Still one of the only enemies in the entire game that can wombo combo me to death immediately Not to mention the ones that can somehow pick shit up and throw it with their sword feet

It's crazy how in this game you can miss 50% of an entire area if you're just going straight on the main path. Stormveil has so much stuff hidden on rooftops and jump points (Raya Lucaria too)
For someone like Lobos who's played 1000s of hours of previous Souls games, Elden Ring having so much DS3 in it definitely handicaps him here. He rarely goes out of his way to look around areas because he instinctively treats the levels like linear DS3 levels. It's very interesting to compare to someone like me, who had put 20 hours into the game before I even went into Stormveil Castle lmao
@@Kornflayx89 I'm currently 105hrs into my first playthrough and haven't even made it to Leyndell yet lol. Currently exploring Mt. Gelmir. In conclusion: I will never beat this game.
Tbh there are also hundreds of places which are well hidden but have nothing interesting whatsoever, disappointingly. Hopefully it will be improved in the next game.
Lobos, thank you for saving me the many remote controls I would break out of frustration playing these games. Your ability to stay cool when facing difficult mechanics is a breath of fresh air. You have earned my sub many times over. -Phedge
i think anyone can beat elden ring without raging, there are so many ways to get very powerful without facing much of a challenge if you explore and take it slow
@@arseniykorchevskiy1564 this is true but without knowing where to look for the good items ignorant players would be roaming around for literally days (in real time) Hoping to stumble upon actually good items amongst all the garbage the game has to offer. 0/10
@@li6706 you can beat the game easily with pretty much any of the starting weapons so the only thing you would need to look for to get overpowered is smithing stones, which you can get tons of very easily from any mine. Even if you can’t find the mines, they are usually pretty obviously marked on the map (dark red holes) but there’s no shame just looking up their locations if you still can’t find them. If you really wanted to you could literally just leave all the other items on the ground and only focus on doing the bosses, if you find that to be the fun part of the game beyond the exploration. Even then, if you are struggling, I recommend checking out vaatividya’s most recent video where he explains multiple super painless ways to get overpowered early on, for example as long as you have a bleed weapon(which you can start with if you want), you can kill this enemy that is chained and cannot attack that drops 65k souls, which is an enormous amount early on, and it’s really not too difficult to get there as long as you know how to use sprint on the horse.
Hey lobos I appreciate you posting these videos from your livestream to youtube. With working long hours and school starting soon I don't ever have time to catch you on Twitch. So it's nice to be able to watch still. Keep up the greatness
My favorite item so far is the assassin talisman that heals when you crit. Such a rewarding item for when you want to work your way through the castle 1 backstab at a time
my final build on my main character in Bb basically just used runes to turn Visceral attacks into endless play-+3 QSB, and +300 health every visceral attack means you basically never run out of ammo/healing and you still get a third slot for more echoes/items/etc. Combined with the rally system, it's even more effective than high level Absorb Health enchants in skyrim
Honestly that could make the darkness spell pretty fun since it makes enemy ai kinda stupid and backstabbable. Less good for stealth but amazing for funny bs in dangerous situationd.
@@lunk2569 yeah. I remember I used that to get by the ballista in Stormveil. They missed the first shot and then it was roll, hit, repeat until I was in the clear. Just remember thinking, wtf was the point of that.
This is now my 4th souls game I've had the pleasure to play blind on launch day. It's been a BLAST, and I love taking a break from my playthrough to catch up on yours :)
I couldn't stop thinking the same... for instance, he has a very linear mindset sometimes when these games often reward back-tracking and revisiting locations. However.. his familiarity woth Fromsoft's AI tendencies definitely helps him in confronting some of these enemies.
Are you kidding, mushrooms are useful! You give them to the shopkeep to get a 50% discount on your next purchase or upgrade. Wait, wrong fromsoft game.
@@bencegergohocz5988 I can kinda forgive that, Torrent definitely makes some things almost too easy, BUT the fact that he still hasn't figured out he can break the glowing skulls for a rune is what's driving me nuts.
"supposed to" lmao no...you can do whatever you want, telling people what they are "supposed" to be doing in an open world game is like, antithetical to their point
"a trap" is a bit excessive, it's definitel hard to do if you don't explore first, but as long as you figure out the various mechanics(or in lobos's case, are stubborn as hell and get some lucky rng) you can do it without issues. the other dungeons? yeah no, those ones will punish you quite a it more if you don't explore first.
Hey Loobert. Game is a blast, super intrigued by how different our playthroughs have been because of the open world and options! Seems like it's gonna be a doozy for many runs to come!
4:53:50 Praise the moon! Lobos broke a glowing skull by rolling into it! I hope that registered in his brain and now he'll break all of them for loot. Edit: He finally had a realization about them at 4:58:50. That was great.
When does he realize the grave symbol means he can summon the ashes? The one time I've seen him do it so far he thought it was because there was a dog *facepalm*
@@justinwoods535 I think somewhere in Part 3 he kind of realized that, but not really. Like someone in chat might have suggested that after someone else asked what that grave symbol meant? So hopefully he remembers that.
@@justinwoods535 Also you know what really grinds my gears? He hasn't realized that skeletons can be prevented from resurrecting if you just break their bones apart after you "kill" them. Instead he just watches as they resurrect. You'd think he be a little more inquisitive with the idea of resurrecting skeletons.
It's nice watching this after I did my playthrough and seeing what I did different. For instance I went around and over the rooftop to get to Godrick. Didn't even know the warrior woman was inside one of the rooms there.
Watching this first playthrough after having seen several of lobos' future runs, it's super funny to see how little he's utilizing jump when later on he makes so much use of his beloved jump attacks.
I recommend Saint Riot for both more lore stuff and more funnies too! Vaati, Looby, EpicNameBro and Saint are all really exceptional Souls-streamers :D
I love watching Lobos experience this game blind. I was getting very frustrated with him totally NOT figuring out how summons work. Like when he reads the tutorial about it showing an icon on the left side of the screen when you can summon, and then moments later he ponders over what that icon on the left side of the screen could possibly mean lol. Or at 1:49:34 "Nope, can't use those Lone Wolf Ashes" and then immediately walks out the door where he could now use them, but doesn't realize.
I like how I'm 2 hours into the second part and he just acknowledged horse double jump but didn't yet try it.. and he never broke one of the glowing eyes skulls yet either.
Love how you can just basically b-line it to the castle from the beginning kinda like bos, or clear out LImgrave and two islands like I did, then go to the castle
Yeah really loving the open world variant of this one. In former Soulsborne titles if you backtracked to grind it kinda felt like a chore before returning to the mostly linear progression. Now when I hit a brick wall and am not skilled enough to get past it (at least yet), I head back to get more levels and gear... and instead of grinding it feels like an incredible adventure.
I've been amazed by the amount of streamers that make a beeline straight for the castle and instantly grind themselves up against Margit. I literally tried to squeeze out every bit of exploration I could before attempting Margit again and only returned when I ran into brick walls every other direction.
The level design is absolutely fromsoftware godlike tier. Every room is like a different puzzle with each different unique bosses and enemies every time. This is unlike anything I've ever seen is crazy. Edit: Ok I was still freaking out when I wrote that but I still believe the levels are great. I'm still not all the way through but I still have enjoyed larger areas like Stormvail castle. The open world areas are also still awesome and even the chalice dungeons are still fun, only mishap is just the repeated bosses. I still enjoy them a ton I just generally dislike when games do that. Still no doubt this is the greatest game of the year in my eyes at least.
