[Music] [Music] hello hello everyone welcome hi to evans souls academy oh my goodness we've got another substitute teacher who's joining us hello he's got his tea from the staff room [Laughter] it's very much a case of those who can do those who can't teach because i have not gotten this far in dark souls to my eternal shame um ellen well not eternal shame because ellen's very good at the game um but um but yeah i've not gotten as far as ellen and now the the student has become the master but i'll help as much as i can with law checks and things like that um and and chatting to our lovely audience who are looking wonderful today i might add look at you all they're all saying hello as well good very nice i like that t-shirt it's good oh with my chairman oh i see i saw you talking about mine oh your t-shirt is also good but i was just just you know just complimenting the viewers at home that have one of our lovely t-shirts if you are wearing an outside xbox t-shirt you were probably like have you seen that video that's doing around youtube that's like i showed a scammer his own webcam says yay mike yay lizzy more like welcome welcome to the party and jeremy rock is a new member as well uh that guy dre is suggesting a mic spike already you might as well get out of the way why not okay yeah three if you would like to one mike spike i don't know why this has become the i guess because that's pressing pressing like buttons but there you go magic fingers you can do anything spit spirits spirit fingers magic fingers yeah and jazz hands jazz hands there is a very distinct difference between spirit fingers and jazz crucial all right so got my tea i'm ready to go you have just wrecked up grave lord nito right yeah for those who weren't here last week there used to be a big gravelord in there called nito and he's not neato anymore no he was never that neat very big skull man because he's in bits everywhere yeah he's everywhere right so what i'm going to do is i'm going to level up oh i can level up twice oh right i might go nice yeah you want to spend those soles you don't want to have that much you want to carry that much cash around not in this place i've been looking up some of the some of the horrors yet to come um so lots of stuff to look forward to yay what are we gonna tackle today ellen we're going into the dlc everyone yeah you know dlc for people who've already beaten the game and are like you know super hardcore and it's gonna be really really really difficult i reckon so um it's fine we'll have fun together it'll be great where do we need to go mike i would say probably that we want to be going to the um the garden dart route garden right you know you know the um you know the the bonfire that's in the middle that's like in the middle of that corridor what was that one called scroll down a second bit further down i can't see your heads in the way of one of them oh yeah crystal cave okay that thank you um gosh it must be well hang on we can go to i'll find the name of the i'll find the name of the bonfire if we head to the the undead parish our lovely blacksmith friend you know the noise oh yeah oh yeah we could go that way yeah it's sort of a little bit uh a little bit further near where the hydra yes is exactly there yeah but there's there's definitely a there's definitely a bonfire near there but i don't know whether you might not you might have just missed it i don't know how you'd miss it though because i think you'd have had to have gone through that way it's fine we can get this way yeah this way well like you sorted the titanite demon out right oh yeah oh yeah long time ago yeah this guy who is living here i love your head gear is that did you get that off pinwheel is that the mask of someone rather a little sprite thing in order to save um ah you have to kill this and get it before it gloms onto his head yeah and turns him into like a yeah i think it was dark route basin was the name yes the basin is what we want there we go yeah basins um hang on i'm just gonna change my hat though i do love this hat but we were given have we told you the tale of charlotte i don't think you have but go on go on i'm ready for it we got um invaded while i was traveling around the dukes archives we were invaded by invaders and then she turned out to be a very nice person who gave me this hat oh that's a great hat oh it's these tree tree boys these spindly tree boys no problem for you now with your massive health bar on your job like i've got a little bit more room to play with than i did when i first came into the darkroot gun okay so it's don't yeah don't fall off but it's this but you go a bit further down than you expect or something see there's that lake we're heading towards yeah there it is yeah correct have you already sorted the hydra out oh the hydra's dead hydra is long gone nailed it there's like a four-step process in order to access the dlc which luke kindly like pushed are you still following me yeah responsibly involved he's heard you're streaming he's he's like streaming like hey okay yeah yeah yeah i love this area it's great it's got those oh oh well it's good actually it's fair i'm gonna let you have something all right there's these crystal golem yeah chaps and chapese's around here yeah i'm gonna have a look at the chat while you while you trundle over that way uh loads of people tom titterington says hey mike love you all and good luck thank you for the good luck i'm sure ellen doesn't need it you don't need luck when you've got skill isn't that well is that right take all the luck because the thing is in life one thing i have learned is you can have all the skills in the world but also you know still have bad luck bit of luck helps smash that thing in the head bam oh they're toast i remember fighting these things that it took bloody ages i'm fully leveled up by hand yeah i don't know whether fully but very high have you you haven't uh put a sort of because you can level it up can't you and then you can apply like a sort of elemental damage thing to it but that like resets the damage it's weird oh that guy didn't go down quite so easy uh austin knight is slightly disappointed that uh their crackpot guest of bert fensler for the guest today was was off yeah sorry to disappoint yeah but fensler is unavailable it's very busy man quite a busy group yeah indeed angel b says no you're looking wonderful let's not get into a let's not get into a loop i say no you and you say no you um mr logan clad says yeah it's my favorite people who like to slay demons and monsters go kill him ellen love you mike love you ellen in no particular order love you chat oh it's such such good vibes um is the have you done the so what stages do you have to do today dlc let's kill the hydra done you have to go around here yeah now some people will remember right the end of a stream luke was like well why we're here go over here we went into this cave right and we killed a ghost things okay okay one of the crystal golems but it was gold what's that what's that sort of and then we went into this archive over there and yes we killed something and because we killed you have to kill the thing in here first before you kill the thing in the jeep's archive for it to drop uh i believe it's in this one yes a broken pendant deeply broken pendant deeply enchanted deeply enchanted like the first time i met my wife it's a bit saccharine isn't it for a dark soul stream she's a zombie or something i'm trying to make it miserable again right this this looks important doesn't it you're going to stick your head in there what do you reckon let's have a look let's examine oh dear big mistake to examine anything in dark souls i think probably hello oh oh dear oh dear oh no oh well no no there you go you're off to the dlc uh okay here we go bonfire hooray sanctuary that sounds nice i'm sure there'll be uh no horrors in it'll be here i might do a fair bit of kindling in this bit at some point oh look look at this you are human at the moment aren't you um right now yes see how long that lasts yeah oh bloodstains read messages who are all these people who died here they must have been running away from something else oh yeah running away running away oh oh mashed flat oh wow well what could possibly have killed them [Laughter] let's find out now i think this boss looks quite adorable apart from the scorpion yeah now ellen i'm going to offer you a piece of useful information about this guy yeah which is that you can cut its tail off but only at certain points when it's lying on the ground but if you if you do manage to cut its tail off uh look at that spiky towel uh i think you get to keep it it's like you get it as a memento so how's it going oh they shot the shock power yeah the shock power is bad bad bad when it's the value of the drakes and they're doing it too it's extra bad when it's a sort of lion uh lion eagle scorpion goat hybrid that was a good hit you've got a good hitting but you've got quite a few good hits in on you oh i think you are so lucky you got to chug that as this right there this this one's tough right you know what i was saying about the dlc being for hardcore players who are super experienced don't think i'm going to get this first try no that's fine oh oh you're okay i'd drink an esters from you by the way or are you going to go for the kill like larue oh no oh i got it i got it though i got it i know what i'm doing it's no one it's toast it's toast it's days are numbered you enjoy that victory because it is but a fleeting uh success in the world of pain that you're about to be in your stupid sanctuary guardian um gator nato says oh heck yeah mike this is pure gold that's very nice of you we've barely even started and you were saying it was pure gold so that's good thomas angel says uk audiences remember to wear a mask and bring your own pen when voting today yes it is election day go along you don't need your if you're registered to vote you don't need your ballot paper to go and vote so if you've lost it it doesn't matter just go over there and tell them your address i took mine and they were like yeah okay yeah keno all right kino super keen to vote and it you know affect the future of our nation are you and our city whatever one of our one of our candidates for the uh london mayoral elections is a dark souls character yeah basically basically he's called count bin face yeah um and if you giggle him he wears a bin on his head and he looks like he looks like a dark souls character basically yeah so that's the reality we're living in here in 2021 in the uk if you're an american uh i mean well if you're an american you've experienced good four years or so of