Caleb Plays Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin #10

for all right hello everybody good to see you all spider hey welcome welcome chat who how many of you were here for uh jacob's stream yesterday i heard he had a good time with it bookworms abound nice i'm guessing you're referring to jacob's dream yesterday any of the other sports besides obviously ultimate frisbee excited cfb is coming back tomorrow i uh it's rough um oh man like when the olympics was on there was some things that i was watching but like not really not really no like i'm not really a sports guy specifically like i i've watched sports over the years but i don't really have anything outside of ultimate frisbee i'm really passionate about so that's a weird one you're staying at a train station when the stream started yeah okay cool yeah unfortunately you weren't able to be there but yeah yeah the the stream did sound cool all i managed to join near the end okay uh a question often if all do you guys collab to prep the indie campaigns you don't play together like how does one practice yet well well so like what what will generally happen is we won't do it with regards to campaign prep because jacob doesn't usually dm he likes to play and i prefer to dm so if anything i'll ask him about like rules clarifications and like little ideas and stuff like that but what he'll come to me about is he'll be like hey check out this cool build idea that i came up with and he'd be like like what what do you think would be like a cool like aesthetic for this or something and then i'll give them ideas and stuff like that but it's it's actually pretty pretty insulated in that regard because a lot of times we just play together and then it's a thing of where we don't want to um give away the surprise of something that we're uh specifically uh specifically setting up uh hold on why is my game not showing up oh that's why cool there we go gotcha gotcha hey too gooey no no announcement wait wait did i not do an announcement in discord oh [ __ ] you're right i didn't do an announcement of discord you're absolutely right completely forgot yeah let me uh let me do that real quick i keep forgetting actually like every once in a while like doing the posts and everythings and things like that like there's so many things that i can like schedule out to do at like specific times but uh yeah oh gooey yeah yeah i think jacob was okay with it because he was expecting me to tell everyone today after my stream is over what jacob was gonna play next hmm okay but yeah i'm excited for jacob i can't i can't wait for him to meet the party in tales of berseria like he's he's gonna he's gonna love them so much it's it's gonna be a good time but we're here for dark souls 2 and we're on a bit of a a bit of a mystery kick we got some info from the dragon from the queen and we are searching for withered old trees that are keys to memories of the past of the war between uh king vendrick and his people and the giants but we must uh we must uh just explore and i kind of like that the game is basically saying hey go look around go find these things you should have seen a couple of them but go find them i'm like okay okay i know where at least one other one is in my head but how i got there i'm gonna have to figure that out in game uh this is gonna be uh this is gonna be a unique experience level 149 just under 40 hours in game two oh the keyblade yeah that was hilarious okay bearer of the until hope has fully withered yes if you find an estus so that i yeah okay cool and no i don't have any of that let's check this no nothing there okay so we know that the trees are in the lands of the giants death counter thank you thank you which by the way the death counter is going to need to be majorly updated in terms of what it is uh for y'all in uh oh oh oh yeah well that's gonna be fun feel free to do it uh uh over the course of time or or what have you so you have to do it now is that oh that little sliver of light almost looked like a summon sign okay now it would be fun to try a bit of a twist on things here and just walk to the forest the fallen giants but you know just to kind of have a bit of a nostalgia trip but that's not really necessary because i can go to the bonfire that's like right here and that's essentially having like walks to the entrance yeah runs on thank you very much i am i am proud of myself like so much not only like beating that area but but beating it all with only dying to gravity and the one time before i even entered the spider's lair okay okay let's find the trees all right i'll wait for you to come down and you're dead okay so there's no reason to come up here no reason at all okay okay so this just pops us out at the spot that we were at before yeah yeah whoa check your aim there buddy okay all right stop that yeah we can't go over here right so we need to find our way over there oh is that a tree yeah i'm pretty sure that's that's a tree um [ __ ] i never figured out how to go over there though huh it has to be that jump but okay well that's potentially one but i oh i know i know where the other one is okay so i could have just came here weird then am i going to the wrong spot are there hold on no no i'm no okay huh that's not a tree it's a story nice all right i've never opened this door have i what have i never opened this door holy [ __ ] i've never opened this door oh my god i have never opened that door wow what a what a what a plot twist just completely had ignored this area oh oh oh and this just opens because right i am the king a caster okay well [ __ ] oh okay awesome just just like that all right amazing uh absolutely uh incredible all right oh this just pops us out oh sweet okay well that was um yeah that was uh that was quick should i oh no no no i can probably do that after okay okay here we go you expected at least an hour of searching damn i mean all right try magic ready for duo magic i don't huh okay boss immediately no okay okay jesus well here we go let's get the item just farming souls by not not dying feels good man jesus oh big big boy oh my god that's a boss okay oh well he got me good there oh you're an accurate boy aren't you but you're really slow oh ah there we go got him easy probably a bit over leveled but nice we got a key we got a lot of souls whoa whoa whoa that is a lot of souls fire seed yes charmer but rear ahead hooray for hexes oh wait oh could you like kite the boss maybe into this fire and then just kill him easily that'd be kind of cool oh jesus i have to check to see if there's an item over here and morbid curiosity nope ah go go go go go go go go go go go go okay okay oh well i guess um i guess that's uh that's it nice now i still want to go find the other tree though because i'm sure there's navlan again what are you doing back here haven't i beat this guy already mavlan is union 2.0 oh poor navlan wait a minute wait a minute i just realized something thank you [Music] it is good to be the king hello there this is this is uh this feels kind of uh kind of dirty you know just like yes yes uh clearly a tactical genius understands the uh the uh value in uh farming uh accidental hits by the opponent's siege weapons uh sir sir excuse me i need you to come this way there's lots of uh bombardment over here and you'll die from it so uh please don't be stuck yeah keep coming over here damn it well okay and we go go go go go go hello there oh yep and then get hit boom actually hold on fire oh jesus oh jesus he's coming hey uh i'm sorry to have to do this to you but uh that did nothing what why aren't you locking up okay i'm no i'm no coward i'm no coward jesus yeah there we go there we go oh oh he's still alive thank you thank you kindly i am a jester i am not a coward the hack pyromancer indeed indeed we will return in case we need more souls pray return to the uh the waking tree all right nice nice oh good items really good items bloody expensive getting a ladder what what's bloody expensive oh [ __ ] wait could i have huh how would i get back up there the fastest hmm um well we have this so we have this dude don't trigger my ar ptsd but arr is arr is not that bad arr right now at least i don't know what it was like before but arr right now and not that bad wait what was that okay nothing okay let me see i can pull some pull some [ __ ] over here it doesn't look like a can uh i can't roll through that i haven't read the descriptions yet that is a good point let me do that that's what i got sold the giant lord who once conquered drangleic vendrick crossed the seas took prisoner of the giants and brought them back to his castle uh clapton irons however after this modest triumph his countenance could be seen to grow darker with each passing day is the special soul of the giant require numerous souls or to create something of great worth um i don't think there was anything else i got other than there was there's another soul that i got was it oh right it was another one of these okay cool still want to know what these are oh that's reallocation of points yeah yeah of course of course um right uh i think you're dragging things to the best players and this will rise above this petticoat oral existence oh okay interesting yeah yeah i think that's it uh we got a couple weapons though and check those real quick grand lance that's what i got yeah nice seals up the finest makes so rare the very few weapons huge combat okay that's so it's cool it's cool um sure okay okay if we get any big weapons or anything like that i don't think there's anything else we got we got a key thank you thank you yes it'd get a key giants kinship grants access to the throne room beneath the castle oh okay each king has his rightful throne and when he sits upon it he sees what he chooses to see or perhaps it is the throne which shows the king only what he wants the flames roar but will soon begin to fade and only a worthy air might burnish their light what is it truly a claimant to the throne could desire oh jed all right all right and we have a fire seat as well so prey return to the majula sands sorry master hand i did it again is it dlc time yet i don't know guys that is a good question is it close to dlc time cool we have maxed out our pyromancy flame i'm always here kind of kind of i