I heard it and was like “wait I thought I was watching a DS3 video lol. I had to look at the screen to double check lol I also still call everything titanite. It’s just built in now. 🤷🏻
It’s pretty distracting honestly. Video earned a solid dislike from me because of it. I get Elden Ring is popular now but this just makes DS3 seem like a knockoff.
So nice of you to show those chests that have Estus Shards. I'm sure they're completely safe and there's nothing scary or surprising about them. 🤷🏼♂️🥰
Your content is entertaining, always well done and polished. You carry yourself with humility and honesty that helps in being very relatable to your viewers. Heck, I went from being stressed fighting Margit without sorcery and a summons at level 50 to fighting Maliketh at RL1 and loving every minute of it. All by watching and learning from your videos. Thanks from all of us! You are amazing!
Holy shit, Terry! That’s extremely generous of you. I’m so glad the channel has helped and you’re enjoying the videos. You’ll be in the credits for all future vids. Thanks for the support and thanks for watching!
same for me haha. I legit was breaking down because I couldn’t kill Margit with 6 hours in the game playing mage + summons and sorcerer rogier helping me. All other guides seem so bad compared to the quality Thingfishy brings to the table. I really wish for a bloodborne guide
ER was my first soul's game. I went out and bought all the other games on disc, to play while waiting for the dlc. ER was a walk in the park compared to DS3 😂. I'm a late 50s grandma and wish I'd found these games years ago, I love them. Thank you for your content on this and ER, very helpful and informative ❤.
Something I absolutely love is that, while you're still providing a thorough enough guide to help new DS3 players make a build and get to the end-game, you aren't fully spoiling everything, and are still leaving a lot for them to experience for the first time.
Honestly the most beautiful guide I have ever seen. I have around 500 hours on Elden ring and have watched so many guide videos for all the different builds I used throughout the game. Even tho this isn’t a Elden ring this guide easily takes the cake. Decided to play dark souls 3 cause a few friends and I did the steam family share so I was able to play dark souls 3 for free. I was looking for a guide to help me with dark souls so I wasn’t doing a completely blind playthrough. This was literally the exact video I was looking for and before I found it I thought there was no way I would find a video like this. The way you don’t tell people certain things to let them fully enjoy the game and even would mess with the viewers so they can get the full dark souls experience was perfect. Since I didn’t have to spend any money to play the game might as well spend it here. Well fucking done man
Thank you so much for the kind words and tip, Mitch! A lovely message to read. Super pleased you enjoyed the video, and hope you're enjoying DS3. Merry Xmas and thanks for watching!
This has probably been my single most watched video on this platform in the last year. I kid you not, this is my favorite video on UA-cam. Thanks a lot for the entertainment man.
Dark Souls 3 is my first souls game and will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for this amazing video. I love how you kept some of the surprises lol.
I've played a number of "Souls-like" games, but Elden Ring was my first FromSoftware game. Watching this makes me sad that I missed out on the franchise, because hearing your description, I can tell the love you have for it. I'm eager for the Elden Ring expansion and hoping it gives you as much joy as I hope it gives me
This video to me didn't feel like a regular Thingfishy guide, it felt different. Not because it is a different game but maybe its the passion and love he has for the game. Maybe coming back to ds3 after a long time gave motivation for such a great video. It might just be me or maybe others can see it too. Also you guys can't deny, the way the video ended was amazing.
He skipped tons of stuff, including some mandatory bosses but don't be intimidated, ds3 is so so good Poise is nearly useless so always going for light roll is very wise in this game.