wild politics so um yeah but we've got uh yeah we've got darth sol's character running he used to be a lord um it's sorry no he still is a law um but he used to be lord buckethead but then because he's not the same guy then it because of uh i believe copyright reasons did she just need to count bin faith he's got some good policies he's got a manifesto and he's got some good policies yeah i didn't vote for him though no i'm not going to tell you who i voted for but i didn't vote for him [Laughter] you see the candidate name and it's been face comma count yeah there's a little part of you a little chaotic part of you that thinks what if i did just vote for this guy um pablo fierros while you're dealing with this i mean dealing with the formality that is a sanctuary garden uh pablo pablo fierros says thanks val and i'm finally giving this game another try after getting stuck in the catacombs drastically under level i've begun again with the sorcerer run thanks to ellen for your inspiration there you go well it's about to get even more inspiring when you basically perfect this this creature right wait wait wait oh i think you killed it but i'm not sure i don't think i got the tail but yeah we'll take our pictures we'll take them i i honestly i find the battles less fun when i have to focus on the tail because i did that fair enough for uh the scaleless and i didn't get it even in the end and i just felt annoyed so who needs a who needs a tail when you've got a giant sword i look i didn't take a single hit you didn't you'd absolutely nail that guy i didn't drink a single estus you're like a freaking combat computer you went into the first round and you you basically assimilated all the information and went back and forth it's in my code now if you didn't like spike before i think now's the time uh how about how about everyone who didn't click the like button last time likes it now okay three two one like spike for that like perfect wow that was fun vindicator says crushed it thank you crushed it save the last 15 minutes there we go tyler peter says wow tagalog says perfect thomas angel says brutal oh i'd like everyone's impressed my spy hander um uh luke and for the the initial training and i'd like to thank mike for the just it's quite nice going into a boss fight and like the person who's sitting with you being like you've got this so thank you why does that not happen when luke is here no no no no it happens on lucas here but i'm just acknowledging that you were a part of my victory mike oh well thanks i'll take that credit i think it's this one right not having beaten the sanctuary guardian myself i will absolutely take that credit um ali says dorito neato yeah i don't think i don't think i'd go for that flavor to be honest some more of a cool original flavor fan um and stenholt or jan stenholt sorry is saying i'm wearing my merrell when t-shirt how did you know yes amazing right um gentleman drill says hello ellen mike so nice to have you here mike share your souls wisdom with us i'll share what i can but as i've said ellen's actually far more experienced now than me and ellen you've got this artoria should be scared of you yeah but i killed his dog yeah you did kill himself he's gonna be an angry doggy daddy yeah is he gonna john wick me maybe yeah oh god yeah it's the exactly the plot of john wick here we are though in the oolacile forest or whatever this is lovely sanctuary it's nice isn't it there's like a mushroom mummy around here somewhere right you know all those little baby mushrooms that you hopefully haven't been killing yeah go over there big mushrooms is very human indeed yes thank you is that good or bad i think smelling like a human in dark souls is probably a good thing right precisely i thank thee our beau spook train for a start excellent name secondly hello michael ellen i've been a fan for a while and finally managed to catch the stream live and on my birthday can i get a birthday shout out i'm 21. happy birthday bo spook train and also what a great age to be 21. [Music] something of a godmother to princess dusk i've forgotten who princess dusk is i've i've also forgotten who princess justice and i think she just said it maybe we haven't met her actually she might just be a dlc person i'll look her up i'll consult the tome of law and by that i mean i'll google it princess dusk [Music] i think she's in the dlc only yeah dusk of oolacile or whatever i don't have any magic so i can't use any of these oh was it her pendant right ah perhaps perhaps she broke out thou shalt see further maybe feathers was begat of the ancient beast ancient bees and threatens to swallow that i think we save her or something or maybe we fight her like all people in dark souls we either save her or we fight heroes without doubt he will be swallowed by the other gosh she's a chatty mushroom isn't she this one okay so artorias came to help but the abyss is sort of seems like it's taken over his mind yeah artorias is like a good guy really he's like a good guy knight but um yeah he gets driven mad by the by spending too much time in the abyss he goes into the best mess things up that are bad um and then eventually i think it got to him a bit and his dog his poor dog i'm sorry yeah you killed it was like one shot yeah the the doggies like mourning its masters death right but little doesn't know that if the doggie had just bought the dlc let's press on is it me you're looking for ah uh yeah exciting what are those what are those horrible monsters i'm gonna guess leave me alone when you're alone leave me alone they're sort of weird insecty looking fellas oh there he is it's all right you can probably smash them flat i reckon it's got a big fork who brings a big fork to battle is it dead yeah yeah smashed flat the joy of this right hander is that it just smashes everything that is a big boy actually that guy's that guy's gonna be doing the smashing isn't he okay ouch right to the mush but oh oh wait what wow did that even connect did you hit even connect i think it did but he his thing is like a a digger axe oh you like pulled it up nicely dodged right bam get some yeah and now kick his corpse around the final insults [Music] the thing in dark souls is where you get a corpse attached to you and you can't shake it off oh my god it's always it always gets like stuck on my hip it's like rod and emu um right that's a reference for people who are 400 years old uh cool let's have another look at the chat yeah exactly uh jason mendes says so luke had a baby just to not have to listen to listen double time rap i don't know what that means oh uh this is a reference every person has recommended double time wrap to us every single week i see scott jacobs i've mentioned or jokes about law school over the last few years but one week ago i crossed the stage for my jd and you whole lot for a big part of my managing to make it you help me keep my spirits up first point is on me if i'm ever in the uk well congratulations i don't know what jd is but it sounds important like an important bit of law school possibly the end of it so congratulations on getting there and we're happy to help happy to help talking of help i should probably be helping a little bit more that looks like a lift doesn't it yeah just step on the touch plate and it's not it's not not working i'm doing anything harm harm people having a look right okay let's have a look have a look around it's lovely sort of sunset time isn't it it's a glowy thing over there yeah real golden hour place [Music] all right okay oh it's a little pond little pond lovely come on lovely lovely smash those i i can't get over how much those forks look like actual forks what you would eat spaghetti with yeah rather than because that doesn't look like a freaking trident or anything it's just a big fork isn't it oh well what a big four oh oh no absolutely forked oh these guys oh i didn't see it's a big area of effect yeah it certainly is certainly is oh i went sideways come on you ziggs when you should have zags you just kicked that guy's box right into the air i love your hat does it do anything uh i believe it helps with uh some sorcery stuff oh where did you come from oh dear oh good dodging very agile i'm all about the fat rolls with my uh my dark souls oh okay this is somewhat tense but i think you're doing you're doing well it's always difficult in this game when you're multiplying more than one enemy right like it doesn't matter how good you are at the game or how like leveled up you are or even really what the enemies are when there's a few of them it's just really difficult to focus all i can see is dust all i can see is dust oh oh boy wow you are you're getting some lucky escapes at the moment tyler peter says they angry they hungry they want to eat you there we go there we go oh i've got one of them very well done now kick their corpses into the lake twinkling twinkling tide tonight it's lovely um okay okay adam allen says last week when talking to patches my poor little calico kept in and was like yes what do you want i see like a little cat little cat kept coming in and saying what do you want that's nice any gamer reviews says good morning mike and ellen how are you both today i'm well how are you ellen getting smashed up concentrating concentrating hard this is the first stream i've got to catch the while since i've been recovering from a gallbladder attack ouch ouch so getting to finally catch the stream really brightens my day well i'm sorry about that i hope things are uh getting better and that you're well on the way to recovery it sounds horrible so yeah thanks for joining us i hope you're feeling better adam smith says mike's so glad to see you glad to see you too i've named all my souls characters michael lucas after watching your streams from two years ago ellen the glow on your face perfectly reflects your angelic nature thank you wow yeah i can't control the sunlight so i'm a bit bright that's cool the dark souls are named after me and luke but you're gonna have to work out whether whether the character limit allows you to put a reference to ellen in there as well uh supercoat says mike amazing to see you on the stream it's amazing to be here it's nice uh go cars yes that is my catchphrase ellen you got this best of luck hugs to both of you you do got this element you do got this bam and you

