Baron, you are like a ray of sunshine in eastern France’s autumn: you appear roughly once a month but always put a smile on my face.

[@PresObama]

Can’t believe they made a dark souls 2 game based off this video, brings a presidential tear to my eye

[@Xieryo]

Fun Fact! The snippet of music that Baron has playing when showing off the "weapon arts" is called The Divine Spirit of Language, and comes from the RPG Star Ocean 3.

[@CerberusLives]

Also by Motoi Sakuraba, who did loads of Dark Souls II's music.

[@samkitwood9607]

i came to the comment section just to see if anyone else recognised star ocean ost ^^ best jrpg franchise imo

[@Seginus_Says]

​@CerberusLives on top of that, the song played during the first fight against The Rotten fight is from Baten Kaitos, which is ALSO done by Motoi Sakuraba.

[@kotyrollins]

"Weapon do damage. Boss go Ow" sums up the truth of these challenge runs. But it also got a belly laugh out me, so well played.

[@anaroniak]

This brings me back to the first video of yours I watched! The weapon arts only in DS3! and after all this time, I'm still here 🥲 thank u for the great content as always, Baron!

[@BaronsCastle]

No, thank you for being a loyal supporter Ronnie!

[@justinkroboth360]

I'm just so happy that you're allowing yourself to walk around like normal this go round, Baron. PS - Displate really are pretty pretty boss (get that paper, sir!) And to answer your question at the end - never!

[@governorsofthemetaversegot9136]

your naming convention got me in the luls pretty much every time. Great work. 11 out of 4.

thanks, thats almost a perfect 5 out of 7!

seeing bonefist being used makes me so happy. easly my favorite fist weapon in all souls games. by far. nothing comes close to this masterpiece of a weapon

[@benro6564]

Thanks Baron for making this Friday even better. Definitely one of the most entertaining youtubers out there in terms of pure comedy chops. Also 6:32 I didn't know Rykard was in this game

[@magicalshion7939]

After just having binged through the Danganronpa series earlier this summer I gotta say that monomi theme at the start caught me off guard, love it

[@ronjohnson6916]

Fun run. Love the names for the weapon arts.

[@Amaterasu772]

Great video! The Lost Odyssey music addition makes me so nostalgic for that game. I wish more people knew of / played it.

[@nottegiew]

Ricards Rapier also strangely drops from the Brightstone Spiders, though I realize it was probably unrealistic to use up a weapon in a boss fight to farm for a weapon thats found in an earlier area.

[@RockyApp]

This video is so well made. The songs, the edits, the gameplay. It’s all so damn good!

[@ians7184]

Beautiful video. Loved the Vaati Myazaki letter.

[@MazeMaker4Life]

Baron should be a politician with how perfectly he snuck around the weapon requirements as he was killing the rotten again 😂

[@Nalimias]

First vid of yours I saw was the weapon arts one for ds3, before I even started playing souls-likes. It is poetic that you release this, shortly after I finally beat ds2 after 300 hours!

Why does the Rat whipping rap go so hard tho, there's no need for it to be as good as it is lol😂

Hello Baron, I'm just starting the video but i sure it will be amazing! i want to thank you in advance, never miss a video even if its a game i havent played... But DS2 I've played, so i extra-appreciate this one you Sr, are a gentleman and a scholar, please keep it up. **edir** it was everybit as amazing as i'd hoped for :')

beautiful video, thank you

[@gayforbrae5693]

when i first played ds2 i did so on my terrible old laptop and never having played ds1 or des or really knowing much about them at all for some reason certain graphical effects just did not work at all and one of them was the like glowy orb above a bloodstain or an item pickup when i finally got to that room in fofg with the ambush and the bookcase i accidentally broke the bookcase and then saw that i could pick up 20 wooden bolts from the remains of it because the wood covered the corpse i mean yea makes sense i broke down a wooden bookshelf into being wooden bolts that makes sense i then proceeded to play the entire rest of the game thinking that sometimes breaking the scenery would just give you random item drops and broke literally everything it took probably about 3 years to realise that there was meant to be a little glowy orb above pickups when i got a new pc

[@potatolord7284]

I appreciate the chapter separation it allows me to come back to the video and remember where I was quicker

[@gagedjurdjevic3633]

I can only do damage, using weapon arts What the fuck does that mean Baron? More on what that means later

[@Snugrot]

Love the weapon arts segments. Mamma mia!

[@grimreaper8575]

For anyone curious, ds2 boss damage doesnt display the accumulated number only the most recent attack, which is why some attacks deal damage disproportionate to the numbers shown.

[@santiagobaby]

Broo the gravity rush ost in the beginning brought me memories, love that game so much

[@Maffo__]

Also a BB challenge with only transform attacks. Have an awesome day Baron.
