Fun fact, Gwynevere wasn't meant to... have such a big heart... but allegedly the concept artist was so happy with his design that Miyazaki couldn't help but keep it.
The torch hollow actually is the strongest enemy in the game because its torch attacks are the only attacks in the game that completely ignore your armor and resistances; the damage is calculated as a percentage of your total hit points.
@@diegomastro5681if you are still wondering if he's making that video, he is doing it, it's just he has to do a LOT of editing to get all of the footage from all the runners that contested. That's why it will take a while to upload that video.
Lautrec was not ‘missing’ from fire link shrine, this event is intended. At some point in his dialogue (might be after a reload) he will state “I am free. Now I can get back to work... Keh heh heh heh...”. When he is gone he is doing this mysterious work (could be collecting fire keeper souls for the approval of goddess Fina, or something else entirely). I hope this finds your eyes, I love share the nuances of this game will my fellow community members.
I've never noticed him leaving before (though tbf most of my memories from DS are recent, and I immediately introduce him to the cliff lol, if that's the reason though that's a pretty cool lore bit/attention to detail
@@DoomWolfOfficial Killing Lautrec when he's at the hub is typically the easiest way of handling the situation, and doing so has filtered into the community's awareness from people who know how the whole questline goes. His ring is the most important thing about him, and you can get that from kicking him, so most people have no need to go past that. The only value in continuing it all the way is if you also want his armor and/or the option of gaining an additional Fire Keeper's soul at the expense of never being able to use the Firelink Shrine's bonfire again. You still get the ring then, so really it depends on what you're looking to gain. It's a FromSoft tradition to often include an NPC that travels to the hub location and eventually causes trouble when the right conditions are met.
@@LabTech41 Also Lautrec is one of the most structured characters in the franchise as far as motivations are concerned. He has thoughts on nearly every faction, he has a *good reason* for doing what he does, and his voice actor is incredible.
@@DoomWolfOfficial i dont know if you got the joke, but ill say anyways. Dunkey in his DS3 video jokes about the Plunging attack being the most reliable move in the game
Fun fact! 6:46 Patches only flips the bridge if you DON'T talk to him, OR if you talk to him and you tell him you're a cleric. If you talk to him, but tell him you're not a cleric, he lets you go through just fine. Edit: I think he also flips the bridge if you lie, but chose the cleric class at creation. He has superhuman powers to detect those filthy, filthy clerics. This doesn't stop him from kicking you into the pit later on though, AFAIK.
It's weird cause I never actually talk to patches and he never flips the bridge if you don't? maybe talking with him is the actual trigger for flipping the bridge
I didn't show it in the video, but he _did_ flip the bridge (you can hear it turning at the tail end of the video), and I did talk to him (without telling him I a cleric)
I expected that almost all of our runs would turn out very similar, but you not only took quite a different route but also quite a different approach for a large part of your run. Also that Rickert kill... wow fromsoftware... I didn't know it could be that simple. I thought that only 1 weapon could hit him, but looks like potential any weapon with a poking animation potentially could.
I figured a lot of our runs would be the same too, now I am curious what ya'll did differently, and I was panicking when Fire Tempest didn't hit Rickert, oh DS1 Jank, you never fail me lol
Imo it's genuinely impressive how this game is essentially really hard for pretty much everyone, but can also be completely broken by experienced players who know what items to get. It's a strange and counterintuitive choice of game design, but I find it genius honestly.
I wonder how much of it was on purpose, like they know how busted RTSR can be, but they decided to leave it so early in the game (if you know where to look), so I want to believe it was carefully balanced, but also...probably not lol
16:22 I think the reason only the one that drops the boulders respawn is because otherwise you would be softlocked from breaking that wall that leads to where logan is held in a cage. I also wondered until realizing that boulder breaks the wall.
Like, I agree that would be bad to soft lock players out of Logan, but it also seems right up there with something this franchise would do haha "why didn't you think before attacking that Giant, now you can't do that quest!"
Although it’s probably not intended, you can actually break the wall by getting the snake to hit it or by quitting out and loading back in standing right next to it.
