AISubs v3.7
Hello everybody and welcome back to Dark Souls!
Good to see you!
I've changed weapons, by the way. I'm switching to one of my other +10 dexterity weapons 'cause, yeah, I gotta try these things out.
So this is the... what is it? Painting Guardian Sword. A scimitar-type weapon if I--oops--if I remember correctly? Curved sword type. Okay.
It is a rather short one in length, but the reason I leveled this one up is because I understand that it can be upgraded and changed into a pretty rad-looking one using Quelaag's soul.
Don't know how or where to do that, but may end up doing that eventually.
We shall see. Anyhow, let's press onward...
...into these archives.
Am I even in the archives? I was just kind of in jail for a while.
Maybe I'm back to the archives now.
This looks archivey.
Ah!
Oh, nuts. Oh, there's two of them! That's bad.
We'll figure it out.
No dancing.
No dancing on my watch!
Eh...
Okay, he warped away. That's alright.
Is that still him? I hope that's still him.
Ha! Dodge.
Alright, it's not too bad.
Whoa! Ah, they're singing up on me. I'm being reckless.
I shouldn't be reckless.
That's dangerous.
Ah, what am I doing? That's--
[laughs]
Uh...
Overconfident.
For shame.
Yeah, I've got no excuse for that. That was just poor play.
Yeah, still kind of figuring this Painter/Guardian/Painting/Guardian sword, whatever its title is—oh, I thought I killed you.
Ah, you're dead now.
That felt good.
Hmm...
Think I can walk around to that guy if I go this direction.
Let's take care of him first, if possible.
Oop, nope.
I was wrong.
Ow.
I'm being a little reckless, but I'm also kind of not used to this weapon and not sure I'm loving it, at least not in its current form.
Maybe I will get it upgraded later to that cool scimitar that it turns into and try it again then.
Until then, let's...I don't know, let's try out the katana style with the iaito.
This katana is pretty sweet, I must admit.
Hard to say if I like it better than the balder's sidesword, but...
it's got its charm.
I'm gonna rush him.
Then the other guy... there he is.
Anyone else?
And I've been doing a lot of R1 spamming with all of my weapons, honestly.
Seems like you really need to spend some time with each one to kinda...
get a feel for their moveset and uh...
learn how to use them optimally.
Which is cool, I mean I like that there is...
depth to this weapon system like that.
Hmm.
Ah, wait.
Someone shooting at me?
Oh, it's you.
I will try turning that handle a bit later. Let me see what's up here first.
Ah, there's another archer. Stop it!
You're not obnoxious like the Anor Londo archers, I'll give you that.
Still kind of annoying, though.
Man, this place is big. Whoa!
And we're turning around. Okay.
Oh, nice!
That's actually even simpler.
I thought we were gonna be in a situation where I was raising and lowering and...
all that, but just rotating around, that's...
that's pretty simple. I can live with that.
What else can I get to over here?
Not much.
I'm a little worried about, uh, finding Seath again, 'cause I didn't last very long that first time.
He took me out pretty quick.
Nyah! Jump! Ah, good. Okay, I was hoping that it worked the way I assumed.
Alright, let's rush him.
You... have been annoying! Don't run away! Don't run away! Don't ru-- ow...
Alright, well, where'd you go?
Jerk. Don't make me spin this around and come up there.
And definitely don't shoot me with that.
Ha! There you go.
Well, that takes care of that.
Let's spin this around so I can go... see what's over there.
Ooh
Alright, I got several directions I need to check out in this room
and hopefully I can keep my bearings and not miss any of them
Ooh, what do we got?
Cool
I think I'm too low in intelligence or whatever stats to make use of sorceries, but...
I guess I have it.
What do we got over here?
Oh, I just remembered. Sorry, random thing.
So...oh, hang on.
So, there's an item I need to get in these archives,
which is going to be necessary to get into the DLC, I think?
Into the DLC zones?
And I realized that I missed that item on my way in here.
I will go back and get that, if at all possible,
once I'm able to get back to that area.
So, rest assured, it's not forgotten.
I will get it.
Hmm, should I go through that fog door, or should I go this way first?
Let's go this way first.
Fog doors...
have such...
like...
permanence to them.
Sometimes, walking through a fog door is a decision you can't take back...
as experience has...
recently taught me very well.
What else we got down here?
And what does that lever do?
Does it open this?
Let's check this first.
Ooh, that looks cool. Oh, I look like one of those dancing guys I've been taking out, if I wear that.
That's pretty sweet.
What do we got in here?
There's just all kinds of nice, cool stuff down here. A crystal ember! Wow, I'm just finding all sorts of rad things.
This is a great room. More rooms should be like this.
Archive tower, giant cell key. Awesome!
I bet this becomes stairs. I bet that totally becomes stairs. Eh, wait...
Nnnno!
Wait... I mean to say... No! There we go!
You and your ridiculous... trying to kill me!
None of that!
Hah!
Darn you guys are ugly
There we go, OK
That takes care of the mimic
What did you have?
"Symbol of avarice" Wait...
And an enchanted falcon, nice!
This symbol of avarice, it would not happen to be...
"...a hat, would it?" Oh my
Monster head resembling a treasure chest
Once an ancient god, it is said this is the symbol of shame imposed on a long-lost clan
and exiled for the sin of avarice
Wearing this slightly raises soul absorption and item discovery
but also affects its wearer with the Curse of the Branded
It sounds intense
I don't know what the Curse of the Branded is, it sounds familiar though
I'm not gonna wear it right now, but...
