@@msarilyn7677 but here's the thing in this context, maiden isn't used in a romantic context. He means finger maiden, women under the Two Fingers who serve to guide and care for tarnished
So her tinfoil hat theory is actually correct. Many enemies and bosses are coded to react when you cast a spell or drink a health pot. There are other videos that show enemies dodge roll spamming when you cast spells, even when they aren’t aimed at them. The godskin enemies are basically hard coded to throw fire at you when you try to heal.
This mechanic got me pissed when I was fighting margit, lol. I knew this was a thing since I played sekiro, but I really didn't expect my first boss to brutally punish me for healing.
I had a time with the golden knight boy in jail where I tested to see if he'd do his lunging thrust if I drank, even if I was considerably outside the attack's range. It is coded that way.
@@BoyMetGirl you know what's misrable my relationships barley lasted a 2 or even a month I'm left in the dust Maybe im just afraid of being happy and im 19 Im looking for a beautiful smart nerdy creative artist and who can cook and is thick If i have to waste half of my golden years just floating like a plastic bag so be it Im 19 and i should have been going to visit Washington with her and she can teach me how to cook When i reflect is not to give a shit what people think there just jealous And i could have beautiful children Communication is key, love doesn't care if you're broke If she's okay with you playing video games so be it And also she sketches dresses And wants to be a lawyer If i made that last i could have had my own personal lawyer girlfriend
Girlfriend sounds like the sort of person who chose her Pokémon based upon how round they are and then proceed to beat the game with them, now uses the same logic for every single game. They are absolutely the best players to help because they absolutely resist the obsessive need to min-max and just have fun while still being willing to learn things that don't sacrifice that.
@@DanielPereira-ey9nt my favorite Pokémon starter chikorita but my favorite Pokémon is heracross. And my favorite weapons in Elden ring are colossal weapons. In other souls just (great) axe/hammer.
I’m totally vibing with her whole “Genocidal Maniac disguised as an Innocent Maiden” look, very chic and elegant yet also badass and colorful, like her.
It's super endearing to hear her jokes! "Love me a boy with poise" "Filthy casuals in your area" "He looks like he's been backstabbed before" She's so funny!
9:20 She is actually correct, it's called Imput Reading, where the enemy AI reacts to your Input. It has been in the game since Dark Souls 2, maybe even in Dark souls 1. There is 2 major forms of this. Heal Catching, where they will do an animation faster than your animation to heal and punish you for trying to heal. They punish you more for this in Elden Ring, cause they time it to hit AFTER you drink the flask, so you lose your charge, AND more HP than before. The other form that was sparse in the other games, but HEAVILY implimented not just in bosses but ALL, or nearly ALL enemies is Roll Catching. Where they time their attacks, and have attacks just long enough, where if you don't roll exactly when the game WANTS you to roll, the enemy will catch and kill you out of the roll.
This girl is a fucking treasure. Never lose her lol. The few snippets of her gameplay are pure awesomeness in terms of energy lmao. Shes definitely playing the game right
12:54 MAN this invader earned my respect Not only did he bow to his intended opponent . BUT HE ALSO BOWED TI THE ONE WHO ENGAGED IN TRUE MAIDENLESS BEHAVIOR TRYING TO KILL HIM OUTTA NOWERE
Regardless of what everyone's said in the replies, that's still no meager feat. I mean I beat my first run (which I started on launch day, so arcane scaling wasn't a thing on a lot of them) with my samurai's initial equipment, which turned out to be perfect for the bleed build I wanted to run anyway.
That moment when y’all were invaded and joked “me and my gf saw you from across the room, we heard you liked strength builds” as both of you beat the tar out of him in synchronized combat was like the cutest gaming couple moment ever! 😆 so funny!
9:11 she's actually right on this, the enemies do have input reading coded in. You can really see this on Malenia when using a slow moving projectile like Ranni's Dark Moon. She'll dodge on the input of the spell, not the impact of it, *every single time*
"She was convinced that some of the bosses are just programmed to wait until you sip a flask and then attack" in a way, all of them are. All bosses and most enemies have one or two attacks they're programmed to use if they're idle whenever you sip. In all Souls games, too.
