AISubs v3.7
Hello everybody and welcome back to SideQuest!
We are about to venture in to Sen's Fortress!
Or "funhouse" as some of you have been calling it to me in... on Twitter...
Tch, sorry. My brain is somewhat tired today.
I have been doing extra credits work all day, including...
a lot of video editing of...
animation episodes, and I am somewhat... oh, great.
Well, here's a new thing.
Ugh! I don't like it. I don't like it!
Yeesh!
Yeah, I don't like these guys. Don't like it.
Ow! OK.
I don't like 'em. Don't like 'em.
Oh, there's one down.
Already I can tell... I'm not gonna like this place.
You know, I was alright with Darkroot.
Felt like I knew what was going on there.
Now it's just snakes... and traps...
And I haven't even gotten, like, barely in to the first room.
Ugh.
[explosion]
Yeah, I get a feeling this is gonna be an ordeal.
Yeah. Anyway, like I said, I've been...
doing a lot of extra credits work today, so I am...
a little bit loopy, and I think it's...
starting to set in... a little bit stronger, which is...
not a good state to be in, I don't think, for doing...
Dark Souls... Come on, man.
Really?
You're gonna make me deal with this, huh?
This sucks.
Oh, come on!
Come on! No!
No, no, no, no, no!
That is stupid!
Can't shoot at me while I'm...
...trying to get through a...
...trying to get through a thing!
Don't shoot at me! Stop it! Stop it!
I hate it here!
This sucks!
Stop shooting lightning at me!
[footsteps]
This place is already absurdly unsafe!
Come on! Don't make me deal with... ugh!
Sen?
Your fortress sucks!
*sigh* Okay, so we got one, two, three... four... four blade things...
A stupid snake... shooting lightning at me...
Oh, this sucks. Everything about this sucks. Okay. Everything about this sucks. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Screw you... screw you... go away... screw... stop it! What are you... this place is terrible!
I hate it here. I hate it here so much. I hate it here.
Ugh...
Ugh... I'm really... I'm really wound up nervous now.
I don't trust this box. I don't trust anything.
I don't trust anything.
That's a good reward, though.
Two large titanite shards? That I will take.
[sigh of relief]
Nervous. Okay.
What now?
Hmm...
I want to drop down and pounce on this guy, but I'm worried something's gonna come down through there and ruin my day.
So I won't.
There's my clue. There is my clue.
That's what's going to happen to me if I try to do this... if I try to do that in the other spot.
Rolling ball.
Oh, no.
Please die.
I don't like it here.
That doesn't look promising.
Are there any other, like, nooks that I can hide in? Nope.
Any other nooks?
I don't see any nooks. I see a place I can drop down, though. That may be my... that may be my ticket.
Okay.
This place has me very on edge.
Die!
Stop being the worst.
You're a stupid snake and I hate you.
Ugh, there's two stupid snakes.
And a friend!
Hey, friend!
No, friend!
Friend, don't die, please.
Friend, help me.
Friend, come on, man.
Oh, no.
I don't like it.
Don't like it.
Friend, come on, man.
Come on, man.
Don't die and don't let them kill you or me.
Oh, no. Okay.
This is reckless, but gotta do it.
Die.
[sigh of relief]
Some help you were.
Mmm...
Mmm! Oh-ho!
Ah!
Where did you come from?
Spended years, I tell you.
[laughs]
You going to do something about that, man? You're kind of a... precarious spot.
Hmm... hmm...
Ah, you see my cut. Yes you indeed. I've run up against a wall - or a ball, to be precise.
I'm afraid I'm a bit too tough to be outrunning those things.
So here I sit in quite a pickle, but who knows - perhaps we'll have another development! [laughs]
Oh, I can't stay mad at you.
Running a bit low on estus, though.
That is definitely... concerning.
Okay, maybe I can get back up here.
Can I go quick? Okay.
I can't tell where I need to try to get to 'cause I...
'cause there... it looks like there's a little nook up there, but man, that is...
a tight window.