believe in dark souls 2 you can still do dlc after beating the final boss really there's still optional bosses in main game left too oh so we could do like eventually once we get to it like a like a like a oh go back and find this boss you you left them we can guide you to the spot that they're they're at or something is tales of berseria good story-wise yeah yeah it has some pacing issues uh in the like like like spots here and there but i love the characters for for an rpg it's it's fantastic all right um hmm endurance is op but it doesn't give us that much get a lot of health [Music] get like 90 health potentially um actually hold on it might just make sense to level up strength right just because we technically do scale from it for our weapon huh it is just damage hmm let's check adaptability [Music] it's okay [Music] okay so at eight we get another five to our fire bonus and we've gained two more cast speed here we gain another five so we could give theoretically 10 to our fire bonus by doing um here and then here 105 agility is worth it right here okay sure i'll i'll do that it's fine what is the [Music] that gives us a decent amount of stuff but nothing crazy so then i'll do i'll do this [Music] let me see if i have um uh some souls cause i don't think i do yeah i don't really know okay um i'm really surprised we've gone through all this game and i haven't found anyone that i can sell [ __ ] to that's something i almost want to dedicate a stream to to be like i'm going to search every nook and cranny of this game to find wait i have i just forgot wheel wheel and deal [Music] i don't know [Laughter] he didn't forget he just missed him [ __ ] is uh is uh is it is it impossible to find him now you no okay so i could go out into the wild and and find this this wheel or wheel and deal okay i know i know what area i explored the least because i was like [ __ ] that area and i don't want to go back here but you're still two rooms away from finding him okay okay then to make this simple chat tell me which of these zones it is don't tell me the bonfire just tell me the zone no man's wharf shaded ruins wharf okay wharf i technically yeah i technically did skip actually a good chunk of no man's wharf that is true i did have that point where i was like eh i'll just go straight to the ship so it totally makes sense totally makes sense that there would be uh someone here that i would have uh i would have missed now we don't even care about these guys so my guess my guess is that it's gonna be someone someone over in this area kinda oh [ __ ] well that was uh that was a bit i took like no damage still because this was the area that i kind of skipped in in general so enter at your own peril okay so let's go backwards okay nice a branch sweet oh poisoned well that was dumb of me not of the the item thing all right um just do that okay um i thought there were stairs over here oh hey hey buddy chill okay so i dropped down from there these guys keep shooting arrows at me for real okay so there is really no way up from this side okay so i'm gonna have to go potentially the long way maybe i'm not sure okay yeah nothing here jeez these guys were enemies that i legitimately feared at some point it's always uh oh right okay oh geez i'm just brute forcing my way through here oh whoa look at this hollow let's go what bro props okay yeah this is the area i skipped right so this a cool way sorry doggos ah that's so cool oh be quiet oh time for subtlety is over wow you guys are sleeping through all that jesus okay okay there might be something underneath there okay okay yeah the message okay maybe this feels like an area that would break but maybe it doesn't okay let's try upstairs now oh hold on this well hold on no okay just checking just checking okay oh using the low ground okay oh enough of that hello oh that definitely looks like an npc [Music] hmm now how do we get there from the bottom maybe all right stop that a low ground oh okay okay this could maybe have something to do with it we need to get up there oh wait there's just a door over there hold on well let's first find out what does this do oh oh i just lit the place up that's all okay hmm wait do i just literally just go ah i feel like i'm overthinking this oh wow i completely forgot about that whatever go up through this way wow the way that cleaved was so good wait okay [Music] right right right hmm all right we'll go back to the guys in the dark over there but just trying to get a bird's eye view so that it okay hey hello who are you me uh govlan govlan all right well then we can wheel and deal my friend what you want i want to give you all my [ __ ] you will you deal oh my god every dark souls fan just sees this four-letter word and just goes oh just just cray-gasm just oh you know just just amazing stuff okay what do we got though ring of giants increases poise poise i believe that's oh that's agility wait where's poise that okay here we go 8.1 that's that's pretty pretty cool though uh okay poison arrows yeah oh just poison [ __ ] in general rotten pine resin eh maybe maybe um all right well tell me your story govlan wants soul many many souls what you want that kavlon you will you deal that that's his story oh oh okay let's go baby look at look at these look at these numbers too oh lots of um lots of pvp potential related stuff that we could sell because we just don't we just don't need them like i'm just not gonna do that so we can dump those what else yeah we wouldn't sell those though okay let's start the start the selling with all the shitty [ __ ] yeah uh-huh okay short stories yeah pointless we're just gonna clean out a lot of the [ __ ] here it's nostalgic but we're throwing it away okay um i kind of want to keep some of these but there's definitely some things that make sense to just throw away like like some of these spears where it's just like okay clearly but we're not gonna use that you know sell more for the box space than the souls that is true that is very true very good point uh intel intellect based stuff we can get rid of that um that's fine yeah uh we'll keep the faith stuff just in case short bow is pointless this bow is pointless espo maybe yeah with a shield crossbow well heavy yeah okay all right so now we get rid of a whole bunch of duplicate shields all right um anything chat you guys can think of as like oh definitely sell like all those i have a bunch of mail breakers yeah i have a rapier i don't um we have a bunch of katanas which we don't need keep two for the dual wielding i don't know i don't think i'm necessarily going to uh care too much about that we can delete this one cause we have an enchanted one sell um big axes since we're not going strength oh yeah that's that's fair and even the wimpy axes too you two of the same weapon okay all right i will i'll sell this club at least yeah i don't want that i either tell there's a poise boosting ring no i'm i'm good uh he he's he's he's playing on his own time just for fun so yeah uh i don't need the great swords i mean i mean i could get the 28 strength but that scaling is so bad yeah i'll sell them both yeah gotta keep the black knight stuff don't sell the boss weapons i don't need scimitars i have this warped sword here which is basically a better scimitar sell dark souls 2. yes yes exactly um we've got a bunch of wimpy shields here and sell a whole bunch of those uh [Music] okay i think that's it for there so let's let's get rid of some armor because holy [ __ ] we have so much pointless armor here yeah all these and it goes all the way over to here so yeah let's just sell all our holo [ __ ] oh cool and got a whole bunch of these you don't care about this set okay um a bunch of prisoners stuff those dropped pretty frequently so we'll just sell them all uh what's this one yeah this one might be a unique item so let's hold on to that peasant stuff we'll hold on to those two of these we don't need to all right here we go all the aloneness stuff uh right this one's unique so let's hold on to that whoa now that sound of him drinking is actually kind of like like almost like an asmr sound oh yeah this this this getup actually but with this mask looks like it could be pretty cool um keep all the bengal stuff the drangleic stuff cause that stuff looked that stuff looked it um anakin stuff yeah we'll keep that rogue hood okay uh let's sell a bunch of this [ __ ] yeah i don't think i'm gonna want this it's supposed to say it says it says the fabric is reinforced with pyromancy but is that really mechanically true or is that just a just something said for flavor because that doesn't feel doesn't feel right it has an actual effect if it will tell you if it has an actual effect it'll tell you that's what i would assume d0 but i found that's actually not the case case in point i'll show you something cool i found where is it um let me put this into uh yeah let me put this into equipment here this helmet here secretly boosts your maximum uh vitality you can see that it brings my max vitality up from 55 to 58. see doesn't say on the item though this one also does it 1.6 uh yeah it's kind of a kind of a rare thing but still it's kind of cool that it does that yeah okay so we got a ton of souls for that um i'm nervous always about selling inventory stuff but there are definitely some things that um there are definitely some things that uh make sense to sell first and foremost uh these we like i don't i don't i don't i don't need so let's sell them all and i'm sure that if i need more for any reason i can find a spot to go farm them these um yeah we don't need that and we don't need this either god there's so many souls okay um how about something we have a lot of that we definitely don't really need need oh these lucky coins i should have been using these some of your gear boosts uh spell uses okay i'll uh i'll look into uh into that depends on what you're trying to farm oh okay okay um blocks estus recovery this is a pvp thing like i'm sure there are yeah i'll sell these i don't i don't need those uh rubbish wow um do i need bonfire aesthetics though like do i really need these because i don't think i do they they seem kind of they seem kind of more just for like maybe need wait what why would i okay unless it's a spoiler don't tell me but like