First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 1 Undead Asylum

Welcome to my first time trying a souls game. Yes, in 2024. I'm a late bloomer, it's in the channel name. This is the Prepare to Die edition from Steam. I didn't really know much about this genre other than "is hard". I actually thought these were horror games. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they are a blend of action/adventure and rpg. I hope lovers of the series get a vicarious taste of the new experience feeling through me. 0:00 Intro 0:47 Character Creation 4:25 Opening Cutscene 9:45 Learning controls 14:20 Exploring the Asylum 16:30 Asylum Demon 24:07 Run Away! 29:02 Dying Knight 36:20 Asylum Demon 2 40:20 Freedom! 41:35 Unexpected flight 45:07 First Level Up

First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 3 Black Knight and Taurus Demon

Still in Undead Burg. I spend a bit of time still getting used to the game. I learn more about the systems but don't make a ton of progress. Big fight with Black Knight takes me quite a while. I didn't know yet that holding your shield up greatly slows stamina recovery. 0:00 Intro 2:03 Undead Merchant again 9:55 Back to the Burg 14:40 Battle Axe! 15:24 Locked house 19:16 Black Knight 1st attempt 28:20 Black Knight 2nd attempt 36:50 Undead Merchant 41:15 Taurus Demon 45:00 Past the Bull 46:57 Solaire of Astora 49:33 Surprise! 55:08 Under the Bridge 1:02:11 Deadly stair sandwich 1:14:55 Outro

First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 4 Beyond Helkite Bridge

I must be hungry this time because I stumble into a couple undead sandwiches. I also die to a couple of stupid decisions! I explore a good bit of the Undead Parish and juke a giant pig.

First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 5 Undead Parish

After a couple of really stupid (on my part) deaths, we have a pig roast. Then we explore the church, killing both that giant cleric and the magical priest. We parole a prisoner with promise of future reward, and also unlock an elevator connecting to the beginning area. 0:00 Intro 1:55 Undead Parish 4:07 Pun death 8:25 uh..poison bruh 12:50 Pig roast 14:26 Church soldiers 22:12 Andre of Astora 31:12 Siegmeyer 32:46 Sphynx scares me off 36:03 Abundance of caution 44:08 Giant Cleric 46:25 Going down 48:15 Priest wizard 50:19 They Parry?!? 55:41 Prisoner Lautrec 1:00:52 Level Up 1:02:56 Outro

First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 8 Helkite Bridge and New Londo Ruins

Lot's of flailing around in this one. We go back to the bridge and annoy the drake a few times but fail to progress. Then we take the express elevator down to New Londo Ruins were the ghostly residents don't welcome visitors. Much death.

First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 9 Dying to ghosts in New Londo

This is a rough one. I even considered skipping this episode. We attempt to progress past the ghosts in New Londo Ruins and fail enough that we run out of transient curses and can no longer fight them. Then we just try to run by, over and over, and fail enough that I lose my temper a bit. I get pretty disheartened but at the end of the episode I make a little progress in a different direction. Next episode goes much better, but I put this up for completeness. 0:00 Intro 1:25 Ghost fail 1 8:10 Rickert of Venheim 10:31 Ghost fail 2 13:13 Ghost fail 3 16:51 Ghost fail 4 19:28 Ghost fail 5 22:40 Ghost fail 6 25:35 Ghost fail 7 27:57 Ghost fail 8 30:15 Ghost fail 9 32:15 Ghost fail 10 34:15 Ghost fail 11 36:22 Ghost fail 12 38:39 Ghost fail 13 40:28 Mad me, and snoring? 42:05 A secret? 44:45 Blind catacomb rush 48:13 Outro

First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 10 Helkite Bridge and Lower Berg

In contrast to last episodes disaster, we actually make lots a progress this time around. We go back to the drake armed with some internet knowledge and take his tail. We still get killed a bunch though. Then we find our way down below the Undead Burg and meet a very scary boss, the Capra Demon! 0:00 Intro 1:24 Back to the Burg 3:13 Shopping in the Burg 4:27 Drake tail 10:35 Drake attempt 11:45 Weapon tryout 16:31 Drake attempt 2 18:46 Going down 23:20 Griggs of Vinheim 26:40 Ninja ambush! 28:25 Another ambush! 31:30 Aqueduct merchant 36:52 Capra Demon! 40:03 Capra Demon 2 40:45 Outro

Then we find a very strange man selling crystal equipment.

