Dark Souls 3 Invasions - VERTICALITY -

[@krustykruss9685]

I believe it was contemporary philosophiser Timbo, who once said that only if you're a blue summon, Can you parry throwing knives

[@spacedudemark255]

Like the great Biggie Smalls once said: "Hold up homies, I'm gonna ice this fool"

[@jessecarlsheppard536]

Yes, the phantom runs when the host dies, the phantom must SUMMON MORE HOSTS! 8:29

[@saintriot]

Jesse Carl Sheppard Oh hush.

[@ecto_specto4521]

@Jesse Carl Shepard this the best comment

[@Rehvion]

Looks like my highschool philosophy textbook wasn't really up to date... Good video Saint

[@saintriot]

Rehvion Italian text books are probably not up to date. Unlike the glorious education system we have here in the United States.

[@junoglrr9119]

textbooks in school aren't meant to tell the truth lmao

[@DeadBotetes]

I believe Petrarch once said: "To backstab someone off a ledge is an act of the wise. For verticallity is the way of God and so the bad man falls from his grace by the act of the good" Trust me, it's in his dialogues with Saint Augustine.

[@junoglrr9119]

Maximiliano Zacarías gravity kills everybody!

[@DeadBotetes]

Gravity is God's will my son, he indeed is the last boss of Dark Souls.

[@GrassToucher-]

"Look at this" -Louie C.K.

[@iamamish]

I don't remember that Sun Tzu quote. Must have been the King James translation.

[@saintriot]

iamamish it's been translated a lot. This was in the original Chinese texts.

[@epsdudez]

I believe it was the great Abraham Lincoln that once said "Do not misattribute quotes on the internet."

[@saintriot]

Epsdude Z a wise man. Up until he said, "I'd like to sit in front of John Wilkes Booth".

[@cosmovult]

"Use shock and awe... to really fuck up phantoms" - Gen. Douglas MacArthur

[@saintriot]

William Johnson truly a tactical mastermind.

[@sunlightsage2982]

“ITS OVER CASULS I HAVE THE VERTICAL GROUND!” “YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY SKILL!” “DONT TRY IT!” “AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!” *_ROLLING AND CHUGGING INTENSIFIES SO HARD THEY BURN ALIVE_*

[@OrphanMartian]

There's a mistake in there. I believe it was actually the late philanthropist Anthony Hopkins who said, "A man's ignorance to the effects of gravity is directly proportional to the amount of password summons he retains."

[@maxenfelter]

Love all the great historical quotes! What a well-read guy.

[@saintriot]

Maxenfelter I believe it was an advert for the encyclopedia I bought that said, "impress people with the quotes in here." History serves.

[@HollinHexen]

that one shortcut in the ring city just boggles my head, didn't know that exist.

[@z3bra_f0untain36]

As the great philosopher, Kirkegaard, once said: "damn boi, that's some sexy gravity at work."

[@saintriot]

Z3bra_ Fountain truly the antithesis of Schopenhauer who said "everything is a shitpost".

[@SylversunDS]

I think it was the great philosopher Obiwan Kenobi who said the wise words: "It's over Anakin, I have the high ground!"

[@Merapsco]

H. G. Wells once wrote "If we don't end verticality, verticality will end us". Timbo, the fool he was, may not have known much, but by god did he R1 himself into an early grave.

[@sunlightsage2982]

As said in the Bible of saint_riot... In the chambers of the cathedral of the deep... It is said “Verticality giveth, yet verticality taketh away. Give unto verticality your very soul, and verticality will aid you in thine darkest hour.” BLESS VERTICALITY AMEN Don’t forget my silver cat ring, Dad

Bill Cosby's thesis on epistemic distance is a favorite of mine, glad you're giving him the latent recognition he deserves.

Why does anyone good enough to make a dark souls channel always sound like my drunk uncle rambling? Granted my uncle is pretty intelligent, he still rambles and sounds like this dude.

[@saintriot]

The Krispy Krusty Kreme I am your uncle. Please don't tell people you found this channel.

