In today's episode, Sakura Bedsor is at last grossly incandescent.


Death Count: 174

This episode also has the most screaming of any episode and also one of my favorite moments in my entire playthrough. I was really excited to put this one up.

The monster tag team death before the firesage fight and the double praise the sun before the centipede made this my favorite episode so far.

I am truly terrified by what I see in the upcoming video. You probably all know what it is and it scares the hell out of me and I don't like looking at them or thinking about them.

I'm pretty sure that spray is actually wearing down the durability of your equipment. Since you just repaired it all and then unequipped the talisman, there's nothing that will be close to breaking, but I think the durability will have dropped a lot.

I missed an update on Monday because I had friends in town.

Here's a video where Sakura Bedsor fights a mean old tree just like in Kirby.

No, I'm pretty sure he missed me with that attack, as will be seen in this video. It's pretty darn effective when it hits.

In my NG+, I talked to NPCs a lot more and Andre calls him "Bumbling Sir Onion" and I liked him even more. I'm going to try to save him this time, but I looked up how and YIKES.

"Simplified" meaning I have no idea what I'm looking at. I don't usually play RPGs, so comparing stats is kind of new territory.

Plus I'm just generally a little stupid.

I think he was being facetious with "simplified", because you're looking at completely the wrong numbers when comparing shields.

In your defense, the fact that Dark Souls makes the wrong numbers so prominent is poor design.

I'm really enjoying this LP so far, but drat that one chest you kept walking past by the stairs that lead down to the clearing full of crystal golems really made my knuckles itch. All the rest of the blind run shenanigans have been hilarious, but for some reason that one chest... I don't even remember what's in there. Anyway keep up the good work and thanks.

Cool, thanks!

Are you talking about the one in the library? If so, I know the one you're talking about and I'm pretty sure I do eventually go back and get it in one of the last episodes of the LP or it happens off-camera

Not sure how I keep missing it, but it probably has something to do with the fact that I'm kind of stupid.

Don't worry about the chest man, it's filled with unremarkable items. If memory serves, it just gives you a whole bunch of those little glittery party stones that you can drop on the ground to either mark a spot or check if a jump will be fatal. It's just the game being nice by giving you a tip about using those things in the crystal caves to find your way. Arrows can work too in a pinch though I guess. :v:

I find those purging stones to have the grimmest piece of lore attached to them. If you check its description, it explains a bit how they work. The gist of it is that the stones are made out of the remains of people and they act like curse sponges: using one doesn't destroy the curse, you just end up giving the curse to the dead guy instead. Sucker.

Here we go, it's Monday. Time for a new one and A BONUS EPISODE AGAIN. It's another one of me trying to beat Ornstein and Smough in NG+.

I don't do it this time either.

On that note, if there's anything I missed or some kind of challenge for me you'd like to see in NG+, let me know and I might make a bonus video of it.

Eric's "poo poo!" probably had to do with his call dropping, but I choose to believe that he just realized that you can't get out of the Painted World. At least you're not borderline underleveled and underequipped as I was when I first entered.

Yeah, I'm in fact a little bit too strong, as I pretty much breeze through this whole area.



Death Count: 210

About 42 minutes in, the call drops. Eric and Ben come back, but they're kinda quiet. I would have fixed it, but it's at the end of the video, so why bother?

I just realized something :siren: SPOILERS FOR THE VIDEO BELOW :siren:

You know how after killing the undead dragon, its rear end is still on the bridge?

Is that a joke about how Priscilla is HALF DRAGON herself?? Because if so that's really funny, From.


ALSO ALSO I might be streaming the first few minutes of Metal Gear 5 tomorrow if you losers aren't playing it and also Eric will probably be with me.

After reading some of her backstory, and recognize the Peculiar Doll belonged to her, I feel ashamed for my words and deeds.

Sorry it took me so long to get to a new episode, everybody. I've had some things come up and I've been lazy. I've been working all night on getting myself ahead on this thing.

The Eye of Death is one of those items that doesn't tangibly do anything but really messes with other people if you do it right. As I understand it, it only has a noticeable effect if it hits somebody who's beaten the game once already. In that case, it fills the area they're in with black phantom enemies that respawn at every bonfire. The only way for them to eliminate those phantoms is to figure out where you used the Eye of Death, where there will be a summon sign that transports them to your world. If they kill you, the phantoms vanish. If you kill them, you probably get another Eye of Death, and that's how you increase your stock if you don't feel like grinding basilisks for them. It also wouldn't surprise me if the condition for making the coffin move is having at least one in your inventory, although it probably is just killing the demon in that room.

Also, since the area down that ladder Eric said was "progress" clearly isn't, it's about a dozen giant skeletons guarding an Ember that you probably won't bother to use. I think it's a pretty good one, but once you get it, you're past most of the areas where you'd need to use the upgrade it gives you.

Yeah, usually if an episode starts with the title screen, it's the first in a session and THANKS. I tend to prefer LPs that are more chatty and I was afraid telling stories about my grandma would be awful.

That room also generally makes ground beef out of any player unlucky enough to step down there.
