Psychotic Break From The Saltiest Runback in the Souls Series

  • This is what, the 3rd stream we've attempted Iron Passage? Easily my most hated area in Fromsoft's franchise history. Runbacks are fun in theory, but I think they aren't fun to optimize through repetition like a well designed boss. It just is reduced to you knowing how to aggro one enemy at a time. They would need some sick enemy AI, I think sekiro could do this as most enemies are interesting to learn like a boss on their own but sadly nothing in sekiro can prevent Wolf from sprinting faster than sonic to every boss encounter. Kind of makes challenge runs of it lame imo.

    The Double Blind playthrough is simply Sweed and I, having never played Dark Souls II nor wanting to, being coerced by chat into playing it by calling us fake soulsbourne gamers. We decided a Co-op run might actually be decent, however we had no idea we were signing up for over 3 months of consecutive DS2 streams.

    Funnily enough, the use of Ludwig's Boss Theme here is honestly better than the actual in-game Boss Theme for Blue Smelter Demon...

    Seriously the most rage inducing shit of this whole playthrough. The run to the boss is shit, boss 2 shots you, its range is unpredictable, it fuckin burns and hurts you just being close to it, and its a paid-for re-skinned shit ass boss from the main game.
    Your editing is fantastic as always, I laughed my ass off the whole way through. Only critique is there was too much anime for me. Its fun to re-live this run again.

    I recently did this on my no-healing play-through on an under-levelled character. Oh and on this play-through I need to kill each enemy in the game at least once. Needless to say clearing all of the enemies in this area, the run-back and dealing with the DoT (and the boss in general) without being allowed to heal was pretty soul crushing.
    There were many bad moments in the play-through but this was definitely among the worst.
    I got it in the end though.

      @@BBQcheese If you wanna try, I highly suggest always having an arrow or two, along with any projectile to bait enemies. While there's no need to fully level up ADP, having a handful of points would help. And most importantly: you don't have to do the optional areas. Wanna do them with NPCs? Go for it, otherwise it's not a good time investment.
      I believe the OG DS2 with the 3 DLC is the better experience since there isn't an insane amount of ganks, but if you have Scholar, I won't ask you to spend money on DS2. PVP it's the best part, though.

    You guys thought Eleum Loyce was the pinnacle of the salt saga? I lied 😈
    Also damn I still cannot do drunk math holy shit. Also, the irony of complaining about bosses with positional based followups is not lost on me, however this was before Elden Ring and this boss is A) fucking dogshit and slower than molasses in Janurary and B) the attack has essentially no telegraph and come out 360 degrees that he does as a combo ender 80% of the entire fight since he spams this combo. Pretty cool to see they were playing with ideas of position based attacks and combo flowcharting all the way back in ds3, BB, and even ds2.
