AISubs v3.7
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to SideQuest!
And Dark Souls and the Demon Ruins, which...
I mean, it's nice being someplace orange, right?
Anyway...
This will probably be the last one I try to record tonight, as it's a bit late.
I've been playing for a few hours now and it had already been a pretty long day, so...
A bit tired! Hopefully that doesn't affect performance, but...
Why would that happen?
Hello.
Okay. No, see? We're doing fine.
Nothing to worry about.
I've decided against testing the lava with my feet, because...
I mean...
Feels like I shouldn't have to explain that, but...
There it is.
I haven't seen these guys do an attack yet, but I kinda don't want to.
And it looks like I won't, so...
There you go.
All right, let's see if we can...
There we go.
I sense I'm a little bit... overpowered for this.
Oh, there's a worm.
Don't feel like I saw you before.
Hmm, which direction to head first?
Let's... start this way.
Seems a little precarious, what with the narrow footing, but...
Should be fine.
There we go, okay.
Are these guys all Taurus Demons and I guess Capra Demons? Is that what the other guys are?
That's kind of fun.
Alright. Mind if I get by you? Worm?
Is that okay?
Just be cool, man.
Hello!
Ah, so many directions. Okay, let's start this way and fight...
Yeah, I mean, that is a caprydemon, right? Slightly smaller one?
Well you guys used to be a lot scarier
I guess that's back when you had dogs
You guys should keep dogs, you'd be intimidating again
I don't know what's up here, other than the fog door which I'm not gonna run into just yet
Ooh, ooh
Raise the sun you say?
Okay, I got too many directions I could go here, hang on
I am overwhelmed with choice
So let's start narrowing the field, let's start investigating these directions one by one
So I went that way
There's a worm there who I'm not gonna...
Well, eh, maybe I can deal with it
Let's see what can be done about the worm
Yeah... unpleasant
What are you gonna do, worm?
Oh... well...
I guess you're just gonna die... I mean... that's fine
Not a whole lot to do here, though
I see I have wasted my time
Um... alright, let's go... this way first
See what's up
There's another Taurus demon
Eh... not very good place to be fighting one
Not at all
Maybe I can kill him quickly
Okay, yes!
Really glad I can two-shot these guys
When I'm two-handing this thing 'cause otherwise...
That would've been messy
Alright, what else we got?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Thank you, message.
Get outta here, worm. No one likes you.
I'm gonna hitcha.
Ow!
You do hit hard. I'll give you that.
But now I'm gonna kill you, so goodbye.
So there's lots of little individual worm attacks I'm getting.
Is the boss I eventually run into gonna be... like...
Yeah! Two of 'em! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! That is a...
That is an ambush, holy cow! Weapon at risk!
That's very bad.
Very bad indeed.
Weapon at risk, wow!
Guess we're changing weapon for a bit here.
Alright.
You got this, sidesword.
Let's take care of business!
Ow! Okay, that's bad.
That's...not good for me. Not good overall. Let me go! Let me out! Let me out! Stop!
Eesh!
Worms...
One of my triggers on my controller is kind of squeaky. Did you hear?
Guess I have had it a while.
Yep.
Ah, okay.
Where's the other one? Yep, yep, okay.
Ah, nuts! Broke him? That's bad.
I don't know what broke. I guess it's probably the bow, huh? Or something.
If it doesn't mean they're like permanently gone or unusable, that would be...that would be tragic.
All right, Iaito, you and me...
Wait, weapons are dropping like flies here.
And is that a mimic after all this?
I can't actually tell.
Okay, good, it's not. That would have been mean.
Large flame ember, that's nice at least.
I mean, right?
It's good.
Alright, let's make our way back to the bonfire and try to repair all this junk.
Alright, we're back in business. Got everything repaired.
Got the bonfire kindled up a bit.
Yeah, I think we're gonna work with this.
Is there something up here that I didn't investigate?
Suddenly I feel like I skipped something.
Being sneaky, but nope, don't say anything.
Okay, fair enough.
Just wanted to check.
Oh, don't know how I didn't see this before.
Is that a... oh, is that another worm?
Maybe it's a dead one, I don't know, but...
Get away.
Ooh, so that's what you do.
Spitters of fire, very well.
That's on theme.
Bonk.
And... bop.
Alright.
And now you...
Gotcha.
Alright.
So, I have now investigated that direction, no need to go there.
I have... oh, I figured...
the worm would be gone, but... okay.
Um...
Okay, I've gone that direction...
haven't gone and thoroughly explored this direction, so let's do that next.
At least... oh, maybe I did. Maybe...
maybe there's just nothing here.
There was some other direction up here that...
I needed to explore. Maybe it was this way.
No?
What was I thinking of?
Yeah, I guess this is all that's left. Okay.
Although, there is a branching path here.
[footsteps]
I guess I owe it to myself to at least...
poke around down here.
Right? Uh, well, no.
That's just kind of a drop. I can't...
