myself I'm going to probably attack most of the I actually completely forgot about them. And as I clicked it, I thought, wait a second, it's been a while.

03:11:25 Like, there's already one threatening boss in like the area. Why is there a mimic, too? Probably have an safer way down, don't I? Do I not? I don't think I survived this again. I do. Okay. I just barely survived.

03:11:55 You know what? I'm pissed. I'm This mimic is dying right now. No. No. I'm dying. And now that I have to dodge, did the mimic die at least? I think he got burned alive. I'm pretty sure. I have a feeling I'm not going to live it one of these times.

03:12:52 Guess you just This is all intended, I guess. Is there a way to go down there? Oh, I almost fell off. There must be a way to get down there eventually. Unless that's just bait. The mimic died. Let's go. Mission accomplished then. Black blade. Oh [ __ ] What is that?

03:13:21 I've got some Yeah. Okay. Okay. I get it. I get it. I got to fight before I can look at my items. Okay, man. All right. Come here then. Fight. Let's dance. It's kind of h well I I guess I just got to do one attack

03:13:56 and like I actually think this ring sucks. You can't get consecutive attacks in this game. I attacked twice and I was instantly punished. Unless you're playing like a super fast weapon sometimes. I don't know if you

03:14:15 can ever get multiple attacks in. What's this black blade? I feel like I haven't gotten any weapons from a bleed, too. This thing might be good. Oh, it's a katana. I like making some katanas. High Lord Wolnir. This shiny black blade is thick but shorter than the typical

03:14:38 katana. Its m weapon strong attack. As a sumo holding stance to rapidly execute a lunging slash with normal attack or deflecting parry with strong attack. Okay. Well, that's h that that sounds like a cool weapon. All right. What's the what's the

03:15:00 technique here? It's not that. It really isn't that. [ __ ] skeleton. What is he doing? Why does this one have white eyes? Can I bait him off the edge or something? Oh my god. Oh [ __ ]

03:15:37 There's a lot of skeletons here. There is more than I thought there would be. And they're just fighting each other. Wait, they're kind of cooking him. Wait, that was so genius. Those skeletons are destroying him. Wait, he's pretty low. I got to I got to like Oh, this is cheesing it. This is

03:16:12 perfect. Come and get it. Come and get it, man. What's the problem? You're getting killed by skeletons, too. I better get the loot, though. Thank you, guys. Now you know what it's like to be attacked by a billion skeletons at once.

03:16:32 This weapon is sick, by the way. Wait, what's my hang on? Hang on. What? I have no FP, of course. I like this weapon a lot. Wait, what was that? Okay, what is this soul? I've got ears, buddy.

03:17:16 Um, one of the twisted souls. Oh, steeped in strength. Soul of a demon used to acquire numerous souls or transpose. Demons were born of the chaos flame, but the flame has not survived. And the demons are a dying race. Isn't that wasn't Quaog chaos flame?

03:17:36 Chaos witch? No, she was chaos witch. Maybe it's the same thing. It feels like almost every illusory wall is going to be accompanied by a soap stone that says illusory wall. So maybe maybe I haven't missed as many as I thought I have. Is this the doll? This has to be the

03:18:26 doll. Is that a grave? Oh, it's a bonfire, too. Witches ring an old sage's blindfold. Okay. This What does it say? Attire of pyromancers of the great swamp. That's what that guy was wearing in the that I talked to the

03:18:47 pyromancy coach, life coach, just, you know, how to how to be good at arson and all that. The flame reveals all and obscures all. Yes. And what else did I get? The ring. What?

03:19:10 What was it? Was it a ring? Witches ring greatly boosts pyromancies. Okay. All right. Might be useful later on. Feels good to find a bonfire. Thank you very much. This is where the doll's got to be. Time for message indeed.

03:19:42 Oh [ __ ] What? Holy. What is that? And why can I go through rocks? I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. They can't hit me from here. In fact, I'm so unafraid. I'm going to go use the bathroom and I'm going to be fine. Oh, not yet. Okay.

03:21:17 So, is this is this like Ash Lake or something? Smoldering Lake. Is it just a Ash Lake was really old? I I doubt it. Okay. But like who is who is shooting the arrows? It's a mechanism. I just want to see the damage there. I wasn't trying to get hit or I was trying

03:21:48 to get hit. I mean, I blew my cover already. Damage. So, they come in threes. I was going to say, where are the enemies at? Okay. Yeah. Um, I can't hit it.

03:22:36 I'm going to use the arrows to my advantage. Am I just surely it's hitting him too, right? I think it is actually. No dodge. I think it's lighting damage everywhere. Uh

03:23:15 H. It's like Nika. Just get get here. [ __ ] I'm out of juice. No way you're going to come to the stairwell. There's no way. Okay. I really wish I did the heal thing cuz I need some heals. And this looks like a boss fight of some kind. Wait,

03:23:42 that's the Isn't that the insignia that was on the chair? I think that's the insignia on the chair in the Fireland Shrine, the throne seat. I think I'm dead. Bonfire. There's no way. I'm so happy. Let's just take a quick little uh just

03:24:17 let's just go to Fireling Shrine. Let's just kind of look around here. >> Level up. >> I still need 1,500. >> Dude, I I'm soul poor here. Oh, that was a lot. Okay, >> speak very well. >> Level up. Let's go for intelligence so

03:24:45 we get pyromancy stuff up again and maybe sorceries. >> Farewell, ashen one may >> and let's talk to this guy about this soul of a demon. Aha. That soul. >> Soul of a demon. Demon's fist. Is that the only item? And a demon's great axe.

