So astute of her to notice the similarities with Sif. She's really giving the game its due respect. Very thorough and enjoyable playthrough, thanks Kanata!
@Hidetaka Miyazaki true. but imagine the pure emotional damage. You should've maybe patched a way to make it more streamlined that way after the dlc was made Miyazaki.
Her reaction was so satisfying. She took time during her whole run to actually read the lore on the items so she knew a couple of things about Artorias. There was a big build up until this very moment, this fated encounter. That scream when she saw his name was genuine astonishment and surprise cuz she knew how important he is in the lore and also cuz she thought he was dead also in the DLC. I'm loving her DS streams as a fan of DS and of hers. She doing great numbers too as a streamer and Hololive member, besides enjoying the game a lot. I'm very happy for her 🥲
In general, the fact that Artorias was there should not have been a surprise, next to the exit to the arena there is an NPC who is also a time traveler and he mentions who the boss is
Another streamer who did something similar was Wraff during Elden Ring. She was happily figuring things out on her own, and actually got peeved when her viewers spoiled that there was a second certain Lord of Blood when she had just flipped out over finding the first one.
I was excited for her to meet Artorias because she seemed really interested in him since she always reads or hears his name mentioned in npc dialogues and item descriptions that she reads.
Looking back on the Artorias fight after all these years it looks like he was the prototype for the evolution of boss behaviour we see in later souls installments, had delayed attacks and longer combo strings than other bosses in the game.
and sometimes reading player's input so he can dodge in time. I wish we could see him in his prime along with his untainted sword, his pendant, and his greatshield
@@tiramusi its only like one level at this point, unless you want his weapon i always give it to her to appease my lore sensibilities. she's not lying she really was his friend
@@Teal_. Of course I know that she's not lying. It's just we (you and I) play with different approach. I mean, even Kanata said something along the lines of "She's Artorias' wife right?" before talking to her and proceed to still keep the soul lmao.
That's what I also thought at first, but then I remembered: this is the girl who stood against Sans for 31 hours until she was able to defeat him and bred axolotls 3200 times until she got the blue one. Dark Souls is actually the perfect game for her and is no surprise at all that she got so good at it.
I knew she’d fair well in the first few seconds. Her character moves were far too cautious. It’s funny how little mannerisms in games can tell us so much about one another.
Kanatan is very patient and methodical, which makes her ideal for Souls-type games. The reason she struggled so much with Sans is because her reflexes aren't lightning-quick. She always needs a second to think, but usually makes the right decision.
She will struggle with ds3 and elden ring, those game are fast, ds3 probably still manageable, but elden ring boss delayed attack and mix up attack can throw someone off. I just managed to remember like 1-3 boss move that I can sneak attack in.
@@KABLAMMATS Elden Ring really emphasizes positioning in boss fights to land hits, pretty sure that's what the Margit bossfight establishes if you want to destroy him. You can get by dodging in Dark Souls, but they really amped up the fights in Elden Ring
@@KABLAMMATS thats why ds3/ER are worse than DS1-2 tbf, instead of tactical and interesting almost "turn-based" combat they went for spectacle and fast moves, 10+ combos from bosses. And it become just not fun and feels like bs for the most part.
@@sanderkiki If it was BS for the most part, you would not get no-hit broken sword runs on ds 3 or no hit runs in Elden ring. It is just different methodology for how combat is approached. There is definitely experimentation taking place from Fromsoft but I mean, isn't that the whole point? Part of the reason we like their stuff is because they are willing to try out new things, even if some of it doesn't come out perfect. What you are complaining about is your personal preference to gameplay. Which is fair enough, but it definitely does not hold under as a proof for the all-encompassing statement you made.
@@Elmithian Its bs doesn't mean its unplayable, its bs means its not fun and generally worse design that previous souls games. Challenge run argument never works, people make challenges for even the most broken and unbalanced games, kudos to them, for it. + whole WA/AoW system just let FS be lazy with actual moveset of weapon so everything feel mostly the same except L2 button. And they broke whole balance and formula of battles. New things? Try Nioh for new things, FS are not experimenting but more like butchering their series now.
An interesting thing is that his buff is interruptible. I tried getting greedy and snuck a hit in when the animation began and was shocked to see I broke the animation and prevented the buff. That aside, I loved this reaction. The sense of wonder mixed with panic was fun to watch, and noticing the connection to Sif was very perceptive. Sharing the animations was a brilliant move by FromSoft.
Her fashion souls is very unique. I appreciate that she's paying attention and noticing the little things in the game, even though i'm sure a lot of us missed them on our first play throughs. I'm typically someone who doesn't notice something until i go watch a lore video about it -_-
Thank you for making all of these subtitled clips of her playthrough! Sadly I can't enjoy it in full because I don't speak Japanese, but thanks to your hard work I'm able to enjoy highlights like this one and that makes me very happy! I now find myself waiting for your next upload to see what happens next in Kanata's journey
Angels arent ment to be either good or evil they simply follow Gods will and words and to put a man such as him to rest is quite a mercy don't you think
What if she's based on a biblical angels? The terrifying monsters who would end the world, so she is as merciful as it could get in comparison. I know she isn't but an easy idea of why.
angels originally weren't good or evil they simply follow Gods will and if he ordered someone to die they would do it if he ordered someone to live no matter what they would do it their not good or evil they simply are
y'know its says alot when noticing artorias's broken arm is enough to make me cry and remember the horrible things that he and sif went through. dark souls is so cool
It's really nice to see how Kanata is really exploring the game and checking out the items and descriptions. I was really disappointed with the sequels, but maybe Kanata will try those next?
What’s funny is, this is only a fraction of his full strength. Just like in Radahn’s lore, Artorias has been driven mad and wounded severely. Artorias used to have a Shield on his right hand since he is left handed. And yet, he swings his sword with his right hand during your battle because his left arm is broken. And through all of these handicaps, he can still beat anyone to a bloody pulp any day.
Man artorias took me 16 or 17 tries. I changed shields, weapons , armours and what not just to kill. 2 grueling hours of struggle before i finally put him to rest. Still nothing could prepare me for manus. That guy took everything from.
He is by far my favorite boss not only the combat but the design and lore Heck he was fighting us with his right arm, he is left handed Supposedly he is based on guts from Berserk
I love Artorias as a character and I love seeing people reacting to him for the first time. But I can never take him seriously again after that italian SFM
Level 79 if you consider that overleveled, I personally think that seems about right. Her build is just relatively well optimised tbh with a ring of favor to boot so she can actually take a hit.
@@ax3l0lrat3r She's clearly very overleveled. She not only does insane damage but takes very little. Elden Ring has trash mobs that do more damage than that.
Noooo! Never roll straight backward against a great sword... Always roll back diagonally. It takes out some of the guess work on range. Dex builds FTW!!
6 tries? That's really good, Artorias is a fantastic fight, just the right balance of challenge and opportunity. I shall be interested to see how she handles Manus.
As someones whose heart absolutely broke when I learned the lore of Artorias and Sif, thank you for giving that man his final rest. He's fought long enough.
Artorius is probably difficult if you play through dodges. But I liked everything big and came to it late, so I had a big Artorias shield, a zweihander, and skull knight armor. He could not break through the shield with his somersaults and was easily defeated

