Shadow of the Erdtree Full Playthrough ⚔️ #14: JORI, ELDER INQUISITOR

[@flintenstein]

Luke: "Be wary of ___, why?" Luke: FAFO Luke: "I should've been wary!"

[@tino9718]

Torrent being too afraid to get summoned in the Abyssal Woods is such an amazing atmospheric trick, I was very impressed. And terryfied, as one should be in this area.

[@MrLutocm]

I nearly jumped out of my seat when torrent suddenly vanished from underneath me

[@vincepiessens]

It’s the only place spirits can actually die

[@puffpuffadder]

"Be wary of rolling..." And thus begins Ray Bearshines annual hibernation

[@silversalamence10]

"Sliding down a ladder like Hot Frosty." is certainly a sentence of all time.

[@rootsandbonesart]

No smithing stones this episode? Amazing. Also the Abyssal Woods are genuinely terrifying and the music is so unsettling.

[@davesonishville]

Every week I forget about these videos and think Monday is just a normal boring day where I am forced to work all day. Then I get the notification and it's a brilliant surprise!

[@colynrobinson212]

How do you forget? If you get notifications you clearly want to see it, so how in 7 days do you totally forget it? You may need to see a doctor for memory loss concerns.

[@grumble]

@@colynrobinson212 you may need to look into minding your own business

[@davesonishville]

@colynrobinson212 some of us lead quite frantic lives so it's quite easy to not keep a weekly KZbin upload at the forefront of the mind. Thanks for your concern though, you energy vampire.

[@matthewiannowlin]

It is always a pleasant bright spot on mondays! Couldn’t agree more

[@ariennetaylor529]

“The glands between.” I laughed WAY too hard at that 😂😂

[@rolandkis1990]

me too 🤣🤣

[@MermaidLovesOctopus]

"I'll just steal their treasure and be on my way." How very British 😂

[@Uggibuggimuggi]

That ladder fight is something out of a Buster Keaton movie 😅

[@danielwilliamswriter]

I've put 200+ hours into Elden Ring and this is the first time I've seen the Village of the Flies. Do I regret not seeing it after this? Absolutely not

[@torgranael]

"You can't do the same attack twice in a row." "Oh my f***!" Less then two minutes in and everything is already going tits up. This one's going to be great.

[@knowlessman]

Are you really following the way of the bear if you don't eat a little too much honey at a friend's house and get your butt stuck in the door on the way out?

[@lukas8670]

That falling off the ladder animation was amazing and I loved it so much.

[@armydude131]

[@RosenXOnline]

I've been both dreading and looking forward to Luke finding the abyssal woods, truly a love/hate kind of place

[@gothmissstress]

If anyone is looking for the "Ladder Fight"™️ timestamp like i did, here: 30:34

[@handyglance4848]

Luke’s reaction when he couldn’t summon Torrent was all of us. I was really looking forward to Luke getting to this area and it didn’t disappoint

[@spooky_shran]

I'm already a patron and yet the weekly patreon plug is such a highlight

[@Skapologist]

6:51 It’s him The Lord of the Flies

[@DreadWulfie]

The wait for next week is so maddening, that I feel like I'm about to be sent into a frenzy. This episode has probably been the funniest one so far. Just the first 11 minutes are pure gold. Honestly can't wait for the next episode. The only thing that left me disappointed, which wasn't your fault, was that the giant cannon imp wasn't on the platform in the Catacombs, because I was really looking forward to seeing that encounter.

[@dee...]

Flytown is basically just Australia in spring and summer. That's what we live with every single day. I've been murdered by flies many, many times.

[@coyoteartist]

That's basically a lot of places.

[@dee...]

@coyoteartist yeah nah, I hear you mate but Australia's flies are heat-seeking missiles living only to locate your airways with alarming efficiency (we invented the ridiculous cork hat for a reason). They want to take you down at any cost. Pretty much like everything else here...

[@SnapGrapplePop]

14:15 for anyone that lost their place in the episode checking out videos of fast lifts

[@clairet-rex]

I liked that they glanced across at Bloodborne and went ‘how about Winter Lantern but EVEN WORSE’

[@insaincaldo]

And just to hammer it in. Winter lantern fly.

[@agwasp]

I just got to that bit of bloodborne in my first play through and I’m losing my mind. In fact I’m getting worked up into a frenzy…

[@agwasp]

Spent the last 24 hours in the library finishing a take home exam for law. Finally come home and crashed so now I can watch this to decompress!

[@MJ-kc8iz]

Big mouth imp has an important message (and anatomy lesson!), but I do hope that the spicy lads of Shadow Keep make some occasional cameos. Those lads knew what's what.

[@nickross1982]

I suspect that next week’s video through the abyss and into [redacted] will be my fave of the series. And MY GOD we haven’t even gotten to Messmer yet! Love this so much.

[@DerpyBerb]

That end was so great.

[@the_scotch]

The Abyssal Woods, and the house that's there, are one of my favourite areas in the dlc, and I also found it completely by accident. Even though those Eye of Sauron bug things absolutely terrified me.

