To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Crystal Infusions. The damage is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of vertical physics most of the swings will go over a typical hosts head. There’s also Orbeck's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Seath's scrolls, for instance. The darkwraiths understand this stuff; they have the intelligence leveled high enough to truly appreciate the depths of these invasions, to realise that they’re not just ganks- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Crystal Infusions truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Andre’s existential catchphrase "Prithee be careful,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Gwyndolin's Lordranian epic Fathers and Suns. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Hidetaka Miyazaki's genius hitboxes unfold themselves on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Big Hat Logan tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the scholar ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 intelligence levels of my own (no Scholar's ring allowed sweetie) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid
I don't know why anyone would actually be willing to look for books in the Grand Archive. The place has worse customer service than the Duke's Archive, and they used maneating pigs as greeters there. Heh.
Is it just me or is the murakumo lowkey one of the best weapons in the game? Its a curved greatsword, so it rollcatches like hell, has massive hyper armor for very little poise, looks sick as hell, and seems to get an A-S scaling with nearly every infusion.
As a nerd who frequent library I can confirm that crystal curved greatsword works magic. Except mine has this black stain at the tip and does a slam instead of a cool unparriable twirl. Asian guy, surely this is not a serious condition? Edit: grammar
Dude, I've been following you since the Big Boy video, and I have to say that very few people in youtube keep making jokes and videos as creative as yours in proportion with the time you have been into it. Keep it up my mang.
Just got this new Crystalkumo, its real fun to swing up here in the Grand Archives. But you wanna know what I like more than crystalkumos? *K* *N* *O* *W* *L* *E* *D* *G* *E* Crush a can for Shelly, y'all...
That invasion at 8:25 was similar to Palpatine killing the three Jedi Masters. All three of them had the reaction time of molasses in winter time, just conspicuously leaving their guard open. Strange fellows.
well just in case you invade in catacombs and went pure INT but not enough stats for Toxic or Poison fog then the storyteller WA can help with a poison fog
I have been teetering on the brink of insanity as I have been up til 4am for a straight week working on my final project for my mechanical engineering class. I decide to pull up one youtube video to try and calm myself before i literally curl up in a ball and cry on the floor. Maybe it's cuz I am no longer in a conscious state of mind were I am aware of my actions, but 5:25 'Dewey Decimal representin' somehow broke me- through the fortified wall of stress and anxiety, and had me laughing inexplainably hard for absolutely no reason.
OH I had a 20/20/45INT at sl90, and that kumo did so much damage. In the archives you could 3 hit a lot of phantoms (and with surprise the panic rolls are common). With UDR in the black room you could get a few so easy.
kumo does more damage by about 40 AR sharp infused, but carthus weighs slightly less and has 18 str req instead of 20, freeing you up 2 points which is nice for low levels. The kumo also lacks bleed but the things swing so slowly its not really a factor but it is there, if you like
It’s so close to anime spins and yet infinitely bigger and boy-er and now with 30% more Cryst-aal. Watch today as Saint takes the good old intelligence nerd, beats the shit out of it until it starts getting funky, slaps a ‘Kumo into its hands, and unleashes it to deliver havoc to those trespassers of the library and the occasional monster who refuses to pay those library fines. There’s some slight eroticism with a pool of white stuff ‘cause I mean would it really be a Saint_Riot video without a little bit of that stuff? Probably. But you never know...
So I was reading on the Wiki, and it said soul stream can go through walls or atleast the pillars at archdragon peak. In which case that spell would be great for scaring the hell out of people! More testing is required and my int build isn't at grand archives yet!
Great Sword of Judgement would be a better weapon. Projectiles built in, and a quick self buff for a little more damage. With so much strength and dex that you have for that murakumo, it just makes more sense to use another boss great sword from the Moonlight.
Okay, you showed player stats, but not AR? I'm kind of curious how it stacks up directly with the Moonlight (I've recently burned my Simple gem on the Astora Greatsword, so I can't try this at the moment, but I can level up a different character. I like the moveset quite a bit better.) The thing about the Moonlight vs Murakumo (Incidentally, both Armored Core references. One of the corporations in AC3 was Murakumo Millenium, and the Moonlight right down to the sound effect has been around since the first game) is that the Moonlight has the Blender moveset, which is nice in duels, not to mention the Human Plus waves. The Murakumo is great for invasions, because it cuts a wide swath with great dead angles, and combos into the Spin Slash. The Astora GS is kind of an interesting hybrid, because it has both horizontal sweeps, (Including a spiny rolling attack) and linear Power Pokes.
Hey saint, I'm looking to get into invasions after being with your channel for so long. What kind of build do you think would be good for first time invasions?
As you can see in the video, my friend Riot suffers from... well, God only knows... But you can help! Go to this link and donate to a charity that will help him and his caretakers: streamlabs.com/saintriot#/
Do you assume all password summoned phantoms are overleveled in the "toggleTryHard" equation? Or do you like do crazy math in your head on first glance? Like calculating total weight and equipment requirements and adding those stats up to get to a minimum character level. I get stuff like full havels quickrolling on the high wall at level 15, but other than that, I don't always see specific things that automatically mean they are overleveled.
I've never really been good with things like the murakumo or the exile greatsword. Never been able to really use them to their full potential. I guess their learning curve is too much for me.

