Spears are jammed in halberd class and I'm generally not a fan of either, but in this game both feel very good. I think only weapons I don't like in this game are bayonets. They feel like a little bit of a waste imo

The stats you see on weapons and veils are shown for the current code. Prayer shawl is actually very good for Light gifts for example

The red and blue mantis guy is surprisingly tough. I believe I first tried him on every playthrough, but every single time, but the last one I was one hit away from death 😅

Tbh I don't understand why people hate Miku, I find her very fun and interesting. You don't fight pole dancers every day 😅

I don't have much issues with this game's level design, but I understand why people don't enjoy this level and the cathedral. I definitely think some over exaggerate how bad they are by a lot though

You need to pay a little more attention to focus. Didn't realise it myself for a while, but it's incredibly useful

It's not hitbox, it's his animations that cause him to be so unpredictable at first. Which is great imo

Iirc it's a good idea to finish off enemies with a combo drain move, especially if you're using a veil with a fast drain attack and a slow weapon

I like how you don't have to repeat the depths if you want to refight the boss. After you've done it once you can go straight to the boss They don't scale up tho 😢

Oh I somehow forgot this game has gift and relationship system 😅 It's actually very nice to know who likes what as you can get some extra strong codes early on. Yakumo's code, I think it's called Atlas is one of the strongest if not the strongest option for most melee builds and can easily carry you through the game

You're supposed to be switching Codes a lot early on, which is definitely one of the worst reasons you had so much trouble Another important thing some people take a while to realise is how important gifts are. Even melee centric builds have to use them a lot

Iirc best way to counter the slow poison cloud is to run

Tbh watching the previous vid I expected this one to have the dungeon version already 😅

The DLC's idea of difficulty is literally just "give it a stupid amount of health :)"

They've changed so much in this game since launch bro.. also killed my build lol

From someone who has thousands of hrs in the game Do not try the dlcs at lv1 *Vietnam Flashbacks*

I wish you good luck on the second dlc boss because I did it and oh man

This will be fun to watch but are you going to do the 2 other endings?

3:13 somethin about these ice areas man 😂, like why did the devs put the most annoying encounters in all of them

1st 🎉🎉🎉

Wow he only used the fire ring once, that's the attack that kills most players

Nice work! I hope you consider the spinning fire sword gift because it's free damage if you can only dodge/block anyway. Doesn't seem like a lot but puts in work. Looking forward to your encounter with NG+ Mido and trials runs!

Hellfire Knight is the best boss ever~ he is literally in God Eater

knew your determination could get it done, GG Ariez

Wait until you try the other 2 dlcs

It’s always a W when the Ariez main theme plays mid battle

Lets go

Dude you’re hilarious.

The DLCs are a hit and miss (30% Hit / 70% Miss) with the only thing you'll really get in terms of story is what Jack went through after Operation Queenslayer. All I will say when you eventually reach Lord of Thunder, try not to lose your sanity over the entire area. Its one of the toughest DLCs (in my opinion) with the main boss being an absolute nightmare.

So btw, if something has 20% or more resistance to the element of your weapon buff, then it becomes detrimental. Most enemies in here are weak to ice and resistant to lightning, especially the black knights (but the "Hellfire" boss is weak to lightning, not ice, for some reason).

Some help for the DLC. Whenever you hitconfirm, you can hold block to autocancel into a guard if an attack is going to hit you. When you stagger an opponent, you can quick-veil (R1+X) to get 2 ichor and a big toss, even on big opponents. You can just knock opponents off cliffs and not have to worry about them. The focus stamina regeneration ability is stupidly overpowered. When blocking, you cannot be one-shot. Period. If you have any armor on, the math will not let you just die.

The DLC feels like you are playing on ng+6

What are the odds. I literally just redownloaded this game. I don't remember doing the dlc even though i had the deluxe edition from way back when lol.

Im surprised someone still plays this game in this year

Bro, there's a block button. There's also ranged abilities. You said on the very first video of this series that you played this game basic your first time. What's really the different? The only things you use are buffs. Love your commentary regardless. You're funny af frfr

Just bought code vein I’m so excited to play once it’s done downloading

The Hellfire Knight is challenging but the most fair and predictable boss than the other two. It’s attack patterns are easy to learn.

In these areas, I always have to use the stealth skill to get back where I was. Saves the time just to get to the main boss of the DLC.

Fire knights the easiest out of all bosses😂 as a standard tip from someone who’s beat them all with the pipe for the challenge I can sat swap to any claw blood veil and spam the hell out of parry. It’s the most efficient way to do anything as all his attacks have buggy hit boxes to dodge often going further than what they show. Also I’d recommend trying to avoid pole arms for Empress and The lightning boss. For empress the only way to beat it is 1 shot it… unless you want to go through 100s of hitless hours or get lucky with a run… Just a quick tip for the sub bosses. They’re made in a way where you replicate their weapons. So they use Greatsword you should otherwise dmg while there in melee form will be low. As a standard for an idea fire knight with 2x difficulty is about empress level. And empress x2 is lightning boss😮

well the Abyssal Doppelganger doesn't have a phase that becomes difficult to deal damage and instead he keeps changing between physical and gift, when he is on physical his armor goes pretty high but his resistance to gifts goes down and the opposite when using gifts. also good luck with Hellfire Knight specially when he pulls that sword

Oh yeah do you mute your TV or whatever and listen to your own music to beat a boss

good luck on the Hellfire knight bro, closest ive gotten is his health down to three quarters using the zweihander +10 AND a partner

Oooo the Hellfire Knight is a Hannibal from God Eater! Makes sense given it's the same team but interesting they would use his skeleton/model but "Code Vein"-ify it. Though as I understand the other two DLC bosses are also just actual Aragami from God Eater so makes sense~

You see how hard they hit like for real why they hit so hard

Thank you for the content! So glad I found your channel. I loved this game so much. I recently started replaying some old titles like dark cloud 😅 I got your bell on. Please don't stop uploading

if you want a tungsten farm you could just use the first mistle and constantly spawn the white knights there until the drop what you need queen's knight reborn is probably my personal 3rd hardest base game boss cant wait to see how you do against the DLC bosses (i still havent beat a single one myself)

going for max level in weapons is a good call for the DLC maps but I have bad news for you, tungsten can be found in the depth maps is also possible to buy some but the quantity is limited
