Need Humanity: Dark Souls playthrough Episode 5 – Boar, Undead Parish, & Upgrading Weapons

The Need Humanity playthrough series looks to introduce newer players to Dark Souls, help them with general mechanics, find items, and help with bosses. I trudge through Lordran, derp around bonfires, and kills some badies in the process.

In the fifth of this series, me and Rei go on a good ole fashion boar hunt. While this armored boar won’t be providing us any bacon, it’s death is beyond satisfying; nothing weird whatsoever occurs during its defeat. Together, we defeat the mace knight, down the Channeler, and learn life’s lesson of upgrading weapons.

Also featured in this video is a brief talk on the claymore, racing a sword hollow, lowering portcullises, getting the basement key, halberd, Andre (the blacksmith), Siegmeyer of Catarina, guillotine attacks, breaking poise, and getting a +2 Estus Flask.
