The neat thing about the Sword of Light is, you can just use it to buff and then swap to something that does big time holy damage, like multi-layered Rings of Light. So really, as long as you meet the minimum requirements, you can just use the Sword of Light as a buff for your heavy hitting holy weapons and incants and then sheathe it away. Since it's a body buff, it will apply to any holy damage you deal, not just with the sword itself.
@@mandz- Last Rites works a bit differently. It adds a flat amount of holy damage and increases all damage dealt by 10%. Light just increases whatever holy damage you deal by 20%. Light also is a body buff rather than an Aura buff, which means it won't overwrite Golden Vow.
that definitely lends further credence to the theory that gaius was upgraded to a remembrance boss very late in the dlc's development after jori got downgraded from a remembrance boss to a normal catacomb miniboss.
@@twistedgwazi5727Hadnt heard that but it would make sense. In terms of relevance to the story or even any other wider lore, Gaius is a giant nobody. Gravity warrior guy, big whoop.

Hey Bushy. In the Putrecence Knight fight, when you tried to use the AoW to jump the attack, the reason why you took damage is because when you jump, your leg hitbox is hit, but your legs get I frames. But with the AoW, no part of your body gets I Frames. Thats why sometimes, your legs get clipped when jumping but you take no damage
Not sure if you'll see this comment, but one thing that's really cool about Radahns Greatsword (the Promised Consort One) is that you gain SUPER hyper armor while you're doing it. This allows you to use it with Melania's Greatrune and literally become immortal against most bosses, as you can power your way through most attacks and heal from all the constant light hits counting as Colossal weapon hits, healing any damage you take back to full pretty much instantly. I know that's not really conducive of a 'challenge run', but might be fun to consider I'd think! "Can I beat the DLC only pressing L2?"
@@Spamtonbestseller1997 It shoullld? Promised Consort works a LOT better though, the 'light dash' is a bit lack luster comparatively, but should still function off the light beam hits.
its not very practical if he still gets smacked himself lmao, it doesnt do enough damage to make it realistic as a main attack unless you stack some serious damage negation
@@kingsmorely3697 Mainly depends on the boss you’re fighting, if you have scadutree level and you’re fighting a boss that has slow attacks and long windows, it’s solid. Not amazing, but solid.
I mean you can hit 4000 with most aow quite easily in the dlc. Meteoric aow only really shines against npc boss otherwise its too slow to recover from. Deffinately shines more in pvp
Yeah, I laughed at that myself as well. Though, tbf it's main draw is it's ability for a colossal weapon to instantly gap close, and the fact you don't HAVE to finish the L2, you can just poke the guy with the gap close then roll away out of it. It makes the weapon incredibly versatile and is one of my favorite weapons in the DLC because of it, but using it against Rellanna of all bosses didn't really give him the idea of figuring any of that out and he just colossal weaponed her to death XD.
@@fishnutz5196 I barely use this thing for pvp, bullying enemies as I walk through the dlc poking everything in sight? Yea. Its better than people think once you understand the hitboxes, timing, and when its better to follow-up with a r1 or r2 instead of a second press of l2.