03:25:14 Wait, isn't this thing kind of cracked? This great axe, a favorite among demons, contains the strength of fire. Demons born of chaos harbor fire and yet they are twisted and malformed such that they will they were never meant to be. Demonic flare briefly cause flame within to flare and sm Oh my god, that sounds

03:25:34 so cool. Okay, this is a fist weapon. There's so many cool items and weapons in this game. I got to replay this game like soon because I I want to try different builds. I I definitely got to focus on magic then because otherwise I'm going to like miss out on the magic part

03:25:58 and that's too many strengths strength levels for now. Let's go to the demon ruins. Let's explore. I almost missed this area. Well, I guess I wouldn't have missed it cuz the game pretty much told you like you need a doll. I'm assuming that's somewhere

03:26:17 around here. Is that it? I need that item. I need it. I need it. I need it. I need it. Shield of water. Okay. That hurt. What a

03:27:00 very perfect shield for what I just did to get it. I'd rather give my life. What is this? Shield of want. I can't even use it. Cursed by an all-consuming thirst. In the end, he was no king. So, we Okay, this might be the Aldrich guy. The

03:27:22 residue of the king's lust still smolders within the shield, increasing the number of souls absorbed when enemies are defeated. That might be good. Equipping the shield in the left hand allows one to perform the skill of the right-hand weapon. I might need to use that. I need souls.

03:27:41 Okay, let's let's figure out a way to kill the centipede ass thing. We need the arrows to come and fight. Can he reach from here? Yes. Is this even like a good method? No. No, it's not. I guess I could just attack it normally,

03:28:18 too. I I I don't even know how much damage it takes. Let's take a look. First of all, let's pull it out before Oh, I totally forgot about that. The arrows should be just coming flying at us. There they are. It just went through here. Oh no, it did damage.

03:28:54 I'll just stand here till it's dead. I'm like safe to stand here, too. Yeah, it came and reached me here. I broke the game. I'm a genius. And if I need to, I can just curl up. He can't reach me. Almost dead. Oh,

03:29:28 so worth the cheese. One more. Bang. That's it. That's a cleric ability. Where is it? Lightning stake 35. Holy [ __ ] I need to I need to get some souls.

03:30:05 Strikes with a stake of lightning. This tale describes the lost predic of ancient dragon slayers who found that in order to pierce dragon scale, lightning should not be hurled as a bolt, but rather be thrust as a st. Wow. Okay. And I just got a ton of souls. So, I'm

03:30:24 going to maybe go spend those, too. And I guess I'm going for 35 uh faith. Okay, I I totally underestimated how important magic might be. It just it just needed some time to grow, you know. See if I can get some more souls before I go too much farther, though. [ __ ]

03:31:01 Oh. Oh. Ah. Ah. The the enemies are so much harder in this game. It's not even funny, man. Just random enemies sitting around just kick your ass. Like I I think this dude might be harder than Wolnir. I just tried What am I?

03:31:46 I want to try this uh this thing. It just made him sing. Did you guys hear that? Was he just singing? What the hell? Surely you're weak to lightning. [ __ ] That looks like it's going to hurt.

03:32:36 I kind of like the way they sound. More tie shards. Nice, nice, nice, nice. Dude, there is so much involved in this game. Like, I have so much to explore. I'd be curious to know what percentage of the game I am through. Oh, not these [ __ ] again. And they can throw [ __ ] this time.

03:33:10 And they can Oh, no. Stop throwing dong. Nice. Great kill. Great kill. I'm glad that this game has like a lava zone. I feel like all Dark Souls games need lava zones. We had the iron keep. We had the lost

03:33:47 isolith or whatever. Brussels one. Nice. Okay, I do I do pretty good damage. I do pretty good damage. All right, I'll go down there soon. NPC or enemy? They're back. >> I hate this thing. I actually hate this thing. Don't grab.

03:34:37 I need to make a tier list of my least favorite enemies in the game after this play through. Damn, I I should have I honestly should have known. Let me out.

03:35:07 What is that thing? Ow. Oh my god. I do no damage to it. It's the same things from the depths in Dark Souls 1, but they're they're made out of fire now and you can't hit them. I'm out of heals. Oh no, I forgot to switch my

03:35:36 attunement. [ __ ] Nope. Nope. Dude, how did that not hit him? Huh? He's the most abasive enemy in the game. How is he bugged? He's bugged. He must be

03:36:06 bugged. Bro, I would be dead if I was him. Thank you. One more. Surely we don't die. Was that 20 souls? Bloody onion. Thanks for the prime. What? What is that death? What the hell happened? Oh, am I going

03:36:53 to make this jump or not? You Why would I think I could make that jump? Like I actually It was way There's just a staircase on the other side. Like I I knew there was too long. I'm a jump. The goal for 35 faith is long from from now.

03:37:25 I'm making a run for it. This is such a bad idea. It's not even It's This is such a bad idea. Oh, this is getting This is making a run for it. Missed me. Come. Try it again. They're all I'm just on the run. I'm I'm in the depths. I'm in the depths

03:37:57 again. I'm so confused. Where am I? I I found a bonfire. How lucky am I? Oh well, I'm dead. I think at least I'm near the bonfire. Like, dude, you're jumping through the roof. You're jumping through the roof. Your head should be broken. You

03:38:24 shouldn't be able to do that. Your horns should get stuck on the ceiling and I should be able to hit your toes for free damage. Let's go level up. Big ball in. Thanks for the sub. And bloody onion. I already said your name, but you got it twice. Bloody onion.

