The second crown, and the second DLC area, lies beyond the Old Iron King's primal bonfire. This place is a very interesting dungeon, and my personal favorite area of the game; it's layout is mostly vertical, and has many secrets and rooms to explore, as well as an interesting mechanism that unlocks the dungeons true potential...

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.

#10: The Biologists Office
Hidden behind a freshly bricked wall, I find a strange office belonging to some scientist. There are plenty of notes documenting the nature of his research, and a farewell message from some poor soul whose life was recently claimed. Red was here as well, indicated by his newest radio contact.
As the plot thickens, more questions begin to surface: what else was going on down here? Clearly there was more than just a mining operation and some worm research; what of this strange artefact that we have heard of several times?

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.")

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.

#15: Dragon Shrine
Aldias Keep seemed to serve as a gateway to this place: an opulent castle perched precariously at the pinnacle of the Aerie. Howling winds and drakes abound, and the faithful knights of the Dragon covenant standing guard, ever-watchful.
The route to the top of the shrine seems as though to be a test, to ensure that only the worthy shall pass; by defeating their greatest warriors, we prove ourselves worthy of an audience with the mysterious and powerful Ancient Dragon.

#16: En Memoriam Gigantis
The Ancient Dragon has bestowed upon us the Ashen Mist Heart, yet another key item that will allow us to proceed. This mysterious object allows us to enter the memories of the fallen... its not quite clear at first, but upon some insight and recollection, we may be able to deduce that with this item we can traverse inside the Trees of Giants. These withered old trunks hold some key facets of Drangleics past, and offer us the ability to fight during the great war against the Giants.
There are three trees in total, each with variations of events, a myriad of items, the end of Benharts questline, and a big ole boss: The Giant Lord.

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.")
