The third episode of Hermit's Hour of Power. In this episode I make my way to The Great Hollow to obtain some upgrade materials, kill a couple of bosses, acquire the Chaos and Large Flame Ember, upgrade a couple of weapons to +15, ascend a couple of weapons to Chaos, progress a couple of NPC's questlines, and more.
Hermit's Hour of Power is a multi-part series in which I work towards obtaining powerful weapons, collecting useful equipment, farming upgrade materials, slaying bosses, and more. Each episode will be interconnected in some way (such as farming upgrade materials for later use), however, each episode "can" be performed independently from previous or future episodes to an extent.

A single full playthrough of BioShock 2 in which I aimed for the platinum trophy (or 100% achievements), which was livestreamed and recorded back in 2017.

![Dark Souls II: No Deaths, No Bonfire Playthrough [Part 5]
The fifth part of a No Deaths, No Bonfire playthrough recorded in late 2014 on the PS3 Black Armour Edition of Dark Souls II.
This was one of several practice runs, in which I successfully completed the game without a single death or use of a bonfire, while trying to bring the created character to a point that I could consider to be more of a complete build.
The desired end result was to be able to not only to obtain both Illusory rings from a playthrough and complete (or come close to completing) a specific build type, but eventually do so with only a single weapon. Unfortunately I didnt quite get around to starting a proper No Deaths, No Bonfire, Single Weapon playthrough.