couple of sips right where is she i hear her hello hello charlotte welcome back oh wave hello doing that with his fly handle looks extremely dangerous [Music] i said hello she dropped a little pebble thing i don't i no idea how you do it but um you can drop a little pebble thing and it goes hello so is is uh is is dark invader charlotte going to help us out a bit or uh let's have a little little wander are we gonna should we follow for a second every time i get invaded in dark souls they murder me oh she's dropped a thing what is it fireball eight wait 85 firebombs yeah that's a lot of firebombs hacks absolute hacks well i mean we could just go and firebomb lord artorius in the face [Laughter] emote for this that was weird what's that on the floor now oh armor of some kind chester's long coat ah chester very nice oh my gosh what what's happening she just oh she agreed a dragon okay the dragon's gone it's fine oh my goodness well i missed that i think a big dragon came and landed on the bridge and then flew away again yeah okay probably would have been a dramatic moment miles away hanging out in the garden fine we can all imagine we would jump by attacking yeah uh frodo dragons donates thank you come on come on yes lovely uh lucas barnes says hyland and mike i decided like so many others to play dark souls managed to defeat all bosses up until the moonlight butterfly in one attempt then immediately lost 16 000 souls to those damn tree boys who kept chasing me oh man that's that's gawling yeah what happened did charlotte fall off the edge i don't know charlotte's gone no no no was that she's like my work here is done but you didn't do anything didn't i it doesn't say say that she's gone but no it would it would say probably charlotte wherever you are thank you for the cool coat ah she's hiding in the tree these are the little trees that she look like unless that is her okay this is so this is so bizarre oh my gosh fine ian knight says woo lord buckethead stood in my hometown always regretted never voting for him before i moved away and gyllenborum says praise the bin [Laughter] with a waste paper basket lovely very good very good okay well there's a big coliseum looking thing over there ellen yeah just saying just saying but there's also a secret little path up here from the look of it can i get out there can i get up there or will i fall through you might fall i'm sure there's something cool down there that can be found but let's let's just head towards the big cool colosseum looking thing oh oh this is cool naylan blake says the happy coaching and ellen's pluck have encouraged me at age 61 to pick up dark souls for the first time onward to victory ellen it is never too late to play dark souls it's a great game um so well done you naylan blake i hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoy it i think happy coaching is the thing isn't it like it's um it's the opposite of get good scrub it's more like have fun scrub yeah give it a go see how yeah try your best scrub that's our message try your best scrub good luck have fun scrub all right sort of a brave word oh i can hear oh there you are sir right i kind of think i can get it's just gonna be a risky jump oh yeah do the drop kill thing yeah come on don't forget to lock on but oh no he didn't didn't do it never mind it's only a fork guy i mean you can smash them flat anyway yeah drop kills are just fun though yeah it's true it's true it's fine kevin f says count bin face sounds like he's probably related to vermin supreme i don't know who vermin supreme is but i'm gonna look him up whoop okay i think i got a jump american performance from the performance artist politician and activist i see similar to camp in face then okay okay jim klein has a good tip for you ellen which is that if you're going to kindle a bonfire this one right after the sanctuary garden is a good one right suppose this before artorias and it's walkable so that'll be the yeah the the one in the in the ul sanctuary right uh and talking about taurus uh ryan kottanich says super excited to see arturia is easily my favorite boss in the game ellen definitely has all the skills to take him down also colby the doggo says hi colby's a great name [Music] he's a good boy he's a good boy colby colby's a good boy colby is a good boy i hope colby's listening and going absolutely wild at the moment uh mick lorty is a new member welcome mick thanks for joining us if you are not already a member of outside extra considerate little emojis of our faces and stuff emoji is the plural problem our happy little face down we go and then we go back up oh dang oh these stories are so good joel greene says shout out to my wonderful girlfriend laura she tried to she decided to try dark souls having never played any video game before and smashed gwyn last week that's incredible what a way to start your video game playing career i'm just gonna do dark souls seems straightforward that's amazing well done laura crikey well done very very good well i think it's interesting because you do do you have to like unlearn a few things when you're playing dark souls compared to other games do you think maybe coming in fresh with no but it's still also like just that gosh scared the crap at me um also just like having to um oh they're like pruning tending to the royal garden the royal wood or whatever oh that wasn't good ellen he's just trying to do his job oh dear oh dear big scissors oh they're pruning you now oh and it's bleeding damage as well oh dear it's fine not much bleeding damage ouch yeah i found that with like the the only real one that you have to worry about like with the damages is poison yeah poisons are real or the cursed one okay you encountered curse yet i i have kept away from curses i've nearly been cursed but i was bad times yeah it was very stressful particularly if you've have you already done you've already done um new londo right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so that's the only time we're being cursed is in any way useful oh look at these jerks boys look at these monstrous jerks well while you run away from them i'm going to read a comment from aditya guy tonde i've i've brutalized uh that i'm sure but um i did my best hello to both of you you guys the reason for positive mental health all over the world but what about you how are you guys love and support from india i'm all right i think i mean in the circumstances obviously the whole global pandemic thing is bad yeah and boring but um but just waiting out and waiting to get my vaccines and stuff so i can um we can start approaching normality i think the good good thing for me is that all the news coming out about the vaccines is like really good yeah the suggestion is that it reduces you know the chance of being seriously ill it reduces transmission it reduces all sorts of things so vaccines good um how about you ellen how are you doing you okay i mean i don't mean in the moment where you're going well i've just died otherwise how are you doing okay yeah good good hope everyone is is doing okay it's difficult it's still difficult times right it's it's in a way it's even more difficult because the the way out of this pandemic feels so close and it does it's like just within reach yeah and we've just got we've just got to be patient for that last little bit [Music] it's it's a tricky one but we'll get there we'll get there we will we will get there we just got to be sensible just got to be patient indeed we'll get you through it you're going to pop back and get your souls there must be quite a few of them in there aren't there yeah in that little soul bag that you've left i mean we sort of we've been running around mashing stuff up but like in terms of distance we didn't feel like we made that much sort of distance from where we were before but it's difficult isn't it because this entire place looks quite similar it's all a big garden oh don't get in over your head good oh my god no no can't afford to die okay fine always you can always run away you can always just run away they can't take the coward's way out yeah that's my teaching for you this is the first bridge wasn't it this is the second bridge where the dragon came is this oh this is the dragon bridge isn't it yeah oh oh gosh she really rushed you there like they're all doing it you're definitely gonna get caught how can you even fit on that bridge surely he's just run away it's fine there's no shame in it there's no shame there is nothing all right okay silas are [Music] says hello and well met the next dr silas song is currently in production a ballad telling the tale of the spicy rat caper i hope you will all enjoy it yeah i wasn't really there for the spicy rack caper so i'll look forward to hearing it via the medium of song sonia brennan says wow luke looks different 10 bucks on ellen wiping this whole dlc in one session like the absolute legend she is have fun guys love you all i used to have a good chance really to be honest you've already bagged your souls back we just need to go towards that big coliseum and see what see what's in there i reckon have you played any demon souls ellen no i have not okay but do you have it for the ps5 i do i played a bit of it it's good it's very pretty very very pretty it's good because i went back and looked at old demon souls and it looks like absolute trash it's good that you can play it in prettier vision now right these guys caused us problems last time didn't yeah maybe if you can kite one of them oh no they all just wake up at the same time they've got that weird telepathic link they sometimes have oh my goodness please let me lock on no i want you to lock on thank you it does work better if you ask him oh yeah your fireball you also have 85 fire bombs i might remind you the fireball thing makes it look like you've just got really nasty infections on your hand good dodging well dodged oh come on i hate less well dodged oh oh oh oh yeah chug it chug it energy drink let's go smash off with his head oh that attack is a real pain that's fine it's fine like one more hit and that guy's toast lovely stuff come

