I don't know if you'll see this but it often feels like you're one of the last truly great video game content creators on the platform. Every time I see a new upload in in my notifications I already know it's gonna be great, and not to say you had a "bad" start but thinking back on when I was watching your Top Dark Souls Rocks video back in middle school it's insane how far you've grown as a content creator. Not even halfway through this video and I'm already excited for whatever's coming next.

Alot of the dlc useful so i presume 1flatnerf until that isnt the case anymore and everyone is a mage Sure dude with a big weapon ir a bleedbuild again

[@LaymensLament]

most of the people who said its too hard probably are hardliners who want to feel skilled by restricting their play to the very core. theres a lot you can do and if you use all options only the last boss is quite something imho.

[@yinlo5876]

It's actually really good paired with the new talisman, each time a rat dies you refresh that 20% ar buff lol

[@ExileTwilight]

@@LaymensLament Most of the big bosses for me went "oh wtf give me a second to breathe!" to "oh this was easy.." once I used ashes. I at least wanted to give learning the bosses a try, some are just too relentless to the point any mistake will often lead to a cycle of healing > punish until you get one-combo'd.

In the empty village in the secret area you can find the tree healing spell Melina uses. And it's description states that it is (on some level) the village Marika was raised in. Also Miquellas kiss marks you, and if he does it while you're marked it insta-kills you

100% first time I heard Randy, I thought indie had started a new career

[@nafereuskortex9055]

5:29 Melanias old uncle would be a big deal to learn about because She is the daughter of Radagon and Marika who is the same person, so we would learn that Markia had a brother that we never knew about.

Glad to see the Giant Indei-Rats getting featured a bit. Also thanks for referencing you music on the video.

@@Nazylexx oh I love it, I’m still not on the final boss. Cleaning up all the optional stuff now. Getting all the talismans and whatnot. Just saying I feel like none of the fromsoft dlc’s really have that “replayability” factor that base game do. Sure the DLC’s are top notch cinema that should be experienced, just kind of a more one and done thing imo. Like I’ve never gone back to the Ringed City or to Artorias even if they’re amazing. Just no need, I already have the items. I already beat the bosses

[@clerical88]

bro that intro went so hard 🔥

[@jesterdk]

Fun vid as always! Hope you had a good time! It's wild seeing other peoples' experiences with the DLC so far. I did the whole thing in the dark, in offline mode, but my build is Greatshields and Clayman Harpoon, so I had the ability to hold up against like... everything. The knight in the first Gaol took me two tries, the final boss and Messmer both took me four tries, the Divine Beast took me two, and every other boss I beat on the first go. I feel like my fights were probably a bit slower, but way way safer, and I came out of the DLC feeling like it was easier on me than the main game was somehow... ...then I saw the internet, and there's all these SUPER intense fights like yours out there with people like... actually dodging, and if they take a hit they EAT it. Feels like a separate DLC from mine, for sure. Hahaha Good work though! You did it, Elden Ring conquered!

[@MetroidvaniaGuru]

Man. You're literally the only KZbinr whose content I anticipate, and you go and do Shadow of the Erdtree before I've even touched it. Now I gotta wait to watch this. I'll just play it in another tab with the sound off. Gotta work that algorithm for ya.

[@gameraz1990]

30:07 Boss's HP only gets scaled for summons made OUTSIDE their room, so spirit ash, by design, cannot affect the boss's HP pool. As you may guess, NPC summons made inside the room also don't affect the HP. Look at Radahn, you can summon like half of the game's NPC in that fight, but it's all inside the room, so non of them affect his HP.
