I had a huge, wide swinging sword that would take multiple out at a time. The great club is super brittle though. And I thought crossbows could break them, though I haven't played for awhile and might be wrong.

If you have the faith for it, aiming Emit Force with the binoculars is pretty great for taking out the statues at a distance.

A little late to the party, but fall damage is actually a fixed amount based on falling distance and equip load in this game, not a percentage of your max HP. For example, you need 1343 HP to survive the drop into the pit without any modifiers and completely naked. The silvercat ring reduces the damage by 600. You'll still die if you fall far enough to take 1600 damage unmodified, no matter how much HP you have, though. Interestingly enough, falling distance includes your horizontal distance. You'll take more damage with a running jump rather than just falling straight down.

This is probably the thing that makes fall damage seem so completely unpredictable and is definitely why sliding is so frequently much more fatal than it seems like it should be.

Those [insert minor spoilers for the next video here] complicate the "just run" strategy somewhat. EDIT: Ack! Sorry. I was assuming from the discussion that we were further into the gulch. moller fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Nov 29, 2016 |

I'm pretty impressed by the way you handled Victor, I remember that fucker taking a lot longer to kill. Anyway, Green Gulch doesn't really get rude until you happen to die in it... Or try looking for that door by trial and error.

I always cheesed those guys from the chest room. I have heard that physical exercise helps keeping the brain in shape as well. Maybe Goonther should ask Lucatiel out for a walk?

Darth Wheelchair is just a character I don't get. He's kinda trying to be like the Serpent Geop missed in the first Dark Souls LP, except nothing he says has anything to do with anything.

Yeah, taking them head on with melee was intense to watch. I usually save all my urns and throwing knives just for dealing with these two giants. If you bring summons down there, the giants will not only have more hp, there will also be +1 giant for every summon you have.

As a note, that was the last bit of stuff we've recorded. Scheduling stuff has kinda hit both LPs, so we're temporarily out of backlog  I'll also be gutting my desktop (which does all the encoding), so there'll be a potentially lengthy break before the next update.

Ehh, Kaathe was mainly an opposing force who questioned Gwyn and the need for flame. IMO, dark was more of a means to an end for him. Satanic Santa here is more of a connoisseur who reveres and studies Dark. It's a shame about Goonther's mental faculties that he can't really learn more at the moment, since we have actually met another ur-goon who likes to sit around in fancy chairs in dark caves, who would actually be glad to tell more about Dark, if Goonther would just understand.

Honestly the worms are really easy--if you get up to the side of the wall, they can't even hit you unless you step in front of their 'go back in and lunge out' attack.

A little funny that you guys told Geop to homeward bone out of the dark zone. Couldn't he have just fallen back down to the giant cave and taken the elevator back up, again? A pity to waste such a nicely cleared-out area.

There was one specific thing he could've done before leaving that would've saved him some time for whenever he comes back. Not a big deal in the end!

IIRC there's another specific thing they want to happen that will be more relevant now. The pyromancy you get from the Royal Rat Vanguard's soul is really good against those giants (and many other things in the game, it's worthwhile on any PvE build that can spare even one attunement slot).

Note how every place you find him requires you to fall down somewhere, and he is in a wheelchair. That's some quality Dark Souls storytelling right there.

Just finished watching episode 43, and holy poo poo, Geop finally equipped the Drangleic shield (seemingly by accident after messing around with the greatshield) and got that sweet 100% physical block after... how many episodes has it been since we got that thing?

Wow thanks for the concise explanation, always suspected it but never read it so clearly. By the way, I'm a bit ahead of Geop now, doing DLC stuff that I've found by chance and I only have one thing to say: use the goddamn great club and upgrade it to +10, you'll be literally swinging a loving tree.
