Made My Girlfriend REPLAY Dark Souls

[@masyali1]

The Rules of Nature playing while she was fighting Smough is perfect

[@p3anut841]

I was about to comment the same thank you friend.

[@KillerPassifist]

And it was made all the better by the fact that she was fighting like a pro AND both she and the boss were wielding big, badass hammers

[@LautiAcuna115]

When I saw that zweihander imbued with lightning I thought "oh... So it IS personal with this one" she really had a score to settle with this game, you should be really proud of her, this must've felt like finding the bully from highschool and tearing his arms out

[@Sdogofdoom]

I was praying that she would end up as a giantdad, it would have been hilarious.

[@arcanegaming3199]

I can see Ornstein just sitting drinking his morning coffee. Then Smough just runs in panting. Smough: “HELP SHE’S HERE, SHE WANTS HER HAMMER!” Ornstein: “……..I don’t get paid enough for this sh*t”

[@not_toaster2]

Thy was a canon event, as Thou all died to her wrath of thy's hammer.

[@yoshihasascended]

orstein be the type of dude to act like he dont care about the homie when he actually cares the most about him

I love this

[@itdogodownbruh6094]

from "forcing my girlfriend to play darksouls" to "forcing my girlfriend to race against me in darksouls"

[@Bradinator]

I think you guys should make a second channel with raw footage of you playing, that would be entertainment for hours!

[@zonk834]

I would love to watch the Outer Wilds play through so much. Even if it were 30 parts an hour long each I’d watch it all

[@zygfrydvolt1281]

Finally someone said it.

[@exemplar7205]

"i just got killed by an elevator!" was said with such innocence lol

[@rossloughran6213]

It's always the 'woooo' for me. So genuine and wholesome

[@FJGfox]

It’s always interesting to go back to your first souls game after playing the others and see how much you improved, amazing video as always my friends, Cheers! 🍻

[@gengarisnotinsmash...]

Agreed. My first playthrough of Bloodborne stalled out at rom. Shadows of Yharnam took a very long time for me to beat (especially with that horrible runback) and dealing with that potato spider afterwards tested my patience just a bit too much. A few months later I start a new playthrough, armed with experience and the cum chalice, and I proceeded to blow through the game.

[@junpeixix]

I really, _really_ enjoyed the "original" video (it's how I found this channel, actually), so this was a pleasant (and welcome) surprise. Perfect video to end the weekend, as well!

[@imthekidthatatetheapple6885]

That’s awesome(awesome is another word for congratulations)

[@petey33x]

I’m loving the vibe (the positivity and compliments) coming from these comments. I wish more (youtube) comments were like these (positive and uplifting to each other). That being said (or typed really) there is nothing wrong with criticism (the positive kind).

[@stollkoloss2689]

So excited to See Taryn tackle the DLC!!

[@SystemBD]

Facing Artorias after hearing so much about him (in this game and DS3) is like meeting a celebrity. In my case, I was both ecstatic to finally find him and sad that we could not get to talk with him. At least, we got to communicate with our swords (specifically his, through my body).

[@THExRISER]

@@SystemBD He does have unused voice lines, I think they're on Vaati's channel.

[@AstonCulf]

Artorias is sure gonna be interesting with that hammer

[@kisukoev]

11:16 "working as intended" now THAT is a souls veteran reference

[@treymtz]

"Stomach the poison of failure" I cannot stress enough, how scared some people are of failure irl and how i've seen video games change that for them. It didn't really magically make them better people, just gave them a safe space to explore what was already in them.

[@tbotalpha8133]

Forcing myself to play XCOM: Enemy Unknown on Ironman Mode for my first campaign did wonders for my anxiety. That first playthrough was so formative for me that I literally can't play the game ever again. Nothing will ever re-capture that first time.

[@vonpotatostein]

Super proud of her!!!! It is super cute that you both support each other in such a great way!!! It is really refreshing!

[@m.ubaidaadam]

amazing video! it was an absolute pleasure to see the swagger and confidence she brought now she's got the experience

[@rosie1260]

THIS IS SOOO GOOD you guys brighten up my days whenever the video is uploaded!!