It makes every other From Software game, and by extension every other modern game I have played, look vastly inferior, like VASTLY. I'm honestly kind of shocked at what I'm playing. I just crossed the gate after Stormveil Castle and my jaw straight up dropped to the floor. Playing this game 100% blind has been my best gaming experience ever.
My one complaint so far is that at least early on leveling STR/DEX for damage is completely pointless, scaling is garbage on every weapon I have. Vigor/Endurance are the god stats, rest is just for requirements. This may change late game but so far it's looking lopsided.
@@steel5897 I thought I might have been the only one thinking that. Maybe its to prevent players from rushing too fast? I'm really thorough and not noticing good scaling as well.
Im here(2:23:05) Lobos like you asked, took me a bit to find the boss battle across your videos. Lol I beat Margit with a lvl 1 straight sword and went into the castle and when i saw the dragon head arm and i was like... yeah i need to farm now. XD That tunnel filled with materials you mentioned on stream to upgrade weapons will help a bunch. Thank you!
I'm guessing he forgot the blacksmith at the round-table he was at. Graft without calling for that npc summon or his spirits so far as of 2:30:59 wonder if he is going to try either?
So pleased to have found your channel again. You were a huge help (and hugely entertaining) on Nioh 2.. and then for some reason your channel disappeared from my feed. I was desperately trying to find your channel for my Sekiro play through. Glad to have found you again for this. It’s funny to watch souls vets playing this. Like many of the souls veterans, your souls experience is a huge detriment to the open world RPG nature of this game and the approach to play that encourages. But watching you destroy certain bosses at such a low level is a sight to behold... (i'm level 60, still struggle with the tree guys :D) But I’ve lost count of the amount of times I thought… if you just got on the horse and double jumped. Or the amount of times where I thought open the map, they told you were to go... or.. look at the map, it's obvious where the map fragments are. Or the amount of times where I thought... see... if you'd actually explored a little in the starter zone instead of pushing forward... (then you'd know what the Wonderous Physik is and how powerful it is ) :D Frustratingly enjoyable watch, in the best possible way, nice amount of binge watching ahead of me with these while I work… :) Hats off to From Software, they have done an incredible job of blending the two game types, and their approach to open world design is incredible.
Honestly that Godrick fight, was a sign of you weren't ready to face him, but.. It shows how well you you analysed this fight, despite it being lengthier you nailed it down. Most would've likely upgraded their stuff or explore further. so this was interesting approach to see.
Man, the tree sentinel is such a good tutorial boss, for casual/new players it teaches that elden ring is an open world and you can ignore it, and those who are stubborn will learn a lot for example: some bosses punish magic builds hard, roll catching is a thing and parry. Haven't played fromsoft games for a while and it definitely cleaned a lot of rust when I was a peasant with a club XD
Seems lobos noticed the same bug I did, the game has action queueing, so if you attack while in an animation you automatically attack after the animation. However changing stance is y + attack button, so if you try to change to dual wield or single handed in an animation it ignores that and locks you into an attack instead.
That was a huge problem for me while fighting Margit haha. Wanted to switch to 1 hand for a guard counter during one specific attack but that shit kept happening instead
The issue is people are pressing them at the same time. Just press Y (or just hold it) first, and then a split second later should you press attack. You just need to have Y held or pressed first. It’ll work every time without issue.
With Elden Ring now a year since release watchin Lobos 1st playthrough vids for first time seein that jump be done was cool. 2:50 never knew you could get in that way lol
Lobos neglecting his horse is hilarious.. he keeps forgetting he can access way more verticality in the open world with the horsie. Also once getting used to mounted combat, it’s super OP.. watching him trying to figure out how to get down into liurnia of the lakes was kinda painful to watch 😂 also not trying out in the horse in the poison swamp
I can't believe how early on you beat Margit and Godric. I went and explored when I got frustrated with Margit and came back at level 35. Well done Lobos. I've been looking forward to watching you play Elden Ring!
@@red0death1 Yeah, I just got lost exploring and by the time I decided to go back I realized I had leveled up quite a bit. Good news is that I beat Margit and Godric within 2 of each other. So it worked out. Lol
@@red0death1 it's an open world game and you can play it however the hell you want? Don't shame people for how they choose to approach the game. It's gross.
@@fjorgyn7438 LOL saying someone can procrastinate is not shamming Fjogyn especially in this context. Did you not see the reply? Did you not see this was 3 weeks ago? The only thing shameful is i wasted a min typing out this reply. I'm hopeful English isn't your first language =P.
@@red0death1 it clearly isn't yours judging by your shit spelling and grammar. I don't care how long ago it was, my comment still stands. Just because you're feigning ignorance to what I'm saying doesn't make what I'm saying any less true.
1:39:09 A big part of the enjoyment I found in mastering Dark Souls 1 was learning to be hyper-aggressive by using hitboxes like this and thinking about poise breakpoints. The easiest was Super Smough, you'd just keep attacking under all his stuff without even needing to time your ducking motions etc. if you were angled right, and you'd ideally keep your poise break for when he readies to jump up. Can even overhead swat him out the sky on his descent, very easy with force/wog/dragon roar, casting also being great cause you can keep attacking while regenning stamina in dks1. I've noticed this stuff happening a lot more incidentally in Elden Ring, especially with the giant stagger crit combos, jumps are also great. I find a lot of Elden Ring can be very easy, but as someone who likes to try 0 blocking and speeding through the 1st 40-80% of a fight after analyzing a boss, I see a high skill expression with some of these fights. It also has fun tactical expression, been loving the Gravitas Ashes of War on my Brick Hammer, such incredibly sick combos when the GET OVER HERE effect applies, especially if it's vs. multiple enemies that group up for your sweeps, all except one whiffing their hit cause the succ AoE reaches very nicely, the odd one out hit directly with the weapon as a punish, it seems to build stagger quite a lot. Also a great anti-flying enemy move for the otherwise poorly suited Brick Hammer. 2:10:28 Like these... Hit-trading stat-check builds aren't my favorite, but clean hyper-aggressive styles that require making quick adaptations and being precise are THE BEST. These games started with Dark Souls 1 for me, the game's identity was basically 1 hit punish and back off, it's such an amazing feeling when you can break free from that to this extent without it feeling like cheese. (Cheese is fun from time to time too though, slightly timed Zwei 2hr2 stun-locking Taurus with those double hits is a classic) 3:06:03 This is something I've learned to accept and it's a whole lot more fun. 1st run can be mostly casual with a few challenges when you really feel it. Exploring and taking it easy is fun in it's own right, so why not learn more passively as you do that so you've got some background when you do go hardcore? I've even tried hit-trading strats here and there, especially if it's a boss I already fought anyway, interesting to learn how approaches pan out. With all the Ashes of War etc., there's SO much to try.
Man, it's a whole other experience seeing Lobos tackle a boss for the first time compared to how I do it. I'm just trying to kill the damn thing, but Lobos is already planning for his Level One Fists-Only playthrough down the line. Kinda surreal.
Your mindset is how most people fight bosses, they don't really bother to learn the fight, just hoping to kill it and get it over with, which I don't understand, it's imo a disservice to the developers for making these great bossfights. Whenever I enter a boss arena I literally just dodge and see everything the boss can do, then I beat him to the 2nd phase and observe him again, it's best to learn the bossfights as early as possible cause I know ima be fighting them plenty of times
@@BBBerti I mean, I do learn the fight and appreciate the effort and talent in making the boss, I just don’t do that in the first playthrough. My first time, I want to experience as much of the game as possible, and the boss is my obstacle to that goal. I love the fights (when they’re well-executed), but I don’t want to spend hours learning all of the boss’ movesets when I could be exploring the world, progressing NPC quests, gaining new equipment/spells, or learning more about the lore and story.
