AISubs v3.7
Hello and welcome back to SideQuest and one of the coolest looking areas in the entire game.
I am still really surprised...
...that FromSoftware would hide this place.
Look at that. This is so cool looking.
I'm surprised they would hide this place behind an illusory wall like...
Oof.
Are they coming in my direction? I think they are.
And I don't have my nice cover here either.
You know what? Let's run for it.
Chaaarge!
Can't catch me!
Ehh... oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
Safe!
Nice.
Yeah, I want to see some of this area and I...
...but I don't know if I want to, uh...
...go to the trouble of fighting another Hydra right now.
Huh.
Those crabs, what are they? Ah, okay, they're still in pursuit. I get it.
Is this a rock?
Yeah.
Hey, where'd you go?
Oh, they're like little Venus flytrap things.
Gah! Okay, okay, alright.
Whoa! Whoa!
[laughs]
That's ridiculous.
Cool, though. But ridiculous, all the same. Okay, I need to move.
See if I can get this item.
Nice! Dragonscale again!
Ah! No! Don't jump on me!
Yikes, that is a lot of skulls in there.
Huh. Can I--can I grab that, or will I die?
Twinkling Titanite! Nice! That's something I need!
Alright, now I want to go kill that other one.
There's another item way over there, if I can figure out how to get to it.
This is an interesting little zone.
Oh, I see.
Hmm.
And that looks like a huge skull, actually, from this side.
My, my.
Ehh.
Die!
Uh, I don't know why I thought that was a good idea.
You gonna die or what? Come on!
Die! Whoa! Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!
[laughs]
Wow!
This place is crazy!
I don't know if I'll survive it, but I'm glad I found it.
Geh!
I wonder if there's an advantageous spot to fight them.
There's not a lot of cover.
C'mon.
Get over it, get over it, get over it, get over it, get over it!
Dooo-kay! Ow, ow, ow!
Well, get the item at least.
Go, go, go!
Hah! Got it. Dragon's Gale.
And now I die. [laughs]
Oh boy.
Maybe I'm wrong, but this looks like...
[laughs]
...a bigger hydra than the one I fought before.
Might be wrong, but...
Wow.
You know what, I will take one more crack at it.
Just for kicks.
Where would be a good place to fight them?
Guess I'll go ahead and grab souls.
If I can get 'em to come this way...
Eh, no, there's not a lot of cover in the trees.
I don't know why I bothered.
Aaah, hello!
Falling perpetually. Hooray!
Alright, if they do that again, can I block?
Well...
Guess not.
Alright, I can survive that here.
And if I can get them to charge...
What happens?
Can't block it. That makes sense.
Can't really hit 'em either.
Yeah, I don't think this is meant to be.
What a cool place to find
You know what? Let's head back to Firelink and turn in this firekeeper's soul
And then I'll figure out my next destination
Oh, a friend is gone.
Moved on to the next place, I suppose.
I'm sure I'll bump into him again.
I hope I'll find Solaire again.
I was hoping I'd run into him one more time up there in Anor Londo, but...
I suppose not.
Hello
Yes, please
Awesome
Estus flask plus two
We're in pretty good shape here
Okay, next thing I'm gonna do...
feed Frampt lots of stuff to get rid of all this crap in my inventory that I don't want
Hey buddy, you awake?
'scuse me
Hey!
Dude!
Really?
Wake up, loser!
Eh, whatever
Ah, hello...
big hat friend
Life isn't all about sorcery. You will find your own way. Don't frown with regret. Peer forward with your head high.
Must be due to my intelligence score is my guess.
That's okay.
Really not playing much of a mage character here.
You know, I wonder...
now that I have the lord vessel, can I...
kindle this further?
This is worth experimenting.
Ah, the secret rite. That's what I was missing.
Well, okay.
Fair enough.
Wonder where I get that.
Well, let's see.
I'm sure there are some other places that I could go and some other things that I could do.
I could go all the way down to the demon ruins, I guess?
The fiery place and try to kill the big fire demon monstrosity.
Ceaseless discharge, that's what it was called. I could try to kill that.
I could also go back into Darkroot.
Because apparently you guys were saying that there is some DLC expansion related stuff to be found back there.
And I definitely want to do both of those things at some point.
