Let me know what y'all think about the editing and the length of this video, I tried my best to keep it short but there isn't another minute I wanted to cut out of this MASTERPIECE Also, be warned, the Christmas Special will be OVER 9 HOURS LONG
The funniest thing for me, I believe it was the first 4 golems that I killed, legitimately dropped their weapons 😂 I thought that they were just guaranteed to drop their weapons every time haha
When i first got to playing elden ring ginos videos were the first I saw. I could not believe how incredibly “lucky” this guy was. It was so tilting to farm for something lololol
Hey Gino, u said u try to read every single comment so I just wanna say I’ve clocked in 1100 hours in elden ring and the vast majority of those hours are inspired by the dozens of videos you’ve put out. Your content is a goldmine on UA-cam imo, and I really hope you continue putting out stuff. Thanks!
hes inspired well over 4 runs for me, i did the claws only cause he wont and its funny, i did a strength leveling only run, and a few others and he just makes everything look so much easier than it is. Theres a few bosses i really struggled with using certain weapons that he would use perfectly. Gino is just a unit
whats that mod do again? looking to mod the game and play it on pc after plating it on PS4 when it released. really want to enjoy the mod potential it has.
I’ve seen so many of your videos. I have over 100 hours on Elden Ring and not once have I beat Radagon and Elden Beast. Your muscle memory and dedication is amazing. Love the videos man!
@@Pomelohhhcongrats man! I still remember when I first beat Radagon and Elden Beast, I felt like a god lol. I’m on my 11th playthrough now and still love this game
@John_Cinna yeah man. I’ve got a few characters with different builds to mess around with. Maliketh took me 3 days so hopefully I can do the other 2 playthroughs quickly
Watchdog Staff is a very good utility weapon, since the Skill has no int requirement and doesnt scale with Int. Very useful range option for Strength builds.
@@Amoeby C is not that much higher than D, you will get optimal damage on quality build rather than pure strength. Because projectiles are slow, have poor tracking and don't aim for the head for some reason
@multifleks with 60 str and 15 dex you have basically the same amount of damage as with 40/40. However, you also get some extra levels with str build. I hope that you didn't forget that initially we were talking about the staff in the context of its utility with a str build and not about what build to use with this particular weapon.
I used a duel wielding colossal weapon build on my first run. The ghizas wheel in the left hand and fallingstar beast jaw in the right. Jump attacks till stance break then ghizas wheel ash of war for bleed. Used the fallingstar ash of war for ranged damage. Blew through the game and it was surprisingly busted in PvP as well. Still my favorite build 6 runs later.
According to Miyazaki, he want's to recreate the feeling of when he was a kid playing rpgs where didn't understand anything but was amazed by the wonder of it all As such worrying about the lore too much is a bit silly, it's not the focus. You're not expected to get it
Oh the editing was excellent! I was just marveling at it and then I saw you wanted feedback? Length is fine too, since we are also accounting for DCL and all. I typically multitask the 2-4 hour range videos while working or doing chores. To give some specific praise on the editing, your tempo when you pop a bunch of dungbeetles in succession is very satisfying and timed like it is tracking a metronome. Also, the way you capture not just the bosses and items, but also some notable things you say along the way is cool. A few spots in particular where you just highlighted an interesting comment in the chat as well as your response when you could have just skipped over them. I like those. And lastly, I feel like you showed a good amount of deaths. I am just as entertained when you wiff and get two-shotted as when you do a boss no hit. It’s cool to see that players at your level make mistakes. Makes you seem more relatable. On another note, I like how you really showcased all these cool weapons, even though you could have just maxed out one or two for the mid to end game. Best of wishes! I hope the editing was profitable for you.
Thank you for the video gino! These videos are great to put on as background noise that I can tune into and still be interested. Your voice is very calming and you're funny and I love the vids. keep it up man!! :D
Watch Dog Staff is actually a fun weapon for PvP. Far from the best, but fun. The magic has good tracking and is slow meaning casting and running along side it gets you to the opponent about the same time as the magic. This can lead to some roll catch shenanigans. They dodge the magic so you try and catch them with the staff, they tank the magic to doge the swing, etc. During invasion it lets you focus two opponents send the slow magic at one to keep them occupied while you chase the other. It's not the strongest but it's an interesting and surprisingly flexible weapon. Having tracking projectiles on a colossal opens a lot of unique opportunities and is a unique style I haven't seen other weapons have.