@@BBBerti i feel the best is in the middle: completel dissecting a boss's moveset in your first try without actuall absorbing the struggle and the atmosphere is ust as much of a disservice to the fight imho, you should fight to win but also see what the game has to offer, but not force it into a literal hyper-technicaly showcase worthy of a powerpoint presentation.
Mergit seems way outta my league after beating the tree sentinel, I spent 10 hours exploring Limgrave, getting to the bottom of the map, there's an elevator that takes you down into a place I won't spoil, spent another hour down there, came back up, still couldn't beat mergit. He beats mergit and proceeds into the castle immediately. I love it, this game is completely buckwild and different from anything I've ever played. Utterly unique and I feel western devs are gonna attempt this for years and never attain it.
i didnt even know about the path to mergit until i was watching lobos' video and i was already over 30 hours into my game. i went just about every other direction, even around and way past stormfall. just caught up with the whole castle part and did 10 more hours of exploring to avoid spoilers, and now im back to continue his series. lol this game is a great time sink.
Happy to see I'm not the only one who had those struggles of fighting that damn sentinel. It just looked like me playing and I felt every death. ESPECIALLY The terrain messing my attempts. And that dastardly shoulder charge.
Going straight to Stormveil i can understand it's the very first legacy dungeon after all, but straight to Liurnia ? damn xD his exploratory senses are as good as ever.
Especially in the open world with how Torrent aids in traversal, seems really weird. Like that bridge he wanted to jump to, with Torrent that wouldn't have been an issue at all.
I actually have to drop Lobos's playthrough if he doesn't do ANY exploring of limgrave/ exploring in general... I am about 20 hours into the game and just got to Godrick, but did just about everything there is to do in limgrave. Does he get better in this regard? Seems pointless to play ER like your standard soulsborne game, it defeats the whole purpose of it being open world. In the first 2 parts here he literally just tunnel visioned on the main path without any exploration whatsoever... Should I continue watching or is this same lack of exploring just going to keep haunting me?
I have to say I rarely use Torrent either. For fights I find him very clunky and impractical, making the fights unpredictable (plus he dies quite quickly unless you keep healing him), for exploration unnecessary except for a few spots here and there, and if I want to travel fast and don't feel like walking/running there, I can just warp to a nearby grace and go from there...
@@stevenhoang2671 I know! God damn...I really wish I could just reach through the computer screen...back in time...and make him press R1 one more time slightly to the left, lol. I grit my teeth every time I see him NOT attack one of those glowing skulls.
Watching the Godrick fight makes me feel incredibly conflicted that I took him down in one go. Then again, I was using a +5 weapon with bleed, so I could consistently take chunks of HP off him.
Yeah bleed is pretty powerful , I got a stagger on him with the bloodhound's fang +2 around when phase 2 would trigger, then the critical hit procced the bleed dealing a ton of damage, then he did he scream animation before the cutscene where I got 3 more hits in. He ended up having around 1/3 or even less HP by the time phase 2 even started.
@@stevesmith5883 yep I also destroyed him with the +2 bloodhound's fang, then again due to all the exploring I was level 39 when I faced him so perhaps I was overleveled.
Lobos will fight a Boss at a severe disadvantage instead of leaving, exploring the other 80% Limgrave and coming back later when he's meant to be there ahaha
hell yes brother, welcome to the channel B) tho tbh, i've done so many low damage challenge runs, i never can tell if i'm actually at a disadvantage xD
they did such a good job with the combat on horse back. looks great. ive have watched you do soul games forever and to see you struggle some scares the crap out of me. You are 10X better at these types of games than me.
So this is the fight against Godrick. First, I explore the land where the main boss is, and then finally I go to defeat him. After that, you become strong enough that the main boss can be swept away like dust. But apparently he is weak in the plot because he is a distant relative of the first tarnished.
Massive stuff including secret areas, large non-secret areas, multiple bosses, a secret boss, Epic path to Epic item with even more epic view and massive long hidden quest chain hidden in vague-like item description found in the secret basement zone you all missed just in Stormveil castle alone ;) (not trying to be annoying or anything, It doesn't matter that much. I just wanted to let you know incase you want to eventually experience everything the game has to offer)
I missed so much in Stormveil, they did a very good job in making it puzzle-like and non-linear. In prior Souls areas I rarely got lost and have an almost perfect mental map after going over the area 1-2 times. For Stormveil I still don't know how half of the stuff connects to the other half, and that's amazing. It feels like real castles I've visited in real life in terms of how disorienting it can be at first (probably intentionally to disorient invaders unfamiliar with it).
I assume Lobos figures it out eventually, but that "tombstone" icon on the left of the screen shows when you can use the ash summons, like the wolves or the jellyfish. Just in case anyone watching this doesn't know :)
Lobos, you're the coolest streamer to watch playthroughs of FromSoftware games... I always played the game first and came back to watch you play. I'm doing exactly the same when I first saw you playing Sekiro. Cheers from brazil.
Well yea. You answered yourself in that comment. TS is the first proper enemy you see and you're end-game geared when you fight Artorias. The math here is rather simple.
@@skunkpiss It's top trolling by From Software to have the Tree Sentinel where it is, although I guess it's there to highlight this is not a linear game and you can completely ignore him if you want, unlike previous Souls games. Oh, and it's 'Maths' not 'math'. You Americans need to stop butchering the language ;-)
came back to watch this 2 years later. i remember when i played the game trying tree sentinel more than margit too. he has a few moves that just one shot you. however, pretty much nothing was harder for me than Radahn without summoning. i fought him 1v1 and it was tough to say the least.
So i decieded to take the exploration route and my god there are so many beautiful locations that just leave me dumbfounded and i feel like im in another world. And i havent even been to the castle yet
I feel like he's playing it too much like a regular souls game. He's not using the horse at all or summons/magic. I know he doesn't have the stats to use it right now but from the trailers it looked like those were huge things in this game. Maybe that's just the way it looked bc they made it look that way bc it looks cooler. I haven't played the game so idk but I have seen the gameplay trailers, people play the network test and now people playing the full game and it seems like people are using those options a lot, well way more than when playing most souls games. Take the dude on the horse for example. If you use the horse you can get in and out a lot faster and while on foot its way harder to dodge some of his attacks. Knowing lobos he'll get it done either way and I'm sure once he's leveled up more and gets a grasp of the game and in future playthroughs he'll use the horse and summons and magic more. I guess he's just doing what he's used to. Not to mention he ignored everything so he could go in to it without knowing anything so it's fresh so I'm sure that plays in to it. Most people I've watched played the network test so they already had a good feel for how the game plays. Either way I'm enjoying watching him regardless of how he plays bc he's funny and entertaining as fuck. No clue how he never gets frustrated while playing. I get frustrated way to quick when playing games like this. Hell I get frustrated when playing normal games which are easy compared to these games.
I love the soundtrack references in the boss themes of this game. I was fighting a minor boss in one of the optional catacombs areas and I swear the entire leitmotif from Lady Freide started playing, damned near gave me goosebumps
i'm surprised so many people miss out that this is is literall spelled out for them in the tutorial and only find out later on at a boss(usually tree sentinel or godrick)
Lobos talking about guard counter made me realize he could do a challenge run with only that for attacks. Although it might be impossible with certain bosses I haven't seen yet.