I know im late, but ive been steadily watching your entire catalogue over the last couple weeks. Im going through a rough time and having you on my second monitor or while im in bed has helped ease the lonliness, ya know? Youre very well spoken, funny and tenacious. Your BL4 run of bloodborne has been one of my favorites since thats my favorite game, and i appreciated a lot that you put your death count on each boss. You gained a lot of respect from me for that. Thanks for everything, great video, and im going to keep devouring your content while i play through ER in its entirety for the first time :)
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, and i'm sorry you're going through a rough time my friend. I don't know what's going on, but i'm glad you're here. BL4 was a lot of fun, def need to do more stuff in bloodborne, and glad you liked the death counter, I don't put it in most runs (because most of them don't have crazy numbers) but i thought it would be fun for the low level runs haha
@DoomWolfOfficial i was trying to figure out why you didn't have them in more runs and that's the conclusion I came to as well, besides if it is a bigger than normal number you tell us in your commentary. Def love the bl4/rl1/sl1 runs the most. Inspires me to want to try them as well! Keep on chugging my boy
7:20 I thought it was interesting so I did it with Dragon Tooth and it too does the odd animation. I really do learn something new every time I watch your channel
I had a thought wouldn't it be possible to one shot 4kings with crystal soul spear if they all line up in RTSR range. I remember that spell can go through enemies iirc
It doesn't pen, I tried lol, there is a way to one shot them with this rule set, but I didn't figure it out until too late, i'll let someone else do that ~~ lol
The whole time i was watching this i was thinking to myself "Why doesnt he invest in dex to cast faster" "Why doesnt he farm humanity to make his chaos pyromancy more damaging" and lastly "Why do i keep on watching this, this is so suboptimal...." anyway 12 out of 10 challenge run
Tbf though the humanities for chaos promancies doesn't work, despite the description saying it does, humanities don't increase the damage (it does for the chaos blades though). But yeah there are some things I'd do differently if I were to ever revisit this, but hey haha glad you enjoyed it :)
So I read the challenge as “Can you beat Dark Souls 1, at Soul Level 1, While 1 Shotting all the bosses” and was very confused why you leveled up lol. Still a great and entertaining video. Good luck on the contest.
This was a really cool run, subscribed! Super happy that after all of the challenges, grinding and hardship, you made it back to Ariamis and brought Priscilla some take-out.
The reason for weird blocking is the pivot animation. You can actually cancel spells and miracles by pivoting right after you cast them. Was cool pvp tech to bait rolls
It's surprising, how two Yutubers notorious for their challange runs decided to release videos about one shotting the souls series in the same day. The other guy decided to one shot DS3, though. (It's a russian ytber named Ekky, if you are wondering) Good video too) Keep up the good work
Well done! Entertaining as always. I laughed far harder than I should have at the pop up "Wait, 'for now??' " from the onion🤣 Your patience with Manus was incredible...glad you had a way around the run back, keep at least a little bit of your sanity lol.
I may have just misunderstood something, but does he not use multiple hits to kill the drake at 10:46? EDIT: never mind, I'm stupid. I forgot that the rules stated that minibosses and bosses had to be one-shot, not all enemies. My bad
no no it's alright my friend. I didn't explicitly say it (actually in rough drafts of the video I did but it got cut), but you're right, the rule only applies to bosses and minibosses (plus NPCs and invaders)
Patches moves into Tomb of the Giants IF you advance the Clerics' quests far enough forward for them to go down there; Lautrec will also tell you about him if you talk to him at Firelink. He also only drops the bridge on you if you didn't talk to him through the bonfire shortcut before crossing it.
I know at least on the remastered version if you kill a character like Leroy and then you do a back to title menu then reload the weapons will be there if they got knocked off the cliff
I actually thought you were going hard core, like one-shotting every single enemy, even when farming. But, well, I am not complaining, one-shotting bosses is fun to watch in it's own right.
I did think about doing that when I started the run, and had I not bothered with the dragon torso stone that would have basically been doable, but regular enemies were excluded from the list so I just went with that haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial First time I got a reply from any channel, thanks, don't get me wrong, it was certainly me who got the wrong message, it's a good video. I watched almost all of your content, "that will cost me extra."
6:46 I did a only miracles run and when I went to get the gravelord sword dance I also came across Patches here and thought it was really weird, why does he move to the catacombs in most normal runs??? 😂
Fun Fact about the bed of chaos on switch. If you're looking towards the arena entrance while boc is in her death animation then the game will crash and you'll need to redo the fight
As soon as Wolf gets Pyro Flame +15. "The time has come Chosen Undead. Execute Order 66." Lol Great video as always Wolf! Thanks for always being a homie and adding CC! Can't wait to see what's next.
