I know a lot of people thought the Abyssal Woods was super empty but I absolutely loved and adored the atmos-'fear' of it. Which desperately makes me want Miyazaki to come back to horror in a more direct way (IE: Like Bloodborne). The ambience of the woods was fantastic, the creeping Madness monsters, and Midra is so damn cool and creepy. The OST for the boss fight, his attacks, his design. Everything was so great.
@@thermalrain_yt9725 I mean you could say that about a lot of areas. The very starting area was super exciting the first time I explored it, now it feels rather empty. Consecutive playthroughs will never be able to capture our very first impression, that's just the nature of exploration.
@@ETBrooD yeah I guess you're right. The game feels much bigger and full of potential the first time then after that it's pretty empty. That's why I've never played a 2nd playthough on any souls game. That part just felt extra empty though. Mainly because I slow walked all over because the game said to sneak past.
@@thermalrain_yt9725 lol same. My thinking was if Fromsoft tells me I should be scared, then I should be really really scared. So I crawled around like it was a survival horror game and I didn't even notice some of the human shaped enemies can be fought xD
Enough can't be said for how insanely huge this DLC is. Its like taking a detour to complete something the size of the entire first Dark Souls game. Compare it to previous FromSoft DLCs which are often 3 areas or so and maybe 4 or 5 bosses tops. This is staggering additional content.
It's so funny that Lobos got that obscure hinterland puzzle immediately but didn't get the church puzzle, which I found quite obvious. Not a slight on Lobos, just interesting to see how our brains work differently.
I fully agree on Mohgs shackle for illusories. That it removes the reward. But also to add to that you also don't learn the illusory walls, so like in every playthrough for all of eternity in every little dungeon you'll need to keep using shackle, while if you figure out where the walls are you just open them. (I mean maybe doesn't matter if you're not as thorough, but myself as someone who in every single build takes every little item and kills every little enemy, I much rather just learn all the walls.)
I'm sure Lobos learns later, but in the area that requires waking up the giant, you actually can jump in through the back by climbing on the wall. The mid section has collision you can stand on pretty much where he was trying it.
These games are so much better for a first play through, imo, offline. Without the constant messages and bloodstains everywhere. They just ruin the atmosphere, and the messages are either outside information you shouldn't know or the same old jokes.
Lobos... The thing where the game doesn't allow you to double jump if you drop off a cliff has been a thing since literally day one of Elden Ring releasing, it's not a DLC thing. But it only happens if wielding big weapons.
I find it funny how Lobos dislikes the Wickermen you need to throw Pots into, when I vastly prefer that over wacking the legs for 5 minutes to get a big stagger. (also I don't think he ever found the note that hinted at the pot sollution)
It's very enjoyable to dodge the single stomps, because the hitbox on those lasts barely any time. It's like Erdtree avatar dodging, very rewarding. When they start jumping or doing their stupid swirly dance, that's when it gets annoying, since you can't keep whaling on their legs. The pot shenanigans take way longer, with having to wait for the dumb thing to stop spamming fire rain and actually get close enough to be potted on.
I hate them because the way you're supposed to fight them didn't make sense to me. Whoever designed them didn't think about other mechanics in the game that work against the process of fighting this enemy. The type of throwable, the element of the throwable, the limited number of them, the need to craft them, the inability to craft during combat when we need to make more, the type of attack that the furnace uses which is almost impossible to outrun on foot while thinking of what you're supposed to do to fight this thing the first time you see them: all of these factors made this enemy annoying and poorly designed, thus not fun, even if it is easy to handle once you know what to do.
Wooh I can finally watch all Elden Ring content again! The Frenzy Boss is definitely one of my favorites from this DLC. Didn't expect to basically fight one of the Endings in the DLC.^^ edit: Huh Ansbach just vanished for me after I played Mailman. I didn't get the Leda Invasion. I could summon Ansbach for the last two bosses though.
Yeah, the recent items menu is great, but I don't think it should have been the first inventory tab. Cause now can't quick menu bolluses or memory of grace etc... well you CAN but it takes regretting used to and well it is an extra click.
