31:01 He went hollow and lost all of his sanity. That's the reason why people dumped undeads at the asylum (the very start of the game, remember? When you returned to the asylum, the knight, who earlier had thrown a dead body to your cage and then had given you estus before death, also was completely hollow and attacked you), far from the living souls, while they could. Insanity (zombie mode) is the fate of most of your companions from the Firelink shrine and, eventually, your grim fate too. This is why everybody struggles for the humanity - this is the only way to pospone the inevitable end. Only some people may be saved, but a precise action is required, which is not likely in the casual playthrough. The strategies are sometimes wild: to save one of the knights you have to avoid contacting him for the first 2/3 of the game. He is immediately doomed if he meets you too early.

Hey Amber, don't forget to go to the DLC. When u defeat the last boss, the game will end. So u have to do everything u want to do before u start to fight him. The Way to the DLC ist hard to find, u should watch a video about it Edit: I gonna explain here, how u get into the dlc, so be aware of spoilers! Remember the Hydra in Darkroot Basin? If i remember correctly u killed it already. Just go left side to the waterfall, hug the cliff and run until u reach the end of the sea. There is a crystal golem, that u have to kill. A Woman will spawn out of it. After that u head to the duke's archive (thats right there, where u are at the end of the video). The first crystal golem, that u will see there, if killed it will drop a Broken Pendant. With that item u can go back to the darkroot basin where u killed that golden crystal golem. There u can go into the dlc now.

The edit at 42:30 got a chuckle from me. Feel spoiled with two videos so close to each other!

Using the painting portal sound, as was promised.

So this is a neat little subtle detail but remember when Patches died in the Tomb of Giants and in the loot he left behind was a humanity? That's the case for most NPCs if you kill them, but when the Crestfallen Warrior attacks you in New Londo he doesn't drop any, because he's gone hollow. Also, it's too late to do it now in this playthrough but a neat tip if you ever replay it: when you get the Lordvessel, don't bring it to Frampt. Instead go down into New Londo right away and beat the Four Kings (you'll still get the key from the NPC even if you haven't handed in the Lordvessel, all that's needed is to have received it). Something interesting happens if you do this.

This is easily my favorite Dark Souls play through on the interwebs. You're doing a great job!

The compound in onions that hurts your eyes is created by a reaction between two compounds within the onion cells.

Otherwise put a fan in a position that will blow the fumes away from you.

The places in this game are like a series of microcosms that I dreamed up when I was a kid in my backyard. Like you, I thought the same about Ash Lake linking worlds; like, you could go up another tree and be in a completely different world, or maybe a different version of the same one. If you look out into the lake the trees go beyond as far as you can see, like individual blades of grass in a vast field.

You can cut the dragon's tail off without angering it. Also, I'm pretty sure there is something interesting on the underside of the bridge leading to the undead settlement from fire link shrine. Potential spoiler for boss weapons: You need to speak to the blacksmith in anor londo to ascend weapons to boss weapons. It's been awhile so i think the weapons need to be plus 10 (for example the scimatar to +10 to then ascend it to a boss weapon) they do not tell you this at all in the game or even hint at it

You can take the boss souls to the Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo. In order to obtain a boss weapon you will also need a base weapon to combine with the boss souls. When you speak to the blacksmith, the option to ascend the weapons will let you know what base weapons you need for each boss soul.

You did not miscount, if the boss fight lasts long enough, a total of five „kings“ will spawn. Quite a nasty surprise when it happens for the first time.

It’s kind of crazy how much these games have changed over the years just because of the community. It’s such a solitary experience. If you want to see what it used to be like, there’s a famous DS1 video called “when you go dark souls with your best mates” that really shows how different it is now.

im happy you went back for all of the amazing secrets. the look of amazement on your face was just priceless! great video again. cant wait to see more!

