An undead favorite.
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross conclude their discussion of King's Field IV: The Ancient City.
We hope you've enjoyed the ride. Next week is Dark Souls II!
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about the Ocean Ford and Widda Castle portions of King's Field IV: The Ancient City.
What do you do Widda snake man who's got a sword? Go into its home an gut it. No mercy, no quarter. This is definitely the climax of the game, and the part where the Souls connection is most apparent. We're going up through the Egg Field.
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about the Forest Folk and Earth Folk areas of King's Field IV: The Ancient City.
When will they get to the Ancient City? Why, in this very episode. By this point we're acclimated to the controls and pace of the game, and we get into the strange realms of the Forest and Earth Folk... and end on a high note of killing a Fire Demon.
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about the first stretch of King's Field IV: The Ancient City.
Continuing our Origins Suite, we now turn our attention to King's Field, which is the other big fantasy series that From Software is known for. We opted for King's Field IV because it's a standalone story, and also because it's the most accessible. Take a listen to hear more, as we talk about everything up through the first encounter with some Guardians.
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about the first two arcs of the Berserk manga.
Why the hell are we talking about manga on a Dark Souls podcast? All you have to do is open a Berserk volume to any random page to see that From Software drew a LOT of inspiration from this decades-long (and still running!) series.
In this episode, we cover generalities, along with the first two major arcs of the series-- "The Black Swordsman" and "The Golden Age" (Volumes 1 - 14).
