AISubs v3.7
And welcome back, everyone!
Welcome to Dark Souls.
We're here hanging out with our new dragon buddy, who we...
joined at the expense of the Cat Clan, who I'm sure...
will be just fine with it.
Before I leave here, it occurred to me that I should actually look at these items that this huge dragon thing just gave me.
The Dragon Eye...
Online play item. Find a player who has acquired a dragon scale and invade that player's world to pillage it.
An art of the transcendent apostles who pray to the ancient dragons. To be alive is to be vulnerable, and the fiery gods are no exception.
The apostles seek another plane of existence which transcends life.
Wow.
Dragon head stone. Stone imbued with the power of dragons. Rite of apostles of the ancient dragons.
Gain head of dragon. Emit dragon breath.
Those sound good.
The dragon apostles seek transcendence of life itself, attainable by transformation into an ancient dragon.
This rite is only one step, but it cannot be reversed until death.
That... sounds amazing, but also like the kind of thing that I'm scared to use 'cause it seems like a "one and then done" kind of a thing.
That seems really cool, though.
But, looking at this Dragon Eye, it seems that I've joined another PVP-centric covenant.
Which is a shame, 'cause I don't really have a lot of interest in that, but...
I mean...
When there's a huge dragon inviting you... you don't say no.
At least, not until you get very, very far away.
Let's warp.
Let's warp to... uh...
Where am I going?
No, let's just warp to Anor Londo.
And we're off!
Yes, I am quite ready to start progressing further into Anor Londo.
Ooh, I just... had a thought.
Some of you guys were saying that there was something cool I could do here...
that I... didn't do.
It... it actually sounds like there's a lot of stuff that I'm missing...
out here in Anor Londo, just because I... don't know where it all is...
and apparently there are some illusory walls around... somewhere?
I don't know.
I do recall somebody saying that, uh...
I do recall somebody saying that, um...
One could wear a certain ring when... okay.
Man, do I have to go all the way through there?
That... is sad. That is a shame.
You know what, screw it. I'm gonna cheat and I'm gonna warp over to the goddess' room and come at it from the other side.
Be right back with you guys.
Alright, here we go.
This is the side that has the switch!
Kinda wish the other side had a switch.
Maybe it does have a switch, maybe I just didn't see it.
In which case, this has been a long, silly trip.
But... it's okay!
Okay, so we're back down here at the little secret, hidden bonfire room...
...that you guys pointed me to earlier.
And somebody was saying that...
...if I equip a ring in here, something will happen.
I think it was... which one was it?
This one! Darkmoon Seance Ring.
Granted to the inheritance of Gwyndolin, Darkmoon deity and lastborn of Gwyn, lord of sunlight.
Grants additional magic attunement slots.
The only remaining deity in Anor Londo.
His followers are few, but their tasks are of vital importance.
Interesting, okay.
Um... wait, no... equip! It's gotta be over... in this menu.
Uh... b-b-b... here!
Ooh!
Interesting
What awaits?
Umm...
To be continued
I don't mean to be rude, but... where are you?
Uh...
Is there a "kneel" button... nowhere?
Oh, okay. Kneel.
A blade that shall hunt the foes of our lords.
Then I shalt protect thee,
safeguarding thy person with the power of the dark moon.
You know, I've been feeling it was time for a change. Yeah.
Was getting tired of that old covenant.
I'd had it for all of... ten minutes.
"Blue eye orb," "dark moon," "blade," "covenant ring"
Sure, I'll throw it in the pile.
Very well.
Now thou art a blade of the dark moon.
Cool.
Hunteth the enemies of the lords,
by the power of the dark sun.
There's another PVP covenant, isn't it?
Yeah...
So, can I come in here, or, um...
Is that, like...
frowned upon?
Don't go on in.
What foolishness!
Why would a blade of the dark moon trespasseth upon the great lord's tomb?
Mark the words of mine self, Gwyndolin.
Thou shalt not go unpunished!
I mean, I believe you!
I guess I really wasn't wanting to pick a fight, ultimately.
I don't know why I got all antagonistic there.
Eh.
Eh, alright, well...
This is what's happening, this is what's happening.
Whoa!
Oh, okay, that's what was happening.
Projectiles.
Okay, boop.
Use cover, use cover!
You were an interesting looking one.
Hey, no, don't go away.
We were just fighting.
Ow!
Yeah, I didn't really expect a hidden boss fight back here.
I'm going to have to start following you guys' directives with more caution.
Ow!
No, don't go away!
This is... a pain... already.
Oh, I hit her!
Whoa! Okay.
This fight's not going well for me.
This is gonna be a long fight. Well, actually, no it won't, 'cause I don't have tons of health.
Or tons of flasks, rather - ow!
Ow, okay, yeah.
[mysterious music]
Can I survive?
Eh, not that way.
Ahhh, well...
that's only fair.
Now here's the question, do I go back in and try to fight again?
Let me check the description on that ring again, this is...
This is interesting.
I can't tell if this is a person I should be...
like, a person who deserves attacking, if that makes sense.
Now let me...
go ahead and kindle this thing, 'cause I clearly need to kindle this thing a few times.
Ooh, that's burning rather nice and bright.
I like it.
I don't know, I don't know, I'm really curious now...
now that I've found this thing.
Well, I can't kneel anymore.