would i need more than two oh they're for bosses oh so because you jump up to new game plus if you're in a zone that has a boss actually keep four oh keep like a specific number oh [ __ ] okay right right i understand the souls part but i don't think we're in a play through where we're going to need more souls really this is more just doing this for the completionist in me to see how high level we can get without you know farming oh they'll drop higher level rings too oh that's a cool little that's a cool little detail okay okay so there's there's reason to keep them i'll hold on to all of them then just just in case um yeah keep those arrows might as well rings now this is the interesting part i would want to keep all the rings i would think but i have ones that are plus ones and plus twos of their version so i don't need the duplicates right like i only need the strongest versions yeah so like this one definitely would sell yep yep because you can't equip more than uh one of the same type i mean they give nothing but it's like yeah you know why why not and it's not like if they break i can never get that item back it's just like okay sure i like how covenant ones you can't sell it's like not wait we don't it feels kind of like uh oh here we go yeah it feels like the kind of like not usual dark souls thing where they're like no no no please don't don't accidentally sell these guys like you really don't want to uh we can definitely get rid of this one yeah it's the we don't care about a morning star um dragon tooth it's cool but i'll sell it too yeah it's more of a nostalgia weapon malformed skull wait it's called a dragon okay that looks cool i'll probably pick that up at some point i i don't need to have a hammer that has a a blacksmith's uh anvil on top of it although that is kind of funny um [Music] yeah okay i think i've essentially sold many deals oh really thanks okay um can i open this from here yes good awesome so now i don't need to go through that convoluted route to uh get back here and i could probably open up this door now right try fog wall what oh wait or did i just miss this door entirely what could i have opened this door from this side all along oh my god i could have couldn't i i just skipped it that's so funny you know what i think the reason might have been if you look at the way you kind of go like hold on what was the way i entered i think i came out here right and i'm like ah okay cool i go up here and it was darker to be fair but still other wait actually no there's a no that's a message okay that wasn't necessarily there the last time but it kind of brings you through here and unless you know to look over there maybe i don't know it's it's it's clearly a house though so i should have noticed that okay that's cool just just knowing that i i could have spotted it all along but didn't that's fun actually just because i'm curious because this has happened before let's see if uh union 1.0 is uh is over here it's because i'm morbidly curious and it'd be really funny no okay that would have been really really funny okay hey super motor man oh i'm glad the surgery uh went well yeah yeah thanks for the 200 bits too okay oh that's interesting are you guys saying that in all the other like um soul games like including dark souls 3 that two ring slots is the uh the uh the usual dark souls three is four well dark souls 3 again i hear it's the the superior game and they don't have durability amazing amazing um do we i kind of want to just boost strength i'm just going to boost the strength yeah this is technically more damage you know oh really dark souls 3 is the easiest one i've never heard that from anyone i've heard that dark souls 1 is the easiest one like like that is that is a weird take like like like already having like gone through a majority of this game and thinking back on the idea of playing it through again versus dark souls one oh oh one is a joke now compared to uh um in my mind and that's maybe just because i've played it already like through like i don't know like three times in total and then like through certain bosses like 20 times you know [Music] cat must go no oh that's right you don't really have anything good so i guess i'm not gonna really miss you uh flying feline boots do we buy them just to say goodbye no i haven't beat the game i'm just uh i've gone through um and found an npc that i missed from forever ago and uh kind of debating right now which way to advance because the the way that i've been told to go is drangleic castle and i believe i would go specifically here to get to the uh the throne room because i i still haven't found uh vendrick yet i'm assuming vendrick is uh most likely the the final boss um let's check back with um check back in with the queen though trees though that's true i do know i do know where another oh she's gone she's gone well then okay um my guess my guess is that she's left to go behind her corresponding fog gate that's my uh it's my guess so if that's the case that's my guess then we just go over here and open up this uh this door right yep wait or did i already open this door wait i'm going crazy yeah i've already been here right this is the door wait no or is it wait no this is the door this is the door ah hello let me open is this it no what i'm going crazy no this is yeah yeah i i lost did i am i actually getting lost fine you get one get out of here oh there you go cool that's a great way to describe it okay i can read the key again though like a like a sane human being okay attacks the throne beneath the castle so we need to go actually beneath the castle this is this is just flat out not where we're supposed to be because we're literally just in the castle wasting our time all right all right okay uh undead crypt i guess yeah probably hmm is it beneath the castle i'm pretty sure it is i literally took an elevator from the castle to get here it's through shrine if i'm oh no okay okay okay that somewhat makes sense let's check this one first it's kind of beneath the castle see yeah i thought so it's like it's it's like it's like sorta sort of beneath the castle but like we we don't want you to go that way you know all right all right let's lock on the big boy oh whoa whoa yes okay so let's chill here a second wait oh [ __ ] i i literally have to go back what is this level design oh man supermoto man have you have you been here for the the majority of the streams holy [ __ ] it's been bad like it's it's so unfortunate that you have to compare this game to dark souls 1. because this game has a lot of good things going for it but it is no dark souls 1. oh boy all right okay so let's actually seriously think about not going back to that one because that doesn't necessarily make sense to be it let's well actually no it kind of does make sense to be it dang it yes exactly prey level design is not one of the things that it has uh that it can remotely compare to dark souls one holy [ __ ] like not even close um what i there we go wait a minute something about my build is wrong i have low stamina and i don't like it i don't know why but i don't like it either that or my stamina is actually just fine it's just i've been a while since playing okay a ring do i oh right right because i literally just repaired it so i don't need to wear the king's ring i can uh there we go there we go nice okay this part was so slow and tedious huh i really want to fight through these guys jesus bruh hello there hello there we go yeah there were a bunch of oh wait wait wait wait there were a bunch of side pathways wait that's skeleton okay never mind yeah but there were a bunch of things on the side that had like tree roots and [ __ ] so maybe maybe maybe i'm just missing some stuff there oh [ __ ] i did that oh hi [ __ ] i bet okay well cool what you gotta cast off that fast okay nope [ __ ] come on get your shield up oh my god oh poor cleric no offensive magic i am sorry but i really really don't like clerics so uh nothing personal oh wait no it is actually very personal what am i talking about it's extremely personal um oh wait wait wait wait wait i think i think this was literally is this it there was a there was a bridge right there was a bridge that had was it here no no it wasn't here there was a spot that i crossed and it had a door that was locked hmm twinkling tight knight hell yeah yeah i forgot i used to just uh kill these guys with my bow so maybe we should uh be spamming the lock on button for now right and then this is where we faced swamp song demon right okay huh is that it i mean it's kind of a unique spot oh don't drown caleb it's kind of awkward i can't really jump over it this is really weird wait huh weird oh light torch yeah so now we can see a little bit better no lots of death here message fatty yes yes that is true is there even walkway across though maybe there's not but this torch is probably a key to be like hey don't assume you're going to drown necessarily there could be there could be walkways that you're not paying attention to there goes my torch okay probably should go light that again oh i already went over here hmm hold on am i am i dumb i think i'm dumb i think i know i think i know what i'm supposed to do there had to be like a second pathway out of here right like somewhere over here was there yeah there was okay okay okay yeah yeah okay cool cool hear you oh one of you guys a couple of you guys okay sure oh [ __ ] wait oh [ __ ] wait oh hello what's all this what the why camera i was locked onto the skybox uh i'll lose my torch if i do that so hold on let's uh do this first bonfire hell yeah so now we don't care if we lose our uh okay what i locked onto the skybox again what is happening okay okay let's get some box just arrows noice hey friends die okay we'll go up that tower in a second i just have to explore this oh okay what was the deal it's here okay so well that's coming up because elevators take a while let's explore this and see if this connects to like a shortcut or something okay hey yeah cool view okay it's a sweet ass door though okay trio counter attack and short weakness overwhelming oh oh a pyromancer an enemy pyromancer okay oh someone's giving me the uh the old trick with this one here damn it that looks like looks like it could be someone i