🤨 you understand the point of the video was about the total amount of FLASKS(not just healing, this includes magic too 😮) you could carry in each game 😮 So yes 14 flasks in elden ring, woahhhh 😂
I like the healing gourd because it has a really fast animation. Against enemies that input read like Genichiro you can drink your flask and when he does the thrust attack you can dodge out of it to get the mikiri counter in time so you don’t get blasted like you do in the other games.

@@ginger_jesus4716 Exactly, you can drink right in front of him and he’ll do the slam but you’ll pretty much always have time to dodge or deflect which is nice. Phase one Isshin though he does a lunge attack with his sword that will catch you if you’re in range
@@TheRealPurity Not really, well I guess it’s not hard getting gourd seeds but you do need to kill multiple mini bosses and unlock multiple skills to max out the healing potential of your gourd so I guess that’s true.
The actual reason for the 14 flasks was for invasions. Usually invading someone halves your flasks, so in previous games when the max was an odd number, it’d round down and you’d basically get cheated out of a flask.

Excuse you, the reason why there are 14 is because when you invade/play coop your flasks are cut in half ehich gives you 7. In Dark Souls 3 there was 15 and it ended up being extremely unsatisfying to have one flask just out of the calculation.14 is a good number!
It's a cool name if you think cool sounding words make something interesting. "Estus" is latin, literally meaning warmth. It's a nice little reference to the way that the flask is you literally getting to carry a small bit of the first flame with you, to feel it as a part of your power in the game. It's a micro-expression of the way the designers really thought through the game. "Flask of Crimson tears" is a meaningless phrase someone cooked up because it sounds like some cool words. It's one of the many bits of the puzzle that makes ER for "filthy casuals" compared to the deep meaning and intent of design in the DS trilogy.
Why did he mention that you can move and drink I ds3 but not Elden ring, and you can also replenish flasks by killing enemies in Elden ring, starting to think bros just bad at Elden ring

But most of the characters in those games you play as is a nobody no one knows and unnamed dead or named tarnished. We play as wolf in sekiro who has a bit of has some dialogue
I like the ds1 flask system best tbh You don't have to find all the seeds or shards to not be fucked later, just a few humanities and you're good in that charecter forever
Elden ring: “start journey 2 for more golden seals! But I’m not done yet! You will also be given a limit of the amount of flasks you can carry free of charge!”
You cant, there 1 in NL runs 2- In UDparish 3-Blighttown 4-In dukes 5-Fair Lady 6-Darkmoon Knight 7- Anastacia However you cant upgrade your estus w/o a firekeeper thus leaving you with a +6 estus flask.
The reason it's 14 flasks in elden ring is because your flask amount for both types is cut in half when you invade or are summoned. In ds3 you had 15 total flasks, but the uneven number caused you to lose out of one flask (say if you had 10 hp and 5 fp flasks, you would have 5 healing and only 2 fp flasks in multiplayer), so in elden ring they decided that having 14 flasks as a host and 7 as a phantom or invader is more pleasing mathematically than having 15 flasks as a host and still 7 as a phantom or invader, which I agree with.
@@spazzmaticus9086 hell naw estus cancel is fucked up, if you think the decision to remove punishment from healing in pvp was a good thing, theres something wrong with you
@@Rat-O-Tim it makes the fights go on longer, you can be way more aggressive without having to worry about running away to heal at low hp, and you have to fully outplay someone in one exchange to kill them, which is much better than how defensively and boring everyone plays in elden ring. Also if you argue that as an exploit, not everyone can do estus cancel, then that is just invalid, because estus cancel is one of the easiest techs to learn in any game I've ever played. Watch a tutorial and you will be able to flawlessly estus cancel 100 times out of 100 after like 30 minutes of practice max.