[@DreadWulfie]

Luke, you have no idea how lucky you got. That platform in the Catacombs that lowers down after turning on the lights is supposed to have a giant cannon imp on it, which will start blasting at you the second it sees you. It's really weird that it's not there, so I'm wondering if it bugged out or if they patched it out Edit. I figured out what happened to the Giant Bigmouth Imp that was supposed to be on the platform. It died off screen when Luke approached the elevator to go down to that room; apparently a common thing that can happen.

[@j.dickson]

I hope heKZbin’s a clip. I was genuinely so confused why giant cannon guy wasn’t there

[@beck7607]

Damn, he was lucky. Why couldn't mine have bugged out! I hated that imp soooooo much! 😅

[@SolaScientia]

@@beck7607 I knew it was going to be there, but I still did an immediate turn around and went back to the previous room to calm down when I saw it. I 100% did not fight it fairly, lol. After I lowered the elevator it was on, I realized that I could stand in such a way that the projectiles could not hit me, but I could still snipe it with my bow. That was after I did try to make a legit run to fight it with a sword. It's not worth the effort given what it drops.

[@TheYorkRose]

It died seconds after 32:00

[@Cheffy-B]

I wondered what was happening!!

[@JeffTheOwens]

I felt strangely frantic when Luke was saying there was nothing in the area after literally jumping over the top of the statue that pointed to the catacombs. I thought he was just going to leave without finding them. Glad you did though, Luke! Really enjoying this series!

[@dsmiley53]

I almost threw up in my mouth when you equipped the finger robe

[@SrAmplex]

Did not see the cliffhanger ending coming. I'm loving this series so much

[@katbercar]

Finally...I've been waiting for the Abyssal Woods.

[@rolandkis1990]

Thank you so much for making Mondays feel like Fridays, Luke! 🤩

[@AlvinX13]

the fastest elevator bit was awesome 😂

[@Thepoke869]

Liked for "Glands in between" top tier content!

[@Dollightful]

21:49 Rocket boots in Elden Ring? Somebody give Kippers a call! ...just imagine that big beautiful cat man blasting through the world of Elden Ring 😂

[@quelanathecrow]

only ten minutes in and this episode is already a comedy masterpiece OMG ^.^

[@mattball8622]

First worms, now flies. Never underestimate invertebrates of any kind.

[@joylessgaming]

Devs: Don't let it see you Luke: LET'S FIGHT!

[@GoldenGigginox]

Random tourist attractions/landmarks that Luke has been to may be my favourite (underrated?) bit of this channel 😂

[@Icam_here]

from the madness of the fly village to the madness of the abyssal woods just one maddening time on Elden Ring for Luke

[@grumble]

i was not ready for the flaming goat eyes XD

[@orsolyafekete7485]

I was like, "Oh, hi Satan!"

[@grumble]

@orsolyafekete7485 Fancy meeting you here on a Monday, Satan! Downstairs got too boring, did it

[@ftir1450]

Very suspenseful ending, I like it

[@clairet-rex]

Ngl I’m slightly disappointed we didn’t see Luke’s reaction to absolutely massive canon imp 😆

[@pier-antoinemartin4935]

To escape the home in the mountain you just jump. Luke tried running rolling and crouching before warping out😂 I was screaming at my screen: JUMP LUKE YOU CAN DO IT!!

[@joshuakirkham9593]

Luke in his 'ambassador role', looking down on the Village of Flies. Shame on you Luke! 😂

[@travisspaulding5835]

This is always a bright part of my Monday’s! I always look forward to these videos! 💜

[@PatGunn]

No apostrophe in mondays

[@travisspaulding5835]

@ blame autocorrect lol

[@PatGunn]

@@travisspaulding5835 fair enough

[@cmdrvimes72]

Ah... yes... it is winter.... I guess we could use some lanterns.

[@dee...]

The adult version of seeing your teacher outside of school, is to see your therapist in the supermarket where you wave awkwardly, get anxious about the amount of junk food in your basket, then spend the rest of the time you're supposed to be grocery shopping, trying to avoid bumping into them again because you don't want them to think you're a stalker. Then you avoid that supermarket forevermore and apologise for making it awkward in your next session even though they aren't bothered at all. Y'know, just normal adult things. 👀

[@Ashley80005]

I’m a spicy lass, thank you!😂 Luke, you’re not going to believe this. But, when you made the comment about bumping into your old teacher, something crazy happened to me. I was sitting in a Tim Hortons coffee shop, having my lunch, looked up after you made that comment, and saw my old Highschool math teacher!😮 I despised him, he was the worst! OMG, I am freaked out now!😅 OMG that ladder fight with the catacomb imp was so funny!😂

[@TheYorkRose]

Such a funny coincidence!!

[@gothmissstress]

Thank goodness Luke got your back!

[@FonzietheCapybara]

"Just for one day can we be normal?" -Luke Given you released this on the day you are recording MCC talking about Holiday in Handcuffs, today is not that day!