Okay, go. Go, go, go, go, go.
Oh, jeez. Okay, okay, okay.
Hey! I made it!
I think there's an item down there, but who cares?
I made it.
Oh, boy. All right.
What fresh hell awaits?
More snakes. Fine. Whatever.
I should learn how to parry, shouldn't I? That's my problem.
Screw you and your kind!
Yep.
Fed up with you.
Alright, there's a trapdoor... thing. Or, not a trapdoor, but a...
pressure plate.
Here we go.
I hate this place.
Screw you, Cen. Screw you. Screw your fortress. Screw your snakes.
Screw your rocks.
Yep.
Those are the ones.
[sigh of relief]
Okay.
I don't really see any nooks up there. I guess I have to head down.
Well, let's head down.
And let's keep heading down, I guess.
Ooh, okay.
Well, I hope I needed to head down 'cause I sure can't get back up.
I don't trust that.
I don't trust that. I don't trust anything!
Oh, you think?
Everything's an imminent trap here.
Are you a trap? I bet you are.
That's what I thought! That's what I thought! Screw you!
Oh, boy. That's unsettling.
I don't like it. I don't like it!
Do. Not. Like it!
I hate everything about it.
I hope this is fun to watch, at least.
[explosion]
'Cause, I mean, I'm terrified, but...
...lightning spear, that seems pretty awesome.
If I had a way of upgrading it right now, I'd probably try it.
Huh. Ho-ho. That's comforting.
I need to get off, don't I?
I bet that would've killed me.
Or taken me somewhere cool, but I'm not chancing it.
I can't tell if I'm getting smarter or if I'm getting paranoid.
Maybe it's the same thing here.
"Does not open from this side." Hm, okay.
Well...
Really nervous about being on this path.
What with the rocks.
Anyone waiting to hurt me?
Can I change the direction?
Ah, that's interesting.
That is very interesting.
All right, so I could fling it out here...
[sighs]
But you do something.
Where do I want these rocks to go, then?
Honestly, I can't tell if this is the direction I want them to go.
I mean, it's hitting somebody, so that's nice.
I think we can all appreciate that.
Well, this place is a little safer for the moment. Let's see what's down here.
Ah, this is where... OK, this is where I ran through in terror last time. Cool.
And there's a snake.
Another snake.
You'd probably drop down on him from up here, but... whatever.
This is where I came in... no, no, it's not.
This is where I came through earlier. Did someone change the direction the rocks are going, or what? Where's...
I mean, there were rocks falling down this way last time, right?
Oh, my buddy down there.
Yeah. Weren't there rocks coming this way?
But there were rocks also going the other way.
This place is kinda confusing.
What's in that way?
Don't know what that did, but...
Eh, maybe it's not doing anything.
Just gonna make sure it's going the way I think it's gonna go.
Sorry, I am very paranoid at this point.
Haven't seen a bonfire in a while.
Makes me nervous.
Killed a bunch of snakes, though.
That feels pretty good.
So, should I head back down and...
...tell my little onion knight friend that it's cool now?
Well, I guess I should.
Can't see a lot of other places to go.
Let's go there first.
I suppose I killed a snake. Cool.
What's this now?
Oh, this is a path I can go now. I... I think?
No, I think we're safe...
...ish. Safe-ish.
We're not about to immediately die...
...which I consider an improvement, but, uh...
Am I babbling? I... I am kind of...
I mentioned before that I was tired.
Hey, onion friend. What is up?
What...
You better not have fallen.
If you fell and died, I'm gonna be incredibly angry with you.
That better not be the souls I just got a little while ago, either.
You better not have fallen and died.
Onion knight...
I'm already not in a great mood.
Don't you pull that on me.
Just in case.
Okay.
I think it's safe.
Yep. Safe.
What you got?
Ring of Steel Protection? That sounds sweet.
I think I'm kinda safe in here. Let's check items for a minute.
Blue Titanite Chunk. That seems cool.
Reinforces magic weapons to +9 and chained weapons to +4.
