AISubs v3.7
And welcome back everybody! Welcome to Anor Londo, so good to see you! We are definitely gonna die, let's do this!
All right, so assuming the elevator's still running...
Wow, that's a long way!
Taking a nice, long, scenic trip!
All right.
Aw, that's awesome looking!
Ah, it's cool looking. I love it!
All right! Forward! Into the unknown!
I'm gonna break this.
So it seems like they're starting to shed more and more light on the plot here, and - ooh.
That definitely looks like a gargoyle.
Oh, hi.
Alright, we're doing this.
Hey, buddy.
Hwah!
Hey, I recognize that helmet.
Hmm.
Gonna brush up on my gargoyle fighting skills.
You're a little trickier.
A little more mobile.
Hah!
Got your tail.
All right, we need to figure these guys out.
Ah, missed!
Whoops, not managing my stamina.
Gotta do that better.
Come on, now.
Ha!
Oops.
You've learned some new moves since last I fought one of you.
Yeesh.
Better to dodge.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Right, right, right.
Die. Please die, though.
Okay.
Ooh, new stuff!
I should check out that shield. I'm still using the one I started the game with.
Let's see here...
Target shield, wooden shield, knight shield, hollow sword--ha!
Okay.
Good magic fire and lightning... less stability?
What's my current?
So, oh, so...
I would not have full...
100% physical damage reduction, so that's...
That's probably not good.
Probably better to keep that... with the shield I got.
I mean, tell me if I'm wrong in assuming that, but...
Uh...
So...
Hmm...
Guess that's not the direction to head?
I mean, I assume.
Merchant?
Need bravery?
Oh, I could jump down here, I guess.
Or down this way.
Oh, man, which way to jump?
Let's try...this way!
Ooh!
Oh, I can just cross under here. Okay.
Thought I was making a much more...
permanent choice.
Oh, and I'm just back here. Cool! Okay.
I'm figuring it out.
Anyone back here?
Helloo?
Ooh, I can drop down.
Might as well.
There we go.
Here?
Flyer?
Hmm.
Demon Titanite. Nice!
That's a fine reward. I'll take it.
I'm in a good mood right now, 'cause the place hasn't, uh...
...given me reason to fear yet.
I am sure that will change.
Mmm.
Whoa, is that where I have to go?
Or just where I can go?
All right.
Tally-ho!
Ooh, that is not a...
It's not a wide path.
Take it easy.
Raise the sun, yeah.
I'll do it when I'm on solid ground again.
Hidden - ooh, hidden path you say?
Hmm.
Saw somebody in there, but I couldn't...
Couldn't tell who or what.
Eeeyup!
Okay - ooh, close.
Close.
All right.
Shield up, here we go!
Ah! Ah!
What do you want?
[crash]
Heh!
[crash]
Not as strong as I thought you might be -
Ey! Ey! Ey! Ey! Ey!
Got it out.
Stop it.
Thank you.
This whole place is super pretty. It's so nice to be running around a place that is super pretty... for a change.
And not just kind of hauntingly or terrifyingly beautiful... but still unpleasant. Like, this is just straight up pretty.
Oof. And hazardous.
This may not go well for me.
Do I have another option?
Think maybe I should explore some of my other options first. Hang on.
Alright, so I can't just drop down. That'll kill me.
And... doesn't look like there are any other paths available, so... here we go.
[footsteps]
So when James and I were playing this together, every time an Orlando came up... he spoke of it with such reverence.
And... I get the sense that this is his favorite part of the game. Or... part of this is his favorite part of the game.
I'm very curious to learn why. 'Cause I like it so far.
Oh, they're gonna throw things at me.
Ah, boy.
I'm not gonna enjoy this.
Well... [laughs]
As long as they keep doing that, I'm fine.
Oh...
Is this gonna turn into a whole situation?
Hmm...
Do I have a bow?
That can handle this.
I fear I may not.
And I fear that may... mean death.
Ooh, I have a longbow! Great!
That's exactly what I need at this moment.
And... how do you pop that?
I have arrows.
Not a ton of 'em.
But, I've got fifteen that are good for sniping, so...
Let's give this a try.
Uh...
Let's see... ah, there we go.
"How to aim." Uh... ah, there we go. Okay.
Alright, let's... see what happens.
Fire!
That's not much damage. I hope...
Okay, uh, how do I... how do I... okay.
Alright.
This is intense.
Oh, no! Oh, no, no, no, no... ow!
Don't do that.
Eyyy. Not liking this, not liking this.
This is precarious.
But okay, I can...
shoot a thing at them to make them come to me, that's good.
That's good!
If I could make them come to me right here, where I got a little bit more safety, that'd be great.
