Geez how long did this video take to make lol

[@Hello-ig1px]

why did you lie about when you were going to release this video? horrible, i guess you hate your fans.

[@GlaciusTS]

I have a question, not sure if there’s a clear answer… but is there some sort of deeper meaning behind the themes of duality in Elden Ring? We meet 2 very similar blind girls, 2 Mohg, 2 Astel, 2 Gurranq, and so on. We meet people with different forms in different locations, usually 2. Ranni seems to have some ghostly other self. Then we have characters with dual identities, and character who take on second names when they are possessed. We meet a pair of brothers, and when one dies, the other takes the mantle. Does this happen to remind us that death is impermanent? And what does that say about certain encounters that break the rules of duality? The 3 fingers as opposed to the 2? The many fingered hands? Even eyes, we meet Characters with one eye and no eyes. There seems to be some law of numbers happening in the background, in addition to laws of colors. And I haven’t seen anyone try to make sense of it yet.

[@clearlypellucid]

The Kaiden Sellswords are based loosely on the Varangian Guard of the Byzantine Empire, Viking mercenaries who were employed as elite bodyguards for the Emperor and his family. The Viking inspired helmet and fur reference a Nordic ancestry, and the odd combination of lamellar and gambesson looks kind of like Byzantine cataphract armor, which was frequently lamellar during certain periods of the empire.

[@miss_chalice]

I was waiting for some experts on armor through history to comment! Thank you so much! That's really interesting to learn more about!

[@JarkkoKuismanen]

History has some information that varangia guards use to be finland men. Also when finland was under swedish rule swedish use finland men to win wars and that way swedish men saved that way. We have also found some quality made swords that none else have. Swedish has lost these days.Dangerous country in the europe because drugs gangs wars and even mafia style criminals.

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

It's funny how Elden Ring fictional Vikings are more historically accurate than any ''history'' Viking portrayals.

[@brythonbrowning1950]

Yeah I thought the same thing about the Vangarian guard. I actually wish we had a proper vangarian helmet. A kettle helmet with a mail mask looks gorgeous.

[@brendo1143]

I know it has been 6 months, but I just wanted to add that their helmets look heavily inspired by pre Viking helmets of Vendel period. Look it up on google, they are almost identical desings

I'm glad Aurelia and Latenna were so high up. Aurelia instantly became my favorite summon. Who wouldn't want an adorable jellyfish friend? She beat Margit for me too. And Latenna was like a partner on my journey who also deleted so meant bosses I was stuck on.

[@hittman1412]

I find she’s quite good in really big boss rooms but in small ones if she gets aggro she will be deleted quickly

[@MadMadNomad]

I found it tricky to use Latenna effectively against most bosses (though it can be a fun challenge to try to keep her alive) but I love finding a nice, elevated sniping spot for her and clearing groups of tough enemies while she rains death from above. Those mountaintop ruins with all the Ancient Zamor guys were kicking my ass, until I realized a bit of the cliff above was juuuust barely in the summon area. She could pick them off with impunity, I just had to go down, lure them into her kill zone, and then run like hell. Some might call it cheese...I call it "Strategy" :)

[@spiraljumper74]

Had a fantastic time journeying with Latenna in my first playthrough. As a melee quality build, having ranged back up was great, and I felt very strategic trying to find Latenna the best sniping spot I could before starting a fight. In addition, she is great at drawing aggro due to her consistent hits, but you have to actively protect her. The push and pull style of combat when fighting with her was unforgettable. I also love that she had a whole side quest where you actually talked with her and her spirit guided you to the consecrated snowfield. She felt more like a traveling companion in that sense.

[@awendigowithinternetaccess4400]

Please tell me..? ^^

[@thewhitespectre]

@@awendigowithinternetaccess4400 Mimic Tear needs no explanation it is literally two of you against an enemy, bleed builds will straight up delete bosses Tiche can temporarily stop healing and keeps the max health down, she also does tons of damage from a distance, definitely good against Malenia Dung Eater is tanky asf and will survive the entire fight, he also does decent damage and debuffs bosses Kristoff is a leyndell knight with a big ass shield and a lightning spear Ogha is one of Radahn's knights with a long bow and gravity arrows Amon is the first blackflame monk...once again I need not explain how badass that is Floh is a bloodhound knight, aesthetic alone is worth using, not to mention he does not stop attacking until he dies the moment u summon him Lhutel is implied to to have intentionally killed herself so she can guard Godwyn's soul Finlay carried Malenia from Caelid to Elphael... Oleg and Engvall are not only 2 of the strongest summons but they also were legends in life who guarded a fortress against an army The Jellyfish has one of the saddest and most wholesome moments in the whole game...