the right back down at the sanctuary right no maybe not no we're at the coliseum you don't walk into a coliseum like that and not expect a giant fight so over there don't know let's find out i can't see how many estus you've got left but i assume it's loads i've got four that's not that many is it but that's fine what's this what's this all candlelit ah hello sir oh it's chester fancy hmm you've got that coke let me guess i've got your coat mate shadowy limb snatched by a shadowy lemon dragged off to the past yeah correct yes or no yes of course exactly what happened to me we're both so he's got a bunch of anything good alluring skull you've got a real real attractive skill there did you happen across night artorias not yet legendary chitchat walker from the old tales well if you haven't it's just as well this is a real joke if you ask me i think everyone in dark souls finishes their sentence by like laughing creepily what did that giant mushroom what did that giant mushroom make you do a sentence what did the giant mushroom make you do you do yeah what did they do i have little to talk about really he looks so bloodborne like he looks like he's from adidas he does actually he looks like he's been pulled by a shadowy lip out of bloodborne yeah hmm okay i have little to talk about really okay oh you know me what do i know okay right well there's that oh there's a way down there oh there's another way up that's oh maybe this is activated the list that goes back there right yeah that's what i was thinking it would be right so okay i mean now that that's active you could kindle the bonfire maybe or yeah am i getting confused fire from here is this definitely where i think it is or is it a different place wait wait if you go up the stairs yes yes go in here go up those stairs yeah and there's a thing at the top which i collected and i collected yeah so you've done you've definitely been here before yeah definitely been before and to work out the way through i'm already lost oh leave me alone leave me alone leave me alone leave me alone leave me alone why do that rattling around okay well let me look up a map let me help you out by actually looking up a map of whoa oh this is it oh what's down here sarah just because i've got 64 000 souls yeah it's quite a lot isn't it really use them before dogs oh dear don't fall down a hole that would be bad yeah smash those dogs up so yeah you went across a little bridge to get to chester didn't you yeah sorry i'll let you concentrate on murdering these dogs dogs yes that definitely pops you out in a big area but if you if you sort of walk out that area and run directly straight you'll end up back at the back of the sanctuary it's up to you whether you want to go back and kindle the old bonfire and get your estuses back and things like that it might be a good idea before you have a cracker artorias or you could argue that you're probably not going to be in first time and you should just i don't know just have a have a go what do you reckon [Music] i reckon let's give it let's give it a um let's run back quickly okay and it's across this bridge and then it's up that lift that you just unlocked and there's it straight ahead it's literally straight ahead yeah so as you go i mean that guy might still be hanging out at the top obviously but as you come out of here out that door it's like straight opposite so just like make a bee line yeah uh and it's over on the other side that's the entrance to the sort of sanctuary bit over on the yeah other side you might be able to see these enemies where uh there's the bridge there's a bridge do you see it down there let's go and make a deposit in the bank of dark souls um and then we'll then we'll go back and we'll just run past all those things and we'll have a good old cracker artorias right just don't fall down a big big hole or anything they definitely shouldn't be allowed to come into this into the sanctuary that would be that shouldn't be allowed we go they've given up okay there we go all right so this bonfire probably a good base of operations right yeah right let's level while you do that while you do a bit of dark souls admin uh gav crazy 100 says gonna have to watch this later because i'm still catching up on past streams but i'm glad to see you're still going go ellen go ellen go and zachariah's best and says hello beautiful people can i get a shout out to my dad gunner who we just found out is cancer-free thank you for all the happiness and difficult times you've really helped well congratulations to gunner and that is just the best news really to be honest so i'm so glad he's uh he's making a recovery well done in remission uh samantha godsey says my husband watches your videos after work almost every day to unwind we're both big fans would love it if you could give him george a shout out hello george i hope you're having a good time unwinding um relaxing and thank you for joining us thanks samantha for for for the mention in the shout outs yeah but face just says hi hi back hello to you gaming with crimson knight says first ever super chat for ellen absolutely steamrolling that guardian chimera thanks to rx for all the inspiration general positive vibes and hope for life despite the darkness loved you all well yeah that's a lovely message thank you so much and yeah you did steamroll that chimera absolutely nailed it all right vanessa kettering says i like this channel because of the have fun mentality well that's what we were saying right have fun scrub um also mike do you know of the vintage grand prix in pittsburgh this year's car of the year is corvette i had not heard of it but it sounds great sounds like a great event vintage grand prix of pittsburgh sounds awesome um nocturne prividini sorry i've probably ruined that but there you go uh inspired by ellen to do a dark souls playthrough just got to anor londo thanks for being a major inspiration we that's great because you know if you've gone to anor londo you've you've gotten the bug right you're you've been bitten by the dark souls bug and it's such a cool moment when you get to another for the first time um i'd have to worry about spoilers because you probably wouldn't be watching this far into the livestream series if you're worried about uh spoilers for anor londo but yeah i love that moment where you sort of rise over the wall and the sun's out and it just looks amazing it is right off we go you ready for another big boss then oh yeah here we go hello shaun harkness says my son was seven years old when he first beat dark souls 3. i was so proud i would be proud he sounds amazing but also i i am maybe less proud of myself though i also still haven't beaten dark souls 3 and i am considerably older than seven years old but the thing is about kids is they're so adaptable and they learn exactly and they're they're more cause i'm a tired old person there's a reason why professional gamers basically retire when they're like 22. yeah because they just passed it yeah it makes me feel so great you know what else makes me feel great this message that says i can't i can't take this yes rating 8038 here we go here we go traverse that white light oh my god oh dear oh wow oh gosh well there he is oh it's not finished well he seems nice this is what good guys in dark souls look like oh he's been corrupted by the power of the abyss oh no andy knows what you did to his dog ellen he knows what he did to his dog doggy daddy is angry i just defended myself i'm sorry sure you did all right oh dear oh he's throwing the corpse at you right well we're in it now we're absolutely in it ellen he's fast as well and that that hit for a lot of damage oh boy oh boy okay fine fine oh dang yeah close his distance quickly doesn't he oh okay that's a triple okay that's a triple hit okay yeah that's good to know would be nice if someone had told you beforehand though yeah oh my gosh boy hard work okay hard work yeah i'm dead i'm dead that's fine okay so he's very spinny he's very extremely spinny and he zips around quite a lot okay this might be one of those fancy footwork jobs yeah a bit of fancy footwork it's all good well i'm glad i spent those souls yeah yeah it was well spent i think merrick wolf says just finished my run left so many years ago so i could finish it before ellen so my honour could be somewhat safe given that ellen is so good at it yes congratulations on on finishing dark souls i still need to do it i really do i talk about it so much i'm just frightened frightened that all my skills have atrophied and that if i play it again i'll be rubbish so uh silas um amdesius says you can always run away clearly mike's not watched ellen played dark souls before yeah you never run away or do you always run away kill most things fine that's good that's good um and brian sternbach says ellen's souls academy also starring charlotte also charlotte yeah this commute is nice and straightforward isn't it yeah now that i'm glad that we worked that out because now i've got you can see the smoke wandering around [Music] straight into it no cutscene to compose yourself now that was a good dodge yeah have some of that oh no oh no oh he had he had some of that and then he gave some back uh okay oh he's gonna jump nicely dodge very very good very good well he's got all sorts of he's leaving bits of abyss everywhere okay let that stamina replenish grab the souls okay good dodging absolutely loving it you're getting some good hits in and he's not far off half health so i think you you're gonna have this just don't panic basically oh oh i'm lucky with timing and that is a really big hit that one nicely dodged right good yeah use that opening to estes all right watch out oh yeah no i was missed enough time yeah yeah it's fair no fair wow no he doesn't doesn't give you much of an opening does he really do anything bloody estes animation this was a call of duty game you'd have quick quick reloading just like drink it instantly we've got a bit the the big ones to watch out for the the big circley swipey ones yeah that one takes a ton of health off delete the leap's big as well as that yeah angel beat says you're doing great ellen i lost 100 000 souls once that must have been a bad day at the office i would say uh topper 17 says hey mike and ellen been tuning in to your streams in between classes and finally graduated last weekend thanks for helping me stay safe well done congratulations on graduation uh brandon knowles says no other game will matter when mass effect legendary comes out next week are you folks excited about any other upcoming slash new games i've been playing a bit of resident evil 7 8 even village it's fun i like it i like it i think the um it's out on friday isn't it so yeah i've heard it's reasonably short uh i don't know for sure but um it's got great atmosphere all the castles and the tall vampire ladies and so cool vampire lady i mean that's the that's the thing everyone is most excited about yeah i think it is actually um she's amazing all right let's go ellen you got this you got this right nice big hit to get started all right fine fine nicely dodged dal dude that got him right yes oh yeah you got in midair in mid-air though that was quite good that was a good hit what's he doing is it while he's doing that yeah that's when to do it that's when to do yeah when he starts charging up his son of a that was a sweepy sweet right just yeah take your time i guess and um nice nice all right oh that's the spinny one well avoided well avoided right i guess look for an opening to have an