you can definitely upgrade your DS1 to max before NG+ 1st fire keeper soul - undead parish 2nd fire keeper soul - blighttown 3rd fire keeper soul - Duke's archives 4th fire keeper soul - New Londo 5th fire keeper soul - Let Lautrec kill Anastacia and don't revive her 6th fire keeper soul - Kill the Fair Lady 7th fire keeper soul - Kil the Fire Keeper from Anor Londo
Flask of Crimson Tears is a fantastic name if you consider the lore behind colours in Elden Ring. Pretty sure VaatiVidya has a video on it, others might too at this point. Go watch it, it'll change your mind about the name at least
Having a character tied to leveling up flasks in DS1 adds some nice tension, especially early game. But it's also a rare enough interaction that it's not just annoying like having leveling tied to a character. That moment when you lose the firelink firekeeper is such absolute panic and it's an equal relief when you get her back (tho ofc there are other ones). It adds some connection to a character which they can use to really fuck with you but also give you that high of finding one/saving one. The fact that there's also not too many firekeeper souls but each one is very powerful is great too. Really makes it hit so much nicer the rare times you do find one, compared to the billions you find in the latter games which just makes you go "ok". Also, there's no need to max out the flask and instead it adds something to progress in NG+. Sure, PVP is one argument but you can still level to the penultimate flask level in NG so not a huge deal. The kindling mechanic is also chad af, it's an interesting decision to make about where you commit your valuable humanity that the other games don't have.
Of course you can max out the flasks in NG. Undead parish, new londo, blighttown, quelaags sister, anastacia, darkmoon lady in anor londo, dukes archives behind locked gate. Three of those you must sacrife ONE bonfire, which is only a big deal if youre new to the game. And actually the bonfire of quelaags sister is useless, and the one in anor londo should be deactivated later in the game, when it wouldnt be of much use anyway. So you only lose firelink shrine. I made a habit of using Andres bonfire as my main one
In Dark Souls 2, bro just sits back relaxs and then takes a good chug just to lose the healing right away because the enemy becomes re-aggroed when you heal
I actually really like how in ds1 summons couldn't use estus, but got healed when the host uses it. It felt a lot more balanced and actually gave healing miracles a reason to exist
Honestly, i kinda wish there was more utility with flasks. I honestly wish there was something that actually benefitting from customizing flasks to tailor gameplay. Maybe i dont want a bunch of FP flasks at all, but something more like a buff or skill buff or even a strong AOE debuff. Maybe i want to have my heals go over time but for a larger heal amount. I feel like having these so "static" actually hinders build creativity and i feel the flask of wondrous physick could have had more done for it.

you can beat the game confidently without life gems though, the estus healing is slow but its still fast enough for PvE

I got to a point in Elden ring where it was easier to dodge that pop off a heal since I always mistime them😭
smoking out of the mf estus bong -ashen one probably
I have never seen any of your videos, but off this one alone. I pray I never get you on my page again 🙏
I thought that pic of the flask with the veins was a bong lol
Meanwhile Bloodbourne: stab ye thigh.
DS2: bite a rock. And then get killed for doing so.
I always imagined estus would taste like Orange and cream soda
Yeah but it's like piss warm and has a hint of honey flavored cough medicine.
Of course you can max out the flasks in NG. Undead parish, new londo, blighttown, quelaags sister, anastacia, darkmoon lady in anor londo, dukes archives behind locked gate. Three of those you must sacrife ONE bonfire, which is only a big deal if youre new to the game. And actually the bonfire of quelaags sister is useless, and the one in anor londo should be deactivated later in the game, when it wouldnt be of much use anyway. So you only lose firelink shrine. I made a habit of using Andres bonfire as my main one
So who do you give the fire keeper souls to? Don't have a keeper to upgrade anymore
In Dark Souls 2, bro just sits back relaxs and then takes a good chug just to lose the healing right away because the enemy becomes re-aggroed when you heal
I like the crimson tears, I always assume it tastes like kool aid or something lol
Bro sounds like he can't dodge or Parry in Elden ring
I actually really like how in ds1 summons couldn't use estus, but got healed when the host uses it.
It felt a lot more balanced and actually gave healing miracles a reason to exist
Honestly, i kinda wish there was more utility with flasks. I honestly wish there was something that actually benefitting from customizing flasks to tailor gameplay. Maybe i dont want a bunch of FP flasks at all, but something more like a buff or skill buff or even a strong AOE debuff. Maybe i want to have my heals go over time but for a larger heal amount.
I feel like having these so "static" actually hinders build creativity and i feel the flask of wondrous physick could have had more done for it.