7:40 When Malenia blooms she becomes the goddess of rot no? Unless those are separate things, she already was the goddess of rot in her fight against Radahn, since she says herself that „the scarlet bloom flowers once more“ and we know from Item Descriptions that she bloomed twice. And since Malenia „dreamt for so long“ when we encounter her, I think it makes a lot of sense, that the butterflies were indeed bereft of their master, Malenia, after her fight with radahn and that Romina has conjured them during that time.
Ugh wow im on ng+ and didnt seem like a big deal until the later bosses. The elder inquisitor guy was 2 and 3 shotting me and lobos gets there im like this is gonna be tough and the boss barely does any damage to him lol
The abyssal woods are probably my favorite part of the DLC, just purely due to the vastly different experience. Way fewer enemies, atmosphere weighing on you heavily, a weird sense of joy when you find out that From really does remember Bloodborne, immediately followed by utter panic when you get spotted. Multiples times have I been jumpscared and just tore ass and ran across the entire area without looking back. I will say it does require the player to be willing to break the previous notions regarding the gameplay. You HAVE to stop trying to explore everything. You can't just go run straight at the map and then go "ugh, where do I go" as you round the 40th corner with nothing behind it. You really do need to just wander around for a bit, find the scare and then be appropriately afraid once you realize you cannot defeat these enemies. And then you slowly find the real way to go and that eases you back into the normal exploration+fighting gameplay standard. I don't play horror games, but this little section was really well done in terms of balancing a break from the usual gameplay with a complete shift and then leading back into the usual flow. And I'll always enjoy a few Bloodborne references. Edit: Alright, scratch the "unkillable" stuff, I guess. Feels like parrying breaks their invincibility. Because I've stancebroken them before and upon the riposte the healthbar didn't even show up. Meanwhile upon Lobos' parries the healthbar just suddenly appears and then they can be hit. Given it doesn't work with normal stancebreak I'll lean toward bug for this. Which kinda ruins the atmosphere, making the invincible easily killable.
I'm confused at what you mean that you have to stop exploring everything... Still explore every tiny corner in the woods same as any other place. And yeah the note in manor tells you to shove their weapons to the side or whatever to be able to touch them. So as soon as I found that I knew what to do.
I always explore every corner of everything and had no trouble finding that top section map. And then everyone i watch struggling to find it, I feel a wee like the "Judgmental Volturi" meme. XD
I mean Lobos you dislike carian retaliation, but like when doing parry only run, if I can't parry a boss normally I'd rather do spell parries, then just like kill him parryless (like Mohg for example was one of my most fun boss fights when I did him with carian retaliation, took like 30 minutes per attempt)
Clearly overleveled and overdamaging I think the scadu fragements are being used when they shouldn't be, you should only be using scadu fragments if you're finding things difficult, just maxing them out and using them regardless of this will make you OP imo, I dont think that was ever the intention with them to just max them out, but gamers be gamers
LoL yeah and you were never actually meant to level up, only level when you're finding things difficult. Is that some weird ass trolly copy-pasta or are you mentally challenged?
I can almost KIND of understand where you are coming from, but IMO game developers should always know that players will be tryhards/stupid therefore it's the game developers responsibility to prevent things like that from happening. If they put it into the game then people are going to use them lol. Sure some players might choose to do challenge runs, but most won't. If they didn't intend for the game to be played that way then they would've balanced things differently.
@@TigburtJones only because the mainstream left cult members don't like his views so they over blow everything. He messaged a 17 year old but when Jerry Seinfeld was dating a 16 year old he was plastered all ove TV. The same morons who say a 12 year old can change from a boy to a girl are the same who say a 17 year old can't message people who are a year older than them. Then as soon as the girl turns 18 she can hop on only fans and become a self made woman. They aren't consistent on anything and just go off their feelings all the time. Pretty scary when all the major companies just decide to drop someone because they're scared the big investment firms and advertisers will cast them aside. Sure he shouldn't have done it but it was 7 years ago. I'm not sure anyone hasn't undergone major changes since 2016. People are too quick to judge when they don't know any details.

Chad timestamper i tip my hat to you.
Wow that's alot do work bro, thanks
Thanks! This was helpful when my cat sat on my keyboard.