@DoomWolfOfficial you're probably my favorite dark souls youtuber so I'm just glad that your getting recognized for how much work and effort that goes into making these amazing videos so consistently
I’m slowly seeing all these videos of each run and by far yours is the most interesting😂 cuz you completely went off the “ideal” path and it’s crazy to me
@@DoomWolfOfficial idk if you saw what the other guys did but they all followed the same set of steps, great club for like 30% of the game, then pillar of flames for the rest, your run is the most creative I’ve seen so far I might be missing one or Two other runs rn
nope, because the one shot rule only applies to bosses and minibosses, tbf to you I did cut the audio out explaining that regular enemies are exempt, but the rule set does state bosses and minibosses (specifically) have to die in one hit
@@DoomWolfOfficial oh okay, I figured it was all enemies because there was a few other instances where you didn’t one shot a non boss enemy and reset because of it but I’m guessing those cases were considered to be mini bosses
(16:23) I can actually answer that! So for orientation I'll refer to "towards the front of Sen's fortress" as "North". West is towards Onion Knight, South is out the back door, and East is the important part. If you go down the East path going where the boulders normally do, you'll find the area you turn into to meet the first mimic. Notably, you don't have to turn there though: You can continue straight ahead for more loot. The problem is that, of course, there's boulders going that way at first, so you might elect to skip that and proceed to the turntable. Say you do so and forget about that split in the path for a while, then come back later from Anor Londo having used the demons to fly back. If you, say, immediately kill the giant that drops the boulders and decide to loot all of the fortress afterwards, you'll find that the split that was there before is no longer a split- the path the boulders go down ends abruptly with a pit and a wall, with only the side way for the player to enter the mimic room. Using the turntable WITH the giant alive allows boulders to go down that path, filling the pit so you can run over it and smashing the wall so you can walk through, granting you access to the loot. If the giant didn't respawn, and if you killed that giant, left the area, and returned so that the wall repaired itself, that loot would be permanently inaccessible. Yes, I found this out the hard way. Thankfully the giant respawns though, so I got my shiny. :)
This is true! but it feels...strange that they would do that? idk, From soft is usually like "welp, you missed that item now GG get it on NG+" or something lol, like there are a lot of missable items..honestly its probably more for Logan than it is the gold serpent ring, but either way haha
I just had one of those “oh my God! I am the dumbest person!“ Moments. Rare ring of sacrifice, when you first encounter seath. Yes folks. I have been playing this game for 10 years and never thought of that. 🤦🏻
lets be honest, Anastasia and laurentius are the hardest kills emotionally 😢 theyre both so nice from the outset haha, and if youre a sorcerer and progress logans questline, so is griggs and logan! the only ones who remain bastards are the clerics and patches
I'll also be honest, outside of needing specific items for runs, I never talk to any of the npcs, so my emotional connection to them is already weak to begin with lmao
That insane true name reveal of the video at 6:08 caught me off guard so fucking hard that i`m still laughing from time to time Better than any name reveal in any novel
I actually didn't even get the remaster until recently when I ran out of character slots doing the challenges, figured I'd just buy it instead of keeping track of various saves lol
If I am not mistaken Lautrec follows the clerics down into the catacombs and Tomb of the Giants, that is how he knows about Petrus abandoning the group down there and charges you souls for that information.
@@DoomWolfOfficial vary well played, I'm currently in the middle of my first ever souls games 0 deaths run as I'm very well versed with the games. It's going well and I debated making a UA-cam for it but ultimately didn't 😪
I love it when my favorite Souls channels reference each other. The Dark Souls Cinematic Universe. Also, is "Michael Zaki" a reference to RKG, AKA Prepare To Try?
the dark souls cinematic universe, I like that lol also no, it was just a funny way to say his name. I heard it from somewhere, which probably heard it from somewhere, going back to Prepare to Try haha
as far as i'm aware, lautrec not being there is intended, i think after he comes back is when he offers you tips for a price, something most people aren't even aware he can do, he specifically provides tips relating to patches and reah
I vaguely remember him talking about patches, but I don't recall if it costs souls or not. I, like many others, usually just boot him off the cliff immediately haha
"Nope, he took one Dark Bead." Dark Souls 1 in a nutshell. No clue how that spell made it past play testing, with requirements so low that you can cast it by putting 1 point into Int as a Sorcerer. It is THE Twink Spell™. That all. aside, this run was great, and the perseverance on Manus was truly inspiring. Good thing I never have to do that. :^)
Finally more of this challenge. Old school soul fans will remember the Vageta videos. I remember this one guy with an anime pfp doing the entire game as well
21:15 Wait, would anyone actually argue that that isn't intended? There's items there and that's where you summon Paladin Leeroy for the Pinwheel fight (as though it needed to be made easier)
I don't remember 100% what I said, but the drop to the item would be fine, because likeyou said the item is there to indicate you can drop down (and Leeroy) but I might have been talking about the whole skip? I mean from above that point you can fall down to where you linked, then fall down again, the first one lol
I can’t remember the title of the video but essentially it said that Dark Bead is the strongest spell that From Soft has put out in any of the soulsborne games. This was after doing the math on all the top spells.