I love Bushy's content but sometimes I'm confused what makes a weapon "bad" in his eyes. Sword of Light was shredding Gaius on some L2s but he was laughing at it. I know there are more broken things but sometimes something seems perfectly good and he is unimpressed
i know it's not a legendary, but my favorite dlc weapon by far is the death knight's longhaft axe. the aow starts with a gap close (blink bolt), and the follow-up (the actual hit) is a jump with absurd hyper armor, so not only can you dodge certain attacks with it, it almost always connects regardless of what the enemy is doing. it does physical and lightning damage and scales off strength and faith. you can hit the soft cap for strength while two-handing, so you might as well put on the two-handed sword talisman. i can't be the only one who's noticed most of the dlc bosses are in water, but even if a different damage type would be better, like fire or holy, you're all set stat investment wise, because the fireknight's greatsword and the sunflower hammer (idk what it's actual name is lol, but i love it for its furnace-golem-bonking potential) pair very nicely with this. it does good poise damage for the weight, it has great reach, the standard melee attacks come out faster than it seems like they should, and you can free aim blink bolt and use it like bloodhound's step to save your bacon if you've found yourself about to get nuked by an aoe at phase transition (which seems to be almost every phase transition in the dlc lol). for our dex friends, there's the twin axes, which i do like. the aow starts with blinkbolt like the longhaft and has a follow up, which has you spinning like a drill. I've found that on small, mobile enemies, it will miss quite a few of the hits, making the damage inconsistent, whereas with the longhaft, enemies that are usually very annoying (like the spinny bois with the cirques) are trivialized by the hang-time in the air and the tracking. it's on big enemies, though, that the twin axes really shine. the follow up on the aow counts as multi-hit, making it possible to stack the damage through the roof. to test how high it could go, i went back to base game (i'm replaying the dlc in ng+ and had rushed radahn and mohg) and went to placi. after using golden vow, howl of shabriri, and casting florissax's gavel lightning debuff on him, with shard of alexander, lightning scorpion charm, rotten winged sword, millicen'ts prosthesis, the death knight set (which buffs all dragon cult spells and skills), and the lightning and thorny tears in the physick, i one cycled him. easily. bear in mind, though, i had respec'd glass cannon with 80 fth and 80 dex total after milli's, so make of that what you will. and did i mention all of this goes really well with the knight's lightning spear, which is unequivocally the best spell in the dlc? well, now i did. you're welcome.
Agreed. It also reminds me of an anime or other game OST I can't quite place. Every single time I hear it my brain goes "Dammit this reminds me of something" but I can't figure out what it is.
You used to be able to get both the Prosthesis and Rotten Winged Sword in one playthrough. It was patched. I did it on my first playthrough by pure accident (I didn't know landing on NPCs hurt them, and I found that fact out in the most depressing way). I didn't even know she gave the Prosthesis. I ended up not using it. Even on later playthroughs I never kill Millicent for it. It's Millicent.
@@bilalahmed-bu7bi But that means someone else killed Millicent for it, and I can never forgive them for that. Or they cheated it in, which is entirely possible and something even I can do.
@@EtherwinterOr someone else gave it to them. You don’t need cheats to dupe items when cloud saves exist. Trading/duping is how I got a bunch of the rarer items that would normally require multiple play throughs or a stupid amount of farming for RNG drops.
Malenia's great rune works very well with Radahn's swords because each laser from the AOWs count as a colossal hit and with the recent buff this great rune got so the heal is pretty nuts
I wish all the challenge runners (Bushy, Star0chris, Lilaggy) would mutually agree to just mod in the Scadutree fragments every time so they don't waste time collecting them lmao
you’d have to exclude any locked behind bosses, which is all the hippo ones, the gaius ones, enir ilim ones, and jagged peak ones. Additionally, some fragments are located beyond the great rune shatter checks, which heavily affects some challenge runs based on NPC behaviors. A lot of the fragments have to be more strategically collected than one would think in some challenge runs, so it’d be detrimental to simply mod it so that they all get the fragments immediately
@@eduardonavarro4172 not really. Base game you have to go get all your items and smithing stones and flask items. They mod all those in for these runs and only have to get their weapon and fragments....
I love that in souls games, weapons that were forged by the gods from the blood of demons always deals less damage than a straight sword you could buy at your local walmart.
Can't really speak to the others, but sword Lance is actually pretty decent, pierce is a good damage type and it gets S scaling when you infuse it with heavy
idk why I'm just noticing this now, but if Radahn wasn't the hardest boss in the game he'd be the biggest meme. The man is in his half brother, has a femboy strapped to his shoulder, T-poses on you regularly, and nukes you when he starts losing.
Slightly off-topic point, but the first weapon being Sword of Light made me curious, am I the only person who unironically likes the Stone-Sheathed Sword in its base state? I mean, it's the only Straight Sword in the game that deals Strike damage. I realize its damage is kinda sub-par, but it's not unusable or anything, and I think it's neat.