First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 12 Depths and Gaping Dragon

This time around we finish exploration of the depths and conquer the boss down here. The Gaping Dragon is a really cool design but a somewhat uneventful fight. He goes down slowly, but without much actual effort. 0:00 Intro 0:35 Depths Exploration 4:35 Rat Lunch 09:10 Slime Train 15:02 Basilisk Bash 23:00 Overlook Arena 29:53 Gaping Dragon 40:17 Now what? 48:00 Outro

First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 13 Farming Haul Showcase and Darkroot exploration

We kick off this episode with an explanation of some off camera farming I did. Then we make our way back to Andre the Smith and finally kill that evil Sphinx thing that chased us away earlier.

First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 14 Darkroot Garden and Moonlit Butterfly

This time around we head back up the cliff and explore the Darkroot Garden. Many ambushes in this area but some really good loot too. We summon a witch who helps us kill a boss. I can see this Moonlit Butterfly being quite difficult without the witches help. 0:00 Intro 1:00 Valley of Drakes 6:10 Inventory cleaning 8:17 Back to Darkroot Basin 10:29 Darkroot Garden 13:05 Ambush 14:30 Stone Knight 20:24 Tree Snakes 26:06 Witch Beatrice 27:40 Moonlit Butterfly 30:30 Past the bug 32:24 Heading back 37:30 Level Up 40:49 Outro

First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 15 Darkroot, Havel, and Hydra

We cover a lot of ground in this episode. We start out finishing the first section of Darkroot Garden, then we link up with Undead Berg through the watchtower. Inside we fight a dude with a dragon tooth for a weapon. Back down below in the Darkroot Basin we come across a giant hydra! It looks scarier than it actually is and it goes down with little trouble. Then we further explore the forest meeting giant murder cats and a club of gank ghosts that accepts us as a member. We stop short at the giant door as I am a bit intimidated by it. We will get to that next time. 0:00 Intro 1:30 Darkroot Garden cleanup 12:38 Darkroot Basin 14:29 Havel fight 21:56 Golem brawl 23:55 Hydra! 35:25 Explore the lake 40:01 Creepy Forest 43:41 Ghost gank 49:52 Giant cat things 54:55 Mushroom forest 55:45 Forest Covenant 1:03:52 Big ones pack a whallop 1:12:39 Ominous door 1:14:04 Forest Exploration 1:19:36 Back to Andre 1:26:55 Outro

First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 18 Ghost Deja Vu

Flush with newfound power, we head back to the New Londo Ruins to claim vengeance on those ghosts. I suffer deja vu as I get wrecked by spooks over and over again. We do get to see everything down here this time, unfortunately it isn't much. Obviously this area will be important later. 0:00 Intro 1:30 New Londo ruins 6:45 Second attempt 14:16 Third attempt 19:20 Fourth attempt 26:14 Fifth attempt 31:12 Shopping detour 34:49 Sixth attempt 46:10 Creepy Ingward 52:10 Disappointed 55:37 Outro

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 21 Quelaag and Ceaseless Discharge

This time we enter the spider hole and take on Quelaag the flaming spider centaur lady-thing. She is far more scary looking than dangerous though so she goes down pretty easily. Then completely unexpectedly we find the other bell and wake up a giant! Choosing to delve deeper we uncover a secret door with another spider lady as a fire keeper. Then further down we enter hell itself apparently. The demon ruins is pretty intense. Here we find the grotesque Ceaseless Discharge and vanquish it on our second attempt. 0:00 Intro 1:50 Lower Blightown 4:42 Quelaag's Domain 5:54 Quelaag 10:35 The bell 11:50 More down 12:30 Fake wall 14:04 Spider fire keeper 17:57 Demon Ruins 20:05 Archery practice 22:14 I didn't learn the first time 26:10 Ceaseless Discharge 33:40 CD kill 41:17 Outro

Next up is weird stone pupa monsters and giant fire breathing millipedes! Where does that giant door lead? Don't know. 0:00 Intro 0:55 Demon Ruins 2:30 Capra Demon redux 3:25 Taurus Demon party 6:15 Try again 9:07 And again 24:45 Finally! 28:43 Deeper down 30:35 Many Capras 35:50 Stone pupa? 44:45 Big door closed 47:45 Millipede ambush 50:35 Outro

