We need the 3 hour directors cut

[@Jaummerjuice]

Yoooo

[@darienb1127]

I love the dichotomy of Fromsoft's weapons. One the one hand, there are swords that are super intricately designed and are massively important to the lore, and on the other there's "We took an anvil and attacked a stick to it. Have fun."

[@grantcooper5799]

Someone in chat was saying that the stick would have to be some miracle material to be strong enough to hold that anvil without bending or shattering, and think that just highlights the point of the weapon: unrealistic absurdity

[@twitchyb9950]

Anvil-on-a-stick was a hammer in Dark Souls 2 as well!

[@darienb1127]

@@grantcooper5799 What makes it so funny is the fact that Souls games are usually pretty low fantasy. For the most part, the fantasy elements are usually a bit more grounded in comparison, which makes it all the weirder when a weapon comes along that lets you slap someone with a set of double doors.

[@abrahamlincolnreal8166]

Elden ring and the Dark souls trilogy will have armor/weapons that realistically could be made and be functional but also have a weapon that’s just a big finger.

[@sycamorph]

​@@darienb1127 Souls games are definitely high fantasy. High dark fantasy, which is pretty rare. I guess they can be grounded in comparison to something (not sure what though), but it's still high fantasy.

[@LittleZbot]

The best part of these streams was how clueless Chat was compared to every other game. Like at 19:20, everyone was cooing over how cool the dead dragon was, then the healthbar appeared and Chat just exploded in shock and terror.

[@Corthate]

I find it hilarious how many npc quests Dan missed when most of them are just chilling at Graces. Igon being the only one he didn’t because the man is fucking screaming at all times is even more hilarious though.

[@Hedoro_Latoureux]

It's honestly unfortunate, he missed a lot of content because of it.

[@uLWillyG]

and they arnt even complicated like usual from soft ones, he little just takled to the one guy in the storehouse and needed to talk them each one more time, i got frustrated when he just stopped exploring started be-lining to burn the tree and the final boss

Not only that he used the jar to censor the fight.

[@ruptakruptak439]

@massgunner4152 I was watching the stream as that all went down. It took quite awhile to rally a team of people to come in and lead him through that area. He really didn't engage with anything with spindly legs the whole DLC

[@CountryMusicMann]

That fucking shit-bug is the reason I stopped playing SotE myself and came to watch Dan do that part. 'Cause fuck no, I'm not going through that fucking castle blind. Not if THAT is waiting as soon as you open the door.

[@LeeSwab]

I honestly wasn't expecting to see Todd Howard again. It's like reuniting with an old friend

[@SevenVT12]

He was beside us all along... our guiding Todd.

[@thesuspiciousorange2526]

ok dan i take your word for it now: youre a damn good souls player. the fact that you almost killed the dancing lion on your second try, first try solo, is INSANE. holy fuck. everyone ive been watching has been choking hard on him for like... min an hour.

[@maddiemeep]

The power of Jerry…

[@meatballdivino8955]

That boss kicked my teeth in more than any other boss in the DLC save the final one, i dont know why the Lion specificaly but yea, our boy RT is good

[@chinsaw2727]

I… got the boss on my first try… To be fair, that might of been a fluke, because I struggled against the other one that was in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh

More than anything it's the consistency. His longest fight was the last boss, and it's still not longer than 2 hours.

[@MLGHazrad]

I love the reignition of Elden Ring hate. The cornerstone of every Soulsborne and souls like game is to cheese the living hell out of every thing

[@idontbelieveinmagic]

to be fair you can absolutely cheese the everliving fuck out of everything in the dlc that hasnt changed lmao, you just replace sitting in a corner with prebuffing instead.

[@jammo7370]

@@idontbelieveinmagic is prebuffing even cheesing though? like doing a bit of extra damage for like a minute on each attack I don't think qualifies as cheese. People are finding real cheese strats though, you can get gaius stuck on the wall that you enter the arena from and kill him by spamming zamor ice storm through the corner of the wall to constantly hit him while he's stuck.

[@idontbelieveinmagic]

@@jammo7370 ahh you see if you dont think prebuffing is cheesing you're not prebuffing enough. prebuffing isnt always cheesing, but it can get very fucking silly. in base game for example you can ohko fire giant at ng+7 at rl-1 with an incredibly elaborate pre buff setup, and while i havent gone that far i have gone far enough to 3 or 4 shot bosses in the dlc.

Thank you for adding a spider/scorpion warning, Cloe! Really considerate of you! ^^

[@bbnnmm9]

At 17:05 I think it looks more like a porcupine, also that message about be wary of mage, was a total setup lol, they placed it right at the agro point so you're in dialog while the npc already moving at you lol so sneaky

7:52 monkeys when they are given bananas

[@justas423]

I think all those barbed spears a reference to Cu Chulain and his spear, Gae Bolg.

[@grfrjiglstan]

They could’ve just isolated Igon’s pained screams for the alert, but I’m so glad they went for the whole monologue.

[@leoaskham6564]

This DLC is so difficult he couldn't even first try the main menu

[@dumbbirdwayne]

You have no idea how much I’d pay for an official Elden Ring Cookbook, I love dumb cooking ideas and something as rancid as Dungeater Chocolate Mousse would absolutely be something I’d pay for

[@Nyghtking]

Someone had a theory that this DLC leans more into a Monster Hunter direction, specifically the main bosses are better at swapping between targets instead of focusing on a single person and a couple of the new weapons include movies that enhance movement, basically meaning the DLC is meant as more of a multi-person thing, so at minimum you should probably be summoning echos each fight but probably actually have people and NPCs helping.

[@leonides1527]

Rennala: ah. Youve come to be rebo-.... What did you get this time? -_- RT: :3 hammah

[@leithaziz2716]

I think the final boss of the DLC was when I fully came to a realisation. I probably would like these bosses a lot if they were in a game that isn't stuck with the Dark Souls styled movement and combat. Like Bloodborne or Sekiro. I just start wishing I was playing those games instead.

[@davidawakim5473]

Dan thank you for always being so positive and such a joy :' )

[@lobster6272]

You should have just used the Lamenter Transformation for the final boss, Would have been first try. Nothing beats the Lamenter!

[@The-E-king]

52:00 that is my favorite fromsoftware boss purely because of the inspirations taken from the king in yellow.
