mannn, last year i tried zweihander full charged atk only run in ds3, it didnt end well, now i realize it would have worked nice if ds3 had rally mechanic. meanwhile in ds1 u can just curbstomp steamroll through the game with zweihanders heavy charged attacks. nice video, stoked to watch this whole
Really cool to see both you and Lemon pop up in his chat. Ya love to see the support. Not sure what made me find you initially (meaning algorithm, Lemon mentioning you, or Press mentioning you), but I've really enjoyed going through your past videos. Keep up the good work, fella.
@@overlorddante This is coming from a Fleming so it's rather obvious to me he's dutch(and by dutch I mean he's from the Netherlands). Dutch people speaking English always sound the same. He actually sounds incredibly similar to Grubby.(esport player)
54:20 It looks like Orphan might have briefly entered a falling animation after his hitbox passed the rock below him, possibly cancelling his current attack and allowing him to immediately cycle into a new attack.
Was thinking this exactly, you see him start the triple stomp, then the arms go up for the falling animation, slight model adjust pause and afterwards he starts the new attack
I guess crushing damage is meant to be hunter and human enemies only since it has the flatting but still shame how a whole damage type is way worse then any other ones
Although in the end I never felt like my damage output was too low. So it's worse on paper than in practice. But yeah it's kinda weird how blunt damage was treated in this game.
@@PressContinue I'm not sure if it's true but I remember hearing that blunt damage increases rally a long time ago. I can't find anything about it online but if it does that would make sense to sacrifice damage output for increased healing.
@@zacharyzurawski5516 I don't know if this applies to all blunt weapons, but at the very least the kirkhammer and hunter's axe have really high rally potential. So yes there might be a connection there
@@PressContinue I used the Wheel a lot and it doesn't seem to have a ton of rally potential, at least in its tricked form. I usually ran it Arc or Vit gouge with flat Arc gems so I didn't use the untricked form a whole lot, maybe it rallied better since more of the damage was blunt instead of arcane.
It seems that I will be dragged into doing most of your challenge runs, and that is the way I am going to appreciate all the hard work you put in making these videos. Keep it up !
The follow up on the Kirkhammer's heavy attack may be the most satisfying attack to land in the whole game. There's nothing better than sending a large beast flying away from you, dealing massive damage in the process.
i love the axe for two reasons spin to win knocks almost everything away and you can spin them to death and the second is that it has the highest rally potential meaning the spin becomes an easy way to regain health
53:54 What I think happened was Orphan stumbled on some rocks. More specifically, Orphan initiated a forward pounding attack, but moved to a position where he couldn't reach the ground and entered for a split second a falling animation, after which he began a side swiping attack.
I’m amazed at the level of effort you put in to not only the challenge runs themselves but the editing and the jokes and all the nuances. I really appreciate these kinds of videos and I appreciate the time you put in to making this very good.
Hey man, I'm here in your most recent video to say thank you. Just finished my first DS3 SL1 run, credits are rolling right now. I knew I had the skills but not the knowledge to go through it, your guide of how to survive first DS3 SL1 run helped me a lot, it took me 4 days to beat it and I feel like we became friends while I was playing and watching your guide. Greetings from Russas - CE - Brasil. Hope you doing well!
PC, you are one of the best challenge runners on this platform. Your humor is something that seperates you from the rest. I check your channel whenever i feel down or i can’t sleep. I hope you get the recognition you deserve man, your channel deserves way more subs tbh. Thank you for your effort!
I know this is old and someone already would have said it, but orphan cancelled the attack because the lunge forward made contact with the rocks which provided orphan with height, when he landed the landing animation cancelled the lunge which allowed him to immediately choose another attack
12:36 even my dog was looking at my phone with her head cocked listening like “wtf is he talking about?…” Lol it was so funny to see see her do that listening to the video with me.
Great video as always Press. Glad to be able to see some of this live while it was happening. Saw the orphan of Kos and the Laurence fight, such good times. 13:45 I don't know Press, that was a lot of witches. Would which again.
Tonsils are commonly called amygdales in French. The same kind of correlation might exist in Japanese causing a bit of confusion in the English translation
Theres something so charmingly old school about your chunky choppy animation style of your character. Gives me nostalgic feelings of playing flash games like... 20 years ago in i.t classes
The cool thing about Amygdala's name in Portuguese means Tonsils. Because in Portuguese Amígdala it's the same thing as Tonsils...so we read ''Amígdalas do Amygdala'' or ''Tonsils Tonsils''
I've been binge watching all of your bloodborne videos and I love every one of them! Your commentary is just so funny. I haven't been laughing like this in a long time. You honestly deserve way more views and subscribers with the excellent editing, humorous commentary, and the insane amount of work behind each video. Thank you for creating such great videos! Btw, I absolutely love the "which witch is which witch" rap you have in literally every bb video lollllll. It's my new favorite remix XD.
I think the reason blunt damage isn't really super effective on a lot of things in Bloodborne is most likely due to everything being relatively human/animal or an eldritch monster. Blunt damage in rpgs is almost solely strong against things like skeletons and crystal monsters who can break and shatter and it prevent them from existing
But that's the thing. Paarl and the One Reborn should be weak to blunt but are actually resistant to it. And one of the only bosses in the entire game who is weak to blunt, are the squishy looking merciless watchers
Kirkhammer R2 is kinda how I played anyways ngl. Was not told till later that the Greatsword was just objectively better. I just thought it was cool, slowing me down to the same kind of speed as the bosses and predicting the opponents incoming movements to hit them with the charged R2. Had to practice in Chalice Dungeons a lot but I actually really liked playing through them.
@@PressContinue I think smoking something of the same name as the damage type for this run is a bit more in line with the theme :) and yes I enjoyed it very much as usual, as you said that run was bonkers lol
A tip for Amygdala's jump strat. You don't need to roll, just walk towards where her/his/it's tail was before the jump and you won't get hit... Usually...
LOL, well that's kind of the keyword don't you think XD That's the reason I roll, to prevent getting crushed by the head in case I'm directly underneath it
@@PressContinue Haha, I used the word as I'm not precise enough to pull it off, but it's very possible to just walk and never get hit, if you know how :D
Ny first playthrough was basically this right here, although I started with the threaded cane. I love the kirk hammer, my 2nd fav weapon! However I've become a saw cleaver main. It just feels great to use.
the which witch is which witch bit is like the "round round wrap a round its a wrap for you round. i'll let a round round wrap around every rapper 'round, how you gonna get around that"
On the placenta bit Most placenta don't have a shiny reflective surface akin to polished metal, or make a clanging metallic noise when slammed into stone. So people thinking it has metal or is partially metal is pretty logical given if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, looks like a duck, and violately and loudly shits like a duck, then it's likely a duck even if it still might be a goose
I'm not sure who decided that the hunter's axe should do blunt damage... when pole axes like that were literally using for beheadings irl for millenia.... Because they're very sharp...
i did my first ever play-through using only the starting axe and managed to 1st or 2nd tried every boss because nobody told me how bad the axe is, went back and tried again with the cleaver & died to cleric beast alone 17 times lol
Id would actually say that the axe is the absolute best starting weapon for beginners. Especially for against regular enemies given that you tend to fight everything in your first run.
Blunt damage is only "bad" because nothing or very little is weak to it as such. That is, nothing takes extra damage from blunt hits the way they might from other damage types that arent just normal damage. However, blunt is very good because its able to flinch things like crazy, keeping even the sturdiest enemies on the back foot. Plus it just feels really good to absolutley smash big, tanky enemies with little worry about timing, or dodging away to keep needling away with tiny blades. Sometimes you just want the Power lol Plus, Kirkhammer + Bolt Paper makes you feel straight up like Thor 👊🏻⚡️ "FEEL HEAVEN'S WRATH!"
Is it a tombstone though? I mean it could be as it fits the church theme, but its shape is quite off and the inscription does not have something like a date. Is there anything in-game that suggests that it's meant to be or modeled after a gravestone? Or a similar design that is used as an actual gravestone in Yharnam?
I have no solid proof that it is a tombstone but since the description says it's stone and it has writing on it I just went with it being a tombstone. Besides what's more metal than that?
Wow, thank you so much Plinka :D that's so generous of you! And I would indeed assume that watching me suffer in your boss's time is more pleasant way of spending the workday. Thank you so much for the superthanks :)
My main weapon is LHB but I use the Kirkhammer on all of the Cathedral Giants. It's so fun. A charged r2, followed up by another r2, easily takes care of them.

