Salt & Sanctuary is one of my favorite souls-like, so glad you decided to make challenge runs for it.

[@TheG119YT]

Cool thing about Guardian Blade is that as long as the game reads an attack input the blade will attack. So a good way to attack with the blade and not throw out a punch is to just parry or input an attack right as you roll. Probably would’ve helped with the Stench Most Foul lol

[@Hello-lf1xs]

I wonder if using a bow with no ammo would work?

[@MindlessDevourer]

I just wanna say I love your content sooooooo much man you are just so great to listen to thank you for all the time..!!

[@jamcracker8995]

This deserves more views! I love this game and there aren’t nearly enough challenge runs of it. Especially not high quality videos of them like this. Keep it up! 👍

14:31 The Third Lamb is extremely resistant to holy damage. I didn't know that, but I suppose it makes sense since you can use the special drop from this boss to make the best dagger in the game (holy damage dealer Opal Tusk)

[@TioNarukami]

Actualy you can fight a secret Armor Mite in the Sodden Knight area in a secret passage in the wall under de merchant for rank 5 in Devara's Light

[@sonnitude]

Recommended the fire bombs, stay for the prayers. Lovely stuff! This game always looked interesting to me, but I never bit the bullet as I was worried about another elden ring situation… gods something about that game rubs me the wrong way.

[@ham8426]

Protip for guardian blade it only reacts to the button press not attacking which means you can block and parry to trigger it

[@SheenShots]

Wish I was aware of this before hand lol

[@ham8426]

@@SheenShots yeah, as you mentioned in the video its great for slow heavy weapons cause it lets you throw out extra attacks in the downtime of your main weapons swings, and prayers of course benefit from heavy equiploads so its a win win, heck you could order the blade to attack if you get flung off your feet

[@Alex-yv5do]

Very very fun video, I like challenge runs of this, it's a cool little game Nice content bro

[@Polybox]

If you ever need to farm drowned berzerker ears again: use the shrine before the sodden knight and farm the one accompanied by his dog. Much faster.

[@matheusataide3368]

Now do Magic, If the game even has those. Also, Magic only outward would be fun.

[@SheenShots]

Magic only outward will be a run I do. Not sure how to approach it yet, but I am excited to try it.

[@jamcracker8995]

@@SheenShotsyou could do runs for each of the types of magic casting

[@arandomthingintheabyss2062]

Im currently in a magic run and it will probably be easy

[@pabramsarch]

Also sent by lemon but then i was like oh snap its the outward guy :)

[@SheenShots]

Lol yep thats me.

[@Shadowyesville]

If thoughts and prayers was a build lol

[@lorenzmanalastas4839]

Good stuff. Now do the sequel next.

[@Mr_Bojangles_1101]

I'm pretty sure if you have a staff equipped and try to heavy attack with guardian blade it will attack and you wont. I think I saw that on @thebacklogs (sry if I'm wrong)

[@SheenShots]

Interesting, I will have to try that out. You can get a staff easily too which would make this a lot easier.

[@smoukyman8873]

Sheen there is glich jump with every class which lets skip alot stuff it is easy to do on gamepad not sure about the keybord on gamepad you hit forward jump plus roll and you will do a mega jump without armor you fly almost across anything were you need the double jump brand. The jump and roll needs to be done on the same time .

[@SheenShots]

I have been trying to get that to work but its tough. I have no idea how two inputs is hard to do but it is for some reason lol

[@TheValiantBob]

@@SheenShots I know the glitch they're talking about. The way you would do it was to press roll, then immediately afterward press jump and forward at the same time. Almost like you're flicking yourself across the screen. Tricky to get the timing down, but once you learned it you could get into a rhythm and chain them together back to back and traverse the game very quickly (as well as do some neat sequence breaking too). Unfortunately the devs patched it out in the same update where they added the enhanced combat mode. They got rid of that as well as the wrong warp glitch, both of which were used by speedrunners. I never messed with the wrong warp stuff, but I loved the long jump glitch and was super bummed when I read the patch notes.

[@ignatiusdatu9106]

Hey sheen, I want to ask you which one is better salt and sanctuary or sacrifice bc i also play salt but the sacrifice not this one, thanks

[@SheenShots]

Salt and Sanctuary is by far the better of the two games. Think of it this way: Salt and sanctuary is better than the sequel in every regard except one. Weapon variety. The sequel has at least 8 different weapons for every weapon type that have unique abilities tied to them and a few even attack in their own way as well. Salt and sanctuary has good weapon variety, but the individual weapon types have very few options. Most of the time you will select your starting weapon type and upgrade it once into a boss variant and that's it. Some classes like two handed swords have exceptions since they stacked that weapon type with at least 6 cool options. But they GREATLY improved weapons and abilities overall in Salt and Sacrifice. Other than that I think they downgraded from the first game in a lot of ways. If you have not played the first at all it is 100% a must play for souls like enjoyers. Closest game you will ever get to the dark souls formula in my opinion.

[@sbravo3761]

What are your thoughts on salt and sacrifice?

[@SheenShots]

I recently beat it in coop with my brother. We beat every boss in a full run. The frustrating thing is that it really isn't much of a sequel, more like a different game entirely. Pros: amazing weapons, lots of boss fights to test your builds on, abilities tied to weapons makes fighting way more fun, you have essentially endless content, and there's tons of different ways to play through the game Cons: following mages back and forth or up and down is stupid, most of the level design is far worse than the first game and just annoying to traverse, unfair encounters are far too common, and the platforming feels worse than the first games from a handling perspective. Both are fun games in their own right, however the world design feels immensely better in the first game. Me and my brother constantly joked that we didn't really want to be playing the game. Just fighting the bosses. I will do a few "weapon" only runs in the sequel as well to get a better feel for it but salt and sanctuary is my favorite of the two right now.

[@The_Geni]

dude really just said it does very weak dmg and then killed the boss faster than he has ever killed him in a challenge run 5:40

[@SheenShots]

Ya that sounds odd based on the footage lol. I meant low damage overall. It absolutely wrecks Sodden Knight especially with super high wisdom that early.

[@KilaBOK]

Deus Vult? ;)

[@bahamut256]

Interesting run but the game looks like utter trash. Only 3 damage spells for the Dev to code and every one of them was glitched on one boss or another.

[@SheenShots]

Prayers are not really a damage source for the most part. They typically are used for buffs and healing. Magic on the other hand has fire spells, dark, lightning, and even a few summons. Prayers were just built a bit more into support rather than damage.