estus yeah oh my gosh can you do it so he can do three after that and he can turn in mid-air so that's good to know i know that now beautiful minding it i like it yeah it's just i just keep smashing my head against it until until i accidentally beat them and that's how i don't i've done that for a lot but i'm trying to be a bit more like analytical about it i like it i like it it's good it's sensible uh stephen paul says oh we have mike today hi mike hello uh barnaby is tied for my favorites are there any plans for more gravity rip when luke gets back i don't know maybe maybe i don't luke's away for a little bit so um i guess we'll find out when when he's back with what we what we're doing but um yeah um i would have thought there'll be more blades in the dark certainly i mean it's still going on and things yeah we've filmed some stuff in advance so there's plenty more blades coming but we're approaching a sort of season finale uh but i'm sure there'll be more blades after that because we all love playing those terrible terrible people that are our characters yeah um barnaby probably the most terrible of all most unbearable certainly uh what else what else sawyer sweetheart says can i get a hate yo for my partner he's got his second shot and is recovering today thanks for making thursday's bright praise the sword squish splash sun well yeah hey yo to your partner um there's no name there but i hope uh yeah i hope he's recovering well after the second shot good work getting fully vaxxed yeah all right come on we can do this this is definitely we're definitely wrapping this up you've got like an hour we did a spinny one first yeah that's cheating that's cheating good dog [Music] hit you with a trip didn't he right it's all about wow wow seriously chill dude okay why don't you do your charging up thing yeah perfect right okay he's not got that many moves do you know what i mean no watch out for spinneys spinning ruddy spinneys oh opportunistic but i like it i like it he's down to half health oh gosh last minute dodgers lush oh dang i just yeah just like my shoulders yeah exactly nearly there nearly there he basically gave you a bad haircut and you died of shame that's that's what happened there so annoying um i've got a close shave i've got one of those undercuts i've got an underground yeah an unplanned undercover asymmetrical unplanned undercut yeah uh nick cohen says first uh firstly longtime fan of the channel and so happy to see you all live any plans to play return on the channels i have a code for eternal [Music] yeah bloody hard yeah it's it's one of those things that i don't want to stream because it would be too frustrating like it hears me playing dark souls but it would be i really have to concentrate to play it like whereas dark souls is about quiet timing and you know i can talk in the bits when we're walking through there's literally no like no breaking [Music] yeah i can imagine it'd be a ruddy nightmare to stream yeah it's really cool it's really cool um and like there's some intriguing stuff story-wise to it that makes me want to keep playing it but basically if you kind of like the the hades style roguelike you know you gradually make it easier and easier as you go through for each run but you're still doing multiple runs of the same thing so maybe if i get real good i can do like try and attempt it all in one but it takes a while as well it's like sort of three hours to do a level or something mad yeah so all right come on then let's sort this guy out he's twisting my melon man oh that was unlucky but didn't do much damage so don't worry too much count buddy you just got to bait him into making moves he can roll too that's cheating rolling away from things is our whole deal yeah smash that's it smash smash smash lovely timed roll perfectly tightened the area of affecting connecting have a little sip my zero souls grab your your complete absence of souls oh well avoided spinny thing oh no less well avoided anything okay keep your distance lovely lovely lovely oh i moved that's so unfair that's baloney arturous you just pound his head with fireballs fire bombs like 85 of them from charlotte it would be a bit cheating well you're doing fine i don't want to cheese it no you just need a bit of luck but yeah i actually need not to get clipped by those initial things uh ryan catanic says when ellen defeats artorias i would not be upset if you helped her find the silver pendant to fight manus might as well mop things up in the dlc right uh e for burn says this stream has been blessed by my favorite stray cat a big tomcat i call dipper that they just like get a little bit stuck because sometimes yeah it's all about like it's a bit like playing fifa it's about using a sprint at the right moment to get around and stuff patrick long has an idea for the ox shorts channel which is the time jane locked the boss out of the boss fight room with a chair on your vampire the masquerade halloween stream i remember that that was pretty funny yeah i'll talk to james we'll see if we can put it up on the on the ox shorts channel way to avoid a boss fight i think our most popular shorts is you ellen um playing cyberpunk and yeah he's got like a proxy i think it might be our most popular video we've ever now yeah well close to it's over eight million views 30 seconds of nonsense but i mean don't get me wrong it was hilarious but um yeah i'm gonna see if i can find out what the latest number is really forgot to search for sure you just get a load of nonsense oh good good back into it straight back on the horse ellen smash him in the head lovely all right back up i don't know why i'm i'm giving you like moments like i'd be able to do it any better oh i went backwards you're still alive right you're still alive though oh that triple do you that's it that's it thank you yeah yeah thank you you idiot you absolute idiot you colossal boob what are you doing nice okay okay i think we're gonna snatch victory from the jaws defeat here oh i don't know how you would have avoided that though because like i mean it's a spinny thing it's by its very nature circular come on do your area go and treat us oh no he's running towards you oh she's that lunge oh yeah oh oh boy oh boy we really need him to do the area reflecting now no no oh you know absolutely more than halfway that time we certainly are yeah and i've decided that i'm gonna two-hand this because i'm not using my shield i'm not using my shield yeah you're not yeah this is it i just i just want to dodge as long as your timing isn't completely thrown off by the different attacks that you do when you're when you're two handing it it's about it's about the same cheeky like uh pine resin on your sword or anything as well to just to really i could do i've never messed them up i've never done that do you have any in your um i think i think gold pine resin yeah a bit of lightning do it right before you get in the fight oh dear oh dear oh we shouldn't have come around on that bridge lads let's talk about this you're just scooping stuff up with this form [Laughter] that's kind of funny um okay okay you know what why not everyone has wanted me to use gold pine resin in the top does it last for until you die or is that how it works i don't know i don't know but we've used something it makes the sword look cool it looks very cool that is by far the most important thing um what i'm gonna do quickly as well is uh clip that last hour so that i've got him murdering me multiple times always useful always useful here we go uh cody dunbar says hi everybody i can't say long as i'm at work but i just wanted to say to you go you go ellen you've got this there you go encouraging i think you do have this now uh and lionel l says tired old person mike get off my lawn uh elsa mclachlan says hello again from the hebrides question for you both which dark souls boss do you think would make the best prime minister oh look your pine resin's run out um you know what let's try it with that one more time all right i'm gonna hand it and then if it doesn't work two handed then we'll then we'll start mashing up the the pine resin um dark souls whilst best prime minister uh [Music] i don't know i don't know it's difficult isn't it i mean gwyn is already you know used to being in the seat of power so he wouldn't need help learning how to rule okay oh spinnies more spinnies oh crikey okay oh no oh boy they're much slower they're much slower hits aren't they but the two-handed is the problem like they are more powerful but it's a bit of a it's a bit of a it's the heavy hits that slow so that is about the same as that i guess so yeah i guess so yeah it is it's just it's just i'm not good i've not got any the defense is much lower right right so but i like the defense isn't much against him because he he's a heavy hitter soon stream uh yo-yo says mike you should finish souls next featuring orchestra yeah yeah i mean you know i i think i'd be extremely bad at souls on stream i think i'd just be frustratingly bad at it um because i find it i don't know i find myself compelled to talk a lot and then i play display really badly um yeah this is why it's why i brought luke on i was like luke if you talk me through it if you just do you talk i can concentrate i don't really there are streamers that do it where they're playing and talking and i'm like i don't know how you do it it's really difficult it's extremely a friend of mine ellie is like playing bloodborne and still reading all the chat and things like that and i'm just like how are you astonishing multitasking there that i am absolutely not capable of uh el nyaya says so what period in english history is this i don't recall giant mushrooms or fork we wielding weeds um 16th century i'm pretty sure most people outside of britain think that uh it is a fairytale land featuring talking mushrooms and things yeah um i watched those um princess switch movies you know the christmas ones oh yeah they're like going to some like some country which is basically like fairy tale britain and it's it's kind of adorable okay that looks good that looks good with the pine resin it does so it helps a bit but like it's not a massive massively helpful maybe he's like immune to lightning damage sorry i thought he was going to do a jump [Music] hmm he's looking all right though it's getting well yep nice oh dear that was like a dragon punch straight out of street fighter okay fine fine he's down to below half health though right so well just nearly just below you never know if he's gonna do two or three such a jerk oh boy those slashes well dodged well dodged yes no wow we you're still alive that's a turn up for the books