talked to though but their fire is active nah enemy oh [ __ ] this boys not only not only uh okay okay okay respect the hustle this is like a pvp encounter almost but with a really oh that's firestorm yep yep got him don't don't okay i was gonna say don't deny me an item here give me like a fire seat or something okay well that was uh that was a thing she's a chest down honey sadness ahead oh looks like two beings burning in an eternal flame of some kind okay oh this is a cool vibe i got here oh hey hello who are you what do you want from us uh nothing just show me the way milfonato that is what we are called this place is filled with milfs yes you already told me your name we know nothing of the outside world yeah the others said that too we sing eternally for those who bear death and dark within themselves we have been here forever we know nothing of the outside world and we do not need to the little ones were born from the great dead one great dead one oh [ __ ] we have sung ever since to comfort those bound by death and dark this is what we were taught we hear a song in the distance you rescued a milfonator who was taken from us take this we milfonito thank you yes and i am grateful ah fireseed nice nice so we probably are gonna pray to this but before we do that let us explore oh hold on what was that i saw a vision of ambush but i also saw another one of those okay and got your leg it's over uh pyromancer i have the high ground uh oh none of that [ __ ] no sir hey i can fight fire with fire jesus there's a second one of course there is oh i didn't get to cast it actually let's kite them back up oh wait no if we kite them up here my lady uh [ __ ] breaking my items let's run them all the way out here then two of them though is a real pain in the ass though come on [ __ ] on they just spam this [ __ ] okay i totally saw that and walked right into it okay okay we broke some uh some rings lovely and died um are we at 229 we might be at 229 for deaths i i might have we're at 228 oh okay all right so we're headed up those guys those are nasty oh damn they give good stuff though all right what's broken of course always this one what was what was also broken um actually that's a good point we don't have a fire defense ah sure oh wait i already have that one oh i didn't break oh i thought i sold all duplicates but okay i don't know i think maybe we just pick up the souls one again i do have flash sweat but i would have to uh i'd have to attune it which let's let's do that yeah why not that's a really good idea i literally got flash sweat as like the there's gonna be a point where it'll be nice to have you know um i want to say combustion is the one that makes the least sense to grow actually no combustion could be good against them let's get rid of firestorm here and let's grab flashlight but also weirdly enough i actually think this one might not be as good anymore so let's grab toxic mist baby alright see you super moto man have a good one what was my damage so low there wow just give stones nice all right let's go yes keep rolling buddy what that's the one guy who's holy [ __ ] this guy's good okay yeah you're dead get out of here okay stop singing as soon as i come in here can i aggro only one possibly come on just you just you nope guess not or maybe i am look at this mad lad go come on get your ass out here here we go don't you retreat jesus oh oh no no no i was so close to the edge what was i doing what was i doing ah yeah butter knife so op yeah yeah you're on to something there see that that guy is uh playing some hardcore dark souls what the wow okay i don't mind if i do geez okay it's what your pyromancy ceiling looks like caleb i'm all about that oh i've learned your moves buddy do you hear that i'm not afraid anymore okay if i can avoid it i might that's so clever that he like throws that come here [ __ ] okay we got him we got him with the toxic mist nice oh [ __ ] whoa whoa the snipe this guys are these guys are insane now one of them should die i mean he might not but i just love the confidence with which they charge out like actually you know it's uh come here walk through it oh wait i i need to put up um flash sweat yeah surprise oh my god you're the one jesus oh perfect dodge perfect dodge didn't get him oh my god ah hate these guys there we go gotcha okay i think my stuff is broken though no it's just really really weak okay though i i do have i do have a thing where's my thing there you are okay wow nice okay yeah no joke that was that was a that was a tough encounter all right there's an item yep let's grab that i see baby yeah yeah all right so this probably just ahead just need to make sure i can come back here without oh yeah there's a chest right there nice okay so that's potentially a drown spot so let's be careful nice man slayer uh [ __ ] this looks like a looks like a trap that if i go down here i won't be able to get back up so if i go here yep this is that video game [ __ ] it's a trap if you go through there you're never getting back up here so okay well i know it's there i just don't have to rest at the bonfire and reset the pyromancers okay pray alas nothing happened nani all ahead then try lever you silence that cursed singing please accept these as a thank you okay fine blessing well i did it fortune required ahead therefore keeping all the required but despair apollo do i need to use a dark pyromancy flame honey no do you see comfort hmm indeed take this at the very least you just keep giving me stuff that's this is all that we can do the little ones okay okay so need oh does that mean all required all right let's head down here we have zero effigies in our hollow praying that makes you human oh oh that's cool that's really cool hmm zero um yeah you're kind of backseating like the whole like time so just just you know chill chill bonfire aesthetic okay okay so i can get back up nice sweet sweet um oh hmm all right well i'm not sure what to do here so head back and i'm just going to make sure not to rest so i don't reset these annoying guys wait what's that what are you okay huh oh geez forgot those guys were down there i thought the whole place was clear but forgot wow i think that one was still animated for a second there oh my god i am really confused as to where to go hmm okay else if you need a hint well okay so my thought is that i just need to keep looking around this like this zone basically but the um the flames roar but will soon begin to fade and only a worthy air might burnish their light oh i think i get it now i have an idea it's the whole pilgrimage of fire thing maybe i need to bring a flame to the eternal flame it's very avatar the last airbender well thanks for spoiling it master hand it's no fun try light no way what are people jumping off here i mean there's people that have died here but what are they actually let's see what are they doing no [Music] i'm so confused what what would be the point see like this room in here feels like it would be the kind of room that would make sense to have something that i would maybe light with fire and this is just an explosion caused by their pyromancies i don't know but then like coming out here it's yeah it's just so it's just so pointless in that there's just treasure here but it feels like you're being guided here okay yeah i need a hint because i'm i'm so so confused it's not in this zone oh it is in the castle okay all right i mean there was a bonfire that i hadn't found yet at drangleic castle so that that's logically like and that makes sense yeah completely overthinking it okay well that's that's hilarious because i did end up finding something here and that's just hmm i think this place is a dead end but i'm gonna i'm gonna go here again because this is the um the spot that i did kind of drop into but oh hello i can backstab these guys i didn't even know that okay right and this is where it dropped in from so is this here yeah the guy's gone but okay yes exactly right yeah don't just give me the answer i want a hint i want to try and figure it out for the most part okay um hmm the lowest point but doesn't the lowest point just take you to the undead crypt so we've got this elevator here it goes down pretty far or does it go up i don't see which way i think it takes me up yeah i think the way out there takes me below yeah so i do not want to be on here so let's um let's uh uh feather okay okay oh what am i doing what am i doing um right here oh nope literally just did this game come on come on wow it's still going up okay oh wait wait wait maybe well hold on i should let's actually be serious about this here i should probably have this ring equipped just general um okay so we're gonna run past go down here go yep okay this is the deepest spot from what i remember so this thing takes you down a way a ways hold on let's be pro uh dark souls players though oh right yeah yeah yeah that just just takes us back over here uh did i just not explore this area fully oh god you're not oh maybe not maybe not i i never went over here so this is something new uh i think i'm supposed to break it aren't i yeah yeah yeah and then i go down and get it but hmm nice twinkling tight knight sweet okay so then not there uh okay okay oh wait the throne room the throne room is it just wait wait no no this doesn't make sense well does it i should just retrace my steps and go through oh nah oh that's right that's right this room of course um i'll just wait for it to run out and then use estes cool uh you never went through here never went through here that's that's something oh god well this is gonna be this is gonna be funny i don't have the uh [ __ ] stop following me come on thank you holy [ __ ] okay not like shut the door behind them or something oh no but now because i'm coming from this direction they're all gonna wake up yeah yeah i'm gonna get poisoned oh that did not go the way i wanted okay okay okay now will i wake up naked this is the question we will we will all right well that was uh interesting we know there's a chest over there but we can get that whatever oh my god all right uh i have not fully explored the uh oh it's up here yeah yeah uh the castle so i will keep doing that but i am kind of surprised i haven't found anything yet that's uh giving me the uh cue as