Press's ability to combo puns into more puns is still better than, like, 98% of native speakers.
Indeed. He's quite gifted. Frankly, native speakers need to brush up on their puns, the greatest form of humor.
He's not a native speaker? What

I love the Judas Priest in the intro. This is my favorite Bloodborne weapon. Maybe tied with the Beast Claws. Love the run.
"It'll make you want to smoke this damage type, *wink wink*.."
"Wtf does that mean?" - me, in the middle of hitting my bong

Nice name drop, mentioning Charred Thermos. His videos got me back into this game, even after getting the platinum
9:36 I actually think it’s supposed to be both, after all, it is one of the only bosses attracted to Pungent Blood Cocktails.
so I guess she should be called the "starving for blood blood-starved beast"

hearing between the hammer and the anvil at the start broke me. thank you. even worse the fact i knew the song before the refrain kicked in
I love this guy bro, some unique content on this channel imo
I appreciate that it sounds like you're saying that you're danking your way through the game
33:39 what you said is scarily similar to what happened to me in my first play through, those brain suckers killed me more than some bosses
It’s so nice seeing souls streamers pop in to watch other channel’s challenge runs
you are too good at this game :) best of luck on your next challenge runs!!
the streams were amazing to watch, 110% worth my time
A press continue video on my birthday?? Let’s goooo

I feel like a similar run with Blades of Mercy could be fun, minimal stats and R1 only. Have to go for long combos or your damage will be awful.

So many amazing weapons in Bloodborne but the Kirkhammer will always remain my favorite.
What's not to love about a freaking tombstone on a stick?
Is it a tombstone though? I mean it could be as it fits the church theme, but its shape is quite off and the inscription does not have something like a date. Is there anything in-game that suggests that it's meant to be or modeled after a gravestone? Or a similar design that is used as an actual gravestone in Yharnam?
I have no solid proof that it is a tombstone but since the description says it's stone and it has writing on it I just went with it being a tombstone.
Besides what's more metal than that?

Very fun and interesting to watch. Will I try the challenge myself? HELL.FREAKING.NO!! But thank you for suffering for our entertainment Press 😂
31:57 so thats where red jelly comes from
Ah... that's... kinda dark... but befitting of this game
You always find new ways to suffer and I applaud your strength to fight through it.
Beautiful song choice for introducing this run 👌
As someone who used the hammer for the entire game, this was like watching my child grow up
Watching you fight Martyr Logarius while drinking raspberry juice on stream instead of actually working at my day job was an amazing time
