That Abyss watchers fight was hilarious, he's so inexperienced yet managed to clear first stage before any more watchers show up missing out on one of the best fights in the series.
Its not the Hammer its just that the abyss watchers are easy when you have a weapon with high damage and stagger. Its not that asmon has a busted weapon. dark souls 3 is just busted
same thing happend with elden ring, they spam it to feel smarter than him when in reality alot of them never even played the game or have any idea what boss is next
WHy does everyone say he is overleveled? All he has done is go through all the available areas. The reason he is so overpowered is because he is using Vordt's great hammer which has great damage, frost build up, hyper armor, and great stagger potential. The only annoying thing is that he seems to have no idea how basic mechanics work and does not read item descriptions.
Super old comment, i know, but people spamming that probably haven't played the game. It's the same people that spammed "FAT ROLL" when he was rolling in the deep waters in Farron swamp, which make you fat roll regardless of your gear.
@@Ecliptor. To be fair, he was over 80% of equip load, he fat rolled regardless. Asmongold's chat is braindead, that's true, but...Asmongold has his moments. Like raw infusion. Still not as bad as what I did on my first run though.
It's a joke because he's literally as clueless as when he just started DS1. Doesn't spend more than 10 seconds to read any menus or stat descriptions, and then complains that the interface is confusing.
@@syscroz5220 not everyone plays the same. I am playing a 10 vigor build (minimum lvl vigor for deprived class) with a no-armor str character so I heavily rely on roll-dodges to get through everything. Any new enemy that is not a pushover requires learning their attack patterns so in that process, I will die quite some times before I finally beat them. everyone can play their own way, whether it makes their game harder or easier, who cares. chat is 90% braindead people.
huh, funny you say that, thats the whole sub plot to these games....man discouvering fire for the first time..now that fire fades.....lets put god like beings onto that fire.
I like how he just plays the game normally (having a good weapon, killing mobs, leveling up) and some people are jealous that it's actually working out for him. I'm pretty sure they have never played the game. Asmon was cleary unexperienced but he enjoyed playing and that's what matters when it comes to video games.
I would point out that he was level 46 for the Abyss Watchers, and the recommended level for them is 35+, so he's roughly ten levels over the minimum recommendations. I don't think it was a matter of him being over-leveled. It's not like DSP where off screen he went from like level 50 to level 100, or something. He had a great setup for the Abyss Watchers, using a heavy weapon against their ZERO poise and staggering them to death. I mean, he can't even use Vordt's Great Hammer without two-handing it, his strength is only 26, and he had a fat roll despite the fact that you can't really poise tank in Dark Souls 3.
Yeah Vordt's is absolutely bonkers against the watchers. Add in the leveling that naturally happens if you do Cathedral and the fight can be extremely forgiving.
You can absolutely poise tank in DS3. Next time you play DS3 try using the mace for the whole game. The basic mace. Boss fights, or any fight goes like this: Buff mace, two hand. L2, R1, R1, R1, L2, R1, R1, roll backwards, recover stamina. repeat until whatever is in front of you is dead. Even Nameless King gets face rolled by this setup. I just recently did a strength playthrough and was disgusted at how effective it was.
The game is easy with any of the "ultra" weapons, Vord's Great Hammer is in that category with the benefit of the most OP debuff = 110 Frostbite. Actually Great Hammers have the most Poise damage in the game and in the meantime Hyper Armor is a real thing that works. Not to mention that Frostbite works on a lot of Bosses and against any normal enemy with 2~3 hits.
Still baffles me to this day the Abyss Watchers' health pool hasn't been buffed by From. Even with an average weapon, they're so underwhelming despite how cool the fight looks.
@@eliezercohengoldberg1381 Even then, even when fought at the intended level they're still pushovers when compared to the other Lords at appropriate level.

