Ruptured tears are for pvp. No more no less.

35:29. That is, in fact, not the case.

[@Hunni125]

nasty job on the duo, the takers flame really held its weight that fight. second try wihtout summons is very impressive

[@AchenarTV]

Yeah Taker's Flames almost too good

[@cordeth1]

@@AchenarTV Like you said end of last EP, getting to the pointy end of things now. Glad to see you back with half decent armour and a true FAITH/STR weapon. To avoid the salt you need to bring your A game, save fashion souls for NG+ :) And yeah pretty good effort with the Duo. You know what I feel like after a wiener and jelly rolls? A kip, under the gental glow of purple light ;)

[@Sofagorilla]

Great job noticing the little things, as always. Watching you theory craft and keep track of soany small details has been one of the great joys of this authrough. Also, second try Godskin Duo is crazy work. Takers Flames is so strong for how far it travels, which is great for dealing with ganks. Can't wait to see you get further in Farum Azula next time!

[@AchenarTV]

Cheers for that! Already recorded the next couple episodes and super looking forward to sharing 'em with y'all

[@gruiadevil]

Typical reaction when entering the Godskin Duo fight 1. Why is that summon sign there? 2. F this, I'm summoning

[@Sophie.A.]

Yesss, you spotted our big boi, Alexander! Oh how I'm glad that you came back here.

[@badger7048]

I'm glad you're enjoying Farum Azula - I think it might be my favourite area in the game. Also, I have to say (now that I'm finally *able* to say it, armed with an actually working tablet at last), this has altogether been the best playthrough of ER I've ever watched - I love the way you play the game.

[@AchenarTV]

Gratz on having a working tablet!

[@badger7048]

😄​ I mean, it's just nice now to be able to do that most simple thing of showing appreciation for a methodical and thoughtful - and *well-played*, exemplified by the already-recognised taking down of the Godskin Duo in just 2 attempts - playthrough. The game deserves to be as thoroughly explored and analysed as this. Great stuff.

[@RyleyAtk]

Some really keen observational skills on display in this episode, which is nothing new for this playthrough, but still, wanted to give props as a lot of people miss things that you have a pretty keen eye for - great stuff as always :)

[@philfenghan]

2:21:24 DLC! DLC! Can’t wait to see you exploring Haligtree and the shadow tree together, plus the tree in flames- a campaign of trio holy trees!

[@Sophie.A.]

Farum Azula is so interesting and beautifully unique. The music in this area is mesmerizing, both melancholic and ethereal. And I adore the bosses.

[@PDog69]

Ohh? For me this area has the worst boss in the game lol and not the one you think

[@Sophie.A.]

@PDog69 Oh really? Which one, I'm definitely intrigued! Don't forget the spoiler warning of course :)

[@PDog69]

@@Sophie.A. the boss I hate the most, maybe even in the entire game, spoiler warning of course: Maliketh but only phase 1. His attacks are so crap

[@Sophie.A.]

@@PDog69 I actually agree with you, and it may be the only gripe I have about this area (I have many more otherwise hahaha). I wish this boss was exclusively its second phase, which is so much more interesting: the design, the attacks, the lore implications etc. I understand the first phase was needed but it should have been shorter, just a tool to indicate that there was a plot twist brewing all along.

[@TSpoon823]

After some binging, I'm finally caught up and so excited to watch where things go from here.

[@DarkkZedd]

FIRES OF SLUMBER TIP: Its not the fire from the aow that applies sleep but the fire on the ground which has sleep smoke. It would be better to free-aim the aow on the ground to apply sleep.

[@nickwatts1262]

rupture tear plus twiggy tear. if your in a fight that you know you cant win and want to keep you ruins, thats a way to do it.

[@ReversedCentaur]

Blasphemous blade ash of war is ridiculously powerful.

[@aathmpsn]

RUPTURED TEAR: I've seen people use it as the final hit on a boss. Its very risky and silly, making it a high risk/high reward(feeling wise) especially if its a boss thats giving you a hard time.

[@Rangelzinh]

I feel so much agony from him having more upgrade materials than me and yet we never use them 😭

[@Rangelzinh]

Please let’s us pray so he will upgrade his shields, spirits and weapons soon

[@Shinguru]

GAMEPLAY SUGGESTION BELOW (not suggestion but very very rare and funny thing about latenna) When you fight wolves like Lobo and have summoned Latenna, she starts to ride one of the wolves just like other albunoric archers.

[@newtrotony]

RUPTURED TEAR USE CASE . . . . . . . . . Troll low level invasion builds 😂 not much else to it tbh. Miyazaki is a troll at heart. Like saying there are no plans for Elden Ring a week before Nightreign announcement

[@AchenarTV]

LMAO I should have known

[@vanpaiaa]

You finally got to listen to the 2nd half of the Godskin Apostles theme ingame. You used it before in that episode where the game audio didn't record (vs the apostle in the windmill village) but I didn't want to point it out because it'd be a spoiler. Not sure if you actually listened to it while editing though.

[@Boyrum1]

Wandering Merchant's Grave (Above the 3 fingers). You missed important loot for your specific playthrough. Go back and get it. Do not be a monkey.

[@simongomes7250]

Not a spoiler here. Go back and watch the fight against Vyke to realize something about the lighting spear

[@ViralMag_Ravager]

Ruptured Crystal tears Spoiler........ They are mainly a pvp item, making the invader a 1750hp HOLY bomb. Since they do holy damage and can be effected by damage buffs such as Howl of Shabriri, Golden Vow, etc they alternatively can be used as massive damage to enemies weak to holy damage such as Deathright birds if timed correctly. But still mainly used as a 1 shot kill by invaders as even 1 tear baselines at 800hp holy damage add holy shrouding cracked tear for 20% damage and Howl of Shabriri for 40% (irrc) damage buff that stacks you can 1 shot most players below level 100(?) who have not invested in Vigor.

Man why did u stop? You were co close to her

You're still here huh?

Honestly even if he continued he was probably like some 4 episodes out judging by how thoroughly he explores lol

@@PDog69 I was waiting for that Malenia reaction but his overwhelming with his back and forth. Just finish a section then move on