No need to be intimidated only difference is the “levels” will be a LOT more linear and straight forward. You still have some options to split off from the main path, but you will always have a straightforward progression. Some people consider this as the easiest dark souls
the bosses are EZ REALY LREALLY EASY!!! i only needed to summon phantoms forall of them except the Soul of Cinder The Deacons of the Deep Iudex Gundyr. and all that i somehow killed the only Phantom for cuz i only played in Offline
that was no gameplay it was a true art and moving movie the memories of the times i died and triumph in dark souls are many so many i lost count but i still remember every one of them each and every lesson i recalled them as i watched your videos the months and years i spent in the arena the many memorable people i've faced even in elden ring thank you for this masterpiece
I’m a rookie to “souls games” and I was “born” the day Elden Ring released. Now, after hundreds of hours playing Elden Ring & the “Demons” remake, the oldies (DS3 & Bloodborne) are like brand new games to me. You’ve made so many great build videos, this video is steering me toward playing DS3 next. I hope you’ll make more of them before the new Elden DLC is released! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
DS3 has some really good bosses and is a fun game but some of the levels are annoying due to the number of enemies. I would advise getting the slumbering dragoncrest ring and potentially hidden body if you want a smoother experience. Also don’t forget to play Sekiro as it is the most satisfying game in the series to play and get good at
@@grimreefer213Thanks! Someone else gave me similar advice about Sekiro and how challenging it is, so I bought it as well. Now I just need to decide which one to play first!😝🤣
@@BlueEnergyCat Of course DS2 SotFS is way fcking worse, Shrine of Amana made me rage quit and it took me two days to get back on and get through it. It’s not even that the enemies are hard individually there’s just way too damn many of them. You have to slowly creep along with a bow and it’s mind numbingly boring at best and frustrating at worst with horrible boss runbacks. But DS3 has some pretty fucky areas too that can be quite annoying to get through without slumbering ring at least
@@JB-uu8kh Thanks! Appreciated!! It’s AMAZING to see how passionate the SOULS community are for their games! I showed up late to the party, but imo it’s definitely changed my interests in video games for the better!
I honestly have to agree that you have become one of my favourite elden ring UA-camr have been watching you for quite a while and watching all of your video's just love them keep up the good work❤
Thought I'd add a couple of tips. First, if you're going to buy this, get the Game Of The Year/Fires Fade edition. It comes with Ashes of Ariandel and The Ringed City. If you already own the base game, get the season pass. Despite its confusing description, the season pass again, includes both DLC, and is generally cheaper than buying each DLC individually. Next, if following this guide, a couple of great alternative weapon options to the machete: Vortd's great hammer - transpose his soul for this. Big damage, and frostbite. Longsword: if you prefer sword and board. With a heavy infusion this gets A scaling in strength. Claymore: found in Lothic castle next to the first dragon. You can suicide to pick this up. A great all rounder. Greatsword - found in the swamp on a broken bridge. It's the greatsword! Lothric Knight Greatsword - bought from Greirat after his first expedition. This is like the clay men harpoon and ER greatclub, in that it has split lightning damage, but can be infused and buffed. Great Club and Exile greatsword - got from the farron exiles. Both excellent weapons!
Incredible love letter to ds3. Made the bosses so cinematic that I’m gonna start another play through as if they aren’t gonna one shot my ass more often than not 😂
I love this man so much. He showed how to dodge and easily get past all the traps and troubles. His instructions are very easy to follow. I followed every single step by step and did NOT encounter any kind of traps or surprise and did NOT lose all my souls (15000). Instant subscribe and liked ❤❤
Yea me too. I keep looking up ds3 builds and can't find anything. No builds really at all. It's kinda crazy considering the thousands of build videos for elden ring. I'm not sure about tool tips in games and if they actually work like they say. Or link if rings stack or have good synergy or not. There are a lot of videos about weapons and general gameplay, but rarely any builds other than a few pvp
@@anewstandard.floors It's easy to forget how comparatively small the Souls series was when looking back after the massive success of Elden Ring. In 2016 DS3 was the biggest one yet, but still trapped in the niche, it's crazy to look back.
this game is 10x the game elden ring is. Elden was my first and i’m going through this game for the first time and it’s just flat out a better game with better and less obnoxious pvp.
I would recommend new players to invest more in endurance, at least 30. Big weapons consume stamina while swinging, not to mention the stamina to (panic) roll.
Just started playing DS3 a few days ago. Saw this video and am following it. I like how you are in depth for what to do. Other videos are either no commentary at all or "i'm not gonna explain a lot" and just run at 2 or 3 x speed. Thank you for this!
I’m not sure why i’m watching this as i’ve played DS3 multiple times and just replayed it two days ago but it’s still entertaining I guess lol. DS3 has some amazing bosses, it’s a must play and the DLC has the best dragon boss in the series by a mile even to this day
Awesome intro, keep doing your thing fishy! Peace and Love
Рік тому
My friend, your content is truly valuable for those who don't have the time for more iterations, trying out various builds, and determining which one is the best. Please keep it up. I'm even looking forward to Bloodborne content. I wish you continued success!
Here, take my sub. Awesome walkthrough, just started replaying DS3 and wondering how I manage after playing Elden Ring for unhealthy amount of time, and your vid is excellent refresher of things I forgot.