5 hours in and already at godrick.... before getting to godrick, i finished pretty much the whole of limgrave west(not much of limgrave east) and reached him only at about 30-40 hours in-game, lol
hope he learns to use his horse more, it was kinda frustrating watching all the open world jumping puzzles he missed or had a hard time with because they're meant for double-jumps.
I find it interesting that FromSoft chose to go with the healing item refilling at bonfire method. An open world with crafting materials everywhere seems like a shoe-in for the Demon's Souls/Bloodborne method.
I think they knew that players didn't particularly like it. These games are about making mistakes and learning from them. The Bloodborne and Demon's Souls systems punish the player for making mistakes which makes it harder to learn.
@@Harper_Sloane Yeah, I suppose. It just occurred to me that I have 30 healing kits for Torrent and about 100 herbs to make more. Seems like there could be a healing gem sort of item that could be interesting. Maybe there is and I just don't have the recipe yet.
That just doesn't make for fun gameplay, tho. I don't wanna run around and pick berries after my 5th attempt at a hard boss. I much prefer keeping that stuff to ordinary consumables, so you can always make arrows "to order", get different buffs or bombs depending on the situation etc. It's not perfect, I mean I'll probaly never use the stupid horse treats, but it's a great approach to open-world exploration.
3:09:10 funny trivia: In italian the translation is "chi semina vento raccoglie tempesta" and you can translate that as "who sows wind gathers storm" and i think that this may be a funny pun, given the castle where you are
Few things frustrate me more than watching someone play where they miss so many items and even forgot to buy the torch at the beginning or literally crack skulls to see what goodies are inside🤣 love it though, first time blind playthroughs by a champion vet is exactly the spice of life this world needs. Great stuff lobos I'm glad you're digging the game I'm gonna fire it up for the first time tomorrow, started with the OG demon's souls in 09 and now we here it's been an amazing journey🙏
I'm fine with people playing their own way. But him missing 90% of Limgrave before moving on to the next zone, and also missing 90% of Stormveil Castle is mildly frustrating
@@robertmonroe1883 I didn't say he needs to do everything, I actually like seeing these runs I was merely voicing how frustratingly funny it is to see him miss an obvious thing like running right past an item etc there's no way for me to NOT feel like pulling my hair out at times but that's part of the fun
I've been trying to enjoy his streams during my down time from the game but he has skipped SO MUCH content in Limgrave and is already in the area I just got to after 30+ hours. Classic Lobosjr XD
5:07:13 I wasn't expecting to hear that from Lobos who has NOT been exploring anything form the early area, and never backtracked from every new place he accidently discovered in case he missed something. 😂 I'm sorry, but this caught me off guard. For a moment during the stream I thought this was a speedrun and that he didn't upload the actual First playthrough. It's either that, or he forgot it's an open world game unlike the usual linear stuff from FromSoft.
I love the play through so far. I started as a magic mam and it was ALL one shoting me from 1 to 100 no fibbin!! Then someways through I found ribers of love and the rest is history.
I feel like whoever decided to give the birds rapier masks and fire breath on top of their blade feet was having a really bad day.
Those birds are the wheel skeletons of Elden Ring
Still one of the only enemies in the entire game that can wombo combo me to death immediately
Not to mention the ones that can somehow pick shit up and throw it with their sword feet

26:02 That knight was just shocked like "did he.... just try to pull the lever by jumping?"
lol 😂
I genuinely laughed aloud at the pan over to him standing there like "Yeah, I'm still here bitch." Amazing content
It's crazy how in this game you can miss 50% of an entire area if you're just going straight on the main path. Stormveil has so much stuff hidden on rooftops and jump points (Raya Lucaria too)
For someone like Lobos who's played 1000s of hours of previous Souls games, Elden Ring having so much DS3 in it definitely handicaps him here. He rarely goes out of his way to look around areas because he instinctively treats the levels like linear DS3 levels. It's very interesting to compare to someone like me, who had put 20 hours into the game before I even went into Stormveil Castle lmao
@@travtravhaha Yeah me too lol. 50 hours in and I'm just after the second main "story" boss. This game is gigantic when you explore thoroughly
Stormveil is probably the most complex dungeon in any Souls game. And it's right near the beginning of the game. Talk about a roadblock, holy heckus.
@@Kornflayx89 I'm currently 105hrs into my first playthrough and haven't even made it to Leyndell yet lol. Currently exploring Mt. Gelmir. In conclusion: I will never beat this game.
Tbh there are also hundreds of places which are well hidden but have nothing interesting whatsoever, disappointingly. Hopefully it will be improved in the next game.
I'm so glad that lobos went into this game without playing the network test. It makes it way more enjoyable to watch.
Lobos, thank you for saving me the many remote controls I would break out of frustration playing these games. Your ability to stay cool when facing difficult mechanics is a breath of fresh air. You have earned my sub many times over. -Phedge
thanks, phedge
i think anyone can beat elden ring without raging, there are so many ways to get very powerful without facing much of a challenge if you explore and take it slow
@@arseniykorchevskiy1564 this is true but without knowing where to look for the good items ignorant players would be roaming around for literally days (in real time)
Hoping to stumble upon actually good items amongst all the garbage the game has to offer.
0/10
@@li6706 you can beat the game easily with pretty much any of the starting weapons so the only thing you would need to look for to get overpowered is smithing stones, which you can get tons of very easily from any mine. Even if you can’t find the mines, they are usually pretty obviously marked on the map (dark red holes) but there’s no shame just looking up their locations if you still can’t find them. If you really wanted to you could literally just leave all the other items on the ground and only focus on doing the bosses, if you find that to be the fun part of the game beyond the exploration. Even then, if you are struggling, I recommend checking out vaatividya’s most recent video where he explains multiple super painless ways to get overpowered early on, for example as long as you have a bleed weapon(which you can start with if you want), you can kill this enemy that is chained and cannot attack that drops 65k souls, which is an enormous amount early on, and it’s really not too difficult to get there as long as you know how to use sprint on the horse.
M’lobos
Hey lobos I appreciate you posting these videos from your livestream to youtube. With working long hours and school starting soon I don't ever have time to catch you on Twitch. So it's nice to be able to watch still. Keep up the greatness
Love Godricks laugh during the fight he's enjoying it so much
My favorite item so far is the assassin talisman that heals when you crit. Such a rewarding item for when you want to work your way through the castle 1 backstab at a time
my final build on my main character in Bb basically just used runes to turn Visceral attacks into endless play-+3 QSB, and +300 health every visceral attack means you basically never run out of ammo/healing and you still get a third slot for more echoes/items/etc. Combined with the rally system, it's even more effective than high level Absorb Health enchants in skyrim
Honestly that could make the darkness spell pretty fun since it makes enemy ai kinda stupid and backstabbable.
Less good for stealth but amazing for funny bs in dangerous situationd.
this is a great talisman to use when you fight the crucible knight. just parry them to death
@@lunk2569 yeah. I remember I used that to get by the ballista in Stormveil. They missed the first shot and then it was roll, hit, repeat until I was in the clear. Just remember thinking, wtf was the point of that.
I used that for the longest time during my first playthrough. Sword/Spear and Shield/Greatshield, incantations and survivability.
This is now my 4th souls game I've had the pleasure to play blind on launch day. It's been a BLAST, and I love taking a break from my playthrough to catch up on yours :)
Its really interesting to see Lobos play the game in a classic souls way and seeing how it works against him in certain situations.