This time we head back to Firelink and meet Frampt. What exactly even....? Very disturbing. Then we travel down to the Valley of Drakes and clear out everything we can reach at this time. Next up, back to Darkroot where we find a new golden golem and defeating it releases a captured spirit called Dusk. No idea what this is about, but cool. Then we take on the Greatwolf Sif and finish him off on the second attempt. 0:00 Intro 2:00 Firelink and Frampt 7:18 Valley of the Drakes 9:10 Drake fight 17:50 That's a big door 23:55 Zombie dragon 29:35 Darkroot Basin 31:33 A new golem 32:40 Dusk of Oolacile 37:37 Greatwolf Sif 41:18 Secret Fire 43:55 Sif take 2 46:53 Outro

This time we stick around in Sen's Fortress and I am totally off my game. Fail, fail, and fail again. No real progress is made so I call it quits before getting too frustrated.

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 26 Finishing Sen's Fortress and Meeting Anor Londo

This time around we come back to Sen’s Fortress with a fresh perspective and finish it out. I did a little farming in between and paid more attention to the equipment I have. The Grass Crest Shield should have been my main all along! At the end we get taken to Anor Londo. This looks like a cool place but we will have to wait till next time to check it out thoroughly. 0:00 Intro 5:00 My new loadout 6:36 Trying poison 8:00 No balls? 9:50 Sketchy crossing 10:45 Archery duel 13:00 The top floor 14:27 Great balls of fire! 17:30 Giant cheese 23:45 Ricard 26:10 Hidden bonfire 28:56 Flame stoneplate ring 32:19 Failed jump 34:00 Knight of Berenike 41:35 Iron Golem 43:50 Anor Londo 47:50 Giant Knights 52:30 Fire Keeper and outro

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 30 Anor Londo

Back in Anor Londo, after being so rudely abused by our appreciation for fine art, we take on the kingdom of the giants.

This time we get serious and defeat Ornstein and Smough. Unfortunately you only get loot for the last one you kill so I miss out on the Dragon Spear because I don't get Ornstein's soul. We meet the princess of the giants Lady Gwynevere. She tasks us to kill her dad. Fratricide by proxy? But he's already dead? We go back and join the spider lady covenant and learn a neat fireball spell. The Onion Knight is at Firelink and is "going below". Frampt likes our Lord Vessel and eats us and takes us on a journey. He tasks us with gathering special Lord Souls to fill the vessel. Two regurgitations later we visit all the black smiths to see what options are available now then wrap up for the episode. 0:00 Intro 4:42 Let's go Solaire! 13:09 Lady Gwynevere 21:00 Quelaag's Domain 22:50 Onion Knight! 24:00 Resurrection 29:30 Frampt eats me 34:40 Blacksmith round up 45:03 Outro

This episode kicks off with me explaining what I've farmed and purchased. Next we go on a tour of all the nifty secrets I bumped into and changes in the world I've found.

This time we finish out the Great Hollow and find yet another area at the bottom. The Ash Lake is pretty small but creepy. It seems both of these areas are only accessible one way, through the double secret wall in Lower Blight Town. We fight another Hydra! And we meet a Great Stone Dragon! 0:00 Intro 3:45 Half way down 6:40 Blue chunk 10:40 This will go well 16:20 Recovery 21:00 Mushrooms 25:22 Ash Lake 28:55 Black Hydra 35:40 Murder Clams 39:14 Annoying tree 46:00 Great Stone Dragon 51:00 Outro

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 35 Catacombs

This time we delve into the dark! The dead rest not beneath Lordran and the Catacombs beckon. There are a few traps and twists to overcome and a whole lot of skeletons, necromancers, and exploding heads. The constantly resurrecting skeletons can be put down for good (at least until you rest) with a divine weapon, or you can kill the necromancer responsible for animating them. This is a cool place. 0:00 Intro 0:57 Graveyard 1:53 Catacombs 3:35 Divine null? 5:08 First Bonfire 6:10 First Necromancer 10:44 Traps! 12:50 Second Necromancer 14:10 Lever 2 15:20 Collapsing grave 19:30 Lever 3 20:23 Skeleton smith 26:33 Skelly Wheels 28:40 Black Knight 29:31 Third Necromancer 36:55 Sphinx 38:35 Coffin nap? 41:30 Not secret secret 43:50 Fourth Necromancer 47:52 Secret wall and outro

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 37 Tomb of Giants, New Londo Ruins - Drained

This time we struggle a bit in Tomb of Giants, ultimately losing all our souls and humanity. Rather than struggle through I turn around and try to tackle New Londo Ruins yet again. Much progress is made this time and the old healer guy gives us a key to the floodgate now that we have the lordvessel. With the waters receded we can delve much deeper and encounter new enemies and the very large ember.

