Ansbach and Freyja have a long overdue visit to church. Our Elden Dogs are tackling the Scaduview region today which covers the Church District and the areas behind the Shadow Keep.

Some subjects need to be buried. Midra pursued the knowledge of the Frenzied Flame, and there was no turning back. The Hornsent attempted to silence the flame and bury the woods where it could never be found. I am a Tarnished who doesn't care about any of that, but you scared my horsey. You must pay with your life.

The Packers vs. the Bears, Stone Cold vs. the Rock, and Brad vs. Sobriety. These are some of the greatest matchups of all time, but none can compare with Bayle vs. Placidusax. Today, the Elden Dogs pack our climbing gear and head for the Jagged Peak. We learn of all the different types of Sax and discuss Godwyn's ability to get in everywhere. Igon is the perfect example of peak anger. Dude crawls...

I'm getting sleep already... To support our show and get exclusive access to over 75 bonus episodes from Elden Dogs and...

If you want to make a weapon into a machine gun, go ahead an...