Thanks for this, just trying out DS3 for the first time and while theres plenty of content for it on YT I am more comfortable with your format of build videos
Damn. Build videos from DS 3 sounds cool. Really enjoyed the video. Also Sekiro and bloodbourne sounds good if you played all the time before elden ring 😁
I can't thank you enough for this, dude. This guide was great and made the game extremely fun. I love strength builds and I've already beat Elden Ring, so this was perfect and super understandable. I'd love one of these for Bloodborne or Sekiro
This video was excellent. I really hope that you do more DS3 videos and It'd also be SO cool to see DS1, 2 or Bloodborne videos. I feel these games don't have enough quality build guides like Elden Ring got.
Definitely keep making DS vids, this was epic! Makes me want to dust off my copy and play it again lol. Let’s see a pyro build vid for the first timers, Chaos Bed Vestiges ftw!!
Been watching your videos for months. Elden Ring was my first FromSoft game, and this opened up the Souls games for me. Thank you! I’d love to see the same thing for Bloodborne!
I've done speedruns of DS3 in the past, watching you gives me both anxiety because of how much stuff you run past and useful pieces of advice you don't mention (discounting the troll ones), but I also learned something new, I did not know that the Stray Demon on the bridge could be crit if you break his legs.
Great vid, and ironically you actually nailed what I like the LEAST about DS3 bosses compared to ER in that you basically only ever get 1 attack while you have to dodge roll a billion 3-5 hit combos. It just made strength builds like this feel naturally more satisfying to play since if you're gonna get only one hit in, why not make it the biggest hit possible? I wish I liked Gael and Midir as much as most people (I still like Gael a lot, Midir is kinda boring to me), but for the most part ER bosses shine so much more to me. It's helpful that in ER so many more builds are viable and parrying isn't a thing relegated to like only 2-3 bosses.
Yep. They gave all the bosses Bloodborne like quickness and didn't give the player the quickstep. That, the fanservice circlejerking "lore" and Ashes of Andriel being so fucking lackluster is why I think DS3 is the worst Souls game by a huge margin. They ignored everything DS2 innovated and made Dark Magic lame as hell.
Not sure if you’ll see this but you inspired me to play through DS3 and I fell in love, I beat the entire game with both DLC in a day and a half. Seriously I blinked and it was over. Would absolutely LOVE to see a Pyromancy build! Anyways thank you so so much for your videos, you made these games seem approachable to me when I first started.
It would be cool if during the playthrough, you could coment other weapons or rings or stuff that is in the area in case you want to change your current setup
Fishy out here serving the community with some incredible content as always. No matter what the game, your editing and helpfulness are top notch. (This is formerly TFF btw). DS3 looks like an incredible game. Idk if $85 is in my budget with a family, but I appreciate it from a distance. I'll support your guides no matter what game you do. Also, I appreciate that you use Elden Ring lingo throughout this guide 😂
Hey man, absolutely fantastic job introducing new players to this game and leaving some content out to still make the play though a fresh experience. We’ll done mate! 👏🏼
please show us more ds3 build guides like this!! huge fan of this format and wanna see it implemented fully in this game and the others if you’re able to
Absolutely loved this! Would love to see some more ds3 vids, especially one with an early dancer fight. Congrats on 40k Fishy, keep up the great work man ❤🎉
Thank you Thingy. This vid hit different and turned around my very grey British saturday. I just completed Journey 3 last night and got The Dark Soul achievement. Although I went full dex and pretty much used all the katanas - I'm a samurai through and through - this vid was very much a quick hour summary of my first 100-ish hours. I really really liked this vid. Thanks again. I'm taking a lil break, then I'm going into DS2 for the first time. Peeps say it's bad - but I don't care. And YES, Slave Knight Gael is the best From boss I've fought so far. SKGs is just such a pleasure.
Great video. I think it’s very funny calling the stuff by Elden Ring terms, but also makes it a lot easier to understand what is going on in the game. It’s extra funny when you talk about the “infusions” which is the correct term in DS3, but not actually an ER term. I think it’s affinities in ER, but we’re so conditioned to think of it as infusions it’s like transcended itself. Hahaha
Pontiff and the Dancer are crazy, i never needed more than one try for Pontiff, even on my first run but the dancer whoops my ass to this day. Her movement completely throws me off each and every single time
As someone who still calls the Smithing Stones "Titanite", and "Twinkling Titanite" for the sombers, it's cool to see someone doing the reverse.
