Rewatch: Tell us how to play Dark Souls

Episode 8: Sen's Lobby

"Wait till you get till Blighttown!", "Oh man, Blighttown sucks so much", "I quit during Blighttown".

It's safe to say, based on conversations with Dark Souls players, I was appropriately weary of heading into Bligttown. In fact, if you watch Tell us how to play Dark Souls Episode 7: Beware the Blight back, you'll hear a very long, very audible sigh when viewers suggested I head to Blighty.

I may be tempting fate yet again, but the expectation proved to be much scarier than the place itself. Yes, those poison dart archers were a massive pain in the ass, but I managed to advance through one of Dark Souls' most infamous areas relatively trouble free.

Of course, I owe a great deal of my success in Blighttown to the stream viewers, who guided me through with expert advice and even jumped into my game to help me defeat Chaos Witch Quelaag.

Tonight I'll be continuing my first journey through the world of Dark Souls and, as always, streaming it for your viewing pleasure.

In addition to watching, you can bestow your expert knowledge on me, and steer me in the right (or wrong) direction. Tune in from 6pm BST / 1pm ET here or on our Twitch page (follow us to be notified when we go online).

See you at 6!

    Today's stream has just finished. Tamoor is thinking about moving the stream to Thursday evenings.

    Was too tired to participate in the chat today, cool stream though. Hopefully will be able to get through Sen's Fortress next week :)

    Thanks for watching me fail to make it through Sen's lobby everyone. Good times.

    I am considering moving to Thursdays, but we'll see how it goes for now. I'm also looking into getting a streaming setup in my man cave, if anyone has any cheap and cheerful hardware recommendations to enable this please let me know. I'll keep you updated on progress :)

    Also, put any homework you want completed here. Will work on getting souls and beefing up weapons.

    You'll want to have enough souls to level up to at least level 45

    I enjoyed today's steam immensely. It's the first time I've participated and I'm already looking forward to next week's stream. It's been real good chuckle. Your IT guy has been my personal highlight tonight :lol:

    There is no shame in getting clobbered repeatedly at Sen's Fortress. You're never going to make any major progress in a couple of hours but I think we did a good job tonight. Made our way out of Blighttown and had a few stabs at Sen's Fortress. I think you're just starting to get the hang of the Dark Souls malarkey :mrgreen:


    I highly recommend this little feature to anyone that enjoys a good bit of banter and getting off on other people's misery. Great fun.

    More of this kinda thing please Mr. CVG.
