Let's Play Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (PC)

#14: Aldia's Keep & Dragon Aerie

With the King's Ring in our possession, we can command the great gates of Vendrick to open before us; though there are several options for us now, passage to Aldia's Keep lies on the critical path, and so onwards we journey.

In the worn down shack just outside the gloomy keep, we find an old friend... Lucatiel. Indeed she has come far, but it seems that the curse is claiming her; her wits are diminished to the point where she barely recognizes us. With her last breath, she gives us her armor and sword, and asks only one thing: to be remembered. In her honor, I will carry her memory: as a great and honorable knight of Mirrah, and a good friend. Rest in Peace, my dear Lucatiel. You will never be forgotten.

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.
