@@MrGelmo1889 It's true. You have no time to prepare and get summoned as a blue *so* rarely and you KNOW that each invader is worth like 30 minutes of killing silver knights so the pressure gets to you.
This has to be the most "DS3" DS3 invasion I've ever seen. The necromancer host, the god-awful teammates, the glorious gigachad teammates, the parry spamming blues, the straight sword lords, the backstahp fishing, the paper mache wizard blues, the host being a clueless noob that has no idea how to play the level without the help of his friends. And to wrap it all up, after carrying the innocent bambi through Lothric Castle, you backstab him into a fat V E R T I C A L I T Y. Makes you think... Maybe the real Dark Souls 3 invasions were the friends we made along the way.
Murdering the worst teammate ever and promptly being blessed with the best teammate ever so you could have this unfold is why red friendly fire exists. Also Saint entered that invasion with 1500 souls and left with 250k+ holy shit
7:42 That wasn't the fall damage. If you land on an enemy with your body, you actually do a miniscule amount of damage. You *literally* Goomba-Stomped that phantom for the kill.
I saw this entire saga unfold in real time on Twitch last week! No matter how much the PvP has devolved into miserable tryhard degeneracy where now it's about winning no matter the cost, it's always folks like Saint who actually value giving personality to both their streams and builds that make invasions fun and unpredictable as they ought to be.
half way through it almost seems like the host just summoned you and the other invaders with a sign just to gank blues LOL edit: wow you really tenderized your meat there Saint
If you ever need to show someone what makes Souls invasions so good, show them this. You couldn't write something this good, with a twist and everything!
@@saintriot really? I thought you could only get 2 phantoms + 1 invader in a world... i guess 1 phantom + 2 invaders should be possible, just don't know how common those will be Or are we getting the full 6 player experience?
@@flowwy_ if the host uses the taunter's tongue (dry finger) there can be 2 invaders. Still 4 players max. But if an invader kills a phantom a second invader can join then the host can't resummon. Just comes down to who gets in first. A fellow invader, another phantom or a blue.
This reminds me of a red who led me through The Nightmare Frontier in Bloodborne. He actually stopped attacking me mid-fight and there was a weird tension for the rest of the area. He de-summoned himself after a certain point was reached that I forget.
Here I sit, waiting for the day that the dungeon master makes his appearance in Elden Ring. My God, what a day that will be. Que the Final Fantasy 6 soundtrack.
What I've learned most from you about invading at later areas and against gang squads is that you have to maintain patience and look for attacks of opportunities. Don't stay too far back otherwise they'll just keep progressing through the level, but hang back just enough to where you are a force they have to deal with. Once one white goes down, the others tend to panic and either run for the boss or try to summon another phantom.
Hey what are your thoughts that most of the glitches from dark souls three have Made their way into Elden ring network test do you think fromsoft Will fix these bugs or just ignore them like they did in dark souls three?
This reminds me of when I did my one-night Aldrich Faithful, and came across a host who was using Sellswords. They were fighting the twin spear Drang twin, and I two-handed my shield to be like "parry him," until a coinvader showed up and did the same. We just ran around spamming parry near the host, and would randomly end up parrying him for a few minutes, but my coinvader ended up killing them with a Hornet ring UGS crit. Bullying hosts with something as simple as a parry shield is so much fun, especially with a friend :P
2021 and we still have fallen knights with shield of want. Might tear up from all this nostalgia
And the blues are still kinda clueless.

Yep, you know you are fighting over leveled clowns when you return from a few invasions with almost a million souls
699 even lol
@@zukondis I once got half a million souls from killing one phantom, and killed him again not long after. I got at least 30 levels out of it.
Going off of the souls rewards for killing them, some of these guys are lvl 250 and above
Average "Kill host ASAP" fan v.s the Chad "Play a game of Hostage" enjoyer.
That's why you invade. To hostage a host. heh

The double quiet resolve made me wheeze.
lmfao with 2 reds playing as phantoms it almost feels like the blues are the actual invaders
It do be like that sometimes
Big props to the Host for not DCing that entire time.
I mean, it is kind of sad that is given big props instead of the minimum expectation of decency
You ever see that picture of the two cheetahs licking the neck of a frightened antelope?
Yeah.
i can't stop laughing, the synced gestures oh god
what an epic tale, with a wholesome ending too
Ah yes. Two identical Bois chase a host in circles.
Some invasions have stories, this one had an entire odyssey xD
there's just no fucking way to not love souls games bro. gotta love em hard af, magnificent pieces of work
12:41 you can faintly notice the one phantom just casually squatting while this Blue got murdered. Amazing.
Had a kind of shitty day, things have been stressful lately. Watching this vid back always puts a smile on my face though. Thank you, Mr. Riot.
half way through it almost seems like the host just summoned you and the other invaders with a sign just to gank blues LOL

The glove swap killed me
16:00 "Dont quiet resolve me if you gank me".