to where to go seen something like that before just retread my steps and everything should be fine but oh that one's broken now let's just use okay acid doesn't break your weapon skill by the way oh i i did i just broke everything hmm okay those banners in the background are so creepy i love them all right wait mm-hmm these guys just jumping in the water trying to get at me come on buddy roll i believe in you all right oh i just never noticed that was there fight okay it's another ladder here though all right okay a new bow could be an upgrade okay oh they're really trying they're really trying to figure it out like how do we how do we get this guy okay okay i am going to retrace my steps as early as makes sense oh come on stop trying to draw me near the curse okay gotta try just in case nope wait wait whoa wait i didn't get cursed oh never mind never mind never mind oh that was that was uh oh okay oh forlorn a forlorn dark spirit approaches hello there jeez oh i'm dipping that guy's really tough cut you in here to the lair of traps haha you fool you fell for my secret uh tactic okay oh poorlorn dead okay okay it's cleaving and packing our way damn it forgot about the pattern oh my god okay wait am i going all the way back down here i guess this is oh god this room oh god no here like there's a bonfire over here at the very least okay huh yes this is this is the beginning yeah yep i'm back at the beginning huh welcome our guests are treated with tell me the king of giants how did you slay that behemoth incredible now take these whoa sweet that's that's cool the king had a dear queen oh yeah we've heard this yeah okay gone so soon hmm okay go back down oh just to check them okay let's go back down this is it isn't it it's literally been just right there all i had to do was go to the other bonfire and i would have found it immediately wow okay here we are i i have it oh i don't have it on that's right that's right okay [ __ ] okay oh hey you always seem to be here like whenever i'm uh my journey yeah yeah my name is chanalot the dragon gave me this name for i was born with a nun i was born of dragons contrived by men okay by ones who would cause and fate herself they are the ones who created me but they failed i did not come out as intended fate would not be best and men were cursed once again if you proceed nashandra will come after you knowing that you will take the throne and link the fire oh she covets the first flame oh oh [ __ ] okay oh interesting oh that's that's curious okay all right so guys um i just need to confirm like we're not there's you guys said in a previous stream that there's no like point of no return in this game like like that's just not a thing yeah okay cool throne of want [ __ ] okay oh my god this is so cool all right oh okay okay okay this is kind of why i did this but here's the question chat uh who even is this one let's see who it is oh it's vengarl oh that's awesome and then is this one yeah benner benhart ben hart of jugo oh see here's the thing like if we're going into like final boss [ __ ] i want to face it alone but i also kind of like i kind of my main worry is that the boss is going to be too easy you know but you know that could be completely unfounded and that it's like no no no this is actually like like a pretty serious boss but i want to go alone first hold on one second let me do this real quick i just realized yeah i i don't think it makes sense to uh um uh uh to summon or the final boss that's just ah but but it's there's like there's like lower implications and like story stuff with the idea of like oh like like i will help you yes it's like oh okay okay oh wait hold on i have to go back here to let's go back here that's right that's right there is a boss that becomes unavailable if you do the final boss now just so you know really unavailable like like on this entire playthrough for the rest of the playthrough hmm curious if you guys can talk about it in the uh in the discord or something and see like what like because i do want to play all the bosses and stuff but i i totally get it if there's like a boss that's not really like it's not really like a boss or it's not even really like a big deal of a boss you know you do miss a boss by doing it now and it's a big deal okay you guys chat about it for a second i am going [Music] i am going to i got a fire seed hello i did i did got two of them start leveling this one up i'm always here who could i talk to that might theoretically have different things to say you've been well um no interest remember you haven't done all the memory dives if you're unsure of how to proceed okay good looking to that that's a good point it's true it's true okay we could go grab a bunch of titanite shards and just level ourselves up a bunch we could where is this oh and i already leveled up the whip to full that's right if anything i could start leveling up my my badass shield but it doesn't do much to level up shields really um i'll be around [Music] it's the pursuer 3.0 huge deal oh okay okay wiki says that using a bonfire aesthetic will let you face the boss even after beating the final boss oh that's interesting then so would that make the boss just strut like stronger or [Music] hmm okay so my my general thought is i i should be able to find um the tree so i can go do that now while you guys are talking about this um i believe it would be i think it would be here okay oh okay let's let's recollect ourselves so remember the first time i met was it pate you guys remember pat like way back when paige i want to say i want to say there was a right right i want to say there was a um oh [ __ ] never grabbed this restoration what sorry hold on ring of restoration money gradually restores hp what protective ring passed down in the house of australia graduate stories hp in the sacred land of glendale this is an example of prosperity he's fragile and breaks easily ah it hates being taken for granted all i gotta see this that is that is that is actually something though just to be fair that that is something it is kind of cool it's the afk uh item you know okay so soldier key did i ever open this either what ah nanny ruined a athlete wha what this is a hey haha homer bones dude exploring is paying off a lot just getting to find these uh these uh cool little surprises and [ __ ] i sat on me all right okay wait another one dennis dennis the armorer oh okay sure dennis whoa what is that what is that cast okay sorry dennis you need to sit down a bit oh [ __ ] well ice a giant rests in peace oh okay nice this is uh it's a peaceful this this these inhabitants are kind or this this land is peaceful it's inhabitants kind or something all right uh is the ring already broken no what it's broken maybe nothing huh all right um bro thanks for showing me the way but uh all right see you're dead okay okay don't fall careful careful donatello ah damn it donatello i expected more i feel bad for him you know he he's he's usually a bit of a clumsier ninja turtles okay so [Music] in this kind of area but i think over there specifically there's another there's another tree i'm like a hundred percent sure there's another one come on there we go oh mikey some bad pizza okay so how do i get over there again there was uh huh okay there was like a very straightforward path that took me over there like all the time and i just i don't remember what it was hmm i think it actually was um just the it's the straightforward route from uh force the fallen giants right wasn't that it or actually was this literally it right here ow oh yeah it's just right here okay uh actually is that it right there no i'm blind it's like right over here it is haha i found you at me in lebanon okay oh [ __ ] okay we're in the trenches the war trenches okay oh wait whoa oh hey what are you doing here dude hello you are not one of our soldiers and i don't take you for a mercenary whoever you are this is no battle to involve yourself in whether you are guided by bravery or brashness is no place for you all right i am drummond drummond okay and the lord has placed this fort in my hands whoever you are i forgive your trespass but leave this place immediately just mention my name and no man will challenge your exit oh [ __ ] and even if you don't by now my men have not the will to resist [ __ ] soon the giants will descend upon this fort it is revenge for the kingdom's misguided barbarism the venerable lord built this kingdom to bring prosperity to his subjects what has transformed him so i cannot imagine long ago the king crossed the seas pillaged the land of giants and bought back a prize oh it was then that the golems materialized oh are no ordinary barbarians a singular rage burns within their hearts my father and his father both fought the giants on this very land the giants have wills of steel they cannot find it within themselves to forgive the misdeeds of our lord [Music] he will be a thing to topple even if i should die trying my blade may break my arrows for wide but my will shall never be broken i have a theory about what he brought back and i drummond won't go down without drawing mine take these ah there we go i think you may just need them oh ask me why i just do just to help you be gone before the giants are entirely upon us hey jester okay cool a gesture for the gesture all right onward oh [ __ ] big chunker oh my god oh my god oh oh i'm gonna get booted out [ __ ] oh someone to talk to just an item oh booty out okay that's fine i'll go back in yeah the the time yeah that we spent talking definitely was the biggest part i would say whoa my god wow all right all right [Laughter] that uh that that that seemed uh kind of kind of dumb okay so what is actually the fastest way back there i would assume i would assume you could get there from here you go up no this just leads to it a room right right now there is a door here but it just leads you above the place so there's a shortcut i just haven't opened it yet okay huh perfect no fall damage damn it then i is it associated with here oh hello there oh oh [ __ ] wait oh oh oh hello hello hello oh right this takes us back here yeah yeah yeah okay let's go check this out let's just avoid the fire and these little salamanders and just easier said than done i guess whoa okay okay you want to