"Wait, is one of these my friend from firelink?" No. These were the maiden and her ² guards near Petrus. They weren't there very long, but you did meet them. Your "friend,' known as the Crestfallen Knight, went hollow after Frampt appeared. You met him earlier in New Londo, and he forced you to kill him. I suspect that hollows dont remain recogni*able after a few killings. My guess ts that NPCs who go hollow and you kill return just as all undead do. But the quickly become indistinguishable from the others. Which honestly might be a blessing.

Another great episode! I love how thorough you are, going back and exploring bits you ran past earlier. Havelling up against the Four Kings is a great strat, it's one of the most recommended ways of killing them. The number of kings can vary as you found out, a new one spawns every 40 seconds I think, the fight is a real DPS check. If you are really overpowered by that point you can end up only fighting two of them! If you end up fighting them again it's worth knowing that they can still take damage from the shared healthbar while they're in their death animation so keep hitting them as they die to make the fight go quicker. 1:07:05, "Do I need to keep the ring on in there?" - yes you do! There's even a unique death animation if you take it off down there, though once you've beaten the boss you don't need it for some reason. Looking forward to the next one, you're really on a roll at the moment!

There's a crestfallen knight( a depressed soul) in every Dark Souls franchise. And all of their fate is tragically similar.

After Bloodborne and Hollow Knight I'm watching your videos religiously again. I'm excited to hear in your video you'll be playing Dark Souls 2. Please don't start it with prejudice. Ask people not to give their (usually hearsay influenced) opinion. Playing them in order, if you plan to play them all is the right choice. Happy to see you're having a lot of fun. PS don't forget to finish the DLC before killing the last boss in DS1.

I must say you got some pretty good instinct for fights. Already shown in some previous ones for sure. Using Havel set for the Four Kings fight was the best option there and you had both pretty good, but also pretty bad luck! The constant grabs and fighting 3 kings at the end... The fight persists as a DPS run really, because at regular intervals another "king" spawns, but they all have individual HP bars (meaning you can kill each of them) and an overall HP bar (to win the boss fight). At most you can fight with 5 at a time i think (even though there are 4 kings), but even so, you might be dealing a specific amount of damage that you kill 4 kings and there would still be a little overall boss HP left, allowing for another set of 4 kings to spawn. Anyway, good job on it all, your instincts told you well to just attack and finish it off. Got two lord souls so to speak, two remain. Good luck with the others ^^

one of my favorite things abt dark souls is roleplay as the player character. ill casually imagine/feel it when i play, and i like imagining other peoples characters and their playstyles as other individuals in the story world (individuals of the same presence and character as onion man or sun man etc) i love how you play and how you talk while you play. i imagine your player character as a chipper lady, starkly contrasted by the grim and sober dark fantasy world, who is equal parts capable and silly. she pushes through the hurdles set before her because frankly she just was not raised to give up, no matter how brutal the world is around her. a very fun and fitting character for the dark souls world i feel like i would LOOOVE to see you do an intelligence run and a faith run and a dex run, if you ever want to do any of those!!!!

Really proud of you for finding Gywndolyn all on your own 👍

when using prim stones to track heights, look at them while falling. If the rock smashes into tiny pieces the fall is lethal. If not, then it's safe to jump.

You can still fast travel to the extinguished bonfire in Anor Londo, you just can’t rest at it or travel from it. If only you’d carried on a just little bit further at the end. Just around the corner from the second armoured boar is a new bonfire! Those boars are tough but weak to lightening, as far as I'm aware those are the only two in the game though. BTW if Frampt is asleep when you visit him in Firelink Shrine just give him a whack to wake him up, he won’t mind. 🙂

And (not to spoil anything in Elden Ring, so I'll be very vague) there's a boss fight in Elden Ring where in the distance you see these ethereal looking pillars/trees. People have theorized that all of the trees lead to different worlds. I'm not sure how much stock I put in the theory, but it is still neat to think about.