I am always using dark souls terms in elden ring. I honestly forget that elden ring doesn't use titanite or Estes flasks
I heard it and was like “wait I thought I was watching a DS3 video lol. I had to look at the screen to double check lol
I also still call everything titanite. It’s just built in now. 🤷🏻
Just good to know everything across all games is estus and bonfires. Nothing else exists to describe those mechanics
I feel the same mate
It’s pretty distracting honestly. Video earned a solid dislike from me because of it. I get Elden Ring is popular now but this just makes DS3 seem like a knockoff.
So nice of you to show those chests that have Estus Shards. I'm sure they're completely safe and there's nothing scary or surprising about them. 🤷🏼♂️🥰
just use an undead hunter charm lol
I love how evil you are, not telling them about mimics and Wolnear
It's OK Wolnir, we get it . . . you vape! 😷
Yeah I was laughing at the chests he ahem didn’t show opened 😆😆🫡
I knew there were mimics in the game and as soon as I saw it breathing in the vid I immediately knew
Vapelord Wolnir, Ravelord Nito's millennial cousin.
Reading all these wolnear comments were confusing the fuck outa me then I got to him and yea

U are the coolest grandma I’ve ever heard of id actually love to have a grandma that plays the souls games
really? i feel like playing elden ring made me better at ds3
Ds3 suck go play dsr
ER is way harder than DS3 LMAO what? ER bosses are literally twice as fast as Souls bosses.

I bought DS3 after playing elden ring, I love how you present your guide.
I can’t express how useful this is. Been meaning to start ds3 for a while but have always been too intimidated
He skipped tons of stuff, including some mandatory bosses but don't be intimidated, ds3 is so so good
Poise is nearly useless so always going for light roll is very wise in this game.
It’s a monster of a game, in the best way possible
If you can beat malenia, there isn’t a boss in this game who could harm you.
No need to be intimidated only difference is the “levels” will be a LOT more linear and straight forward. You still have some options to split off from the main path, but you will always have a straightforward progression. Some people consider this as the easiest dark souls
the bosses are EZ REALY LREALLY EASY!!! i only needed to summon phantoms forall of them except the Soul of Cinder The Deacons of the Deep Iudex Gundyr. and all that i somehow killed the only Phantom for cuz i only played in Offline
that was no gameplay it was a true art and moving movie the memories of the times i died and triumph in dark souls are many so many i lost count but i still remember every one of them each and every lesson i recalled them as i watched your videos the months and years i spent in the arena the many memorable people i've faced even in elden ring thank you for this masterpiece
53:35, I feel that music volume preparation increase, absolutely necessary.
Build with an early dancer kill would be dope! Your videos are so much fun to watch!
Loved the dark room and the dungeon part, newcomer friendly video xD
Im first to play and Dark room got me "holy fk"😂😂😂😂
I'll watch more later, but that intro was an absolute banger! 🔥
This Video is underrated
That was the best intro I’ve ever seen and right into that soothing voice
This was a wonderful video! You're absolutely devious for cutting out some of the surprises that lay in wait for new players. 😂
Amazing video that is the only I can say mate
I’m a rookie to “souls games” and I was “born” the day Elden Ring released. Now, after hundreds of hours playing Elden Ring & the “Demons” remake, the oldies (DS3 & Bloodborne) are like brand new games to me.

DS3 has some really good bosses and is a fun game but some of the levels are annoying due to the number of enemies.

@@grimreefer213Thanks! Someone else gave me similar advice about Sekiro and how challenging it is, so I bought it as well. Now I just need to decide which one to play first!😝🤣
@grimreefer213 to a degree I agree with that, but DS2 was way worse with annoying enemy placement. (Shudders in Shrine of Amana)
@@BlueEnergyCat Of course DS2 SotFS is way fcking worse, Shrine of Amana made me rage quit and it took me two days to get back on and get through it.

Awesome video, and your choice of music was excellent from start and especially to finish!
I did the same thing after a year of constant Elden Ring. It was like going home (to the Shire) after a long, unexpected journey.
I didn’t know I needed this. But thank you.
Hope you enjoy it, Michael!
I honestly have to agree that you have become one of my favourite elden ring UA-camr have been watching you for quite a while and watching all of your video's just love them keep up the good work❤

Great Club and Exile greatsword - got from the farron exiles. Both excellent weapons!
Forgot to mention the dragon slayer greataxe. Super lategame, but also easily the strongest weapon in the game.
Ayy, another quality upload from the legend himself. Have wanted to revisit DS3 for a while, so I guess this is the sign.