Thank you so very much! 😮
Parrying the aging untouchable first try was peak Lobos
This DLC is like an entire game. It’s insane and I can’t believe that there’s another part of Lobos playing the dlc after this one still!
I know a lot of people thought the Abyssal Woods was super empty but I absolutely loved and adored the atmos-'fear' of it. Which desperately makes me want Miyazaki to come back to horror in a more direct way (IE: Like Bloodborne). The ambience of the woods was fantastic, the creeping Madness monsters, and Midra is so damn cool and creepy. The OST for the boss fight, his attacks, his design. Everything was so great.
It was awesome for the first couple of minutes. Then it's just a big open empty nothing
@@thermalrain_yt9725 I mean you could say that about a lot of areas. The very starting area was super exciting the first time I explored it, now it feels rather empty. Consecutive playthroughs will never be able to capture our very first impression, that's just the nature of exploration.

Maybe even bigger than DS1… I agree witchoo
It's so funny that Lobos got that obscure hinterland puzzle immediately but didn't get the church puzzle, which I found quite obvious. Not a slight on Lobos, just interesting to see how our brains work differently.
3:32:02
This sequence of events killed me. The jump up and then the accidental follow up.
torrent being afraid of the abyssal woods because frenzy is the only power that can actually kill a spirit is such a great touch
I fully agree on Mohgs shackle for illusories. That it removes the reward. But also to add to that you also don't learn the illusory walls, so like in every playthrough for all of eternity in every little dungeon you'll need to keep using shackle, while if you figure out where the walls are you just open them. (I mean maybe doesn't matter if you're not as thorough, but myself as someone who in every single build takes every little item and kills every little enemy, I much rather just learn all the walls.)
46:50 "No horse ahead" is a Chinese message. It says "liar ahead" but it gets mistranslated for some reason.
Oh, right. I thought people did it because it sounds like "No whores ahead", meaning this person's a liar and gets no bitches.
1:47:00 The messages are all spooky developer signs.
4:21:46 - “I’d like a baker’s dozen of your finest poop donuts 💩🍩, please!”
I'm sure Lobos learns later, but in the area that requires waking up the giant, you actually can jump in through the back by climbing on the wall. The mid section has collision you can stand on pretty much where he was trying it.
Midra was definitely the most enjoyable fight to far. He is both spectacular AND clear to read.
These games are so much better for a first play through, imo, offline. Without the constant messages and bloodstains everywhere. They just ruin the atmosphere, and the messages are either outside information you shouldn't know or the same old jokes.
Agreed, I am poor so I usually play these games offline, but I will admit I think it would be nice to sometimes get hints.
8:26:12
Oh no, a neatly folded letter. How, oh how, could we possibly read its contents, I wonder. It must be an impossible task.
Lobos... The thing where the game doesn't allow you to double jump if you drop off a cliff has been a thing since literally day one of Elden Ring releasing, it's not a DLC thing. But it only happens if wielding big weapons.
i wonder if we can use the thing to free/ undo seluvius' pupetry the charm removal item thing
I find it funny how Lobos dislikes the Wickermen you need to throw Pots into, when I vastly prefer that over wacking the legs for 5 minutes to get a big stagger.
(also I don't think he ever found the note that hinted at the pot sollution)
lol i got the message but threw pots at their legs
It's very enjoyable to dodge the single stomps, because the hitbox on those lasts barely any time. It's like Erdtree avatar dodging, very rewarding.
When they start jumping or doing their stupid swirly dance, that's when it gets annoying, since you can't keep whaling on their legs.
The pot shenanigans take way longer, with having to wait for the dumb thing to stop spamming fire rain and actually get close enough to be potted on.
I hate them because the way you're supposed to fight them didn't make sense to me. Whoever designed them didn't think about other mechanics in the game that work against the process of fighting this enemy. The type of throwable, the element of the throwable, the limited number of them, the need to craft them, the inability to craft during combat when we need to make more, the type of attack that the furnace uses which is almost impossible to outrun on foot while thinking of what you're supposed to do to fight this thing the first time you see them: all of these factors made this enemy annoying and poorly designed, thus not fun, even if it is easy to handle once you know what to do.