Best boss in all dark souls!
@@robertwallen1582 couldn't agree more
@@robertwallen1582 not at all.
After all Dark Souls series released, Gael much better than Artorias. I know Artorias badass but Gael another level
@@shiroiidakku Gael is so good he made me weaken myself and die purposely twice just to fight him again
It's a fun fight
So astute of her to notice the similarities with Sif. She's really giving the game its due respect. Very thorough and enjoyable playthrough, thanks Kanata!
imagine if she did the dlc first into sif for the special cutscene.
@Hidetaka Miyazaki true. but imagine the pure emotional damage. You should've maybe patched a way to make it more streamlined that way after the dlc was made Miyazaki.
@Hidetaka Miyazaki well yeah there's way too much you have to do to be able to do that by accident

Couldn't have said it better myself brother 😭💯💯
You know she's way too deep into DS when she's happy to fight a strong boss
Can't wait for her to play DS3
You know she is too deep when she recognizes who she is fighting
Waiting for her to play sekiro
Edit : holy shit she did
It's our curse
@@Chamadzerowell the name indicator and DLC name are kind of a big hint for that one

Pretty much the first of his kind. A true legend.

Pretty sure you are right. He was popular too so moving forward more and more bosses are like Artorias and fewer are their own thing.
I would say Manus more than Artorias. If I didn't know any better, I would think he came from Bloodborne.
Tries to punish your estus chugs as well.
Surprisingly Kanata has been really good at Dark Souls.
"They grow up so fast"
And she's actually not naive enough to give Artorias's souls to Ciaran lol. In my first playthrough I instantly gave it to her.

Seeing her so excited to see this guy while absolutely getting her cheeks CLAPPED at the start was so damn funny to me
00:36 she doesn’t say 「絶対怒っているよ」 but instead says 「絶対イカれてるよ！」 “Zettai ikareteru” which means “he’s totally gone crazy”
Ahhh i see, thank you !
These clips make me wanna replay ds1 again, ngl
I love Kanata's playthrough of DS so much. It took me like 2-3 hours on my first time to beat Artorias and she looks like a natural.
did she actually kill the lady on the ground after giving her the soul
Her: he moves like Sif.
Me: yes, thats his wolf.
also Me: Behold! The original slave knight fight!

