This time we finish up the Undead Asylum and slay the Stray Demon. Then we head back down to Darkroot and open that mysterious door with the Astorias crest we bought from Andre. Then we get pet by the doggy! 0:00 Intro 1:06 First attempt 2:13 Second attempt 3:15 Third attempt 8:30 Fourth attempt 11:43 Stray Demon Kill 18:08 Exploring the asylum 29:20 Firelink Shrine 33:30 Andre 35:50 Darkroot Garden 39:10 Giant door 40:08 Good Doggy! 40:51 Jog back 42:10 Outro

This time we have a lot of shopping to catch up on. We have picked up some new embers and equipment and Andre is here for us. Then we head back up to Firelink and meet our new friends. More shopping ensues. We finally make it up to the giant raven and he takes us back to the Undead Asylum where we find some new enemies and get killed by them! 0:00 Intro 0:32 Andre 8:44 Back to Firelink 12:28 New friends! 23:58 Parkour time 26:20 Undead Asylum 28:55 Really? 33:30 bird nest swaps 34:53 Black Knight 37:08 ex-friend 41:02 Black Knight 2 44:40 Outro

We cover a lot of ground in this episode. We start out finishing the first section of Darkroot Garden, then we link up with Undead Berg through the watchtower. Inside we fight a dude with a dragon tooth for a weapon. Back down below in the Darkroot Basin we come across a giant hydra! It looks scarier than it actually is and it goes down with little trouble. Then we further explore the forest meeting giant murder cats and a club of gank ghosts that accepts us as a member. We stop short at the giant door as I am a bit intimidated by it. We will get to that next time. 0:00 Intro 1:30 Darkroot Garden cleanup 12:38 Darkroot Basin 14:29 Havel fight 21:56 Golem brawl 23:55 Hydra! 35:25 Explore the lake 40:01 Creepy Forest 43:41 Ghost gank 49:52 Giant cat things 54:55 Mushroom forest 55:45 Forest Covenant 1:03:52 Big ones pack a whallop 1:12:39 Ominous door 1:14:04 Forest Exploration 1:19:36 Back to Andre 1:26:55 Outro

This time around we head back up the cliff and explore the Darkroot Garden. Many ambushes in this area but some really good loot too. We summon a witch who helps us kill a boss. I can see this Moonlit Butterfly being quite difficult without the witches help. 0:00 Intro 1:00 Valley of Drakes 6:10 Inventory cleaning 8:17 Back to Darkroot Basin 10:29 Darkroot Garden 13:05 Ambush 14:30 Stone Knight 20:24 Tree Snakes 26:06 Witch Beatrice 27:40 Moonlit Butterfly 30:30 Past the bug 32:24 Heading back 37:30 Level Up 40:49 Outro

We kick off this episode with an explanation of some off camera farming I did. Then we make our way back to Andre the Smith and finally kill that evil Sphinx thing that chased us away earlier. Moving past, we enter Darkroot Garden and start climbing down a long series of switch backs into Darkroot Basin. 0:00 Intro 0:38 offline hijinx 4:03 Gear upgrades 5:35 showing the farm 9:00 leaving the depths 11:16 undead berg 16:50 frickin finally 19:40 Helkite bridge 21:41 Parish farm 25:00 Andre 27:18 Titanite Demon 31:05 Darkroot Garden 32:18 Darkroot Basin 34:45 Black Knight 39:14 Bonfire and outro

This time around we finish exploration of the depths and conquer the boss down here. The Gaping Dragon is a really cool design but a somewhat uneventful fight. He goes down slowly, but without much actual effort. 0:00 Intro 0:35 Depths Exploration 4:35 Rat Lunch 09:10 Slime Train 15:02 Basilisk Bash 23:00 Overlook Arena 29:53 Gaping Dragon 40:17 Now what? 48:00 Outro

This time we take down the Capra Demon! Then we splash around in the sewers for a while. We fight some crazy looking bug/frog/fish demon things and get cursed to death. Then we find a very strange man selling crystal equipment. We buy the shield. 0:00 Intro 3:37 Capra Demon 8:20 The Depths 13:08 Butcher 16:24 Down in a hole 20:22 Another hole 21:20 Cursed! 24:46 Farming souls 34:29 Purging stone 35:10 Back to the Depths 37:50 Slimed! 39:55 Laurentius 42:14 Slime hallway 45:50 Back to the pit 55:10 Domnall of Zena 1:05:49 Bonfire and outro