Wholesome co-invasion. You guys even gifted the host. Truly unmatched beauty of a game.
This is the most wholesome invasion ever, gg saint.
24:33 the knife landing perfectly between the visor was pretty sweet.
That's why i'm gonna miss co-invasions in elden ring
I had multiple co-invaders during the network test.
They still exist they're just different.

backstabbed so hard the video corrupted
7:40 not the fall damage, you killed him. When you’re falling on an entity it takes damage.
fairly certain thats what he meant
@@thestralner6335 Probably, but that’s a different term

I'd forgotten how darn good the farram boots look
lmao the ""plunge"" at 7:43 right into "you never see it comiiiiiing"
Absolutely one of the most wholesome invasions I've ever seen.
The utter betrayal on the fellow red at the end! Stunning
That ending is like 1st in top 10 anime betrayals
Every single song that played on this video I was able to recognize and it was so cool to be able to do that
Love it when the opportunity to play Hostage with a host presents itself
7:41 VERTICALITY

simply lmfao the greatbow red from the first bit of the invasion switched sides
The true Invasion experience, do wathever you think is the funniest and most inneficient plays making everyone enjoy it.
That ending was so evil. And the laugh too. D:

After all these years, I finally realize your thumbnail is the cover of Ben Her
A thing of beauty from start to finish.
This is _the_ Dark Souls invasion and no one can convince me otherwise
Wholesome as! Best invasions out there love you saint
7:54 - Why do people try to parry 2H UGS? I thought you could only parry when it's one handed but I see so many people trying to do this.
Some people just don't know.

Glitches from DS1 had to be patched out of DS2, BB and DS3. It's the same every time. No one at From Software was paying attention to DS3 past 2017.
mario stomped a phantom
Ahhhh..... these were much simpler times..... do you remember? Pepperidge farm remembers....
It's really satisfying seeing Saint destroy another invaded while invading
Good lord what a classic. This is how I will remember dark souls pvp
Story of gankers, getting outplayed and getting saved
the most dark souls dark souls invasion really
I love giving up and helping it's the best sometimes :D
At 7:50 saint killed a man in time with the music
Appreciate the Chrono Trigger music.
I'm left feeling confused and impressed at the same time
ACTUAL PATCHES THERE AT THE END
Please come back to Ds3!
That ending was brilliant!
😂 giving the host the old chase wiggle had me rolling!
See papa riot uploaded -> insta liked
I wish he would use a seed so you guys could help
this is the best thing i've ever seen
Hahahaha that was so mean at the end but hilarious at the same time!
Love the build with the caestus on the left hand. He’s got big honker energy. Too cooool to care. Do you RP with this rascal?
I remember watching this live the other night, had me dieing hahahah
this was fucking amazing holy shit next level strats
How absolutely hysterical would it have been if you had kicked him off the ledge at 25:00 patches style 😂
This was some ShwaAkari content right up until that very last moment lmao
These ds3 invasions are great
This is the kind of crap that made Dark Souls 3 so great. It's so sad to say but you would never see anything remotely like this in Elden Ring
Love ya saint

You were supposed to title it “the great story never told”
Christ alive the greatest story ever told
this is a novel
This is the true ds3 experience.
The Elitest Knights
Goddamn, this was a great invasion.
Truly a microKosm of Soulsborne-Ring.
This was hilarious, who was the coinvader?
Poetic
So this is what it feels like to be patches lololol
NOOOO SAINT WHYYY
Just a couple of the silliest goobers you will ever meet
**chef's kiss**
Chat Called it! A greatbow invader! Lazy as ever! They Called It Sayne!!
This game...
this is just pure hilarity
I was there, best invasion of the year
20:32 lmao this plot twist really made me chuckle
Nevermind 25:45 was a million tims better lmfao
So excited for elden ring. 75% so I can play and 25% so I can watch saint play
👹 on fire bro 👹
