AISubs v3.7
Hello everybody and welcome back to SideQuest!
We're back in Orlando, because we got some stuff to do!
First up...
Interesting...
So she is allied with the goddess... queen? goddess? both? I don't know
Concerned against the ancient dragons, he became Lord Gwyn's confident, was granted dukedom, and was allowed to pursue his research.
At the regal archives, he immersed himself in research on scales of immortality... the one thing that he did not have.
But his very research drove him mad. The archives became a dungeon... a place for sinister experiments.
Now... nobody dares even approach the duke's forbidden archives. It looms over this land, high atop the mountain.
But I should warn against even an approach.
We are back in Orlando, and we've got stuff to do, as I was saying.
I don't know if you guys saw, like, I've... I'm wearing paladin stuff now.
Kinda liking it, I like the look.
And I've also, uh, upgraded... the great scythe up to... I think I got it up to +10.
I care... it's been... it was a couple weeks since I played last.
But, uh... been really wanting to get back into this.
But yes, we have several things to do up here, a few things to check off the to-do list.
Thanks for watching!
Ah, memories.
So, I guess, second thing to do out here...
Apparently there's a bonfire... I didn't know about... under here somewhere?
I mean, I got by fine without it, but...
long as we're here, might as well see.
Honestly, I'm happy for any excuse to keep wandering around Anor Londo, 'cause...
I like it out here.
Like, archers and really tough bosses notwithstanding...
this has been a cool zone in general, like...
I have... it's been difficult at times, but I've thoroughly enjoyed... my time spent here.
Which is... way more than I can say for places like...
Blighttown...
Tomb of Giants...
Ugh...
I can't decide which I like least now, but I think Tomb of Giants actually takes the cake.
I think I... would prefer go back to Blighttown than go back there.
Maybe... maybe I gotta do something with this.
Um...
[door opening and closing]
Watch me spend a half hour trying to figure out how to...
Whoa! Whoa! Ha! I get to ride it! Cool!
Didn't know that was possible.
Um...
So... where would the bonfire be?
Uh... oh, maybe if I, uh... if I raise it up and then hit the lever while I'm up there?
Hang on, no, no, let me, uh... no, no...
Ah, whoops. Well, okay, I guess we're going back up.
Interruption does not move, it's kinda what I thought.
Where's this bonfire you guys were talking about?
I mean, I don't... need it... anymore, but I'm... just curious now.
Where was this thing tucked away?
I mean, it was here, right? This is what you guys were...
Actually, maybe you guys were talking about a different thing.
Maybe you guys meant THIS... elevator... thing.
Well...
Thank you for watching!
I mean, I don't see anything back here...
Could this elevator be what you guys were talking about? Can I... can I walk down this?
Whoop! Can you let me on?
I mean, that would be kinda cool, but...
Looks like I don't think I can.
That's okay, that's probably very unsafe.
Oh, if I go higher...
Right?
Or was that where I was before?
No way, this is where I was before, right?
Man, I don't even know anymore!
Okay, no, as high as it goes. Okay!
So, since we got it at this height, let's check down below...
See if we can go someplace new when it's at this height...
Um...
Looks like a dead end... Yes!
Okay, so no, not at this height.
Let's try one height level down!
I gotta admit, this is almost as big of a pain as just having to run the little extra way from that other bonfire, so I'm...
Not 100% certain I'd have taken advantage of this even if I had found it.
Still, I just wanna know!
Okay, so that now leads to the...
Downstairs...
That leads to... nowhere? I think it leads to nowhere.
Let's... double-check...
Eh, there's a roof!
Eh, not close enough.
Okay, what about below?
Is this different?
Hey, so this is what you guys were talking about! Okay!
Found it!
Hooray!
Oh, and there's an item, so that's fun too!
Ooh, Ring of the Sun's First Born, I mean...
that's worth coming down here by itself. Let's check it out.
Doot doot doot doot dooo! Ah!
Lord Gwyn's firstborn, who inherited the sunlight, once wore this ancient ring.
Boosts the strength of miracles.
Lord Gwyn's firstborn was a god of war, but his foolishness led to a loss of the annals
and the rescinding of his deific status. Today, even his name is not known.
This character gets more interesting by the minute.
Well, at any rate... found a bonfire! That's fun.
I will never turn down a good bonfire.
All right! Movin' on!
Okay, so, next stop, the room in here with all the tables and the boxes and the whatever else.
Here, look. I did it, okay?!
In my defense, I don't think that's quite so obvious an illusory wall as some of you suggested.
Although, I will say, if I had not been quite so sleepy, this opening here would have given it away.