But for right now, since I'm here...
And I'm interested...
Let's venture down...
Into the graveyard and beyond.
And see what we find.
I wonder if I can fight this stuff yet.
Definitely couldn't last time I was here.
Then it was all panic and fleeing and running and...
Eh, that was really about it. But now...
Now I may actually be able to fight them!
Oh yeah.
Oh, these guys are nothing.
And, if I remember correctly...
Some of you guys have said that there's a very good dexterity weapon to be found...
In this general direction, so...
I think I'll head this way.
And it is my guess that this is the direction I'm going to find Nito, god of the...is it god of the dead?
Or of, uh, of another thing.
The skeleton looking guy.
I'm guessing I'm gonna find him in this direction, given all the skeletons I've been finding.
Alright, here's a...here's a bit more of a fight.
OK, not much more of a fight, but a little bit.
Come on.
There we go.
Scimitar, cool.
Sounds like a dexterity weapon.
I've never been down here and actually taken my time to look around. Usually I'm running for my life.
Hey, binoculars!
Probably could have used those.
Is this... is that on Dedburg? Is that what I'm looking at?
Or is this just where I'm heading?
I am certain that those buildings down there represent someplace that I have either been or am going to go in the future. Someplace that I can go.
There was a path down here somewhere. Where is it?
Ah, here we go.
Okay.
Forward...
...into the unknown!
Catacombs...
I was much more nervous last time I was here!
Hey now!
Don't know what that is.
All right.
Hey!
Someone got revived?
The heck are you?
Ooh, he revives them.
That's a problem.
That's gonna be a problem for me.
Huh.
Oof, do you not like how dark this place is?
Difficult to see
Oh my
What, are you--
Oh, okay, so you guys are just gonna keep following me, then, huh?
Ahhh, I shoulda known.
He was...
blocking to...
Gah!
Okay, this is turning into a nuisance.
Agh!
Alright, I need to find a way to kill these guys more permanently.
Oh boy.
Think maybe I should just start running, huh?
Gah! Bad! Bad!
Time to climb!
Is that all there was down here? Really?
Who'd have thought I'd have found more?
Hmm.
Yee!
Okay, they can climb. Great.
Huh.
Not sure what to make of this little area.
Or how to go about...
Ugh.
Hmm.
Can I kill that thing that keeps reviving them? That would be nice.
I don't know if it ever comes close enough for me to do that, though.
Oh, maybe I can kick you off the ledge. Yeah!
Can't revive if you keep falling!
Alright.
Hah, stuck down there.
Now this will give me a second to actually think.
Can't really see where else I'd want to go.
Can't see the bottom of this hole.
I can't see the...
head that's reviving everybody.
Hmm.
This is tricky.
Hmm.
Is there anything else down here?
It really looks like there isn't.
Oh, wait, there's a path. Okay, I don't know why I couldn't -- I didn't see that before.
Oh, my bad.
Here we go.
Yeesh.
Ah, boy.
Not a fan.
Let's just keep going.
Ooh, boy.
All right.
Hey, a bonfire! Nice!
Always happy to see one of you.
Eh, can't rest here.
Things are alive.
Ah, okay.
[firing]
Can I rest, please?
Ah, come on.
Leave me alone.
Oh, and killing this guy. Are they dying permanently now?
Oops.
I think they are!
All right, so that guy is like the bellringers in Bloodborne.
You just have to get far enough to kill the dude with the lantern.
And the skeletons will stop reviving. Okay.
I know what to do now.
And while I'm here, let's kindle it.
Nice!
Okay.
"Push lever." Hmm.
I will, in a moment.
Is this place covered in bugs?
[firing]
Lots of moving things, at the very least.
All right, this probably opens the door up there. Let's do it.
[firing]
There we go.
Nice! All right!
This time, if I am correct, you should die permanently.
Or semi-permanently. You should die and not revive.
Okay, cool.
Ooh!
This is pretty sweet looking.
Ha ha! It is sweet looking!
Wow!
Oop, torch guy.
And he's all the way over there. Of course he is. Of course he is!
Don't shoot at me! You're already causing me other problems.
I'm gonna get you.
In fact, I'm gonna get you first.
Where are you?
Oh no you don't.
Can't hide from me, pal.
Ha!
That's right.