[@scorpiowarrior7841]

I love how by the end her hp bar and stam bar were the same length. Beautiful

[@Andykin47]

Dark souls 1 in particular makes you memorize every inch of it, the second play through feels so much different

[@starwarsbinks6339]

Man the metal gear rising rules of nature was just ... *Chef's kiss*

[@justsomejojo]

That first replay of Dark Souls is exhilarating, doubly so if you really struggled on your first go-around. I remember my second playthrough well - it was a dagger only playthrough. Why? Because I had to learn to parry last minute for Gwyn on my first run and this was basically getting revenge, as I did NOT appreciate having to change up my playstyle completely with Gwyn. I was determined to put that new parry skill to good use and parried every enemy (that can be parried) to make a point. And did so in a fraction of the time of my first playthrough. It felt incredible. People always say the first playthrough is the best one for these games but honestly? The victory lap of a second playthrough, when you know the areas and have the right mindset, that was something truly special for me. As an aside, that parry playthrough made me really appreciate parrying. Probably why I liked Bloodborne so much too.

[@DarkCT]

that seemed like such a great time, especially the fact you two duo'd the game in that way. bonus to the hammer on hammer rules of nature.

[@nugget-zf5by]

Best 100 video anniversary ever Also you dropped this kings👑

[@Lickicker]

i can assure you with the first dark souls there is exactly 2 wrong ways you can go before you get the lordvessel, no one wants to climb the great hollow or find their way out of tomb of the giants

[@ksw8514]

12:22 In my first playthrough I somehow ended up in the Tomb of Giants rather early without any light source or the ability to warp. I think I even did that before Sen's Fortress. Finding my way back to Firelink Shrine was one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had in a game. After that everything else the game threw at me felt easy.

[@UltimateSpinDash]

Would still love to see you play through Daughters of Ash. It does hide a lot of it's best content, but it also masterfully toys with your feelings.

[@roronoazoro8322]

Now what you need to do is get your girlfriend to replay all of the soul games

[@tkn0.]

hitless, SL1, using only fists, no dodging, no running, no bonfires/sculptor's idols/sites of grace obviously for the little challenge

[@obenohnebohne]

I appreciate the music in this video. It is different from the beautiful OG music and I love that. (I noticed this during the O&S fight.)

[@Moxypony]

OOOh, I caught his one early!

[@dathannichols3595]

I just found y'all's videos tonight and loving it about to binge watch every from software game you got on this Channel

[@AllisterVinris]

Nice, the progression is real !

[@Plastic_moo]

It's insane that I found you last night watched all your dark souls stuff then found this video. I just watched her get so much better so quickly

[@masyali1]

A perfect video to end the weekend ❤

[@bbittercoffee]

I did not expect that "RULES OF NATURE!" out of nowhere but it was very much appreciated lol (I do wanna know what version that is tho, no way it's just the base game, right?)

[@lolmao500]

Next up (hopefully) : armored core 6 and elden ring massive DLC... or maybe classic RTS? Like Starcraft? Or Warcraft 2/3? Or Command And Conquer/Red Alert? Just ideas. Great channel

[@kevintorres9297]

Been waiting for this lol love this series

[@Echo6929]

About to start my first journey into dark souls 1 after having played dark souls 3 and elden ring, just watching this one already helping me so much . OwO

[@nemtudom5074]

Rules of Nature during the chapel fight is just a perfect metaphor for her progression in the franchise! Much like how Metal Gears were a massive threat in the earlier games, the player just wipes the floor with them in MGRR, a lot like how Tarny's experiences went!

[@Xenmaru00]

The Disgaea music sold it. Totally her theme song there. "You Go Girl!" is perfect.

[@MoonIitStroll]

Yes! DLC! I can't wait :)

[@devinshilightsdale9738]

"chain backstab baby lets gooo" *BONK* Such a classic moment

[@jhean8030]

the experience that got me hooked to dark souls was when i got into the tomb of the gigants as a lvl 23 dry meat.... i didnt know you could light the way with items... and also didnt know where the exit was so i asumed it was at the end... i went through the whole place blind, memorised the location of every single enemy, pit and chasm only to be met by a yellow fogwall at the end... i entered as a lvl 23 child and got out as a lvl 89 man....

[@ComfortsSpecter]

Intense Vibery Great Entertainment Going through These What an Incredible Channel

[@JakeTaaylor]

11:35 Immediately triggered a series of traumatic memories. That damned chocobo race in FFX for the legendary weapon crest. 😵‍💫

[@eregriou]

congratulation on your 100 video 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Domerus]

Great throwback, 10/10!

