RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep. 52: The Loathsome Dung Eater

[@alloys6332]

The loathsome dung eater? Didn’t know your mum was in this episode

[@lexxington8773]

😂

[@jomega_gaming]

Fuck beat me to it. 😂😂😂

[@CrazeeAdam]

Lol Dan actually used that in the 1st episode xD because he knew it was coming

[@riverjordan90ify]

I'm super impressed with Gav's recollection of little details about the game.

[@Paroex]

To be fair, I was also impressed with Rory remembering that the headdress they picked up was a dupe.

[@puupipo]

@@Paroex Same! He even remembered that little detail in the item description.

[@rocksun1933]

From "he summons crab?" to the Deathblight crab kills the Dung Eater is just comedy gold LMAO..... That's so perfect and totally by accident. Dung Eater just standing there using weapon art and covered by crab gas

[@FrankYooToob]

Dune?

[@MrFredd38]

@@FrankYooToob yeah the dune eaters. You know, those giant sand worms

[@rocksun1933]

ROFL. Sorry not an English native speaker.

[@sirus5172]

"He wants to give us a hug."

[@chipm0nkey]

Amazing episode. The roundtable reveal, dung eater and boggart, boggart “coming back as a crab”. 😂 Fucking loved it. Well done lads.

[@dylanhamilton7190]

“Oh, Let’s spend our souls! Let’s do that now.” Almost cried a tear of joy 🥲

[@osric190]

@53:55 Daniel looking at the camera breaking the 4th wall is very 'The Office' or similar situational comedy and I love it. "We've not been down here at all, no". Incredible. Been waiting for this reveal!

[@jomo999]

The Dung Eater parole hearing banter had me in tears 😂

[@jcace13]

The Dung-Eater's parole hearing bit had me in stitches.

[@scottynorton99]

We needed a Daniel looking at camera counter this episode 😂

[@DcLoki12]

1:35:42 that's the most fitting end to that story I've ever seen 😂 absolutely dying

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

"It's because you ate your own shit, Coco" had me howling. Just picturing her little sad face like "father what has become of me" 😂

[@FreakingJagger-]

I have a wedding this afternoon, starting off the day right with these slugs!

[@DCALLUS23]

I was out and about the other day at work and bumped into gav walking coco. He stopped and had a chat. What a great fella. Nice to meet you gav. All the best mate 👍🏻

[@lilypad585]

Thematically appropriate that Dung Eater sounds like he just got off the 87 bus from Birmingham to Dudley. Reminds me of home 💀

[@Sonictherokkit]

As someone that lives in Dudley, this is insanely accurate 😂

[@lilypad585]

@@Sonictherokkit Got to love west midlands life!! I think you could find like 10 Dung Eaters outside New Street on a Saturday

[@Sonictherokkit]

⁠@@lilypad585I’m fairly certain after some nights out I have been one of those dung eaters outside new street 😂

[@3enCooper]

He reminds me of the creatures I'd find at the back of the 50 on my commute from the city center to King's Heath.

[@3enCooper]

@@lilypad585 The 50 is the great egalitarian leveler of Birmingham. Forcing the champagne socialists of Moseley to smell those of the heaths Balsall and Druids.

[@juliancoville228]

Absolutely love when Krupa does a cheeky look to camera when Gav or Rory foreshadow

[@colin5298]

1:20:08 nothing beats the sheer joy and shock Gav and Rory get when they realize sm cool or find a sick weapon

[@mkeezy53]

Omg the slow burn of the Roundtable Hold revelation! Also, lovely little bit of serendipity for Daniel to be able to say he's got a little deja vu from the Minority Report convo

[@3enCooper]

I am so impressed with how well Gav is learning this game.

[@3enCooper]

And that's no slight towards Rory. Rory has his hands full but Gav's memory for the plot, enemies, and lore is really good.

[@Handles_are_garbage]

He's such a bloody swat.

[@mrtetristime]

I think a big part of it is because Gav spends so much time editing the show each week, he's likely committing more to memory than he might otherwise

[@3enCooper]

@@mrtetristime That's a fair point but I think he's also just actively engaging in it. "There's lots of Welsh people" might have helped hook him early days but he seems to care about unraveling the mysteries of the game.

[@abluecardigan]

It's been 52 episodes but that intro is the coolest thing you guys have done surrounding production of a series, I think. I was really impressed when you got the narrator for DS2 to do some lines but man, that intro is on another level. Sooner or later you're gonna have Michael Zaki himself sitting at the table slagging off Krupa's mom

[@hayden5903]

Surprisingly the Dung Eater has really beautiful handwriting. He’s a master of cursive.

[@HowlGough]

I'm currently in a weird country, in a weird hotel - but sinking into the warm comforting bath that is RKG

[@IIxSam]

I love the thought that miyazaki knows about dudley/birmingham and that it would translate well into a character called dung eater

[@jorgearcienega9203]

Dude we have now our own lore with the Crab situation

[@B_Clemethy]

12:40 Oh, keep those things alive, but nothing but disdain for Bok? How dare you, Rory. 😂

[@DcLoki12]

It seems crazy to me their weapons are so under levelled I think I had everything near top end in the capital. Level 4 is crazy 😂

[@HighWolnir]

I have 800+ hours in this game never knew the dress healed others around. Learn something new everyday thanks guys!

