Here you go: Blessed Blue Dew Talisman. You want a spell that's more powerful than the majority of weapons? Fine, Impenetrable Thorns." And to top it all off, they didn't even add a Grave Warden Duelist Spirit Ash. It's like they're trying to spite you, Phil lol.
The stardust talisman is a trap. -30% absorbtion is not worth ~0.15s shorter casting startup unless you're doing RL1 and you're getting oneshot anyway.

I hope you know that I will never get tired of hearing you make the “google blank on your work computer” it will always be funny. It’s like what they say about comedy, “if you say the same joke enough, it becomes funny”
It actually dropped for me on the *first* try, like five minutes into the DLC. When my friend who was playing it with me revealed that wasn't a guaranteed drop, I took it as a sign that I had to use the weapon. It was fun.
I feel a modder might easily make the crystallian chakrams now - just make them backhand blades that can be thrown (like the smith script chakram) and are paired. Voilá, perfectly fits the moves of the boss. Weaponskill would be the special fancy spin they do :D So, Convergence modders, you know what I expect of you...
17:50 Your hands stay vulnerable when jumping, which is why you can get knocked down while jumping. Certain weapons have your hands lower when jumping making you get hit by those attacks. This is what we call - peak game design.
Gonna be honest, never prepared a character for the dlc and went through using my ng+16 (though it doesn't scale past 7) character while at rune level 409. While I had a lot of levels and weapons to use, the dlc kicked my ass. Those blessings were a life saver.