Oh, can I knock this down?
Let me see if I can knock this down real fast.
Ha! Cool.
Sorry if anyone was down there.
Alright.
Let's see what we can do to lure this...
guy...
this away.
I can see how this would be a huge pain if...
just past this you keep dying to something over and over...
and have to keep dealing with this. That...
sounds not fun.
Alright.
Fire!
Gotcha!
Alright, come all the way here.
Come all the way.
All the way here.
"All the way here," I says.
Fine.
Eh? Eh?
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
So far, so good.
I can tell already that I'm gonna wish...
I had more arrows.
I do clearly need to start...
investing more in ranged options...
than I have been.
Ooh! Fog gate!
Ooh and there are those, uh, that style of armor again. Like I was seeing tons of in Sense Fortress. I wonder who this figure is.
Praise the sun indeed. Things are going well and I feel good.
I should change my ring, I just realized.
Still got the fire defense...
ring and I'm not sure it's going to be...
helping me quite the same way.
Ooh, rare ring of sacrifice.
Also nullifies curse, that's cool.
Umm...
You know what, let's boost poise for a while, why not?
Ooh, and I glow.
Ffffabulous.
Oh, no you don't. You're gonna have to come up here.
Or I'll just kill you.
Okay.
What else is down here? I'm curious.
Before we go venturing into fog gates...
Hmm. Really? Nothing?
Oh, maybe I could drop onto that and then I could drop in here if I was really...lucky.
Wonder what's up there. Let's check.
Hmm.
I don't see anything like a chest or anything, so I don't know if I'm gonna...
...chance jumping down there or any--oh, there's a chest!
But...
...not one I see a way to easily access, so...
Ooh!
Huge...mural...portrait thing.
Hopefully we can get a better look at that later.
For now...onward!
What do we got?
Ooh. Contraption does not move. Okay. Okay, maybe later. We'll come back to you.
There's another gargoyle, I think. A lot more gargoyles. That's intense looking.
So what's this? What is this? Ooh.
Nope. Gotta do it. Let's see what's happening.
So what did that do? Ooh, interesting.
I've made me a shortcut. That's cool!
[explosion]
Ah, ha, ha! What, what, what, what?
Oh.
You...
All right. That's fine.
You're a gargoyle. I can deal with you.
Sheesh.
You do hurt, though.
Yep, dodged too early.
Can I...
parry these guys?
I wonder.
Eesh.
Come on, swing! I gotta - yeah! Stop it! I'm trying to get somewhere I can - this! There we go - oop! Haha!
Man... you're tough.
Starting to figure it out.
Ugh, nope.
Not completely, though.
Come on, you.
Gonna getcha--ahhh, lightning, lightning, lightning, lightning!
Yeeeah!
Man, I remember when...
gargoyles were so terrifying.
I do.
And it feels really cool to reach a point where they're not nearly so scary anymore.
Still tough...
but not so scary.
Gonna run back to the bonfire real quick.
Get the estus flasks back now that I got a bridge.
Yep, here we go.
I hope I haven't missed my opportunity to get the "praise the sun" gesture because...
you could really use it in a place like this.
So here's the interesting question, do gargoyles respawn?
'Cause they're a bit tough, and they do that big...
...kind of flashy white particle effect-y thing when they die
Oh, they seem to stay dead!
Interesting...
So, do I head straight forward, to the huge stairs...
...and the lots of gargoyles and all that stuff, or...
No, let's head down.
Let's explore this...
...movable stairwell thing a little more thoroughly.
Wonder if I can get into the lower part of the, uh...
...cathedral here.
Ooh, I can! Sweet!
And there's a person!
Who doesn't look immediately threatening! No, no, it's not a person.
It's just stuff--oh, it's just this.
Maybe I--oh, I bet.
I bet I could use this to...move the, um...thing?
To my level?
I bet that's what it's for.
Good luck.
Why?
Why, what's gonna happen?
Why do I need good luck?
Oh, there's lots of small fry in here.
But they have not proven too troublesome.
Lots of small fry. Well...
Still okay. I can do it. Just gotta...
Move carefully and slowly and only aggro a few at a time.
So far, so good.
Can I just get one of these? That'd be great.
Eh, that's alright.
Two's fine, too.
Unless they're gonna keep doing that. That's no fun.
Come chase me!
Ah, it's all three. Okay, fine. Fine, fine, fine.
It's alright.
No, don't do that. That's annoying.
Hey.
Whew, they do hit hard.
Eh, didn't mean to kick.
Yeah, let's have a drink break. That's fine.
Oop.
Can't hit me. It can't hit me!
I'm too fast! Too fast for you!
Throwing knives, cool.