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 38 Four Kings, Duke's Archive

This time we finish out New Londo with a fight with the Four Kings. Finally done with these troublesome ghosts! Then we take another shot at the drake on Hellkite Bridge but he bugs out again and seems impossible. Frustrated, we turn our attention to more important matters and head toward the Dukes Archives above Anor Londo. We make a good bit of progress into the library before I need to call it for the night. 0:00 Intro 2:07 New Londo drained 8:45 A slight rough patch 13:31 Four Kings 24:20 Drake attempt 27:30 No Drake? 30:30 Drake attempt 2 33:20 Anor Londo 35:30 Hall Hog 40:23 The Dukes Archives 42:26 Dead 53:10 Outro

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 39 Duke's Archive

This time we continue through the duke's archive, killing crystal zombies all the way, until we come across Seath the Scaleless. He kills us, in what seems to be a scripted death, because we spawn in a prison within the archives. We break free and must fight through his snake men guards and his twisted Cthulu horrors. Back in the archives we fight our way through an army of crystal skeletons and moving staircases until we finally break outside. 0:00 Intro 0:30 Welcome committee 3:50 the jank must flow 4:55 Crystal knight 5:42 Seath the Scaleless 6:46 Prison 8:40 Easy escape 9:51 Eldritch prison guards 16:12 Ground floor, hardware and horror 18:08 Is fren? 19:38 Music critic 24:16 Big door 26:00 Books and stairs, for days 31:32 Bonfire balcony 38:35 Library storage 43:44 Outro

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 40 Crystal Cave, Lost in the Archive

We exit the library into a courtyard filled with crystal golems. We meet the daughter of the onion knight! We head down into the crystal cave at the end of the courtyard. This is ridiculous!

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 43 Demon Firesage, Centipede Demon, Solaire's End

We travel below the Demon Ruins now that the way is opened. Inside we fight a couple of bosses, with Solaire helping us defeat one of them. We obtain a ring that let's us run on lava and opens up quite a bit more exploration for us. We travel through a truly bizarre area with an army of zombie dragon butts, then we head into an ancient maze of a temple. Along the way we encounter the Onion Knight and help him in his heroics. Sadly, we witness the fall of Solaire as he is taken by some kind of sun parasite and tries to kill us in his madness. I will praise the sun in your stead brother, rest in peace. 0:00 Intro 0:36 Demon Ruins 2:00 Pride goeth... 8:54 Behind the veil 12:33 Demon Firesage 14:25 Beyond the sage 15:34 Shortcut up 18:00 Bonfire 19:00 Solaire, my boy! 19:30 Centipede Demon 23:40 Firewalker 24:30 Sad Solaire and bonfire 28:30 Are those dragon butts? 32:55 Hidden Bonfire 35:00 Out of the fire, into the maze 38:29 WTF? 41:28 Dark Knight Kirk 44:18 Dropping in on the Onion Knight 1:00:40 Sphynx 1:01:40 Fairwell Solaire 1:06:40 Shortcut opened 1:08:18 Outro

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 44 Lost Izalith, Bed of Chaos, Sanctuary Gaurdian

We plunge back through the Lost Izalith and go down a slide to a very strange boss. The Bed of Chaos is not a traditional fight but it does have it's challenges. Ultimately, it's not too difficult as long as you don't get surprised by the sudden falling floor. After claiming the last Lord Soul we head down to Darkroot Basin and find the portal to Oolacile. We are pulled back in time and face the chimeric guardian of this sanctuary. Then we meet a chatty mushroom and some homicidal gardeners. 0:00 Intro 3:44 Lost Izalith 7:20 Bed of Chaos 13:33 Firelink 15:54 Andre 17:22 Darkroot Garden 19:31 Darkroot Basin 21:30 Portal 22:27 Sanctuary Garden 23:35 Sanctuary Guardian 28:40 Mushroom Lady 32:51 Royal Wood 58:15 Creepy vendor 1:01:05 Outro

