The answer is yes, mainly because I find Creighton the axe man and a ninja named Bashful Ray to assist! After clearing them and crossing a long, rickety rope bridge (which I managed to fall off once due to carelessness), we slew a tough red guard at which point Ray used his ninja skills to vanish. There's also a strange old guy in a wheel chair down here but he's not very helpful so I just leave him there and warp back to the poison assassin forest to see if I can now explore a higher area where the staff and whip mummies were previously kicking my ass. Proof that "the last giant" was also inappropriately named. Before leaving that pit, Lucatiel advises that there are other hidden paths below which I go looking for, encountering and slaying three club wielding giants in the process. Because that's what I do.īeyond him is a strange altar which warps me to a new zone but giant locked doors prevent me from advancing further. At the top, we battle FIVE belfry gargoyles! Glencour is thrown off the roof early, but I still manage a victory (barely) and ring the tower bell. Masterless Glencour assists once more in slaying them and the invader Vorgul the Sinner. Using a lockstone I also open a bridge to a new tower, one guarded by cute little knights. The Eagle Knight attacks me once more in a dark storage room but this time I defeat him convincingly. With the cathedral also a dead end, I revisit the Lost Bastille and as usual, find an area and bonfire I totally missed. Again since this is a PvP thing, I say no. Targay, the leader of the Blue Sentinels watched our fight and says we are worthy of joining his order. Ornstein!? He is nowhere near as tough as last time though and with Glencour tanking it is a very easy victory. I am then joined by Masterless Glencour, perhaps the only "good" white knight, to enter the nearby cathedral where we face. ![]() Once I get under it, this one has no chance. Good thing it is nowhere near as strong as the one from Undead Berg. Since I quite like the cape I decide it will be my new "scout armor", relegating my Havel suit for heavy combat areas. I also found a full set of Drake keeper armor, the same type worn by the guys guarding the ugly siren. This made the place much more survivable. After a number of failed forays I decide to counter snipe with my lightning short bow (it was in my pack, actually a lot of things are given you can't sell anything). There are also a lot of spell casters that enjoy sniping and halberd guards who pack a punch. There are lizard men who lurk under the water but at times are put to sleep by the song of friendly sirens (who stop singing when you get close to them). It's basically a large underground lake with some shallow parts you can walk through and many sudden drops which instantly kill you. While the castle climb was pretty straight forward, the Shrine of Amana is around ten times more annoying. Tales from Dark Souls - spoilers ahead! You can follow the rest of the story here! For now I'll leave you with Chewbacca's rendition of Silent Night. How will I actually find the time to do all of this? No idea, maybe Santa can gift me extra hours every day? We'll just have to wait and see. ![]() Since this is turning more into a Ney Year's Resolution thing I suppose I'll add I'd like to lose 20kg too. Regardless I doubt that will be ready anytime next year, especially since I want to return to doing Flash stuff too, which is a pretty big ask. ![]() My not yet titled " Game 13" plans seem to hold promise but we'll see when I actually get around to play testing. Speaking of things on the back burner, my quest of making a board game also has been bubbling along slowly. It should come as no surprise the the Skyrim tales will also continue, though I will be endeavoring to be more concise with its format moving forward. Yep, the story is actually mostly written out now - I just need the art components to go with it. it's been taking a back seat since screenshots are so much faster to generate than hand drawn images. Still, I hope you are enjoying my Dark Souls adventure story which will no doubt flow on into the New Year.Īlso the Nameless story will hopefully revive (and conclude) in 2017. Thank you to everyone who has been reading this blog, I know it's been heavy on story-mode as of late and that's mainly due to my hectic work schedule. The house is all decorated and the gifts are under the tree, the relatives are on their way for a day of wondrous glee! Definitely looking forward to the organized chaos that happens each year, and from a small breather from work.
