Oh yes you do! Ive been dying to see it since you did the ds1 vid! (Obviously jk you can do what you want man) Now go, back to the suffering with you!

[@goldengolem4670]

Cease your ds 2 slander, its still by far the best entry in the series (once you are good enough to not get fucked by hollowing anyway)

Sorry that the voiceover audio for this isn't the best quality, I had issues with my setup and had to resort to a backup but I hope you enjoy anyway, I'm going to sleep for the next 3 days

Sounds just fine mate. ✓™

I hadnt noticed, so you are doing just fine

That audio had no issues on my end, you're good man.

Another work of weapon art. And hey at least you finally had a run without constant Forlorn invasions, you lucky devil.

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.

[@alrightalright4585]

I love hearing Gravity Rush music in videos. There's a hidden gem of a series I really wish more people knew about.

"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.

[@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

BABE WAKE UP, NEW BARON'S CASTLE VIDEO JUST DROPPED

[@RunningBearQQ]

Im up babe

[@andrewpowell2427]

Ive got the popcorn darling

[@Sofagrigus]

Literally thought the same thing 😂

[@maikonfernandesdeoliveira8681]

And it's a DS2 video

[@alcoholicofthedarkforrest4402]

Babe wake up, I pissed myself again.

[@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.

[@PresObama]

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

[@AverySadBear]

"A tree for every poster purchased" is such a surface level sale tactic. lol

[@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!

[@IronMind92]

Finally a new vid. Your playthroughs and commentary are pure gold mate

[@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!

[@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

[@lechugaenlabiblioteca3298]

Hello fellow pony enjoyer

[@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

[@RauschenPauli]

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

[@theequivalanceofammotheory]

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

[@BaronsCastle]

thanks, thats almost a perfect 5 out of 7!

[@jaredcrabb]

More like a 20 out of a 2.

[@Lolikok09]

just had a dear friend pass due to suicide and this video was much needed. you always lift my spirits up and i thank you! from the bottom of my heart, thank you!

[@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

[@Amaterasu772]

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

All these epic Ashes of War attacks in DS2 is making me hungry. Maybe Italian food to be specific.

The shredded cheese challenge run is legit impossible, been trying to complete that since 2014. Try Fridge any% instead. (Awesome vid as always, B!!)

14:10 you're welcome everyone!

[@RockyApp]

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

[@MazeMaker4Life]

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

[@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.

[@ronjohnson6916]

Fun run. Love the names for the weapon arts.

[@CerberusLives]

You automatically get a like for using The Divine Spirit of Language so often. Hell, once would have done it, but for every Art intro - bravo, Baron.

[@Be_And]

So called "hardest" game series. _Baron:_ *L2*

[@potatolord7284]

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 :')

Today I learned so much about dark souls 2, ...that's not a joke, I didn't know half these things lol

[@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!

I don't know how I missed this vid, however it really of one my favourite vids. The DS3 WA run, but my favourite vids are a close tie between the challenge runs and the "WTF is going on in *insert game* I have geniuenly loved and rewatched almost every video of yours. Also a BB challenge with only transform attacks. Have an awesome day Baron.

[@deathtoraiden2080]

It's amazing how even the freest of the free "can you beat le souls doing this mundane thing" video still manages to have a cop out. Bravo.