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 45 Artorias, Oolacile Township

We kick off this episode with a bang. The bang of my armored corpse hitting the riverbed below. But this is Dark Souls, we persevere. We enter a chapel like structure and find the famed Artorias. The great knight is clearly corrupted by some evil taint and trails black sludge and mist. It's a cool fight but we prevail and put him out of his misery. Then we make an abortive attempt at traversing the forest chasm. The dragon down here doesn't appreciate visitors. After a few deaths we decide to go down into the Oolacile township instead. The soundscape here is amazingly creepy. Gibbering, squelching, wailing freakish monstrosities guard the many nooks and alleys as we discover hidden treasures while constantly descending further into this mad place. A timely elevator gives us a nice short cut to a bonfire before we delve further. 0:00 Intro 0:36 That first step is a doozy 2:55 Artorias 7:13 Tower exploration 11:10 Forest chasm 15:00 Dragon 15:30 Artorias' soul 19:12 Retrieval 20:10 Dead again 22:22 Retrieval and Death 23:30 Oolacile township 26:22 Back passage 29:55 Silver pendant 36:20 Pendant testing 42:20 Crest Key 43:50 Elevator 44:25 Outro

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 46 Chasm of the Abyss, Dragon Fails

We continue further in the depths of the Oolacile Township, killing the warped denizens therein. At the bottom of the town, in the dungeons in fact, there is a crack in the wall leading to the Chasm of the Abyss. Lot's of mutants here and an army of souls. The humanity itself given form. We chase the cat lady, friend of Artorias, to an elevator shortcut. Equipped with the pendant we try to take on the Dragon again, thinking it will protect us from his dark breath. Apparently the dark is just color, as it does fire damage still and we die quickly. Ok then, back to the abyss. 0:00 Intro 0:54 New depths 1:29 Smoked 4:50 Amalgam w/ flail 6:30 Elevator surprise 8:20 Chasm of the Abyss 9:40 Make sure they are dead 13:12 Lost souls 13:50 Fake floor 15:16 Elevator shortcut 18:42 Dragon fail 21:16 Dragon fail 2 23:30 Dragon fail 3 25:10 Chasm of the Abyss 29:19 Horde of damned 31:59 Outro

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 47 Black Dragon Kalameet, Saving Sif, Manus Father of the Abyss

A lot happens in this one. We head up the tower and meet Gough, who shoots the black dragon down for us. We head back to the canyon and this time we can take the fight to Kalameet. It's not an easy fight but we prevail. Returning to Gough, he gives us his bow and tells us the story of the corruption plaguing this place. We head down into the Chasm of the Abyss to cut out the source. Along the way we find that the cat was leading us to a hidden Sif! Here in the past he is a normal sized wolf and we must free him from his spirit prison. Delving deeper into the chasm we come to the origin of the taint. Manus the Father of the Abyss must be put down to stop the hateful spread. With the help of a newly freed Sif we bring an end to the corruption and free princess Dusk. She doesn't speak to us, but Elizabeth the mushroom shares her gratitude. 0:00 Intro 0:45 Gough 4:20 360 no scope 7:58 Kalameet 10:35 Kalameet 2nd attempt 16:05 Riddle I can't solve 19:36 Gough's bow 24:56 Chasm of the Abyss 26:08 Fake wall 26:50 Killed by a soul 29:27 Saving Sif 33:18 Going deeper 35:09 Manus, Father of the Abyss 40:20 Dusk rescued 42:48 Gough cares not 44:48 Elizabeth's gratitude 46:00 Outro

My First Time Playing Dark Souls ep 48 Gwyn, Lord of Cinder and the End of Everything

This is it! The end of an incredible adventure. We put the last of the Lord Souls in the great brazier and head for the heart of the rot. Gwyn, architect of the fall of this world, must be replaced. We must fight through his host of knights as we travel through the blasted land where he holds court. It looks like the epicenter of a massive explosion. Gwyn himself is no pushover and I get my undead teeth kicked in a fair handful of times. I'm old-school though, perseverance is an old companion. We prevail in the end and ascend the throne of Gwyn.