exactly. so many morons complaining about his high damage but its because the abyss watchers just have very low health. even sl1 with +0 weapon you deal quite a huge chunk of damage to them
Yup. People are tilted cause he's steamrolling the game in a different way to theirs, so obviously they have to come up with lame excuses for him being better than most of them.
Anne Nocula he isn’t “better”. Being better would be clearing a boss with ripostes whilst naked taking minimal damage for instance. Asmon didn’t really know what he was doing lol
Sol He is literally better than most of the people malding over his easy win. A lot of them are saying things like “it took me 20 tries, 50 tries, etc” yet it only took him 2. Regardless of if he got lucky or if he was overleveled - he is, by definition, better than them. What you described is one of the “best” players, but that doesn’t mean Asmon isn’t better than many of the people that are raging at him
This is the first stream Asmon got me legitimately mad. I don't really mind him googling things, or going with a STR weapon to hyper-armor his way through. I dislike any sort of elitism that implies there is only one correct way to play Dark Souls. I'm mad because he doesn't take the time to actually learn how the game works. If you're going to break a blind playthrough, at least search how scaling and infusing works. If you're going to play off-stream, at least learn how special attacks work. And please, just take a couple of seconds to process the information shown in the menus!
Funniest thing is he thinks he's trolling chat, but its actually just a boring stream of DS3 now just face tanking everything, getting lost every 5 minutes and facerolling through the game.
I love how the chats spams overleveled every time he does something good, they are not willing to give him any credit haha, bunch of elitists. He never went out of his way to farm, its the games fault you can get such an awesome weapon for free, not the players.

The greatsword is underated. If you imbue it heavy and get the pyro buff the AR is in the 700s and it looks super cool flaming with the flaming knight gear from the DLC. It's not a great boss weapon - it's a bit slow. But still good for regular mobs.
@@nellid.3264 is it really? im new to ds3 and am playing along with asmond and I was lvl 47 when I beat pontiff 2nd try after clearing the entirety of smouldering lake? Am I like seriously underleveled?
Honestly Asmon's explanation of why he keeps his camera on the top left is actually pretty intelligent design, he seems to know a thing or two about information processing and copywriting.
@@ab-de3835 Asmon is noob, he doesn't use Perseverance, if he knew how to use it right, most of the enemies that he is facing now would be easy. Anyone knows how to roll, but it's boring for some.
@@DREIKVENONW what do you mean boring.. Like facerolling through the entire thing is fun, rolling requires skill and timing and an actual brain. And dont get your hopes up he doesnt use spells because he thinks they are for casuals, little does he know tho.