It's a cool thing to have, maybe I will eventually
Are you gonna become stairs? I really am wanting to see if you become stairs
And...
Yay! Stairs!
Into...
Whatever this is
This room looks like it's seen better days.
Oh, another fog door.
We've got some options.
Prism Stone. I'll have to see what that does later.
Yeah, is this just somebody's abandoned storage closet where they just dump, I guess, all the old gears that don't work?
Alright, so I can walk through this, right?
Yes, I can. Okay, so...
Hmm...eeny, meeny, miny, moe...which one to go through?
Let's...check out that other one first.
I did run into it...earlier.
Actually, let's see what this does first. There's so many things to try!
What's happening? Whoa!
Ooh! Did I just open up a shortcut of some sort?
Where is this?
Where...am I?
This looks new.
Or does it? No, wait! I've been here!
I think I've...have I been here?
I dunno.
Here's a bonfire, though.
And that is always good.
Need night.
Ugh, I've got so many directions to go and things to look at.
Not sure where to go first.
Did I hear something?
I'm definitely hearing something.
Ah, hello.
Oh, right, I rested.
Ah, hello.
I'm hearing that magic again. Is he higher up? Oh, okay, so I'm further below...
...uh, that rotating staircase now, which is why I'm hearing magic from the...
...dancing guy. I need to figure out what their actual names are.
But until then, dancing guy...
...dancing guy...
...none of that.
You just get back to dancing.
Thank you for watching!
Wait...
Ow! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Alright, I got hit by a combination of things, I think.
Alright, I need to choose which direction to head now.
Alright, I'm gonna head all the way back and upstairs...
...to that other fog door.
That first one, the first fog door I found.
And I'm gonna check that out first.
O-eh...
If I can, this might...
I might die trying to get back up.
All right, let's run ourselves over there... if we can.
Is that a fog door or is that just... like, outside?
I cannot tell.
Oh, hey! Look who came along for the trip!
Oh gosh, there's two of you.
Die! Don't get away!
Ah, fine. Whatever.
All right, are you a fog d--
No, you're just outside. Okay.
I feel silly now.
Well, let's see what's out here.
This is where I came from.
I feel... really silly now.
[laughs]
Very silly.
And now I'm getting shot...
for my silliness.
Well, at least we know now.
All right, let's scoot back down there.
And this time...
let's investigate...
Actually, no. Fog doors are a commitment.
Let's first check all the other options.
That fog door will be there when we are ready for it.
And I feel like...
I've checked out a lot of the stuff around here, so...
we'll just see the last little remainder...
and then we'll come back for that.
Trying to figure out the layout of this area.
It is... pretty easy to get turned around.
But...
now I feel pretty satisfied...
with what I've seen of the upstairs here.
I think.
Actually, just to play it safe, let's check this direction first, too.
So which one is this? What room am I in?
This is back toward the entrance, isn't it?
Or is it?
This place is a tangled web.
Okay.
Think that's all the archers.
If I'm back down where I think I am, and I may be very wrong,
but if this is where I think...
Oh gosh, there's a lot.
Oh, I should have attacked him earlier before he buffed everybody.
This was a mistake.
Let's go take him out.
Okay, ah, he's running again, great.
Where'd he go?
Oh, he's right here.
Ah, don't get hit. Jeez, they're strong.
Alright, there's one of 'em.
And this guy is not buffed anymore. Great.
That's exactly what I was hoping for.
Alright.
The reason I'm heading this direction, despite all of these enemies, is I believe...
this takes me back to the entrance of the archives.
Which is something I want, because that is where the item I missed for the DLC... stuff... is.
If I'm correct.
And I hope I am.
Let's see if we can fight these guys one at a time...
This is looking a lot like that entrance, which is good!
And that looks like the shadow of the particular enemy that I needed to deal with.
Lookin' up!
Oops!
Well, that didn't work out as well as I'd hoped. That's okay.
What does fire do against these guys?
Oops, that's not fire.
[footsteps]
I'm just kinda curious. Fire!
[explosion]
Oh, it does very well! It's good to know!
If I had a fire-type weapon, I bet I could tear these guys to shreds.
Okay.
I believe...
No one else here?
We safe?
More or less? Okay, good.
I believe THIS is the enemy I need to take out...
to get the item...
to access the DLC area.
Whoa! Didn't know that was a thing he could do. Good to know.
Okay.
There we go. Broken Pendant, that's the one.
Okay, glad to have that checked off the list.
With that, and with having spoken with the Lady of Oolacile out in Darkroot, out in the water,
I believe I've done everything I need to be able to access the area.
So I think if I go to Darkroot from here...
and I don't know if I'll go right into the DLC content from here, there may be one or two other zones I visit first, but...
I think I can get there now, which is great, 'cause I've heard good things.
Sounds like a fun place to visit.
So now that we've satisfied our curiosity here, let me kindle this a couple times...
get my Estus back, and before we end the episode, I will go check out what's through that fog door.
Allllllright.
I believe it was through here...
and down some stairs...
and we'll take out this enemy here...
[fighting noises]
And there's the door. Ooh, what do you got?
Crystal Straightsword, cool!
Can't repair those, as I understand it.
All right. Forward!
Uh-oh.
What?!
Oh, okay, there's a ladder. I was about to say!
Um... oh! There's a...
golden crystal giant out here!
Or golem. Are they golems? Or giants? I don't know.
Oh, hello!
Ah! You guys are awful stealthy for being so big.
Okay.
Assuming none of you others are trying to sneak up on me now...
I think this is a fine time and place to end the episode, 'cause clearly we've got a little bit of wandering around and exploring to do.
Bye!
