Dark Souls 3 Invasions - Grand Archives -

[@mlgwombat7487]

I made a character named guts because I heard that if you name your character guts and you never cosplay him people will send hatemail and I got tons

[@chaseblackstone8749]

MLG Wombat lol, people might mistake you for a weeb

[@thefrenchbastard1646]

lol so that is what that dude i saw a while back was doing

[@Unga_Bunga]

7:45 "The Dragon", "Destroyer" and "doom". Looks like you invaded a bunch of 3rd graders.

[@lolbro989]

Hi, I was one of the shrimp in the hentai re-creation and I can confirm, the lothric knight in the video put in a lot of effort, making me the proud shrimp I am today. He was my mentor and was like a father to me, so it saddens me to see him pass. At least he died doing the thing he does best, squishing traitors like PS.

[@saintriot]

Andy Hui you're a brave prawn. Knight was so proud of you.

[@TheAlpha0014]

CSS actually stands for Crystal Seaths Semen

[@saintriot]

WTF_Vendrick this is lore now.

[@sunlightsage2982]

saint_riot SS would just be a different kind of sunlight "spear" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@dapperdan530]

Anyone else get caught up in the combat and the NEED for the stupid gankers to die, then when you tune back in to what Riot is saying, it's "And so he had to raise the shrimp as his brothers since they were his father's anus babies...." It's like the definition of WTF.

[@saintriot]

Dapper Dan I laughed so hard at this comment I choked.

[@dapperdan530]

You're welcome!

[@LautrecOfCarim]

Seath actually betrayed the everlasting dragons because they never read any of the mangas he recommended.

[@AndrewBenningfield-ji3iw]

Heh.

[@Solyssey]

I hate invaders that help a gank fest. Truly a tumor among an already dead horse.

[@Grizz92]

D. Evil The other day I was AF invading, and I was up against a 3 man gank squad by myself. A red invaded and I was like "ok some backup, let's go!" The red immediately attacks me. I get away with my obscuring ring and the red is instantly raped by the gankers. Like, was it worth it guy? I really don't get these people.

[@Grizz92]

Iudex Gundyr Sometimes it's strategic. For example if it's a 3 man gank squad versus two AF invaders and a red invader, and the red invader is playing stupid and keeps friendly fire hitting both the AF's, it's sometimes better to kill the red and free up that spot for another AF to invade. That's the only time I would attack a fellow invader.

[@sunlightsage2982]

Cory B Plus you get some estus back and you have 1 less player that can hit you.

[@thefrenchbastard1646]

WTF how can you even call yourself an proper invader with a statement like that? the invaders job is to ruin the game for other players WHICH INCLUDES OTHER INVADERS YOU P**** :P

[@Zatweeb]

D. Evil then after the invader helps the host kills them anyways

[@Elbon-the-Lolinator]

Thank you for cleaning up the library. I can now read my Shakespeare in peace and cleanliness. R.i.p Hentai Knight

[@Voidwalker0]

Seriously, the Grand Archives is such a fantastic level. Even the run up to Lothric is really fun to invade despite the lack of verticality. Really strong enemies and good placement gives you tons of options as an invader too. Unfortunately I've never had a sick cage fight at the top of the level. Maybe some day.

[@saintriot]

Kazadog I had a beautiful cage moment dry fingered the other day. Two invaders chased me down there. Dropped to the scaffold and great bowed them off. It was beautiful.

[@TR-ru7wl]

saint_riot By two invaders you mean Mikkoto and Lord Grim...

[@iamamish]

I'm rewatching this video in awe of your invasion prowess. It's all the little things you do, like shooting a greatbow into an elevator in an attempt to separate the party. Genius.

[@AlrauneDollmind]

The blueberry who goes _careening in_ at 13:25 had me laughing so hard oh gods That whole invasion was a debaucle and a half! Shithead Guts mocking with Applause and constantly summoning more dudes, holy shit am I glad you put him down x//x

[@ricksanders3967]

The only thing more satisfying than killing a host and his whole entourage is killing traitorous reds. I mean, at least be a purple if you're gonna go after another invader. They were supposed to be the unpredictable ones and not beholden to anyone.

[@TheAkANIMAL907]

Dude! The Dungeon Master voice invasions are the best! Please do more! Also, best invasion content creator out here!

