LP: Dark Souls, Episode 27
Added 2021-09-24 14:59:54 +0000 UTCOn this episode, we start out by fighting Sif. It's a brutal and narratively interesting moment that doesn't have an immediate payoff at all, and has to be put somewhere, so I decided to sandwich it on a day where I had the bulk of an episode that wouldn't also be miserable. If violence against against animals in games is upsetting to you (or you just don't want to see it -- Skip to 15:28, or click on this link).
Immediately after that we're joined by Trevor Strunk of No Cartridge to trek across the swamp below Blighttown going into and down a giant tree into the bowls of Lordran to a place where time and space is largely incomprehensible and definitely weird.
Ash Lake is a zone that most Souls players avoid and it's often maligned by the fandom as being unimportant, empty, unfinished, and rushed. But Trevor and I are here to show you how patently untrue that is, as we explore the maximalism of expanse.