@@nickoliekeyov746 Most of them don't rag specifically on the reaction, but on the fact that it's done through input-reading. AKA the enemy AI knowing which button you pressed instead of reacting to the animation itself. And honestly I'm not sure why people rag on input reading either, it gives the AI a fighting chance and there are ways to circumvent it.
@@ArtoriasTheme @ArtoriasTheme If links were allowed, I'd give you at least five videos of people getting stabbed by a Black Knight because they will 100% do the running stab if you heal unless you heal while they're in a recovery animation. Or by Ornstein, but he slides instead of running. Also dogs with the running bite. Speaking of dogs, Capra does the forward lunge. Sure basic bitch hollow number 462 won't do that, but they're supposed to be stupid and even then somehow the skeletons do. Most importantly though: that happens if they're in a neutral state when you chug Estus, either standing or walking towards you. If they just finished an attack, there's a short recovery time where they won't react (otherwise healing would be impossible). That is to make it so you need to use the same openings for healing and for attacking, by the way.
Shes right about the AI of enemies. I had to also reprogram myself to literally bait their attacks by mine knowing they react whenever i try to hit. Malenia would walk around, i hit air, she reacts instantly. I knew there and then what i had to expect. Horror lol
Gotta love that around 0:30 the guy is like, aight bet lets go. And the girl is customizing her character. Reminds me of a friend who also gets stuck in character customization for literal hours.
“She was convinced that some of the bosses are programmed to wait until you sip a flask” she is correct, that is literally and exactly how the elden ring bosses are programmed
"My girlfriend doesn't play these games like we do ... For her, the second best attempt is always the first one." I'm pretty sure this is actually the usual experience for most of us haha.
Dude she's absolutely right about them waiting for you to flask, especially. Draconic the sentinel and the godskin boys both do this. You got to bait it, roll, then flask
"for her the second best attempt is always the first one" Not just for her xD That's a surprisingly common trait. "she was convinced that some of the bosses are just programmed to wait until the moment you sip a flask to attack you" And she's correct. Easy to see with the Godskin apostle because the reaction is instantaneous.
yeah that's actually quite obvious, I normally waited out a bit before healing (to wait for the moment when enemy just did an attack that happen to not reach me), but whenever I heal, they start charging at me or range attack, immediately
@@leesasuki When a boss is programmed to attack flask use, I end up using an attack opening for a flask instead. It makes the fight slower, it allows for completely safe flask use.
Also Genichiro in Sekiro used to do that. In his lightining phase he does the jump attack when you heal. I even ended up using it to kill him faster when I was 300 hours into the game ahahah
So "I wanted to ride horses together D:" might be the cutest thing I've heard this week. But I have a question: Did you guys go looking for any of the really infamously difficult optional bosses? And which did you kill?
I found a particularly difficult life stealing one, if that's the one you're asking about. I thought I was pretty thorough in my first playthrough, but I looked up a boss ranking and realized I missed like half the bosses. The game is just so big! My girlfriend did a lot of exploring, but ended up focusing on the main path once she found the capital. Hope this answers your question! And thank you for all your comments, they always make us smile!
Wait a goshdarned minute! Your girlfriend made it all the way to Volcano Manor and got the Ghiza Wheel BEFORE killing Margit?? She might be more hardcore than I am!
9:25 She's right though, I'm a programmer. Granted I dont mod souls games or elden ring and have no knownledge of its code but I'm about 88% sure that's exactly what they do. And looking at other comments I'm now 100% sure lol. Also, that dragonic tree sentinel firebreath is completely bull
Enemies do actually do a specific attack most of the time when you attempt to sip, like when godskins throw fire ball or when the knights do long reach stab to catch you.
God the crucible knights. Fuck the crucible knights. I swear their greatswords have the same phantom range as lothric knight ss in ds3. Favorite enemies to fight. Such a fun challenge
9:12 WHAAT?! This has been an well known fact since DaS1, the enemies 10000% read your flask (or item rather) input to punish you, is not a tin foil hat theory. Exploiting that is what makes possible an ups all Gwyn run in DaS1.
