AISubs v3.7
Hey everybody, how's it going?
"What am I up to?" you ask?
Oh, not much
Just going to explore some scary poison woods
Won't you come with?
All right
Let's see what we're in for here
Well we got lots of these guys, so...
that's something
One of them has fire, that's no good, can't have that, hey!
So they're green colored, but these guys are basically the hollows from Dark Souls 1
And actually, given that the hollowed state is now...
signified by a greenish color, that kind of makes sense...
that they would look that way
So we've gotten one of the four Great Souls we need...
to, uh...gain access to King Vendrick
That's exciting
That's like 25% progress! Hello
[footsteps]
Let's see, soul of the undead, small orange burr...can't complain!
Gonna get ambushed by these two while I'm on the bridge, no doubt!
Visions of sadness? Why sadness?
Oh my!
What...are you?
Those look awesome...
but I am not interested in getting hit by them
Yeesh!
You're intense!
Ah, whiff!
Can I get a backstab? Nope!
Wow, you are...quite the...
intimidating-looking enemy
So, uh...
Are you guys gonna attack me or what?
Guess not.
There's an item up there. How did I not...
Eh, maybe I can get there later.
Okay...
Ah! Poison, poison!
Butterfly, come on!
Eh...
Poison...
Don't like.
Ah! Hey!
I'm preoccupied here!
Prisoner's gloves, cool.
So...
I guess I have to find out...
What happens if you shoot a butterfly.
Normally not something I'd consider doing, but...
This one is threatening to poison me, so...
Sorry, butterfly.
Poison moss? Oh.
I am rewarded...
For this behavior.
Well in that case...
All righty, then.
I will have to keep an eye overhead from here on.
Hey, another one of you...
with the sunshields.
Not sure how to get in there...
but uh...
you and I will have words later.
Someday.
Let's see, a drop-off over there...
Another little hut over this way...
Very easy to get turned around in here, I think.
Eesh.
Hey, who's this?
Bashful Ray...
Huh.
I'm not gonna summon you right now, but, um...
if it looks like there's a boss or something ahead, I will be back.
A morning star...
and a soul.
Hmm, up...
down... ah, there's a lot of directions. This place is big!
This feels like dark route again.
Wonder if I can sneak up on this guy.
Steady...
Nope, too slow.
Ow!
That hurt, but...
Aromatic-oos, nice!
I see a butterfly.
Think you can trick me?
You cannot...
butterfly.
Let's see, life gem...ah, it's a forlorn.
Or maybe forlorn is...
I don't know, is forlorn...
...a player? I don't think so.
Mostly because I can beat him. [laughs]
Yep. Sorry, buddy.
Come on.
Take your best shot, I dare you!
Gonna hit you in the back - aw, you got lucky!
Goodbye!
Uh, that is to say, goodbye!
I said...
I beg your pardon!
I don't entirely know what happened there. I don't know why my...
hits didn't connect, but that's okay! We'll just...
do it again!
You're getting annoying, buddy!
See that it doesn't happen again!
Thank you for the human effigy, though. That, I appreciate.
Useful stuff.
So, okay.
Big area out here, but I think we've explored a lot of this part.
Let's see what's back here...
Not much.
Start heading up...
Well, actually...
Before I start heading up...
Let me head back and try crossing this other bridge there was.
Let's see, what do we got?
You're different. You're different.
Hey, hey, hey. Okay.
Gonna hit you in the back if you don't mind.
Whew!
I don't know what would have happened, and I don't want to know.
Hmm.
All right.
Let us continue.
All right, another one of those guys...
...branching path. I'll check that out in a minute.
Ah!
That kind of hurts.
Oh, jeez. That's bad.
That's bad in a lot of ways.
Let's get out of here.
All right.
Fortunately, I have a mace and you're a skeleton, so...
you do the math.
And, uh, please don't reassemble.
Let's use another one of these.
I mean, since these are so inexpensive to get, I don't mind using a lot of them.
Where'd he go?
Oh, there you are.
Where you been?
Eh, yeesh.
You're quite a challenge.
Whew! Well...
I was hoping to hit you first, but that's OK.
That is OK.
The important thing is you're dead.
All right.
Now let's get this item. Hopefully it's worth it.
A notched whip.
If that's like any whip in Dark Souls 1,
this was not worth it.
But maybe whatever's up here will be.
"Trio"? Hmm...
Be wary of charging.
"Try lowering out and eliminating one at a time." OK.
OK.
Where's the trio? Ah, I see.
Yeah, that's not fun.
OK. All right, one at a time. We can do this.
Especially if we pull this off.
Just gotta do that a few times. It's no problem.
Yeah, you definitely wouldn't want to charge ahead here, though.
I would not want to be dealing with three of these.
Oh, you have a whip. That's different.
Die, though! Okay.
[bell ringing]
All right.
And now for number three.
This area feels very Bloodborne in a way.
Whoa, quite the... fancy footwork you got going on there, pal.
But not fancy enough.
[footsteps]
All right.
Ah, there's another one.
Thought it was just three. Thought it was just a trio!