[@Pliskin1244]

So glad that Rory had been leveling faith before finding the lightsaber, I’m pretty sure the higher your faith the brighter it is

[@vLarsn]

The Dung Eater is truly the most vile and depraved character in a FromSoft game! It's rare that a video game character makes me uneasy, but this guy is just pure evil.

[@Trollkiller]

Now the actions the dung eater takes are definitely voilent and seem purely evil without the full picture but remember the golden order and Marika are originally at fault for cursing the omen to begin with. I suggest the vaati vid on the blessing of despair for a fuller lore pic on dungeater. Still definitely one of the more "bad" endings though.

[@noahneault6987]

Man ya'll really hated Bock. I always just felt a little bad for him, so I told him he was beautiful

[@jomega_gaming]

Finally, the long awaited mum episode we've been waiting for.

[@Kosho969]

4:07 I am Daniel when Rory said he doesn't know the turtles

[@Stephano217]

I'm so excited for next episode. That law of regression is so cool

[@WSchmidt09]

Boggart's revenge was incredible - the writers are really outdoing themselves.

[@AwesomeWookiee]

Crab > Dung Eater > Blaggard is my new Rock, Paper, Scissors

[@visgraatje859]

I love this series so much. Elden Ring has become my favorite game ever and this is always the highlight of the week for me. Can't wait for the next one!!

[@Macapta]

Judge- "Would the defendant like to make a closing statement at this time, perhaps in gratitude to the humble jury for declaring your innocence?" The defendant- "31:30"

[@GoldnDusty]

"I know where you shit, your honour" is an all-timer from Powers. Had me rolling.

[@ArtoriasJax]

What happens in the Dung Eater fight, is the most Powers thing ever, bloody brilliant 😂

[@spooky_shran]

they always get me, but I really enjoyed daniel's pointed looks to camera in this one 👀 👁️👁️

[@frankcasamento74]

there is a way to save the shrimp man. you have to do the dung eater quest all the way through to the point he attacks you at the lake and you beat him without ever talking to the shrimp man. then when thats done you can talk to him as normal and he'll move to the lake and be fine for the rest of the game

[@EddieDean1]

His name is literally bog-art masterpiece

[@didrik2623]

Started a new playthrough to tag you guys along, just yesterday that same thing happened to me with the Crab killing Dungeater. Never happened in any of my previous runs.

[@theodoresasopoulos3823]

My favourite time of the week 🤘🏼

[@Chefkess]

The Dung counter. Gavin likes this too much

[@TheCamster4545]

Absolutely shook that Gav’s worst nightmare didn’t involve a two seater park bench, but I guess a burning welsh flag would be equally as traumatic for him

[@Cody45686]

That balcony comment 8:10 couldn’t have come at a worse time

[@oranjekenny]

Let's go boys! Weekly appreciation for the intro!

[@danielmcdonald5282]

The crab slapping the dung eater, was one of the most retry things ever..

[@inequis6063]

Already loving Auntie Finchy's chinin' mitts. "Ma brother in law showed me 'ow to use these!"

[@HemphillAnimation]

Every time Krupa looks at the camera I smile.

[@partialprops]

Now that the boys have found the Sword of Milos, is it finally time for them to try power-stancing with the Blasphemous Blade? The two synergise really, really well

[@OBZeta]

I hope they eventually see Dung Eater as the righteous character he is. He knows he is despised, accepts that fate and defiles and curses for what is essentially one of the more noble causes in the game. To spread the seedbed curse indiscriminately, to shatter the higher order and bring them down to the gutter with the omen and reviled. He dresses like an omen to symbolise the people he stands for. That’s how I take him anyway. Horrible means to justify a reckoning end to equalise the lots of everyone

[@MisterFuzzyGuy]

If Altus Plateau is Merthyr, assuming Leyndell is Cardiff, what are the sewers? Ponty?

[@hawlkman]

saying this at 17:09 If he loses the souls I am gonna laugh and cry, that's a lot but he chose to gamble (which was great for us the viewers). I am stupidly careful to keep my souls, I have lost under 10k souls in 330 hours not counting the ones the npc stole in storm castle (beat the base game 3 times and dlc once, working on a second for the dlc. I always make sure to pick up every sacrifice twig I find.) I think the level of careful and worry I get when my runes drop is quite the negative for gameplay experience, when they are on the group getting them back feels like its a life goal.

[@ashishgohil_]

I wonder when rory is going to realize that the sword he's using when he does the special it heal him even if he doesn't kill the enemy.

[@malcolmsharrock1308]

I always thought that Miyazaki invented the concept of the Dung Eater just for our three lads!

[@shauns5278]

Wish they would have saved Seluvis' potion to give to the Dung Eater, death is too good for the bastard.

[@B_Clemethy]

53:10 Oh no, you get some great armor from that execution, too 😔

[@Lady_Vengeance]

Opened with a jump scare this week 😆

[@terminatortom1380]

I never realised the back of the silver tear mask moved until this episode

[@dbeatking8370]

Would love to see Rory upgrade the blasphemous blade more since its become a staple.