I couldn't stop thinking the same... for instance, he has a very linear mindset sometimes when these games often reward back-tracking and revisiting locations. However.. his familiarity woth Fromsoft's AI tendencies definitely helps him in confronting some of these enemies.
the fact that he is not using torrent cause he wants every last useless mashroom is infurating
Are you kidding, mushrooms are useful!
You give them to the shopkeep to get a 50% discount on your next purchase or upgrade.
Wait, wrong fromsoft game.
@@bencegergohocz5988 I can kinda forgive that, Torrent definitely makes some things almost too easy, BUT the fact that he still hasn't figured out he can break the glowing skulls for a rune is what's driving me nuts.
@@bencegergohocz5988 you can grab them on horseback.
"Now that looks like a dexterity build to me."
Well yeah, 'being a spider' is a pretty popular dex build indeed.
Others: Stormveil is a trap, you are supposed to explore and get stronger before going there.
Lobos: hold my estus
"supposed to" lmao no...you can do whatever you want, telling people what they are "supposed" to be doing in an open world game is like, antithetical to their point
"a trap" is a bit excessive, it's definitel hard to do if you don't explore first, but as long as you figure out the various mechanics(or in lobos's case, are stubborn as hell and get some lucky rng) you can do it without issues.
the other dungeons? yeah no, those ones will punish you quite a it more if you don't explore first.
@@ladyilex just because it's open world doesn't mean there aren't heavily suggested routes for which you could use the phrase "supposed to do" for.
Hey Loobert. Game is a blast, super intrigued by how different our playthroughs have been because of the open world and options! Seems like it's gonna be a doozy for many runs to come!
4:53:50 Praise the moon! Lobos broke a glowing skull by rolling into it! I hope that registered in his brain and now he'll break all of them for loot.
Edit: He finally had a realization about them at 4:58:50. That was great.
When does he realize the grave symbol means he can summon the ashes? The one time I've seen him do it so far he thought it was because there was a dog *facepalm*
@@justinwoods535 I think somewhere in Part 3 he kind of realized that, but not really. Like someone in chat might have suggested that after someone else asked what that grave symbol meant? So hopefully he remembers that.
@@justinwoods535 Also you know what really grinds my gears? He hasn't realized that skeletons can be prevented from resurrecting if you just break their bones apart after you "kill" them. Instead he just watches as they resurrect. You'd think he be a little more inquisitive with the idea of resurrecting skeletons.
Those become worthless very quickly, you're essentially getting pissy because he's not picking flowers.
@@CerpinTxt87 Sounds like you're the one who's pissy here. How sad.
It's nice watching this after I did my playthrough and seeing what I did different. For instance I went around and over the rooftop to get to Godrick. Didn't even know the warrior woman was inside one of the rooms there.
Watching this first playthrough after having seen several of lobos' future runs, it's super funny to see how little he's utilizing jump when later on he makes so much use of his beloved jump attacks.

Man its so nice to be able to go through these and watch the first experience again.
2:36:45: Godrick 2nd phase
3:05:55: Finally beats Godrick
I love watching Lobos experience this game blind.
I was getting very frustrated with him totally NOT figuring out how summons work.
Like when he reads the tutorial about it showing an icon on the left side of the screen when you can summon, and then moments later he ponders over what that icon on the left side of the screen could possibly mean lol.
Or at 1:49:34 "Nope, can't use those Lone Wolf Ashes" and then immediately walks out the door where he could now use them, but doesn't realize.
I like how I'm 2 hours into the second part and he just acknowledged horse double jump but didn't yet try it.. and he never broke one of the glowing eyes skulls yet either.
Well, summons make many fights very easy - just like magic does. And Lobos never uses magic, so...
Love how you can just basically b-line it to the castle from the beginning kinda like bos, or clear out LImgrave and two islands like I did, then go to the castle
Yeah really loving the open world variant of this one. In former Soulsborne titles if you backtracked to grind it kinda felt like a chore before returning to the mostly linear progression. Now when I hit a brick wall and am not skilled enough to get past it (at least yet), I head back to get more levels and gear... and instead of grinding it feels like an incredible adventure.
I've been amazed by the amount of streamers that make a beeline straight for the castle and instantly grind themselves up against Margit.
I literally tried to squeeze out every bit of exploration I could before attempting Margit again and only returned when I ran into brick walls every other direction.
@@dowfreak7 yeah that’s basically what I do. Nothing to prove when your not a streamer, I took margit 3rd try with some spirit wolf bois
The level design is absolutely fromsoftware godlike tier. Every room is like a different puzzle with each different unique bosses and enemies every time. This is unlike anything I've ever seen is crazy.
Edit: Ok I was still freaking out when I wrote that but I still believe the levels are great. I'm still not all the way through but I still have enjoyed larger areas like Stormvail castle. The open world areas are also still awesome and even the chalice dungeons are still fun, only mishap is just the repeated bosses. I still enjoy them a ton I just generally dislike when games do that. Still no doubt this is the greatest game of the year in my eyes at least.
It makes every other From Software game, and by extension every other modern game I have played, look vastly inferior, like VASTLY.
I'm honestly kind of shocked at what I'm playing. I just crossed the gate after Stormveil Castle and my jaw straight up dropped to the floor. Playing this game 100% blind has been my best gaming experience ever.
My one complaint so far is that at least early on leveling STR/DEX for damage is completely pointless, scaling is garbage on every weapon I have. Vigor/Endurance are the god stats, rest is just for requirements. This may change late game but so far it's looking lopsided.
@@steel5897 Nah, it's always a requirement only stat early game. Though the scaling early is a bit yeah... Probably no problem late game for sure.
@@steel5897 I thought I might have been the only one thinking that. Maybe its to prevent players from rushing too fast? I'm really thorough and not noticing good scaling as well.
@@steel5897 dont forget to apply the right ash of war to boost scaling for the stat you want!
Im here(2:23:05) Lobos like you asked, took me a bit to find the boss battle across your videos. Lol
I beat Margit with a lvl 1 straight sword and went into the castle and when i saw the dragon head arm and i was like... yeah i need to farm now. XD
That tunnel filled with materials you mentioned on stream to upgrade weapons will help a bunch. Thank you!
good luck w/ godrick!!
I'm guessing he forgot the blacksmith at the round-table he was at. Graft without calling for that npc summon or his spirits so far as of 2:30:59 wonder if he is going to try either?
Lobos and forgetting stuff 1 minute later, name a more iconic duo.
So pleased to have found your channel again. You were a huge help (and hugely entertaining) on Nioh 2.. and then for some reason your channel disappeared from my feed. I was desperately trying to find your channel for my Sekiro play through. Glad to have found you again for this.
It’s funny to watch souls vets playing this. Like many of the souls veterans, your souls experience is a huge detriment to the open world RPG nature of this game and the approach to play that encourages. But watching you destroy certain bosses at such a low level is a sight to behold... (i'm level 60, still struggle with the tree guys :D)
But I’ve lost count of the amount of times I thought… if you just got on the horse and double jumped. Or the amount of times where I thought open the map, they told you were to go... or.. look at the map, it's obvious where the map fragments are. Or the amount of times where I thought... see... if you'd actually explored a little in the starter zone instead of pushing forward... (then you'd know what the Wonderous Physik is and how powerful it is ) :D
Frustratingly enjoyable watch, in the best possible way, nice amount of binge watching ahead of me with these while I work… :)
Hats off to From Software, they have done an incredible job of blending the two game types, and their approach to open world design is incredible.
Honestly that Godrick fight, was a sign of you weren't ready to face him, but.. It shows how well you you analysed this fight, despite it being lengthier you nailed it down.