To answer your question about why the Crestfallen Warrior(guy from Firelink) attacked you, he went hollow. People in the game tend to go hollow when their life loses purpose. His purpose in life was guiding the newcomers on their way to ring the bells. You rang the bells. You did what he was unable to do, and he gave up because of it.

I'm impressed how well you handled the Four Kings fight - the RNG that you got on your winning attempt (the sheer number of grabs and AoE bursts they did) would usually end attempts very quickly. Most people who fight that boss tank through everything and pray that they don't grab or do the explosion before they die.

Just making sure: there is no need to check out the deties in Anor Londo! Lady Gwynevere is enjoying some well earned rest there, no need to disturb her! There are multiple deities in Ba Sing S-uuuhhh Anor Londo.

The more humanity you have, the more likely every enemy is to drop loot. It makes death even riskier than it already is

Hopefully not too redundant in mentioning this, but that can happen with the onions if they've been left for a while before use/if you got them from the store after they'd been sitting their for a while (right before a restock). I've had this happen and my best fix for it was to just try burning a candle while chopping, it honestly didn't help a ton but it's not nothing 😅💛

Ash Lake is (as incomplete as it feels) arguably my favourite area in Dark Souls. It's so eerily peaceful, but considering the lore ramifications it's also very sad. I don't want to spoil anything, but it's worth re-watching the opening cinematic to make the connection.

hahahaha she was soooo close to the bonfire when she ended the ep lol literally 2 feet away

shes back, shes had a snack, and shes ready to attack!

Man, I wish you had "unlocked" Gwyndolin in the more aggressive way by heaving a fireball at fake Gwynevere's "amazing chest ahead." That scene of Gwyndolin's illusion wearing off of Anor Londo is just so cool

The imminent lizard message that you looked at when you were in the abyss was there because Kingseeker Frampt, your gaint serpent friend, actually has a brother that you can meet there...

Put on Havel's Set, cast power within with a decent pyromancy glove and cast Power Within. It wrecks the 4 kings, and Gravelord Nito for that matter.

This ans siff are my favorite DS1 boss fights

It's unfortunate you didn't get to see it, but the hydra in Ash lake will actually jump over the landmass you're on if you get close enough to the Everlasting Dragon's tree.

the lord of the rings references are amazing, please dont stop them

51:08 So wait, you've never seen the Mouth of Sauron? Probably one of the best scenes :)

The spells reveal a lot about the world, especially the miracles.

That Painting sound effect was a nice callback.

If you want to try your hand at a magic based playstyle, like you mentioned in this episode: Dark Souls 2 has a new discipline of magic called „hexes“. DS1‘s dark magic is not the same as DS2 hexes by the way, although there are similarities. I found hexes more enjoyable.

About how to use Boss Souls to create unique Boss Weapons, you can search it online pretty easily without getting any spoilers but I'll explain it here as well if you want to read further. So what you need to do is upgrade a standard weapon up to +10 (standard weapons are weapons that are upgraded with normal Titanite instead of Twinkling or Dragon Scales for example.) And depending on the weapon type you upgraded you'll be able to create specific Boss Weapons, for example for Gwyndolin's Soul you need to do upgrade any bow type weapon to +10 (not crossbow). For the Soul of Sif you need a +10 greatsword type weapon (Claymore for example). You can search online what weapon types you need for the other souls like the Soul of Quelaag or the Core of an Iron Golem.

You know what, I've just been killing Igward so much that I forgot he gave you the key to the seal XD

Hey Amber, try getting your kitchen knife sharpened. It might be really dull and thats why you're having issues with onions. When the blade is dull it crushes many cells as it cuts, releasing a lot nore of the gas/vapor/whatever that makes you cry. When your knife is super sharp, it releases way less. If you've got a friend/family with a whetstone and some knowhow you might be able to get them to help you, otherwise you might have to get it done professionally.

3:57 Technically, it is dead. Just Undead. I had the same reaction upon first seeing Ash Lake

The everlasting dragons had a nasty habit of not dying well so there are afew that are just pieces of dragons that are clearly rotting but not dead..