Man why add some many levels into HP if you want to wield a great-weapon. Seeing his stamina bar go down to zero with 2 swings makes me anxious. MonkaS
@@SudlaSteel playing off stream on a game your post to just play streaming ya cheating if he want to play on his own time make another guy play the game again
To be fair.. in the last video, he was level 45. An hour in to this video he's 49. He didn't level. he was probably AFK. But. The reason he killed Watchers so fast was because he went all the way to Deacons first and did get over levelled. I was about level 25 when I first beat Watchers.
Demon King is the first Boss where a player must learn. You cant just tank the hits. Fat rolling defiantly wont help. Of course Asmon, as a very experienced streamer knows this. He is doing it for effect. For the "hype". I love that he is putting points in luck to prove a point.
Can't fathom how someone so bad can be so lucky consistently. Fat rolling, not reading item descriptions, crutch with a boss weapon, no idea where he is going, mostly clueless to what is happening around him. Not to mention he actually thinks item armor means jack shit in Souls. YET HE BRAGS ALL THE TIME. I don't understand.
He's just putting on an act. He doesn't seriously think he's a "god" or any of that shit when he says it. Yes it IS very annoying, but what're gonna do.
Gaiden Shinji Are you serious, or are you 8 years old? Or is English not your native language. If not, then it means “what are”. In English, any time you see an apostrophe like that before the letters “re”, it always means “are” ... just like the word “they’re” ... “they ARE”. Get it? This was almost dumber and more clueless than anything on this whole stream ...almost. But it falls right into the point of not looking things up before you open your mouth to say anything. Try not to do that, or you’ll end up looking like an Asmon.
He's absolutely right about the camera being on the left. Just look up the "F Pattern." In Western cultures, we are taught at a young age to read from left to right, so our first instinct is to draw our attention to the left. And streaming with a facecam is all about the reactions to stuff, more so than the gameplay, because let's be honest most of us have already either played Dark Souls or have watched someone else play it.
Eh. I don't know what the devs were thinking. Abyss Watchers need like x3-x4 more health and more poise. Still, though... this is still the guy that lost to Deacons on ez mode. And nothing will take that away.
Alright you plebs listen up. Dark souls is a game of fairness. If the game allows you to have heavy armor and a big ass weapon then you are perfectly allowed to use them. Imposing your way if beating bosses 'cough' "McConnel" 'cough' is just completely ignorant. The developers made a game and gave you tools to beat the game. Furthermore Dark souls is a game that takes, takes, takes. If it even gives a little, you better take from it. Using heavy armor and a big weapons isn't "cheap", it isn't easy, you just are mad that he really didn't have 'that' hard of a time beating bosses. There's no one correct way to play the game, any way you beat it with is a correct way. Stop demeaning his accomplishment of beating these games when some of you in the first place said "He'll never get past 'insert boss here pepelaugh." You're fucking cringe, stop being 12.
lol at the people thinking he's overleveled. Stagger is a thing with big weapons. Plus people need to remember frost damage is a thing. That combined with brute forcing your way beating a boss will work. Not all bosses. But Abyss Watchers is extremely easy with the right weapons. Asmon actually had a weapon that was more to his advantage. Even if he was let's say level 20-25, it would probably still be the same outcome. Plus he didn't put points into all but one stat, strength or dex. He might be even more powerful if he had done that.
Every time asmongold gets his big head inflated with his ego I remember his fight with artorias and his run here with the nameless king. His arrogance is always his biggest defeat.
I'm curious how he spent 30+ hours getting to Catacombs if his gaming time was spent on stream? I don't really care if he's been playing off-screen but it does make you wonder how his ingame time is 30+ hours and from what I can see, the time he's had streaming the game up to this point is what, 11, 12 hours maybe? In the words of Onionbro, hmm.
I overlevel my character for dark souls III playthrough in order to make it more entertaining and it prevents me from having 3 - 5 hours of gameplay for each boss fight.
all the people saying hes "overleveled" do they not realise hes wasted a bunch of points in DEX and LUCK and probably overleveled his vigor. its a shame people spam shit when they have no idea what there saying
What the fuck is up with this elitism? He's playing the damn game how its allowing him to. "*Autistic screech* that's not how you play the game" Go tell the game director, it's not Asmons fault you can walk trough the game if you want to. Why should the player go to lengths to harden his own experience if the game doesn't do it? I had no clue which way to go at first, so went trough the Cathedral first. By the time I got to the Abyss Watchers with my + 2 Hollow Greatsword I pretty much ate the boss on my first try. There were no sign to tell me "Hey go this way now or the boss will get easy".
Honestly the game becomes way easier with heavy-hitting weapons, i remember i switched to one after Aldrich and had a really easy time with most of the game.
I agree the director of Dark Souls even said that googling the game mechanics and having players help each other is all justified and good this is why there are messages and bloodstains
Yeah, some people don't really want to go through NG+ 1 just to play all the content they missed in NG. On the other hand, I know Miyazaki expects us to google and help each other, but I have to say that DS3 questlines and NPC encounters were way too complicated and it was annoying to not be able to just play NG blindly without missing out on entire questlines. I didn't have to google that much in the previous games.
Imagine getting angry over a newcomer to the series taking the intended Cathedral -> Abyss Watchers route and doing the boss first try while you are trash at the game and spent hours on one of the easiest bosses of the game, deemed from DAY ONE to be a casual filter. Hm, really makes you think 🤔

Funniest thing is he thinks he's trolling chat, but its actually just a boring stream of DS3 now just face tanking everything, getting lost every 5 minutes and facerolling through the game.

