    [PREVIEW] Bonfireside Chat 320: Ancient Ruins of Rauh

    This week we go tour the many parking garages of the Ancient Ruins of Rauh, a beautiful area that we wish had more narrative and gameplay interest.

    [PREVIEW] Bonfireside Chat 315: Recluse's River

    This week we find the very hidden entrance to a very hidden path to a very hidden area. Shadow Keep hides a way to reach the Recluse’s River, which is the warpath that the hornsent inquisition took to bring great force to bear on Midra in the Abyssal Woods. Along the way we will complete our final two mini-dungeons and descend further than ought to be possible, as we approach the coolest area in the game.

Is he trustworthy? Who knows!? Let’s go blow whistles for him.

    [PREVIEW] Bonfireside Chat 312: Church District

    You’d never guess it, but there’s still more Shadow Keep left to explore. Approaching from the Bonny Village side gets you into the flooded Church District, an area that calls New Londo to mind. But what lies beneath the water is stranger and more mysterious than the Darkwraiths.