@@DoomWolfOfficialahhh
Patches moves into Tomb of the Giants IF you advance the Clerics' quests far enough forward for them to go down there; Lautrec will also tell you about him if you talk to him at Firelink. He also only drops the bridge on you if you didn't talk to him through the bonfire shortcut before crossing it.
He actually did turn the bridge on me, but it was slow AF. You can hear it starting right at the tail end of me saying it lol
I love how the Chosen Undead quite literally *necks* the estus flask when in dragon form.
I noticed that too and was like ..10/10 guys, can't believe that got past testing haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial I mean compared to all the other jank and OP stuff in the game, I guess it's not too surprising
I know at least on the remastered version if you kill a character like Leroy and then you do a back to title menu then reload the weapons will be there if they got knocked off the cliff
That would be great! maybe one day i'll play the remaster version on PC lol
I actually thought you were going hard core, like one-shotting every single enemy, even when farming. But, well, I am not complaining, one-shotting bosses is fun to watch in it's own right.
I did think about doing that when I started the run, and had I not bothered with the dragon torso stone that would have basically been doable, but regular enemies were excluded from the list so I just went with that haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial First time I got a reply from any channel, thanks, don't get me wrong, it was certainly me who got the wrong message, it's a good video. I watched almost all of your content, "that will cost me extra."
6:46 I did a only miracles run and when I went to get the gravelord sword dance I also came across Patches here and thought it was really weird, why does he move to the catacombs in most normal runs??? 😂
I'm not sure, in search of trinkets I guess lol
Fun Fact about the bed of chaos on switch. If you're looking towards the arena entrance while boc is in her death animation then the game will crash and you'll need to redo the fight
That...that sucks lol I never knew that
@@DoomWolfOfficial I know! I only realised after the 3rd time. I have no idea why it happens
As soon as Wolf gets Pyro Flame +15.
"The time has come Chosen Undead. Execute Order 66." Lol
Great video as always Wolf! Thanks for always being a homie and adding CC! Can't wait to see what's next.
That's how it felt in my head lol, thanks my friend :)
I'm so glad that you're finally getting the recognition you deserve
I'm just glad people enjoy the videos :)
@DoomWolfOfficial you're probably my favorite dark souls youtuber so I'm just glad that your getting recognized for how much work and effort that goes into making these amazing videos so consistently
I’m slowly seeing all these videos of each run and by far yours is the most interesting😂 cuz you completely went off the “ideal” path and it’s crazy to me
Ik not even sure what the ideal path would be here I just went with my heart lol, glad you enjoyed it though :)
@@DoomWolfOfficial idk if you saw what the other guys did but they all followed the same set of steps, great club for like 30% of the game, then pillar of flames for the rest, your run is the most creative I’ve seen so far I might be missing one or Two other runs rn
Did you reset after 10:45 and the other times you were “farming Drakes”? The Drakes took multiple hits to kill
Agreed ❤
@12:08 -_-
nope, because the one shot rule only applies to bosses and minibosses, tbf to you I did cut the audio out explaining that regular enemies are exempt, but the rule set does state bosses and minibosses (specifically) have to die in one hit
@@DoomWolfOfficial oh okay, I figured it was all enemies because there was a few other instances where you didn’t one shot a non boss enemy and reset because of it but I’m guessing those cases were considered to be mini bosses
(16:23) I can actually answer that!
So for orientation I'll refer to "towards the front of Sen's fortress" as "North". West is towards Onion Knight, South is out the back door, and East is the important part. If you go down the East path going where the boulders normally do, you'll find the area you turn into to meet the first mimic. Notably, you don't have to turn there though: You can continue straight ahead for more loot. The problem is that, of course, there's boulders going that way at first, so you might elect to skip that and proceed to the turntable.