In contrast to last episodes disaster, we actually make lots a progress this time around. We go back to the drake armed with some internet knowledge and take his tail. We still get killed a bunch though. Then we find our way down below the Undead Burg and meet a very scary boss, the Capra Demon! 0:00 Intro 1:24 Back to the Burg 3:13 Shopping in the Burg 4:27 Drake tail 10:35 Drake attempt 11:45 Weapon tryout 16:31 Drake attempt 2 18:46 Going down 23:20 Griggs of Vinheim 26:40 Ninja ambush! 28:25 Another ambush! 31:30 Aqueduct merchant 36:52 Capra Demon! 40:03 Capra Demon 2 40:45 Outro

This is a rough one. I even considered skipping this episode. We attempt to progress past the ghosts in New Londo Ruins and fail enough that we run out of transient curses and can no longer fight them. Then we just try to run by, over and over, and fail enough that I lose my temper a bit. I get pretty disheartened but at the end of the episode I make a little progress in a different direction. Next episode goes much better, but I put this up for completeness. 0:00 Intro 1:25 Ghost fail 1 8:10 Rickert of Venheim 10:31 Ghost fail 2 13:13 Ghost fail 3 16:51 Ghost fail 4 19:28 Ghost fail 5 22:40 Ghost fail 6 25:35 Ghost fail 7 27:57 Ghost fail 8 30:15 Ghost fail 9 32:15 Ghost fail 10 34:15 Ghost fail 11 36:22 Ghost fail 12 38:39 Ghost fail 13 40:28 Mad me, and snoring? 42:05 A secret? 44:45 Blind catacomb rush 48:13 Outro

Lot's of flailing around in this one. We go back to the bridge and annoy the drake a few times but fail to progress. Then we take the express elevator down to New Londo Ruins were the ghostly residents don't welcome visitors. Much death. Little progress. 0:00 Intro 1:56 derp 8:14 Dragon surprise 15:00 Dragon teasing 19:48 Dragon shooting 27:30 New Londo ruins 32:00 stupid ghosts 36:45 ghost again 41:50 more ghosts 44:17 Outro

Finally time to ring the bell. We suffer a few deaths to the gargoyles, but it's a good fight and fun to beat. 0:00 Intro 5:18 Gargoyle attempt 1 10:52 Gargoyle attempt 2 14:42 Gargoyle attempt 3 18:18 Gargoyle attempt 4 24:22 Gargoyle attempt 5 28:37 Gargoyle attempt 6 34:20 Gargoyle attempt 7 41:00 Gargoyle succes! 47:24 Super creepy Oswald 58:51 Level Up 1:04:00 Outro

We return to the graveyard and then get scared away from the catacombs. Then we explore a bit and upgrade a bit. No real progress is made in the plot, but I learned a good bit about the game. 0:00 Intro 0:42 Graveyard revenge 15:20 where is the door? 27:28 Prisoners gift 33:58 Learning movement 36:45 Outro

After a couple of really stupid (on my part) deaths, we have a pig roast. Then we explore the church, killing both that giant cleric and the magical priest. We parole a prisoner with promise of future reward, and also unlock an elevator connecting to the beginning area. 0:00 Intro 1:55 Undead Parish 4:07 Pun death 8:25 uh..poison bruh 12:50 Pig roast 14:26 Church soldiers 22:12 Andre of Astora 31:12 Siegmeyer 32:46 Sphynx scares me off 36:03 Abundance of caution 44:08 Giant Cleric 46:25 Going down 48:15 Priest wizard 50:19 They Parry?!? 55:41 Prisoner Lautrec 1:00:52 Level Up 1:02:56 Outro

I must be hungry this time because I stumble into a couple undead sandwiches. I also die to a couple of stupid decisions! I explore a good bit of the Undead Parish and juke a giant pig. It seems like we are getting somewhere important. 0:00 Intro 1:08 Level Up 4:56 Back under the bridge 7:07 Shooting dragon butt 8:29 Undead Parish 13:17 Derp alert 15:36 Black Knight kills me 17:30 Black Knight again 20:40 Flee the Pig! 21:20 Zombie rave ends poorly 23:46 Zombie rave ends well 26:18 Mist Door 28:04 Another sandwich 32:28 Circling the Chapel 36:35 Derp death 39:18 Level Up 41:48 Outro

Still in Undead Burg. I spend a bit of time still getting used to the game. I learn more about the systems but don't make a ton of progress. Big fight with Black Knight takes me quite a while. I didn't know yet that holding your shield up greatly slows stamina recovery. 0:00 Intro 2:03 Undead Merchant again 9:55 Back to the Burg 14:40 Battle Axe! 15:24 Locked house 19:16 Black Knight 1st attempt 28:20 Black Knight 2nd attempt 36:50 Undead Merchant 41:15 Taurus Demon 45:00 Past the Bull 46:57 Solaire of Astora 49:33 Surprise! 55:08 Under the Bridge 1:02:11 Deadly stair sandwich 1:14:55 Outro