[@ProjectGoof]

Verticality Ft Gravity - Falling in love with the level Edit: omg dude that Luis joke, i could hear the should i yolo it battle going on in your dead. so damn good

[@saintriot]

Project Goof a match made in heaven, a joke made in hell...

[@rzarekta93]

I believe it was the philosopher St. Riot who once said, "The verticality giveth, and the verticality taketh away." #historyserves

[@user-mm4ep5fo4w]

Holy shit saint ur oroboro impression is astonishing

[@emma-rz7mf]

"I believe it was the philosopher Kitty Genovese who said 'Silence is Golden'" holy shit lmao

[@ORBrunner]

I always loved levels where you can ambush hosts with such a trick as VERTICALITY. Grand Archives, Profaned Capital, Ringed CIty (especially Ringed City Streets with the Harald Guardians patrolling them), Dreg Heap, High Wall of Lothric... I fell in love with ambush/trap/hit&run tactics because my win/loss rate was boosted tremendously in positive way when i started to actually THINK about positioning and actual philosophy of each level. It is the most possible way to destroy ganks since nearly nobody invading the Grand Archives and hosts always have shit ton of phantoms here. Thank you, Saint! You actually reinvented DS3 for me and inspired to invade with ferocious enthusiasm. RIp and Tear the hosts... Until it's done

[@lsal5683]

"Dark souls 4 is just gonna be bonfires, as far as the eye can see" - 4 years early but not so far off in that assessment...

[@hecticpain5173]

Sun Tzu clearly understood war. Like Saint here. Giving us brilliant knowledges.

[@malafazzle7966]

"I believe it was the philosopher Bill Cosby who said 'just have a taste'" LMAO

[@Gnurklesquimp]

Wow, THAT's Castlevania music? I think I recognize a motive in there but wouldn't have thought until the organ hints at it. Sounds so jazzy for a vampire theme, I like how creative and eclectic Japan gets with their themes and influences

[@SarahC-by4cs]

I come back and re-watch this video every once in awhile. You have a lot of great videos but this one really gives me that wave of DS3 invasion love.

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

i believe it was the philosopher mary poppins who said "always get major air before you kickflip on a mark-ass bitch"

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

*famously. she famously said that.

[@aille617]

"Philosopher Oroboro" *slow clap* loved it.

[@SnipeshotMclovin]

I never Thought of Using Rotten Pine Resin on the Crow Quills, then using the weapon art like a Multiple Poison Knives! My favorite weapon just got that much better

[@iamamish]

Yeah that is a SirGrayFox special. It's really fucking annoying to fight. :D

[@saintriot]

Learned that from Sir GrayfoxA. Also works with carthus rouge or frost weapon.

[@Jemmekk]

super secret invisible magic hoverbike at 4:29

[@saintriot]

Jemmekk haha nice. At first I thought they tried to disconnect but I think it was blue summon lag.

[@SunLovinSolaire]

I love that you used Death By Glamour

[@xXxMETALISFOREVERxXx]

The music!

[@CreamySun582]

As the philosopher Ajit Pai once said, "thou shalt never duel at the bonfire". Truer words have never been spoken.

[@flyinglater]

Not sure if you know, but of you go off a big fall that kinda of makes your character like kinda stagger forcing you not to be able to move, you can press left or right on the d-pad right before you hit the ground and it'll completely skip that animation without switching your weapon either

[@saintriot]

flyinglater like a toggle escape? Cool!

[@flyinglater]

Yep works just like it did in dark souls 1 :)

[@kazj4908]

thanks for that tip

[@iamamish]

Say WHAT? Thanks!

[@Pompadourius]

You've been visited by the Edgelord Poiseboy of Quiet Resolve. Strong plunge attacks and greatsword roll catches will come to you, but only if you type "Sleep tight Timbo" in a reply.

[@saintriot]

Mr. Exion sleep tight, Timbo.

[@christophercollins3632]

[@aweinspyerd2112]

Sometimes I have to watch the video more than once because I get caught up in the BG music and start to remember the good ole times I had with those games...

[@spartanocalypse3925]

Loved all the music you used in the background. Great video.