Hmm.
If I drop down there, I don't think I can get back--
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I can go this way. Okay.
Exploration can happen.
This is good.
So I have an item over there.
Kind of want to see what's at the end of this long...
...path, but...
...maybe that's a waste of time.
Always worth checking. Always worth checking in Dark Souls.
But, yeah, in Dark Souls sometimes...
...the thing you decide to check...
...does turn out to be a waste of time. Okay.
Further downward...
...walking down the route...
...seeing what else we got.
It's not all fiery down here anymore. I like it.
Does this mean I'm heading into a different...
...zone...now?
What does this mean?
Yeah, I guess that's the end of this path. Alright.
So...what is ahead?
Alright...
[footsteps]
Ugh...
Bug...things? Okay.
Hopping around.
What's going on here with the bug things?
What's going on with this?
They seem to be just avoiding me.
Locked by some contraption.
Interesting.
So I guess I can't...
get through here?
Or I can't yet.
Maybe that will turn out to be some handy shortcut eventually.
Not sure where to, though.
What does this architecture look most similar to?
It's kinda hard to tell.
Yeah, I wonder where that would... take me.
Well, anyway...
Guess it's time for this!
We can handle it.
Whatever it...
Oh, no.
[laughs]
I may have been completely wrong.
Another one of these things, and it's on... super fire.
[laughs]
Ugh, we can do it. We can do it. We... we can do it!
We can do it.
Ow!
It's fine.
It's... fine.
I have fought two of you before.
You are no different.
I know your moves, I know your tricks.
Don't know your fire, but the rest of it...
it's... what?
It's... that's different.
Okay, that's a new move. [laughs]
I didn't know that move.
Ah! That's different.
I don't like it.
Okay, so it's a...
magic explosion that happens...
Ow.
It kind of just in front of it in general...
Ow! Stop it!
That is annoying. I was trying to say obnoxious and annoying at the same time. It is both things, to be fair.
I need to move, I think. I don't know what happened there, but it seemed like it would be bad.
Keep hitting it in the butt. This I can do.
What happened here?
[chuckle]
I'm too busy running away to stop and look. Ah!
Keep hitting 'em!
Okay, so just another magic explosion, I guess.
Ow!
Alright, we got this, though. We're getting 'em.
Ow!
Ah! Ow! Okay, don't die! We're...
Ah! Aww!
I thought I could get the drink down before he swung again.
Poor decision on my part. Entirely my fault.
We'll get 'em next time.
It's not all that bad.
If I hadn't already invested so much in this Black Knight shield...
I would consider...
swapping for the Crest shield or whatever the...
whatever the shield was I got that...
before fighting the other big demon guy...
that blocked magic damage so well.
[footsteps]
Maybe I should try using this on the magic, though. I...
didn't really give that a...
fair shake.
Fire? Yikes. Watch out for the fire.
Okay.
At least this boss has a nice, close-by bonfire.
That... I can appreciate.
Alright you, round two. We got this.
Can I block it?
Eh, not very well.
I can kind of vlog it, though. That's...
better than nothing.
Eh, maybe there's no point in locking on to him.
Agh! Boy, that hurts a lot!
Agh! Come on!
That's gonna hurt. Yep, yep, it did, it did.
Can I get away in time? That's the question now!
Yikes.
Ah, what was that? Wasn't even close.
All right, we got him down to half health, though. We're doing okay.
As long as we're more careful than that. Ah! Come on, now!
Very poor play on my part.
Ah! Okay, it felt like... it felt like I was out of reach of that, but...
All right, you're the boss. It's fine.
Staying near him seems to help.
Get in, tag him when you can.
Ow. Almost got him, though. Come on.
Don't get reckless, but I mean come on.
There we go!
That was close, but I got him.
Oof! Heal, quickly!
Thank you for the humanity.
Demons catalyst. That would be great, I guess, if I...
did the spells.
So...
I guess a smart thing to do right at this moment would be to run back and heal, but...
I'm curious.
Ah, I don't need to. I've got plenty of Estus. I'm fine.
I'll use the heal spell...
and then proceed.
Ooh, so there's an up and there's a down.
Interesting.
Oh, where should I be going first?
Ah, fire.
'Scuse me.
Maybe I should have checked downstairs first.
This seems important.
Oh, man.
I think there's a lot going on here in general.
I guess I shouldn't have done that, but that's fine.
Okay.
I mean, the stuff going on upstairs seemed kind of major and significant, but it wasn't a fog door, so let's...
Let me investigate...
Agh, I don't know what to do first!
I'm so torn. Okay.
No, I'm going through the fog door. Just gonna see what's happening.
What awaits... I mean it can't be another boss right away. Surely not.
Just fought one.
Well, here we go!
Oh...
Okay...
That's a little worse seeming than the...
...than the demon.
That's... that's bad.
Yeah, I'm a little, uh...
A little not sure of this.
Ow!
Yeah!
Ow!
