Rosatrice lives!

[@PressContinue]

@@Kyorinmaru Well there's an unexpected blast from the past...

[@jjba3553]

Finding out sister friede is one of the easiest bosses in this run must have been a real stamina boost

[@elemental-zweihander]

It would be a real stamina booster if she were step sister Frieda.

[@BaronsCastle]

Here for that delicious cheese

[@dominickalmeida5026]

Cheese served between 2 salty buns. Also known as the Cindery Soul Special. On promotion today

[@gnorp_]

And here was I thinking you disliked too much cheese, based on your flame grilled run

[@TardisPilot2004]

Literally got an ad for cheese before this video

[@thepuffinman1055]

I read it in your voice

[@otex5155]

What kind? Personally Muenster is good

[@grfrjiglstan]

So, what have we learned today? - A cornered Friede never fights back. - The best way to deal with the Greatwolf's second phase is for him to not have a second phase. - If you don't go for the laser lad in the Demon Prince fight phase 2, he'll come for you in phase 1. - The father of evolution really was the downfall of the Church. - Gael may talk a big game, but as soon as he gets too high in the world, he'll get cold feet. - Midir thinks you should git gud.

[@PressContinue]

"The father of evolution really was the downfall of the Church." Dammit, how did I miss making a joke about Darwin in a church! Shame on me

[@grfrjiglstan]

@@PressContinue To be fair, there's a lot of churches in DS3 - as many as there are castles in Elden Ring, or...churches on a main street in a Midwest American city. You just go numb to them.

[@MrcreeperDXD777]

Ending the run with Midir's laser light show was absolute perfection.

[@PressContinue]

Couldn't have wished for a better finisher

[@pierrelindgren5727]

Could never complete this challenge but at least I watched this video without using stamina. I count that as a successful run.

[@RedFoxGrappler]

I’m just impressed that you broke the innate habit all Dark Souls players have to roll, that alone is an achievement

[@PressContinue]

Well during my Bloodborne no stamina run that was definitely the case, but given that I was on PC this time, I simply unmapped the roll from the circle button

[@JKLeeds]

"Well now Friede is in the grave because of a tendency, but there's another boss tending a grave" Absolute poetry 👌

[@Conighttonight]

I almost spent the whole video shaking my head in disbelieve that you had the patients to do that.

[@MetalSolidCrisis]

He's a good doctor 🏥

[@Android_Andy]

@@MetalSolidCrisis I AM A SURGEON, DR HAN

[@Ak4ntor]

It honestly been a joy to follow the livestreams, the halflight attempts and desperation, the prince bugs, the weirdness that was Gravetender / Friede and just Gael + Midir. I either watched the vods or was live there for all of it, and i am glad to see it cut down to the most important bits. Helped a lot while studying / working, i hope you keep doing these insane runs, your commentary makes it so much better :)

[@MrcreeperDXD777]

All 5 of the boss fights here were absolute gold

[@crazyakira1222]

Delicious video, and the Bury The Light for Gael made my day, and I had a rough one, so thank you for being such a great guy Press, for you make a lot of people happy!

[@PressContinue]

Sorry to hear you had a rough day. But glad I was able to take your mind off it for a while

[@motocross_cooper]

I’m so excited to see this play through edited together in a video. I watched the livestreams . But, I love these videos for the entertaining commentary, beautiful puns and hilarious jokes. I truly hope that time will *DRAG-ON* as I watch this. Because, I tremendously enjoy Press’ videos so much.

[@motocross_cooper]

…..and I love the totally rockin’ band, Of course!

[@victoraguiar8096]

My god, man. This is a true test of skill and patience. The most intense challenge I have ever seen.

[@SabuIsCrazy]

Every time one of your new videos pops up in my subs tab, I get so excited to see your character band intros. They never fail to put a smile on my face.

[@EwiwasSmile]

It's been a blast watching the streams, Press! Your perseverance deserves nothing but respect for beating this insane challenge.

[@fede1101.]