eruption is my favorite ash of war, and axe of godfrey is by miles my favorite weapon so this run was awesome to see them both getting plenty of love and praise! amazing run as ever!!
Are you planning on doing a run with every weapon class? If so, I look forward to the spears video. I feel like spears get overlooked a lot; there arent enough games that have spears as an option
The Watchdog Staff really isn’t as mid as I first considered it to be once I learned how stance pressure works. I could of course just use throwing knives to do the same thing faster and I usually do but IT HAS A USE CASE. Kind of.
i might be looking too far into the future, but i think it would be interesting doing schools of magic runs? like just draconic or just golden order etc, instead of one for sorceries and one for incants
38:36 I totally agree, and it’s what the revenants are supposed to be. you can hear their screech and think “oh god no not one of these” and that’s a totally crucial part to the souls genre
I always interpreted Godrick's little spiel as a quote, a story told to him that he repeats because it affirms his golden lineage. His interpretation of this story could be that Leyndell is the "home" in question, meanwhile if the story originated with Marika the "home" mentioned could very well be the Shaman Village and he would be none the wiser.
There’s a follow up to Trolls Roar. It’s known for being slow, and I think generally regarded as not great, but it has a lot of damage. I could be wrong but I didn’t see you use it!
Watching the devonia fight made me realize there may be an even more complete no hit run. Not just every boss, but all enemy types as well. Needing to no hit some of the minor dungeons in the game would be hard as hell
2:14:23 there is no lord of blood buff icon under the health bar, all that damage was actually just the wheel going nuts that actually blows me away at how much damage it did
hi gino could you possibly make a video explaining your best tips on game knowledge about what weapons to use with which builds and damage types against enemies? i would love to listen
Mohg not being immune to bleed is the same energy as The Rotten from Dark Souls 2. He can be both poisoned AND is weak to fire. His room is filled with fire and he's the boss of the biggest poison area.
4:14:48 I recall they slightly nerfed her hyper armor, you used to need a dual greathammer jump L1 or colossal hammer jump R2 to stun her, now all coloassal weapons and swords can stun her with the jump R2.
I just had a thought after watching you defeat Commander Niall, It'd be cool if the veteran's prosthesis was remade to behave like the dryleaf arts that focuses on electric kicks instead of just being a punching weapon
I don't see how that is insane tbh. I get his old videos will also get comments, but focusing on just this video, under 300 comments is pretty easy to get through, especially since most are short.
@@Gandhi_Physiquethat is insane for his channel he averages millions of views per video, this one is a recent one and already has 300 comments if every comment is 100 characters he needs to read 30000 characters, if he reads 3000 characters per minute its 10 minutes reading just a recent video
Is 10 minutes a long time? Also, reasoning through character count is fallacious. It has already been shown people don't read per character, some even skip words or see sentences instead of words. Really though, it isn't that much reading lol.
@Gandhi_Physique yeah I do think 10 minutes of reading for one video that had 50k views when most of his videos get a lot more would be a lot. I don't have the time to see how much comments he averages per videos. But I would think it would be 1-2 hours of reading every day, of course I could be wrong, but is seems plausible to me. It is a lot of comments, Try it yourself reading all of this video comments.
Already did when it was under 300. I do that on some vids in the low hundreds, but it also isn't my "job" of course. Most comments say basically the same things, many are skimmable pretty easily. I don't actually know how many he gets though. I'm sure there are times it does take a while as well. Obviously, if a vid got 4000 comments then that would get a bit more of a time sink.
Gino, idk if you’ve heard but Bloodborne’s PC port is getting pretty consistent frames (60-100). Would you be up to do a no-hit/challenge run? I know you said before that performance issue is a big factor in why you don’t rank it very high, would love to hear your opinion on it with better frames!
Let me know what y'all think about the editing and the length of this video, I tried my best to keep it short but there isn't another minute I wanted to cut out of this MASTERPIECE
Also, be warned, the Christmas Special will be OVER 9 HOURS LONG
the longer the better , i like Ginomachino Radio
the election of persona music is perfect machino
I like the videos longer anyway
I like your videos no matter how long but I am just waiting for claws only
It's basically just the Full Stream, excluding the parts of no renown.. exactly what I desired.
If Gino truly reads every comment like he says he does, then he should prove it by cosplaying as Miquella on stream.
I think I'd rather see a different cosplay from him lmao
Nah fire keeper
@@skiburc2252what do you mean by that 🤨
@alexandertaddy4639 I'm just saying a different one not any in particular