Most would've likely upgraded their stuff or explore further. so this was interesting approach to see.
Man, the tree sentinel is such a good tutorial boss, for casual/new players it teaches that elden ring is an open world and you can ignore it, and those who are stubborn will learn a lot for example: some bosses punish magic builds hard, roll catching is a thing and parry.
Haven't played fromsoft games for a while and it definitely cleaned a lot of rust when I was a peasant with a club XD
"Good for him though. That determination."
Inspirational Lobos right in the feels
Seems lobos noticed the same bug I did, the game has action queueing, so if you attack while in an animation you automatically attack after the animation.
However changing stance is y + attack button, so if you try to change to dual wield or single handed in an animation it ignores that and locks you into an attack instead.
That was a huge problem for me while fighting Margit haha. Wanted to switch to 1 hand for a guard counter during one specific attack but that shit kept happening instead
The issue is people are pressing them at the same time. Just press Y (or just hold it) first, and then a split second later should you press attack. You just need to have Y held or pressed first. It’ll work every time without issue.

Try doing that while in a roll
Just 100% ER and I am finally ready to watch Lobos while I do challenge runs. It's hard to beat a first playthrough of a From game.
With Elden Ring now a year since release watchin Lobos 1st playthrough vids for first time seein that jump be done was cool. 2:50 never knew you could get in that way lol
Lobos neglecting his horse is hilarious.. he keeps forgetting he can access way more verticality in the open world with the horsie. Also once getting used to mounted combat, it’s super OP.. watching him trying to figure out how to get down into liurnia of the lakes was kinda painful to watch 😂 also not trying out in the horse in the poison swamp
Same with tree sentinal boss. Super easy with torrent
Mounted combat is fantastic especially with the greatsword. Tree sentinel and the dragon are an easy clap with torrent.
@@chuck9246 You gotta admit, though, it was a lot more fun watching him beat Tree boi the old fashioned way.
I hate the horse and only use the dumb thing when the game makes me.
@@00ABBITT00 why hate the horse?
There's a lot things in the castle rooftops, you can jump from rooftop to rooftop.
nice!
Absolutely loving the jumping puzzles they've added, there's even some pretty major stuff locked behind some of them
I can't believe how early on you beat Margit and Godric. I went and explored when I got frustrated with Margit and came back at level 35. Well done Lobos. I've been looking forward to watching you play Elden Ring!
Holy shit 35! Damn my guy can procrastinate.
@@red0death1 Yeah, I just got lost exploring and by the time I decided to go back I realized I had leveled up quite a bit. Good news is that I beat Margit and Godric within 2 of each other. So it worked out. Lol
@@red0death1 it's an open world game and you can play it however the hell you want? Don't shame people for how they choose to approach the game. It's gross.
@@fjorgyn7438 LOL saying someone can procrastinate is not shamming Fjogyn especially in this context. Did you not see the reply? Did you not see this was 3 weeks ago? The only thing shameful is i wasted a min typing out this reply. I'm hopeful English isn't your first language =P.
@@red0death1 it clearly isn't yours judging by your shit spelling and grammar. I don't care how long ago it was, my comment still stands. Just because you're feigning ignorance to what I'm saying doesn't make what I'm saying any less true.
1:39:09 A big part of the enjoyment I found in mastering Dark Souls 1 was learning to be hyper-aggressive by using hitboxes like this and thinking about poise breakpoints.
The easiest was Super Smough, you'd just keep attacking under all his stuff without even needing to time your ducking motions etc. if you were angled right, and you'd ideally keep your poise break for when he readies to jump up. Can even overhead swat him out the sky on his descent, very easy with force/wog/dragon roar, casting also being great cause you can keep attacking while regenning stamina in dks1. I've noticed this stuff happening a lot more incidentally in Elden Ring, especially with the giant stagger crit combos, jumps are also great.
I find a lot of Elden Ring can be very easy, but as someone who likes to try 0 blocking and speeding through the 1st 40-80% of a fight after analyzing a boss, I see a high skill expression with some of these fights. It also has fun tactical expression, been loving the Gravitas Ashes of War on my Brick Hammer, such incredibly sick combos when the GET OVER HERE effect applies, especially if it's vs. multiple enemies that group up for your sweeps, all except one whiffing their hit cause the succ AoE reaches very nicely, the odd one out hit directly with the weapon as a punish, it seems to build stagger quite a lot.
Also a great anti-flying enemy move for the otherwise poorly suited Brick Hammer. 2:10:28 Like these...
Hit-trading stat-check builds aren't my favorite, but clean hyper-aggressive styles that require making quick adaptations and being precise are THE BEST.
These games started with Dark Souls 1 for me, the game's identity was basically 1 hit punish and back off, it's such an amazing feeling when you can break free from that to this extent without it feeling like cheese. (Cheese is fun from time to time too though, slightly timed Zwei 2hr2 stun-locking Taurus with those double hits is a classic)
3:06:03 This is something I've learned to accept and it's a whole lot more fun. 1st run can be mostly casual with a few challenges when you really feel it. Exploring and taking it easy is fun in it's own right, so why not learn more passively as you do that so you've got some background when you do go hardcore? I've even tried hit-trading strats here and there, especially if it's a boss I already fought anyway, interesting to learn how approaches pan out. With all the Ashes of War etc., there's SO much to try.
Man, it's a whole other experience seeing Lobos tackle a boss for the first time compared to how I do it. I'm just trying to kill the damn thing, but Lobos is already planning for his Level One Fists-Only playthrough down the line. Kinda surreal.
Your mindset is how most people fight bosses, they don't really bother to learn the fight, just hoping to kill it and get it over with, which I don't understand, it's imo a disservice to the developers for making these great bossfights.
Whenever I enter a boss arena I literally just dodge and see everything the boss can do, then I beat him to the 2nd phase and observe him again, it's best to learn the bossfights as early as possible cause I know ima be fighting them plenty of times
@@BBBerti I mean, I do learn the fight and appreciate the effort and talent in making the boss, I just don’t do that in the first playthrough. My first time, I want to experience as much of the game as possible, and the boss is my obstacle to that goal. I love the fights (when they’re well-executed), but I don’t want to spend hours learning all of the boss’ movesets when I could be exploring the world, progressing NPC quests, gaining new equipment/spells, or learning more about the lore and story.
@@BBBerti i feel the best is in the middle: completel dissecting a boss's moveset in your first try without actuall absorbing the struggle and the atmosphere is ust as much of a disservice to the fight imho, you should fight to win but also see what the game has to offer, but not force it into a literal hyper-technicaly showcase worthy of a powerpoint presentation.
The God damned horn in this game makes me laugh every time. Makes me think of Monty Python and the holy grail.
it is but a scratch!
Mergit seems way outta my league after beating the tree sentinel, I spent 10 hours exploring Limgrave, getting to the bottom of the map, there's an elevator that takes you down into a place I won't spoil, spent another hour down there, came back up, still couldn't beat mergit. He beats mergit and proceeds into the castle immediately. I love it, this game is completely buckwild and different from anything I've ever played. Utterly unique and I feel western devs are gonna attempt this for years and never attain it.
you beat margit?
I think i may have discovered the place you are talking about and its absolutely breath taking. I had 4 map fragments before i beat margit
margit can be trivialized by summons if you have too much trouble
@@naruto00nix glow-jelly ftw!
i didnt even know about the path to mergit until i was watching lobos' video and i was already over 30 hours into my game. i went just about every other direction, even around and way past stormfall. just caught up with the whole castle part and did 10 more hours of exploring to avoid spoilers, and now im back to continue his series. lol this game is a great time sink.