I beat like 90% of the DLC with Marikas Hammer and its AoW trivialises most enemies and mausoleum fights SO much since it knockes them in the air, so you can just stunlock them in the AoW with each hit dealing around 4.4k damage :D
Putresence Cleaver my favorite weapon from the DLC, granted I'm just a greataxe enjoyer in general but I also just love how it looks. Reminds me of Falz Hunar's sword from PSO2.
I LOVE Spear of the Impaler. Is it a good weapon? Eh, it's niche at best. But the throwing spear move can hit enemies from a pretty fair distance, and the spinny-swirly-slashy-stabby-speary AoW is too fun to not use.
Change my mind, I feel like Bushy is exactly how Tony Stark would act while playing a dark souls game. Being extremely analytical and precise wanting to learn their exact attack patterns while maintaining a casual and relaxed demeanor. Even saying shit like ‘Whoopsie’ occasionally reminds me of him lol
1:22 Dude wtf, I threw pots into this guy multiple times because I figured that was how you got into the Ruins of Unte, but it never did anything so I figured it just wasn’t possible to get in there 😤
@@bugstrung Yeah, tried it again and made that realization. Which is really stupid, considering for the other golems fire pots work just fine to kill them. So that must be what I had originally tried for this one too.
Truely think they messed up not making the Radahn swords faith scaling. The basic attacks have split magic damage from the Int but the AoW does holy damage. Which means you can buff it with sword of light and holy tear but doing all that on a str/int build is super odd. If they had faith scaling that aow would do way more damage
The problem with Messmer's spear is in exchange for the throwing heavy attacks, you deal no poise damage and poor damage for a heavy attack while also taking massive amounts of stamina. I'd much rather just have normal heavy attacks
It feels strangely good seiing Bushy struggle with the same attacks I do. Seeing how he isn't this roll god but needs to actually learn the moveset like the rest of us and since the DLC is out for a month it is still kinda hard.
Funny to see that Euporia's Weapon Buff does not get activated when fighting Radahn. I mean it makes sense, given the fact you kill him in the main game and the promised consort one is just a spirit of his younger self. Still, the detail of From Software is, again, immaculate.
Goated video, I didn't bother with many of the rememberence weapons and Legendary weapons in my playthrough so this video is really informative I did use the sword lance and really enjoyed it not so much it's aow but it's reg moveset it's nice that it's smithing so I could change the aow, I completely ignored the light and dark swords because holy is just bad for main game rememberence bosses but since in the dlc quite a few are weak to holy I'll probably do a playthrough on my ngp2 character and get the other sword to power stance them and see how good it is
You can get into the Ruins of Unte without waking the Furnace Golem by doing some parkour in the back and somehow having torrent stand and platform on very small edges up the wall
Its a staple on my faith build. Anything that deals holy gets a huge bump from it. If you want something stupid overpowered try out sacred infused blacksteel twinblades or greathammer with sacred blade and sword of light buff 😂
Since you brought up the Swords of Light & Darkness, and because the wording both in game and on the wiki are just obtuse and seem to confuse the hell out of people, I decided to do some testing in game a little while ago. I used the Coded Sword because it does raw holy damage, and using a simple R1 I went with a normal hit, a hit with the buff, a hit with the debuff, and then a hit again with both buff and debuff active. The buff and debuff both, individually, increase the damage done to an enemy by a flat 20%. This seems to be regardless of any resistances on the enemies part which is irregular compared to most buff/debuff skills in the game. The combined buff and debuff, give a 43% increase in damage, likely resulting in some combination of the increases and then factoring in rounding and the spaghetti coding the game is built on in the first place. Incidentally, in terms of practicality the Sword of Light buff applying to the character rather than a debuff you need to apply to an enemy makes the SoL the superior single choice to use for fairly obvious reasons.
