I'm saving the Elden Ring episodes until I finish at least one playthrough, but I couldn't resist mentioning, I genuinely thought Volcano Manor was a joke name (a la "look, it's a hilarious lava level" lololol). Imagine how much I laughed when this title card popped up on my screen

2023-05-24 12:54:37 +0000 UTCI’m super late to this episode, but I had to say how much I loved the season 6 Community reference. It fits Dialos well. I always do the Volcano Manor quests bc I love the Taker’s Cameo. It makes every weapon the Blasphemous Blade.

2023-04-26 17:37:11 +0000 UTCI always feel the From Software games have more in common with the Wild 70s Fantasy books (both Martin and Miyazaki have cited influences from that era of fantasy) than post-generification era.

2023-03-08 13:39:04 +0000 UTCMy second run through I was able to sequence break from the Abductor Virgins area into Volcano Manor by jumping to a cliff side and running into it far enough that I got past the fall instadeath part of the lava when you eventually fall off.

2023-03-07 18:11:32 +0000 UTCVolcano Manor was the point where I really learnt to pay attention to the environmental storytelling of this game. I love the atmosphere of the manor itself, the deep red hues and the warmly sinister cello theme. It's unlike any of the rest of the game. Also the whole Rykard thing has to be the best and most messed up part of the game. Tanith being so Rykard-pilled after you kill him that she literally starts to eat him is something else!

2023-03-06 20:25:29 +0000 UTCI do at least think that giving him a sweet lie to believe on his death bed is the correct thing to do. -GB

2023-03-06 15:09:21 +0000 UTCThe serpentbone katana and scale set you get from the first volcano manor mission carried me through so much of the game! That set looks so cool and the special poison the sword inflicts is really good against a lot of enimes.