Looking at this again, the influences from their work on Sekiro is really striking.
Happy to see I'm not the only one who had those struggles of fighting that damn sentinel. It just looked like me playing and I felt every death. ESPECIALLY The terrain messing my attempts. And that dastardly shoulder charge.
Going straight to Stormveil i can understand it's the very first legacy dungeon after all, but straight to Liurnia ? damn xD his exploratory senses are as good as ever.
Lobos' justification for not mounting up is strange considering he skipped 90% of Limgrave.
Especially in the open world with how Torrent aids in traversal, seems really weird. Like that bridge he wanted to jump to, with Torrent that wouldn't have been an issue at all.
I actually have to drop Lobos's playthrough if he doesn't do ANY exploring of limgrave/ exploring in general... I am about 20 hours into the game and just got to Godrick, but did just about everything there is to do in limgrave.
Does he get better in this regard? Seems pointless to play ER like your standard soulsborne game, it defeats the whole purpose of it being open world. In the first 2 parts here he literally just tunnel visioned on the main path without any exploration whatsoever... Should I continue watching or is this same lack of exploring just going to keep haunting me?
@@Wolfgang_von_Caelid it gets better and he does do some backtracking into Limgrave/Weeping Penninsula
I have to say I rarely use Torrent either. For fights I find him very clunky and impractical, making the fights unpredictable (plus he dies quite quickly unless you keep healing him), for exploration unnecessary except for a few spots here and there, and if I want to travel fast and don't feel like walking/running there, I can just warp to a nearby grace and go from there...
@@Wolfgang_von_Caelid NOOOO you're not exploring the way I want you to ;_;
Thanks for uploading lobos,and I can’t believe you conquered Margit so early! Love your playthroughs.
3:42:59 I can't believe Lobos hasn't found out those glowing skulls yet. He killed that sheep right next to it too. It's driving me nuts.
i was like YES the glowing skull is right next to the sheep. He has to break the skull!
@@stevenhoang2671 I know! God damn...I really wish I could just reach through the computer screen...back in time...and make him press R1 one more time slightly to the left, lol. I grit my teeth every time I see him NOT attack one of those glowing skulls.
The icon of tombstone on left or whatever is just you can summon your wolf or whatever incantation.
Watching the Godrick fight makes me feel incredibly conflicted that I took him down in one go. Then again, I was using a +5 weapon with bleed, so I could consistently take chunks of HP off him.
Yeah bleed is pretty powerful , I got a stagger on him with the bloodhound's fang +2 around when phase 2 would trigger, then the critical hit procced the bleed dealing a ton of damage, then he did he scream animation before the cutscene where I got 3 more hits in. He ended up having around 1/3 or even less HP by the time phase 2 even started.
@@stevesmith5883 yep I also destroyed him with the +2 bloodhound's fang, then again due to all the exploring I was level 39 when I faced him so perhaps I was overleveled.
@@stevesmith5883 I was seeing similar results with the Cross-Naginata
I cheesed the heck out of so many bosses including godrick with the jellyfish summon. draws aggro and procs poison? Jellyfish kinda OP.
@@MrGhostTheBigRoast we affectionately call the jellyfish ashes “Jelly” in my house and she has saved us many a times
Lobos will fight a Boss at a severe disadvantage instead of leaving, exploring the other 80% Limgrave and coming back later when he's meant to be there ahaha
hell yes brother, welcome to the channel B) tho tbh, i've done so many low damage challenge runs, i never can tell if i'm actually at a disadvantage xD
@@LobosjrGaming been here for YEARS brother wouldn't have it any othet way
Lobos not realizing that incantations are just miracles and spirits are something completely different is driving me insane.
or how he seemed to ave forgotten the existance of torrent for a good bit of time during this episode... oof.
"how am I gonna get down"
Refuses to stop for five seconds to actually look around, thinks a random tower is Raya Lucaria. Lobo only has go-go-gear.
The open world will make lets plays of Elden Ring very different from each other.
"Has this always been the case?"
Hey I figured out you could roll to smash skulls after 90 hours.
they did such a good job with the combat on horse back. looks great. ive have watched you do soul games forever and to see you struggle some scares the crap out of me. You are 10X better at these types of games than me.
So this is the fight against Godrick. First, I explore the land where the main boss is, and then finally I go to defeat him. After that, you become strong enough that the main boss can be swept away like dust. But apparently he is weak in the plot because he is a distant relative of the first tarnished.
Huh
Fair enough, I've been having a good laugh about the gatekeeper (Margit) being stronger than the king himself
Absolute mad lad wants the dragon transformation from dark souls so damn hard that he forces it to happen
I can handle watching any playing style there is in lp's but not taking in the view from the first Liurnia bonfire is just HERESY!
Massive stuff including secret areas, large non-secret areas, multiple bosses, a secret boss, Epic path to Epic item with even more epic view and massive long hidden quest chain hidden in vague-like item description found in the secret basement zone you all missed just in Stormveil castle alone ;) (not trying to be annoying or anything, It doesn't matter that much. I just wanted to let you know incase you want to eventually experience everything the game has to offer)
I hope this message doesn't read wrong or rude in anyway bc I'm not trying to be like that in anyway
I missed so much in Stormveil, they did a very good job in making it puzzle-like and non-linear. In prior Souls areas I rarely got lost and have an almost perfect mental map after going over the area 1-2 times. For Stormveil I still don't know how half of the stuff connects to the other half, and that's amazing. It feels like real castles I've visited in real life in terms of how disorienting it can be at first (probably intentionally to disorient invaders unfamiliar with it).
Lobos saying he's a sword guy made me smile. There's a crap ton of amazing, crazy swords in this game lol.
the climax hit at half an hour of this video, absolutely fantastic
I assume Lobos figures it out eventually, but that "tombstone" icon on the left of the screen shows when you can use the ash summons, like the wolves or the jellyfish.
Just in case anyone watching this doesn't know :)
He still didn't find the item you need to use them. As far as I remember. Which is why he isn't using them.
Moments after I typed that he found it. Lmao
Lobos, you're the coolest streamer to watch playthroughs of FromSoftware games... I always played the game first and came back to watch you play. I'm doing exactly the same when I first saw you playing Sekiro. Cheers from brazil.
It took me fewer attempts to beat Artorias in DS1 than it did to beat that Tree Sentinel dude. Insane for that to be first enemy you meet.
Well yea. You answered yourself in that comment. TS is the first proper enemy you see and you're end-game geared when you fight Artorias. The math here is rather simple.
@@skunkpiss It's top trolling by From Software to have the Tree Sentinel where it is, although I guess it's there to highlight this is not a linear game and you can completely ignore him if you want, unlike previous Souls games. Oh, and it's 'Maths' not 'math'. You Americans need to stop butchering the language ;-)
Honestly, after beating him twice and making a thirdchar i could easily beat him at lvl 15 or so
Man, these areas aren't so bad when you clear the bottom portion of Limgrave first. You were there early!
came back to watch this 2 years later. i remember when i played the game trying tree sentinel more than margit too. he has a few moves that just one shot you. however, pretty much nothing was harder for me than Radahn without summoning. i fought him 1v1 and it was tough to say the least.
2:21:30, wasn’t expecting you to pull out a pot boi figurine! That’s very noice
3:42:56 AHH he passes soo many glowing skulls! He seems like an experienced gamer, why does he never try to destroy the glowing skulls?
Because he's treating it too much like ds3.