[@Yottenburgen]

Knowing Elden Ring, Miranda sprouts are probably some corpse flower born from a dying noblewoman's venomous regrets

[@OscaReyLich]

Ogha is magnificent, versatile, powerful, tanky, and most importantly he keeps knocking Malenia over and over , he is my favorite ash by far and i always try to get him as fast as possible, even put some points on FP just to be able to summon him

[@nopestopnow3596]

Aw man I know people like to tease and say ‘mimic cheese’ but my tear really helped me out not just in the basic boss fight ways but others as well. Elden ring was my first ever souls game and mimic tear was my main summon for my first play through. At first I thought it was just really cool to have a clone of myself. But as I kept playing and progressing he went from a cool tool for to battles to a companion that taught me how to better practice self love. Seeing how fearlessly my tear would run into battle to take attention off me, I would have the opportunity to watch him battle enemies, seeing the ways in which he moved and used the weapons I had equip really helped me improve my own technique. My mimic also served as a great motivator for me whenever I felt I wasn’t good enough or getting discouraged from dying (which at times was a lot as I made the wise decision to start my first souls game as a bandit/assassin class lol). Seeing him battle with along side me showed me how much I can improve as long as I believed in myself. Going from staying back and making him weaken enemies for me just so I could come in last mine to pick them off, to running into a battle head on with strategy to defeat a mighty foe together. Even in fights where summons aren’t allowed or my tear dies early on, I never feel like I’m fighting alone, as I will always the confidence in me, myself, and I cause I know my mimic buddy is watching and cheering me on!

[@KanaraVeluna]

That was a great tier list and very relaxing to watch while drawing, especially since it was a long video. Thanks for that. My personal favourite were the twinmaidens. They stuck with me for the whole game after i got them, and were always reliable. It felt as if they were beside me even outside of the fights, like I could see them exploring ruins or new places along with me as some sort of "bodyguards" or companions. Dunno, but i think a magic nightmaiden and her personal guard stumbling across an enchanted knight and going on an adventure of sorts could make for a really good story.

[@dynactin8908]

When it comes to the demigods in the mausoleums, I think it’s best to refer to Marika’s speech to the demigods that Melina unveils to us at the Capital Outskirts grace. She tells them to make something of themselves, or amount to nothing but sacrifices. The ones in the mausoleums, in my mind, are the ones that weren’t successful in meeting her expectations (which were pretty unattainable but that’s beside the point), and so they were forsaken.

[@DemonRaz117]

It's awesome to see my comment read! Oleg got me through a lot of difficult fights, it's cool to see so many other people felt he was their favorite as well

That Defensive Perfume Tricia buff is really really good. If you notice the cloud she summons as soon as she summons it, you can stand inside it and if the opponent is unlucky enough you can actually get a few free attacks as the buff reapplies immediately after it wears off

[@darksoulsweeb3261]

this was a really great video and i loved the combination of not only explaining what the summons do in battle (giving me actual incentive to use some of them myself) as well as the lore of some of them. but i need to give some extra spotlight to my boi rollo. because he is not only an absolute unit with surprisingly high mobility due to his fire breath which enables him to disengage and get some breathing space while also working together great with frost builds since it resets the frostbite, but his overhead double smash which is reminiscent of the capra demon from dark souls 1. because this move, in addition to doing great poise damage and bleed build up to any other boss, can knock malenia out of her water fowl dance, which is such an impressive feature on it's own that he could just be able to do that and be a great summon, but it is just an addition to the bulk, dps and mobility he also provides.

[@miss_chalice]

Thank you! I wasn't sure initially what angle I wanted to take for this video - so in the end I decided to just include all EVERY aspect haha. Really happy to hear you thought it flowed well and successfully showcased an ash that caught your eye :) And Rollo is an absolute beast, agree

[@darkmatterpancake]

I have to say, Floh is a monster. Fighting alongside them pushes me to play risky and aggressive, and even if it fails I'm always having fun. And in PvP (with ashes enabled) Floh is relentless enough to demand attention, giving you space to breathe or dive in too.

My experience with the Great shield ashes was as a faith caster but here is a tip. Against the invisible black knife they seek her out, and, in my experience, because the black knives have a tendency to jump back, my soldiers had her pinned to the wall, no way to escape, no way to kill them, getting shield bashed to death, I was hurling dragon breath, but I easily didn't have to

[@omgwtfbbqness]

I'm a simple man I see an hour long video I grab some popcorn. Also I hope Mimic Tear isn't at the top its good but kinda boring. EDIT: Oooh Black Knife Tiche is my favourite good to see it above Mimic Tear! The whole dommy mommy thing is eh... not for me I just realised after fighting multiple black knives at that point including the gaol one that gives you the ashes how god damn annoying their move set is. It was incredibly cathartic to then have the ability to use that very same move set against my enemies. The literal definition of float like a butterfly sting like a bee. :)

[@Bob-nt8fr]

With Miquella on Torrent in the DLC art, I wonder if the lone wolf spirit ashes actually came from him too. If he is Torrent's former master, then the bell and ashes would have to have been his. Also it fits with Miquella, to take in creatures chased away from their original home. Great video!