You should try to beat it but the remembrance boss has every side boss of it's area. Ex: Godrick would have Margit, The evergeol bosses, and every other boss in Limgrave because ganking is fun :)
this is sick, i love the content bushy. as always very very entertaining. i think it would be a cool idea to play a challenge run with only "unable to wield" weapons, just to see how u do
30:08 in reality you can get the 2 of the talisman if after she give you the winged you kill Milicent, but you just don't own the "cosa dorada" to take off the frenezy flame
Did you know that if you run the same direction as the laser beam rotating attack (anti-clockwise) and then go between the hitbox of the laser and the middle part, you can just stand there and wait?
lmaoo during the putresence fight someone in the chat SWORE that frostbite works against him and bushy changed the attunement to try it😂 you can see us all making jokes about it in the third attempt
Legendary armaments are amazing they aren’t bad at all typically there are just outlier examples such as the Meteoric Ore Greatsword which can fuck shit up
@@TrueNamelessOne In most runs I've seen, the Lion cycles from lightening to air if you fought it as one of the first bosses of the DLC. Bushy fought this guy quite late in this run, maybe it's the game's way of making this boss somewhat harder if you fight it later?
Sad we didn't get to see more of the Messmer's Assault skill. I've been using it a lot, and the full combo can 1 or 2 shot each phase of the Scadutree avatar. Also it's just cool and anime as fuck.
Love the video the sword of darkness is my favorite legendary armament if you haven't done all of the legendary sorceress and incantations I would love to see that in the future keep up the good videos bushy
I’d say the fact that you can’t use pretty most of the coolest ashes of war against the dlc bosses without getting punished for them means From has taken their aggression a bit too far. The dlc was good, and obviously the boss fights are doable, but it seems like they kind of forgot it’s the PLAYERS who are supposed to be having fun, not the bosses.
My broken toothpick that somehow scaled better than god's hammer of god does more damage and can actually punish fast enough Slow weapons had a bad time against bosses ngl
Yeah it’s why I don’t find the late ER bosses and most all of the SotE bosses all that interesting. You basically just watch these long attack chains, poke em in the butt once and then back to watching again. It’s all the aggression of a Sekiro boss with almost none of the tools to take control of a fight.
The neat thing about the Sword of Light is, you can just use it to buff and then swap to something that does big time holy damage, like multi-layered Rings of Light.
So really, as long as you meet the minimum requirements, you can just use the Sword of Light as a buff for your heavy hitting holy weapons and incants and then sheathe it away. Since it's a body buff, it will apply to any holy damage you deal, not just with the sword itself.
Its literally like a pocket Flame Grant Me Strength but for Holy. I always keep it on my faith build

1:22 Dude wtf, I threw pots into this guy multiple times because I figured that was how you got into the Ruins of Unte, but it never did anything so I figured it just wasn’t possible to get in there 😤
needs to be furnace pots
@@bugstrung Yeah, tried it again and made that realization. Which is really stupid, considering for the other golems fire pots work just fine to kill them. So that must be what I had originally tried for this one too.
I jumped in with torrent, completely forgot you could wake them up until my friend asked how I got in there
@@madmansprinkles I tired that too, but couldn’t figure out a way to wriggle him in there.
Can't wait for the mod that reworks the dlc to not need scadutree fragments so these runs don't have to start with a 2 hour scavenger hunt every time.
Bushy: Makes video on the legendary weapons, to showcase their cool skills
Also Bushy: basically never uses any of the cool skills
best part of being subscribed to bushy is that when he uploads you know that he uploaded
Truely think they messed up not making the Radahn swords faith scaling. The basic attacks have split magic damage from the Int but the AoW does holy damage. Which means you can buff it with sword of light and holy tear but doing all that on a str/int build is super odd. If they had faith scaling that aow would do way more damage
"Really good boss design"
"This boss sucks"
The duality of man
Rennala's going to start charging double after this
The problem with Messmer's spear is in exchange for the throwing heavy attacks, you deal no poise damage and poor damage for a heavy attack while also taking massive amounts of stamina. I'd much rather just have normal heavy attacks
It feels strangely good seiing Bushy struggle with the same attacks I do. Seeing how he isn't this roll god but needs to actually learn the moveset like the rest of us and since the DLC is out for a month it is still kinda hard.