The commitment to blood borne she has while playing Elden Ring to go so far as to to say "Is that Kos?" on the first glance of the Elden Beast is Beautiful.
9:10 Your GF wasn't wrong, they're programmed to do that. If you retreat quickly, they'll often predict if you're going to heal and will do some kind of thrust, jump or ranged attack to stop it. Not every strong foe does it but the two you showcased definitely do. You gotta outplay the bosses read on your moves.
God damn, this is one of the best vids I have seen so far on Elden Ring! Girlfriend is super adorable and hillarious, and your commentary on everything makes it so much better! Keep pumping out more content for sure, you earned yourself a subscriber.
@@BoyMetGirl Would 100% love to see how she takes on invasions/invading other people alone, I feel like that would be a hillarious sight to behold with her commentary on everything
Just found this channel. If you don't already know there's a mod called Seamless Co-op that pretty much fixes all of the problems the base game's co-op has. Would love to see you two do that together, since having two people makes some things easier and other things more difficult. Cherry on top, everyone can ride horses. It also allows 4 people to play together and if the host dies you don't get sent back they just respawn. So if you want more people, I'd be up for joining because addicted isn't even a strong enough term for my feelings towards Elden Ring.
I love this because I’m also a girly girly who is big souls fan. I love elden ring and I can 100% relate to spending a looong time designing my character. I also have several different looks. If she doesn’t already know you should let her know that she can save looks. Also it’s hard to find flattering amour but for something fairly strong and lightweight I suggest the leather set and the nox swordstress set. You have to kill patches to get leather set but luckily my bf had killed him in his game so he gave it to me because I didn’t have the heart to kill patches myself. Malenias set is also one of my favorites but it takes awhile to get since you have to beat Malenia first. As for a stronger amour I recommend the fingerprint set, since it’s missing a shoulder pad it’s more flattering. The black knife set is also a bit feminine but I don’t like bulky shoulders on my character so I don’t usually wear this one. I read somewhere that you loose some defense if not wearing any helm so for my head I usually go with the bandit mask and sometimes I’ll wear the black hood. I’m hoping they put out some more good amour in the expansion pack but we’ll see.
When she downed all of her remaining flasks, before the final phase… i burst out laughing so hard. I could hear the despair in her voice. GG Side note, just found your channel. Excellent video to be introduced on. Keep it up!
She just straight up looks like the better gamer between you two. As a programmer, I can tell you you don't need a degree to see that these enemies are input reading.
I confirmed for myself enemies do infact input read when i kept shooting arrows to a lion that couldnt reach me and It allways dodged just when i started pulling the bow
@@ditchfood8047 Yup. the only difference is that they dont react to buffered inputs (is that what you call it?), like when you heal during a roll, they react to teh flask animation not your button press. But i dont think its really an issue. It just means you have to think about when and where to heal. No different from an aggresive boss. Hell i find healing in malenias second phase more difficult then in her first phase despite her input reading in phase 1. But its way easier to play around then her insane aggrasion in phase 2
Im here cause the man i like is obsessed with elden ring and souls games in general, i just got the game and yall giving me hope fr 😭 luckily he’s been here to help me through it
Because this channel is a carbon copy of Monty Zander and his SO. I also respect the production value of this video and enjoyed it, but for blowing up on UA-cam it needs its own identity. This should not stop you guys from doing what brings you fun though. Keep up the great work!
@@vicarludens I've seen Monty Zander and at least another one of "make my girlfriend play video games" channel, and to be honest I enjoy this one the most. The world should be big enough for several of this kind of channels to co-exist.
15:10 So.she got it. Like she is one of the few people I'm listening expresing what probably they went with this boss. People calling it unfair, bad designed, that didn't make sense. She got it!
9:33 i mean, it is literally how they are programmed. There are times when bosses don't attack and if you try healing they will do something like this right away, thou they have moments where they will not do it and they are quite obvious.
I’m not sure how late the experience will be and whether you guys play on Pc or consoles but the new mod “Seamless Co-op” give you a full co-op experience and allow you guys to summon torrent and bypass the invasion systems unlike the current soul’s online system. Give it a try if you guys are interested in exploring all other ending in Elden Ring.
