I have played the sequel in coop and ya it just doesn't feel the same. Less souls like in terms of world design and more based around farming bosses to try all the weapons it seems.
@@SheenShots The world building and lore is way more interesting in salt and sanctuary, took me a few weeks to finish my first game of sanctuary. Sacrifice took me 2 years to finally want to finish it, was still disappointed. Still fun just not as much as the first and challenge runs doesn't have the same feel in sacrifice than sanctuary.
I played S&S2 at launch and beat it and it's definitely lacking a lot of what made 1 so great. But I also recently replayed it after some major updates and it feels better now. Unfortunately there's a lot of Online stuff that's basically impossible to get now since the community is pretty dead. At last on PS4.
In S&S2, they tried to hard to expand the model. Chasing roaming sub bosses down for mats and having a hub kinda felt like a step back... strangely enough. Usually additions like that are welcomed and work but it really just didn't in S&S2. Moving forward I do think they need to take a step back and focus on the expansive world, enemies and lore rather then adding loads of new stuff to the current model. Or at the very least, refine it, maybe with a day/night secret boss system rather then roming bosses. Could be more effective Imo.
@@thereaversden6847 indeed the hub killed a lot of interest from, like ds1 salt and sanctuary was interesting because everything was interconnected, salt and sacrifice killed that feeling of exploration. It merely felt like a platforming game with monster hunter farming, good but not as good as salt and sanctuary is (and now with the randomizer I am getting my ass kicked once more)
I've beaten this game probably like 20 times, and I had no idea you could get to the Floating Castle from the Castle of Storms. I always just took the section between the Dome and Red Hall. LMAO
My experience with that specific challenge was way easier, I went with wisdom buff which gave me roughly double damage to most bosses, even resistant bosses I dealt at least 25% more damage per arrow. All wooden arrow no fire or poison arrow for me. Also I've got the bow from the archers before the parrot boss, if I recall correctly base damage is better than your bow, scaling might be better too. Fun vid to see, watching someone who doesn't know as much as I or Backlogs about the game was interesting and entertaining.
This was my first playthrough solo and it definitely could have been way easier. Mainly I could have avoided some backtracking but the size of this game makes backtracking very painless which is nice.
@@SheenShots backtracking isn't bad at worst you go from left to right since the map is kinda weird because lore reason. My experience was easier since it was my third or fourth "insert weapon type" only challenge. Dagger is a fun one, quite balanced since you have no range but awesome damage potential, lance and scythe are fun too since they have good combos to play around. Anyway was the second vid youtube showed me from you and that one got my sub, the presentation is humble and describe your experience greatly, I liked it a lot. Reminded me of Lemon from Backlogs^^
Slight correction. Only Some gold is lost on death. Its percentage based but luckily not a large percentage. Encurages you to actually spend it which is nice
Yes if I remember you lose some amount for being brought back to a sanctuary. This matters more early on but later you have so much gold its barely a thought which is nice.
This was my first solo run of the game, leaving me a bit unfamiliar with how easy it would be to transmute the weapons. As long as you can get your hands on an amber idol that bow looks to be a bit stronger. The only bow to not use would be the class 5 since it is only available at the very end of the game. Bows are still weird though as their max damage is only slightly higher per class. In theory, you could probably stick with the very first bow and see similar results.
38:45 I've finished this game dozens of times and I never once found THAT path to the floating castle, I've always went from below.
I still haven't gone from below if you can believe it. One of these runs I'll take that path lol.
It is so sad that Salt and Sacrifice wasn't as good as this one, Salt and Sanctuary is soooo good

I only knew it was there because there is a feint glow on the online map to point it out lol.
Salt and Sanctuary is such an amazing game.. replayability is insane.. 🔥
Love the longform content!
Great run. Awesome video. This is such a fun game.

yooo salt content! so blessed! you are such an mvp returning to outward and now salt! and the new format continues to rock!
Great game I wish I played more of when it came out.
This game reminds me of the Dishwasher series on Xbox 360
Same dev team! A Husband and Wife duo
Ay another cozy SheenShots vid!
S&S is great!

15:37 I think you do lose gold but not a lot. The person reviving you and bringing your body back to a sanctuary takes a cut.

Sheen if you spam buttons mainly R1 L1 you will tear the slime to pieces and get faster out of the grab works for all grabs
Ah I didn't know if that world with a bow equipped or not. Would have been helpful lol.
@@SheenShots It should because the animation shows only your hands ripping trough the enemy
Awesome video
Thanks!
You can dodge the Dragon’s fire with the Bow’s air float.
Ah I did not think of that. Neat trick.
it feels like the aegis greatbow was a better weapon for this run than the vilehawk bow, is there any reason u did not pick it up

i did a firearm only run. it started as a challenge run and ended up as my easiest playthrough ever 😂