Because I did walk right past it and I kinda noticed it, but I didn't like, consciously think about what it meant.
Because you can see, through this hole here, that there is more room back there.
So, if I'd actually been thinking, would've found this earlier. But, didn't.
Here now, though, so that's okay.
Can do it now.
What do we got?
Anybody?
Anyone?
We good?
Yeah, it's big down here.
Okay, at least some of those are gonna be mimics.
There's no way you have that many chests and no mimics among them.
And it is...
not that one...
that one.
*sigh*
Actually, as long as we have it here - you guys said something - you guys said that there was some item I could use...
that would...
turn them into just regular chests. What was it?
Maybe it was...
Was it Lloyd's Talisman?
Hmm, let's try it...
for kicks.
Back you!
*chuckle* Oh my...
Well, it works!
It seems dead.
Or at the very least, kind of...
freaked out.
Can I hit it?
Okay, well now it's awake, but uh...
Okay, so that's a good useful trick, though, if I just want to not fight them for some reason.
And really, why would I want to do that? I might as well fight it.
They give a good number of souls.
Oof, probably don't want to get grabbed by these.
*whirring*
I can't see that being pleasant.
But! That's handled now, so yay!
Any others?
I think the rest of these are safe.
Looking at the chains...
I believe yes.
Open!
Dragon Tooth, nice.
Open!
Hafel's Greatshield, awesome!
Open!
*whirring*
Hafel's Helm and Armor, awesome!
This is just where Hafel kept his stuff!
That he wasn't wearing. His change of clothes. Hafel's spare clothes, that's what I got.
Sweet. You know what, I'm gonna put it on just for kicks. I'm not gonna actually wear it or use it, probably.
'Cause it's probably very heavy for me, but... gotta try it.
Yay! Look at me.
I am Hafel!
I'm not a very convincing Hafel. That's fun though. I'm glad I have it. Glad I came back.
Alright, now for our next objective. I still don't know if I'm going to bother trying to kill this guy, but I figured I'd come in...
Give it a quick shot. See what kind of damage I can do to him. Still very little.
Nope, still gonna chicken out. Scratch this objective, we're not doing it.
Oh yes, and I almost forgot! When I was grinding a little bit between episodes, just to... not really to level myself up, just to get the stuff I needed to level up the scythe here...
I stumbled across this corpse here, who happened to have this equipment. Which happens to be Lautrec's equipment. So that's probably him. And now I have his stuff. But... anyway, good riddance.
I'm curious to see if she says anything new, long as I'm here.
Huh, what's that?
What is that?
Weird.
Because this is Dark Souls, I'm sure that has some significance, but...
darned if I can figure out what.
Okay, now on to the main reason I came back here.
When I first arrived in Anor Londo, there was a very, very large painting...
that looked important, but I couldn't figure out what to do with it.
And so I gave up and I left.
Later on, in a completely unrelated adventure...
I went back to the Undead Asylum...
Excuse me, trying to talk.
I went back to the Undead Asylum...
went back to my...
original cell, I believe is where I found it...
and stumbled across...
a peculiar doll...
which I couldn't really figure out a reason for why that was.
Apparently the doll...
is the key to the painting...
and a whole other secret area that I didn't know about.
Because apparently, awesome, completely hidden secret areas...
is something Dark Souls has in spades.
Anyway, let me handle all these guys and then we'll go get a look at it.
Still kind of getting used to this scythe here, like...
I do like its damage output and I do like having this wider...
swing there, but it is...
especially for a dex weapon, it is slower than I would expect.
Not much worse than the halberd, though, really.
Okay...
let's see what's up with this.
Hmm...
[eerie music]
[laughing]
Are you serious now?
Whoa...
That is... cool. And they even start you out with the camera placed in a way that looks kinda like the framing of the, uh...
Ah, that's r- that's really cool.
Thank you guys for letting me know... that this was a thing, because, uh...
I would not have come back here and remembered to check that out. I never would have... made a connection between the, uh... doll... and this painting.
It's really cool. We haven't had an area with this sort of geography before.
Alright...
[footsteps]
Let us investigate this nonsense!
I keep... getting... Estus Flasks.
Ah!
Sorry, didn't see you.
My fault.
So that gold light is... receiving Estus Flasks.
For se- I'm getting 'em again! Why am I k- why do I keep getting 'em?
What am I doing?
Is this to do with my covenant, or is this to do with... I mean, I haven't left any, uh...
I haven't left any, like, messages...
Not since...
Geez, not since calling that guy... an undead...berg a liar, like, months ago.
It can't be that message.
I may not entirely understand how this system works.