Funny to see that Euporia's Weapon Buff does not get activated when fighting Radahn. I mean it makes sense, given the fact you kill him in the main game and the promised consort one is just a spirit of his younger self. Still, the detail of From Software is, again, immaculate.
Goated video, I didn't bother with many of the rememberence weapons and Legendary weapons in my playthrough so this video is really informative I did use the sword lance and really enjoyed it not so much it's aow but it's reg moveset it's nice that it's smithing so I could change the aow, I completely ignored the light and dark swords because holy is just bad for main game rememberence bosses but since in the dlc quite a few are weak to holy I'll probably do a playthrough on my ngp2 character and get the other sword to power stance them and see how good it is
Fun Fact: Sword of darkness ash of war is slower but can deal 3000+ damage without major buffs at +10
The bits half way in fucking KILL me 😂
Bushy is doing a runback of all his challenges in the dlc and it is still entertaining.
Going from watching Gino to watching Bushy is like watching Tom Brady to Mac Jones
different strokes for everyone, never found Gino as entertaining as Bushy or Aggy
Explain in NBA terms please
@@Maminator10 when the Nets went from Harden, KD, and Kyrie to Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, and Joe Harris
Gino is awesome. Watching his streams made me learn the bosses a lot faster than I would on my own
@@vedantsatapathy7376 I think Gino is a better player and better to learn form, but Bushy/Aggy is more entertaining.
You can get into the Ruins of Unte without waking the Furnace Golem by doing some parkour in the back and somehow having torrent stand and platform on very small edges up the wall
the radahn greatsword(light) is INCREDIBLY underpowerd especially considering that the Lord variant is fantastic and not only on NPCs
Sword of light is pretty good tho, i use the aow for the holy damge buff then whip out marikas hammer for huge damage lol
Marikas hammer in pvp is hilarious the delay on it looks goofy as hell 😂
Its a staple on my faith build. Anything that deals holy gets a huge bump from it. If you want something stupid overpowered try out sacred infused blacksteel twinblades or greathammer with sacred blade and sword of light buff 😂
Since you brought up the Swords of Light & Darkness, and because the wording both in game and on the wiki are just obtuse and seem to confuse the hell out of people, I decided to do some testing in game a little while ago. I used the Coded Sword because it does raw holy damage, and using a simple R1 I went with a normal hit, a hit with the buff, a hit with the debuff, and then a hit again with both buff and debuff active. The buff and debuff both, individually, increase the damage done to an enemy by a flat 20%. This seems to be regardless of any resistances on the enemies part which is irregular compared to most buff/debuff skills in the game. The combined buff and debuff, give a 43% increase in damage, likely resulting in some combination of the increases and then factoring in rounding and the spaghetti coding the game is built on in the first place.
Incidentally, in terms of practicality the Sword of Light buff applying to the character rather than a debuff you need to apply to an enemy makes the SoL the superior single choice to use for fairly obvious reasons.
This guy can't stop releasing peak and I'm here for it
BABE NEW BUSHY CHALLENGE RUN DROPPED
Scooby snacks is by far the best thing ive ever heard them be called
You should try to beat it but the remembrance boss has every side boss of it's area. Ex: Godrick would have Margit, The evergeol bosses, and every other boss in Limgrave because ganking is fun :)
this is sick, i love the content bushy. as always very very entertaining. i think it would be a cool idea to play a challenge run with only "unable to wield" weapons, just to see how u do
30:08 in reality you can get the 2 of the talisman if after she give you the winged you kill Milicent, but you just don't own the "cosa dorada" to take off the frenezy flame
56:40 it works for bosses to it does an insane amount of poise damage and with buffs you can hit for over 20 or 30k with the full combo
Did you know that if you run the same direction as the laser beam rotating attack (anti-clockwise) and then go between the hitbox of the laser and the middle part, you can just stand there and wait?
lmaoo during the putresence fight someone in the chat SWORE that frostbite works against him and bushy changed the attunement to try it😂 you can see us all making jokes about it in the third attempt
For me the only way to use the Sword of Light was to use the Buff of the L2 for a damage Buff on the Hammer from the black Knights
Lords great sword is one of my favs now after playing and seeing it.
