Tower of Latria 3-1 After that debacle, I imagine we have a better idea of how to share footage from now on. Either way, it's time to jump into Tower of Latria and pick up some wrinkly fans.

We fight the tower's first boss and encounter a couple surprise black phantoms.

The Fool's Idol fight is really memorable to me because of the music. It's quiet and unnerving at the same time and I can't really recall any song like it in the Dark Souls Trilogy

Oh, hey, it's Wayne! Hi, Wayne! I legitimately did not know invaders could attack enemies in Demon's Souls. Of course, I only ever got invaded like... once.

The fake Fool's Idols should vanish if you hit them once. I usually clear them out with spells before going after the real one with melee, just so I can get in as many hits as possible without worrying about being shot from another angle.

Small update for you folks still waiting on this thread and who haven't seen it yet: Travis has told me that, due to a myriad of things in his life, he won't be able to do LPs for the foreseeable future. He's often been too busy to record for a while now, but he recently came to the conclusion that he'll have to make his exit official. As such I got the go-ahead from him to upload the last of our previous session, minus his missing footage. Because I don't like to abandon LPs, I will also find another person to co-op the rest of game with me. Thanks to everyone who was patient with this thread. Once I find another partner, hopefully we can have consistent updates again. Part 11 will go up on Friday.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear we lost half of the Dynamic Duo. I am glad you're not abandoning the LP though. This is a fun one to watch.

Tower of Latria 3-2 As I mentioned, this is Travis' last part with us. He still had one more chunk of footage to send, but since he dropped out and I was still waiting on it, I went ahead and stuck with my own footage. I'll be looking for a new co-op partner. Both Skippy Granola and YamiNoSenshi from my Harvest Moon multithread have expressed interest.

I don't suppose Jacob has Demon's Souls? I feel like he'd be fun to do a co-op LP with. This whole section of the Tower of Latria is bullshit, by the way. Edit: There is also Highwang... of course that goofball would be wearing the Xanthous Crown or whatever it is. KeiraWalker fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Feb 3, 2017 |

So when I played through Latria 2 for the first time, I had almost gotten to the heart; I'd gone through the blood swamp and climbed back up, and then I fell down. But I missed the ground. I slipped through the level geometry and was just falling infinitely. My brother-in-law was smart enough to think of quitting and reloading when I was about to warp out of that situation. Reloaded back to the top and was able to continue on, fortunately. Anyway if you haven't gotten anyone else locked in, I'd be down to play the game with you, if the connection holds okay and you wouldn't mind only being able to record on weekends due to time zones probably.

I pulled YamiNoSenshi in to it, so I'm good there for now. That said, he and I are going to be playing through 2-2 right now, so if anyone wants to try to invade us, now's a good chance.

Valley of Defilement 5-1 Pulling YamiNoSenshi over from farming to go sewer diving.

Valley of Defilement put me off to actually progressing in Demon's Souls for a few days. I eventually just put that whole area on the backburner until I'd done most everything else. It really is the worst part of the game.

Shrine of Storms 4-2 An area that's big on souls, low on fun. Dummied-out Archstone of Giants area

Stonefang Tunnel 2-2 A decently tough area with one of the hardest bosses... who decides not to be hard for us.

Stonefang Tunnel 2-3 Perhaps the game's signature boss, and a real dopey one at that.

What is the benefit of dual-wielding in Demon's Souls? I seem to remember seeing at one point most of the top PvP people in that game apparently dual-wielded bonesmashers? I find it hard to believe it's that useful considering what little good it did in Dark Souls.
|
# ? Mar 18, 2017 19:08 |

I think the only game in which it's actually worth dual wielding is Dark Souls 2, provided you can powerstance the weapons. Otherwise the extra attack doesn't nearly make up for the increased stamina consumption. There are some edge cases where theoretically it would be useful to pair a big, heavy weapon with a lighter, faster weapon in the off-hand, or something of that nature. There are a couple weapons (such as the Uchigatana) that have altered attack patterns in the off hand, so those can also be used as a secondary with something else. There can also be benefits to having a weapon with a status buff of some kind equipped in your off hand, like the Enchanted Falchion for instance will regenerate your magic bar regardless of which hand you're holding it in.

I sometimes use the Large Sword of Searching in my off-hand - the parry animation for curved swords looks particularly silly when the sword is as big as you are. It's also easy enough to two-hand the right-hand weapon and let the left-hand weapon's passive buff do its job.

Times Thorn has died almost immediately and left me to fight a buffed boss myself, and then I somehow muddle through: 2.

Boletaria Castle 1-2 One of those levels that's harder than the boss at the end of it. Usually.

To be fair, that dragon will gently caress your poo poo up no matter how overleveled you are.

Valley of Defilement 5-2 Maybe it's not that hard of a level, but it will certainly make you groan your larynx out.

This is a literal slog. On the subject of Patches, I find it highly amusing that despite being such a huge dick at the outset, he's one of the best merchants in both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, if you let him live. He's more of a twat in Bloodborne (and also a spider) and not a particularly useful merchant in DS3, but it's still worth befriending him for story purposes. I genuinely like the guy despite his murderous proclivities. I think this might have come up when you saw Patches in Shrine of Storms, but there's been a lot of DeS/DkS LPs and they're all kind of blurring together in my mind a little bit now.

I'm really tempted, but I couldn't get it to work in the last two Demon's Souls LPs I followed, so I can't imagine it'll work for this one.
