"How does one doging Water Fowl so effortlessly? By dodging many times not so effortlessly" - Bushy 2023 - a polite version of git gud My buttcheeks clenched so hard during that 2 days watching Malenia fight. Your determination, extraordinary

[@AshenWednesday]

What makes "git gud" impolite?

[@arcanefire7511]

​@@AshenWednesday Some people can be dicks about it, but mostly it's just insecure people complaining about the phrase being used when it's perfectly applicable.

[@icyatlasartworks]

​@@AshenWednesday depends on context. It can either be interpreted/intended as "hey, don't worry about being bad, we all were at some point. Just practice, you got this" But it can also be interpreted/intended as "Lmao you're trash, dogwater, absolute bottom of the barrel, you wasted $60 on a game you can't even play lol, my blind, deaf, paraplegic, dementia-ridden grandma can play better than you" (obvious exaggeration, but that's how it feels sometimes.) It's a coin toss, but you can typically tell.

It's nice seeing really useful niche weapons like the Morningstar and Venomous Fang get some use. Love that you highlighted its power with a poison infusion applied.

@@metalsludge8205 I used it in combination with Ekzykes's Decay to kill the Fire Giant with nothing but DoTs when I just wasn't feeling like dealing with him during my arcane build run. In an actually leveled and upgraded build, Venomous Fang is an extraordinary tool.

The fact you decide not to use serpent hunter is actually amazing. Like I'm pretty every video I've seen of people doing this challenge all have the same Crystal Tear Bubble + Serpent Hunter combo.

​@@Blck-CatOr do the same? Doesn't matter, more content

[@HeyImThorn]

@@Blck-Cat I mean, he doesn't level... and isn't upgrading. Which means that he can't do the funny haha of killing shit faster. If I recall properly the other guy only had 1 hp and 1 stam and 1 hp. Making he can still hit hard he just dies to 1 miss play. This seems more interesting because he doesn't hit hard so needs to find survivability instead of kill harder faster.

[@kip4393]

2:37 @Bushy has almost a frame-perfect roll. If you go frame by frame, you can see that Margit's weapon passes through Bushy while he's still upright, he's so early in the roll animation. Skilled or lucky, cool to see either way.

[@El_FzEq]

Your character reminds me of my grandpa. Small, scrawny looking man who looks unremarkable in any way, yet he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, beats the "unbeatable" odds after failing over and over again, provides for his *huge* family while making everyone happy and well-fed. Sorry for being sentimental for a second. He recently passed away, and your videos are a great distraction for me. Thanks man!

[@jakewilliamson2991]

I started the game as the Vagabond with the base halberd. I stuck with it through the whole game upgrading it to +25 and managed to beat the game with it. The ash of war I used was Piercing Fang which at 70 Dex and 35 Str yields 2k damage in PVE

[@SpydersByte]

5:33 youd think they'd get with the times and just you know, add little symbols below the boss health bar for the different debuffs. Its kinda ridiculous that youre supposed to just judge it off a nearly invisible mist and hp ticking down

Amazing run as always Bushy! I do wonder if anyone suggested you the Uplifting Aromatic during this run at all since its practically a consumable Bubble Tear + 10% Physical Damage for 40 Seconds.

[@squishybrick]

I have an idea for a funny challenge. The "Most boring build ever" challenge.. No big cheese strats or OP gear, but no overly weak weapons/gear either, you have to play/beat the game with the most perfectly boring middle-ground equipment imaginable.. Like you're disallowed from using any special strategies, super unique tactics, or rare/weird/interesting weapons/items.. It has to be the most predictable, boring, monotonous mid-tier strategies and gear. It's obviously not a challenge, but more of a "Let's have fun watching the streamer suffer" kind of run, because he's so used to playing new and exciting ways, and loves exploring the game, but you're basically forcing him to wade around in the kiddie pool for a long while.

[@eliparrish6278]

You do not need to use the stealth spell to go around him. I took the left wall rather than the right on a recent playthrough just crouching normally. Use a throwing weapon at Moongrum AS the elevator starts rising. He will fall in the hole and you get the drops. If you throw it too early he’ll hop on with you, but if you throw it just as the elevator starts to rise he’ll fall right in the hole.