[@hotbeatz0]

Ah so I DID invade you the other day! I was using my in-progress lvl 60ish something character (named Luisa Rey, I think), and first thought 'wow this host actually knows what the're doing', followed by 'and seems suspiciously Saint Riot-ish'. There was another invader, lots of elevator shenanigans...wish I would have played better but it went on for awhile and was def the most fun invasion I've had in awhile. Would love to watch that one back.

[@saintriot]

www.twitch.tv/videos/160354431

[@hotbeatz0]

Amazing! Gg, glad it was good for you too.

[@pincognito1938]

Beautiful and clever play with that Millwood Bow on the elevator.

[@saintriot]

Surprised it worked that well to be perfectly honest.

[@mtlacunae8659]

These videos help on shitty nights. Thanks man.

[@MViper757]

Entertaining vid! Reminds me spider-man's way of speaking. xD speaking of which you probly find me in the comics section right where the the first lothric knight guards what we think to believe is the crystal chime but what he really cares about are the old DC and marvel classics hidden there in the top shelf. Keep it up big boy!

[@Psiberzerker]

LOL, the "Hidden Manga Trove." That's where the Sage (II) hides all her Shotacon Ecci.

[@Psiberzerker]

Most players don't know this, but the Sages both love little boys, crossdressing little boys, in French maid outfits, with prison striped panties.

[@Psiberzerker]

Also, the book hands are to catch, hold, and fondle little boys when they run away. That's the real Curse of the Crystal Sages.

[@iamamish]

First! EDIT: never before in any of your videos, or maybe in *anyone's* videos, have I seen more unlikable parties. It wasn't that I enjoyed seeing you dismantle them, I NEEDED you to crush them under your big, strong boy boot heels. Saint delivered.

[@Notsoshady4891]

saint _ riot was was a wrecking ball this episode.

[@AlrauneDollmind]

I completely agree with your Edit statement. ♥ These moments are why we invaders do what we do.

[@rseking]

I just found your channel and I love it. We have pretty much the same invader playstyle and weapon preference so I'm picking up tons of tricks. thanks my dude

[@jbowman1018]

LOL I love your little stories. That stuff cracks me up.

[@Zatweeb]

That Blue cleric with the iPad must've been watching dragon maid hentai

[@saintriot]

I feel like you would know that.

[@iDrunkRS]

The SOTN library track kicking in at 10:15 was so good. Perfect fit for the Archives.

[@dapperdan530]

This HAS to be my favorite place to invade! I LOVE the vertical of the level. The diversity of enemies. The pressure of the boss at the end. The numerous places to hide and plunge attack. You can go in the rafters and hide and piss them off. It is just an amazing level!

[@protonjones54]

13:56-14:34 is the funniest dark souls commentary/gameplay I've seen all year rofl

[@JayQuilson]

I jizz every time you use the library from SotN. I love that soundtrack so much.

[@TheKing-qz9wd]

Applause. Also it took a few months but now I am intrigued about the music around 11 minutes. I think I already know it, but I can't remember anything other than modified Mozart.

[@the1bigbadwolf]

Subscribed. You had me cracking up and you survived 3 gank squads

[@addicted2SODA1]

I'm sorely disappointed in the lack of Lothric holy sword weapon arts. You could have pew pew'd them so many times :/

[@MrCoolioto]

dude, this video is kickass. i hope we see more of that faith build too, love the fashion and love the kit. you could probably keep extra regular firebombs in your inventory and swap them to your hotbar if you ever run out, like you did at 4:40. 20 isn't ever enough :D

[@iamamish]

One underrated item IMO is the lightning urn. They do good damage regardless of your build, but if you have faith, those things hit like a truck. Best of all, you can carry 20 at a time.

[@ArunNarasimhan_arun1997107]

I love these narrated invasions. Subbed!

[@affenarsch9400]

Oh man. You have great humor and story telling skills.

[@k10kitten]

DUDE!!! Is this music from Adventurs in the Magic Kingdom on NES! the haunted house level!!! I LIVE !! yesss.

[@sawcondezz5456]

What tis the point of thy massive shaft of dis not swing with it?

[@ColorlessFog]

Dude... just... bravo Great tactics, hilarious theme, elevator game straight on point

[@domperidone2654]

Saint, I dunno how you do it, but your commentary is getting more and more entertaining each time.

[@saintriot]

I'm trying to be entertaining without "forcing" it but the pressure is definitely mounting.