I'll show you to have demon friends.
Ah, so many.
So many.
Ah.
So many.
Okay.
I think that's all of them.
Now let's have a look around.
Hey! No!
No shooting!
Are there any items I ran past in my frenzy to, uh, attack that guy?
Ah, I don't see any. Okay!
Forward!
To more deadly things!
Can I get up here?
Nope.
Sorry, I know I'm not saying anything terribly interesting, I'm just...
trying to focus a little bit.
That seems like a cool weapon.
Alright, what else we got?
This is such a cool game. Like, once you get over the initial difficulty hump and the initial, like, terror that grips you as you explore each new space - like, once you kind of get into the rhythm of it and figure the game out, and stop being scared of it - it's really awesome.
I'm sure I'm not telling you guys something you don't already know, but still!
All right.
Hmm, yep, there's another floating skull head...
...who I don't think is responsible for re-raising all these skeletons. I think they just...
...have that big AOE magic attack...
...which is still bad, but not AS bad.
Have I been here? I think I have.
Yep, I got myself turned around.
Oof, three of 'em
And this path, which you can't get through and--ah!
Oh, are they just self-destructing? Interesting, okay
That's a little better
That means I can deal with it
Just gotta be sure to block and only...
Pick fights with one of them at a time
All right, one at a time. Come on, guys.
What a cool area. I love the touch of having a waterfall.
Ah!
Hello.
Heh.
That is a trap, I see.
Can I break it?
It'd be nice to be able to break the trap.
Oh, geez.
Two magic heads.
Oops.
Whew!
Oh, here we go.
No!
[laughs]
Okay, that was really cool.
I mean, not for him, obviously, but still.
Get off the cliff.
Leave.
Go away.
Agh!
Ah, jeez.
Ah, jeez. Okay.
Need to find the next guy.
Um... okay. Sure. Push. Hurry!
And here's an item.
It's not the weapon I wanted, but it's okay. It's okay. I'll deal. I will deal. I will deal.
All right, where's the lantern guy for this group? I need to take care of him.
Okay, where do I go? What did I open?
Ah, here we go.
And there's the lantern guy, great!
Take him out first.
And now I can take out the rest! Hopefully, without dying. Hopefully without dying! Come on, careful! Careful! Careful!
Giving myself pep talks.
Agh!
Please die!
Tired of you!
Whew! Okay.
Doing okay.
Scimitar! Nice!
What I'm really looking for is the Great Scythe.
I've been told there's something down here called the Great Scythe and that it is a fantastic dex weapon.
And as much as I've been enjoying this halberd, it does not scale with dex very well.
Ah! Ah! Ah! What's going on? What's going on?
Huh.
[footsteps]
Oh, yikes! That probably would have killed me! [chuckle]
Uh... I think I'm gonna leave this room.
Okay.
Yeah, I really don't enjoy being in these spaces where the lighting is so dim...
...that you can't see the environment. It makes it feel all the more oppressive and claustrophobic.
Ow! Well, at least I got an item.
Ah! Hey. You didn't come back, did you?
Oh, he is coming back. Okay, there's another lantern guy around.
Down here, maybe.
Nope.
Just items.
Items are good!
But...
they don't prevent the rising of skeletons.
So many skeletons.
Where's the next lantern guy? Come on.
Whoa! Wait!
Was that a trap?
Oh, it's just the guy. Cool.
Okay, he's gone. Now...
skeleton problems. Let's go.
Don't fall off.
Okay.
All right.
Doing okay.
Let's check and see if there were any other items up there.
I did "leave" in a pretty big hurry.
Boy, how far down does this go?
Huh.
All right, what did that do?
Oh, oh, it's this door right here. Awesome.
OK...
Hmm...
Let me check this other direction real quick, see if there's anything better here...
Haha, nope! No, there is not. Okay! Answers that question.
'kay
Path I can't...take here...
A ladder? All right.
Hidden path you say?
Ah! There is! Sweet!
What do we got? Ow.
Another bonfire, nice!
I really wish they didn't hide these behind...
illusory walls and such
It doesn't seem sporting
Eh, I'll candle it, why not?
Alright, this seems as fine a place as any to call it an episode, and when we come back we will continue exploring.
I'm gonna find this scythe. I want it!