[@PhobosDynami]

When the Maddning Hand kills Ray at 49:11 I think Luke was also struck by madness.

[@davehumphries7635]

'Spicy Lads of the Shadow Keep' needs to be on a shirt Luke!

[@RelativelySaneStudio]

I, personally, did find the world's quickest lift tangent interesting

[@Pudknuckle]

I had to have my cannonball gland removed when I was eleven

[@jamesmolloy6924]

This is by far my favourite area of a fromsoft game (including the manse). It uses genuinely effective horror, but it also just SO genuinely awsome!

[@Cysubtor_8vb]

At least Luke appreciates the atmospheric horror of the Abyssal Woods. I've seen so many people online complaining about it not having enough stuff in it despite that not being the tone they were going for.

[@nickcennamo-smith1854]

Hang on a second. Isn't that maddening eyeball creature from the the Nightmare Frontier in Bloodborne?!

[@alexv1154]

Winter Lantern? yup, it's a reference, you see him pick up a winter-lantern fly. gods those things are creepy

[@Jraice]

I started this then went downstairs because ADHD. I came back and could hear Lukes Patreon read down the stairs. The confusion i experienced.

[@RoryStarr]

I have been waiting the whole Playthrough for this.

[@abydosianchulac2]

Amazing editing at the end there!

[@warlock257]

"Armour Ahead" that might have been my message 😎😎

I wish I had saved my like for the lift talk.

[@Doncornuto]

These are such a heckin treat :3

[@frodobaggins7710]

Oh man, this area. I'd tried to not use a guide as much as possible for SOTE, but I needed to use one here because I was so unnerved

[@Abbyryan2030]

Im loving elden ring. But I'd love to see you do some horror games after seeing you handle the frenzied forest

[@MisterMidir]

In the room around 35:00 Where is the big ass imp on the platform that you lower down when turning on the lights? I'm sure I remember one being there when I was doing this catacomb.

[@Sayucchin]

My favourite commute content is here!

[@rmbettac]

Very impressive gland.

[@nadriel2]

"You can't do the same attack twice in a row". Technically correct....

[@agwasp]

Madding Hand has an attack that looks very similar to a call beyond from bloodborne which is used by the madman… am I overthinking it being a little nod?

[@MrMBinder]

Gotta love a good lift - 13:41 The fastest elevator I've been on is the one in Yokohama Landmark Tower, back in 2010. Apparently it was the fastest in the world (45.0 km/h (28.0 mph)) until 2004 (according to Wikipedia), but they still had the little plaque with the record on display. It's still the fastest elevator descent, though.

[@leodude1998]

First rule of flytown, you don't leave flytown

[@dustinmillar120]

Ah yes, I remember when bested my teacher with the greatsword of solitude at the supermarket haha

[@AngelBeatYunara]

So what's going on with the mysterious messages after 34 mins is that there's supposed to be a gigantic cannon imp on the platform that's supposed to shoot you, but it never spawned for you.

[@TheYorkRose]

It spawned, it just died offscreen just after 32:00

[@senseweaver01]

Oh good Jori, everyone's favourite boss

[@blazebane9995]

Sniped said with such confidence xD

[@ihcfn]

Can't wait to find out how Luke deals with that thing!

[@Blue5wirl]

I can't believe Luke got to this point in the game without finding the Rocket Boots.

[@TheHopperUK]

Oh my gosh those sheep are so unnerving. And that message! 'Don't let it see you'? Argh

[@SolaScientia]

The only time I've done parrying in this game, lol. I think I killed just 3 of them. I just wanted to get to the area boss, which is my favorite boss fight of the game after Mohg.

[@ethangentry17]

The adyss kind of reminds me o wrydwood with the vibe

[@StretchDude]

That moment when you first get the "The spectral steed is frightened" message is one of the most bonechilling moments in any video game. Also, if the Bigmouth Imps sound that much like Meatwad, which enemies sound like Frylock, Master Shake, and Carl?

[@doubletoked7054]

Best way to be reminded of Monday~!

[@dominicellis86]

And this is why, when someone asked last week, I said AT LEAST 5-6 episodes to the end

[@michaelmeandros551]

It's feeeerkin Monday again!! Woot woot!

[@Dollightful]

Luke, we'd listen to you talk about Elden Ring, about DCOMs, about the world's fastest elevator, about anything really.

[@NemoTheShark]

Luke, may I humbly suggest levelling your Vigor up to around 60 before the end of the DLC? Ray is doing okay right now, but the final boss hits like a boatload of trucks. Just a bit of advice from my end, feel free to ignore. I'll enjoy watching no matter what 😊 That whole beginning bit, all I could think of was Gandalf: "Fly, you fools!" 🪰🤣 Next episode is going to be insane (literally) 😅

[@AmandaBee]

55:13 winter lantern... 2!

[@IvanMyr1]

@41:30 I belive strength scaling soft caps at 55, and caps harder again at 75 or 80, so its definitely worth getting to 55 str at least, before you focus on getting to caps on other stats
