AISubs v3.7
And welcome back, everybody...
...to this...
(sigh)
I just... I don't know what else to, uh... I don't know what to do... differently.
It is all dark... and threatening... and you can't see or... and react to anything.
Granted, that was my fault, I was very reckless there, but...
come on!
And right after that...
is another one of those with a knight accompanying them!
Unfair!
You know what, I think there are some times Dark Souls does play unfair and I think this is one of them.
This whole stretch...just sucks.
Just kinda hoping putting the wolf ring back on with the glow and everything would give me a little bit more...vision distance, but alas.
Eh, sniper spot you say.
I wonder...
...how many I can hit from here.
*sigh*
Really?
Ah, boy.
Come on.
Let's just go ahead and do it.
[gunshot]
[glass shattering]
Ah, not what I meant to do.
Let's just kind of kite them back carefully.
See what we can do.
Ah.
Man.
This is a somewhat unfair combination of enemies
in a somewhat unfair environment, I feel.
[gunshot]
Sorry I'm just complaining a lot in these last couple episodes,
but good grief.
Ugh.
Am I just not supposed to be going through here at this point? Like...
Or is there something else I was supposed to have brought with me?
Something to light the area up?
All right, so after a little bit of research,
I've found that the skull lanterns I have, in addition to being a weapon,
when held...
No, maybe in the offhand or the mainhand, I'm not sure.
When used, can be held out like a lantern...
and also used to attack.
But that is also my shield hand, so...
Uh...
If I see any enemies, I'll have to put it away and I'm back to not being able to see.
Still...
it is some improvement...
being able to kind of look around...
Oh, and it's cool that it lights up certain parts of the area as well.
It's nice being able to see you a little. Oh, hey, you're still around.
Sure.
Eh, whatever. Okay.
So...
Now I can see a little better, which is good.
It's not gonna help me fight any.
But...
at least I don't have to deal with the feeling of just...
slow, like...
always walking off a cliff.
Whew, boy, they are not fun.
Well, let's deal with it.
Thank you for watching!
So at this point I suppose I have to question whether I should keep heading down here or whether there's maybe somewhere else I should have gone first.
Just not sure where else to head.
Eh, I'll figure it out.
I will figure it out.
Yeah, I kind of feel like I'm hitting a roadblock here.
Eh, that doesn't work.
Oof, man!
All right, gonna try a heavier shield this time.
Just to see what happens.
Wonder if it blocks this thing's attacks.
Or at least keeps myself from getting staggered like crazy.
Eh, it helps a little.
Eh, except I don't have the stamina for it.
Okay, that works at least slightly better, but not much.
Still, slightly better is better than nothing, so I'll take it.
Good, yes, good!
Okay, just got one target at a time now, this is a little more reasonable.
Yeesh.
That's all right. Come on back here, buddy.
Ah, wanted to kick him off the edge.
Ah, can't kick him. All right.
Well, this shield definitely has its perks.
Yes! Down you go!
All right.
Progress. Good.
Yeah, the fact that it stuns...
and, uh, keeps me from getting knocked back...
or the fact that it staggers them, rather...
is very useful.
All right, now let's see if we can deal with the beast.
It's all order, but we'll see.
Okay, careful. Backtrack, backtrack, backtrack.
Alright, backtrack further, backtrack further.
Kill it! Yes! Good! Okay!
Making progress!
Now let's go take care of the sniper.
Okay. Making some progress. This is encouraging. I really hope I don't die now. Because I would not want to have to try to - ugh. Okay. Okay. Fine.
Got a shield. I'll deal with it.
Geez.
Geez!
I hope it killed itself falling off a cliff. I really do. But I doubt it did.
Lost track of it.
Oh, there you are. Okay.
Ugh!
Stop it! Just stop!
Goodnight. Okay.
Slowly and carefully onward...
Very slowly, very carefully.
Okay, there's where I came from.
It's nice having the lantern...
knowing the lantern works this way now, like...
it makes this area a little more tolerable, I'll definitely say that.
I will...
not be as opposed to ever coming back here again to look for items...
knowing that I can look around.
OK. Oh boy.
More dudes.
[footsteps]
There's at least one...
skeleton in here.
And a beast... also.
OK.
If I can get the attention of just one of them, that would be ideal.
OK.
Did you see me or didn't you?
Can I sneak by you?
I would love to be able to just do that, but I'm worried that won't work.
Maybe it will.