I'm glad you're enjoying what you do again. This thing you do, you do for us, and I for one, am happy to hear it is no longer risking your mental health by feeling like a slog. Keep up the great work. I love your sense of humor and I appreciate your hard work!
The streamer-bus driver analogy was the best ive heard in a while :D was laughing so much especially, since in the last few days i was binge watching a lot of shadow of the erdtree content and their chat was always below the recommended IQ threshold to say the least lol. Great stuff Tulok&Mango
Just found your channel with the NG+7 1000+ boss run, and was waiting for this video, I'm glad i get to see the aftermath of that run only a day after first seeing it.
I would highly recommend going through the backlog of other videos if you like these so much. I spent 1 or 2 weekends just binging them, maybe you'll find where some of the jokes came from.
It makes me genuinely so happy to hear that you're feeling good and loving what you're doing again! You can be certain as well that I'll be right here for next week's exciting continuation! ...also I'm always here and living for the jokes, references, (demolishing the heck out of backseaters,) and double entendres, but that... that last one? Right at the very end? GOLD. Keep up the good work!
I honestly love your content man, it's not necessarily the speed run part, I love the format, the puns, the narration, its just fun to watch and if you decide to make 2, 3 part videos I'll watch them either way
I started at ng+7, but that was because 2 years ago, I didn't think we'd get an DLC. It's rough, but I'm getting through it, alright. So far, I'm diggin' it.
I love the message Elden Ring puts up, it's like, "No matter how good your stats are, your weapons, your spells, your summons: skill is what ultimately matters in the end. As well as enough defense and vigor to not get one shot."
I loved this DLC so much, nothing gave me more joy than to find an obscure little side path or dungeon that suddenly spits me out in a new area or a place I spotted earlier from a cliff. Best fromsoft map since DS1.
I always have a big smile when your vids pop up in my sub box ! This will get me through an hour of my shift thanks Phil your doing the lords work here.
As I've recently finished my own playthrough of the DLC, I can finally watch this and let you know, you missed the Poop Stomper, it was right there. Also your moustache looks nice, I hope you had fun going through the DLC playthrough.
The rant starting at 26:30 had me laughing so hard I couldn't stop my eyes from watering. Your content and the obvious struggling has brought some insane joy and laughs and I thank you for it! I will say, it was a little jarring not hearing a "Fort Haight" joke or reference but it was totally made up by the joke about sending the dancing lion to gatekeepers homes 🤣🤣🤣 thank you so much for this!
I've been waiting until I beat the game before I watch this, but I think this is my favourite of yours. Keep up the good stuff. (Did you know you can arrows the skip phase radhan?)
I played the DLC alongside a friend when it first came out. I was having the absolute time of my life exploring, finding everything I could, learning bosses and the new areas. He was... less happy about it all
Truly love your videos mate! I also want you to know that your efforts for scriptwriting are appreciated greatly! You have a very solid cadence that makes for easy listening and you sees jokes very well!
That Kingdom Hearts moment at 32:10 had jaw drop and then i noticed the Keyblades on the wall. I love KH, like legit, i even made a track dedicated to it in the style of planit B.
u can get the chakrams! they're kinda lame but if u farm the ascetic by the divine lion entrance grace he'll drop em eventually. they're called "cirques" in the elden ring universe apparently.
I've almost completely 100% this dlc on ng+7 file but hit a hard stop at radahn, that guy is just so dang fast that any weapon I use to be fast enough doesn't do enough dmg. Its great to be able to sympathize with a video like this
So glad you’re having fun playing Elden Ring again man. Another great watch as always!! Favourite content creator rn I’ll always have a spare few hours whenever a new vid comes out ❤️❤️
I disovered your channel through youtubes algorithm and I really enjoy your content. The added commentary on your videos are top notch. Keep up the good work. Subscribed.
I picked up the milady and haven't put it down, I love it! The fact that the one-handed R2>R1>R2>R1>etc is an infinite true combo is insane, but besides that its just nice to use a new weapon with a fresh new moveset that I get to learn. I love your content, and I can't wait to see part two!
I am so fucking ready for this, I’ve been waiting to see you do this since they announced the DLC! Thank you for being so dedicated to this game, your content is riddled with little references to all kinds of media and I’m absolutely here for it
I love how all the challenge runs I’ve seen so far call him prequels/clone wars yoda (only 2, but hey, they were both really good challenge run to watch. Surprisingly similar concept, only this one is in NG+ but has a bunch of levels to compensate for it
that very last line at the end threw me of so much i got impaled by a slime and fell into a pit. look up girl going down after getting impaled by slime on your work computer for more information
So coming back. Also MAAAAN Scadutree Avatar is EVERYTHING I wanted from the Elden Beast. The movement the move set, the aggression, being over you and moving around violently. It made up for all the disappointment I had from the Elden Beast.
Pro move, i don't remember if it was your short or someone else's but you can unlock the spirit springs using Margets Shackle on them. I wasn't intently paying attention but i struggled on ethe pist-off sunflower until i learned, just focus the head. His attacks are easy to dodge/run away from and his head is down a lot for the punishment. Get that head. Scratch that. There was 2 min left when typing that and you're getting that head. Yeah, pt 2 please. I also love the longer format personally.
A two parter (or mayhaps even more?) is an absolute delight! Any video is something to look forward to tbh xD Also: "Nah, I ain't ready for that, I'm fucked for that." got me good. Thank you for all the laughs!
I was able to do the whole quest, however I had to look up Jolan's armor set. you find it in a catacomb on the east side of the map. You have to use an elevator a second time and it takes you somewhere secret
I’ve been playing the dlc, the people who say no spirit summons, they need to leave. And I’m not even playing at +7, big props to you! Plus the characters from the dlc are fun
I've been on NG+8 since before the dlc and I kept telling myself the bosses wouldn't hurt that bad. I was wrong. They hurt very bad. Scared to fight the final boss. :D

can't believe bro missed the poop stomper. it was right there.

He also used a controller to beat the game. That's like .. easy mode

The chakram enemy actually can drop that weapon. It's technically a "backhand blade" but it's effectively a chakram.
Wait they can? Didn’t know they could cus you can get that weapon as a pickup in one of the smithing stone places

I've watched so many of your videos that I also called it the Blue Skidoo Tree when I first saw it. I think you've created a hive mind.
I called it the scooby doo tree, but I think I’m on a close enough wavelength. Maybe not the same hive, but definitely one kept by the same beekeeper
I legitimately referred to Sellia as "The Town of Horsery" and my friends thought I was insane.

There is one thing that made me dislike the DLC:
In the base game you can explore to level up, in the DLC you have to explore to level up.