Right, cause it's not totally jarring watching somebody stare at nothing off-screen to the left?

You're right, it's not
Take a shot every time someone said “Go back to Pontiff” while he was in Irithyll dungeon. What a bunch of backseat gamers lol
I love how the chats spams overleveled every time he does something good, they are not willing to give him any credit haha, bunch of elitists. He never went out of his way to farm, its the games fault you can get such an awesome weapon for free, not the players.
You can get the OP weapon so early too.
unknowning unknown bet you don’t get invited to party’s lmao
he wasn't overleveled for the abyss watchers, chat was just super salty that he didn't die more

Ehh he probably just had the game on
Cant believe old demon king avenged abyss watchers and made him play with his head for once
Yeah because standing in his face and spamming heavy attack is using your head 😂
The greatsword is underated. If you imbue it heavy and get the pyro buff the AR is in the 700s and it looks super cool flaming with the flaming knight gear from the DLC. It's not a great boss weapon - it's a bit slow. But still good for regular mobs.
Chat was pretty damn stupid near the end of this stream.
It’s crazy to think that the game has been holding his hand until nameless king
Nah not really. You just can't facetank nk. That's all it is

What the hell, I've never seen that kind of poise in DS3...granted that I haven't played the game since the last DLC came out.
They updated the heavy weapons to actually have poise in the middle of the swing.
Finally! It only took them like 3 years lol @@Lucas-sc6lr
@@Lucas-sc6lr I thought that was just the super armor on the heavier weapons ?
@@TheMrgreenblade heavy weapons have hyper armor on 2h attack and poise stat reduce dmg to hyper armor.
@@Lucas-sc6lr lol reminded me when the game came out poise was just a number
Honestly Asmon's explanation of why he keeps his camera on the top left is actually pretty intelligent design, he seems to know a thing or two about information processing and copywriting.
Is no one going to talk about that speech in the beginning?
That's such a short way to fight the abyss watchers
He would be even more op if he used the weapon skill which gives additional poise and dmg reduction for a few secs
I don't think he knew how to do weapon skills

walking aroudn to see i missed anything and walked right past 3 items. ive never been so frustrated watching a VOD.
Abyss watchers have very little hp. The boss itself is way to easy because he can be staggered way to much too easily.
I kinda want him to fat roll his way thru the whole game just to see all the tasty neckbeard hair in the comments
Me too, it makes me want to throw up when I see these guys talking shit. I have never seen so many dickheads in a stream.
@@DREIKVENONW I hated this guy's attitude at first but now I'm all for it

@@ab-de3835 Asmon is noob, he doesn't use Perseverance, if he knew how to use it right, most of the enemies that he is facing now would be easy. Anyone knows how to roll, but it's boring for some.
@@DREIKVENONW what do you mean boring.. Like facerolling through the entire thing is fun, rolling requires skill and timing and an actual brain. And dont get your hopes up he doesnt use spells because he thinks they are for casuals, little does he know tho.

Well how was it

i love how chat gets so upset that he's overlevelled but when he asks them if he should stop levelling, there would be a long wall of NO's. then when he stops levelling anything damage wise like strength and instead levels his luck, they still get mad. there's really no pleasing chat, huh?
Man why add some many levels into HP if you want to wield a great-weapon. Seeing his stamina bar go down to zero with 2 swings makes me anxious. MonkaS

