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

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

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

You can get the Twinkling Titanite Lizard behind Firelink shrine by following the roof you jump on using the tree jump. Also you get two more twinkling by trading with the crows on the rafters, Large Leather Shield and Prism Stone, which can be bought from the crone in the Firelink Shrine.

Luck builds are surpringly viable. All hallowed weapons scale with it and it also helps building up status effects, most impotantly bleed and poison.

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.

[@13JackStorm]

Of course I did. I've started saying the exact same thing myself.

In the gym right now, but i know exactly my post armday meal is gonna be consumed to a top tier video 🙏

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

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

well now you can enjoy it because you know! :)

[@filipstiglic4591]

To retort with another Harry Callahan quote - " You know, you're crazy if you think you've heard the last of this guy. He's gonna kill again." I will be waiting for the next video.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

haha nice retort, and hope you enjoy the next challenge, wont be for a bit, but it was..a proper challenge, painful lol

[@DieSpielhoelle]

I used a Luck Build to grind the covenants for Platin. And I had so much fun with it, that is actually still my favourite charackter in DS3 i build.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

See that would be smart, I just played the game normally and when it came time to grind I just suffered lol

[@LmaoMamel]

15:52 ik right ?! i recently replayed ds3 and fighting this boss took wayyy longer than it should've because of that attack. its just way too fast.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

It's such an awful attack, how can From make such well designed boss encounters...and then let that slip lol

[@bread3039]

3:12 He's raising the roof.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Indeed lol

[@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 !

[@szeszélyes_cipő]

the first time i beat 2nd phase of sister Friede, i was spinning on top of her at low hp then the black fire killed me before she got up.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Oof, the happiness of victory, immediately followed by the sting of defeat lol

[@seanhennessy3968]

I want to try a luck build sometime, so i really hope this one doesn't suck!

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

It's good! You can also do bleed/poison because luck effects those, but I forgot lmao

[@wyvernslayer4530]

There absolutely are two crystal lizards after the sage. Also the first twinkling titanite is in firelink.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Don't worry, like 47% of my comments have told me, despite reloading that area several times, I missed the second one. Guess you could say I was....unlucky ;P lol

[@wyvernslayer4530]

@@DoomWolfOfficial I apologize

[@AuthorizeOfficial]

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

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

I'm glad :)

[@kokofast1]

Get the Warden Twinblades and the Carthus Milkring and Dex ring (need 18 Dex for the Twinblades - that's also how you equip Sellswords on lvl 1, even at 18 Dex they still shredded my DLC playthrough), make the Twinblades hollow and level your luck - enjoy the most OP weapon even more than Sellsword in my opinion (When 39 Dex and Luck). Bleed build up and hollow weapons damage both scales with Luck, Luck is not a bait stat, its a legit op build :)

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Yeah, I remember reading about how luck effects poison and bleed build up, had I remembered that I might have actually done something other than Anri's straight sword...but I basically forgot instantly lmao

[@daturtlegod-2387]

How did a dark souls creator get an ad from a sleep company that’s counterintuitive

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

tbf, I don't sleep regardless of dark souls so :P lol

[@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 :)

[@wildboarinspector]

Love your content bro