03:38:46 Today's been a good day so far. We've killed what? Three bosses. Two. At least two. the Wolner and um uh what was the other boss? Uh the abyss walkers of course started out with them. >> Well, speak very well then. Much more progress than yesterday.

03:39:10 Yesterday we were not making good progress. >> Farewell ashen one. >> A tune. A tune. A tune. A tune. Don't forget. Let's go with there's nothing else that really I mean maybe I could try poison mist again but

03:39:33 that's too it's it's not worth it. Oh, hang on. I need to go to a different different bonfire. Yeah, this is a we while we have low souls. I'm just going to go into this fog wall and just

03:39:57 see what see what it's about. Actually, I think it's Aldrich if I'm guessing because because that's like the insignia that was on his chair and it's a fog wall and it looks like a boss entrance, but I guess we'll find out. Sadness ahead.

03:40:23 Are these like the Oh, these are the dragon bones, right? Are these dragons? I can't really tell if dragons are good or bad in this game. So, are you friendly? Old demon king. Not friendly.

03:40:50 Oh, and not safe. Damn. Oh, you can dodge that. I think you want to stay underneath him. You don't want to stay underneath him that long. Yeah, you don't really want to be that close to him, it seems. Okay. What a

03:41:10 cool boss. Okay. Lots of fire in this game. Totally forgot about those. All right, me versus you, buddy. Okay, that was an early dodge. That That was I also jumped into it,

03:41:53 bro. So, what do you do? Oh, is this just a range boss? I think I might be using lightning strike here. Got to be Zeus on this fight. I don't know if you can get that close. Um, the fire resistance. Is that is that going to do much for me? Do I have that? No.

03:42:24 Okay. I'm going to try a little bit more with the melee and see if there's a way to get out once you attack cuz that he like drops a fireball on my ass right as I go to run away. That's very punishable. I was so delayed.

03:43:04 Damn, for an old man, you're pretty good. Holy [ __ ] you're relentless. Maybe I can like take him to the water or something. Go swimming. Surely that like ignites like this water wouldn't be here for no reason.

03:43:33 You scared of the water. He doesn't extinguish. Totally unrealistic game, man. Unplayable. Oh, you can dodge it. Okay, he has a tail. Should I try to get for his tail? Oh [ __ ] The flame is in the water, so you can't

03:44:15 dodge that way either. H. He seems pretty fair, I think, for the most part. I'm going to get stale. Oh, did he just get angrier? Oh, he's on fire. Oh. Oh,

03:44:44 it comes back out, too. And now there's fireballs and they don't stop. Holy [ __ ] This is so cool. All right, bro. I got to take advantage of that a little bit more. It's going to come back out towards me.

03:45:29 So, if I dodge it, what is he doing? Oh, the fireball thing. I got to go. Such a cool boss fight. Oh, it's going out first. Oh, he tricked me. He tricked me. I think he got armor, too, cuz he's a lot stronger

03:45:58 now. Okay, if I take my time, I might be able to do this. Is it coming in or out? In. But I'm too late. guy had a dodge. Yeah, I ran out of S's flask. That's a really cool fight. I like that. I think I'm going to try to

03:46:30 put on uh Lightning cuz I think Lightning's good against fire. It did. It was good against the abyss walker. Oh, wait. Gold pine resin. Gold pine bundle. Okay, so this probably lasts longer. So, it feels like I probably shouldn't

03:46:57 use the resin. Oh, I can't use it on this weapon anyways. God damn it. Disregard. Oh, whoops. I'm probably just going to take my time on this fight cuz it feels like he's going to just eat away at my SS

03:47:48 flasks. That was fast. That's such a good combo. Oh, he's making a rain fire. Good. We're good. Oh. I'm I'm just going to bet it's coming

03:48:35 from outside. >> I dodged so early. [ __ ] I missed. Dude, I don't have reflexes like that anymore. That was such a quick attack. It's a good thing I gave up competitive games cuz I feel like

03:49:12 reaction time has just been like slowly evaporating. I don't know if I don't know if this guy is worth killing right now. I mean, obviously I can kill him, but I got to go explore the other way. >> He did it twice. That's the first time

03:49:46 he's attacked twice. Can I I don't want to be here anymore. Let me go. I'm stuck. All right. This isn't This is like a very patient boss. I I can't be I just got to do what I did the first attempt. Just like attack,

03:50:18 dodge, attack, and just slowly whittle him down. I'm getting greedy for just multiple attacks and staying close and all that. He feels like he's very punishable, but I mean realistically it's not the case. Got a dodge. That dodge timing has to be

03:50:46 perfect. So fast. I did not expect him to be done with his animation that quickly. Let me go. Let me go. I'm stuck on his toe. Oh, he's going to make it rain. Ah!

03:52:37 Ooh! Ooh! Uh uh uh. We're good. Dude, that's I just just dodged it with the fire. This is testing my my greed pretty hard, this boss. I probably should also use this replenishment thing more often.

03:53:16 Gradually gain health. I'm going to pop that before I go in. And then Oh, maybe I'll get by an arrow though if I do that. He still got me with that. And then one. Okay. What a what a combo. This game is I think this game is way harder than

03:53:57 Dark Souls 1 and 2. Someone did this with getting no hit. or no damage or whatever at least. Crazy. That was Wait, you could kind of I dodged into it. I dodged into it. Whoops.