Hm, before I open this, let me, uh... check around outside a little bit more.
[footsteps]
It's fun having a change of scenery!
And I am amazed at what they are willing to just completely tuck away and hide in a corner of the world so that people may never really find it.
That is really cool.
What was that flying? Whoa! Hey now. Easy does it everyone. That is a really cool looking tower. I expect that's where I'm headed.
Gah! What's going on?
What are you?
Gah!
You are something else entirely.
What?
That is... bloodborne feeling.
Whoa!
I beg your pardon.
Rude.
And ugly.
Go away. Toxic?!
Ah, that's not good.
Okay, um...
Actually, let's run back to the, uh...
Let's run back to the bonfire, go ahead and rest, and try not to let that happen again.
And as long as I'm here, let's just go ahead and check the door. Probably locked anyway.
Yep.
Curiosity satisfied.
Moving along!
Gonna have to be careful with those big...
abomination-y things.
I don't know how I got "toxicked." Was it just 'cause it bled on me when it blew up, or--oh!
Might be that.
That might have been the cause.
Oh crap, and here we go again!
Okay!
Watch it!
Gah!
Stop!
Stop it!
Don't do that!
Yeah, I need to figure out how to carefully... deal with these things.
Okay.
Get hit and die.
Die.
Alright, so it's that explosion of... blood stuff...
that caused it, then...
I think.
Thanks for watching!
Whatever the case, in the future I'm going to be trying to hit them from great distance and then getting right out of the way immediately.
What's up here?
More guys! Okay!
Swipe!
I like that move.
I can see why... people enjoy this scythe.
'Sup, buddy?
Hazardous.
Gotta step carefully.
What do we got here? Some item or a trap?
Item! Yay!
Whoa! Hey! Hey! Oh, you're the thing that flew!
You're new! I have not had the pleasure! Ah!
Don't be reckless with new things!
Use caution!
Eh! That's not caution.
Don't much care for you birdfolk.
You've made a lousy first impression. And boy, the frame rate!
That frame rate, though.
That's the crow sound from Bloodborne. Ha!
That's fun.
There's a lot more of them, though.
Got my work cut out for me out here.
Can I get over there or is that blocked off? Or maybe it's lower...
on the, uh...
Yeah, it's lower down. I don't think I can...
Uh...
I'll figure that out later.
Probably.
Okay, use caution. Watch out for abomination guys.
Sorry, I don't know what their actual names are...
but I feel like the label...
is fitting enough.
Am I hearing something?
Maybe it's me, I just...
That was a... little stare thing.
Yeah, I do always play with the volume kind of low, just so I, uh...
Oh, it's a rat. Okay. Rats are okay. I can live with rats, right?
Rats are fine.
Ha! Didn't know if that would work.
Hey, rat.
Sorry to invade... but you have an item, you see, and I want it.
All right. Back upstairs.
How would one get over here, I wonder?
Eh, didn't think that would work.
Mysteries.
Could I jump that? Maybe I could.
Nope, not quite.
One more try, but I don't think so.
Oh, kind of! Ah, that was really close!
Nope, wait, missed.
Ah, that's all right, I give up.
I'll figure out a different way, maybe.
Oop, archer...
Aeropath...
Danger... oof.
Any area that involves toxin is not one that I'm a big fan of.
Ah, hello.
Gents?
Hmm, this is not a good position for me.
This is very bad.
Okay, hit 'em and get back!
Repeat!
Repeat! Oh, get out!
Ah, too close! Crumbs!
Well, as long as I'm already toxic.
Might as well be too reckless.
There's one more of you. Oh you're dead. Okay, well, that works.
Should I use the item? Eh, let's go ahead and use the item.
All right. That was just the one item I had, though, unfortunately.
So, gonna have to, uh, be a little more careful. What is that going on down there?
Hmm.
Using caution? Going slowly? Nothing reckless? Egh.
I wonder if fire works on this type.
Hey, how do you feel about fire? Ah, you don't like it, then!
Hmm. I'm not good at throwing it, though, so if you could hold still...
that would... make... eh.
Rude.
Fire!
Fire again!
I'm still gonna get toxiced at this rate.
Yeesh.
Hmm. How to get over there?
Maybe this way. Eh, no.
Man, I want to figure out how to get to these places.
I mean, is it just tricky jumping? Just lots of tricky jumping?
Ah, hello.
Welcome.
Whoa, now.
I can't identify what that is exactly, but...
I know for a fact it is not good for me.
But I think next time...
I'm probably gonna end up finding out, so...
Thank you for watching, and thank you guys for helping me to find this place.
And, uh...
And we will see about...that...next time.