fight you want to throw down oh my god you're tough you have so much health geez i'm getting ragdolled i am getting ragdolled holy [ __ ] let's go let's go let's go these guys are serious just don't lash me through the wall actually weirdly enough oh go go go go go got it hello there buddy i don't wanna bother you just uh doing some exploring these guys are like little little mini bosses oh wow okay okay heavy iron key that's cool that's cool all right that you tracking fire spewing wait oh god this is a bad spot to be in well there goes my uh there goes my uh i don't know 20k souls or something jesus okay okay let's actually go no no pursuer that would have been fun though see him again okay here we go okay let's let him do that even this guy shuddered a bit there at that sweet actually i almost i could probably kill those guys but whoa whoa whoa you can you can backstab the giants oh oh my god that's cool wait then i can just walk up and do this holy [ __ ] that is so cool wait wait is it just me or should the giants be harder to kill it feels like it feels like almost like a there's like a lower reason as to why we're killing them so easily like in a way that feels brutal and like inhumane oh hello hey hey hey spam is getting a bit real let's let's let's uh let's knock that off okay okay okay oh it's just bad game design okay oh built up that little bit of tension in my uh uh okay nothing i'm getting from those all right all right okay okay yes you're right the turtles are harder enemies than the giants that is that is very true yeah i'm not gonna kill them all every single time i was just doing that to see if like they dropped anything or what have you i also don't want to waste like resources and estes and all that whoa whoa that was uh that was scary okay okay okay so that's it all right well that was a cool that was a cool memory all right interesting how many uh just tell me how many there are in total like how many more um uh trees that have memories like this are there uh memories none are trees well they're they're they're representative of giants yeah i i get that i get that like where would the memory be coming from right i understand that but um hence why at the end we always get a giant soul at the end yeah jeez it's hollows going going nuts here oh oh no more here gotcha okay so then [Music] should i just stop looking for them update on testing to see if you can make the missible boss appear with bonfire aesthetic i do not have the skill to beat the challenges required to get the boss on new game plus oh that's i i feel that the the honesty of like no not worth it not worth it it's like i'm good there are only there are two currently immediately available to you if you need help finding them just ask uh yeah if anything just tell me what zone to go looking for or like what bonfire i'm guessing there's gonna be one at this bonfire wherever that is because i haven't found that yet black gulch black gulch that nasty spot here oh there's a bonfire i didn't find ah okay dragon shrine a dragon shrine makes sense that was another spot that i skipped uh like like very much ran through a lot of it felt like all right then whoop what up okay yeah good one d0 yeah that's that's funny oh no i'm getting invaded and i'm like specifically trying to ah sorry uh you ugly they had a feeling they'd be like not a fan of fire okay jesus well that's just a chest ah what i broke it that sucks somehow gotta get up there which doesn't make a lot of sense nope oh i figured it out i figured it out wow yeah unfortunate okay but i need to get whoa i need to get knocked down in order to actually be able to see what i was trying to get to uh there we go it's locked okay but this totally seems like the kind of place where i need to go so okay all right victor if you can make it down here i'll be very proud oh [ __ ] just giants just actual giants living here so oh oh no no see how you handle this i would assume you're oh you are not immune to that it is actually kind of impressive that that does still do a lot of damage to you wow look at it go geez that is brutal forgotten key okay so that'll probably open the uh the door cool cool ring of giants plus one hello i don't know if i have even a ring of giants regular wait my brain yeah increases poise okay this is the one that i could have bought right okay but they didn't but she didn't oh i almost did that oh i'll come back down here if i i need to okay wait you're still here victor uh and the victor shall be crowned i guess you know oh my god that was so funny that was so funny all right this is where the um yeah the i really do not want to fight you out there it's just a uh it's a mad mad world jeez okay yeah there we go oh oh the old guy the old guy yeah the guy was always about the dark the duck yes yes yes leggings short rougher wheel young undead don't let this curse way upon you okay we meet a second time perhaps you will yet traverse the dark if you truly seek the dark okay so there's gonna be some other area or what have you that we'll find him in okay wow there's a whole bunch of just random [ __ ] in this game it's kind of cool how much is like just out there even though the environments themselves aren't as fun to navigate looking for that stuff but that's that's kind of cool all right so you guys said dragon uh shrine yeah there's something at dragon shrine dark souls 2 has a lot of optional content well that's good that's good because then you get rewarded for that like you know consistent playing lots of new game plus and stuff like that right so we already already did that okay yeah we already did that okay so we're gonna we're gonna comb this place we're gonna we're gonna look everywhere right i believe we already it's weird because there's these areas where i can tell you guys are like oh no no you didn't explore this area fully and i'm like but but i gave it a pretty good pretty good exploration yeah like i missed out on quite a lot here or in my playthrough because in my playthrough in general that makes sense but in this zone like literally this castle you know like that that doesn't really it doesn't really compute because it's such a linear small area oh play through yeah that then that makes sense and i'm not trying to 100 a dark souls playthrough like just just let me be clear on that oh my god what i supposed to come back and talk to the dragon oh no come on you're telling me you're telling me i'm supposed to fight this thing this thing it's huge it's f it's huge are you serious i am the size of one of its claws one okay so my thought is it's like an npc anytime you go to fight an npc the first time is you know the most important time so we get a free hit on him i would i be mistaken in assuming that this is essentially a boss like this is not like some like easy fight necessarily like this is like this is like if you fight it you're you're fighting i don't know no it is a boss okay okay then we uh we uh yeah we are gonna uh do some [ __ ] okay okay so first things first first things first um uh health is probably moot point we want something that makes us like like uh needs something that poison no no no that's there's no way that's enough poise actually let's let's do this here oh that's actually that's actually a decent amount of poise oh okay oh hold on that one might that one might mean something then now real question real question is can i even get away with wearing this [ __ ] uh oh that's 70 exactly i i feel like for some reason i feel like this is going to be like a lightning dragon but i could also see it being just a straight-up fire dragon you know nah we raw dog it we raw dog the [ __ ] out of it maybe you want a better shield is my shield like really that shitty let's check here uh 55 oh i want i want actually something like this and just just to hope like wait this one's oh i need 30 strength though right right it's also going to weigh a lot more too yeah all these are going to weigh a [ __ ] ton more i'm not really seeing maybe this one it's worse than fire you guys making bets now did you guys you guys make bets oh [ __ ] okay i think this might be the best shield i have that i could pick then like this one seems pretty good the problem is i lose 10 fire i gained 10 lightning i gained 10 stability oh there's the okay so here's my immediate thought there's all the deaths of course this is a massive arena because it's going to fly it's going to fly and there's going to be points i wish i had my bow equipped actually yeah what am i doing just just equip the bow it doesn't take much uh yeah it doesn't take much to equip it oh wait hold on i have this now oh i have this now oh i have this oh oh oh baby dang it point zero or percent or point four percent it is a strength based one there so if anything let's let's go back to this okay let's do this i'm not afraid i'm an absolute mad lad here we go okay yep it's flying no we have the one oh the wah oh no oh no oh no okay well here we go i wasn't even using my shield so maybe i should consider just equipping better armor i'm trying to think should i try using the shield when when the uh um wait is the buff of the stamina regen still on me i think it is fire resist armor possibly yeah i think i think for one thing the shield this one is better at um oh now it's uh now it's a fog gate okay that's that's kind of them cool you know what i think actually might be a really smart strat is i could throw out life gems at like key points knowing i'm potentially going to take damage anyway and then it'll regen through it while i'm on the ground with iframes because i think estes might be a bit slow so let's use that now i'm gonna guess that they're probably gonna be immune to my pyromancies so that's that's gonna be a thing but okay let's give this a shot here we go oh my god all right let's let's observe now he's gonna he's gonna fly up yep [ __ ] just the the bit of that i need to i need to i need to block okay okay we're somehow alive oh my god he has so much health i don't want to trigger a tail attack so i'm going to hang out right here yep yep run run run run run run run we just have to outrun it yep and we don't want to be under him okay we've got this we've got this then okay he's gonna fly up we go directly towards him yep wow okay actually