03:55:05 I think if you hit his hands, he like staggers a little bit. Where's it coming from? Outside or in? Outside. Surely I can outrange that. [ __ ] Hey, I'm just going to get out of range

03:56:08 for all that. Ah, yeah. greediest move with the sentry there. More fireballs. Okay. I'm like hitting nothing when I go to attack him a lot of times. Maybe I can like hit with someone. Okay.

03:57:09 It did not like I don't I don't know if I get magic in this game. I missed again. All right, we might be here a little while cuz I this fight just takes forever and I keep missing when I have like a chance to attack.

03:57:43 It's starting out range it. I Wow. I wish the water did something. That'd be really cool. I got the hit. I got a hit. Oh, I just realized I got to punish that.

03:58:10 His swinging move is like I can just walk into his character character model. It's a giant arena, too. Actually, if this was a smaller arena, this might be the hardest boss in the game. Like, I don't think there's an opening there.

03:58:43 He's doing his thing again. I probably should take advantage of that actually, too. Okay, I'm getting the feel. I I should not be here though. Huh. So, is it random that he I think it might be random where he starts the ring of fire.

03:59:25 I don't want to be here. I think I'm out of essence flasks. Probably over on this one. Oh, I'm alive. Isn't there a shield I have that absorbs a ton of fire damage? Would that Would that work on this fight?

03:59:58 Which one is it? Greatly reduces fire damage. Oh, but I can't use it cuz I still need another strength. No. No idea. Even though I've died a lot on these

04:00:34 bosses and they're difficult, like I I respect the boss itself and like I feel I feel like it's completely balanced and like kind of fun. Like there's some bosses that I didn't really enjoy, but so far I think every boss has been like

04:00:58 thoroughly like engaging and like feels like a boss fight. I forgot he has that move. Completely forgot about that. We did it again. Oh, that's such a that's such a good move to have for somebody who wants to stay close. Good dodge.

04:01:41 Oh [ __ ] I'm getting my ass handed to like ah. Yeah, I should there. I can just run away, dude. I might just have to try I just might have to try this. 82.

04:02:20 Like, isn't this just going to be way better? I might have to just do some lightning spears. Yeah, I'm going to reallocate my class. This is definitely the move. He can reach. Oh, he can reach. Wow.

04:03:01 All right, let's try let's try lightning lightning moves here. We don't need Havl's ring. Let's do Let's do this one. We'll do the life ring, I guess. Clarthy ring. Maybe I don't really need a lot of endurance. Um, reduces FP spell consumption,

04:03:33 boosts miracles. I think that's what we're looking for. Okay, let's go reallocate my uh my stuff and let's try to do let's kill a boss using magic for the first time. Melee's melee seems doable, but it's certainly not that easy. Wait, what am I

04:04:06 doing? Yeah, this way. >> Let's do Let's do five cuz we can actually heal ourselves here. Do we want to reinforce this? Spell buff 110. It's only titanite shards. I'm going to I'm going to upgrade.

04:04:38 running out of running out of souls. There should be plenty though. What? Wait, can I reinforce the talisman? Oh, I'm using large. Uh-oh. I did not mean to do that. I don't think I used any. Now it's S. Okay. Okay. Okay, this might

04:05:01 help me increase damage a good bit. >> Be careful. >> This might be the move right here. I probably should spend my souls before I just go lose them for nothing. Repair powder. I died too much for that. Charcoal pine resin. Let's buy Let's buy a couple of these.

04:05:39 >> All right. I'm I'm pumped. I want to kill this guy with magic only. Surely we can do it. Surely. And I think we should have enough flasks. I don't know if we have enough for the damage. We can go attack him after. Maybe I'll attack him for the

04:06:05 first part of the fight until he does his second second wave and then I'll start using some magic. It's going again. Holy [ __ ] Aggro. How much does this do? Nice. I'm just going to do

04:07:18 Think I can outrun that. I'm in a corner. Let me stand up. Oh, that might reach me. That did reach me. Holy [ __ ] Wait, did he just heal or have I not done any damage to him? Did he heal or something?

04:08:02 I don't think so. Where is he? This might be this might not be the method either. Sur they outranged it. Yeah. He's so aggressive. Problem is now I think I'm out of

04:09:46 this isn't going to work. I don't think cuz we don't have any more FP. I'm using my binoculars on the middle of the fight. All right. I think we just have to melee him. And then if I want towards the end of the fight, I could just use the mage to

04:10:12 finish him off safely. Or I should just melee him until I run out of ess. That's probably the the play. Yeah, that that was all of that timing in the halfheld. I think I think I know what we're going to do then. Melee him. Melee him. Get him really low. If or if I run up

04:10:49 S's flask, then switch to R. uh magic. And I think that'll be the method. I don't know if this is like a a skill difference or not between me and the boss, but this game's this game's like this game's hard. This is much quicker at least.

04:11:30 Damn it. That move's hard to dodge. I'm dead. Where are you looking? You can just outrun that one kind of. [ __ ] Oh, I only have two S's flats. I just realized that's a problem. And he got me with that. I'm just dead.