We delve further into Lordran and meet a couple of interesting people. Still learning the game but it keeps getting more fun. 0:00 Intro 2:24 Exploring the area 4:35 First fall death 9::37 Undead Burg fakeout 13:17 Petrus of Thorolund 17:22 Exploring the area 20:05 Skeletons! 27:27 Back to the Burg 32:00 Undead Merchant 35:25 Exploring the area 43:19 Dead men can't jump 57:15 Level up!/Outro

Welcome to my first time trying a souls game. Yes, in 2024. I'm a late bloomer, it's in the channel name. This is the Prepare to Die edition from Steam. I didn't really know much about this genre other than "is hard". I actually thought these were horror games. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they are a blend of action/adventure and rpg. I hope lovers of the series get a vicarious taste of the new experience feeling through me. 0:00 Intro 0:47 Character Creation 4:25 Opening Cutscene 9:45 Learning controls 14:20 Exploring the Asylum 16:30 Asylum Demon 24:07 Run Away! 29:02 Dying Knight 36:20 Asylum Demon 2 40:20 Freedom! 41:35 Unexpected flight 45:07 First Level Up

The final episode of this lovely game! This is a wrap up of post game activity. No story stuff really, but some cool tank fights with a surprise champion. 0:00 Intro 0:25 Final Crafting 0:57 Final side quests 2:14 Goddess trial 7:55 S rank first fight 14:20 S rank second fight 23:45 S rank third fight 31:21 Ultimate tank fight 47:29 Thanks and goodbye!

The end is night! This is a long one but we finally save the last of the slimes and finish the game. It's been a great time and I had a blast. There will be another episode with post game content. 0:00 Intro 0:30 Side Quests 6:15 final Slival tank fight 11:41 Count Calories 13:30 Don Clawleone boss fight 17:09 False victory 21:15 Flucifer tank fight 33:40 Victory celebration 37:20 Town Talk with everyone 58:02 Final credits

This time we delve into the final dungeon, Flying Clawtress. We encounter a high density of enemies, which just makes it easier for me to farm them for statues. 0:00 Intro 1:03 Roboglop 3:20 Curator 11:42 Clawrence 15:20 The Argonaut tank fight 20:50 Bouncer 23:12 Flan Spinel 25:39 DQ Swordz tank fight 30:12 Viscount Viscous 34:38 Sliborg 37:46 Daemolition Man tank fight 43:34 Flopsy 48:46 Town Talk with friends

This time we take a detour from the main quest and climb the arena ladder as high as we can. We just barely finish off the final fight of A rank! S rank is only unlocked after all 100 slimes are freed. 0:00 Intro 0:57 Purrsecuter tank fight 07:16 Carrot Top tank fight 13:32 Golemator tank fight 18:22 S Cargo tank fight 25:20 Pyramaniac tank fight 34:28 T Rax tank fight 43:12 Enforker tank fight

We kick off chapter 4 with blunt force trauma to my nostalgia. I absolutely cannot take this seriously anymore. Why do I remember this series so fondly? Are later instalments really that superior? This Florina chick is several bridges too far. This is the last episode I try to play straight at all. I may replay the whole thing as a roast.

After a little off screen grinding we have some statues in the museum and a new tank crew. We finish off Flucifer's Necropolis in spectacular fashion and smash all enemies in the way! A glimpse of the Don himself and the Princess teases the next area. 0:00 Intro 1:06 Museum 8:21 second ladder battle 13:41 Back to Necropolis 14:48 Weeny 15:43 Clawdia 16:19 Sliminator 21:39 WarChest east tank fight 27:47 Eggbard 29:22 WarChest west tank fight 33:43 Frankenslime 35:37 Schwarzman tank fight 40:48 Her Royal Wobbliness 42:09 Lickety Spit boss battle 45:28 Lord Roly 46:14 The Don arrives! 47:30 Town Talk with friends

We take our first steps into Flucifer's Necropolis and finish up about half of it. We meet a few new friends and acquire some new goodies. We suffer our first tank fight loss, but quickly recover. 0:00 Intro 2:16 Meggan 4:17 Golemator tank fight 15:12 Lord Lard and Blingaling 17:18 Golemator round 2 24:35 Pamby 25:44 Michelle 27:28 Tickles 28:14 Soapia 31:30 Goochie 32:20 Cheruboing 34:50 Fortknight tank fight 41:10 Wild Fang 42:24 Town Talk with friends