[@saintriot]

[@johncourtney8508]

Ah, I too love the wise insights of Zapp Brannigan. I see you're an avid fan, even adhering to his less well-known quote, "never post a video at a reasonable time."

[@pookiepow2058]

Where ever you went to school to learn those quotes, I wanna go there!

[@Square_nothing]

Content doesn't get any better than this, game play wise and writing wise, hats off to you man.

[@TR-ru7wl]

I'm not even going to move forward, backward, or side to side. I'm only moving up and down. I really better spawn next to a ladder.

[@iiequinox8044]

I did a little experiment when it came to wielding staffs on offhand or manhand. I found out that it's a much better idea to wield the staff on the mainhand with a parrying shield on the offhand. People hate sorcerers with a passion, so they'll want to be agressive as possible. But not only does the shield rob them of their agressive options, but you cam even parry people who roll your spells.

[@saintriot]

lI iiEquinox Il yeah its a solid idea, but I've already got two weapons in my right hand and I hate having three.

[@iiequinox8044]

saint_riot Yeah, I do realize you utilize a heavy and light weapon usually. But it's an idea I think should be used now. Thanks for giving feedback though!

Bonaparte Napoleon said once "The truest of wisdom is a curved greatsword combined with a plunging attack."

[@saintriot]

Ákos Kovács and that guy won a lot of battles.

[@AkosKovacs.Author.Musician]

saint_riot too bad I'm not.

[@erblecde]

saint you should try out the storyteller staff on your int build. if i remember correctly the poison from the weapon art does significantly more than regular poison and turns shit into minefield with the other aoe sorceries.

[@saintriot]

erblecde good idea!

[@VibratingDolphinNow]

Damn this is my favorite Dark Souls video. Nice narration, great composition. 10/10 would bang senseless

[@stillshakes5499]

I believe it was the late great Colonel Sanders who said, "I'm to drunk to taste this chicken."

[@saintriot]

Still Shakes wtf? Is that real or a reference to something I have to know.

[@FKyoutubeSERIOUSLY]

@@saintriot I am reeeally late, but it's a reference from Talladega Nights.

[@iamamish]

So, I LOVED the plunge attacks from the rafters of the Archives. I'll definitely have to give that a try. Also, what the hell was up with the parry at 11:27? Throwing knife parries?

[@Lu22H]

iamamish parry kings will be parry kings

[@Elbon-the-Lolinator]

Luc- Hart- Parry Gods**

[@Lu22H]

iamamish thanks for the sub I guess haha

[@ravenofash9234]

Damn, that plunge attack was epic!

[@ianadams8726]

Saint, that Kitty Genovese quote.... what the fuck, man.

[@RevoltingSnakeman99]

Ian Adams Oh my. Kitty Genovese never said that. She couldn't say it. Unfortunately, she was already dead. Saint, you had me rolling on the floor with that one!

[@saintriot]

The running gag was the quotes get darker the longer the video goes. That was the finale.

[@ianadams8726]

saint_riot Ah, didn’t quite pick up on that the first time, guess I’ll have to give it another view

[@Sirgrayfoxa]

dude I love your fucking music choices. so much nostalgia. I'm so glad I found your videos, I've only really focused on 1v1 pvp until now but it has grow stale. after hearing your thoughts on invasions i've decided to do a dried finger playthrough and start working on invasion characters

[@kaikalii]

This is the best Dark Souls III KZbin channel. Your commentary is both helpful and funny.

[@saintriot]

as an obscure philosopher once said; relatively new to your content mate, absolutely loving your work.

[@pincognito1938]

An entire video memeing on philosophers... and no Zizek impression!!!! Sir. Sir!! I really liked this video, saint. And I love the Silvercat Ring so much, I leave it on even in situations where the level presents nothing but horizontality.

[@D-Havoc]

5:56 what killed that player after you threw the quills? Did the quills build up poison?

[@saintriot]

DeeperHavoc yup.

[@D-Havoc]

That's great. Does it work with infusions or just the resin?

[@saintriot]

DeeperHavoc no infusions only resins and buffs. Bleed, poison or Frost bite will build up status effects.
