If you want to know the lore reason why there are ghostly black knights just before fighting them, feel free to listen to the song "Lordvessel" by Tanooki Suit. It pretty much explains all you need to know about the lore :)
@@qwirkt do they not care about their recent games? literally every game they've put out has been phenomenal. DA trilogy, armored core series, bb, Elden Ring, they're all great
Wrath of The Gods and Emit Force are both extremely underrated. Faith is stupidly viable, it just takes a long time to get set up, which you can do thanks to the extra healing you get.
It just takes really long before you can obtain any of these. Lightning spear is cool, but you need 25 faith and access to sunlight altar, offensive miracles isn't really an option early game, if you don't do your setup right
Honestly Pyromancy takes even longer to set-up due to every fucking pyro teacher being behind a boss. One of them being a big nope sience... its Capra Demon and going there with unupgraded gear is just a bad idea.
WOG is probably the only viable miracle for PvP, it's not as good in PvE, but still good. Faith is very viable, and you can use a divine weapon to have a melee option too. Just get the requirements for like a claymore, and all the dmg comes from FTH. Also Sunlight/Darkmoon blade with a straight sword is pretty good.
This was a very well done video! You had me laughing pretty much the whole way through, and those moments where you let the cutscenes play out in all their glory were awesome. Honestly, I've been starting to get bored watching playthroughs of these games, but this one was a joy to watch. It made me very happy. Also, that message at the end was beautiful. Thank you, and I hope you're doing well too.
I love the video. I am a faith fan myself. Always grabbing lightning bolt and sunlight blade. Homeward is great for intense farming for souls or titanite shards. At least that's what I use it for due to the typical RPG gotta save these consumables for when I really need them. Keep up the great work.
I know its a day late and a dollar short, but you can get the great lightning spear from the Sun Bros covenant, and you can farm sunlight medals from the maggots in the Izalith shortcut.
Petrus only kills Rhea if you kill a boss or two before talking to her in the Parish. Edit: Also, impressive doing Bed of Chaos without quitting out. Edit 2: You don’t have to die to Kalameet to get Gough to shoot him down, just drop down or go down the ladder, than use a homeward bone.
Ah, I remember my first playthrough Perry’s killed her before I got WOG so I was so mad lol also yeah I thought I’d die to chaos but luckily did it all in one attempt
Velka's Talisman and the Gravelord miracles is funny. The Gravelord miracles have no faith requirement, so you can just whip out a powerful miracle on your sorcery build, catch other players off guard
If you take the master key you can grab the Astora Straight Sword immediately, which is a great early game divine weapon. It makes short work of all the early enemies, and can even make doing Pinwheel early viable (because the catacombs are less of a pain; still not great because of the bonewheels though). Sadly Paladin Leeroy will not invade until after you get the Lordvessel (at least, he didn't for me) so there is no point in doing the Tomb of the Giants until you need to rescue Reah.
Also, you can stagger the Taurus Demon in two R1s from the Zweihander, which is part of why it's my go-to weapon regardless of what build I'm doing. You only need 16 strength to two-hand it, and it has bad scaling, so there really isn't much commitment involved. (Alternatively, the Claymore is comparable but needs only 11 strength to two-hand, and is nearly half the weight. Its moveset is also a good bit faster.) Technically having a faster weapon like the Estoc or Falchion is better for casting Sunlight Blade/Magic Weapon on, but for giving ascensions the big base damage of the Zweihander goes a long way as far as overcoming the weakness of split damage.
the problem with this kind of content is either the video is too short and the strategy/thought process is not shown, or the video is too long and every single step taken in the game is shown. your videos is somehow the mixture between these two extremes. i enjoyed it very much! one more subscriber 😅 and by the way you just convinced me to do a cleric run. thanks!
Great video, entertaining without being over the top and still remaining informative, but my only complaint is that you've gotta up the bitrate of your game recording if possible, because there were times that the screen was so pixelated that it was like watching a 140p video
when lord gwynn left to rekindle the first flame a thousand years ago, he took half of his knights with him. when he used his body as kindling the explosion charred his army black, and those who did not survive carry on as spirits, still loyal to their lord
Lighting and WOG are so good! Still think demon souls second chance is one of the best in the franchise and since the enemies are easier in that game dying seems much less common
I came back tot his video, and commented for the algo. One other observation, I was surprised you didn't go for Great Lightning Spear. You just needed 10 sunlight medals to give to the Sunlight covenant which you can get from the maggots, which I'm sure you know.
Second comment, I'm surprised you didn't put points into Dexterity so that you can cast faster. Even if it's only a bit faster, that's a big difference and better than base casting speed.
I don't like that fact that if you're playing offline, then you either need 25 faith, or make it through Anor Londo before getting an offensive miracle.
Thanks for making videos and providing entertainment and for caring about everyone. By the way, you didn't get Gravelord dance!!! Lol. I mean, it isn't very good lol, but it is a super easy to get offensive miracle.
I know lightning spear is 25 Faith. But you can reduce the cost by 5 for every time you get summoned as a sun bro. I got lightning spear with just 15 faith.
I chose the wrong class and invested too much in different areas...now im level 66 (i think) and the grind was real just to get to lvl15 in faith, but I want (hell, probably need) that level 25 😢 Nito is an ass with the wrong loadout...
Really enjoyed the video, but one thing that bothered me is that you went to the Catacombs without a Divine weapon, despite playing a FTH character! You even got the Divine ember after the Moonlight Butterfly boss fight. Could also downgrade the Occult club to a +5 Divine club or use the Silver Knight Spear, which has a hidden effect that permanently kills the skeletons. Honestly, it's a low-level zone and isn't very difficult for a veteran player, just kinda weird not to use it.
57:04 they're called chained prisioner I iirc. Fun fact: they cannot stagger by light attacks of smaller weapons, even when you drop their poise to 0. You need to use heavy attacks to stagger them
faith is the most fun for play But, if you know game. You dont pick in starter, midnigh crown, for more damage on miracles, and drake roar ring, sell de soccer you rescue in first Zone. This rong and crow you got 85% more damage you got