Your videos are honestly 10/10, its so cool to see how she's gone from you forcing her into playing ds1 up to taurus demon and now she beat elden ring right through. I'll keep trying to convert my girl to a souls enjoyer but i dont have much hope lol.
My wife also insisted on fighting most field bosses on horseback. I figured out you could swing on the left side of the horse pretty early, but I didn't learn until basically the end of my playthrough that you can switch to your left hand weapon on horseback lol.
I hope you guys keep this channel up, you've quickly become one of my favorites. It's just a matter of time and minor luck and I'm sure you'll blow up. :) My girlfriend and I love watching these together!
I really love your guys' videos, it's always a pleasant experience to watch them after a long day. This video single-handedly made me buy Elden Ring, and it's now one of my favorites. Keep up the good work!
I love that you played this on date night. I miss doing dungeon crawls with my partner (normally the only rpg option for 2 players). Noodling around like you guys would be a way more fun version of that.
I've come back to this video multiple times now, it's one of my favorite Elden Ring videos. Girl is so funny, the co-op section is delightful, the music choices are always fantastic and come in at the perfect time. Would love to see a video of Girl exploring the character creators in various games and then rating them (I'm only mostly joking here)
So... My bf played this game all the time and made me join. Can confirm-I also spent 3 hours on the character building! He hates to fight on a horse-I love it so much! Halfway in the video and will already save it to show him as well, haha!
Loved it. These videos are gems, especially as this is both a date-night and a made play. Keep it up, and if you ever organize events in Elden Ring with your viewers, like fight clubs, let us know
So my boyfriend and I have been gamers since we were both little (love me my sly cooper) but his sister has never been into games mostly because they make her motion sick, but I was inspired by your videos to make her play breath of the wild and she really loves it and it’s so fun watching her learn and explore a game I’m an expert at. It gives me a new perspective on it
Seriously. My anxiety goes WAY up whenever I fight those. and I'm a series vet. With 200+ Hours on Elden Ring alone. The dogs still terrify me and I panic every time I fight one.
@@Volkaru Really? How can they make you panic so much? I imagined if anything had that effect on you it would be Liurnian lobsters or the revenants lol
Lmao I like that she's correct about the flask thing. They do have certain attacks they do when u try to heal, specifically designed to hit u before u can dodge
9:10 but they are, though. That fire attack she complains about is one of them. Margit throwing two daggers is another one. Elden Ring bosses are a step up in that they dynamically mix up their combo without it feeling out of place, as if every attack has a choice tree attached to it. This is really cool and makes the fights feel good at any distance with any weapon, it also makes things that are supposedly 'out of combat' feel unfair because it draws you back in. There are some bosses where you just can't disengage to drink, you have to find an opening within the combo that you otherwise would hit them in.
9:08 I’ve had this exact thing happen with me, mostly noticed it while fighting crucible knights, and I’ve tested it with spacing and spam blocking and gestures and everything, they are actually programmed to attack when you sip a flask
0:38 in German he says "Jungferlos" which also could be mistaken with having lost your virginity. And "tarnished" sounds like I am blinded for having done the deed lol. So half of the game I thought this is what they meant, so I needed a maiden that hasn't lost her viginity yet 😂 which sounds very George RR Martin
"You are maidenless"

@@lordnmaster2 It took me 3 days!! That was probably one of the hardest fights in the souls series for me haha
Whats funny is that she did a no armor pizza wheel run with no spirit summons on her first try
Wait a goshdarned minute! Your girlfriend made it all the way to Volcano Manor and got the Ghiza Wheel BEFORE killing Margit?? She might be more hardcore than I am!
9:25 She's right though, I'm a programmer. Granted I dont mod souls games or elden ring and have no knownledge of its code but I'm about 88% sure that's exactly what they do. And looking at other comments I'm now 100% sure lol.
Also, that dragonic tree sentinel firebreath is completely bull
Crap
Enemies do actually do a specific attack most of the time when you attempt to sip, like when godskins throw fire ball or when the knights do long reach stab to catch you.