3:20 bro turned a legendary sword into a funky disco light 10/10
I feel kinda bad I cheesed the Putrescent Knight by just spamming +10 sacred relic sword AoW on him. Melted him in like 5 casts.
I need to try that on my next run 😂
Legendary armaments are amazing they aren’t bad at all typically there are just outlier examples such as the Meteoric Ore Greatsword which can fuck shit up
Hell yeah, brother!
Radahn after the kill - "ONE HP AND A DREAM"
Man I am surprised and stoked to see the rot poleblade is kind of good.
Great video as always, Bushy!
Bushy Videos became my Go tos to Loop on third Monitor when working from Home.
TFW did the whole radahn fight without the actual buffs for Euporia proccing. Thank god they buffed it literally yesterday.
I am enjoying how Midra is basically a reference to the King in Yellow.
man at least showcase the ash of wars a little bit. We want to see the ash of wars full potential on optimized builds.
The backstab loop put joy in my heart
You should try all 165 bosses randomizer at level 1! It would be a really fun video idea! Love your content!
The hardest boss in the dlc is still the shitty camera angles. Literally had to do dancing lion without lock on because the camera is so bad.
Salvation! The Bushy content is returned!
54:05
Bushy: Honestly quite underwhelming, but it looks cool.
Pretty much applicable to everything bought off TV shopping channels LOL
54:53
That’s strange, I thought the lion cycles to air after lightening
I honestly thought it was random.
@@TrueNamelessOne In most runs I've seen, the Lion cycles from lightening to air if you fought it as one of the first bosses of the DLC. Bushy fought this guy quite late in this run, maybe it's the game's way of making this boss somewhat harder if you fight it later?
"Why am I fat?"
-Bushy, 2024
Babe wake up, bushy made a new banger
Great vid as always bushy! Though with Jori, felt kinda pointless if you were gonna keep him in a backstab loop anyway
man i wanna watch these vids so badly, but i refuse to until i beat the dlc myself, what a dillemma
1:09 my mom heard what you said and said we can't be friends anymore... sorry.
Sad we didn't get to see more of the Messmer's Assault skill. I've been using it a lot, and the full combo can 1 or 2 shot each phase of the Scadutree avatar. Also it's just cool and anime as fuck.
Bushy: *exists*
Rennala: Aaaaaaah~
Idk why everyone struggles to dodge Metyr's laser: just stay close to the ring and it never hits you, don't even need to dodge anything
Ok just so everyone knows most of the weapons in the video have been buffed like rhadans greatsword light the holy sticks now scale with the weapon
Love the video the sword of darkness is my favorite legendary armament if you haven't done all of the legendary sorceress and incantations I would love to see that in the future keep up the good videos bushy
hey i know you can get the stone sheathed sword without waking up the furnace giant, there's a spot you can jump in its pretty easy
The hand puppet has spoken
"Can you get Mil-prost and Rotten Winged Sword in 1 playthrough" - yes. You just have to kill milli at the end of the quest.
I think that was patched?
Watching you casually no-hit Radahn to half health made me feel like a noob
ha i was just watching your base game legendary weapon only video earlier today very cool that you upload this now
I’d say the fact that you can’t use pretty most of the coolest ashes of war against the dlc bosses without getting punished for them means From has taken their aggression a bit too far. The dlc was good, and obviously the boss fights are doable, but it seems like they kind of forgot it’s the PLAYERS who are supposed to be having fun, not the bosses.
My broken toothpick that somehow scaled better than god's hammer of god does more damage and can actually punish fast enough
Slow weapons had a bad time against bosses ngl
Most ashes of wars are like this in base game...
Queue all the ‘skill issue’ idiots even though you’re speaking absolute facts
@@TheThelazygamerz123 Its not really facts, most ashes of war are like this in base game.
Yeah it’s why I don’t find the late ER bosses and most all of the SotE bosses all that interesting. You basically just watch these long attack chains, poke em in the butt once and then back to watching again. It’s all the aggression of a Sekiro boss with almost none of the tools to take control of a fight.
