We're Playing Dark Souls Too! - Part 02

I believe he just lost the chance to get the special weapon/spell/souls her boss soul would give. As long as the primal bonfire itself is lit he's not locked out of game progression.

Wait, did I hear that correctly? 20 hours in and hasn't beaten the pursuer? What?

Man, that Brad scream was incredible.

Oh Brad...

Yup, if you light a bonfire but don't rest and then die before you reach anothee bonfire you will respawn at the one you lit.

HOLY SHIT, REALLY?!

The end of this video is just perfect.

Brad's scream at the end was classic. He was doing really well despite not figuring out the trick to when she burrows.

horse

So... is Vinny fucked now that he didn't get the Freja's soul? Cuz that would suuuuuuuuuck

Dat scream

I need to find some of this shit that Brad and Vinny have lol...I have gotten to places it looks like they have not (Iron Keep, fuck those archers) and still don't have that sick armor, helmet or sword that I could really use. Also I hope there is a cool mace coming up, because I really want one with some better range and stats. I guess that speaks to how open this game is.

And yeah co-op these bosses are a joke for the most part. Solo they just require patience usually. I got summoned to fight the Skeleton Kings/Lords whatever they are called...god what a joke of a boss. That Jabba the Hut/Rancore/Slug boss is also pretty easy if you stay on your game. I never got swallowed, but his waddles were pretty wild at times.

Great ending!

Awesome! I hope these keep coming. Also impressed with Brad's ability to fight that scorpion lady. I was having a really hard time with her myself.

1) He has only two points in PER, right?

2) With no idea what ring the messages could be talking about, why not look at what rings are already owned?

3) It's easy to see what people got stuck at the up-down barrel in Sonic 3.

4) Did none of you guys do the "carry light-source to open up an illuisonary door" business in Dark Souls?

No there are ones without the pharros contraptions that you have to attack. Just not that many. There is one in nomans wharf that you have to attack. One at the begging of the game as well. There are a few others, but again, just not that many.

Vinny has the exact same armor I had, except I used the Gyrm Greatshield. Thank God I played DS2 the right way; the way of the Dark Lord; the Vinny way.

wow, 7 freakin lockstones...

Brad bites back for Vinny's trolling in demon souls! He ought to say he did it to Vinny on purpose...

I don't think so? The Pharros secrets you need to attack. The other illusionary walls you just need to press A or X.

Also, that's called insanity. Remember?

I'm kind of disappointed that the Covetous Demon didn't actually swallow Vinny's armor.

WHAT A DUMB ENEMY YOU ARE!

@lordofultima: There is a fundamental difference between getting hit by an enemy and losing some life and getting stuck in an unbreakable animation that leads to your death. It shouldn't obliterate my entire lifebar.

He could have raised his shield and taken 0 damage, or stepped slightly to the side and the arrows would have all missed. He actually did the worst thing possible by turning his back to it. Like the other guy said, there are no forced deaths in this game.

I wish there was a way to transfer my save to the PC version when that comes out...I just beat the 360 version and got most of the achievements, but I'd love the prettier version because there's some great art in here.

That yell at the end makes me really want the PC version to come out already.

We are playing Dark Souls 2 the sequal too Part 2

Not sure why my post didn't go through. Anyways...

He could've rolled out of the way. That's what I do. Also I wanna say ADP affects how often you trigger traps.

Sidenote it drives me nuts that both Vinny and Brad leave their inventory cluttered like that. Why not just dump things off you don't need?

What could he have done about the chest then? He hit it once. If the solution was the use the blood signs, then that's pretty weak. There are plenty of "nothing you can do about it" deaths in the game. It's still a fun game to play, you just have to accept that you will get frustrated with it sometimes.

Still, I enjoy this feature and the only thing it makes me want to do is play Dark Souls II.

@hestilllives19: Now that makes sense. Brilliant. Thank you.

Dark Souls II: His butt does attack you

@humanity: You could have done something about that though. You attack each chest with an attack. The lifebar then shows up if it's a mimic. Then you back the hell up and hit it at a range or stick and move. Like every enemy in the game.

That depends on what your definition of "nothing I can do about it" really is. There are several enemies that will lock you into animations that you can't escape and very often result in death unless you have a ton of health - like for instance the Mimic Chests. Just yesterday I opened a mimic chest with full health, and it simply chomped me to death. There was quite literally nothing I could do about what was happening and I'm level 95.

I could have hit the chest with my sword to test it beforehand, but if the only option to avoid inescapable animation death is to simply never get hit, then that is not enough. A binary margin of error of is not "margin" at all.

"this looks like shit". Brad doesn't happen to post on /v/ does he?

I think the reason why Vinny took so much damage when he slid down that silk was because when on that edge it counts as him falling. So because he's at such an acute angle, he's not sliding very far, but there may be a fall counter that's ticking down which equates to health lost.

AKA it's like he was falling straight down as he was gradually going down the slope.

there is a distinct choke time

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The ending was great.

dat ending.

There are still doors that you have to attack. I can think of five off the top of my head. Its the fact he tired all three methods and it didn't work. Then proceed to keep trying like it would just magically work 3 minutes later after the 40th attempt. What kind of logic is that?

Wauw.. Brad does really suck at games...

That end had me rolling. Greed kills, greed kills.

@delam: No, but the coffin in Things Betwixt does do a gender swap. You can just get in and gender swap as often as you want I think.

oh man I wish I couldve seen vinny's face when that boss ate his gear

Bosses, no matter how large, still give you souls automatically. A few bosses don't give souls.

I like watching Brad play Souls games...and I also don't like it. I both enjoy it and cringe...I don't know why. Watching him fight the lionmen was kind of hilarious.

You need the ring of whipsers to talk to the scorpion guy. You can also hear all the half en half beasts in the area. "I think these guys will aggro." No Brad...they won't.

Was Vinny's character a female before being eaten because it is afterward? Some have found there may be a gender switch after being eaten. Which seems awesome.
