    As someone who isn't young anymore and has serious responsibilities in life, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the work you put into these videos. Having to step back and say a boss is doable, just not worth the time crunch, is a big thing that younger youtubers don't ever seem to vocalize, but is a very real thing, especially in this franchise with some of these challenges.

I then absolutely wrecked them, then used a bonfire ascetic to wreck them again because they knew what they did to me

      Pinwheel, magus + co, and idol aren’t the exact same, but they are all joke fights with gank mechanics that if you go into the fight with a weapon that deals more than 30 damage a swing the fight is going to be over in about 47 seconds.

    I'm just gonna confess something really weird about my experience with this video
    I've been having a lot of trouble getting to sleep at reasonable times the past couple weeks or so, and for some utterly bizarre reason, this video is my complete cure for it. I'm taking my time right now to actually watch through and finish this whole video in one sitting, because I've found that no matter how much trouble I'm having getting to sleep, if I just put this video on late at night I fall asleep before the half way mark. I think it's got something to do with your voice; even in the more active moments, your voice is just really soothing to listen to.
    Basically, I've been using this video as my diet insomnia cure for a while now, and I just couldn't sit around without expressing that fact.

    after FINALLY finishing Dark souls 2 in it's entirety for the first time, i have to just say- credit to you for doing it with this restriction. i see so many crazy dark souls restrictions, but honestly, all bossing this game didn't even feel rewarding.
    I was down to Darklurker, lud and Zallen, Sir Alonne and Ganky bois as you called them... and the only boss that honestly felt rewarding was Sir Alonne. everything else was a "thank fsck it's over" feeling, especially Lud and Zallen. and sir alonne was only rewarding in comparison to the others by any good degree if i ignored the gauntlet apparently designed for 3 players.
    Screw the DLC. honestly, Heres a ring to buff physical attacks- except ranged ones. here's a massive elemental damage reduction unless you LIKE to melee. you wanted me to melee in darksouls game? fine, you friggin win. I did it. i finally used melee since you despise ranged weapons so much other than clearing the inumerable ganks you set up. yay for 2 friggin mazes, and across the game 3 seperate monster rehashes as boss fights alone, two of the 6 total boss fights in the same DLC. also fuck the frigid outskirts. frankly, I know you said you like DLC 3, but I hated it. not just the outskirts, but the whole thing. i was wandering blindly for all for loyce knights and took way to long just to get cheesed about by the ice hedgehogs and then the white knight. then they chuck the barely-a-boss demon reskin at me.

    I remember playing Dark Souls 1 and getting bombs and throwing knives early on. I used them and thought to myself "I bet you could beat the game with only these" until I reached a point where most enemies flat-out resisted the knives and the bombs became unreliable due to the weird throwing arc and them not scaling at all. Then in Dark Souls 2 they scale with your stats and are actually pretty damned good tools to bump up the damage, specially to huge clusters of enemies, add the elemental variety and you have these creative ways of dealing with enemy groups.
    Then I played Dark Souls 3.

    11:39 I have! I was doing a boss weapon only run and went into this fight with the giant's greataxe. It was torture. Not just this fight. The entire run. The biggest problem with that run was that I couldn't upgrade my weapons that much and even when I could, I knew I'd just be replacing it after the next boss anyways so I never upgraded my weapons unless it was absolutely necessary.

And im a bit sad now because you deserve much much more subs. Or videos are so well made its insane. I really hope for some more dark souls 3 content and i cant wait to see some Elden Ring content. Great job dude! Insane videos. Its just a matter of time untill you really blow up

    Many DLC enemies/bosses do have high elemental resistances, but the real problem is flat ranged damage reduction which applies to pretty much everything ranged from spells and arrows to firebombs. Most enemies have pretty much double elemental resistance against ranged attacks. Ironically regular elemental weapons can work just fine as long as you work around specific high resistances.

    Fun fact: acid in ds2 actually has a use in pve. So what it does is when the invisible acid bar fills on most enemys you'll here a noise and once that happens they take more damage i think around 10% more and it works for both acid surge and corrosive pots