The lone wolves, while not the best summon, are situationally OP. Fighting sorceror enemies like Renalla basically turn the boss into a punching bag.

Amon could have heavy reference to Sauron. The name of Mount Doom in Sindarin (which is one of Tolkiens languages) is Amon Amarth. And if you think about it Saurons original story, and the story of Amon, at least share a few similarities, being the a special kind of traitor to their people. Its of course speculation, but I think its incredible to see these small things

[@WretchedRedoran]

I loved my Demi-Humans to bits during my playthrough of Elden Ring. Because my class was Confessor, and I really played along with my class choice, my head-canon was that my Demi-Humans were converted by my Confessor, and became his flock so to speak. I remember, on my final attempt when I was fighting the Elden Beast, my Demi-Humans actually drew aggro just before the Elden Beast unleashed Elden Stars, saving me but sacrificing themselves in the process. They died a hero's death, each one of them.

Honestly I love the mausoleum soldiers, it feels as if I’m at the command of a squad of relentless soldiers, who despite their constant stager don’t truly falter until their forms become unstable once more

[@TomClarke1995]

I wish there was some effect from using summons in certain situations or key moments. Like if you invested care by tuning cleanrot knight Finlay, using her in the battle against Malenia would make the would-be rot goddess balk and come to her senses. Maybe Malenia would realize she failed to protect her brother and give up her great rune and start on a quest to avenge his kidnapping, albeit in a weakened state without her rune. Turning a boss into an NPC with a questline like that would be epic storytelling. I hope future Fromsoft titles invest more in the depth of storytelling rather than tweaking the combat systems more.

This may be the only time I’ve ever actually got something I saw in a KZbin sponsor. Thanks for introducing me to this, now I get blue wife and some really cool some effects on my PC!

Hugues de Payens was the co-founder of the Knights Templar, so that was immediately an obvious inspiration in my mind. The Templars were very much about justice, codes, and order, but also very much about going to battle for the beliefs.

Some of these comments describing why they like a particular summon are just beautiful. Shoutout to the one who takes the old bluntstone Noble with them on their journey!

For some reason I freaking love the jellyfish. She's just amazing, however I have been playing a little with the pack of wolves and it feels pretty rad

I've only used a handful, but I've kind of fallen in love with Jarwright. I was hoping for a Let Me Solo her, but he just tosses every type of Jar bomb. It's VERY VERY VERY helpful. He'll usually find some kind of weakness which, and nothing takes agro better then just random bottles smashing all over the place.

recently did an RP playthrough where i cast my tarnished warrior as asajj ventress and used black tiche as her 'nightsister'. loads of fun, sometime tricky as daggers range is poop but favourite playthough so far

I needed a new KZbin to learn/fall asleep to voice is soothing.

The look to camera for the Land Squirt ashes fucking kills me every time XD

[@tommunistdictator75]

The most voted spirit ash was the "Dommy mommy" ash 🤔 I think they're trying to tell you something

My tier list: 1. Black Knife Tiche 2. Mimic Tear 3. Greatshield Soldiers 4. Ancestral Follower 5. Dolores the Sleeping Arrow

[@theobell2002]

Dung eater puppet is definitely a top 5 summon.

[@SwayRod836]

@@theobell2002 I've never collected him, maybe one day.

[@kylegonewild]

@@theobell2002 Yeah from a pure performance perspective he's basically top 3 with Tiche and Tear. His omen burst and bleed procs chunk bosses, he soaks up a stupid amount of damage, and his regular melee still hits like a truck, all while being harder to rip aggro from than a lot of other melee summons.

[@HH-hd7nd]

@@SwayRod836 He's really strong, however I'd not rank him top 3 like @kylegonewild. In my experience Oleg outperforms him in terms of damage (but is a bit less tanky) while Engvall is a bit more tanky and has comparative damage. I'd also rank Latenna higher than him - you have to protect her and draw the aggro yourself and she needs a somewhat larger open area to shine, but her damage output is insane.

Note on the sleeping arrow: the lore suggest both Gideon and Seluvis were once friends but they both were in love with the Sleeping Arrow sparking a rivalry between them. See Seluvis’s took it to the extreme turning her into a puppet so Gideon could never have her.