With the discovery of chunks in Lordran, the race to locate the legendary slabs has begun.
Demon Titanite.
Where the nameless blacksmith deity passed, from several slabs, great beasts arose.
The power of Titanite remains within them, and they still roam Lordran today.
That seems cool. And I got another Dragonscale somewhere.
Divine Ember which ascends +5 standard weapons to divine weapons.
Awesome.
Anything else super fancy?
Kinda wanna get a glance at that... lightning... spear.
That sounds cool.
It is cool, but it doesn't have a parameter bonus...
so it might not scale with anything.
That's interesting.
Is that common? Like, does that...
Are there a lot of weapons that are like that, or is it... is this...
And I'm guessing that it's just lightning all the time, right?
Standard spear used commonly, long reach can be used with shield up.
Effective against hard exteriors.
Doesn't mention the lightning, that's weird.
But it has lightning, right?
It's not nearly as strong as the weapon I'm using, but...
Hm. Try later.
I am intrigued.
Oh, that's right. I was gonna look at the ring. Sorry.
Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring...
Boost defense against, uh... wait.
Boost defense versus physical attacks? That's great.
Belongs to the Night King Rendall. It grants its wearer protection by boosting defense against physical attacks.
Of the many legends surrounding the Night King Rendall, one of the more well-known speaks of his standing down a giant drake and slashing it to pieces.
That seems cool.
I feel like I've been enjoying this blue tearstone ring. I feel like it's probably saved me a couple of times, but I...
I'm not sure. Maybe it's just my imagination.
If I should be switching out for this, uh...
the wolf ring or for this...
this new ring I just got, let me know.
I figure all of you know so much more about the equipment I have available to me in this game that I trust you guys' judgement.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, hey!
Some jerk moved it back?!
I intentionally moved it away from the space!
Uhh...
Someone is up there messing with me.
And I do not care for it.
Okay, so...
Gonna ride that thing up, gonna get off at the first stop...
This place is stressful.
Whoop, off we get, okay.
Oookay...
Still can't get in here, right?
And I can't open from the side.
And I can't get a great view...
Showing where... like, how you get there.
So who had the nerve to move this thing aimed in that direction again?
That makes me... upset.
I can't even get down there.
I feel like I'm at a loss. I'm not 100% sure what to do.
Oh, wait, is this the door I haven't checked yet? Oh, I think it is. Okay.
Guess I'll go here, then.
Okay...
I don't like this at all.
Yep, button.
Press the button and then run.
Ugh.
Oh, screw you.
More of this?
Give me a break! Come on! There's no room for error on that! They can't be serious!
Really?!
I'm scared to even try. I mean, this has been like a long trip to get up here
Okay
They're not even like in sync
Go!
[laughs]
I hate it here. I hate everything about this stupid place. It's awful
Ugh
No! That was not the button I hit
Uh, I guess it was, but it wasn't the one I wanted, that's for sure
Screw you! I am out of Estus Flasks! I do not have time for this nonsense!
Huh.
Okay.
Things are very real now.
Very real.
Oh, that's comforting.
[sigh of relief]
Come on!
Hate it, hate it, hate it.
Like, Blighttown sucks and all, but...
[sigh of relief]
At least I'm getting some cool goodies, but...
Man, getting through this place is brutal!
I need to figure out something to do about that guy.
Maybe...
if I can equip this...
thing here we go...
Maybe...
I can manage to set it on fire.
That's a start.
Eh, it's further away now, though. That's not good.
Yep.
Eh, that didn't work.
It's working, though. This is happening.
Catch on fire!
Ha!
Missed!
Punk!
Alright.
This is so stupid.
Uh, nope, oh, okay, well...
Uh, should have gone for it. I chickened out, tried to turn back around and killed myself.
Ugh... I don't want to go back through all that again.
But, I guess that's what happened, is what's happening, so...
Next time, I'm gonna come back when I'm not so exhausted...
And we're gonna try this again.
If you guys have any tips for me on this area, they are greatly appreciated, because boy, that place is rough!