Fun to watch both live and edited, great work as always press

[@DarkCT]

this is just unreal, and im so damn impresssed you managed this. your the kin of incredibly specific weapon runs in my eyes, but this no stamina run is just... bloody scary.

[@afinoxi]

I ran out of stamina just watching the whole saga. Massive respect to you for actually pulling this off.

[@zantku]

I cannot fathom the grind for this at all. Congratulations you are in a league of your own.

[@motocross_cooper]

Sorry Press, One small correction about the Crystal Lizard killing Gundier. (You would have to put yourself right in the ”Line of Ice”, Not “Line of fire”. Because, The lizard doesn’t use fire.)

[@PressContinue]

They don't use ice either. That's crystal breath which is magical. So it would have to be in the line of magic then I guess

[@motocross_cooper]

@@PressContinue Crapalicious! That's right, I forgot that their Crystals aren't Ice. That's weird! Because, Aren't the crystal lizards crystals a different color than the sorcerer's crystals?

[@LeinadB7798]

Streams were a blast! video turned out well! En niet te vergeten, KAASKOPPEN NIET TE STOPPEN!!!!

[@JohannesBee]

Alright! I'm glad the sequel to the original run is out so soon. Sick run!

[@minimodecimomeridio4534]

Fun fact: in Italian the word “pupa” basically has 2 meanings: it can mean the same as in English, or in alternative it can mean a particularly hot and attractive girl. So if you say in Italian “Friede is a pupa” it would be basically understood as “Friede is very attractive”.

[@alkostach]

And in polish it means ass. So it would be "friede is an ass"

[@PressContinue]

A load of a hot pupa

[@theflyingnone5616]

I want you to know how much i appreciated the nun jokes...for obvious reasons

[@mathewlwfleming]

they were really second to nun

[@GAM2bia]

Game journalist: "Dark Souls need a difficulty setting". Demon Prince glitch: "Hold my pyromancy glove". Game journalist: "Noo! That was not what I meant..."

[@matthewcampbell3146]

I can't decide if "second to nun" is the best or worst joke you've made.

[@xxthelinkxx3296]

You are right, truly exhausting to not exhaust any stamina, as seen by both videos

[@Beriorn]

Imagine being a sweaty minmaxed tryhard who still does church invasions in Dark Souls 3 in the year of our Gwyn 2011+12 and you get clowned on by a guy who doesn't even need to use his stamina bar to beat you. (yeah I know he was just messing around but it's funnier to think it's a legit win)

[@PressContinue]

Funny thing is that it's becoming a trend, since I also had a pvp kill in my Bloodborne no stamina playthrough

[@user-ed8hb7cu6k]

I wonder what the player was thinking.

[@krishnansubramoni7801]

Wow. What an incredible journey! Outstanding work Press 👏❤

[@concretemix]

Im glad i caught these streams, really impressive stuff!

[@SalvageET]

15:08 you know what they say, “hesitation is defeat”

[@TruePirateKing12]

the level of patience this requires is just insane.

[@antonsimachkov6255]

You basically beat DSIII without breaking a sweat

[@samuelepirrello1593]

I might be a bit too childish, but every time I see this video I laugh by replacing much with dutch in the "thank you very much" at the end of the spear of the church bossfight

[@86fifty]

MAN what a wicked challenge! Totally cool to use some "creative farming methods" to get there, it was STILL such a chore! Just wild that this is possible at all in this game!

[@danielcockriel443]

Great video. These streams were so much fun.

[@gogodanmark]

This is mad dude, holy fuck you must have some patience haha. I remember going thorugh the dlcs for the first time, uninstalling and reinstalling the game on a regular playthrough lol.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

The stream chat depiction after Friede got me lol great video!

[@Nidhogg]

an absolutely incredible run. your patience is unreal

[@ledemonrouge57]

Well played ! A good video as usual.

[@kirramcdowell]

Wholesome halflight fight haha, loved it.

[@LordofIsleofTritone]

I caught a number of the streams, and wow, watching that successful Midir kill was amazing

[@nicholasellis4597]

I got second hand rage seeing the Demon Prince hang on with that gnat's dick worth of health left. I HATE in these games when you deal a blow on boss that should be the coup de grace, but they just fucking hang in there. Well done, this a run to be proud of.