Whew!
That's what I get for not paying attention.
Oh, now we're here.
Ah!
Why... you guys... keep... showing... up?!
Ugh.
Well, okay.
Hmm.
Is this the direction I want to go yet?
There was some other stuff up here.
Probably a lot.
Eh...
We did get through here. Let's...
...have a look-see around.
And maybe there's a bonfire or something up here.
I see you.
All right. Undead Purgatory, a new zone!
Oh, dear.
Um...
Hmm...
Hey!
Not okay!
All right.
Well, I'm here and I have all my SS flasks 'cause I've been using
the gems, so I'm really...
I couldn't ask for a better...
situation or scenario to have to deal with this guy in, so let's try it.
Ah!
Watch it!
Ah!
This is not going as well as I'd hoped.
Oh, come on!
That was a very fast...
rotation mid-jump.
Thought I'd gotten away. Oh, well.
Well, that brings us back here, so...
I know there are a lot of souls up there that I just left, but...
I wonder if I can make this jump.
That's a pretty far jump.
Yeah, I don't know if I'm gonna do that.
Oh yeah, I know there's a lot of souls that I just left up there, but...
Kinda wanna explore the rest of this area first.
Not fight through all those guys...
for the privilege.
All right, let's see what's up here, then. Hello, bandit!
Here's another hut.
It's got a switch in it. Maybe I can get inside? Yes, I can! Great! What does this do?
Hey!
Ah!
Get outta here!
That better not be all it did.
Or I'm gonna be very put out.
Hey!
What hit me?
I think something shot me.
Mmmkay, what's out here?
Oh, it must have just been you.
Cut it out!
I'm trying to get stuff done!
Ooh, rogue armor, cool!
Ah, I lowered the bridge! Sweet!
To where...
I wonder...
I feel like there's another butterfly up here...
that I've... not shot yet.
Eh, that's probably fine.
Okay, so...
if I go across...
that looks intense.
What's this away?
No, I don't think that I shall
Um, that is intimidating
Hmm, bridge or cave? Bridge or cave?
Bridge it is
Hmm
Though I am curious about the cave
Oh and this, didn't see this
Locked
That's a shame 'cause I wanna be in there
Any chance I'll find a key around here somewhere, perhaps?
Key?
Does anyone have a key?
Magic mace, titanite shard, cool
Skeleton friend
Get outta here
You're not dead, are you?
You're gonna come back
I thought so
Get. Lost.
Agh. Agh!
"Get lost" I says
That is gonna be a mistake, isn't it?
Yep, I don't think I need to be doing this right now
Not without a magic mace
So let me get outta here
Check. That. Magic. Mace. Out.
Okay, it's weaker, obviously, 'cause I've not leveled it up or anything
But let's see what happens if I kill them with this
Eh, two at a time now
All right, he's down
Still not dead. That's, uh...
upsetting
You know what? Let's push forward
You are probably the cause
Die, die...
and...
Die! Ugh, stupid
Terrible
I deserved to fail for that, because that was just horrible
Oh, I'm cursed. That's...
That's probably really bad, isn't it?
That's probably really bad
Well maybe it doesn't mean the same thing as it did in the day.
Being cursed in Dark Souls 1 was a...
...problem.
A bad one.
This doesn't seem so bad, though.
Did I lose a bunch of souls? Is that the problem?
I do notice I don't have many.
But maybe that's unrelated.
Ah!
There's so many different ways to go.
I'm not sure which one I should...
be pursuing.
Hmm.
I need to get the other mace equipped again, since I'm not dealing...
Eh, it's not like it even really helped with the skeletons that much now that I think of it.
Come on, mace, mace, mace. There we go.
There we go. That's more like it.
Poison arrows, cool. Flame butterflies, also cool. It's great having a lot of those.
Ooh, now here's a question, since I'm seeing this jerk across the water...
Will he shoot back? Yeah.
Aw, thought I could dodge.
Well, maybe I can just cause more damage faster. There we go.
Ha, you missed.
And you're dead!
There we go.
Starting to run out of these life gems, though. That's not great.
Gonna need to stock up...
...next time I'm in town.
I really wish that bonfire hadn't been behind a locked thing.
And I'm really starting to lose track of where I'm headed now.
Well, that simplifies it, I guess.
Hmm... oh, wait, never mind. Didn't see this path.
And another fog door, yeesh.
This has turned into quite the thing.
Well, with the caster gone, these skeletons should be a little easier at least.
Ah! Careful. This guy's got a crown. Interesting.
Not that it helped him, but I mean... he had a crown.
Oof, jumping. Not a fun time.
Well, let's have a look around.
Combustion. Ooh, and it's three Titanite Shards. That is a fine reward.
Ooh.
Die! Ah, come on.
"Die," I says.
All of you.
Do you mind?
Just die.
Estus Flask Shard! That's great!
And so much Titanite.
And my first chunk, that's great! My mace can become stronger now.
As if I needed this mace to be stronger.
I do.
I am not above using an OP weapon.
I will say that flat out.
I mean...ah!
I mean you guys saw me using the scythe, right?