God the crucible knights. Fuck the crucible knights. I swear their greatswords have the same phantom range as lothric knight ss in ds3. Favorite enemies to fight. Such a fun challenge
8:18 This line had me reeling lol
9:12
WHAAT?! This has been an well known fact since DaS1, the enemies 10000% read your flask (or item rather) input to punish you, is not a tin foil hat theory. Exploiting that is what makes possible an ups all Gwyn run in DaS1.
The commitment to blood borne she has while playing Elden Ring to go so far as to to say "Is that Kos?" on the first glance of the Elden Beast is Beautiful.
9:10 Your GF wasn't wrong, they're programmed to do that. If you retreat quickly, they'll often predict if you're going to heal and will do some kind of thrust, jump or ranged attack to stop it. Not every strong foe does it but the two you showcased definitely do. You gotta outplay the bosses read on your moves.
God damn, this is one of the best vids I have seen so far on Elden Ring! Girlfriend is super adorable and hillarious, and your commentary on everything makes it so much better! Keep pumping out more content for sure, you earned yourself a subscriber.
Thank you :)
@@BoyMetGirl Would 100% love to see how she takes on invasions/invading other people alone, I feel like that would be a hillarious sight to behold with her commentary on everything
@@BoyMetGirl dude seriously! You’ll one day have 100k plus with this type of content! Speaking of which, subbed!
Just found this channel. If you don't already know there's a mod called Seamless Co-op that pretty much fixes all of the problems the base game's co-op has. Would love to see you two do that together, since having two people makes some things easier and other things more difficult. Cherry on top, everyone can ride horses. It also allows 4 people to play together and if the host dies you don't get sent back they just respawn. So if you want more people, I'd be up for joining because addicted isn't even a strong enough term for my feelings towards Elden Ring.
Elden Ring's hype turns out to be real
btw 14:04 That moment is all I've waited for this video. Thanks for sharing your experience again!
It was quite the journey! Thanks for sticking with us along the way :)
Love how she had the wheel for the first boss and I only got it after getting to the godskin duo
9:11 best part about it is to at some bosses are literally programmed to rush you when you are sipping a flask so she isn’t wrong
Its not even the first fromsoft game to do it either so that fact that it exists in this game doesnt surprise me
I love this because I’m also a girly girly who is big souls fan. I love elden ring and I can 100% relate to spending a looong time designing my character. I also have several different looks. If she doesn’t already know you should let her know that she can save looks. Also it’s hard to find flattering amour but for something fairly strong and lightweight I suggest the leather set and the nox swordstress set. You have to kill patches to get leather set but luckily my bf had killed him in his game so he gave it to me because I didn’t have the heart to kill patches myself. Malenias set is also one of my favorites but it takes awhile to get since you have to beat Malenia first. As for a stronger amour I recommend the fingerprint set, since it’s missing a shoulder pad it’s more flattering. The black knife set is also a bit feminine but I don’t like bulky shoulders on my character so I don’t usually wear this one. I read somewhere that you loose some defense if not wearing any helm so for my head I usually go with the bandit mask and sometimes I’ll wear the black hood. I’m hoping they put out some more good amour in the expansion pack but we’ll see.
When she downed all of her remaining flasks, before the final phase… i burst out laughing so hard. I could hear the despair in her voice. GG
Side note, just found your channel. Excellent video to be introduced on. Keep it up!
2:52 "aww these guys are cute" slams it in the face with an axe
She's freaking good at this game.
Girl's commentary is also hilarious. I'd love to see you two stream.
She just straight up looks like the better gamer between you two. As a programmer, I can tell you you don't need a degree to see that these enemies are input reading.
Agreed… him talking himself up in the beginning of the video had me rolling my eyes, lol
I confirmed for myself enemies do infact input read when i kept shooting arrows to a lion that couldnt reach me and It allways dodged just when i started pulling the bow
A big reason why elden ring isnt a 10/10. Could argue a 9.9 but definitely not a 10.
Also according to someone who was testing this, they dont input read, they animation read. Which still the same level of bs.