estes is fine he gives us plenty of time oh okay yep yep yep now we go up yep that that thing is just too brutal yep yep that's wow so i need to put on flash sweat definitely definitely wow okay but i actually have a lot of the things that will probably make this um uh doable i kind of don't want him i kind of don't want him to fly up hmm uh thank you um did i add a death i believe i added a death yeah i think i did flash sweat 100 mandatory i could probably get through the whole fight and i don't know two flash sweats oh chat convinced me to fight it that's why i'm fighting it oh okay okay wish me luck it's kind of kind that they put the the souls back here though i mean i guess it's like a surprise boss kinda okay so we're going to cast this what's something else we could do was there a ring of fire resistance anywhere in the game i uh i feel like there there would be i just must have missed it yeah almost all the rings i have on are exactly the ones i would want maybe no this is good this is good okay so yeah okay let's go i got this that is a noticeable increase in uh but i want to trigger the dragon to feel confident to uh jesus no stop flying stop flying almost got out of it oh i need those iframes [ __ ] i literally need those iframes okay so let's try engaging the boss this way what does he do now oh that's it oh wait wait wait wait wait that's that's something we want yeah yeah do that again do that again do that again buddy yeah yeah damn it do it again do it again do it again right here i'm right here burn me burn me no no no no no not that not that not that okay do we just have to be really patient here we just have to be extremely patient flash sweat is down flash sweat is down wow wow like i need armor i need i need to trigger the basic fire blast at me and then and then i need to go for its head maybe like okay but once i go underneath him i'm basically starting a timer as to when he's going to jump up and do his thing so wow every little bit of health also matters in this one as well okay um huh oh my god oh my god wait a minute could you oh my god i think you could oh my god there's no way it would take so much time but okay we're gonna try it i'm gonna try it just just to see just to see what happens i think i'm going to achieve uh i think i'm gonna cheese the uh the ai yup yup no no that didn't work wait can i not oh oh i see just barely yeah nothing nothing i'll marry you wow yeah i i uh i might have a couple things wrong with this build in order to make this uh kind of a a strat work cause i'm just i'm just trying to heal through the uh the damage that was lucky actually let's try and trigger the tail attack there's there's no way he doesn't have one right oh my god how i was nowhere near that actually the tail attack is more nope nope so much for uh that strap no no wow oh okay okay this is just a really patient boss that's all i think i i think i've discovered the issue the boss will turn to face you when it flies up the issue is not whether or not i turn it in a specific way the issue is that once it goes up and it determines its spot i need to be running directly directly um directly away from where it's facing what oh fine all right the tail does seem to be a uh i uh i'll just kill you okay all right just cut off the tail yeah yeah exactly it's a good idea good idea oh i let my stamina run out there we go okay so rather than waste lightning stuff and all that we're just gonna try and figure out a pattern where we can keep this going and we do have the ability to boost our fire defense with burrs but we have to go and buy a bunch of them which is not a problem but wow bright bugs actually might be also a trick here problem is i just take so much damage you know and what am i doing this for again you guys said there's like a like a specific specific thing one giant soul oh these okay okay gotcha all right well i'll give it a shot i'll get a fair more shots yeah um cool okay let's actually see how i would get our fire resistance to be because that could be kind of a cool test as well just to see i'm running so far and still okay it did a physical attack that's cool so far so good yeah get it in the snout oh jesus yeah yeah okay okay the issue is that if i don't leave his proximity from that point he's just then gonna fly up but if i go in a slight way with proximity in fact there um i have a good one for a catch you later it's funny the jester's headcap cuz i've upgraded so much is actually my best fire resist gear it's kind of it's kind of hilarious uh oh those are slightly better in that regard i'm gonna lose souls by doing that but i don't need to equip the bow that's something wow yeah i have very very flimsy gear in that regard you don't need the shield either that is true that is true yep the shield is just actively slowing me down and we could just get stuff that gives me more physical it gives me a roughly equivalent amount of fire resistance 29 though i guess these are the best but about the chest what's this a little captain armor uh [Music] too heavy and 66. ah if i'm gonna get knocked down no matter what this ring of giants might actually be not as good then should upgrade i mean i should fix this probably hold on this boss becomes stupid easy once you learn to deal with the [ __ ] i could see that yeah cause i mean he's just like any other dark souls boss he has like very like you know specific moveset i i i think i follow his general uh oh come on right there oh right i left my souls at the spot there so i don't need to go back and get it and then bonfire back i could spend a spend a soul here jeez it's almost a level up i'll be around [Music] okay could i get away with using the life ring and then just expect to never get hit with the physical stuff that seems like it might work maybe [Music] um hold on go ahead you sure [Music] what okay um i could go to um i could go to the guy that has the uh blacksmith stuff in uh where is it here and then to be here i don't remember if this guy has anything that i would need wait dogs literally aggro yep large tight-knit shards i guess but no nothing really nope hmm none of these seem to make sense for making my weapon better like i'm already doing quite a bit so i don't think there's any reason to do that huh from the start of time flame allowed man to foolish and even now he did oh yeah i know he sits on a chest yeah and so we wave her and falter the power okay um all right well whichever way do we do this let's go grab our souls either way jesus chill bro oh you know what i actually thought of a way that we could theoretically beat him a little bit easier we could go back to the ladies respect and dump all of the faith and all that other stuff into vitality and then we could make our character just wear chunky chunky heavy armor and then just you know we would get knocked over that's an idea because we have three reese back items where are they uh this one yeah yeah soul vessel it's an idea or pump faith in use lightning i don't think that's gonna make this any uh any easier yeah let's let's let's let's do it let's do it yeah yeah why not i like the idea of min maxing when we face a boss that's you know like potentially like ridiculously chalky like that i i won't necessarily need to respect back it'll be a test to see if i like the way that i've got it built up in the uh still do you uh okay so um let's do this so we can pump a lot more health all the decks back to 40. bump this at least up to 20. we could leave a tunement at six wait no no no we need we need a slot we need literally one slot yes we need one slot guaranteed yeah yeah let's pump endurance up to 30. sure uh we have to put this up to 25. wow we still have 36. wow itself 17 now geez um what gives us fire resist is that actually from oh my god actually faith and all that was giving us fire resist oh huh let's do there [Music] let's do that ah um um we could get really thick there let's actually do [Music] let's do this because now we can use that shield and then pump this up the rest of the way now okay so now at the very least go over to here and we can wield this shield here and we get 90 fire resist through that and then okay okay so that's what we're working with now we go back to majula go over here and we check to see what is the deal with upgrading the armor that would have the best setup or more fire resist can't do twinkling tight knight necessarily because that's you know limited so three three this one's four we're trying to beat 35 oh sorry 33 66 25 29. i think this is our trick our trick and our ticket here so we need tight knight shards which she has in you've been well an unlimited source [Music] let's get like [Music] i don't know check the armor cellar for some fire resist armor that's that's a good idea that's a good idea i don't i don't think the last time i checked there was anything that i remember off the top of my head but give it a quick look whoa okay that's really heavy though i don't think i'm gonna be able to wear that yeah but the smelter demon [Music] armor is pretty good for fire resist wait what was that 32 oh that's okay hmm [Music] um [Music] or 47 or are you sure oh oh that would be easy oh that would be looking for arnold very easy now it's probably going to be upgradeable with twinkling tight knight which is the issue but it looks really cool so let's let's buy it all [Music] it looks really cool thanks for the purchase okay all right let's take a look at this sexy man [ __ ] it's just barely well not barely it's it's a bit above uh yeah it's a bit above day that looks so edgy all right yeah the chest looks goofy i agree [Music] almost there this is giving us extra stamina this is so cursed this is so cursed look at my virginity protection look at this [Laughter] so you finally arrived king dragon show yourself uh this if this comes at you in a hallway like not a hallway like an alley a dark alley you run you run this is this is the weirdest [ __ ] oh my god all right um i want to check to see oh wait is this even better is this actually better [Music] [Laughter] yes i uh i guard the realms of uh of demon kind how many souls do you want from killing this thing from killing the dragon i i would assume a good amount yeah i would assume it's getting like a pretty decent amount