Let's Play Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (PC)
#12: Shrine of Amana
Ahh, the most hated area of the entire game, or at least it used to be... Shrine of Amana is filled with lots of water to trudge through whilst being pelted by magic spells from mages afar.
I found this area to be easier than it used to be, actually, but it's not too difficult either way; a bow and some poison arrows will go a long way towards making your life easier here, especially in the second area.

ABOUT THIS SERIES:
This is a casual playthrough where I recreate my favorite old DEX/INT build. The pacing is a bit faster than my usual style; this is not a comprehensive walkthrough, and I will be skipping some items/enemies/sections. I will kill all bosses. I have not played DkS2 since before the release of the third game earlier this year, and in recent months I've been very engrossed in DkS1; this is my revisitation of DkS2, to once and for all gain a proper perspective on all three games in the series.

ABOUT THE GAME:
The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
Prepare to experience your new obsession it claims on the box. Yes, but also confusion and frustration. Daggerfall is a first-person dungeon-crawler, second installment of the Elder Scrolls series, and it pioneered some of the elements that would become standard in later titles. It was a highly-ambitious project, and it did some interesting things that were never seen again within the series.
Played using the DaggerfallSetup.exe found on the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages:

#04: Explosives Required Ahead
The Northern area of the mine can be accessed with the key I got from the room that was just occupied by the mysterious noises. Theres a workshop and some explosives handy, which is just my luck, since the path further into the mine is blocked by a cave-in. Not so lucky for me, though, that blasted dog followed me to the area.

ABOUT THE GAME:
Penumbra: Overture (2007), by Frictional Games, is the first chapter of a survival horror series that preceded the more well-known game Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It features much of the same elements - a dynamic physics engine, gameplay that emphasizes puzzle-solving, and instilling psychological horror based on an inability to fight back against the games monsters.
The story begins when our character, Philip, receives a mysterious letter from the father he never knew shortly after his mothers funeral. A series of clues leads Philip to an isolated part of Northern Greenland, where he begins searching for answers.
If fate frowns, we all perish. #04: Explosives Required Ahead — [Penumbra: Overture]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BQ1quLnFcnY/mqdefault.jpg)

#08: Dragonslayer & Dear Freja
Partizan +10 in hand, now its time to steamroll the rest of the Old Ones... but first there is an optional boss that we missed: Old Dragonslayer. He drops the Old Leo Ring, a perfect compliment to my thrusting weapon, so I decide to fetch that before continuing on and finishing up Tseldora with the giant spidder.

#02: Goblins Under Godsreach
Fedris Hler, steward to Almalexia, has asked me to help him in regards to a secret goblin army that is apparently being trained under Godsreach by order of King Helseth. On the way through Godsreach, I meet a couple of characters whom I use my discretion whether or not to help.
The sewers under Godsreach are extensive and confusing, but following the goblin presence eventually leads me to discover their two warchiefs. Too bad I was unable to successfully locate the Altmer trainers; Fedris was kind of an ass about it.

ABOUT THE GAME:
Pokémon: Trading Card Game (JP:1998 NA:2000) is a digitized version of the crazy popular collection/battle phenomenon of the late 90s. This adaptation creates a familiar game-world where the trainer must battle their way to collecting 8 medals and rising to defeat the Grand Masters... collect em all, battle the best, and become the Grand Champion. The game also takes advantage of the Gameboy link-cables to allow friends to duel one another as well as trade cards, generate new cards, and swap deck configurations. #23: Challenge Cup Round 2 — [Pokémon TCG]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EEMeoY8R6a8/mqdefault.jpg)
