A couple of years ago Demon's Souls got a ton of hype for being incredibly difficult. Could its spiritual successor, Dark Souls, actually be harder? I called Reiner down to the recording room to show off a section slightly later in the game that may be one of the most deviously designed levels in any game ever.

Watch the 30-minute video below to see a full run-through of the Sen's Fortress level, including its many death traps, its larger-than-life boss, and a few fun secrets we discover along the way. Stay tuned for my official Dark Souls review next week.

Want to watch more Reiner and Phil videos? We have a whole hub of content for you to check out. Get to it!

This is great

This looks so cool yet I'm not sold on it yet. Was Demon Souls really that good?

How many souls must be lost?

Not a masochist so I won't be playing this. But I do like watching other people punish themselves so it's all good :)
by Steve Monday, September 26, 2011 at 01:42 PM

Fantastic!
Oh! I saw that trap tile right before you stepped on it at the end I was like NOOO PHIL!

Look's pretty good... I'm intrigued.
by Dede Monday, September 26, 2011 at 01:54 PM

I really want to watch this but I don't want to spoil the level for me.
by invalid Monday, September 26, 2011 at 01:56 PM

aren't games supposed to be fun! I feel sorry for those that play or buy this!

Let's see how much they can put up with. I still don't know how they can say this is less annoying than Catherine about it's difficulty when it has so many f*** you moments, but then again, it doesn't have corpse rolling. I did enjoy the first one to a point, but it was just ridiculous.

How much time would you play this game to give it a review?
by CLock6919 Monday, September 26, 2011 at 02:13 PM

Can't wait until you do Ratchet and Clank All 4 one and Batman Arkham city next month.
by Chris Monday, September 26, 2011 at 02:13 PM

Lmfao @ ending. Reiner was more worried then Phil and the way he proclaimed NOOO was funny.
by LotusBud Monday, September 26, 2011 at 02:14 PM

This game looks great. I think 360 Controllers are going to start flying off the selves because of this game.
by Zerosion Monday, September 26, 2011 at 02:19 PM

by wayoverdue Monday, September 26, 2011 at 02:21 PM

Can't wait for the game
by UltimateManlyMan Monday, September 26, 2011 at 02:24 PM

OH WOW!! That was quite the ending,I feel for you Phil. And I fear for my sanity from playing this game in 8 days. BUT I CANT WAIT!!!
by Syz 9000 Monday, September 26, 2011 at 02:24 PM

I love these vids usually but I'm going to pass on this. This is one of those games I put myself on a media blackout so I have the pleasure of discovering everything on my own
by PoopsMcgoops Monday, September 26, 2011 at 02:25 PM

My love for Demon Souls is great. Even if it did make me put a hole in my wall I still love it.
by EthanPOW Monday, September 26, 2011 at 02:28 PM

I too am impressed by your lack of cursing while playing.
by eyros2k Monday, September 26, 2011 at 02:30 PM

Hahahaha, I'm not gonna lie - I was laughing out loud pretty hard when that second snake-head/neck enemy/guy went off the edge.

Fast forward to the end... "I could lose them right - awww...."