Can you put down the timestamp when you can actually see his playtime?
How is playing the game cheating?
@@SudlaSteel playing off stream on a game your post to just play streaming ya cheating if he want to play on his own time make another guy play the game again
exactly at one hour in 1:00:00 he's hat 32 hours played
To be fair.. in the last video, he was level 45. An hour in to this video he's 49. He didn't level. he was probably AFK. But. The reason he killed Watchers so fast was because he went all the way to Deacons first and did get over levelled. I was about level 25 when I first beat Watchers.
wow that mace hit to abyss watcher it make look so easy
It's pretty easy though
Demon King is the first Boss where a player must learn. You cant just tank the hits. Fat rolling defiantly wont help. Of course Asmon, as a very experienced streamer knows this. He is doing it for effect. For the "hype". I love that he is putting points in luck to prove a point.
Can't fathom how someone so bad can be so lucky consistently.
Fat rolling, not reading item descriptions, crutch with a boss weapon, no idea where he is going, mostly clueless to what is happening around him.
Not to mention he actually thinks item armor means jack shit in Souls.
YET HE BRAGS ALL THE TIME.
I don't understand.
He's just putting on an act. He doesn't seriously think he's a "god" or any of that shit when he says it. Yes it IS very annoying, but what're gonna do.
Gaiden Shinji Are you serious, or are you 8 years old? Or is English not your native language. If not, then it means “what are”. In English, any time you see an apostrophe like that before the letters “re”, it always means “are” ... just like the word “they’re” ... “they ARE”. Get it? This was almost dumber and more clueless than anything on this whole stream ...almost. But it falls right into the point of not looking things up before you open your mouth to say anything. Try not to do that, or you’ll end up looking like an Asmon.
The bragging part is just his internet persona, c'mon.
welcome to casual souls :P
at least we'll get some satisfaction when he does that "no death run" in ds1. either he's gonna lose +$300,000, or he'll get gud.
Ty so much for uploading these
He's absolutely right about the camera being on the left. Just look up the "F Pattern." In Western cultures, we are taught at a young age to read from left to right, so our first instinct is to draw our attention to the left. And streaming with a facecam is all about the reactions to stuff, more so than the gameplay, because let's be honest most of us have already either played Dark Souls or have watched someone else play it.
Finnaly people who understand how uncomfortable it is to watch face cams on the right
I don't mind if the facecam is on either side of the stream but when I read a hentai I go stupid.
@@benhulit9059 It is the opposite my guy cams to the right draw more attention because most people are right handed.