yeah like don't don't tell me how much i'm getting like all right smelter demon armor it's twinkling tight knight of course but i can boost it all up by one especially this one it's just gonna be that little bit chunkier three two three i guess i'll do this [Music] try the equip load ring uh it gives a little bit more that's true uh oh there it is it's still it's still a bit out of reach honestly but the difference i'm sacrificing is very minimal so if anything let's put this back here what so we actually want to upgrade this one this one does two this one does three i'm gonna do it twice it'll be six so this okay holy [ __ ] what have we done what have we done [Music] what what abomination hath we wrought jesus all right let's send this puppy in to kill a drag oh my god i'm in love i just want to try something hit me wow this this is so cursed i love it wow wait you weren't supposed to do that you weren't supposed to do that it's beautil all right i'm just still impressed with all this that we're rolling what the bro chill chill chill wait what okay okay okay so because this is basically the end of the stream let's just run past everyone give it what no i'm gonna want to do a few let's do three tries not gonna waste our time with these guys just gonna run past them there we go no five hour stream jesus dude okay if we're doing this though doing this seriously removing that removing that uh let's put here like elizabeth let's put here uh like crimson water yeah let's do this because we can why not holy [ __ ] our health wow let's [ __ ] go are you ready you son of a [ __ ] breathe that [ __ ] at me oh right i still am gonna get knocked over forgot about that okay he's flying okay it doesn't really change much at all i moved i moved ah wow wait wait okay okay we're fine yeah it's not um oh wait you guys think the damage is uh too weak i don't i don't think our damage is too weak we're just trying to figure out how to how to not die blocking the fire uh does work kinda oh oh not oh you're mocking me oh gotcha gotcha okay all right oh [ __ ] i didn't do the thing totally forgot to wear that or put it on okay that kind of no no never mind that did not work okay okay we might have an attack pattern go out here go out here quickly trigger the no no no no don't do that see me see me hey hey hey hey see me see me yeah yeah yeah right here now i'm right here i'm right here hey hey there buddy hey hey good okay hey i'm here i'm here nope oh we did it we did it wow that fire resist from the gear is like not doing anything okay so i have to keep popping that stuff up okay okay that that's that's a good a good start there okay wow thank you dark souls 2. i lost a bit of resistance from the respect that is true wow i almost need to cheese wait you know what's funny i might even be able to cheese a little bit of the iframes of the uh of the like of the explosion basically of the fire i don't think i'll necessarily be able to but don't go for the snout really i feel like the snout is the way to go you see that i can do this no never mind oh did i stagger him oh that did it that was enough to actually run wow so far away no yep that was it cool that was the best dodge of that whole attack i've ever done oh run run run run run run run another good one okay we're figuring it out and now we just we just immediately run or wait do we nope there we go there we go there we go we're doing it we're doing it okay oh my god he's just bouncing up and up again whoa all right he's going up yup yup dude that was that was full on like like a form of precognition like okay so now do a fire blast yep cool and he's jumping he's going up or is he yep yep he's going up we got this yep yep okay i think that's going to trigger him to uh stomp on me maybe nope he's flying he's flying and turn do your thing now buddy yep oh you went to do that that's kind of odd all right now we're already running we're already running oh another one now we run oh wow this pattern actually forces him to completely use his snout ability like like primarily because he sees it as that he's like oh i can rotate and i can get him i'm like haha you fool yep we figured out the uh we figured out the pattern it was a patience boss it had nothing to do with the armor that we had ah there it is oh whoa wait oh what how many souls did we get how many oh my gosh wait oh that's one of the guards okay i was like did someone come over to congratulate me wow imagine if you had the jester's hat i know you know what would have been the most chad move would be to dodge his blast there switch my armor out i i cannot believe it this meant nothing like well no that's not true this allowed me to practice oh yeah yeah anyway oh all right um let's put this back on our bar um there it is yeah 100 and how many thousand a hundred and ten thousand a hundred and twenty thousand how many souls was that 120 jesus holy [ __ ] that's an endgame boss eh yeah i'm i'm glad it didn't die and you know 15 hits you know like yeah like that's an optional boss okay right right cool hey this is uh like three level ups 120 4 000 souls uh [Music] the toughest bosses are the optional ones okay um yeah let's do that you want to respect back and not not yet not yet i haven't given this uh chunk uh spanker this is the funny thing this is a dex build by the way this is a dex build oh it's incredible okay but because we don't need it right now let's put this stuff back on and we can take this off i mean it's still it's still good but let's go for greed and greed and uh cool oh 37 okay wait this one was just flat out better no no that one had 90. so now we can use this tower shield okay this is what a uh dex build looks like ah see decks build that has nothing to do with it but you know dex decks build yeah yeah exactly um [Music] uh i guess we save our souls aha sos um [Music] okay now what's an area i can go to and do something cool in 20 minutes ill vendrick don't don't tell me to go back to the seldora boss arena don't tell me to go back there why would i go back to the spider place there's a memory it better be in the campsite because there's no way i can't is this the is this the post boss bonfire [Music] i see a bonfire here that i haven't gotten and i was pretty sure that i got some kind of super bonfire but i can't warp to those yeah shaded ruins what's what's at the shaded ruins remember when you first met aldia yes he popped out of the uh that one bonfire okay no this just leads to the the pharaohs uh zone yeah no no no this isn't what you guys were i'm confused well either way i'm guessing i need to go back oh the third old guy here [Music] like i remember you oh yeah yeah got him um are you guys meaning [Music] i don't even think you're meeting then at this bonfire right because wait hold on oh that's one of those okay um oh [ __ ] i'm stepping in stuff that hurts my gear yep yep my rings are half broken oh and there he is cool how do i get up to you though [ __ ] well huh okay well huh oh um yeah i have to find a key to open that door so i don't know [Music] what that's gonna do and stuff so i'll be around okay no i think at this point um unless i'm being pointed towards a boss that's like uh like an optional boss or something like that i think i'm just gonna end the stream because i don't have to beat the optional boss i just want to find them then three white doors what three white doors yeah they're not coming to mind [Music] optional bosses are in the undercrypt and by talking to the old guy doors open from the forgotten key oh oh the gotcha so those will be leading to more memories gotcha yeah there's two more okay okay gotcha um and you're saying that there's one in seldora basically the idea of going back there just so wrong i'll go here just to see you can guide me leah i'm guessing i have to go and warp to the other bonfire but i'm not i'm not really feeling that you know but like looking from here yeah i would get my torch out but i'm not that's the thing i'm not i'm not going in there like i'm i'm i'm done with that whole that whole uh that whole portion of my life so bye a sunlight metal solaire so they're gonna show up solaire's the secret optional boss and the flow of time it's it's wibbly wobbly and all that saying the memory in in cell dora's is one of the best lore things in dark souls 2. i mean okay but it's seldora's like oh i wonder if that was a trick oh it was holy [ __ ] that might actually be a trick there wait a minute nice i understand that the memory doesn't have spiders but i i i don't want to go deal with the spiders whoa oh two health two health ah okay well that was a fun i think little mini thing to end the stream on it's been a big big stream here um i found out there's a lot of extra stuff that i can still do before getting to the final boss i did one um part of that which was a big ass dragon but okay okay oh right right oh and then of course i have dlc yeah yeah yeah of course no i i'm aware there's probably a lot of side content it's just a thing of where if the side content is something that basically leads towards kind of like a guided stream i'd rather dedicate the entire stream to that because it has to do with how the highlights are created so it it makes less sense to give the highlight editor something that's like oh here's where caleb like suddenly changes the uh of course the stream for like a specific thing there like that's that's kind of what i'm kind of what i'm thinking about here but all right all right oh sorry gone yeah yeah streams streams ending but thank you all so much for tuning in making this fun and yeah remember wednesdays and fridays 3 p.m pacific time for more dark souls 2. we do do other streams on weekdays at 3 pm pacific time we have a discussion stream with my brother and i on mondays it's basically like just a hangout stream tuesdays we do dramatic manga readings of grand blue and on thursdays my brother's going to be starting up tales of berseria it's going to be a really cool experience for him because it's a game that i played and had a really good time with the characters really good jrpg and i highly recommend y'all check him out when he's playing it on thursdays but yeah take care everybody thanks for making this stream fun and yeah see you in the next one all right later