04:12:39 Holy [ __ ] Uh yeah, for the YouTube video, uh I'm guessing this this fight I would have edited down to maybe like 45 seconds, maybe a minute, unless something like interesting happened or like I noticed something with the lore. You guys Hey, you guys wanted to see the

04:13:08 uncut. This is what you This is what you get. This is what you get. A little bit of uh little bit of dying. I'll be curious to look at the comments after I upload this video and see what everybody thought about like the different fights. Am I the only one who struggled on a few fights or am I like

04:13:30 am I dying on the fights that I should be dying on? Like the cursed greatwood I did on one try I think or no it was two tries. Maybe three, I can't remember. Like, did you guys die at the cursed greatwood a ton and didn't die at all to this [ __ ]

04:13:50 guy? I I missed [ __ ] Heat. Heat. I pretty sure I dodged that one in time. Guess we can switch to Oops. Am I even hitting him? Yep.

04:15:33 I'm not even hitting him half the time. That's not That's not even hitting it. Am I too far away? That's crazy. I thought magic was overpowered. Huh. I feel like magic is way better for like kind of getting around the game like not the boss fights

04:16:09 and then I feel like just most boss fights you're better off attacking with melee weapons. But I should probably go check out the sorcery guy real quick actually. Where's he was? Cuz he maybe sorcery is what I'm missing. Maybe I need to like buff Maybe

04:16:28 I can buff my weapon with sorcery or like pyromancy. I don't I don't know if I like pyromancy. Is he dead? He died. Isn't this the guy who does sorcery stuff? What?

04:16:55 No, there's got there's someone else, right? My boy Withered. Maybe it'll be this spot. Maybe I just haven't found the sorcerer yet. H. What the hell? I can't use pine resin. Just

04:17:40 Honestly, I don't even I'm just >> I'm over the magic again right now. I keep going back and forth, but I'm over it right now. Estus or uh Yep. Estus ring probably. I'm going to I'm using the Flynn's ring. I'm taking all this stuff off. How heavy is this? I don't know.

04:18:11 Weight zero. Weight 4.5. Weight 7.5. I don't even think I really need to get extra uh stamina recovery right now. I think we're good. And then maximum load. Yep. All right, let's try this again. Let's go N. Let's just get good. Attack the boss.

04:18:44 We plenty of Estus flasks. Don't get greedy. And we'll just wither him down. He's He's not as hard as the Abyss Watchers, but he is frustrating. Here we go. Here we go, buddy.

04:19:16 Think my damage increase that much? Maybe heavy attacks or Nope. Nope. Nope. I am staggering him a little bit more. I got greedy. I got greedy. Let's run this out. We're good. Oh, I thought I dodged in time.

04:20:53 We're in a good spot right now, though. I am I can't believe I said that. I jumped instead of dodging to the fire and killed myself. That's crazy. Oh no. Oh, I think we actually had that kill cuz we had five S's last left. I hated in Dark Souls 1 that if you're

04:21:19 running and and immediately press your like button again, you jump. In Dark Souls 2, I think they took that away where it didn't matter if you you would dodge. I think I guess I could put on a different keybind. I did not mean to do that. Okay.

04:21:56 Delete his attack. So well I mean I mean I gotta I gotta get I gotta I gotta not be greedy. Dark Souls II is I think my ultimate test because a lot of the times my greed I can usually like get away with it

04:22:49 because I I feel like I'm an okay player, you know, like I I usually do okay. Like I take I go as greedy as possible. But I think in Dark Souls II like you legitimately just cannot you cannot be greedy at all. Like maybe if you're really good at the game or

04:23:09 like you know exactly like what you're need to be doing or you can exploit something or whatever, but for me like I am I am just 100% getting smoked by It's It's like changing the way I'm approaching the game or it's slowly like conditioning me to that at least.

04:23:39 Oh, this gets me every time. What are you supposed to do about that? That's hard. I feel like every Dark Souls game has taught me like a valuable lesson about like how to deal with the bosses. like they all have the different like flow of the game. Dark Souls II is definitely

04:24:27 like a timing, patience, and like kind of like a planning during the boss fight. A whole different a whole different thing. God damn it. Are we still going? Holy [ __ ] like right there. Like I guess I could have waited for a better opening.

04:25:04 You do have to do some damage to the boss. Does that one go back out? I think yeah, it does. He's doing his thing anyways. I do like the boss fight a lot though. That's starting from the inside or going out. Yep. All right. Well, I have one SS flash

04:25:57 left. I could do a couple magic hits. Lower him down a little bit more. I was going to say so I could safely get him down, but Oh, wait. I have uh punishment. I think I'm dead. I am across an entire country and that

04:26:34 move still hit me. Wow. Holy [ __ ] Dark Souls 3. I just hope I'm struggling as much as everybody else. Should I be doing like more heavy attacks? I I had nowhere to escape there.

04:27:28 All right, come on. Let's [ __ ] dance, old demon king. Let's do this. That [ __ ] move though. You [ __ ] All right. I kind of lacked there. [ __ ] I lost a frame or two for some reason and I lost track of the fire.

04:28:19 I think he attacks. Yeah, he attacks more than Oh, give me an opening, man. Here we go. That's the most abusable. I got hit by it still. Oh, it's still coming out. No. Crazy. Look at him go. You tired yet? You're old as [ __ ]

04:29:10 That was eight attacks in a row, I think. I'm not going into that. Does he got phase three? He does. And I got greedy. He [ __ ] blew up. He blew up. No way. He blew up, dude. He just exploded. I kind of felt it coming, but I thought maybe I could outdamage it.

