Mate insane video. Incredible you were able to get all this information out of a 3 hour preview. Meanwhile I spent one of my three hours dying on a single boss.
Given that I previously made a whole-ass new character specifically to use the Knight's Greatsword and its smooth-as-f**k two-handed moveset, I'm stoked!

"About the size of Limgrave" my ass. If the over 100 new weapons tells me anything is that this DLC is going to be at least a third of the size of the base game, and that's honestly insane. It is warranted though, given the development time similar to that of Dark Souls 3. God, every day that goes by without this DLC hurts!
He said that he and the others were able to test what they assumed was a map about the size of limgrave. They probably limited the map. He didnt say that the entire dlc was the size of limgrave.

Particularly your focus on all the weapons and the numbers. That's exactly the information I want to know the most, before jumping in, the rest is to be saved for own experience. Thanks for that.
I looked up the leveling system its like Sekiro instead of fighting bosses you explore the dlc to get the item that makes you stronger like the golden seeds

Honestly a great weapon that isn’t OP is the Knights Great Sword. It has a unique move set compared to say claymore for example. I use it on my int build and it’s a lot of fun mixing the melee hits in with the carian sword spells like piercer, slicer, ect. Strong build that’s not OP and requires some learning in terms of combos you can pull off mixing everything together Edit : prob best to just go NG+ with your latest character so you can go in with all the weapons/ spells you’d like to give more attention to. If doing a new character try a sword and board type character focusing on guard counters and using the shield more than just always rolling. It slows down the play style, still very strong but not OP, and honestly a lot of fun with all the stance damage you deal with the counters.
good for you man. glad you got the opportunity because you genuinely deserve it. the depth you’ve broken this game down to deserves to be rewarded and i’m glad fromsoft agreed
Good, massively busted damage just makes the game boring, you shit on everything way too quickly and don't get to actually enjoy fighting them. It gets boring pretty quickly, stuff that does moderate damage is a lot more fun imo.
@masqueradis6925 I mean those options are already in the game. The problem is that, besides Knight Lightning or whatever, most of this sounds like the kind of stuff you just ignore because it's nether unique nor good. Another flavor of stealth glintstone, in case the color scheme of your character clashes with deep purple, and you'd really rather that blue and black fade?
congratulations on being acknowledged by FromSoft 🙏 and really awesome of your part to do a preview only about equipment, since I and I assume many others would rather experience explorarion and lore blind when the dlc releases. All of the weapons and spells look so damn cool, I want to use all of it already. The light greatsword moveset is absolutely amazing. All of the new weapon classes are really interesting to me, except maybe the thrusting shields. The ashes of war and spells are really cool as well (although that glintstone nails spells looks like it's just glintstone stars but with different color). Shame to hear some of these spells suck, but there's probably many more, hope there's a good variety of flashy and good (with preference with these two overlapping, lol). I really like that with the spells they're taking the approach of expanding the existant spell classes. I was afraid they would just focus on creating new spell categories, but there's new gravity, servants of rot, lightning, aspects of the crucible already. I love that so much. Gravity really needed more spells, that black hole is a such a good idea. I'm hoping for more black flame, thorn sorceries and blood flame.
I wish I wasn't spoiled on the existence of that... certain twin boss alluded on this video, thankfully there's no footage of that boss. And hopefully that's the last thing I get spoiled on.
I know I might be alone on this but i'm so exited for the hand to hand weapons. This is what I wished hand weapons were like since day one. This is an honest question, but as a guy who has more than 200 hours in each from soft game. What is the actual point of maximizing attacks or builds when a boss can be beaten with anything. I get that its fun to be op but I don't get why the community is so attached to what is the best. For me its always been what looks the coolest, nothing else matters.
For me it’s always been the natural drive to improve my character bit by bit and it’s nice to feel powerful and not put yourself through extra hardship. Especially because a lot of people might not particularly care what a build visually looks like there’s not much else to base your choices on than strength. And the fact they lock off so much of the powerful equipment away with challenges gives ya something to do and pursue

