Patreon Release Date: May 10th 2026
In this special presentation, Dylan and Brad discuss the one and only Dark Souls 1. It only took about 7 years of yelling at Brad, but he finally played it. This will be a 2 part series, so don't expect the depth and detail of a usual Elden Dogs episode.
This is a cross-post with our other podcast, Raw Dogs. So check that out for more amazing gaming content!

How did this turn into 7 episodes?! I guess it's just too much fun talking about the various denizens of the Lands Between.
In our final episode of Bestiary (at least until the DLC), we venture to the Haligtree to discuss monstrous musicians and badass rotten knights. We then venture to Farum Azula to talk about Dragons and Beastmen. Finally, we end on the Elden Beast.

The Underground Cities. You fear to go beneath the Lands Between. The Nox pushed their experiments too greedily and delved too deep into parts of the universe better left unknown. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Ainsel... really big ants.
The Bestiary continues Tarnished! In this episode we cover enemies mostly situated in Caria Manor, the Underground Rivers, the cities of the Nox, and the Moonlit Altar.
Watch out for the Basilisks...