Wubba lubba guiding moonlight
Beautiful
"Nothing personnel" yea you're extremely intelligent
A nerdy guy tries to get a book from the library but a bunch of women bully him and cover him in fluids. I think I watched that porno once.
... sauce?
I don't know why anyone would actually be willing to look for books in the Grand Archive. The place has worse customer service than the Duke's Archive, and they used maneating pigs as greeters there.
Heh.
Careful Saint, all those crystalkumo spins starting to look like A N I M E
Saint ur a genius when it comes to making youtube videos. Very I N T E L L I G E N T
Tristan _ yes issss

The nerd library debt collector is going to be the most niche persona of yours
That's not wax son....
Listen saint, impersonating me like that isn't cool man!!! Ok?!?!?! OK?!?!?! JUST BECAUSE I LIKE BOOKS REEEEEEEEEE
Asian guy, teach me how to be cool
edit - oh i need the Crysstal CoolMo
Hey kid, wanna be cool? Here try some crystal meth- err I mean a Crystal Murakumo! Yeah, let's go with that...
"Heavens, she was already dead."
Thats a nice Greirat reference you have there.
Lmfao god you need help Saint
Wax is a standart procedure - Lothric library is very serious about rules
ORBrunner standart
Heavens, she was already dead... *curls up*. Who the fuck is that? *Rehvion enters the fray with a spoon* MAJESTIIIIIC
Bingo bango bongo I don't wanna leave the Congo
kuku kachu I refuse to go
Bingo, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle, I refuse to go
They got things like the atom bomb
So I think I'll stay where I am
Civilizatiooooon, I’ll stay right heeeeeeere

ANIME FREE LOTHRIC ACT 2017 FORBIDS YOU TO USE THE MURAKUMO!
That act is as repealed as the net neutrality act.
You see those warriors from Lothric? They’ve got curved swords. Curved. Swords.
God that intro was so cringey but so Saint so it was perfect
As a nerd who frequent library I can confirm that crystal curved greatsword works magic.
Except mine has this black stain at the tip and does a slam instead of a cool unparriable twirl.
Asian guy, surely this is not a serious condition?
Edit: grammar
love me some waxicality
"See those warriors from Hammerfell? They got curved swords....CURVED...SWORDS.
When definitely Asian guy said "curve" I immediately assumed he was trying to make him gay
Dude, I've been following you since the Big Boy video, and I have to say that very few people in youtube keep making jokes and videos as creative as yours in proportion with the time you have been into it.
Keep it up my mang.
I'm glad other people call the stairs to Twin Princes "Boletaria".
I thought the Crystalkumo was gonna make him cool, but he just turned into Vanilla Ice instead! D:
“Lore walking”
Just got this new Crystalkumo, its real fun to swing up here in the Grand Archives. But you wanna know what I like more than crystalkumos?
*K* *N* *O* *W* *L* *E* *D* *G* *E*
Crush a can for Shelly, y'all...
> "no rolling"
> Rolls
My, my, Saint...
"Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species in 1984..." Now, that's a layered allusion!
Sick Demon's Souls reference, brah.
You sir deserve way more subscribers. Keep up the awesome work! Your videos are so entertaining and beneficial.
I was just thinking about Melee INT builds, thank you for showing me some V I A B I L I T Y Saint
How the hell does he have 99 of each soul type in his inventory???
That invasion at 8:25 was similar to Palpatine killing the three Jedi Masters. All three of them had the reaction time of molasses in winter time, just conspicuously leaving their guard open. Strange fellows.
A minute of silence for all the times shelly died.
okay, i enjoyed this way to much and I don't know how I feel about that.
You know in Harold and Kumar when that cop stops them for jaywalking? I love to say "KUmo" how he says "KUmar"
Good joke, Heavens, she was already dead and curl up 5:00
These kinds of vids are my favorite
Quick question why the storytellers staff?
b cuz
Story telling, like books i guess
For one, it has the most useful invasion WA of the staves
well just in case you invade in catacombs and went pure INT but not enough stats for Toxic or Poison fog then the storyteller WA can help with a poison fog
I'm not playing Dark Souls anymore,but damn,i still enjoy watching your videos.
Cool
Curved