@@Accomplish305I mean it's a gimmick. And it works fine as a gimmick, they aren't like normal bosses, it's a puzzle/gimmick boss
I think they are fine as an elite enemy, but there are simply too many. Three would have been enough, four at max.
7:38:05
Rominas sting from above cured him of scarlet rot????
I think thats the same attack as the "AoW: the poison flower blooms twice" which removes poison/rot when it hits
Great vod Lobo
Wooh I can finally watch all Elden Ring content again! The Frenzy Boss is definitely one of my favorites from this DLC. Didn't expect to basically fight one of the Endings in the DLC.^^
edit: Huh Ansbach just vanished for me after I played Mailman. I didn't get the Leda Invasion. I could summon Ansbach for the last two bosses though.
Yeah, the recent items menu is great, but I don't think it should have been the first inventory tab. Cause now can't quick menu bolluses or memory of grace etc... well you CAN but it takes regretting used to and well it is an extra click.

Coincidentally the Solitude set has the best resistance to Madness. That Miyazaki 🤭🤭
Ugh wow im on ng+ and didnt seem like a big deal until the later bosses. The elder inquisitor guy was 2 and 3 shotting me and lobos gets there im like this is gonna be tough and the boss barely does any damage to him lol
FRENZY NUUUUUUKE. 🤯🤯🤯🤯

And yeah the note in manor tells you to shove their weapons to the side or whatever to be able to touch them. So as soon as I found that I knew what to do.
Anyone else noticed the small drake in the wicker man? 41:08
Weird detail...
I love that From used carpet instead of, sticking out like a sore thumb, yellow paint.
In combination with light. It's always light sources "subtly" showing off things in Souls games.
I always explore every corner of everything and had no trouble finding that top section map. And then everyone i watch struggling to find it, I feel a wee like the "Judgmental Volturi" meme. XD
1:54:37
Its past a joke, past a meme, the amount of names starting with M.
One day Lobos will get his Bonfire Mimic. One day.
Second? No no no, Huw's on first.
I mean Lobos you dislike carian retaliation, but like when doing parry only run, if I can't parry a boss normally I'd rather do spell parries, then just like kill him parryless (like Mohg for example was one of my most fun boss fights when I did him with carian retaliation, took like 30 minutes per attempt)
I totally thought torrent was under leveled and that’s why I couldn’t use him in the abyssal woods.
Blind asf 🤦🏾♂️
You dropped this 🧠
🤡 You dropped this.
Clearly overleveled and overdamaging
I think the scadu fragements are being used when they shouldn't be, you should only be using scadu fragments if you're finding things difficult, just maxing them out and using them regardless of this will make you OP imo, I dont think that was ever the intention with them to just max them out, but gamers be gamers
Literally yapping
LoL yeah and you were never actually meant to level up, only level when you're finding things difficult.
Is that some weird ass trolly copy-pasta or are you mentally challenged?
Phd in yappology
I can almost KIND of understand where you are coming from, but IMO game developers should always know that players will be tryhards/stupid therefore it's the game developers responsibility to prevent things like that from happening.
If they put it into the game then people are going to use them lol.
Sure some players might choose to do challenge runs, but most won't.
If they didn't intend for the game to be played that way then they would've balanced things differently.
Hey bro. You are the best. I wish you and the Two Time Could collide on some guides and you show him the ropes and what else to play
The two time? You mean the pedo who just lost his game studio?
their personalities wouldnt match but itd be nice
Yes very different personalities-although it now looks like Disrespect is disgraced and in controversy so…I’m glad Lobos never met him
@@TigburtJones only because the mainstream left cult members don't like his views so they over blow everything.
He messaged a 17 year old but when Jerry Seinfeld was dating a 16 year old he was plastered all ove TV.
The same morons who say a 12 year old can change from a boy to a girl are the same who say a 17 year old can't message people who are a year older than them. Then as soon as the girl turns 18 she can hop on only fans and become a self made woman. They aren't consistent on anything and just go off their feelings all the time.
Pretty scary when all the major companies just decide to drop someone because they're scared the big investment firms and advertisers will cast them aside.
Sure he shouldn't have done it but it was 7 years ago. I'm not sure anyone hasn't undergone major changes since 2016. People are too quick to judge when they don't know any details.
