About

Greetings! I'm illusory wall and I make videos about Dark Souls (and sometimes other retro games). Active in the community since the release of Dark Souls 1, I've often been first-in-line to help test and discover how various mechanics work in the Souls series. I'd previously make edits to the wikis or post my findings in forums, but more recently I've been making video essays and explorations of my findings. I put an emphasis on talking about things that haven't been covered before, or doing the deepest dives I can. Hope you enjoy! Second channel for drumming stuff and playlists of livestreams is located over here: https://www.youtube.com/@illusoryplays

Video Description

Another Dark Souls Dissected, my longest video yet! This one is intended as a follow-up to my Lordran's Layout video, but focusing this time on out of bounds content. Special thanks to TKGP, JesterPatches, Meowmaritus, Kahmul, Lokey, and everyone who helped provide more examples or information that I wasn't previously familiar with! And also HotPocketRemix for the multiplayer summons! Tools used: Dark Souls debug, Dark Souls Map Studio, Dark Souls Map Explorer, and the noclip website. 0:00 - Intro 0:48 - The Duke's Archives Floating Door 6:00 - Undead Burg Hidden Doorway 7:28 - Doomed Basilisks of the Great Hollow 11:03 - Cutscene Content 19:22 - Enemy Perspectives 24:31 - Odds and Ends 32:48 - How Out of Bounds Content Hints at Earlier Designs 46:55 - Lordran's Layout Revisited 52:17 - Nito's Third Coffin & Pinwheel Lore 56:04 - Closing Comments
