"Nobody will find me if I just lay down and cover my face. This is kids logic" No, Lost, that's sniper training logic. The face is the single most easily recognizable shape that we can recognize.

Later, Lost climbed a tree, clamped down with his powerful jaws and then the fungus which had taken over his brain sprouted from his corpse and set its spores aloft on the wind.

[@skullofroses630]

The cordyceps cataclysm, he was the catalyst for such destruction, and only needed a couple sacrifices that he took in the vid

XD dude became an ANT!

[@FelinoArdiente]

This is the canonical ending of the mushroom man's lore *Insert Staff Roll sequence here as the spores are guided by the wind to find new hosts*

[@vogunBurgundy]

That first one is a pretty outstanding example of why Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel is one of my favorite invasion spots.

[@Weldedhodag]

i liked to invade in the snow place and the part of the academy with all the boulders rolling down a ramp

[@Bonus_Bananas]

In Dark Souls 3, my favorite way to remain hidden either during invasion or otherwise, was to put a bone wheel on my back, or the door shield, or just a great shield, then use one of the "sit" gestures while facing towards a wall or corner. The right mixture of item and gesture made it look like a shelf or wheel was leaned up against the wall. Sneaky invasion/ assassination invasion has always been my favorite.

[@HeyYouFromThatGame]

That's actually smart lol

[@RaethFennec]

That first invasion was absolutely spectacular. The disguise, the surprise, the standoff, helper guy and then even the host dies!

[@gabhrielleofthegoldenorder8379]

Except he ruined the ambush with the most anti-climactic backstab and proceeded to run to a tight bridge, making the point of the disguise obsolete, all the while scream-laughing like a banshee as if something incredible had happened. Made a whole another Shattering happen to my ear drums.

[@crash-testproductions9341]

And then the mushroom said "it's mushroom time" and started to mush all over the room. Truly the peak of comedy.

[@happyjohn354]

Me, holding a gun to a mushroom: Tell me the name of god, you fungal piece of shit. Mushroom: *Can you feel your heart burning? Can you feel the struggle within? The fear within is beyond anything your soul is able to make. You cannot kill me in a way that matters.* Me, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU

[@raijinoflimgrave8708]

[@Stacy-bella]

[@SubmachineExplorer]

that synchronization at 16:17 !

[@autumnwalock5686]

If you rely on the stealth tactic and stick with the coil shield, I'd call it snake in the brush, or hidden viper, or something along that line. Just using the mushrooms to blend in though regardless of weapon I'd just go with the hide and seek build.

[@RCK-lp1hh]

this guy plays and laughs like an actual goblin its so funny to watch

[@literallyalois2966]

That not only looks super creepy but also cool as hell, wished there was a faction in the game more akin to just, creepy fungi men that isn't necessarily rot, more like a regen-based faction.

[@bandicam144p3]

I just wish there were factions to join in general.

[@SneakybeakyScrub]

i actually dont think the moon spamming lady was overleveled. her fp and health were so low that i wouldnt be suprised if it was just a pure int build to not deal with scaling

That first invasion, the very last thing to happen, he died before finishing that last swing, how incredible

[@Taevarth]

KZbinrs invading: cool and memeorable moments me invading: gets instakilled or ganked by someone playing with 2 phantoms all using bleed builds

[@HighGuy92]

You have to remember that this is hours and hours of recorded footage and we only see 20 minutes of it. I'm willing to bet he encounters more of what you describe than what we are shown

[@Stefanos07520]

I've been enjoying watching invasion videos recently and you're the first video I've seen where you actually put your deaths in the video. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

[@khajiitimanus7432]

To be fair, if no one looks closely, you blend in as a shroom mass. When people are invaded, it's like a prey looking for a predator. They're looking for movement, and then they react accordingly. If you watched the first Tarzan movie - recall the leopard, Sabor, that he fought and killed. Sabor was blending into the jungle, and where Terk and and Tantor hadn't noticed a thing, Tarzan noticed that something was quite right. He had a better attention for detail, which meant that even if he hadn't noticed Sabor, he felt that something was off. Part of his attention span was being a human in a jungle - Tarzan is borderline superhuman. He had to adapt like crazy, and constantly be aware. He doesn't have the same raw strength as adult gorillas. Yeah, he does some damn insane strength training to be able to grow grew up wrestle gorillas for fun, but he's still only a human. Even tapping into beyond the peak of human physique, he can't hold a candle to the other jungle residents with just physical attributes - so he had to get perceptive and alert, too, especially since most dangerous predators are stealth predators. Most hosts and summons are on alert, and may be perceptive. But they also aren't likely to think of looking for an ambush when they generally expect the invader to be glowing a red brighter than Rudolph's nose. This is why stealth invasions work so well, or why stealth hosts can work so well. It takes a bit of a different mindset to be checking for people hiding instead of people attacking.

[@Skittsu]

Could you try a video featuring the pike? It’s a spear that I believe has the longest reach out of the melee weapons, could make for an interesting build

[@todd5purlock497]

15:30 feels like being back in DS3

[@Squeerxblrg]

16:17 Proof that all bleed builds share 1 brain cell

[@cheshirecat742]

I thought he was just some sentient Fungi looking for more food, that took over a host body. Also it was funny watching those people who walked past and had no idea

[@vergil8833]

I hope we get more poision stuff in the DLC. Maybe if they expand upon the snake stuff which is supposedly an ancient religion. Could also give us some options for poision builds that don't require us to use mushroom hats to be meta.

[@neerkum5428]

That first invasion is a masterpiece like start to finish 😭💀

[@hobosorcerer]

I counted 15 shots from the reduvia spam on that later invasion around 16:30 or so. What a meme.

[@UberMegustador]

lol that laugh of yours makes this 1000 times better :)) Like "I am not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me! mwahahahah"