that's okay i just had to do that quickly yeah absolutely yeah you nailed it you're back to half health so well done nice well yeah good opportunity to smash another estus this is good that's good stuff oh boy oh boy well dodged again yeah yeah yes just let him do his thing we don't even need an estus at this point easy i say easy it looks pretty difficult to be honest you're doing a great job oh spinny but you dodged it oh dear oh that's that's you're still alive somehow somehow you're still alive somehow ah i did a little screen melon i'm not into it well done all right fine whatever whatever whatever mate oh no i sidestepped it oh the spinny this is so tense sorry i'm not helping by saying it's tense am i charging this why not yeah lovely oh okay fine fine oh no less than fine i should i i took a gamble and it didn't pay off it was the gold plain resin was it pointless basically a total waste of time wasn't it yeah fair enough well there you go audience all you people who want to see everyone who's always asked for gold pine rides in oh yeah right i've got i think okay i think we've got this i think we've got this oh yeah you're so close how is it good you're so close we're gonna get him we're gonna get him uh nathan aunt says if by the time i finish typing this she hasn't defeated him would she consider going tanky and wearing the stone light armor along with havel's ring and the ring of steel protection i don't think it would suit the play style really so that i would just have to completely rewire my brain yeah thank you though i appreciate it the way i would appreciate it's definitely the way i would approach it but um yeah but i'm not as good at dodging as you are your dodge timing is is like so good compared to mine um because my immediate reaction would be to dodge far too soon and then i would get clobbered anyway whereas you'd like time it really nicely so uh carolyn waters has a bit of life advice and says sometimes the only resolution to killing someone's dog is killing the owner as well caroline i don't want to know how you learned that that life lesson but uh yeah charlie pierce says i smashed flat the lord of cinder yesterday watched the credits roll and then remembered i hadn't done this dlc yet [Laughter] [Music] still a great achievement obviously nice nice yeah with the resin it was 570. right she's throwing some fireballs on this one while he's doing that don't worry about it it's fine i think just maintaining your rhythm is the most important thing i suppose oh boy good dodge oh wait what oh that was his dragon punch that he only ever does every so often to wind you up fine oh boy oh boy nice okay fine good fine and good fine and good fine and good yes good connection and good dodging and another good hit oh no but spinny's spin ease ah bobby's charging up what an idiot what an idiot yeah just have a fireball as well why not right in your face lovely oh he didn't like that actually did he didn't like that at all oh wow that's a big stab isn't it that's a very big stab yeah i missed that and this time it's all right that was um that was good some good learnings there yeah i've got to be careful sometimes when he does the overhead spin he then lands and does a spinny spin yeah it's bad it's bad times bad times well plenty more of time to talk to the chat though gothic butterfly says i was playing code rain anime vampire dark souls basically and lost over six million haze which is the equivalent of souls not happy oh yeah mike allison says strewed a strad for the other new dad i don't know what that means but it sounds good made a caramel and cream sauce added icing pack injected into an apple strudel wow that's amazing amazing oh yeah it's safe for him updates from someone that lovely right well it must be this this mike allison character yeah good save for hot caramel apple goo that leaked onto my foot render sunder those who wish you har melon good tip for life as well uh sergeant sweeney says stuck at work right now but can't wait to watch when i get home good luck ellen thank you thank you sergeant spoon thank you for all your chats so far it's been great we're trying to get through all of them sip of the tea yeah good call i'll have one as well because this is difficult for me too it's really not this is the most relaxed i've been in front of a screen that is showing dark souls ever i think probably so yeah there we go there we go nice it's always nice to open with a good solid hit leave your spinny stuff out of it oh he's doing a charge up yeah i have some fireballs yeah in your face in your face oh okay fine but it's nice to do makes me feel better oh oh sorry it wasn't as bad as it could have been i think it's that double spinny hit this nasty one really nasty so fire doesn't affect him lightning doesn't affect him oh oh dear big swords of the face affect him but they're more difficult to land shield and sword for some reason ah okay i don't know why uh what else daniel delgado says arturos is one of my favorite boss battles not only in salzburg born but in all gaming enjoy are you enjoying i am and i'm not like you're making progress i'm making progress it's a little bit frustrating but like fun frustrating yeah it's an interesting challenge i think you know that you can do it it's just yeah you know yeah like all the great dark souls bosses like you know you can manage it you just need a few things to go your way exactly yeah it's just there's just like a couple of things where he's changed like the patterns change and i'm like no i was used to the other one uh jammer 77 says just wanted to ask what's become of the wednesday challenge streams really been missing those these last few weeks they are not gone uh it's just that uh i was off last week andy's off this week um so we've sort of rested them a bit also there was a there was a resident evil embargo uh yeah yesterday and andy had prepared a lovely video about resident evil village and we figured if that's going up for the embargo like you know there's no point in streaming as well and and taking drawing attention away from that so um they'll be back i'm sure we'll play some jack box and things and uh be good fun uh legally cool says hi ellen mike in the game been in front of your streams and videos for years celebrating my birthday today here in the philippines so cheers to you all over there well happy birthday legally cool uh you know is it the birthday where it became legal to be cool um we legally called previously so many mysteries about you leave me cool but i'm glad it's your birthday happy birthday and uh we're gonna beat this boss just for you and everyone else whose birthday it was yeah why not why not you're never going to use them all are you really not well lovely timing lovely timing yes nice oh no oh yes it's okay it's fine it's fine it's fine you got this you got this you got this you got it you got it it's all yours oh there you go now yeah cheeky chug still alive bit more health this time and he'll do his area of effect yes thank you plenty of time thank you artorias you got this you got this it's amazing how bad that area of effect like how badly you'd have to be messing it up to get hit by that oh you should be right up in his business that's new yeah has he done that before he did that once last time what what where did that come from what maybe because i got hit by that stuff that made me weaker i mean maybe wow i've been hit by that before and it's not like i had he probably ran you through basically i mean i know that's like the biggest hit that is the heaviest i must have like always just had enough health to survive it previously okay gotta be careful oh my goodness oh my goodness these things can just absolutely do one how's the chat doing right chat says the aoe thing isn't actually an aoe it's him buffing himself so what he must have done was like powered up and then his next couple of attacks are super powerful wrong you can actually charge in there and and have a go at him if you like while he's doing that there you go and but does the blast at the end do i want to just like go in for a couple of hits but the thing is that that charge up is also like good it's up to you yeah and it's up to you i mean if you if you have if you have need of estus you could use it to drink your estus but it sounds like if you don't need estes at that point you could just pile in and start hacking away and you might even interrupt it yeah maybe thank you uh thank you chat uh nathan han also says his aoe is a buff let his buff wear out okay so that's the reason why you got absolutely motorized because the buffer was still active but is there a visible way to to see if it's active um i don't know i'll keep an eye out right i'll see if anything visually changes when he's done it yeah because his hits are like doing damage but not like massive damage at the moment right he's gonna do it now just go in there and my try and motorize them or something oh yeah okay so when it's yeah when it explodes that's i see right fine fine so the explosion still hurts you but while he's doing it you can you can actually get get in there for a hit if you want but it's risky isn't it but like he's all on fire now can you see how on fire he is that clearly means his buff is active and then we can just like dodge him yeah well okay key learnings yeah key learning there was no opening for esters ever again even jim klein has another tip which is because you aren't powering try using a great shield you lose parrying but blocking costs less stamina and some attacks bounce off leaving enemies staggered and vulnerable hit why do you use i'm just not using my shield at all right right right yeah yeah i know how to hurry yeah yeah it's fair that's fair uh kazan he may says you've got this ellen all about timing it is all about timing um thank you to everyone who's mentioning the the aoe thing being a buff much appreciated yeah sorry it's taking me a while to catch up with the chat to be honest um but yeah there's so many lovely people so many lovely people joining us saying lots of cool stuff all right all right simon ah says i donated the ds art book when we met at egx after not beating the tourist demon for many years i've now beat it and finished the game congratulations john the book back um i'm not sure who's got it i'm not sure exactly who you donated it to but um meeple of britain says decided to treat myself after voting today and picked up demon souls pre-owned i want to give these another try and you guys have inspired me with your guys love the whole rx team keep going ellen thank you tales322 says dark souls prime minister it's obvious isn't it it's got to be trusty