[@shadowpriceyear2713]

Iirc using the shield buff spell on the Greatshield of glory gives it 100 stability, letting you block without taking stamina.

[@PressContinue]

Perhaps so, but doesn't matter, because casting that spell itself costs stamina

[@curvywyvern9310]

Blast off at the speed of... Havel, team rock style !

[@vegiminer]

Brb, gotta try to kill friede like this, seems fun as hell :D Great work on the DLC and GGs for getting that perfect ending for this journey!

[@PressContinue]

Yeah that Friede reacted that way was very surprising indeed

[@Jaymez2012]

It's kind of ironic that a run without using stamina also ends up being one the most exhausting runs you've done, and it makes me wonder what a run where you MUST use stamina for EVERY action would look like. And I mean EVERY action outside of speaking with NPCs, so; rolling, running, jogging, walking, swapping weapons, attacking, sipping estus, taking damage, parrying, holding a shield up, blocking etc. Surely that would be pretty exhausting as well, lol. I'd imagine it would get pretty annoying running out of stamina before even attacking an enemy considering how much you just have to move around in fights.

[@noble7525]

That Charles Darwin guy is the definition of playing for fun. What a guy 30:45

[@CaptunAlfred]

Actual madlad ngl

[@aplive58]

I've been stoked for this video to release. Sweet.

[@khakinest1918]

Dear press, I started watching your videos as a series while I had my post gym dinners. First it was once in a while, no it's fucking worse than a crack addiction, I just can't get enough. Most importantly, you are one hell of MONSTER of a player, simply out of this world!

[@ShMokou]

Oh yes, Press's intro animations, my favorite!

[@AkaAbajur]

now i'm sure, I reaaaally need to start following the streams, cause that's some good content right there

[@gb9884]

Mad skills bro. Respect or should I say RESPECC 😂

[@satyasyasatyasya5746]

Yay! *Press* it into my veins and *Continue* the greatness! My body is ready! :D

[@scm20]

Champion gundyr probably still the funniest fight for me... I mean, that dance between attackin only when possible, gaining poise resistence all the time the boss is attacking, optimizing the healings and recovering fp all the time to can still using endurance and attacking... All of that just to optimized the dps race against the boss, just literrally playing another game, xD

[@dankyosh]

your will and determination boggles my mind

[@hussainalkhatem299]

HORRAAH. Eating lunch while watching one of these great vids. Gotta love it. Edit: That Midir fight was epically done. Congrats.

[@grfrjiglstan]

DS1 DLC: See big dragon, he shoot fire. DS2 DLC: See big dragon, he shoot fire and poison. DS3 DLC: Here's a *huge* dragon who shoots fire and lasers, and he has Manus's moveset as well. Elden Ring: Here's a gigantic two-headed dragon who has fire _and_ lightning _and_ he can teleport _and_ both heads shoot the oneshot lasers - oh yeah, and this one's just in the base game, who knows what we'll add in the DLC?

[@lunatic-k5209]

This dragons are getting out of hand

Yesss part two let’s go!

[@tylermcdonnell7427]

What an absolute legend

[@Sry342]

Hey, I hope you'll excuse this comment that has nothing to do with the actual video 😅 I've recently been told you are the same guy who used to post under the name KnownNoMore, I've watched a lot of videos of yours back in the days. I dont know if you'd prefer not to be associated with them anymore, but your takes on religion and your infamous Rosatrice theory (which I've heard you've disowned at some point?) are still inspirational to me in terms of logical thinking. I remember you said you were considering writing a book at some point and I wanted to ask if you ever ended up doing it. In any case I'm glad you're still around with a successful channel 👍

[@PressContinue]

Surprised you were able to find me given how many years it has been. That was quite a different era of youtube after all, but I very rarely get a comment like this. And yes I did in fact write a book back then. Never had it published though. However that is gonna change as me and my band are working on a concept album that has my novel as its story and will be released together. Probably in a year or so from now. Of course I would have to get it translated as well since it's not written in English as you'd expect.