This guy is big.
Oh, orange charred ring. That seems... maybe useful?
Ow, that hurts a lot... very much... very much...
Please don't kill me... oh, I... the, uh... stepped in the lava.
Well, now we know what the lava does... anyway.
So let's see about that ring...
Seems important that we got that... right when we did.
"Reduces lava damage"; doesn't... get rid of it.
An orange ring enchanted by a witch reduces lava damage.
Since his swords were inflamed by lava from birth, his witch sisters gave him this special ring.
But, fooled that he is, he readily dropped it, and from that spot, a terrible centipede demon was born.
Ooh... very interesting.
Well, we should probably wear this.
And I guess we should give this another shot, huh?
See if we have a little better luck.
Still a little curious what was going on upstairs, but...
not really sure which is more important to do first.
Alright, let's give this another shot. How much does lava hurt?
Uh... oh, just... barely at all. That's good.
That's very good.
Okay.
I can deal with this.
It'll be bad... like that, but...
I can manage.
(wind blowing)
- Ow.
Guess I should get out of the lava. I shouldn't just stay here.
Ow.
I am very on fire.
That is quite a design, though, I will give 'em that.
Ah, I got a tail, cool!
Ah.
Where's it going?
Where'd he go?
Okay.
Where's it goin' now?
Okay.
This is goin' well. We're gettin' 'em.
Not with... poor play like that, of course, but...
on the whole... ah, ow.
I was gonna say this is going okay, but it's...
at this point, going much less, so...
He's not 'em, he's not 'em, he's not 'em, he's not 'em, he's not 'em, okay, there.
Now, things are a little better. Now we can finish 'em off, I think.
Okay, unless something really bad happens...
and it kinda did, but... we got 'em.
Got him.
Oof, boy, I am... I am stressed out.
That was stressful.
Well, there's another boss, then.
This is going well.
Whew, baby.
This really drains you.
Huh, wonder what this corpse is doing down here.
I feel like I shouldn't push much further, given I do have a whole lot of souls here.
Two bosses worth.
Was this boss just entirely optional or what? Is it like...
It might have been.
Yeah, maybe this boss was not necessary.
Cool, though. I mean, and the ring is super handy. Like, I can go fetch more items with this.
And that was a pretty cool looking boss.
Gotta say.
So, glad I did in fact come down here.
But that means it's time to check out what's going on up the stairs, and...
I'm tempted to do it in the next episode, but you know what? Let's just go look. Let's just go see.
I gotta get it.
What's the item? What's this?
Alright, cool.
But no, let's see what's up the stairs before we finish the episode.
I think we've beaten two bosses. I think we've earned ourselves...
I can't form sentences anymore. I'm starting to get tired.
But we're gonna see what's up those stairs.
Have we...gotten...the...soul we need for the Lord Vessel yet?
I guess I should check that, 'cause we may not have yet.
Alright, we got...the Lord's soul from Nito...
we got the soul of the Four Kings...
we got the soul from Seath...
we've not gotten a soul down here.
Which means...despite the fact that we have fought...two bosses in a row...
we haven't fought the right boss.
So now I guess it's time to see what's going on up here.
Hmm...
I mean, I guess they want me to stand on that platform. I'm just...
trying to see what else we got...
in the area.
If I stand here, what happens? Do they just...
all try to set fire to me?
No?
Ah! What's happening?
Oh.
I guess now I go up.
Okay.
Oh! That's nice!
That's very nice!
Very nice indeed!
I mean...
Yeah, I mean, I guess I might as well use this bonfire now. I've, uh...
kindled it at least once, so...
better than the one I last rested at down there.
All right, let's go back down, then, and...
continue onward.
I want to at least see if...
continuing onward takes me to, like...
a story bit and then the end of that...
and then the end of this whole zone thing here, or...
if there's, like, more...
level to fight and more stuff to do.
'Cause if there's more stuff, then I'll...
Wait.
I've been here. What...
I'm confused.
So...
I thought there was another...
I mean, was there not another soul shard I was supposed to get down here? Maybe I got 'em all.
Maybe it was just Nito, the Four Kings, and Seath.
But I thought there was...
I thought there was another reason to come down here, but maybe there wasn't.
Maybe I actually did it all.
'Cause this...
And I've been here, right? I think.
Yeah, let's see.
But yeah, this is, uh...
Yeah, this is where I fought the guy, the, uh...
Or is it?
Ah, I'm all turned around now.
Yeah, sorry, I guess this is a little anticlimactic overall, but, uh...
I guess I did it, so yay!
I will, uh...
I will look up to make absolutely sure that there's not something else down here that I'm supposed to do.
But, uh...
If not, then...
Huzzah!
We did it.
Good job, team.
Okay, I just looked it up.
There is more for me to do down here.
I don't entirely know what or where to go, but there definitely is more for me to do.
So!
We will be doing more of this... next time, so...
Yeah...
I'm gonna... go to sleep.