I'm sure everyone else is saying the same in the comments, but you were on the right track. If Anor Londo is deserted except for Gwyndolyn is Gwynevere actually there? Definitely something you should explore, there are more things to reveal in game.

Love the Lord of the Rings references in today's episode

if you want to play if the physics of the bodies, try rolling in light weight, you can catapult them with your legs. Also about weight, its not progressive, it comes in stages: light, medium, heavy, overweight

You got citric acid in your eye right before the start of the stream. Your brain will ignore pain in the eyes after awhile because using them is very important, but they were still raw and missing some layers, so were more susceptible to the onions you cut.

Yes, you can tail chop the everlasting dragon.

When you do get around to playing DS2, try magic there. Melee can be wonky if you're used to DS1, and the magic system in DS2 is vastly improved. You can do sorcery or miracles, or go into pyromancy or hexes a bit later on that require both stats but are more powerful. An idea would be to do some upgrading at this point. The boss paths provide a ton of chunks as you've noticed, regular ones in New Londo and white ones (for Divine) in Tomb of the Giants. You probably need to read up on the upgrade system because it's messy, but basically at +5 or +10 of a regular weapon you can either upgrade it to the next tier, or change into an elemental path like Divine or Fire or Magic. With your stats just taking it to +15 is probably best. At this point you can take any basic weapon to +15 and it'll be comparable to your Black Knight Sword if you want to change things up.

if you end up playing Dark Souls 2 after this, try out sorceries or miracles! magic is vastly better in DS2 in general (you can even free-aim spells with the binoculars), and there's a lot of good weapons that scale with Intelligence and Faith

@@JoblessBuhdda that's a fair opinion to have, they're certainly very powerful in DS1 but in DS2 you can get more casts and a greater variety of spells. plus there's consumables to restore casts, armour that buffs spells, four ring slots instead of two (which means even more spell buffs). individual casts might not be as strong as they were in DS1, but you can actually play as a caster without relying on a weapon because of how many casts you can have

i finely crafted shield for a few scraps of moss that probably grows everywhere anyway- what a deal

It makes me lose my mind that she thinks she has to be cursed to fight the ghosts when she literally just has to use the transient curses and won’t lose half her health and can fight them just fine.

Thank you for passing. 11:50 - Well jumped off! 25:16 - Oh, we see that one of the players died from the curse, leaving the statue.

You got oranges and onions in your eyes in one video.😢

By the way, fun game dev fact: that hallway with Dark Sun Gwyndolin is actually real! It is suuuper long and actually exists in the game world in its totality!

I was watching another play through and they reached the end! Just when you think you know this game well. You learn something new watching somebody else play it.

The lord of the rings has a interesting lore to it aswell scriptures that were never published..of how sauron was a servant to the first dark lord morgoth a type of rebel being.

I would highly recommend listening to the audio books of the Lord of the Rings trilogy read by Andy Serkis (The voice of Gollum). He does all the voices in the books and makes them distinct and recognizable, a really excellent job.

Perfect 💞

I do want to give a small hint to make your life slightly easier. Back where you killed the hydra (near Havel) there is a unique enemy you should kill (it is very near the hydra in the darkroot basin). If you don't do this now, you will have to return to the archives later to retrieve an item (an item drops in the archive but only after you have killed the one unique enemy in darkroot basin). The archives is the area you ended this eisode on. This is what allows you to go into the DLC and fight the 4 DLC bosses. Edit: Also, perhaps do a poll on whether people would watch you play Dark Souls 2. While it is my favorite, it is very polarizing and much of the community heavily dislike DS2.

What a lovely tree is something not oft said of the great hollow

The worst part of this playthrough is when I immediately shotgun through the episode and have to wait for more :(

Four Kings is a really cool first experience. It's effectively a DPS check boss since the only "mechanic" is they keep spawning until the main health bar depletes, but the overall experience is really memorable!