@@ditchfood8047 Yup. the only difference is that they dont react to buffered inputs (is that what you call it?), like when you heal during a roll, they react to teh flask animation not your button press.
But i dont think its really an issue. It just means you have to think about when and where to heal. No different from an aggresive boss. Hell i find healing in malenias second phase more difficult then in her first phase despite her input reading in phase 1. But its way easier to play around then her insane aggrasion in phase 2
Im here cause the man i like is obsessed with elden ring and souls games in general, i just got the game and yall giving me hope fr 😭 luckily he’s been here to help me through it
OH MY GOD she is so funny. "After removing bridge from oven" ahahahhahahaha
Honestly, your girlfriend is so funny... What she said about "a man with poise" and "or some say... Kosm" had me in stitches! Great video :D
You guys are so damn adorable. Why this channel hasn't blown up is something I don't understand.
Because this channel is a carbon copy of Monty Zander and his SO.
I also respect the production value of this video and enjoyed it, but for blowing up on UA-cam it needs its own identity.
This should not stop you guys from doing what brings you fun though.
Keep up the great work!
@@vicarludens I've seen Monty Zander and at least another one of "make my girlfriend play video games" channel, and to be honest I enjoy this one the most. The world should be big enough for several of this kind of channels to co-exist.
Wearing the death maiden dress in final boss fight is impressive. That thing has got zero protection stats
15:10 So.she got it. Like she is one of the few people I'm listening expresing what probably they went with this boss. People calling it unfair, bad designed, that didn't make sense. She got it!
it’s so cool to compare how you two tackled the game so differently. Loved this video!
I watch other girlfriend review channels and things like that but your content feels so fresh. Seriously underrated!
Ronin already mentioned it, yet I can only agree that Taryn's Dress 'n Pizza Cutter Build is so cool.
9:33 i mean, it is literally how they are programmed. There are times when bosses don't attack and if you try healing they will do something like this right away, thou they have moments where they will not do it and they are quite obvious.
I’m not sure how late the experience will be and whether you guys play on Pc or consoles but the new mod “Seamless Co-op” give you a full co-op experience and allow you guys to summon torrent and bypass the invasion systems unlike the current soul’s online system. Give it a try if you guys are interested in exploring all other ending in Elden Ring.
Man the editing style is so chill but both of you are so funny! You two are so underrated.
Your videos are honestly 10/10, its so cool to see how she's gone from you forcing her into playing ds1 up to taurus demon and now she beat elden ring right through. I'll keep trying to convert my girl to a souls enjoyer but i dont have much hope lol.
I gotta say I was super impressed with her first time dodging the elden beast sword swing. Also this is a hard game. Your girlfriend is a gamer.
DUDE....She's natural ...the way That She Dodged Elden Beast Ranged Attack OMG !!!!
Nice Content🤟🤟🤟
The production value on this is absolutely amazing
Your girlfriend handles the Calid dogs better than 90% of the player base. Props.
caelid lmfao you saw it in the game like 20 times
Ok but she’s absolutely right about that hard programmed flask reaction thing - godskin apostle does it too
My wife also insisted on fighting most field bosses on horseback. I figured out you could swing on the left side of the horse pretty early, but I didn't learn until basically the end of my playthrough that you can switch to your left hand weapon on horseback lol.
I hope you guys keep this channel up, you've quickly become one of my favorites. It's just a matter of time and minor luck and I'm sure you'll blow up. :)
My girlfriend and I love watching these together!
That's awesome! We always hoped other couples would find our videos! :D
Ikr
@@BoyMetGirl oww.... That hurt xDD
@@imtrash2812 This channel's audience seems to be 20% couples and 80% single gamers.
2:53 "these guys are cute"
process to execute it like a pro
Your girlfriends is way better at the game than I expected from the video title and I love the jokes.
Nice video!
0:32 I like how while boy starts playing the game girl is still on character customization like me lol
You two are hilarious! And I love how her character has the dress for last fight she could care less about armor stats lol
she "could" care less? meaning she cares at least a little bit?