Incredible love letter to ds3. Made the bosses so cinematic that I’m gonna start another play through as if they aren’t gonna one shot my ass more often than not 😂
I love how he says to grab an item from "This chest" but does not open the chest in the video... not suspicious at all.
Mate that ending was emotional, very well done honest to god this vid was amazing, Gael is my top boss aswell joined with orphan and ishinn
This is one of the best videos I've ever watched
It's so engaging from start to finish
Keep up the amazing work man🔥
2nd Comment: Your editing is phenomenal
Love that you didn't spoil any of the traps xD
I love this man so much. He showed how to dodge and easily get past all the traps and troubles. His instructions are very easy to follow. I followed every single step by step and did NOT encounter any kind of traps or surprise and did NOT lose all my souls (15000).

I beat elden ring after watching one of your videos, and now I've beaten DS3 using this one. Amazing content!
Would absolutely love to see different builds in DS3! Pure int or faith, str/faith, MLGS, etc

ds3 is much more of an action game,
than a build focused RPG game

I would recommend new players to invest more in endurance, at least 30. Big weapons consume stamina while swinging, not to mention the stamina to (panic) roll.
yeah, I totally agree, currently playing both DLCs and endurance is invaluable...
Well crafted guide! DS3 has eluded me all these years and now I’m motivated to finally complete it. Cheers!
The intro cold asf ik this gonna be a good video
respect on how you were able to not spoil several eastereggs
Just started playing DS3 a few days ago. Saw this video and am following it. I like how you are in depth for what to do. Other videos are either no commentary at all or "i'm not gonna explain a lot" and just run at 2 or 3 x speed. Thank you for this!
There are three builds I want to see for DS3. Astora's Greatsword, Vordt's Great Hammer, and Valorheart
Did you mean to say Great Club, Great Club, and Great Club?
lets goo a dark souls video just finished the game after a month of playing
next to the Farron Coal is the best Dex weapon in the game the Sellsword Winblades or you could have started as a mercenary
Man i have been waiting for this video dude😭
The smile on my face from the last fight speech you gave was priceless, thank you
I know i'm to late for this but the sliders of you character (looks so good)
As someone who has only had DS3 since this summer break this is a w
Just got DS3 on sale this weekend, and have been struggling pretty bad. This is quite literally the video I needed.
I FREAKING LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!!!
I’m not sure why i’m watching this as i’ve played DS3 multiple times and just replayed it two days ago but it’s still entertaining I guess lol. DS3 has some amazing bosses, it’s a must play and the DLC has the best dragon boss in the series by a mile even to this day
Subbed just for the editing on that dope intro. Well done 👏
This cinematic drama style of your videos is just badass. It has the level of the assasins creed 3 trailer when it came out

It’s hard not saying “bonfire” “estus” and “souls” playing elden ring
deserves a comment for the intro alone, excellent work 👌
Damn. Build videos from DS 3 sounds cool.
Really enjoyed the video.
Also Sekiro and bloodbourne sounds good if you played all the time before elden ring 😁
10/10 would watch a full series of you playing all the souls games in order!
I can't thank you enough for this, dude. This guide was great and made the game extremely fun. I love strength builds and I've already beat Elden Ring, so this was perfect and super understandable. I'd love one of these for Bloodborne or Sekiro
This video was excellent. I really hope that you do more DS3 videos and It'd also be SO cool to see DS1, 2 or Bloodborne videos. I feel these games don't have enough quality build guides like Elden Ring got.
Me: I think I'll try DS3
Me after watching this intro: TO BATTLE BRETHEREN WE FIGHT FOR MORE THAN JUST SURVIVAL!!!!
“Grossly Incandescent Worm.” Nicely done!! Cool little homage to the Solaire/Sunlight Maggot theory.
love your vids! A build with the executioner's greataxe would be nice.
I am pumped, when does this game release?? ;-) could even crush Dragons Dogma 2 ;-))
Definitely keep making DS vids, this was epic! Makes me want to dust off my copy and play it again lol. Let’s see a pyro build vid for the first timers, Chaos Bed Vestiges ftw!!
Perfect for a DS Noob like me who started with Elden Ring! Thanks!
Man, even though i just finished a broken straight sword run in ds3, ill still pop in to watch a guide just because its a thingfishy guide.
Been watching your videos for months. Elden Ring was my first FromSoft game, and this opened up the Souls games for me. Thank you! I’d love to see the same thing for Bloodborne!