@@launchbase4944 I once had a bunch of online friends from all the souls games I played. But when Elden ring came out it’s like they changed. They started being really toxic to anyone who wasn’t using the perfect builds or doing the most damage. I really didn’t get it and I ghosted them because it wasn’t fun anymore. Now I feel like the rest of the community is going in the same direction. Maybe that’s the small minority but I haven’t played online since
People just get too obsessed with such things, which is sad. I get it for PvP but most people don't care for engaging with that (Elden Ring sorta butchered it anyway compared to DS3). Mods like Elden Ring Reforged on PC do a great job by making just about everything balanced and making it possible to use just about anything and do well with careful planning, but the vast majority of people on PC won't play such a major overhaul mod like that (even if it is better in about every way), and many others just don't have that choice. So they're stuck with the vanilla game, and in the vanilla game cheese builds and such are a lot more prevalent and tempting. I think that's okay to a point - player-modulated difficulty is a staple of these games - but when it leads people to actively avoiding a lot of fun stuff because it isn't "optimal" that's unfortunate.
Were there any new infusion types from what you could see? We could use a lightning equivalent to Flame Art, and maybe a split INT/FAITH infusion. Also hoping one of those new "beast claw" weapons is a dragon-themed claw that scales with Arcane or Faith/Arcane, for synergy with the dragon communion spells.
Hopefully the dlc is good. I'm not going to get my hopes up too much till I get in and play. It's gonna be hard to match the bar that Elden Ring brought.
I was only half paying attention until Youwy started talking about the deflect crystal tear... looks like I'll be doing a guard counter light greatsword build. Tbh though I kinda wish the new deflects was a universal mechanic for all weapons and small shields. This would help give small shields a niche besides just being a parry tool, and even then theres no reason to use small shields over golden/carrian retalation. And in this scenario the crystal tear could still give the dmg boost to guard counters, or maybe give the deflect slightly more active frames.
Seeing Fromsoftware learn from other Soulslike games like Lies of P, Lords of the fallen and Mortal Shell (With the attack combos and throwable weapons) is really interesting
Dude this looks nuts. Miyazaki is like a god tier game designer. Truly a behemoth in the industry. I cant fucking wait.😭 You are one the best youtubers by far. Love your videos dude ! 😬
STOOOOP!! its literally the 4th god damn video of someone trying the dlc early the tentation is high i might have to go dark for these whole 3 weeks at this point 🙏😭
I think from what I’ve heard, the fire knights greatsword is going to be one of my favourites. I’m mainly hoping for a cool new colossal weapon as well as a few new scythes
Im most excited for the Perfume bottles. In fantasy, there are two things I love above all: Magic, and Alchemy. I've had plenty of time to enjoy all Elden Rings magic, now Im ready to be an an Alchemist. Being Alchemists, Im sure that we're gonna get Bottles that have different status effect damage types. The Fire/explosive ones will likely be the "default", with Frost, Poison, and probably Scarlet Rot being variants.
Thanks for letting us know about elemental weapons I'm doing faith/int for the dlc and its nice to know there's weapons for both stats I hated sword of knight and flame but a light greatsword with magic and fire sounds awesome I'm coming in with Blasphemous blade and darkmoon greatsword but hoping there's some new really unique elemental weapons for faith and int too
Light greatswords look so sick I didnthave a moveset that clicked with me in elden ring like in the others but I am pretty sure light greatswords will be it

Looking at some of those weapons, and that Rennala's Cameo...I guess someone finally realized the true, peanut butter+chocolate combo of Dark Souls and Nioh 2.
The stance talisman means a definite nerf to unsheathe and transient moonlight where their base damage is nerfed and to get the pre nerf damage you have use up another talisman slot.
Damn no wings for crucible knight builds, it seems unless we find a way to put it on the thorn shield or something ;-; great video, tho! I'm looking forward to playing!