04:30:04 No. Dark Souls II, have mercy on me, man. Were there any phase 2 fights in Dark Souls 1 or even Dark Souls 2? Trying to remember. These bosses have just so much more depth. Oh, I totally forgot that he was doing

04:30:59 that move. Drink. He got me with it. He never gets me with that run. Oh, he's doing his flame. I could have gotten free damage. Okay, so he's going to blow up. at like 10% health.

04:31:28 I swear to God that blood stain baited me. [ __ ] You know what is kind of nice about being on emote only? I know for a fact there'd be like there would have been at least like hundreds of you giving me like all these

04:31:59 tips on what you would do and like, "Hey man, why don't you try this? Why don't you just try getting good?" I tried, dude. I'm trying to get good. No, but like it is cool to like kind of figure this out in like my own my own way. Like I clearly there's clearly ways of

04:32:20 like beating the boss. Like several different ways of beating the boss. This is just the way that I like. Oh, I'm glad he missed. Glad to not dodge that. I can outrun. I can outrun. I'm faster. I'm better.

04:32:48 All right. Three S's flasks. We know he's going to blow up and he's kind of low. So, we're in a good spot. I'd like to think he blowing up now. Oh, he's just doing that. And like I would appreciate like the advice. Like I know people are only

04:33:11 doing that just to like help me out, but you have to understand as frustrated as I am on this boss, like I'm actually enjoying my time a [ __ ] lot. Oh [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] Surely I'm away from it. Okay. Like it's fun to get my ass kicked. Dude, I had him killed if I just dodged

04:33:34 it last time. He just gives up. Air of Fire destroyed and ember restored. Let's go. We got him. Let's see what his soul says. Actually, I want to hear about this guy. Soul of the old demon king. One of the twisted souls. See, okay, whatever. Oh, you used

04:33:56 to Okay. The shriveled old demon king is now like a clump of burnt ash, but he is the last living witness of the chaos of Iselith. Wow. Okay. So this is all from the this is isithth then maybe. Oh [ __ ] I feel like that was a good note for the

04:34:27 boss by the way. What I was saying during the boss like I think a lot of people in humanity like humans we want to help each other out. And so it's totally like fine to like give somebody advice on a game like this when they're, you know, Twitch chats on

04:34:42 because that's just like what humans do. We try to help each other out. >> Welcome. >> But I think a lot of times, and this maybe this is like a lesson for life in general. Like a lot of people just kind of have to sit in their [ __ ] or sit in the fire and find their own way out,

04:34:59 you know? >> Very well. Then touch the darkness within. a little bit of a little bit of Monday wisdom for you guys. >> Sovereignless soul, >> but that's what I like about Dark Souls

04:35:10 and that's what I like about games. Like, let's be honest, you know, games are all about that. >> Okay, I'm going for faith. I'm going faith all the way. >> Let's do one one hell. >> Farewell. >> Let's see. Let's see what his weapon was

04:35:32 about. Where is it? There it is. So, we can get hurl chaos flame that scorches vicinity or soul of the old demon king, the old king's great hammer. I really like this transposition thing. Wait, do I want this thing?

04:36:24 I need a lot of strength if I want to use it. Okay. Oh, no. Hell yeah. How much more souls do I need for >> 2,000? I think I'm going to think I'm going to use this boss soul. I don't really like the item that I get from it. Where is it? Demon

04:36:48 20k. Hell yeah. >> Very taken. >> Okay, let's get some more faith. Only two levels. need 3,000 more souls. >> Farewell, Ashen one. >> Um, should I just use

04:37:11 No. Am I going to use the old demon king's weapon? Let me just double check. I don't think I'm use the pyromancy. And I'm not going to use the great hammer. So, I'm going to use that, too. Actually, I need to I need to like level up some.

04:37:24 That was only 10k. >> Welcome. Wait, I just got way less from the boss's soul than the the random demon soul. Okay, I still need >> still need 3,000 souls. Um, I could I guess I could just go farm something

04:38:01 real quick so I can make sure I get a level for Is there anything in here I need to do? >> Just wait. You can reinforce a torch. What the hell? Be careful. Can I

04:38:27 Where do I get sorceries from? >> Do not pick. >> I thought it was that other guy who died. Why did he die? How was he dead? Wake up, man. I need your sorceries. I I thought he gave sorceries.

04:38:58 Who killed him? Who? Okay, someone in Fire League shrine is getting is doing some dirty [ __ ] Who is it? Is it you? >> Oh, hello. It took some prowling, but I finally made a score. >> What'd you get? >> Go on. Have a gander.

04:39:18 >> Don't mind if I do. Where'd it go? Where's my mouse? There it is. Okay, he's got divine blessings. Just one. What else did you pick up? Ton of armor. Ooh, lightning earn. That's it. I can get 17,000 souls for my embers. I'm selling three. You guys can't stop

04:39:41 me. I don't care. Goodbye. Was that enough even? No way. I need 400. Okay, I'm going to go kill some lay the flame, >> dude. There we go. All right, let's go kill a couple things real quick and then we'll level up.

04:40:08 Old King's antichamber. Oh no. So that's Oh no. That means we're going to go kill the Aldrich guy soon. Oh no. Come and get it, [ __ ] I want to see what this move does. I

04:40:52 totally forgot about it. Oh. Oh, that did 300 damage. Might be good for AoE purposes. Okay, I need to get some gear on just a little bit. Ah, who needs gear?