patches he's even got trusty in the name lol yep he is approximately as trustworthy as most of our politicians right armed with knowledge which is the greatest weapon of all uh we're going to beat artorias now knowledge and a big sword the two joint best weapons you'd struggle but at least we know when he's buffed right this is when you really want to be avoiding those attacks nice nice yeah his buff does nothing if you dodge all his attacks ha sucks for you artorias oh boy okay okay all right i shouldn't have said that i apologize i regret the language i used um so how long does it take to run out this buff oh boy it's still going isn't it he's still right fine oh nicely done good opportunistic estus there oh how i don't know that's nonsense that's a nonsense that's an absolute monster right oh my the dragon punch the ruddy dragon punch yeah get hit that was unlucky i think a couple of things just didn't go your way there yeah sometimes it is like which which attack like at the beginning the last three times he started with the jump and spin which is really easy to move out the way of but the fight that one he came in with a spin attack yeah yeah patrick long says i think the fireball can interrupt him but i don't know for sure so maybe you could lob a fireball just see if it interrupts his buffs well that would be useful lob one when he was doing it and it did nothing right but it didn't stop him doing it or anything no okay fine eric just says you got this ellen just stay calm and remember to breathe is important to breathe ellen just in general i'm quite a fan of it oh my gosh may sunshine the sick flip sword witch thanks for all the fun streams helping me through the last leg of my phd the sick flip sword which hard to say if you've had a few drinks but it's a good name autism tuxedo says running heist society tonight with my in my uh d d campaign good luck ellen this one took me more attempts than i'm proud of there's no shame in taking many attempts oh my god oh my god what's happened here they followed me i stopped for two seconds and i had a bunch of them on my channel right all right i want to change [Music] dee turley says love you guys we've got to ask when will you be stars on cameo we would pay so many monies to get you guys to say things well you sort of in a way paid money to get me to save your message so there you go i suppose like you could just do a super chat on this stream that is like hi mum happy birthday from mike from outside xbox and i guess i would probably say it you know and then you just clip that recording out and send it to your mum it's like cameo but more convenient uh timothy moscow says uh the aoe is actually damage buff if you've got the health you can stagger him out of it and keep his damage output down yes yeah i i can't seem to be many situations where we'll get at him quickly enough to stop him from doing it because you're sort of right here we go there you go hey nicely done well done i just was lucky enough to be close enough yeah shut my mouth basically uh okay cool it sort of explains why we we've done sort of okay in terms of getting him down to like half health but then have kind of struggled to make progress beyond that it's because he's been buffing himself and then he's been buffing himself sounds rude but um you get the idea hold it oh boy well done nice nice lovely lovely stuff oh oh okay fine you might need to use your estus now but he's going back to the he's going back for you you could try and just jump in and stab him it's not gonna work is it all right fine fine fine fine fine well he is buff but on the other hand ouch okay fine hold it oh i moved but you did slightly dodge it right it didn't do as much damage that time where you hit your square basically nice oh no okay maybe estes now oh sorry yeah it's really difficult also he's going for the buffy he's going to the bus he's going for the bus delay of like a second and then oh he's so frightening when he's all buffed up isn't he [Music] oh come on it's a yikes oh boy that was yeah good dodging yes solid hits solid contact right it's that bit in every dark souls fight well you're quite close and you just sort of panic a bit then you see i think his buffs run out now because he's oh boy nice uh bestest and stuff oh it was so close so close don't say that i'm available yeah at least if you i mean lots of people talking about the the aoe attack and stuff but i think we did benefit there from the fact that you got him out of it the first time when you just had that opportunity so if i'm close enough i will you can either let him let it uh yeah lots of people like girl norton talking about it and timothy moscow talking about it as well um stephen klamat saying you can stagger him out the aoe and it will prevent him from getting the damage buff yeah uh thank you so much for all those tips um chris martinez donates thank you uh and tom island says finally able to give you some financial support been a few tough years thanks to a lot of great help i'm in a really good position again thank you to whole oxbox team for the fantastic funny and cheering videos that can be untold smiles thank you so much tom and i'm glad things are looking up for you as well um yeah so thank you for that and i'm yeah i'm glad things are bad things are better uh james david eastwood says my wife linda is feeling poorly and you guys make you feel better shout out would mortify her and maybe replace the illness with irritation at me well linda hello uh hope you're feeling better soon or at least just angry instead of ill chris martinez yes thank you for your donation uh uh funsie7 is a new member welcome enjoy your emoji and things we got this ellen it's fine i say we i'm i'm not helping much to us but um yeah if we can uh maybe sort of get an opportunistic uh thing when he's when he's trying to buff the first time i think that will probably make a a big difference in terms of the damage he dishes because he sort of walks away doesn't he like a coward like he's trying to escape yeah so you know when it's happening oh and again yeah you got him you got him you got him oh okay okay fine fine regroup but he's already down to like half health okay good fine that missed for some reason in fact he's not doing a ton of damage really so that was absolutely worthwhile so i think someone was saying the buffs stack so the more he does it the more powerful he gets so that's something to bear in mind i suppose yeah he's not doing a ton of damage so clearly after you know before the first buff he's not actually that powerful and your hits are doing more damage to him okay that did hurt okay he's going for it so can you sprint in there and like do a jumpy stabby yeah yeah you did it yeah you nailed it brilliant good work got a good feeling about this one i shouldn't say that yeah don't don't [Laughter] please don't i've got a bad feeling about this one i think it's gonna be badly wrong i don't know what to say i'm gonna just i i'm just gonna i don't know just talk nonsense i guess that's great nice nice [Music] yeah you did it amazing amazing oh but he's sad probably now well done praise the sun yeah praise the son that was amazing made a world of difference getting those yeah you guys so actually his hits were doing very very little he had a couple of big ones obviously but he's doing very little damage because you were blocking his buff fine well thank you to all the help from the people in the uh comments who helped us with that one as well um yeah very good well done everyone yeah jake thomas says hey lovely people popping in because i missed the start the stream due to uni placement at a nursery loving it good luck ellen got to watch on vod lots of ggs and yes is in the in the comments and lots of praise for sons as well well done well done do i go through here i do explored a bit that isn't a white light bit first i guess but that was great that was really really good you nailed you nailed it your timing was on point it's just obviously because we weren't stopping the buffs yeah he was just every time you got hit as time went on it was harder basically so uh yeah you made really light work of him in the end yeah lovely it's it's finding like most of it is just finding the pattern it's just finding what it's like your dodgers are on point but yeah you know it's just it's difficult to dodge everything but you were dodging most things which is like half the battle after he's had a few buffs like it's just one hit one hit is all it takes basically i can hear loss yeah nathan allen was like take a look artorus is resistant to everything but physical damage you just have to beat him semi-risk is a new member welcome uh dream146 says ellen you have the fancy dodge ring which may help what's the fancy dodge ring oh the fancy dodge ring i don't know whether it helps it kind of just changes up um i i switched out i also in that last one i didn't have my good stamina ring um but there is a fancy it's the first there we go that one yeah i mean you don't really need it but it does it does a fancy dodge it's quite pretty um i'm not convinced that you should only be able to wear like two rings i mean i for one are wearing three right now yeah right you could you could fit a way more just put them all on yeah put them all on like you can fit multiple rings per finger just put everything on and become like totally op yeah nonsense anyway anyway what's up here anything nothing interesting so there's a locked door and there's another hole in the ground over there and i picked up a thing over there okay so i mean look up this silver pendant that someone mentioned no that's just a load of actual silver pendants that i probably can't afford anyway there's someone fighting something here who's that who's that no it's a ghost okay oh but there's another bonfire oh lovely lovely i can hear a lot of horrible things i really like grumbling noises and things monster scrambling souls so there's a silver pendant in the oolacile township which i assume is where we're heading now right um yeah you need to use you need to use a light source to find it apparently but okay just doing some some admin yeah bit of admin landon shelling says just tuned in to see to immediately see a victory achieved screen well done nice thank you it took a few tries daniel delgado says congrats now link the bonfire after artorias to the max you'll need it later also reload the area and go back to the boss arena weird there must be something in there or something well i kind of want to go through that fog door because often fog doors are just like another area so i want to have a check yeah or the gazebo what is the gazebo