Bonfire ahead, that's good news.
All right, nice!
I still don't like it here, but things are looking up a little bit.
Just a little.
I think I might swap this shield out for Tarkus's, I might try that.
I'm probably also gonna Kindle this, just because...
I'm gonna need to.
Whew, it's heavy, though.
But 100% damage reduction sounds pretty good.
[distant growling]
Ah, too weak.
Oh, that's okay. Eagle Shield it is.
Back out into this awful area.
All right, so...
If I can just get the dog's attention by himself...
I don't know why I called it a "dog." It's kinda dog-shaped.
There we go.
Ugh.
Don't like those at w-- at all, one bit.
No fun.
'Kay, now just a giant.
Maybe with a bigger shield you won't be so bad, either. Let's see.
This is kinda nice, actually.
Ow - my fault.
Is this the appeal of the strength build? Is this what I should have gone for?
Hmm, let's see, can I get up here? No, okay.
All right, then where am I headed?
Ah, here we go. Down this route.
Let's investigate.
Another white titanite chunk, cool.
Okay.
Yep, another one of you.
Two? Ugh.
I think it's three. I think there are three of them.
That is stupid.
That is completely stupid.
Maybe I can walk around 'em.
Their detection doesn't always seem to be super high, so...
Yeah, I think I can just walk around some of 'em. Great!
Great! Now where do I go?
Very nice!
Okay...
Now we go this way...
Huh, a ladder?
We're getting near that...
Not even sure what I'm headed towards. Like...
Is this where Nito is or...
is that somewhere else entirely?
Okay...
Things are getting lighter, though, and that makes me feel pretty good.
Ah...
See, this...
This is already...
much nicer.
I can deal with this.
What?
Uh-oh.
Paladin Leroy?
Oh, boy.
Oh, and it's another one of you.
Well, then.
I've had it with you and your kind.
Oh, well, with the hammers and such...
Got no time for you.
Oh, no you don't.
Don't give me the - whoa, that hurts a lot!
He is dangerous!
Whew!
Oh, dear.
That's a problem.
Ah, that's what I should do. I should bury him.
Or try to.
Come on!
So, you should have a limited number of those, right? I think?
You can't do it forever.
You're going off a cliff, buddy.
That's right.
That is... right.
Probably would have liked to get whatever item you might have dropped or whatever, but...
who cares? You're dead.
Ugh.
But see, isn't it so much nicer fighting when you can see?
Anything else down here? No?
Aw, man. Yeah, he dropped an item.
That's a bummer.
Oh, well.
Hopefully it wasn't anything too important.
All right, what now?
Hello
Ah, so you were the thing that I was dealing with down there
Or over there, up there
Wherever it was that I saw a ton of you
Huh
Again, not so bad when you can see
This I can live with
Wait a minute.
Ah, someone's shooting me. That's terrible.
Okay...
Not a place to be.
Oh boy.
Can they fit in here? I hope not.
What's this?
Oh boy.
Okay.
So long as they don't come to life...
Everything's fine - hey! It's another one of you!
I thought I killed you!
Whoa! Okay, that's a ledge.
Sorry.
I don't know if this is the shield I want to be using right now.
Okay.
Alright.
Okay, so they're not the same guy, they're different. They're just... they're dangerous, but they're not the boss.
Fair enough.
Look at those bunch of tiny little skeletons. Aww, it's cute.
That is pretty cute, I will admit.
Oh, jeez.
Whew! There's a lot to deal with at once, you know.
Ah, jeez.
Please go away.
Ah, there's more. Okay.
Are you raising those little guys? I'd rather you didn't.
Please stop raising baby skeletons.
Go away. You're cute, but go away.
There's something I can hide in here. I want it.
Ah, nice. Ah, lots more skeletons.
Skeletons everywhere.
And then there's this guy. Let's take care of him.
Whup! Okay, that should've blocked.
That would've been smarter for me to do.
But okay, you're dead.
Good, good, good, good, good.
Was that all of them?
Whew!
No, wait, there's one more, OK.
You... cut it out!
Stop being creepy!
[sigh of relief] OK.
Well, what have we here?
All right, I think we can unequip this lantern, get our talisman back, try healing...
And can I get in here?
Yep.
Somethin' tells me we are in for a boss fight.
Yes, indeed.
We can do it, though. We got here.
And the fact that we got here means... we can achieve probably most anything!
That last area sucked.