Man Asmongold's chat is cancer incarnate. No idea how he puts up with that.
That’s what makes these vods entertaining lmao
no idea how chat puts up with him
It’s honestly wholesome, well, in a unique way so to speak.
Why do you think he takes so many breaks from streaming?
4 years later, watching all streams of DS3, I like how Asmon felt that he has to fight everything in this game
Eh. I don't know what the devs were thinking. Abyss Watchers need like x3-x4 more health and more poise.
Still, though... this is still the guy that lost to Deacons on ez mode. And nothing will take that away.
1:43:00 reminder for where I’m at as I’ll probably fall asleep and be mad as it’s late asf rn
He literally could have just walked straight to them in the beginning of the video lmao
I don’t think he realizes that all of the dead bodies on the ground, ARE THE ABYSS WATCHERS, and it’s and entire LEGION
Alright you plebs listen up. Dark souls is a game of fairness. If the game allows you to have heavy armor and a big ass weapon then you are perfectly allowed to use them. Imposing your way if beating bosses 'cough' "McConnel" 'cough' is just completely ignorant. The developers made a game and gave you tools to beat the game. Furthermore Dark souls is a game that takes, takes, takes. If it even gives a little, you better take from it. Using heavy armor and a big weapons isn't "cheap", it isn't easy, you just are mad that he really didn't have 'that' hard of a time beating bosses. There's no one correct way to play the game, any way you beat it with is a correct way. Stop demeaning his accomplishment of beating these games when some of you in the first place said "He'll never get past 'insert boss here pepelaugh." You're fucking cringe, stop being 12.
100% agreed
To be fair, it's not his fault his chara getting overpowered. He can't even dodge properly, it's just luck that led him into a good chara build
lol at the people thinking he's overleveled. Stagger is a thing with big weapons. Plus people need to remember frost damage is a thing. That combined with brute forcing your way beating a boss will work. Not all bosses. But Abyss Watchers is extremely easy with the right weapons. Asmon actually had a weapon that was more to his advantage. Even if he was let's say level 20-25, it would probably still be the same outcome. Plus he didn't put points into all but one stat, strength or dex. He might be even more powerful if he had done that.
Watchers need poise.
Thanks for the uploads. can you reverse the playlist order so the 1st videos are on top of the playlist
He's definitely getting better over time. I think some folks are giving him too much of a hard time.
Aamon reinforces my love for not only STR builds, but hammers as well. Vordt's hammer is fucken broken
"All i had to do was to farm souls for 7 hours then i could easy kill the boss, you told it was hard lol."
i fucking love Asmon
Coming from WoW though...
your chat is so salty when your build doesnt struggle like they did
Why people say that he is overleveled if he just played naturally and didnt stop to grind souls? lol some game comunnities are hard to entertain
He's triggering us on purpose
ニクラス thanks for the reminder captn obvious
@@chadlad5646 the virgin helper vs the chad not understanding not everyone gets it
I mean its working
Obviously. He does that all the time.
Every time asmongold gets his big head inflated with his ego I remember his fight with artorias and his run here with the nameless king. His arrogance is always his biggest defeat.
I'm curious how he spent 30+ hours getting to Catacombs if his gaming time was spent on stream? I don't really care if he's been playing off-screen but it does make you wonder how his ingame time is 30+ hours and from what I can see, the time he's had streaming the game up to this point is what, 11, 12 hours maybe? In the words of Onionbro, hmm.
he may have not turned it off after the stream the game ticks away regardless. A lot of my playtime is an idle character
when i wanna progress i watch FightinCowboy walkthrough. when i die a lot i come here to feel better.
I overlevel my character for dark souls III playthrough in order to make it more entertaining and it prevents me from having 3 - 5 hours of gameplay for each boss fight.
3:55 that scream though
all the people saying hes "overleveled" do they not realise hes wasted a bunch of points in DEX and LUCK and probably overleveled his vigor. its a shame people spam shit when they have no idea what there saying
What the fuck is up with this elitism? He's playing the damn game how its allowing him to. "*Autistic screech* that's not how you play the game"
Go tell the game director, it's not Asmons fault you can walk trough the game if you want to.
Why should the player go to lengths to harden his own experience if the game doesn't do it? I had no clue which way to go at first, so went trough the Cathedral first. By the time I got to the Abyss Watchers with my + 2 Hollow Greatsword I pretty much ate the boss on my first try. There were no sign to tell me "Hey go this way now or the boss will get easy".
Honestly the game becomes way easier with heavy-hitting weapons, i remember i switched to one after Aldrich and had a really easy time with most of the game.
omg that moment when he banned all the "anti advice spam" 12 year olds….. feels good
Did he ever do the ringed city
Still, so many people butthurt about Asmon's playstyle. Not sure if I enjoy more the VOD or the comments below it.
Vordt Hammer is so fucking BS LMAO
Holy shit, I feel better realizing he spent 32 hours getting to the catacombs :O
he did not ! what the fuck are you talking about !
i beat the game in 32 hours 😭😭
Holy shit, Asmon's chat is god awful. Let the man play his damned game.
"GOOGLED" Googling darksouls wont make u good at it, it'll just stop you from ruining your game by throwing something away or killing someone
I agree the director of Dark Souls even said that googling the game mechanics and having players help each other is all justified and good
this is why there are messages and bloodstains
Yeah, some people don't really want to go through NG+ 1 just to play all the content they missed in NG. On the other hand, I know Miyazaki expects us to google and help each other, but I have to say that DS3 questlines and NPC encounters were way too complicated and it was annoying to not be able to just play NG blindly without missing out on entire questlines. I didn't have to google that much in the previous games.
People are so salty, why would he have to google/ yahoo a bonfire that is literaly in plain sight?
You do realize twitch chat exists to troll the streamer, right?
Imagine getting angry over a newcomer to the series taking the intended Cathedral -> Abyss Watchers route and doing the boss first try while you are trash at the game and spent hours on one of the easiest bosses of the game, deemed from DAY ONE to be a casual filter. Hm, really makes you think 🤔