That great scythe in Dark Souls 1...
...seemed kind of OP, but...
...I sure loved it.
All right, so I am clearly going to have to try making this jump.
Probably gonna die, but gonna try it.
Oh! Yeah!
Human effigy, forty lacerating arrows, three prism stones.
Now can I survive the return trip?
Okay.
Ah! Yeah!
Oh, man.
Scary thing to do.
[wind howling]
Well, all right, I guess it's time to check out...
...this fog door.
Since the other one is pretty heavily guarded.
Whew!
Wish me luck!
Skeleton lords, that's...
...upsetting.
Okay.
Down you go. There's one.
Hey, I remember that scythe.
Down... you... go?
There's two.
Ah! Skeletons.
This is, uh... not great... for me.
This is, uh... this is quite bad, actually.
Oh, jeez, that's fire.
That is much fire.
I... blood on earth!
I'm not comfortable with that number of skeletons.
Ah! Ah!
Thank you. Oh, alluring skulls. That would have been great to have equipped.
Okay, if I can run far enough away, maybe I can get one equipped super fast.
Nope.
Welp, this is gonna be a challenge. [laughs]
That is... too many.
Okay. Okay! Okay.
Agh! Didn't even hit 'em!
Okay. Maybe I can just very slowly and carefully chip away.
Didn't realize killing these guys was going to spawn all the skeletons in the world.
Eh, get out of there.
I'm scared to try killing that last guy without dealing with these first because...
I mean, maybe he's not the last one.
Maybe all these little skeletons are...
also part of like the boss. Like, am I chipping away at...
the boss's life bar by killing these guys?
I am!
Interesting.
At least... some of them.
Ah! Bad choice, bad choice.
Bad decisions. Okay.
Alright, I think I can do this. I just have to be very... slow and methodical about it.
Slow and methodical.
Okay. There's another one.
There go a bunch.
There go a bunch more.
Ah! Use the wide, sweeping attack. The one that hits lots.
This is working, though.
I'm thinning the herd.
He's thinning the herd! Thanks, buddy!
Okay... ow, watch it, watch it!
Eh, careful, don't get reckless... like that.
Okay... just keep using the life gems...
Keep... slowly chipping away... at their numbers...
Is this going okay?
This is going really well, actually!
This might work out.
Whew!
Tension.
Okay... one lord left.
I'm gonna break ya... and then I'm gonna break all your friends!
Oh, no.
Not you.
Anything but you.
Die. Please die.
[laughs]
Oh, my.
That was scary.
The last thing I expected and wanted...
to deal with at the end there...
was bone wheel skeletons.
Had a lot of flashbacks...
[laughs]
in that moment.
Whew!
Okay.
Okay...
A lot of leftover adrenaline from that fight right now.
[sigh]
Please let there be a bonfire nearby.
I could really use one.
I'm a little light-headed after that. [laughs]
Oh, just the tension.
Miracles required.
I don't have any.
Yay! Hopefully...
...a nice bridge...
...to places I want to be.
I hope I want to be there.
Maybe?
Please let there be a bonfire here. If nothing else...
Do I really need a bonfire?
Huh, it's a ladder.
Very short one, one way.
Heh, true that.
Okay.
Okay!
So...
So are we gonna have a bonfire or what?
I see one...
but that looks poisonous, so...
I guess not.
Are you friendly?
Please be friendly.
Please, please, please
Don't we all?
But now that I'm here, I've been scouting around for rare bits.
Ugh, don't look at me like that.
Many of these stones are quite useful.
For instance, certain stones are used in smithing.
Ah, now you're in a sprick up.
I've extras if you can pay.
This is my trade, after all.
Well...
What do you got?
Bonfire aesthetic?
Which is cool, but I...
don't really need one...
currently.
Soul appease and dead again.
Can't use either one.
Nah.
I'll talk to you, though.
That's a cool view, though.
Some of them are used to smith weapons and armor, and some unique stones provide special benefits. Some of them are extremely rare and should be used with great thrift. None of the differences are easily spotted, but I've learned quite a lot, really.
[chuckles]
Hmm.
Yep.
Few can, it seems.
Can I recommend Majula?
Okay.
Sure.
Oh boy
Well...
we sure do have our work cut out for us, don't we?
We will... maybe be dealing with that...
next time
But... uh...
I don't know, I want... I want to get to that bonfire, I really do
But I really worry that this poison...
may kill me...
too quickly
Ugh
And will all these souls... and will all this travel...
You know what? Screw it. Where's the fruit?
Use
Seize the day!
Oh. Well, that wasn't so bad.
Aw, I'm green!
[laughs]
Aw, that's fun.
How do I get ungreen?
Wow, that kinda sticks with you, doesn't it?
Is this stuff gonna wear off?
Is...
Is this stuff gonna wear off?
Okay, it does.
Yeesh!
That's, uh...
That's rough.
Well...
I suppose we will be figuring out how to deal with this poison nonsense...
...next time!
And...
I will also figure out exactly where I want to head next.
But...
That's a problem for next time!
See you then!
