#18: Pilgrims of Dark
You may recall a curious old man in a cushioned wheelchair... this is Darkdiver Grandahl, and he wishes to shepard the seekers of Dark into the Chasms of Old...
Talking to him at all three locations (Black Gulch, Castle Drangleic, Shaded Ruins) will allow one seeker such as ourselves to enter his covenant, and the chasms. The goal is to defeat the dark phantoms within them, light the large basins with a torch, and jump into the foggy chasm at the end of each one. At the end of the third chasm, we will be able to face the Darklurker.

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 Ive 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.

#17: Royal Rats & Executioners Chariot
Before heading off to the DLC areas, I think its time to clean up a few of the optional bosses from the base-game that I have skipped over: the Royal Rat Vanguard / Authority (two different rat bosses, yeah), and the Executioners Chariot.
The two rat bosses are located in the Grave of Saints and the Doors of Pharros; both of these places are covenant zones for the Rat King Covenant, where nasty servants of the Rat King will lure unsuspecting victims into their trap-laden worlds.
The chariot boss is down an alternate pathway in the Huntsmans Copse which I had previously ignored; past this unique fight, we can gain access to the Brotherhood of Blood, aka Bloodbros. Each of these bosses are quite easy for me, as Im rather over-leveled for them.

#01: The Trappings of Curiosity
I am Philip, a renowned physicist who teaches at a university. My mothers funeral was about a year ago, and shortly thereafter I receive a letter from the father I never knew; he spoke of his imminent passing, declaring that by the time I read the letter, he would already be dead. It didnt say much, just left a deposit box in my name; of course I went to check it out.
In it, I found an old book, collection of documents, and discovered that he had been declared legally dead almost three decades ago. Strange. His instructions were to burn them all, but no man is immune to the shameful trappings of curiosity; I discovered that the old book was indecipherable, but I learned of a certain location somewhere in the wastes of Northern Greenland. Without any more details than that, for some reason I decided to journey out there myself to learn more...

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.")

The blizzard outside was so terrible, I had to seek shelter in the nearest possible place... just my luck, Im trapped in an abandoned mine that was seemingly used during the war.
A trip to the Office yields some notes from a british officer circa 1945, as well as some interesting references for creating several types of explosives.