6:46 nearly got me caught in class, worth it
Yay the Murakumo! Thanks Saint!
With an int build like that be prepared for a fallout fan cause of that Nerd Rage!
Gonna do LSD and watch this again
ERRAN never returned his book.
"It's just like one of my japanese animes!"
The crystalkumo makes you crystalkoolo
Every build can benefit from a Murakumo, as long as you use the right infusion. I think I've found the best weapon in the game.
Great video man but poor little Shelly has suffered enough
8/10
Omg i love this videos :D, great work!
The biggest nerd was saint all along
And thus, Confident Beta was born.
Genius build. One might say brain genius.
also 2:33 SEXPOSED
you can always count on saint for the most quality shit post

What is better, Murakumo or carthus curved greatsword? Anyway, excellent content as always!
kumo does more damage by about 40 AR sharp infused, but carthus weighs slightly less and has 18 str req instead of 20, freeing you up 2 points which is nice for low levels.
The kumo also lacks bleed but the things swing so slowly its not really a factor but it is there, if you like
Allan Marques Carthus GS gets more elemental damage
Kumo is also the longest CGS. Cos ya know, length...
I laughed wayyy too hard at the greirat reference
Well if it isn't Shiva the Deceased handing out Crystlal Murakumos
I love this character
The Moonlight has taken him
I'm imagining the therapy seshes...
Yeeeeees....spiiiiiin....accept the anime within your heart!
7:00 Uhh...Shelley was alive there

Only real greatswords have curves.
The amount of spins falls below the limit!! Also people asking for the build in the comments killed me
Great Job man, keep up the good work !
Peace
So I was reading on the Wiki, and it said soul stream can go through walls or atleast the pillars at archdragon peak. In which case that spell would be great for scaring the hell out of people!
More testing is required and my int build isn't at grand archives yet!
MuraCrystal
Sounds oddly like miracle...
_FORESHADOWING_ ???

DIE ON A PILE OF KNOWLEDGE BABY BOY
I love that voice saint, lmao. You sound too innocent for this game
Crystal Murakoolmo
You sound like the screecher, you know the kid who screeched at another guy while the teacher was breaking them up?
Kumo guy wasn't a Skitter cameo/feature. I am disappointed.
Great Sword of Judgement would be a better weapon. Projectiles built in, and a quick self buff for a little more damage.
With so much strength and dex that you have for that murakumo, it just makes more sense to use another boss great sword from the Moonlight.
Such cool.
HEAVENS! SHE WAS ALREADY DEAD!
OH MY!
6:50 Shelly lived!
*C R Y S T A L L E*
Genuininely sounded like the orest hunter weeb in dark souls one.
Okay, you showed player stats, but not AR?

The Astora GS is kind of an interesting hybrid, because it has both horizontal sweeps, (Including a spiny rolling attack) and linear Power Pokes.
Just wondering if you could maybe share this build with us?
Excellent video as usual Saint, loved the goofy voices. :)
THE WAX
I'm pretty sure the Kumo is better on pure DEX than anything else at that SL. citation needed tho
i love you saint.. you make me laugh!!

N-nani?! S-saint chan is uploading another video? I-...In one day?! M-Masaka! That's... impossible! Ah, too much! Ah! Aah~!
This... upload schedule~ It's-...too much! My mind's going blank! Aaahh!~
Hey saint, I'm looking to get into invasions after being with your channel for so long. What kind of build do you think would be good for first time invasions?
Parker Davis look at his P O I S E builds.
Can't go wrong with a sword-and-board quality build. Allows you make a lot more mistakes without getting instantly destroyed.
Heaven's she was already dead.
You might as well just use a Dark Marakumo. What even is the point of a Crystal Marakumo if you're not actually running a mage
As you can see in the video, my friend Riot suffers from... well, God only knows... But you can help! Go to this link and donate to a charity that will help him and his caretakers:

I get stuff like full havels quickrolling on the high wall at level 15, but other than that, I don't always see specific things that automatically mean they are overleveled.
Errrrm, blue icon means overleveled not password summoned, but obviously you have to be password summoned to be an overleveled phantom.
Ah ok, my mistake, thanks for clearing that up.
It's not wax. Clean yourself off and file for harassment.
I've never really been good with things like the murakumo or the exile greatsword. Never been able to really use them to their full potential.
I guess their learning curve is too much for me.
great video

Hey do a meta level poise build with the lothric knight spear and 40 vit you could get 60 poise