Say you do so and forget about that split in the path for a while, then come back later from Anor Londo having used the demons to fly back. If you, say, immediately kill the giant that drops the boulders and decide to loot all of the fortress afterwards, you'll find that the split that was there before is no longer a split- the path the boulders go down ends abruptly with a pit and a wall, with only the side way for the player to enter the mimic room.
Using the turntable WITH the giant alive allows boulders to go down that path, filling the pit so you can run over it and smashing the wall so you can walk through, granting you access to the loot. If the giant didn't respawn, and if you killed that giant, left the area, and returned so that the wall repaired itself, that loot would be permanently inaccessible.
Yes, I found this out the hard way. Thankfully the giant respawns though, so I got my shiny. :)
This is true! but it feels...strange that they would do that? idk, From soft is usually like "welp, you missed that item now GG get it on NG+" or something lol, like there are a lot of missable items..honestly its probably more for Logan than it is the gold serpent ring, but either way haha
The last thing I was expecting was a mahdrybread reference lmaoo
I am a Mah-Dry-Bread enjoyer lol
Instant sub once I heard a refrence to The Backlogs and Mah-Dry-Bread
Both great channels!
It's been a long time since i watched a video in its entirety. This was so good! Cheers my dude.
I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend :)
Ngl, I've never seen any other of your other videos but I'm going to after how good this video waa
haha thanks my friend, I hope you enjoy the others too :)
I just had one of those “oh my God! I am the dumbest person!“ Moments.
Rare ring of sacrifice, when you first encounter seath.
Yes folks. I have been playing this game for 10 years and never thought of that. 🤦🏻
If it helps, I never remember to use one even though I know it helps haha
If you want to use one there you can. You can also just walk back out through the fog gate.
I love your videos you are amazing.
I’ve been watching you grow for ages and your content keeps getting better❤
Thanks my friend, that means a lot! I'll keep trying to improve with every video :)
8:22 That subscribe part was awesome. 😂
Thanks, I also thought it was kinda clever lol
lets be honest, Anastasia and laurentius are the hardest kills emotionally 😢 theyre both so nice from the outset haha, and if youre a sorcerer and progress logans questline, so is griggs and logan! the only ones who remain bastards are the clerics and patches
I'll also be honest, outside of needing specific items for runs, I never talk to any of the npcs, so my emotional connection to them is already weak to begin with lmao
That insane true name reveal of the video at 6:08 caught me off guard so fucking hard that i`m still laughing from time to time
Better than any name reveal in any novel
lol, well, glad you enjoyed it my friend :)
I actually found your channel through The Backlogs. I was watching Firebombs Only DSIII and one of your videos came up 👍
Nice! Hope you enjoyed this video coming off of lemons perfection haha
Thanks for the video. Really brings me down memory lane. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it my friend :)
I love that you are doing this in the original and not the remaster.
I actually didn't even get the remaster until recently when I ran out of character slots doing the challenges, figured I'd just buy it instead of keeping track of various saves lol
If I am not mistaken Lautrec follows the clerics down into the catacombs and Tomb of the Giants, that is how he knows about Petrus abandoning the group down there and charges you souls for that information.
I wonder if he actually goes there (like his character model is there) (I've never seen him) or if it's just a lore thing haha
Love the fact I'm getting everyone from this challenge show up on recommended! New subscriber and happy to be here
Praise theeeee sun!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video my friend, Hope you see some other awesome runners in the suggestions!
@@DoomWolfOfficial vary well played, I'm currently in the middle of my first ever souls games 0 deaths run as I'm very well versed with the games. It's going well and I debated making a UA-cam for it but ultimately didn't 😪
Great vid hope your channel grows
Thanks my friend, that's very kind of you :) I'm just glad people enjoy the videos haha
15:50 *Oh noes!*
I don't blame you for denying that ever happened!😅
lol idk what you're talking about I def never lost those souls!
@@DoomWolfOfficial What happened?
Mad respect for that ZeroLenny reference
love ZeroLenny's stuff haha
10:45 didnt you hit these drakes multiple times tho?
