Asmongold Playing Elden Ring | Part #2

[@IAmDaldondo]

Blind first playthrough for souls games are a thing of beauty. I know some people are complaining about the way he played but I love it. He knew how he wanted to build himself, he explored, he struggled, he succeeded, he lost runes, he got surprised by the big moments. It's like the ideal first playthrough. We all been there.

[@minecraftminer59mineboymin38]

better than some streamers that just follow chat and takes advices all the time

[@rikukoivisto7059]

yeah but this wasent his first playthrough

[@IAmDaldondo]

​@@rikukoivisto7059yes, this was his first playthrough. These VODS are from streams when the game first came out

[@jaydeus]

It was my first souls game. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Only looked up where to find talismans that complimented my build (I went dex then dex/faith) and so many times I thought I was at the end just to open a whole ass new area and 15 more bosses. It was the first game I actually felt accomplished beating since I was a kid.

[@grogueQ]

He's played all the souls games, and still doesn't know to exhaust all dialogue when talking to NPCs. This is one of the most frustrating things in watching these playthroughs, nobody ever exhausts dialogue and they always miss stuff because of it.

[@cesarpedrazamartinezgarcia725]

I'd imagine it has to do with remembering a ton of easy victories, whereas in any other souls game even basic enemies can own you in little time, say it's not supposed to be different if you compare enemies 1 to 1 but you got a horse meat shield here lol

@@blodstainer Sounds about right. I admit I haven't watched him play dark souls, but flinging enemies with charged heavies is literally the most satisfying part of the game for me so I just assumed he learned what RT was at one point and forgot

[@RE4PER]

The fact that he did worse with Margit compared to the tree sentinel is nuts to me. I struggled with the Tree Sentinel for hours but defeated Margit within 6 tries.

[@snickle1980]

I handled the Tree man just fine, and didnt do the whole atrioc 7 hour plan. 😁(miss that guy) Margret though...I did the same thing...got served more than a few times, avoided her for days and then came back to get marge out of the way.

[@PeRSCiTio]

It's cause you can get the tree sentinel to follow a predictable pattern, just have em do the sharge attack every time with the slow turn around, Asmon saw that and made it easy that way

[@vast9467]

he already beat it in the beta

[@BiIlDipperIy]

1:39:10 had me in in tears laughing when he died the second time 😭 we've all been there... I died to falling more during godrick than godrick himself lol. "I'll be fine" he says

[@ZeepZerp]

The amount of things he misses, not just in this game but every game, because he refuses to take 60 seconds and read a dialog box. Who is he rushing for? The audience? 90% of his audience would watch him do his laundry for 6 hours. "how do I get to the monastery?!" never looks to his right. No idea how people live like that. Stop running like a man on fire and take a look around for feck's sake. Every game. Not just this one. Every game. Like someone's hitting him with a cattle prod. OK... just had to rant into the void for a second. I'm all good now.

[@grogueQ]

I love when he's running back to the souls after he beat the dragon, anyone know you can fast travel in this game?

I think every souls player knows this lmao it’s quite common 😂😂🤷🏻‍♂️

[@snowy-g9p]

dude he literally does no sidequesting and leveling up beyond a little bit and some in faith, something that does not scale any of his weapons; goes to margit and is just like "I don't do any damage!"

@@DurkDiggler where did I say any of that?

[@professionalairhead5582]

@@snowy-g9p Easy for you to say. This was before release, he had no way of being aware of any of the sidequests. Further more he was trying to get upgrade materials for his weapon after deciding that he wouldnt be able to beat margit in his current state. He was leveling faith so he could use the golden halberd. Pay attention and maybe you wont look like a fucking idiot.

Watching him play this was the worst experience ive ever had watching a streamer lmao. The amount of graces he missed, talking to the girl that does summons and completely leaving her before doing what youre supposed to, without looking at chat. Asking what to do, then not looking at chat at all, thinking the ash of war moves is R2, the heavy attack, without asking what it really is, not knowing how to put stuff in his pouch and how to switch to it, then switching to it, and not noticing he did, then saying hes bad at learning things, walking around mindlessly past graces, and not getting them. Absolutely maddening. Ive never yelled at a stream, and i did it 100 times calling him stupid for doing stupid shit. Thinking he only needed 3 pts for faith for the halbard. When he needed 20 strength. Jesus. Absolutely maddening.

[@CrunchyTire]

All True. I just like souls playthroughs so Im watching this. I cant believe people enjoy him. He's OK when he's just being normal, but mostly its one of the things you said. He runs around for 10 minutes without looking at anything and declares he has no idea where to go. Its an open world, pick somewhere and explore. He's in a hurry going nowhere and complaining along the way.