[@domperidone2654]

It's not easy to find the right /healthy balance of how much influence the outside pressure should have. I'm rooting for you.

[@evesplate]

"The hands of Dewey Decimal" fucking killed me. Good job.

[@IceDragon1377]

I think this is your funniest video to date LoL

[@Fano2311]

A good trick in this area is to use the curl up gesture underneath the crystal sage after he teleports for the first time and then ambush the host from within when he attacks him

[@lemeres2478]

verticality, squip herpies, manga, and a holy knight.

[@ПетрТрифонов-х8р]

Usually then i see "Guts" on the invasion i read it like "Coward" or an "Asshole". But this guy was pretty chill, interact with invader in some positive manner, and actually deserve respect :)

[@sunday_lav7823]

The lore in this video is so fucking deep, Vaati disappeared from my subscriptions.

[@tomohawkjohn7410]

This dude has some of the cleanest fashion souls I've seen.

[@ethangrant8026]

Right when i heard about mr lothric knights father, i felt i just had to like the video. Its such a tragic story. Everyone that reads this please, a moment of silence

[@marcelkran9349]

oh yeah baby, i'll show you MY VERTICALITY love you saint

[@harryp3092]

"Japanese Cartoon Colouring Books" Couldn't have worded it better

[@zedre7633]

Man, I don't know why Seath even had that much tentacle doujin. Mo'focka was blind!

[@geade6329]

Loving the castlevania sound tracks in theese videos

[@sigilyph_with_a_gun1184]

"Phantom Guts has returned home, invaded the world of Host of Embers Guts." Why is that so funny?

[@HalozillaEX]

Saint doing his part in keeping anime out of dark souls. Good shit.

[@lemeres2478]

Hey- you have never seen a true Japanese big boy until you look at the monster hunter scene.

[@Vrael7777]

Man, this lasy invasion was absolutely insane. Awesome skill. Think about uploading to Sunlightblade or sth.

[@pray2313]

"This is a mother fucking Jo-Jo reference" > Dead.

[@qwormuli77]

That lothric knight's tragic tale earned you a like!

[@qwormuli77]

The rest of the video got you a sub. Terrific job, man.

[@klingon401]

For me, a Paladin uses a hammer and a large shield, buffs allies/heals them and is a massive tank against all damage

[@Shiningforceking]

Okay, that hentai-knight back story; fucking hilarious man. keep posting theses, thumbs up.

[@ezio3919]

I really like your channel ! i can watch u all day 🌷

[@penworthy4233]

It's Benedict Arnold I believe

[@chaseblackstone8749]

PraiseTheBow yis

[@adude9610]

PraiseTheBow Benedict Cumberbatch is Sherlock and Doctor Strange. Wtf

[@prhecuh]

Lol the edgy guts guys who clapped every time u killed someone and summoned phantoms was so pretentious

[@darkpyromania1757]

I think I invaded this character a few days ago here, I got rekt cuz I need to practice. But thank you for getting me into invasions.

[@graylyhen9490]

This is an obvious choice, but seeing you invade and give your thoughts at post-Pontiff Irithyll and Anor Londo would be fantastic. It'd also be great if you'd do another theme meme video like you did at Carthus Catacombs. No pressure, though. The comedy and theme should come naturally and feel right, not forced from request. Always good when you like what you did with your work

[@AkosKovacs.Author.Musician]

Damn, these anime conventions are spicy for sure.

[@HashTheGrappler]

love invading in the archives, even have sum juicy gank spank clips in the area as a black knight cosplay :p

[@isaiahl2593]

The betrayer of america plays sherlock holmes apparently.

[@tonyichiban2144]

"Ten bucks says its Escaflowne." I had to pause it. You're killing me 😂😂😂.

[@friendlyfire4030]

Tony Ichiban what's wrong with that?

[@tonyichiban2144]

Nothing, I used to watch that as a kid. It's just such an obscure reference and I wasn't expecting it. Hence the laughter.

[@TheKrensada]

10:10 Perfect grand archives music right there.

[@michaelreeves71676]

I fucking love your comments,u make me laugh so hard every time I watch your videos. That lothric knight wad passed huh,lol

[@amadhollow635]

Someone else mentioning escaflowne What a time to be alive

[@Xxxsorrow]

6:02 why do people keep doing that? What does it mean (if anything)? I don't play PvP, so I have no idea, but I've seen it in almost all PvP videos.

