I made a slight editing mistake at 1:01:08 where somehow the onscreen text from later in the video got copy-pasted by accident. But it's a little extreme to completely re-render te video just for that. So if you noticed, yes I am aware of that. Sowwy, my bad.

I would wager that the poison aura *does* show up on The Rotten, but they didn't think to scale it up to his size, so it's all inside him and you can't see it. Looks like it also happens with other bosses, like the Covetous Demon.

[@gibbonplays6111]

This video inspired me to make a build almost exclusively based around poison, i personally am not very experienced when it comes to challenge runs so i decided to get the butterfly set and a poison broken straight sword (and a mace for the poison resistant buggers), not exactly a challenge but it is out of my comfort zone so its a start

This video is pure gold :D. I loved your editing especially the flying butterfly smiley and the steins gate reference :D. Ive only ever played DS2 with Harvels shield and i've never seeh Velstadts projectiles. So you are maybe right by assuming that he doesn't do it when you wear a shield. However my last DS2 run was quite a while back so i might have just forgotten his projectiles.

[@thezestfall1st107]

I wish dark souls’ poison worked like it does in salt and sanctuary, increasing in damage the more poison you inflict after you proc. It would make poison useful in elden ring if they did it there. Scarlet rot would still be high damage once it procs, but poison could be a fast killer if one keeps up the attacks.

[@PressContinue]

Or they could do it like Nioh, where attacking after the proc doesn't increase the damage, but it keeps the bar filled, meaning poison damage isn't merely based on the timer but how long you can keep an enemy poisoned through continued attacks

46:34, actually a ring made of gold would not melt in lava. The channel Kyle Hill actually tested this by dropping a gold One Ring in real lava that was produced at a special place in I think California. What happens is pretty interesting, the ring being so much colder than the lava actually causes some of the lava to instantly cool down around the ring essentially creating a rocky shield around it. When Kyle dropped the ring in and came back to break up the cooled down lava he eventually found the ring still completely intact just encased in solidified lava.