So i decieded to take the exploration route and my god there are so many beautiful locations that just leave me dumbfounded and i feel like im in another world. And i havent even been to the castle yet
I feel like he's playing it too much like a regular souls game. He's not using the horse at all or summons/magic. I know he doesn't have the stats to use it right now but from the trailers it looked like those were huge things in this game. Maybe that's just the way it looked bc they made it look that way bc it looks cooler. I haven't played the game so idk but I have seen the gameplay trailers, people play the network test and now people playing the full game and it seems like people are using those options a lot, well way more than when playing most souls games. Take the dude on the horse for example. If you use the horse you can get in and out a lot faster and while on foot its way harder to dodge some of his attacks. Knowing lobos he'll get it done either way and I'm sure once he's leveled up more and gets a grasp of the game and in future playthroughs he'll use the horse and summons and magic more. I guess he's just doing what he's used to. Not to mention he ignored everything so he could go in to it without knowing anything so it's fresh so I'm sure that plays in to it. Most people I've watched played the network test so they already had a good feel for how the game plays. Either way I'm enjoying watching him regardless of how he plays bc he's funny and entertaining as fuck. No clue how he never gets frustrated while playing. I get frustrated way to quick when playing games like this. Hell I get frustrated when playing normal games which are easy compared to these games.
Seems I was wrong, he got stupid lucky going back for the anvil and triggering the Ranni encounter for the bell. Good for him I got it the same way.
Lobos not leveling vigor like a true souls pro
I don’t level that stat either, it’s pretty pointless since the one thing you want is not getting hit.
@@misaeltoral508
Sure, but not getting one-hitted still make for an easier time than making the game a hitless run
@@misaeltoral508 it's not going to work out in this one I'm afraid. You'll be oneshot all the time that way
I can totally hear Ludwig's theme from Bloodborne in the Godrick fight.
Well like Ludwig's theme it is a song in 3/4 time so the theme has this Waltz feeling to it.
Yeah I thought the same thing
I love the soundtrack references in the boss themes of this game. I was fighting a minor boss in one of the optional catacombs areas and I swear the entire leitmotif from Lady Freide started playing, damned near gave me goosebumps
You have some of the best guides for this game out there right now, thanks for your work!
After seeing what the grafted microboss does, Godrick pretty much just feels like any other two-armed boss.
When i did tree sentinel i found out jump attack do a lot more stagger dmg. Could consistently 3hit stagger him with the prophet spear
i'm surprised so many people miss out that this is is literall spelled out for them in the tutorial and only find out later on at a boss(usually tree sentinel or godrick)
Man ive been a pretty long souls fan and im not to bad at the game but just watching lobos just get better and better each fight is crazy to me
Lobos talking about guard counter made me realize he could do a challenge run with only that for attacks. Although it might be impossible with certain bosses I haven't seen yet.
Definitely not on Radahn. He might be the most obnoxious boss in any FromSoft game
@@StevelyBruckShut well, if he just runs around and dodges while the summons do all the work
lobos love coming back to your first playthrough
Torrent starts with a T
Tree Sentinel starts with a T
Thomas the Spectral Engine starts with a T, so I prophesize.
I have a feeling I will be right.
Hopefully someone makes a Thomas the tank engine mod for torrent.
Lobo's line of the stream (referring to Giant at edge of crumbling cliff): oh, he's fine this is his natural habitat.
5:03:23 I don't get what, or who, Lobos is talking about here. I probably am spelling this wrong, who or what is "magickosegann"?
5 hours in and already at godrick.... before getting to godrick, i finished pretty much the whole of limgrave west(not much of limgrave east) and reached him only at about 30-40 hours in-game, lol
The 25 to 30min timeframe is very watchable. Especially how you are leaning in your chair to see around corners in the game. Good stuff!
It took me 30 hours to find a way into the academy and lobos just teleported straight there after godrick lmao
Glad I'm not the only one who struggled with those god awful fire spitting birds...
i dunno how i missed this guy in the church of irith, but thank you! i've been using just the starting sorcery for prisoner this whole time 🙃
Well I mean yeah, high ground is advantageous only in ranged combat, in sword to sword low ground is a win every day.
I actually took the main gate so this is perfect content for me
this is a good way to relax and take a break from raging at malenia
hope he learns to use his horse more, it was kinda frustrating watching all the open world jumping puzzles he missed or had a hard time with because they're meant for double-jumps.
Just jumping in general helps a lot.
I don't remember him ever using the double jump yet. He might not catch on for a while
I find it interesting that FromSoft chose to go with the healing item refilling at bonfire method. An open world with crafting materials everywhere seems like a shoe-in for the Demon's Souls/Bloodborne method.
I think they knew that players didn't particularly like it. These games are about making mistakes and learning from them. The Bloodborne and Demon's Souls systems punish the player for making mistakes which makes it harder to learn.
@@Harper_Sloane 100% agree, farming for healing items and bullets was one of the few mechanics from BB I didn't like
@@Harper_Sloane Yeah, I suppose. It just occurred to me that I have 30 healing kits for Torrent and about 100 herbs to make more. Seems like there could be a healing gem sort of item that could be interesting. Maybe there is and I just don't have the recipe yet.
That just doesn't make for fun gameplay, tho.
I don't wanna run around and pick berries after my 5th attempt at a hard boss. I much prefer keeping that stuff to ordinary consumables, so you can always make arrows "to order", get different buffs or bombs depending on the situation etc.
It's not perfect, I mean I'll probaly never use the stupid horse treats, but it's a great approach to open-world exploration.
I dunno why i didn't think of it before but Godrick is standing in a graveyard. So i assume he has been grafting corpses to himself?
3:09:10 funny trivia: In italian the translation is "chi semina vento raccoglie tempesta" and you can translate that as "who sows wind gathers storm" and i think that this may be a funny pun, given the castle where you are
Few things frustrate me more than watching someone play where they miss so many items and even forgot to buy the torch at the beginning or literally crack skulls to see what goodies are inside🤣 love it though, first time blind playthroughs by a champion vet is exactly the spice of life this world needs. Great stuff lobos I'm glad you're digging the game I'm gonna fire it up for the first time tomorrow, started with the OG demon's souls in 09 and now we here it's been an amazing journey🙏
I'm fine with people playing their own way.
But him missing 90% of Limgrave before moving on to the next zone, and also missing 90% of Stormveil Castle is mildly frustrating
@@Zonyxe that's not *missing* though -_- it's open world and obviously I will return 😅
@@robertmonroe1883 I didn't say he needs to do everything, I actually like seeing these runs I was merely voicing how frustratingly funny it is to see him miss an obvious thing like running right past an item etc there's no way for me to NOT feel like pulling my hair out at times but that's part of the fun
I've been trying to enjoy his streams during my down time from the game but he has skipped SO MUCH content in Limgrave and is already in the area I just got to after 30+ hours. Classic Lobosjr XD
The open world is a curse for Lobos
5:07:13 I wasn't expecting to hear that from Lobos who has NOT been exploring anything form the early area, and never backtracked from every new place he accidently discovered in case he missed something. 😂
I'm sorry, but this caught me off guard. For a moment during the stream I thought this was a speedrun and that he didn't upload the actual First playthrough. It's either that, or he forgot it's an open world game unlike the usual linear stuff from FromSoft.
I love the play through so far. I started as a magic mam and it was ALL one shoting me from 1 to 100 no fibbin!! Then someways through I found ribers of love and the rest is history.
Dude just found you but I'm like 100% sure you're the voice of Mithrax from destiny. Dude you're talented