For me it’s always been the natural drive to improve my character bit by bit and it’s nice to feel powerful and not put yourself through extra hardship. Especially because a lot of people might not particularly care what a build visually looks like there’s not much else to base your choices on than strength. And the fact they lock off so much of the powerful equipment away with challenges gives ya something to do and pursue

@@launchbase4944 I once had a bunch of online friends from all the souls games I played. But when Elden ring came out it’s like they changed. They started being really toxic to anyone who wasn’t using the perfect builds or doing the most damage. I really didn’t get it and I ghosted them because it wasn’t fun anymore. Now I feel like the rest of the community is going in the same direction. Maybe that’s the small minority but I haven’t played online since
People just get too obsessed with such things, which is sad. I get it for PvP but most people don't care for engaging with that (Elden Ring sorta butchered it anyway compared to DS3).
Mods like Elden Ring Reforged on PC do a great job by making just about everything balanced and making it possible to use just about anything and do well with careful planning, but the vast majority of people on PC won't play such a major overhaul mod like that (even if it is better in about every way), and many others just don't have that choice.
So they're stuck with the vanilla game, and in the vanilla game cheese builds and such are a lot more prevalent and tempting. I think that's okay to a point - player-modulated difficulty is a staple of these games - but when it leads people to actively avoiding a lot of fun stuff because it isn't "optimal" that's unfortunate.
Someone else mentioned there is Arcane Knot Crystal tear from Giant fire boss so I guess they will be like Erdtree Avatars
Bro you put together the perfect video i needed.. thanks!
Were there any new infusion types from what you could see? We could use a lightning equivalent to Flame Art, and maybe a split INT/FAITH infusion.
Also hoping one of those new "beast claw" weapons is a dragon-themed claw that scales with Arcane or Faith/Arcane, for synergy with the dragon communion spells.
whenever you want incredible detail, come to youwy. great work man
Hopefully the dlc is good. I'm not going to get my hopes up too much till I get in and play. It's gonna be hard to match the bar that Elden Ring brought.
ty for the no spoiler review apreciate it, already bought the dlc, miyazaki delivers as always
I appreciate you so much not covering any story spoilers. As long as I don’t see story spoilers, I’m fine learning other things lol
Really excited for the reverse hand swords. They just look super cool
Thank you for keeping spoilers to a minimum really nice for people who want to experience it blind
I was only half paying attention until Youwy started talking about the deflect crystal tear... looks like I'll be doing a guard counter light greatsword build.
Tbh though I kinda wish the new deflects was a universal mechanic for all weapons and small shields. This would help give small shields a niche besides just being a parry tool, and even then theres no reason to use small shields over golden/carrian retalation. And in this scenario the crystal tear could still give the dmg boost to guard counters, or maybe give the deflect slightly more active frames.
that or make the deflect a talisman
Seeing Fromsoftware learn from other Soulslike games like Lies of P, Lords of the fallen and Mortal Shell (With the attack combos and throwable weapons) is really interesting
Your dedication paid off
Damn! I'm so hyped! Thanks for the breakdown of some of things we can expect in the dlc Youwy!
Dude this looks nuts.
Miyazaki is like a god tier game designer. Truly a behemoth in the industry.
I cant fucking wait.😭
You are one the best youtubers by far. Love your videos dude ! 😬
STOOOOP!! its literally the 4th god damn video of someone trying the dlc early the tentation is high i might have to go dark for these whole 3 weeks at this point 🙏😭
I think from what I’ve heard, the fire knights greatsword is going to be one of my favourites. I’m mainly hoping for a cool new colossal weapon as well as a few new scythes
That Gravity Sorcery looks cool. Light Greatswords really do look badass in how smooth they are.
Dude this looks genuinely incredible
Im most excited for the Perfume bottles. In fantasy, there are two things I love above all: Magic, and Alchemy. I've had plenty of time to enjoy all Elden Rings magic, now Im ready to be an an Alchemist. Being Alchemists, Im sure that we're gonna get Bottles that have different status effect damage types. The Fire/explosive ones will likely be the "default", with Frost, Poison, and probably Scarlet Rot being variants.
Thanks for letting us know about elemental weapons I'm doing faith/int for the dlc and its nice to know there's weapons for both stats I hated sword of knight and flame but a light greatsword with magic and fire sounds awesome I'm coming in with Blasphemous blade and darkmoon greatsword but hoping there's some new really unique elemental weapons for faith and int too
It’s beautiful
Light greatswords look so sick I didnthave a moveset that clicked with me in elden ring like in the others but I am pretty sure light greatswords will be it
Thank you for going spoiler free. I trusted Vaati and he started dropping spoilers left and right.
THE CUT CONTENT ARMOR LET'S GOOOO
Honestly appreciate this vid so much. Everything else ive seen seems riddled with spoilers, so im going to be listening (not watching the footage lol) on repeat
Glad to see you getting recognized for all your hard work.
Amazing coverage man, you did really well
would be so cool if relanna's cameo talisman would make a small glint on the weapon to identicate when its active
Ive made dedicated guard counter builds with all weapons so hearing they added a tear for it is cool.
So great katana is just an odachi,got it
Fromsoft acknowledged our boy😭😭🤧
This is the exact video i was lookng for. I just wanted to know the weapon types, thank you!
Omfg it actually looks so cool, I’m hyped
Youwy made it!!! it makes me so proud for no reason 😢. Our yapp king
happy for you fr, fromsoft co-sign is sick to see. yapping has its benefits
Glad to see our guy got an early look. Not watching this now, but bookmarking it to come back to in about a month 😉
10:54 ASTORA GREATSWORD ASTORA GREATSWORD ASTORA GREATSWORD I CANNOT BREATHE 😭
Thank you so much for making such a comprehensive breakdown of everything
Wow just got the ps5 upgrade for this game for free on PS since I already owned the ps4 disc version, right on time fot this dlc 😍 time to preorder
Milady & more lighting spells, hell yeah!
Congrats dude!!!
Most excited about that wide brimmed hat
Now I just have to hope for more sleeveless chest armor...
@@NeutralDrow ditto