[@lmGoldyy]

Heres to another 100 amazing videos and more ❤

[@HAHAHAHA.673]

it is I HAHA??. Another AMAZING and entertaining video and kinda nostalgic from the first dark souls video.

[@BoyMetGirl]

Thank you HAHA??!!

[@HAHAHAHA.673]

[@GavinTullier]

The fact that we can do Replays now and them be just as if not better than the first run around is amazing I love this channel

[@marianasenun]

I highly recommend for you to play the games: v rising, torchlight 2 and scrap mechanic

[@AstonCulf]

I was almost as taken aback by hearing Devilman no Uta as I was hearing Factorio soundtrack, high quality music choice in this one

[@LilaKirby]

I enjoy watching these videos as much as the next guy but actually I don’t need anymore Souls game content😅 It’s a good video don’t get me wrong. Looking forward to the next one too

[@-Jake]

*5:07** YO THIS SONG….IT FUKING SLAPS*

[@bobyhappy2992]

Noicky : I will be the Ornstein to her Smough this is the cutest and weirdest thing I've ever heard ! 😍

[@sanfransiscon]

I usually find myself enjoying Souls games more on repeat playthroughs, so this is great to watch XD

[@Salem0666x]

made my girlfriend play dark souls was my first introduction to this channel and series, needless to say taryn never ceases to amaze me!

[@vencam9498]

1:01 From now on, that'll be the sound I'll be imagining whenever someone points down at me in multiplayer. It's stuck in my head now.

[@irrrrational314]

IT IS HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR

[@user-lz5vh9bb5w]

You should have her play The Surge 1 and The Surge 2 (the second one is an improvement in every single way and is legit an amazing souls-like). They're souls-likes but different enough to provide her with some fun new gameplay.

[@OG_Fireflare]

You absolutely LOVE to see it!

[@net_spider]

Back in the day, Younger Bro was so smug that he beat the game before I did because I usually beat games in a shorter time frame than he would. Told him that I was taking my time and finding everything I wanted before facing him (literally did everything, including the DLC, just before him but was doing a little leveling and crafting beforehand). He kept being smug about it and told me to go try at least. I relented after he badgered me for a while. I walked in and two shot him. My brother was pissed, both because I killed Solaire my first playthrough instead of saving him (killed all the bugs and did what I needed otherwise, but the game still infected him... not like I didn't try) and because I beat him so easily. For context, he made a "paladin" build and had Solaire help him, still having to struggle and beat him after a few tries. My build was... unorthodox to say the least. I call it "Tank Mage," but really it was all Big Hat Logan gear maxed out (including the catalysts), Moonlight Greatsword maxed out, Cleansing Greatshield, high Int, high Attune, high Str, and middling everything else. All I did was walk in and cast 2 dark sorceries and he went down.

[@myrkflinn4331]

Love her progression

[@jaderabbit898]

The Return of the King! (Or Queen in this case!)

[@Ezekiel_Kleyer]

The sleeping mask with the firekeeper dress. Memories broken the truth goes unspoken.

[@jpag_grey497]

Time to make her play Elden Ring the Asended Mod: Hell version difficulty :)

[@TheCrownedguy]

this content is so unique keep it up

[@newsheo5822]

Oh please tell me Taryn finished dlc before fighting Sif. I want to see that reaction

[@Digicr0w]

I would love to see you two play valheim. Its viking minecraft with dodge rolls.

[@murdoc155]

What a coincidence, i just finished Dark Souls 1 yesterday.

[@Makri9]

Oh, hell yes. Let's goo.

[@Rulamac]

yay

[@SignatureEnvy]

Elden Ring is my first Fromsoftware game and these videos inspired me to find the biggest hammer that i could. Now im running a Giant Crusher in Elden Ring.

[@f1shn0td3d]

Day 7 of waiting for a Splatoon vid NO WAY!!!! I was not expecting this! (dark souls reboot sequence initiated)

[@matteodidonatantonio]

1:01 bombs over the asylum demon...pointing down at your enemy....yep she learned

[@FerraticaTheBard]

These days, every time I see a double door getting opened with both hands in a video game, I hear "Dark Souls door open!" in my head! ^^

[@Teurger]

About that "too slow for ripost": it just not about speed, actually. It's also about the fact that if you parry, switch to two-hand and press attack, you'll NEVER ripost. You need to walk a bit into an enemy and only THEN ripost will work. And, of course, you are still on timer from the parry. Clunky old mechanic from clunky old game, I guess... Also, it's always fun to see people returning to their first Souls game after they completed a bunch of them. Especially for people like me, with 10k+ hours in DS1 alone))

[@italation3718]

☝️🤓

[@ArmandoDoval]

You don't have to walk, you just have to wait until the left hand weapon's icon becomes fully greyed out on the bottom left of the screen. So she was actually too fast rather than too slow.