I really love your guys' videos, it's always a pleasant experience to watch them after a long day. This video single-handedly made me buy Elden Ring, and it's now one of my favorites. Keep up the good work!
This is a very fun vid! The fact that your girlfriend asked ''Is that Kos?'' made me just ''yep imma sub and drop a like''
Iyeaaaahaaa filthy cassuals in your area really cracked me up! :D
I love that you played this on date night. I miss doing dungeon crawls with my partner (normally the only rpg option for 2 players). Noodling around like you guys would be a way more fun version of that.
Good job, I couldn't get my dad to play further than Chapel of Anticipation.
I've come back to this video multiple times now, it's one of my favorite Elden Ring videos. Girl is so funny, the co-op section is delightful, the music choices are always fantastic and come in at the perfect time.
Would love to see a video of Girl exploring the character creators in various games and then rating them (I'm only mostly joking here)
So... My bf played this game all the time and made me join. Can confirm-I also spent 3 hours on the character building! He hates to fight on a horse-I love it so much! Halfway in the video and will already save it to show him as well, haha!
Loved it. These videos are gems, especially as this is both a date-night and a made play.
Keep it up, and if you ever organize events in Elden Ring with your viewers, like fight clubs, let us know
Thank you! That sounds hilarious, we hadn't even thought of doing something like that! xD
Boyfriend: I think I’d be more of a hinderance.
Girlfriend: I’d be more of a hinderance.
So my boyfriend and I have been gamers since we were both little (love me my sly cooper) but his sister has never been into games mostly because they make her motion sick, but I was inspired by your videos to make her play breath of the wild and she really loves it and it’s so fun watching her learn and explore a game I’m an expert at. It gives me a new perspective on it
10:38
FS: Sorry, no couples riding Torrent into a sunset
Seamless Co-op: Let me please introduce myself! I'm a man of wealth and taste!
9:30 you do realize that the AI reads your animations right, meaning she's not coping about enemies attacking when she uses her flask. She's right.
Your gf is actually a badass lol. Stance breaks and crits a dog, "Aw these guys are so cute". LOL
Seriously. My anxiety goes WAY up whenever I fight those. and I'm a series vet. With 200+ Hours on Elden Ring alone. The dogs still terrify me and I panic every time I fight one.
@@Volkaru Really? How can they make you panic so much? I imagined if anything had that effect on you it would be Liurnian lobsters or the revenants lol
@@sugoi9680 I usually play mages, their aggression make it tough to get even basic casts off.
@@Volkaru Glintstone pebble comes out pretty fast no?
0:46 "The real Elden Ring is the stuff we learned along the way"
Lmao I like that she's correct about the flask thing. They do have certain attacks they do when u try to heal, specifically designed to hit u before u can dodge
this video is excellent. And your maiden is absolutely adorable and hilarious! Glad you enjoyed the game as much as me and my boyfriend do! :D
your girl played as str build? she's got more balls than 50% of maidenless in lands between
This was so cute to see. I loved seeing both of yall play. I'll have this someday :) I know it. You both are so wholesome. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻
9:10 but they are, though. That fire attack she complains about is one of them. Margit throwing two daggers is another one. Elden Ring bosses are a step up in that they dynamically mix up their combo without it feeling out of place, as if every attack has a choice tree attached to it. This is really cool and makes the fights feel good at any distance with any weapon, it also makes things that are supposedly 'out of combat' feel unfair because it draws you back in. There are some bosses where you just can't disengage to drink, you have to find an opening within the combo that you otherwise would hit them in.
3:02 Wtf, you just perfectly described my experience with any boss in Souls-likes o-o
5:14 now this... this puts a smile on my gace
9:08 I’ve had this exact thing happen with me, mostly noticed it while fighting crucible knights, and I’ve tested it with spacing and spam blocking and gestures and everything, they are actually programmed to attack when you sip a flask
0:38 in German he says "Jungferlos" which also could be mistaken with having lost your virginity. And "tarnished" sounds like I am blinded for having done the deed lol. So half of the game I thought this is what they meant, so I needed a maiden that hasn't lost her viginity yet 😂 which sounds very George RR Martin