04:41:23 I'm alive. >> I dodged early twice. It didn't do anything. Surely you're going to give me 400 souls, right? Got to be 900. You're the goat. You're the goat. Okay, this is all for one more faith

04:42:06 level. I'm putting my faith in faith, dude. This this level 35 faith requirement spell thing lightning stack better be worth it >> cuz I am then take >> I'm investing here. We have nine levels to go. >> Farewell, Ashen one.

04:42:24 >> Farewell. I'm Let me just talk to some people again. See what's going on. Who can I talk to? Uh, actually I kind of already did that. Although that No, it's that one guy who's giving up. Where'd he go? He must have killed my sorcery guy. Where is that [ __ ]

04:42:46 He's just like um whatever from >> PS1. >> Hasn't it been some time? I'm Leonard the ring finger. Remember me? I slipped you those red eyes some time ago. >> That's right. I do remember you. >> You're making quite an effort of it. So,

04:43:04 I thought you might like to know. >> If you yearn for a proper redeye orb, one that is uncracked, >> then kill the dark wraith survivor of the land swallowed by darkness. >> H. >> He has been a prisoner for many ages in the deepest cell in all Lothric.

04:43:24 >> Oh, he gave me a key. Lift chamber key. >> I can see it in your eyes. If you didn't invade, didn't pillage, whatever would you do? >> Is that where I think it goes to? Or is it lift? Underground lift. There's dark raid from the land swallowed by dark. Is that There was a

04:43:51 gate, but where was that? I think I think I know where it was actually. Um, we have to go from the high wall. No, we go this way, I think. I Is it really? Um, I can't I can't fully remember. I know there was a door that wasn't able to be

04:44:21 opened. Dude, this knight used to kick my ass. Now look at him. I think it's this door that doesn't open, right? No. So, where was it? There was another door somewhere else too.

04:44:56 But where? But where? Maybe it was around the beginning part. I've got to find out. Was it? Wait, is it just up top here? No, that's where I came from. I'm an idiot. There's another stairwell that looks like that, though. Maybe it's up there.

04:45:46 you day oneers or uh people on YouTube, you didn't get to see me kind of go through this area on day one. I know I have to kill this guy as fast as possible. It's too late. Headphone users, you guys awake? [ __ ]

04:46:08 the loud. That must be the loudest thing in the game. Whatever whatever that disease is is very loud. Okay, attemp number two and an arrow guy. Come on. What the [ __ ] He's a sniper. Best sniper. He's better

04:46:48 than Goth. Okay. Okay, he's dead. I saved everybody who had a headphone on. Is there a door up here? I can't remember. It's not that one. Okay. Where do I go then? I think it's past the dragon maybe.

04:47:17 That hurt. Was it down here? Maybe cuz this goes down possibly. I'll find it. Find it soon. Can you guys on uh controller do this with your character? Can you make them make them look like this? Just just uh

04:47:44 mouse keyboard thing. Was it around here somewhere or am I just back to where I was before? I got to kill that one guy that wasn't able to kill before, too. Trying to think of doors I haven't visited yet. What?

04:48:29 There wasn't a door. that way. I maybe there was. Was it over here? Um I don't think so. But I do want to go kill that blueeyed guy or redeyed guy. Hell yeah. That was cool. Oh, you still alive?

04:49:08 I should meet with Emma anyways. See what she wants. All right. Me versus you, bro. Rematch. Oh [ __ ] that still hurts. That's what I thought, buddy. That's what I thought. Oh, I got a refined gem and nothing else, right? There's nothing

04:49:43 over here. He actually was protecting nothing. I died 100 times. It wasn't 100. I died six times on him for nothing. Let's see what's up with Emma. Oh, there's a ladder. I just realized. Oh [ __ ] Let me use the ladder. >> What is wrong? Are you not a Lord

04:50:07 seeker? >> Hey, is this not the calling? >> I see the ladder. There must be a way up then. I must have missed this area. There's something here. How do I get up? Maybe that's part of the dungeon or whatever.

04:50:34 I thought I looked around though. There's very clearly a ladder up there. How do I get over there, though? Maybe it has to do with a key. Oh, he's alive. There should be no key over there or no door. Is there one up top here? Oh, no. This

04:51:25 is just gets you to the gets you back to the middle section here. There might be a key needed over there. Maybe. Maybe it is all all the way in there. Killed you. I think there is a door I couldn't open somewhere around here.

04:52:06 Oh god, I'm going to die. Nothing up there. Was it over here? Nice. Bro, I feel like anybody who masters Dark Souls II truly mastered it cuz this is like the attack patterns on these on these

04:53:14 things are just so difficult. I'm killing this guy, that's for sure. Like you can't predict [ __ ] Okay, this dog is going to [ __ ] off right this second. You I'm going to die. I actually died. No. They never stop attacking. Give me a

04:54:16 second. I got to rewire my brain for this game. Oh no. How far of a walk is that? Um, is there a quicker way back there? The Where was I? Okay. Which way was I? I don't even know where I was.

04:54:59 Was I through here and then? Yeah. Okay. I'm not missing an obvious door sign, am I? I can't remember what was at the end of this this way. Was there a door even I I don't just whatever, dude. You can you can I'm just running by him.

04:55:55 I forgot the [ __ ] >> Now he jumps off. That one skeleton has killed me at least four times. Okay, where does this key go to? Is there even anything over here? here. I can't remember. There was a key for the the thief guy.

04:56:46 Maybe this was it. Was this all there was here? What does this key say? Lift chamber key. So, is it just is it just where the lift was? And there's like is there a door in there somewhere? About you.