I guess we're way past that point.
Alright, let's, uh...
let's give it another go.
Ow.
Ah.
Can I block any of this?
Whoa!
All right, I need to watch out for that.
Aaaah, not doing well, not doing well!
Whew!
All right.
That was a bad little stretch of action. Let's see if I can, uh, do a bit better here.
Ow! Stop! No!
Crumbs.
All right.
Ugh!
Agh, I'm not moving fast enough!
Ow!
[laughs] This is so pathetic!
Ugh, alright.
Agh, I hate that big one.
That is the worst.
Oh, I can't block that as well as I thought! [laughs]
Ugh...
I'm gonna figure this out. I'm gonna make it work.
All right, take it slow...ish.
All right, that was a good one...more of that
All right, figuring it out, figuring it out
So watch out for the little ones...
If she elevates like that, then she's gonna shoot these little arrows at me
Ehhh...
Yeah! Got a couple hits in. Oh great, this is going well
Man, I hope this is a person that I should be attacking
Oops, wrong button
I'm gonna feel really bad...
If I found the one person in Dark Souls...
Well, no, not the only person, but...
One of the few people in Dark Souls who...deserves to be living...
And isn't a jerk
Ow!
I don't know, my point is...
I hope this isn't a good person
To be fair, not a lot of good persons have snake feet...
In my experience...I don't know
Thanks for watching!
Nyeh
Getting a feel for the pattern
Nnnnyyyya!
Bam! Yeah!
Oh, I hope this is good
Uh-oh
Not a literal one, I hope
Thanks for watching!
Ah, hell
I hope this is okay
So much of Dark Souls lore is still just a complete mystery to me.
And it's very possible I am doing something terrible and just don't know it.
It's a very large tube.
Well, that's pretty cool.
Still, though...
I feel a sense of great unease.
like I've made some sort of mistake.
And maybe I haven't. Maybe I've actually taken out somebody terrible. I don't know.
But, uh...
Yeah, hard to shake the feeling.
Well, anyway, no reason to be glum.
We have business out here in Anor Londo.
Non-murdery business.
Well... partially murdery business.
I mean...
Most places I go, I end up killing things, so I can only assume that...
that pattern will continue, but...
that's not my main reason for going there - well, no, I guess, technically, I'm supposed to be...
getting the soul of Cethys Galus, so I am there to murder somebody. Great!
Granted, I don't entirely know where the Duke's archives are...
just that they are up here in Anor Londo and...
Uh...
The bonfire... guardian, or whatever her name was...
mentioned something about it. Maybe I should talk to her again.
So I've probably been kicked out of that covenant, right?
I feel like murder of your superior...
is...
probably grounds for...
Aw, crap!
Man... I knew I'd made a mistake.
That makes me sad.
Well...
I guess that's what I get.
I don't really want to fight this person, either.
Can I just leave you be?
Man...
I suppose this is also what I get for listening to you people.
Uh... oh well.
We made our decision.
[laughs]
Well...
This fight may be no simple matter.
Uh, yeah.
Man, this episode kinda turned into a bummer, huh?
But how?
- This... - I'm sorry.
...is a threat, Master Gwyndolin.
Ugh, I feel terrible.
In general.
I wonder...
Yeah. Man, I just... I feel really bad now. It's okay, though. We do have other things out here to do, still.
And this kinda goes to also show the... just like, how varied Dark Souls playthroughs can be.
It seems the different bosses you fight or the different people you decide to attack can... lead to pretty different outcomes.
So... how to get...
Yeah. Alright, well...
Everyone's mad at me now.
Can I sneak through here? You mind?
[laughs]
Don't mind me. Just gonna head up this way.
Uh-oh. This is different.
Weakness pyromancy, weakness magic.
Oh, it's another boar. Okay.
No one's still chasing me, right? Okay.
Hmm...
So it's weakness is fire... I'm just gonna have to figure out how to... get around it.
Or just not get... completely wiped out by it when it comes after me here.
Ehhh, that's not that great.
Huh...
Yeah, this is gonna take a while.
Yeah, I just had this horrible feeling that I've just-- I've turned into the villain of this story.
And that is a bad feeling.
Man, this thing is armored.
I guess I can try using the fire again.
Yeah, it's a little better.
Almost gotcha.
Ow.
Gotcha! Whew!
Okay.
Forward...
I think.
So I assume this must be the archives.
I mean, I assume.
Really? Another one?
How ignorable are you? Cause I don't have any fire left.
I'm gonna see what happens if I try to ignore you, is that okay?
Alright, I can't use that.
Alright, I guess I gotta fight you.
I do have some firebombs on me, maybe I should try those.
Okay, that's weak.
Ow.
Reckless. Reckless.
Yeah, I deserve that.
I deserve everything.
I feel so bad. I feel bad.
So, okay, so...
If it turns out that I've actually not made a huge mistake here, and that it's...
like, not as bad as it feels like to me, then apologies for making such a big deal out of it.
But, uh...
If it is actually as big a mistake as it feels like right now,
then apologies to everybody watching who knows what's going on and...
Yeah.
Uh...
Oh, man.
Well...
This has been eventful.
And, uh, we'll, uh...
See about those archives and boars and all that stuff...
Uh, next time.
Goodbye!
Do I have a wave? Do I have a...
Goodbye, everyone!