And here's this item on the, uh...
Ooh, there's some more of 'em.
Can't resist, though. Gotta get the item.
Cool. Whoa!
I'll learn more about that later!
Come around the corner. I'm gonna hit you.
Ah! Oop! Okay. Watch it, watch it!
Don't... do that.
Oh, geez, there's more. Okay, this is...
a little more than I bargained for, but that's alright. I can deal with it.
I can deal.
This is reckless. I shouldn't have done that.
Got greedy, thought I could hit one.
Are there five now? Alright, I need to...
need to start being very careful.
Four. Down to four. Whoa! Okay, okay.
Easy does it. Easy does it.
Slow and deliberate.
Slow and deliberate and two-handed hits to take 'em down in one shot. That's how to do it.
That's the ticket. Okay, you die.
Requires quick footing, but I'm doing okay.
Don't love the way that's leaning out from the wall. That seems dangerous.
Awesome!
That seems like something I want to wear eventually. Well, I guess I'm not going for a strength build, but...
Still cool.
What's gonna happen here?
Danger zone.
This thing is gonna fall, isn't it?
I don't trust it... not a bit.
Am I outside the, uh... Yeah, yeah, I'm outside the, uh...
Fall range.
I want to make it fall, though. I want to make it fall without being right under it, if at all possible.
Maybe if I hit it?
Nyeh!
I would like to do something about that, but I don't really know what to.
So... moving on!
If that's important for any reason, or if there's something in here I'm missing, guys, let me know.
'Cause this whole area is big and cool, and I don't want to miss all the cool things.
And I suspect there are a lot of cool things.
And this place hasn't yet given me a reason to really fear or hate it, so that's good.
Blighttown Incense Fortress still take the cake... by a mile.
All right.
It is to--whoop, easy. Not a floor there.
Don't just run places, there aren't floors. It's time to go further! Advance!
Mm. Boy, that's cool.
Demon.
Golem.
Um...
Here...weakness comfort. Not useful, but probably funny if I knew what they were referring to.
So there's gonna be another golem thing I gotta deal with.
And those are a lot of...are those gargoyles? They look like it.
Or maybe they're more of those demon-y things that brought me here.
Oh, they kinda look like that, yeah.
These seem like the sort of stairs you'd roll something big and...killy...down.
I'm not really seeing this golem you guys were talking about--ah! I see.
Gonna have to deal with these two now, huh?
Hey, gentlemen. I, uh...oop. Okay. Okay.
All right.
I guess it's come to this.
Ah...
Wha--?
Okay, I expected that to come sooner.
Cool that you bashed me with the shield, though.
Wow, you got some reach.
Ugh! All right, I gotta learn...
...to watch for that. That's bad.
All right, try that again. Try it again.
Okay.
I don't think I hit him. I think I hit his shield that time.
Oh, I'm still hitting his shield, yeah.
Eek!
Gotta find an opening on this guy.
Or burn him. One of the two.
Ew, catch on fire. That didn't work.
Okay.
Not fire, then.
That's okay.
Try something else.
Maybe if I can get behind you. Can I get behind you?
Eh, not quite.
Try something, come on!
Ah, I shouldn't have. That was my opening.
Sorry, I'm being careful.
Huh?
Guess I should just two-handed this since I'm not blocking him. Come on.
Come on, now.
That's it. Nice! Alright, one down.
It's doable.
This is doable, unless there are any other surprises...
coming for me. And I hope there are not.
[door slams]
Love the look of these guys.
Can you guys hear my cat snoring in the audio? [laughs]
My cat snores really loudly. [laughs]
I don't know if you can actually hear it. I can hear it really well, but...
it's 'cause I've got the game's audio turned down, so that might be why...
Oop, too early.
Nope.
Hey-oh!
[door slams]
Come on, now.
Try to hit me with the shield. That gives me a nice opening.
Hey! Ah, too slow.
Too...early or late? I couldn't tell.
Ah!
Get out of the way! Stop getting hit!
All right.
Not getting any good...shots on this guy right now, which...
Not good.
Oh, he's down to so little health! Come on!
Ah! Come on, hit him at least! Hit him at least!
Ah! Nuts!
Look at that sliver of health! Hey! Okay.
Oh, come on!
You kidding me?
All right, retreat.
They do not leave a lot of openings.
I gotta get him, though. He's down to so little health.
There! Good enough. [laughs]
Trade blows.
All right.
I'm gonna backtrack, get myself refilled here...
...on the Estus Flasks, and then return...
...to proceed further into Anor Londo. This is going well!
This isn't so bad!
Is it gonna get bad? Like, is it about to get way worse?
Oh, I gotta use this guy's help. Oh well. Next time.