Trying to figure out if you're just a weeb, or secretly plotting to make the Dragon Reborn kneel before the Crystal Throne... 😡
@@NeutralDrow a need this hat and a badass spear to finish my cosplay 😉
@@seanchan4478 _Ooooooooohh_
Sorry, Prince of Ravens, sir, didn't mean to insult your wife. 😳
Amazing job! Great video like always
Looking at some of those weapons, and that Rennala's Cameo...I guess someone finally realized the true, peanut butter+chocolate combo of Dark Souls and Nioh 2.
Man, I’m so excited to use the martial arts weapons. Thank you for telling us what they scale with, imma go make a Dex character and rush down Mohg
Yeah, the moment i saw light longsword I know I will love it. Finally a sword that doesn't have a move set like an iron cub.
Congrats my dude!
W Youwy, I accept no stream last night now
The stance talisman means a definite nerf to unsheathe and transient moonlight where their base damage is nerfed and to get the pre nerf damage you have use up another talisman slot.
am more glad that bandi supported youwy than watching the dlc
This is the only DLC I have ever been excited for... Bamco nandai knows whats up
My goat hit the big leagues 😭
Damn no wings for crucible knight builds, it seems unless we find a way to put it on the thorn shield or something ;-; great video, tho! I'm looking forward to playing!
My favorite souls yapper got recognized my Michael zaki, congrats!
Youwy, From is edging us like crazy with this content
That censored twinblade is probably the weapon that was cut out from the base game, vaati vidya has talked about it in his miquella lore video.
Oh shit, since this is Miquella's dlc it makes sense that we find it here! Nice catch!
I can only imagine what will happen in the PVP with these weapon classes. It's going to be fireworks. Also i was hyped about the great katana ( still i am) but this new hybrid light great sword might have stolen my heart.
Man I am so happy I am alive to experience this. We are getting spoiled man i love it
The game looks awesome. So ready for it.
Me: i don't want to play with you anymore *throws away knight's greatsword in favour of light greatswords
Gonna be hard coming back to the base game weapons after this lol