So sad that you didn't get Great Lightning by giving 10 Sunlight Medals in the Warrior of Sunlight covenant.
Wrath of The Gods and Emit Force are both extremely underrated. Faith is stupidly viable, it just takes a long time to get set up, which you can do thanks to the extra healing you get.
WOG is honestly kinda stupid lol. so much damage in NO time! and i prefer lightning spear but emit force was nice to run!
They might be underrated in pve but when ds1 was first released emit force was used in every pvp build there was. Everyone was spamming it

That intro music is a remix of Baby Hotline by Jack Stauber. I barely recognized it. Sounds kinda cool
Oh thanks! yeah tried to make it fit in with the intro
Very viable. Can’t use lightning on gwyn, but by then you have enough miracles to make it work
You can, but why? Wog is faster and you can finish him off with a melee weapon that scales with your faith (dark and divine weapons)
Petrus only kills Rhea if you kill a boss or two before talking to her in the Parish.
Edit: Also, impressive doing Bed of Chaos without quitting out.
Edit 2: You don’t have to die to Kalameet to get Gough to shoot him down, just drop down or go down the ladder, than use a homeward bone.

1:03:02 you don’t have to be killed by Kalameet, you just have to see him fly by once you enter his arena. It works for me
Oh I just let that man have my soul in case he had to kill ya but good to know!
Nice video dude, and do I hear Crash TWoC music? Very nice!
Oh hell yeah you do! goated OST

Word of advice: Gwyn is basically immune to lightning so have a good weapon to back up
@ thanks bud
@@HidanKan you're welcome
I’ll try to keep this style of content up! My ds2 video might be even longer but I’ll try to keep everything necessary 🫡
Fun fact, the bloated hollows in the painted world don’t toxic you if you kill them with a fire weapon, in case you have to melee them.

Upped the bitrate for my next video on DS3 so it'll look better! Thank you for telling me!

surprised you didnt level dex to atleast 25 or 45 for the casting speed bonus, banger vid either way
very nice video bro
Thanks bro! 🙏
Pretty good advices in the video, maybe i try a miracle run sometimes.
I have only one critic: the video quality shat itself around centipede demon.
Besides Elden Ring, this game probably has the strongest miracles.
Lighting and WOG are so good! Still think demon souls second chance is one of the best in the franchise and since the enemies are easier in that game dying seems much less common

Finally a run without running and getting fire keeper souls and breaking the game
Second comment, I'm surprised you didn't put points into Dexterity so that you can cast faster. Even if it's only a bit faster, that's a big difference and better than base casting speed.
I did but during my livestreams. I was tempted to do it again but i didn't have it in me lol
PTSD over black knight sword runs 🗡️
I don't like that fact that if you're playing offline, then you either need 25 faith, or make it through Anor Londo before getting an offensive miracle.
Yeah and if I didn't look it up I wouldn't know. in these games you really need this info to make them good right off the bat
