What is "Santier's Spear" from Dark Souls 2?
Despite multiple Youtube videos about it, this game cannot be played by you or me because it's not really a game at all.
What is "Petscop"?
This boss is killed by his own son, with no input from the player.

In the original US release of this game, missing a Sketch command had catastrophic consequences: crashing the game, overwriting your inventory, or even corrupting your save data.
