@ChosenProverb Just as respectfully, if you go up to a hippo with the intention of shooting, that over 300-pound hatred machine is gonna tank it and absolutely slump you
@@Vengeance_I_m Asmon's approach to the game is fairly smooth brained hilariously. In the base game two years ago all he'd do it use two halves for a jump L2. Now in the DLC, he used the fingerprint shield for guard counters. He did both for everything in the content it was made for.
it's funny how they're still using the same ol attack animations. coming from ds2 the head ram attack is exactly the same as the Royal Rat's Authority and the bite attack where the Hippo chomps to its sides seems to be the same one that Sulyvahn's Beasts use in ds3
What are those weapons called btw I been looking to try a duel wield build just started playing beat game once with no armor strat but was insanely hard considering it’s my first souls game
@@catsans8667 yea the second playthrough so far has definitely been much easier considering the amount of time I spent learning every move of every boss from dying LOL it’s like choreography and that made it so much easier definitely looking forward to playing the other souls soon as done with this NG+
Reminder that hippos in real life can outrun humans and are terrrifying.
Can they outrun .50 though
@@ChosenProverbNope
But they can take an entire round and still run at you so that's a stupid thought nonetheless
@@Tauruseliminator Respectfully, nothing on this planet can withstand a full round of .50

Looks like Asmon was wrong, you CAN use the jumping L2 to win a boss fight in the DLC...
Asmon is garbage lmfao 😂😂😂
@@tylerarcand1721 I'm not gonna disagree on that... Bro made his build entirely on just guard counters.
Streamers are usually garbage at games.
@drunkfarmer5106 Guard Counters are good with new deflecting tear. I assume he didn't even try that tear? I personally don't watch Asmon

Part hippo, part porcupine
I hate how this boss will literally almost always focus on you if you fight with a mimic tear.
Craft some blood pots that cause your summon to be more agro. May help.

I hated this boss so fucking much. One of the most putrid fights they’ve ever made
I liked the fight, but I can see why you would hate it.
This fight is better than 90% of ds1
@@wont0repeat446Oh! That was almost a good bait. Gotta be more grounded to pull it off.
@@mariuzillasaurus3719It is not one of their best.
@@rogalcorn734 I mean the boss isnt as cool but he’s more complex than any ds1 boss.
Do bosses in the DLC get stronger every newgame+?
Should be the case though i’m doing the dlc on ng+ and from my current experience, almost every boss can kill me in around 2-4 hits.
Ngl was waiting to see this 1
I am also NG +7, and he seems to have way more health for me for some reason??

Once you get the hang of it, play the others and, possibly, replay this one, you may feel like it's the easiest