[@NoForksGiven]

For anyone struggling to two hand a weapon after parrying, if you do too fast you won't get it. You also won't get it if you do it too slow. There's a sweet spot where you have to wait like half a second while also scooting a bit to the left. It's not as bad as you think though and it's the same timing for every enemy you can parry so you can get plenty of practice on weak hollows to learn the timing, just not the ones with the shields. They aren't aggressive enough

[@tipperdipper1149]

It's pretty funny, you said your GF was too slow to riposte Gwyn but she was actually doing it too fast LOL There's a quirk with Dark Souls that is ingrained into my soul and causes me to sometimes take ripostes slower in newer games too. When you parry one handed then swap to two handed right after, you have to wait a moment. Take a step first, usually is enough time, to basically...clear the animation queue for the riposte to work. She was just swinging too fast! What a fun video, very good!

[@levonny6017]

When i saw her point down to the Assylum Demon i knew this time she owned the game

[@supertoxicgamer]

all of these need to be double the length

[@Vynirian]

Les gooooooooo back to dank souls!

[@BoyMetGirl]

Woohooo!! :)

[@Kipdav]

Smoughs hammer was my favourites weapon in ds1 too! And on my third pt of ds3 i used it too hehe

[@specialnewb9821]

I think the best part of these playthroughs is that Girl plays how she wants and makes it work rather than looking up optimized builds.

[@AutkastKain]

Tarny's experience with Gwyn reminds me of my first time through dark souls. I was so scared of the fight and tried to play it regular. My friend literally told me to get good at parrying to beat it. And so I did. 4 parries in a row with one follow up hit at the end killed him after a few hours of trying without parrying. So just git gud I guess right

[@androski5247]

Not caring about losing souls/bloodechoes/runes is when you know you've made it as a souls player. Once you can just shrug off the mistake and continue on without that extra bit of health or damage those souls would've afforded you, that's when the anxiety of a souls game just dissipates and it's only more enjoyable to play these games.

[@tyler7711]

Also your girlfriend a badass for taking on every souls game idk if i could do that

[@Draugo]

Wait... you can die to Pinwheel?

[@tdarassp]

11:34 certified *Thank you, Dark Souls* moment

[@KronosCuteTiger]

Heres hoping that one day we get to see her tackle a randomizer. Would be interesting to see how her play-style changes when she isent guaranteed 'girls Great hammer of squash'

[@Fr1pes]

the second playthrough has begun. next you make her platinum it pls

[@coraline2770]

Yea going through the darkness with just a skull lantern is amazing

[@olargol2284]

To two hand riposte you have to wait like half a second after two handing to pull it off(once you first parry of course)

[@tyler7711]

And 100 whatever ago i watched evey KZbin video you have and this is the last one because i started watching dark souls 1 😭

[@urlocalbirb]

You two should play one armed cook lol just a thought

[@highlord2841]

You died on Pinwheel LMFAO

[@moriholymasquerade3118]

Her downpointing the first asylum demon is such a power move

[@Jonathon_Hennessey]

My first from software game was Sekiro Shadows Die Twice before I moved on to The Dark Souls trilogy and Elden Ring. The only ones I haven't played yet are Bloodborne and Demon Souls, but I intend to remedy that as soon as I can purchase a PlayStation 5.

[@MagikBased]

The SL1 challenge got brought up in this video and another souls video but I don't know what that is.

[@johnbakhmat]

Wonder how much faster she completed it this time.

[@matthewpopow6647]

Just beat DS 1 for the first time a few days back. I have beaten evey boss (except Gwyn) at least half a dozen times but never actually completed it

[@myrkflinn4331]

I'm stuck at Gwyn, tried to fight him both drunk and sober (with confidence and both doubt) and he rekt me regardless cos sir knows when to stab me as soon as I think I'm safe to have ONE heal behind a pillar.

[@bw-mx1dy]

12:20 Shout out to the Factorio OST playing!