jello sounds sounds good though doesn't it sounds nice sounds like a place where you could wait you just go ah it's um battle of stoicism gazebo oh it's like an arena for fighters yeah yeah that's so you can this added multiplayer isn't it it's the gazebo of course right um i'm gonna pop some humanities oh my god pop that humanity yeah do it epicurean bard says where all the magic rings becomes thanos profit yeah nathan says dark souls 2 gives you four rings but it takes so much away as well i don't mind dark souls 2 it's fine it's just like you know it's not as perfect and wonderful as the first game obviously nimble attack says oh no not the gazebo milk dribbly says save the clip save the clip yeah i'll do that now as well actually i think it took about an hour for me to do that probably but it was well well done yeah dark souls footage is so precious when you're a youtube channel oh my god yes list features and things because you can't ever go back and and get that stuff again all right red sky says can't wait for the manus fight i need to know what this manus fight thing is so i'm just going to do a little bit of law googling uh and see what the story is gosh i can just hear horrible witch things being like yeah man as father of the abyss is the final boss of the uh expansion i mean he looks nice let me give you a picture he looks friendly uh fine well we're not gonna miss him if he's the final boss but the silver pen apparently helps with that stuff okay okay okay gosh no these guys look friendly wow this is one of the greatest things that artorias was murdering when you sort of dropped in on him they look horrible i hate the way they move yeah i can just hear screams when i kill them oh dear oh that's all good okay so that'll bring me back up here another shortcut yeah this looks cool this whole area squish big squish big squish absolutely massive squish oh what what what is this oh dear oh dear oh poison poison's the worst do you have any of the moss and stuff that removes it done done yeah oh god i can hear them everywhere oh there you are classic dark souls just like right in the corner yeah right in the corner oh god cv here hello stupid gangly arm thing [Music] secret bits oh it just seems to be taking you all the way around again down down okay fine oh oh i don't like the way they walk it's it disturbs me it's like that have you seen that like where they run along like that you've seen the spider-man meme where they do it yeah [Laughter] don't like it at all uh right what's this all about dead end but i can probably roll down to there okay if i want to uh mr logan cloud says ellen so far what has been your favorite two bosses and least favorite two bosses uh favorite i do think artorias is one of my favorites actually i like them and i like havel i like the ones with swords and shields um but i also liked gaping dragon dragon just because it was did you absolutely monster gaping dragon though yeah i didn't find it very hard at all i i killed it in one go yeah oh marvel's chester he's the he's the shop guy yeah marvellous chester's the shop guy oh he doesn't seem friendly what's he do is he got a cosplay that's cheating wow you absolutely ruining him oh was that all about i like his hats though this is a nice hat vanquished so is he going to be a jerk about that when we go back to the shop oh of course yeah yeah it's just he was the shop guy as well marvelous chester okay this seems like a trap but it's not a mimic is it yeah oh it is a mimic ah they look so weird why do they need to look so weird dark souls very good god i can just hear everything just yelling ah there's the steps okay liam olson says by the way just letting you know you can tell a mimic by the way that just joking loving the stream great uh job slimey says ellen made this game looks so easy that i tried playing it for the first time absolutely smacked flat yeah just all i think the thing with dark souls is you need to sit down for probably about three hours and just dying and then after that three hours as long as you do it in like one session you'll be you'll actually start to feel a bit more confident with the combat oh no no no no no no oh that's good that's gone [Laughter] what was it 20 000 souls yeah that's fine that's nothing you're going to want to go you're going to go for it however you say it okay okay okay leave those ones it's fine we don't need to worry about chester as well do we um you guys leave me alone just legit i'm just legging it because we've not got long till the end of the stream so that's true actually we've got about seven minutes you can get the souls back uh brian's turn back just says i can't imagine playing this while wearing three rings it would get in the way of your controller is that them is that your souls down there yeah oh oops oh don't do this to me alone it didn't let me it didn't let me go down i had to go around that enemy didn't like it didn't like it right fine fine we're gonna get those souls we're gonna be fine we're gonna be just fine oh you jerk leave us alone what is oh no mike mike this late in the game it's nothing but for me it's so many souls you're like fine you've got that billionaire energy yeah uh gazette dragon says shines for the keep one thank you i assume i'm the cute one of course you are mike they're adorable we're all cute in our own way yeah well i mean even if even if we get no further in this stream you've done extremely well like artorias was tough and you nailed it so that is very very good these these guys like deceptively quite difficult i really don't like their arms i do not like the way their arms move it freaks me out on a primal level uh jamie mcnally says absolutely loving this series any chance we could get a hollow knight let's play after we'd love to see that i've heard a lot about hollow knight but never played it i like hollow knight but also i i just wouldn't i wouldn't stream that is it too difficult it's fun but it like there's like frustrating bits so if anyone's never played it but you've played things like ori in the blind forest and stuff like that like they're all get it's it's like a puzzle platformer as well as being a souls-like i see a bit like celeste right that's very you're right you've got like 5 000 souls just from that coming back here so losing 20 000 isn't so bad i suppose yeah oh who left all this blue mess everywhere disgusting disgusting it was this guy i can tell all right what are we looking for just a bonfire or something uh i don't know just a bit of progress bit of rubbish rubbish okay that's what we're looking for absolute rubbish oh hello sir where did he where did he come from nimbletac says 2600 watching but only 1400 likes time for another light spike i think so yeah yeah let's have a light switch if you're watching and you don't like it why are you watching gotta like it that's a good point there should be no one who's still watching at this point who hasn't clicked the like button because otherwise why are you here some people may have just left but that's fine yes everyone everyone who hasn't hit the like button if you would like to please like it okay after three three two one like spike please thank you thank you um oh oh oh oh what's this no no do you think it might be an illusion try rolling i don't think it is no i think it's someone being cheeky but wait wait wait wait wait because this there is a silver pendant in but you need to cast light on it have you got a cast light spell or the the skull lantern i have the skull lantern yeah let's go lantern out see what happens because it might be the right one and you get the silver pendant and apparently that helps you against the guy at the end of this whole deal you've got so much stuff you've got so much more stuff then you've got some of those forks yeah just in case you end up coming across some giant spaghetti you've got three skull lanterns yeah come on you are carrying so much stuff yeah yeah yeah is it round here somewhere though i have no idea hmm huh i'm gonna look at a map again i'm looking at map i'm trying to be helpful i'm trying to be as helpful as possible there she is deal with these guys and i'll work out what's going on with this wall thing it's all nonsense hmm ah dark fog it isn't there it isn't there they're being tricksy oh is it the thing there did you end up in that you know when you went down that little side bit and it just sort of ran out here what's this sort of a hero there's a little way in there hello hello yeah yeah yeah so you know when you know you found that bit of the the thing where you were like oh but i can go around here and then go down and then it just was sort of a dead end yeah that's where it is right okay so let's go get that if it's not too far away if we're not irritated yeah one thing like giggling away and it's horrible ah that's not good we're heading downstairs yeah we're gonna head back head back this way this is where where all the dead guys were yeah yeah yeah it's been that way come back up here don't accidentally fall off things yeah yeah yeah keep going keep going keep going [Music] yeah it's back along here back over this bridge now it was up here wasn't it like to the left yeah yes if you go left now more left hang on hang on let me just get this guy no no no you don't have to jump across it it's it's an illusory wall near there ah these have a light shone on it or something kill this guy in the corner because this was sort of a dead end wasn't it yeah here right i think it's around here maybe hmm is it there there where like yeah sort of airish let me have another look you stay there for a moment because i might just have to like roll down there i'll have a little thing there to get as well i'm just looking at a map type thing oh yeah you do need to yeah you need to roll off that dead end basically but like sort of laterally oh no that is a stair gosh excuse me right so as you come down to the dead end yeah then it's yeah it's down there to the right yeah across you should be able to just do a cheeky role hopefully right it's around here somewhere so pop around the corner maybe yeah yeah here we go hey job done silver pendant it's in that chest yeah okay never trust the chest there you go now apparently that thing's like super useful against the final big boss of this this dlc i'm not sure where you go from here probably you have to drop down again maybe somewhere or oh oh oh dear there you are miss oh she didn't dodge yeah that's the ones with these ones they're a bit you can she's coming with me she just can't let go oh there's two of them oh dear don't accidentally back off a yeah a ledge there we go it's good it's good dodging