[@Sry342]

@@PressContinue yeah, it's been a long time, isn't it! I think most people simply don't know about your recent activities and can't find you again lol. And that's nice, I'm glad that you were able to find another way to get your story out there! Creative, too. Even if you never end up translating the album, the project sounds really cool! I wish you guys good luck with it 👍

[@titanics.o.s2101]

Man this was wild ride! Congratulations

[@Gkamp98765]

IT HAS ARRIVED

[@Grizzfor]

16:02 I had no idea that this guy has attack like this.

[@PressContinue]

Well understandable given that I almost always skip that fight

[@atlasfp]

I tuned in for Gael and thats all i saw and by the time it was done *I* was fucking tired lmao

[@yamiryushi]

All these years playing ds3, loving being a mage more than anything....HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT SIMPLE INFUSED SHIELDS RECOVER FP!?

[@HollowSlayerGS]

Youre a madman for doing this, glad you did it tho because it was hella enternaining.

[@zt7044]

a ds3 hitbox orgasm compilation, now that's a great way to start a video

[@dominickalmeida5026]

So, to sum up the bosses covered here. With food • Daddy A and Fred the Nun: Brought the coffee and tea • Graverobber and Puppy: Helped cool down the beverages. Probably way too much • Demon Dum and Demon Dee: Cooked the burgers. Probably overcooked with a slight chance of glitch char around the edges • Charles Darwin: Unevolved cows into their basic components to create scientific Patties. Ended up unevolving himself in the process • Gaeltorias, The First Orphan of the Abyss: Brought _WAAAAAAAY_ too much cheese • Kalamid: Brought some salty buns, toasted with darkness and singed to its core like the nature of man It may not be the perfect picnic, BUT HEY, at least you’ve got some Salty Cinders to munch on as victory food :D

[@thegamer4fun445]

U deserve more recognition honestly. Keep it up struggler

[@TheMoogleKing93]

I liked the bit where you didn't use Stamina.

[@EricCerny]

Awesome job, I can't imagine what it's like to walk in your shoes.

[@PressContinue]

Slow. Walking in my shoes goes very slowly...

[@francescoferretti3800]

Damn, that was some amazing concentration at the end of the demon prince... Btw, can't you get banned from the online game if you use cheat engine?

[@PressContinue]

Yeah that did happen, but it doesn't prevent you from being online altogether fortunately. Not completely sure what the exact restrictions are

[@angelomangiagalli6188]

First Got a great sense of humour Absolutely love your videos Cant wait to see whats next

[@JackAsmo]

Technically, the one Press do himself was the first

[@apocolototh1948]

this feels like the hybrid real-time/turnbased finalfantasy games

[@papaemeritus8721]

Next challenge should be... can you beat sekiro without using stamina.

[@broccolin]

Gaming God right here

[@tobereed]

Great stuff. Love the intros 👍

[@DrMindy67]

I know it’s not exactly Press’ cup of tea but I reckon he could make an excellent ds boss difficulty ranking video given all the challenges experience

[@justchris123]

Just watched the main game vid now I’m back for the rest 😊

[@dylankilby6785]

You are a maniac. This run is the equivalent of death metal. Well.... maybe not since it's without stamina.... So, this run is the equivalent of sad British pop music?

That Demon Prince bs happened to me too a few times!

[@arabidllama]

The Friede puns were second to nun

[@BrilliantBouncingBall]

great video

[@rogofos]

I always use gael summon in the frieda fight he makes second and third phases a brieze since in second phase he usually aggros frieda on himself letting you wale on ariandel himself and in third phase he tends to pull her out of invisibility for free but he's not immortal tho so him dying mid fight does happen

[@Rassalcon]

Man Perseverance is nuts in ds3. why does it give you so much damage resistance? why does it cost next to nothing? why can you use it without any FP left? why does it only last like three seconds? so many weird design choices, but it's the only reason this was possible, so I guess it's ok.