[@tomaspeixinho4447]

8 minutes in and I'm already shouting at the screen for them to use the souls? Why do they never level up??? I'm gonna die of a stroke before the end of this series

[@hewhoshallnotbenamed5168]

The Dung Eater kills Boggart and the big crab deathblights the Dung Eater. Now THAT is karma at work!

[@kungfustuey1]

1:18:02 I've been watching you guys for far too long... I just knew Rory was gonna drop down again 😂

[@mikeyhavik815]

Today’s my bday and the dung eater episode drops? Am I in the Truman show, because this timing is just too perfect

[@Stoobsy1]

Giant crab somehow one shots the dung eater: G - Was that supposed to happen? K - .... No

[@RoyaltonDrummer922]

Y’all are being WAY too conservative about upgrading weapons. No way should you be using only a +3/+4 weapon at this point

[@JupiterRhys]

PLEASE TEACH RORY THE GUARD COUNTER HAHAHAHAHAHAH. Love you guys. x

[@theroguerider]

Their hatred for Bock is next level. So funny.

[@daedaluschimp4674]

FESTIVAL ROCKS

[@jphenry3404]

Another great episode lads, top quality banter! One question for Rory though: where did you get that Nike jacket? I've seen it in several episodes and I can't for the life of me track it down. Help a slug out!

[@lloydholland8928]

Rory's complete lack of his rune management is really grating on me now. Just spend the runes!

[@Trollkiller]

Oh about dogs eating poo it's normally under 2 occasions. One thier own diet included something bad and by eating the poop there stomachs chemicals will tell them exactly which food it was, 2 when they eat something elses poop its in order to understand what's edible in the area. I've had dogs and cats my entire life so eventually I just had to look it up lol.

[@mkeezy53]

Hi there, yes, I'll have the fecal platter

[@wormskull2454]

@57:22 was that Powers first successful tactics this series?

[@stefanhenrico]

They call me the Loathsome Dung Eater in these streets.

[@brandonkelly9271]

Are you guys gonna do Silent Hill 2 resident evil 4

[@TrulyLoathsome]

Haha. That Dung Eater. What a rascal! The fact he's not known as Corpse Defiler or Curser must be testament to just how much poop he slurps.

[@lexxington8773]

Alloys6332 has the best comment we all may as well not bother now. Happy Saturday!!

[@runescapeowns8734]

That balcony comment aged like milk

[@emptee182]

Please let Rory max upgrade at least one weapon, he has a crapton of stones!

[@MetalGearSquallFF]

My favourite ninja turtles are Raphael and Michaelangelo 🐢🐢

[@Cr0wsMurd3r]

Shunning Grounds is not a much later area than Leyndell, its basically on the level of being right after Leyndell... just like Deeproot Depths. But it is the time in the game where you start needing to stop screwing about and have a think about builds and proper upgraded weapons... unless yer actually pretty good at the game and dont really need a build, still probably gonna need good weapons though. Vig 40ish Mind 18-25 End 20-22 Str 17 and rest into Faith And keep Radagons Soreseal on for now... and upgrade Blasphemous Blade to the highest ye can. And you'll have a pretty solid foundation for the rest of the game.

[@portrannavi]

Poor boc, he just wanted to be human but got monkey pawed

[@urmintrude]

He summons crabs!?

[@garynoble1590]

Looking forward to the Stag Party lads, but who invited Rykard and Dung eater? All they talk about is Blasphemy, Defiling, and devouring gods and dung.

[@LukeMiloDesign]

How do you not up your strength so you don’t have to utilize the Redahn talisman all the time?! Endurance and mind??? Come on man!

[@lilypad585]

Happy Saturday slugs 🐛💓

[@elias.t]

35:48 Hanged! He wasn't hung, he was hanged! Please, Gavin, I don't want to think about the Dung Eater's defiling rod.

[@bradedwards5956]

WARNING: Do not watch this while eating your breakfast. Thanks lads 😂

[@Trollkiller]

To powers point about Omen being anti outer god imma try and explain without spoiling anything. Omen aren't specifically anti greater order or outer gods they are simply people who are born displaying aspects of the primordial crucible example their horns. For some reason that may or may not be explained later Marika's golden order chose to villify them because of that closeness to the primordial crucible. As to your point about the ancestor tribe near nokron the lore just says they are a race thats existed a long time worshiping the lands natural death and rebirth more than the golden order which imposed its own rules.

[@alexanderchalk6197]

Didn't know the ninja turtle!? Didn't know dbz characters!? 😅

[@skepsis1067]

I don't think we've actually seen the level screen for a while, and I about fell out my chair when I saw that Powers is Level 97. That's massively over levelled for this area, AND he's using arguably the best weapon in the game... But the smorgasbuild is so ineffective that he's no stronger than what a Level 50-60 character normally would be. Powers once again proving that he is physically incapable of being OP. 😂

[@HF-vw4yj]

97 is not overlevelled, but your right that the stat allocation is completely random. And their weapon is only level 4

[@RHKO]

Balcony comment is timed badly 😅