Indeed I did, because the one shot rule lemon imposed only matters for Bosses, Minibosses, NPCs, and Invaders
@@DoomWolfOfficial Makes sensee my bad didnt know the ruleset . cool run might try somethin like this
The four kings 🤘🏻
best reference I ever made lol
New wolf video its gonna be a good day
Hope you enjoyed it my friend :)
13:45 that might be the most legendary quote ive ever heard
its true too lmao
@@DoomWolfOfficial for real tho, darksouls be like that, although you put the comedy in the darksouls youtube fanbase so keep up the good work my man
Great video 🎉. Gives me some Backlogs vibes😂. Also min 20:28 🙌
Backlogs inspired me to start making content. It's all come full circle lol
I love it when my favorite Souls channels reference each other. The Dark Souls Cinematic Universe. Also, is "Michael Zaki" a reference to RKG, AKA Prepare To Try?
the dark souls cinematic universe, I like that lol
also no, it was just a funny way to say his name. I heard it from somewhere, which probably heard it from somewhere, going back to Prepare to Try haha
34:23 that chihuahua has the exact same pattern as two of mine
That's adorable :)
Thanks Mr. Wolf!
Hope you enjoyed it my friend :)
as far as i'm aware, lautrec not being there is intended, i think after he comes back is when he offers you tips for a price, something most people aren't even aware he can do, he specifically provides tips relating to patches and reah
I vaguely remember him talking about patches, but I don't recall if it costs souls or not. I, like many others, usually just boot him off the cliff immediately haha
You multi hit the dragons 🐉 lamme
Yep, only bosses, npcs, invaders, and mini bosses (non respawning things) counted. But that's too long a title for UA-cam lol
Youre a super enjoyable channel hope you grow big and work with other channels like Prod and after first vid ive seen im subbing
Thanks that's real kind of you to say my friend :) glad you enjoyed it and I'll do my best to keep making funny content!
"Nope, he took one Dark Bead."
Dark Souls 1 in a nutshell. No clue how that spell made it past play testing, with requirements so low that you can cast it by putting 1 point into Int as a Sorcerer. It is THE Twink Spell™.
That all. aside, this run was great, and the perseverance on Manus was truly inspiring. Good thing I never have to do that. :^)
Haha I love/hate how strong dark bead is, and thanks!
Poor Mysterious Travelling Havel Man. He didn't deserve the disrespect of gravity alongside the scientific method...
I will pass on your condolences to him haha
Finally more of this challenge. Old school soul fans will remember the Vageta videos.
I remember this one guy with an anime pfp doing the entire game as well
They walked, so we could run lol
This run was very satisfying (on the killing attempts), I would also have taken my anger out on the “innocent” npcs (they’re federal agents)
it was pretty satisfying to do, especially manus lol
16:46 that encounter with prince ricard reminds me of the VLDL episode of crossplay
I don't know what that is, but I am glad my friend! lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial ua-cam.com/video/0Mjz6j_CUzA/v-deo.htmlsi=Vm3lqZXlfFZvBZvf
I'm impressed you take the time to answer to literally every single comment even one month later, great video man
one of my favorite parts of making a video is getting to talk with everyone, so I enjoy answering the comments!
Subbed simply for that call to action. Well played, sir.
haha, glad you liked it my friend, thanks! :)
Just found ya. Gonna bingewatch your vids. Loved this one!
Glad you enjoyed the video my friend, hope you like the others too :)
"The first NPC invader, Kirk"
Mildred: am I a joke to you?
yes she was, but also you're right lol
7:03 darkroot npcs say the same thing to me, also good video
those poor Darkroot NPCs, just wanna defend the forest haha, thanks :)
12:10 how many hits was that? -_-
probably 2-3, i'm just guessing without looking at the time stamp, but I already responded to your other comment lol
21:15 Wait, would anyone actually argue that that isn't intended? There's items there and that's where you summon Paladin Leeroy for the Pinwheel fight (as though it needed to be made easier)
I don't remember 100% what I said, but the drop to the item would be fine, because likeyou said the item is there to indicate you can drop down (and Leeroy) but I might have been talking about the whole skip? I mean from above that point you can fall down to where you linked, then fall down again, the first one lol
Gotta give it to him , that pun “ 2 hcups” got me good
I'm glad :)
I can’t remember the title of the video but essentially it said that Dark Bead is the strongest spell that From Soft has put out in any of the soulsborne games. This was after doing the math on all the top spells.
I feel like I've watched this as well, but I can't remember anything about it lol
the type of video id enjoy so much watching while eating. in fact im doing that rn, even paused the eating just to type this comment. great video!
I also like to eat while watching videos, and am glad this video is elevated to that status haha, glad you enjoyed it :)
as an avid former pyro, i went "ooh yea" in the "assuming they connect" part
If the fire connects, it does the many burn...if it connects qq lol
22:28 "why do npcs leave me all the time?"
even dark souls reminds me of her :(
oof, felt that one lol
This is a good video. Thank you :D
Glad you enjoyed it :)