Other streamers : Using their videos to promote something coming up in their streams.
Gino : promote his dec. 16th streams and post the video dec 17th
He knows we watched it anyway
Isn't this a stream? So he published his next stream on the previous stream i think
Saying you're gonna reenter gideon, and then hearing "I knew youd come" is a wild streamer moment
Its almost like I'm all knowing😉
he actually played convergence mod on december 16th

Gino since you read every comment. My mum walked passed me watching this and said you are a cutey patootie
Gino might actually be the only person on UA-cam that can get me to sit down and watch an entire 5 hour video in one sitting.
Watchdog Staff is a very good utility weapon, since the Skill has no int requirement and doesnt scale with Int. Very useful range option for Strength builds.
It would be great if the tracking was better
1) it's a quality weapon
2) just use greatbows I guess
@multifleks 1) the strength scaling is way higher
2) why if you have this option?
@@Amoeby C is not that much higher than D, you will get optimal damage on quality build rather than pure strength. Because projectiles are slow, have poor tracking and don't aim for the head for some reason

What's up everybody, today we're going to UNGA BUNGA our way through the game, no boss is fucking safe
0:12 Mohg doing the count down for you like he's the commerical Owl is outrageous work😭
Gyza's wheel on Mogh was just insane. My jaw dropped on livestrem
I used a duel wielding colossal weapon build on my first run. The ghizas wheel in the left hand and fallingstar beast jaw in the right. Jump attacks till stance break then ghizas wheel ash of war for bleed. Used the fallingstar ash of war for ranged damage. Blew through the game and it was surprisingly busted in PvP as well. Still my favorite build 6 runs later.
Gino, using a pure magic ash of war on a target that has 80% magic res "Wow this isn't very good"
He was talking about the poise damage and the fact it didn’t track to the face lol
12:45 dude thought he cooked with this comment
He ended up getting cooked.
"Aint reading all that, sorry that happened, thanks" lol
According to Miyazaki, he want's to recreate the feeling of when he was a kid playing rpgs where didn't understand anything but was amazed by the wonder of it all

@@superguy911a story you can’t understand isn’t a good story.

Oh the editing was excellent! I was just marveling at it and then I saw you wanted feedback? Length is fine too, since we are also accounting for DCL and all. I typically multitask the 2-4 hour range videos while working or doing chores.
To give some specific praise on the editing, your tempo when you pop a bunch of dungbeetles in succession is very satisfying and timed like it is tracking a metronome.

In the fight with the spiritcaller snail Gino asks himself "omg dude, how did I bonk". The answer seems obvious to me.
Thank you for the video gino! These videos are great to put on as background noise that I can tune into and still be interested. Your voice is very calming and you're funny and I love the vids. keep it up man!! :D
"Hey honey, you wanna watch a couple of Lord of the Rings movies back to back?"
"I have a better idea"

oh boy! another gino vid to watch a billion times as my ideal background noise while gaming!
fun fact golem halberd is one of the heaviest weapons in Elden ring
Still much lighter than your mother.
it's still too small, fromsoft should make it the exact same size as the golems themselves get
@@superguy911lore accurate tarnished
eruption is my favorite ash of war, and axe of godfrey is by miles my favorite weapon so this run was awesome to see them both getting plenty of love and praise! amazing run as ever!!
Casual players farm normal enemies to level up and go after bosses.
Gino farms bosses to level up and go after his real enemies.
This was such a fun run. I love the colossal weapons and you gave me some new ideas to try, thanks GinoMachino!
There is a cool interaction with Eruption and Black Flame Armament. If you buff a weapon with it, the buff applies to the lava on the ground
Now I can send this video to anyone who says "Other builds are broken, str is hard mode". Thanks
dex is hard mode tbh

my brother in christ, that is a magic dragon.
it wasn't about the damege, it was about the projectiles not attacking the head eventho he was locked onto it.

Id love to see more DS3 Content, the series where you beat the game with only one weapon was so much fun
wait, is godrick's death quote talking about the shaman village?????
I always assumed he was talking about Leyndell but the lore says he fled from there 🤔 you might be right
no, its leyndell
