rynlingWith the help of a walkthrough, Tulip has made it through Blighttown. Good job, Tulip!
Blighttown is a vertically-oriented shantytown clinging to the lower reaches of the castle's outer walls. It's like people decided to live on the construction scaffolding instead of tearing it down, but maybe this wasn't the best idea. Everything is rickety and unstable, and the game managed to give me a genuine moment of vertigo the first time a plank bridge shifted under Tulip's feet.
Blighttown is also filled with giant mosquitos for some reason. It turns out this reason is that it's perched over a poisonous swamp. Hidetaka Miyazaki is famous for loving poisonous swamps, and I was disappointed that the swamps Tulip previously encountered had no poison. I am disappointed no more, and I hate it!
Anyway, the theme of the poisonous swamp is "spiders." According to the walkthrough, this evening I will have to fight a giant spider in her spiderweb lair. I'm one of those weird people who think spiders are kind of cute, so I'm looking forward to it.