Dude casually just dropped one of the best edits and thought we wouldn’t notice
Which edit? ❤
I just noticed you dont even have a 100k subs and that is a tragedy. Everyone needs some Thingyfishy in their life
Bro explained in Elden terms
Comparing the Demons to the Godskin Duo is such an insult to them lmao
I've done speedruns of DS3 in the past, watching you gives me both anxiety because of how much stuff you run past and useful pieces of advice you don't mention (discounting the troll ones), but I also learned something new, I did not know that the Stray Demon on the bridge could be crit if you break his legs.
Do elaborate on some of the things he ran past (at least the areas) and what he didn’t mention.
@@BrawlerTMwell, the prostrated guy by the cleansing chapel bonfire he said didn’t have any relevance was the portal to one of the DLCs
@@swamp-yankeethat’s just British humour
Great vid, and ironically you actually nailed what I like the LEAST about DS3 bosses compared to ER in that you basically only ever get 1 attack while you have to dodge roll a billion 3-5 hit combos. It just made strength builds like this feel naturally more satisfying to play since if you're gonna get only one hit in, why not make it the biggest hit possible? I wish I liked Gael and Midir as much as most people (I still like Gael a lot, Midir is kinda boring to me), but for the most part ER bosses shine so much more to me. It's helpful that in ER so many more builds are viable and parrying isn't a thing relegated to like only 2-3 bosses.
Yep. They gave all the bosses Bloodborne like quickness and didn't give the player the quickstep. That, the fanservice circlejerking "lore" and Ashes of Andriel being so fucking lackluster is why I think DS3 is the worst Souls game by a huge margin. They ignored everything DS2 innovated and made Dark Magic lame as hell.
This is easily may souls channel, u deserve every single sub mate I hope u blow up on this platform ❤
Not sure if you’ll see this but you inspired me to play through DS3 and I fell in love, I beat the entire game with both DLC in a day and a half. Seriously I blinked and it was over. Would absolutely LOVE to see a Pyromancy build! Anyways thank you so so much for your videos, you made these games seem approachable to me when I first started.
Chaos bed vestiges is the only pyro you need. Pyro didn’t work well for me in the dlcs
lightning is the way to go pyros need a lot of stat investment to be on par with pure int or faith@@doboi8121
It would be cool if during the playthrough, you could coment other weapons or rings or stuff that is in the area in case you want to change your current setup
Fishy out here serving the community with some incredible content as always. No matter what the game, your editing and helpfulness are top notch. (This is formerly TFF btw).
DS3 looks like an incredible game. Idk if $85 is in my budget with a family, but I appreciate it from a distance. I'll support your guides no matter what game you do.
Also, I appreciate that you use Elden Ring lingo throughout this guide 😂
Hey man, absolutely fantastic job introducing new players to this game and leaving some content out to still make the play though a fresh experience. We’ll done mate! 👏🏼
please show us more ds3 build guides like this!! huge fan of this format and wanna see it implemented fully in this game and the others if you’re able to
Slave Knight Gael is my favorite boss from any game. Atmosphere, move set, music, etc. It has it all.
I played DS3 for years and did not know backwards parries existed. Thank you.
Absolutely loved this! Would love to see some more ds3 vids, especially one with an early dancer fight. Congrats on 40k Fishy, keep up the great work man ❤🎉
Thank you Thingy. This vid hit different and turned around my very grey British saturday. I just completed Journey 3 last night and got The Dark Soul achievement. Although I went full dex and pretty much used all the katanas - I'm a samurai through and through - this vid was very much a quick hour summary of my first 100-ish hours. I really really liked this vid. Thanks again. I'm taking a lil break, then I'm going into DS2 for the first time. Peeps say it's bad - but I don't care.
And YES, Slave Knight Gael is the best From boss I've fought so far. SKGs is just such a pleasure.
Definitely would love to see an early dancer/moonlight greatsword run from you
Your videos are great! Just stumbled upon your channel and you're giving me some fun ideas for builds!!
I love this video. PLZ do more DS3
Great video. I think it’s very funny calling the stuff by Elden Ring terms, but also makes it a lot easier to understand what is going on in the game.
It’s extra funny when you talk about the “infusions” which is the correct term in DS3, but not actually an ER term. I think it’s affinities in ER, but we’re so conditioned to think of it as infusions it’s like transcended itself. Hahaha
Pontiff and the Dancer are crazy, i never needed more than one try for Pontiff, even on my first run but the dancer whoops my ass to this day. Her movement completely throws me off each and every single time
Strength builds are just so fun. Using the largest weapons just feels great