04:57:38 Wait, where was the lift? It was over here. Just leave me alone. Just leave me alone. My brain is trying to think about all the spots I could have missed. There is one area kind of in the beginning of the Lothric Castle where I

04:58:16 swear Yo, he's just farming souls for me. Let's go. I don't think it was down here. That was just the thief at the bottom of this area. That clearly does nothing there. And that's where the

04:58:52 I'm going to run by Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. This game. I don't care about those souls for a second. I go back to the high wall. Wait, no. That's just where you got teleported to in the very beginning, right?

04:59:28 It wouldn't be up there. There was 100%. Is it just this direction? I think it's just this way, maybe. I think it's over there. I totally forgot that high wall had two different entrances. Isn't there something here?

04:59:54 This is what I was looking for before. Oh, but it's just a door. I thought it was a key. [ __ ] Maybe it's by the dragon. Or it's literally in the same room with the lift. Guys, leave me alone. I need to put some gear on. I feel like

05:00:23 gear is important in this game. I think it might just be over by the actual lift. Roast them. I might die if I go. I've already been here. And I got my sword back. Let's go. This looks like a pretty big dungeon,

05:01:27 man, of some kind. lift room. The lift room. There's nothing down. Wait, there's a there's a it Oh my god. Let's go. I I kind of forgot there was a door there.

05:02:14 Okay, here we go. The last dark raid. It took some It took some uh brain power. Oh, this is the dark. That's right. The dark wraith. That's what they are. You friendly?

05:02:40 Can you not hit me? Oh, he can hit me. I don't want to kill him, do I? I'm so bad at bing. What's going on in here? Oh, he delayed it. The redeye orb. So, this is probably what happened to the sorcerer guy cuz the black eye orb

05:03:39 last time. Oh, it's an online play item. Oh, so I can go kill people. Defeat the host of embers of the world you have invaded to gain the strength of fire. Some choose to put the orb into other uses to embark on this path. Enter the service of Rosaria in the Cathedral of

05:03:58 the Deep. Oh, okay. So, this just unlocks PvP or whatever. That's cool. I'm just happy I found it the area. Okay, let me farm some more enemies so I can Not that guy though. Is it 6:00? I probably is getting close

05:04:34 to Oh my god. How many I get? 36. I need probably 11,000 souls, I think, to level up. I'm going to go do that somewhere else. Oh, I can just farm that guy. I I know where to go.

05:05:01 Cuz if I die, it's not a big deal. Um, where was it? This way. Yeah, that guy gave me 900 soul. That is to kill him like four more times. We'll be good. Uh, gearing fan, by the way. Thank you for the sub. I missed that a long time ago. That was 900, right?

05:05:38 Let's just go see what's up over here real quick, actually. Oh, yep. Yep. Let's go this way. This move sucks. KOed. At least I died by the bonfire. You really can't go through this game without dodging or like I guess using your shield. Should I just use my shield

05:06:26 more? Dude, come on. All right. Think I need one one or two more kills and we'll be able to go level up. dude, that's a lot of poison. Oh my god. I just I actually don't care if I die here. I'm just trying to get my souls,

05:07:50 bro. Holy I can't see anything. He's glitched. Okay, that should be I think it might still be more actually. It might still be more souls. is a lift pyromancy tome. Damn, I should have went pyromancy. I should have went

05:08:27 pyromancy. I feel like there's way better items. Instead, I'm going faith. Instead, we chose the light. And we're going deep into it cuz we're going for 35. This lightning stake thing better be worth it. And I guess if it's not, we

05:08:55 just make sure we get a weapon that scales with faith and we'll be fine. I need 54 souls. >> Farewell, Ashen. >> Really? I can summon an item. Um, I'm not going to use these, right? >> A one >> level up.

05:09:18 >> Very, >> I still need 10. No, we're good. Um, okay. >> Farewell. >> Boom. >> All right, that was a that was a good day. That's a lot of progress. We got through a couple bosses. We explored a

05:09:38 whole new zone and the only thing left we really need to do before well I guess we have to find the doll and then we're going to be at one of the coolest zones it looks like in Dark Souls II. Uh thank you guys for being here again. This has been really fun. I don't know

05:09:52 if I've been saying it enough. Uh I've been thinking a lot about it especially yesterday when I didn't get to stream but this has been super fun and I really feel like the support has been kind of insane. Like on Twitch, I just started this entire channel and there's been so many subs and follows and a lot of you

05:10:11 guys are hanging out and engaging. On YouTube, there's about like a thousand of you at a time watching, which is also insane. I I honestly didn't know what to expect. And you know, these uploads are like months in between sometimes because, you know, this game's going to take me 60 70

05:10:28 hours or or more. I have no idea. And then I got to write a whole script which I've had 20,000word scripts on these videos. Like the process is long. So this streaming thing really helps like the in between and like when you guys get it with the family. You want to make sure income's

05:10:43 coming in. And I know Twitch just put in these ads. If if you guys don't mind, send a comment somewhere on my channel. I I'll read I read the comments a lot. Just uh let me know if it's like obnoxiously like there's too much. If it's too much, let me know. I can turn them down. I'm in like the medium

05:11:01 frequency of them and I don't really know what that means. Um, so just let me know. But anyways, it's it's been crazy the support. I really appreciate everybody and I'm excited to get a big video out on this game when we're we're done. So, I'm going to end for now. Enjoy the rest of your Monday. I will

05:11:16 see you tomorrow about 100 p.m. is when we're starting around that time. 12:30 to 1. Take it easy.
