7:40 The wiki probably says there's 2 lizards because there's 2 there in the Cinders mod. I know because I've played the Cinders mod more than I've played base DS3.

[@PressContinue]

Btw, the hornet ring doesn't work on the king of the storms. You simply did all that damage without that boost. Hornet ring only works on bosses that also can be backstabbed, so not exactly a lot of them. No idea why. But that's how it works. For most bosses it's useless. Oh and yes luck does more than increase item drops. It increases status effect build up. So it's the stats for bleed buils (and poison I guess but poison sucks in this game except for gael and cheesing halflight). Therefore I was actually expecting that you would go for some kind of a hyper bleed build, but evidently you weren't aware of that. And yes, I was proud of that dark joke.

[@noxineamv2158]

Does it work when riposting bosses after parry? I've always had that equipped and now you're telling me I basically wasted a slot 😂

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

It doesn't?? That's...weird, wish I knew that and could have freed up a ring slot, oh well. Also maybe I should have went with bleed just to subvert the Abri sword expectations lol

[@PressContinue]

@@noxineamv2158 It only works on Friede, Halflight, Abyss watchters, Deacons and champion gravetender. On any other boss is has zero effect and it's indeed a wasted ring slot

7:30 the wiki is right, there are two lizards in that area, one of them is just hidden better than the other and aggro's (then disappears) weirdly quickly, so it probably disappeared before you could find its location (note, for disappeared lizards to respawn you need to reload the area entirely, not just rest at a bonfire)

You can get the Twinkling Titanite Lizard behind Firelink shrine by following the roof you jump on using the tree jump.

Im probably the only person who looked this up out of curiosity, but you also could've employed a poison and/or bleed strategy as Luck's only other main effect aside from item discovery is increasing build up speed for both of those statusrs.

As someone that has completed the game on sl1 many times, the Crystal Sage is the ONLY roadblock. Low health and a lot of projectiles don’t mix well. Furthermore, the Lloyd’s rings after the sage make the game WAY easier as you can survive at least 1 hit from any enemy. This takes each boss from a no hit run to a 15 ish hits run

His "lmao f*ck u I win" button if you will. Also to add to the previous paragraph (getting off topic), Oceiros, Sister Friede and Pontiff Sulyvahn are the only bosses I've never beaten *without* a shield. Sully and Friede are quite difficult as a boss but for Oceiros I only have the shield up in case he charges. Out of nowhere 😅

Luck builds are surpringly viable. All hallowed weapons scale with it and it also helps building up status effects, most impotantly bleed and poison. In DS3, both scale with how much max hp an enemy has, so this can really add up. Gael ( and possibly some other bosses) secretly has multiple/split health bars, but it's still worth it.

I am now convinced FromSoft watched this video and heard Wolf’s comments on Gael before designing Shadow of the Erdtree’s final boss

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

lmao, I _wish_ I had that amount of reach

[@asturias0267]

I gave up my SL1 run when stuck on the Dancer of the Boreal Valley. This was before the dlc came out.

[@silkrush2252]

it´s legit soullevel 1 with benefits xD. Nonetheless nice video! Honestly besides soul of cinder and gael perhaps, champion Gundyr was surprisingly hard for me just like I hope it will be for you.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Yep exactly that! Lol thanks :)

[@HollandTHG]

Your Firebomb Academy Application has been accepted. The Cheese Demons will find you. There is no escape.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

I accept this fate lol

[@jeremystone5946]

A run-through ds3 with a jack of all master of none build. I want to see you mix up styles with all 3. Melee, range weapons and spells from all 3. Miracles and pyromancy, and sorcery. I would prefer this on elden Ring, but i want to see you do this eventually with all of ds and elden ring.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

I wouldn't mind playing the game that way, sounds like a slightly under powered (because distributing levels too thinly) and I could decide which thing to use based off of boss's moveset and weakness/strengths

[@jeremystone5946]

@DoomWolfOfficial it can be underpowered, but I like options. Although in all of my playthroughs, I think I've only used sorcery twice, and that's from the night and flame sword. 2nd time was slightly used in dark souls remastered in undead burg. The deprived is underrated there.

[@Spock1777]

one of my first ever playthroughs of DS3 was a Luck/Hollowed Anri's Sword build. Luck is legit OP in this game lol.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

It's pretty strong! Especially if you don't restrict yourself like I did (by actually leveling other stats haha)

[@agelast1050]

Just ordered a manta mask I genuinely hope it works as good as advertised thank you doom wolf thank you

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Hope you like it! I enjoy mine :)

[@themanthemyth4522]

Vordt is a Boreal Outrider Knight, who degenerate into monsters (same thing happened to the dancer). Technically Vordt is human, but not really. Also, I agree with Gael, but not for the same reason: I hate how tanky all the ringed city bosses are, even with my optimised build the fights drag on way too long.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Hey thank you for actually talking about vordt, I don't think I mentioned it in this video but it's one of those things I was curious about so I'm glad Also agreed, but that's pretty common, give the dlc bosses a crap ton of health lol

[@gotthia7184]

Actually in DS3, and I'm sure others would have commentee on that, luck is super usefull also for bleed and poison/toxic builds as well as carcass ones. It also helps with various resistances

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Yeah! I remember reading that while I was looking up things about luck, but it flew out the window after I got anris sword lol

[@gotthia7184]

@@DoomWolfOfficial totally understandable ! However if you ever want to try a fun poison / bleed build ... go for the spiked hammer that the evangelists wield and infuse it with poison (at +10 with some luck you're in for a good time). Or give the Great Curved Sword of Carthus a shot with a bleed infusion, it might not hit hard but you 102 bleed on this at +10 and with a bit of luck (or a lot) you can make bosses as innoffensive as babies

[@mitchellconner6928]

10:24 i you hate fighting these things, you can sprint to it as it's spawning and spam roll by it through the door. The dragon body doesn't have any collision and it can't attack behind itself, so it's an easy kill. Though the dragon body can make the camera a hassle, but we're fromsoft players so what's new? The second one you can get behind even easier by just jumping behind it from above.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Neat I'll have to try that sometime haha thanks for the tip!

[@WillyKurniwan]

Because you make this challenge I'm so lucky to click this video and watch all your challenge 😂

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

[@AnthonyAdamic]

I bought a sleep mask with your code, great vid!

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

I'm glad :)

[@Miu-souls]

I have three tipps for future ds3 runs. 1. there are actually 2 crystal lizards past crystal sage as shown here kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWfCp5dtqb6Md5Y 2. you can get 2 more twinkeling titanite early through the trading-crow as shown here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aarGqpmkaMiHpa8 3. you can cheese the dragon puss of man by rolling behind it as shown here kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4TWgaqnmsmLZpo

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

thanks for the advice !

[@diyma3462]

I missed a video 😭 i didn't know this came out

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Couple people have said it, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Wolf05227]

[@DoomWolfOfficial]
