Bonfireside Chat 1: Basics, Asylum, and Firelink

Welcome to Lordran. There's some stuff you should know.

This is it, the first episode of a podcast dedicated entirely to Dark Souls, and other Souls games. We encourage you to play along, and this will be a great starting point for Dark Souls veterans and newcomers along. We discuss the history of the game, the basic tennets of survival, and take you on a tour through the Undead Asylum and Firelink Shrine.

The next episode will be all about the Undead Burg, up through the Hellkite Drake. Praise the Sun!