Blind dark souls playthrough.... 懐かしい 😇
I was also surprised how fast he appeared, I was thinking he would be midway boss or even end boss of the dlc but he appears so early it threw me off
Legends say Artorias had two working arms until he shook hands with an Angel.
Wait until she sees Sif again
Man she picked up this game quick. What a gamer.
Kanataso is doing a great job! What a sight seeing someone appreciating the first DS.

Kanata can be quite merciless. Are we sure she's an angel?
What need do angels have for mercy?
They are not filled with doubt but certainty.
Besides, in Lordran gorilla strength is a mercy, a swift end!
Angels arent ment to be either good or evil they simply follow Gods will and words and to put a man such as him to rest is quite a mercy don't you think
She's on her fallen angel outfit, so not the merciful type of angel.

Kanata is too adorable! Thanks for the clip!
She goes through the game pretty fast.
So flabbergasted that she didn't even try to fight back
yaaa.... Sif learned his moves copying the way his master moved..... gotta love that big wolf.... 🥲
After the fight I realized he wasn't fighting with his main hand because its broken so it was no even his full power.
If she ever plays Dark Souls 3, she'll love the Abyss Watchers
Thank god I finally found someone who clipped her DS1 runs. I love seeing people's reaction in any souls game.
So cool how people experience the same thing differently. Dark Souls 1 still being played makes me happy.
Thank you, algorithm.
I needed this today.
She's gone, she's happy fighting a strong enemy. She has gone too deep into the rabbit hole.
Greatest boss with the saddest story=(
Saw this live and was very excite bike for the meeting. Thanx for clip and translation!
Complimenting your enemy while being pummeled into the ground
Even now, years later, my favorite thing about people fighting Artorias is their reactions to him.
Kanata: 3 consecutive hits!
Morgott: amature
It’s nice seeing someone pick up this series, pay attention to the lore and actually have fun
Kanata: I don't know when I can heal.
Artorias: You get 3 seconds. *Leaps*
1:04 gets ground pounded 3 times in a row
Kanata: KAKUIII!!!
Gotta love Her lol
She likes men who do it rough
This -Gorilla- Angle is born to be Soul games streamer, I hope she'll do all of formsoft games, atleast.
This was a sick fight watching my self do my sick flips and stuff.
It'll be QUITE some time til' then lol but I hope she recognizes that similar intro-throw when facing Gael in DS3
Delayed attacks gets people every time
One of my favorite bosses across the whole series
when she tought Artorias is strong, wait until she fight Gael XD
Imagine beating up your future self in 6 attempts.
>Gets killed by attack delays
DS2 is gonna be fuuuun

I remember my build was too slow for Artorias. I had to increase my defence and them trade blows with him to win
"Lets give it then kill her"
- Amane Kanata, angel of hololive
Huh, she used the same weapon I did my first playthrough. Nice
Man artorias took me 16 or 17 tries.
I changed shields, weapons , armours and what not just to kill. 2 grueling hours of struggle before i finally put him to rest.
Still nothing could prepare me for manus. That guy took everything from.
Awesome!
She needs to play all the souls games. Great content
Surprised to see Artorius in a DLC called Artorius of the Abyss
Now, Let us hope and pray she'll play all the sequel, BB, Sekiro and ER (including the DLCs)
holy crap i enjoyed fighting artorias
He is by far my favorite boss not only the combat but the design and lore
Heck he was fighting us with his right arm, he is left handed
Supposedly he is based on guts from Berserk
He is not left handed tho, that's a delusion turned into popular fan theory
@@maximusmirov6478 thế theory pretty nice tho. I like it.
fun fact : we fight artorias in his 50% of he true power
I mean to be fair it only took me like 6 times to kill him too, it's just taking it very slow and cautious.
"Give it and then kill her" that's exactly what i do XD
i' play too much souls yet it never occurred to me that sif's moveset is similar to artorias.
I love Artorias as a character and I love seeing people reacting to him for the first time. But I can never take him seriously again after that italian SFM

Go cutie go. Ob
after playing elden ring most dark souls bosses are pretty underpowered it seems.
Are you going to subtitle the entire playthough? I'm just curious.
YA BE
Artorius is probably difficult if you play through dodges. But I liked everything big and came to it late, so I had a big Artorias shield, a zweihander, and skull knight armor. He could not break through the shield with his somersaults and was easily defeated
아르토리우스 한테 맞고 체력이 저거 밖에 안닳았었나?