[@H2O_Chi]

2:50 So true! It baffles me why other invaders help a host they don't even know.. who by the way is going to backstab the red if you die. It's satisfying to kill those stupid traitor invaders but it's even more satisfying to back off and have the host and their phantoms waste the red. It's like: "yeah, a lot of good that did you huh red?"

[@Psiberzerker]

Great map to Invade, and a great time to catch most PvE players. Especially Gank Squads, because of all the opportunities to separate the party, and pick off stragglers.

[@harveydent1731]

Never lost a host to an invader.

[@mysticalbroccoli4281]

Love the Symphony of the Night music

[@Uriseph]

Had me at "squidling waifus."

[@junoglrr9119]

So many Guts in this game

[@richarde98]

He's using his iPad as a shield...

[@evangrimgram2504]

Archdragon Peak?

[@emav100]

What stories hear about the knights at the lotric castle.

[@villelepoaho4105]

You should do sneaky invasions in the Untended Graves

[@PaulRees77]

Love the commentary. Very funny.

[@TheValiantBob]

Damn that is some nice fashion, mind if I steal it? Alva helm, silver knight chest, Alva gauntlets, and elite knight leggings right?

[@saintriot]

TheValiantBob correct and that's fine.

[@Hura_the_Blessed]

Try havels gauntlets on that

[@blazingninja17]

Hey saint what armor are you wearing in the last invade at 10:17 ?

[@brog4037]

What about invading in the madness that is the dreg heap in its entirety?

[@CopeOrRope751]

That's probably where they're going to put the starbucks. Ffs. :'D

[@Notsoshady4891]

Nice Symphony of the Night soundtrack

[@CEOofDontCareInc]

where's the big black sweaty boy sword with the big boy poise

[@pyroflan1029]

sotn library theme, great music -> great game!

[@muxperience]

20,000 dollars for mecha robot house? I'd pay that

[@MrMan-ij5sr]

the resident evil music tho 😍

[@Nimori]

Teach me in the ways of the knight

[@TheGamingSandvich]

I should actually invade in these areas instead of only doing Pontiff and Undead Match duels

[@iamamish]

If you like to invade, I recommend starting off at High Wall, and just working your way through each (invade-able) bonfire. You'll almost certainly find new favorite areas you'd never previously considered.

[@saintriot]

Spectral Washing Machine pontiff is cancer.

[@TheGamingSandvich]

*O* *h*

[@vanosthemadtitan1775]

Jesus Christ your commentary is hilarious.

[@riccardiste]

Hey saint in your opinion what are the best pvp weapons in the game right now? oh and great video btw

[@JSMsoloman5000]

This is why i never use embers in ds3. They just get you killed

[@krustykruss9685]

i just got back from the hentai crusades. we didnt find shit and all ive got to show for it is PTSD and blueballs

[@maxgillespie2707]

How the fuck do you come up with this stuff, it's so good saint

[@Oldaccountbackup]

Like that age of empires music

[@spacedudemark255]

I kinda want to see Saint use a curved greatsword, because I like how they look and all but I have no clue what to do with them...

[@JuanEsquivel-ex8nv]

ThatGuyMarkV try to use it like you would use a ultra greatsword, force trades, turn'n burn a lot and try chipping their estus and punishing with your running attack. The WA and r2 have some utility: WA's (harald: fast attack that can combo easily and has some poise, better for turning and burning. Exile and kumo: tons of poise, combos with r1 and makes tons of damage, good as a single attack, it won't one shot anyone, but, be sure that it'll cost 2 estus if you get the 3 hits. Old wolf: two hits that at the same time makes you retreat, not as fast as the exile blender, but still does the job) R2's are good as wake up attacks because of the weird walk that confuses people (it walk 2 steps before stomping people into the ground). Overall points: stack poise, be aware of the second r1 hitbox to your left and *USE THE RUNNING ATTACK*.

[@iamamish]

+10 for Juan - everything with the curved GS is built around the running attack. Buffer your running attacks, get good at those, and everything else will fall into place.

[@brankoa229]

10:38 how do you do that running heavy attack while standing still?

[@amadhollow635]

Press forward r2 Its been in the games since before you could running r2. Its called a leap/jump attack

[@Oldaccountbackup]

Is that age of empires music
