Six-Year-Old & Father Play Dark Souls 2 — Part 11 (Darklurker)

At long last, it's time for our last boss in Dark Souls 2: Darklurker!


For those that aren't in the know, Darklurker is the boss that requires you to complete three optional areas of the game: the Chasms of the Abyss. Within each, you would need to defeat all of the enemies, most of which are phantoms, i.e. use models and attacks like the player, making them akin to simplistic PvP invasions. Then, one needs to use a flame butterfly 
(since there are no torches, being the Abyss and all) in order to light the bowl-shaped vessel. Doing this for all three unlocks a hidden boss fight. However, the vessel only remains lit if you complete the area without dying, which was news to me. As such, she and I do have to backtrack a bit, unfortunately.

Fortunately, though, Darklurker is ridiculously weak to lightning. I suppose that this makes sense, since light is the opposite of dark, and this is as close as we get to an actual light-based attack. Still, if we had used Great Lightning Spear from the beginning, or even Sunlight Spear, then this guy would have been even more of a joke. That said, while its health and lightning defense are comparatively puny, its damage output is no laughing matter, with it almost killing us in one hit from our human state. Brief though it was, I strongly encourage you to stick around to watch the fight itself.


As a reminder, she and I have not leveled our Vigor (HP) a single time throughout the entire playthrough.

To watch my sweet daughter and me play Dark Souls 2 from the beginning, along with our Dark Souls 1 playthrough, both two-player-one-controller, then please check out our playlist:
