RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep.9: Finishing Stormveil & Facing Godrick the Grafted

[@Porshapwr]

I always love Krupas little quick-witted quips that largely go unnoticed. Rory: “Nobody expects……the shield!” Krupa: “Definitely not on this show”. 😂😂😂

I hadnt thought much about it except the no armor (which i cant understand?) but the way you just summed it all up has me dying laughing. I was thinking about copying his build and replaying but he doesn't make it appealing does he?😅

[@jcace13]

Rory has never had an optimised build, he gets through these games out of sheer stubbornness.

[@JDexia]

I've never played these kinds of games, but I can imagine that this build isn't optimal...

[@Paroex]

One of the low-key funniest moments for me in this entire series so far, is when at 47:30 Gav shushes Rory and tells him to "just be normal". Yep, just act like a normal moving armor on a stick, gliding across the ground. Don't make them think you're suspicious!

[@StefanoRobbo]

36:30 Safe to say that strat still works as I tried it today before beating Godrick on my first try. Thanks lads for giving me the confidence to attempt my first Fromsoft game, I’m really enjoying it so far.

[@CiaranCorrigan86]

Loving Rory’s moment of introspection at 1:36:55. “Why did I run in? What was I thinking?”

[@Iversen83]

After years of watching Rory play games I reckon the main reason he couldn't spent forever with his arm in the air is that he'd forget he was doing it every 10 minutes.

[@Cobweb404]

The different clips in the intro of every episode blows my mind every time! There is 0 need but it is unbelievable

[@zakkywacky7911]

I am 100% convinced that Rory is now going to keep the torch equipped constantly and wonder why enemies aggro from so far away.

[@MrBaye]

"The urge to use magic is overwhelming!" "That's what Paul used to say to Debbie every night." Sinfully under appreciated banter!

[@JackSage]

One of the best episodes so far! Really loved this one, however I do miss the days when it was a true 1v1 on the bosses (I really enjoyed seeing Rory learn and always pull through in the end 💪) specially in this game where iirc you don't need to summon any NPCs to advance their quest like in DS2. I will obviously love every episode however you do it but I think a 0 summon 0 spirit policy for bosses would make the bosses more memorable for you guys and everyone watching :) Thanks for another great episode and keep up the great work

[@puupipo]

0 summon 0 spirit policy for certain late game bosses (especially Malenia and the Godskin duo) would be harsh and, in my opinion, kind of antitethical to the playstyle that those bosses were designed for, and there's also Radahn which is so much more of a spectacle with summons that it's totally worth doing (again, just my opinion). But yeah in general I would like to see more of Rory fighting big story bosses, and often with weaker bosses summoning trivializes the fight so that it's over in a couple of tries at most. Luckily this is a huge game and there's plenty of time for those more drawn out boss fights to occur.

[@puupipo]

@gremvy9854 I've played all Soulsborne games and Sekiro and Malenia is the only boss I haven't soloed (at least not yet). I gave it an honest try but pretty quickly came to the conclusion that I don't have it in me to go through the painful process to learn how to dodge and counter her moves, mainly the Waterfowl Dance of course. The time that it would've taken just didn't feel worth it to me. You could absolutely be right that Malenia feels great to solo, but it's the journey to get to that point that's the problem. Maybe I'll have time for it someday, but I doubt RKG have with their filming schedule.

[@JackSage]

@@puupipo I do agree that they should summon for Radahn, but Malenia is truly such a great fight if you master her Solo. I mean personally I'm fine with a "Malenia (Part 3)" episode 🤣. For me, episodes like Laurance, Nameless King, Prince Lothric, etc... where the best. I do know that it's my personal opinion and I'm a bit on the extreme side here and most people are 99% here for these 3 great guys. I found them just after they uploaded the 2nd ever episode of the orginal PTT and have watched EVERYTHING (even stuff like SOTC and RE). I'm just a bit of a Hardcore Soulsborne fan and combining the joy of watching someone learn and overcome the bosses solo + my favourite youtubers is the best possible thing I could ask to watch :)

[@vangoghsseveredear]

Yeah it definitely removed how special Godrick was I think. The boys didn't seem nearly as invested either. I know saying stuff like this is cringe, so I hate to agree, but it is true. Godrick is one of the coolest bosses in this game and he just got steamrolled

[@Someguy-uh4lv]

I've got like 800 hours in this game and I didn't know that Crucible knight was there in stormveil

[@FaLEDirefulGnome]

The edit at 1:43:54 is genuinely brilliant! I can't stop laughing at it. The timing, the punch in, Krupa looking at Rory's finger when it enters the shot, it's all perfect! This series is already a favourite of mine. The amount of effort and care you all put into it shines through. Thank you for the amazing work!

[@bryanbruhn4608]

I should've been keeping track of how many times Krupa says how many runes Rory has when he dies, and no one notices its a different amount. And the face he makes at 21:16 is all of us wondering how long it will take to notice.

[@trentinator17]

Hey guys, loving the series so far. Not trying to be negative, and I have no idea how far in advance you guys are filming but meh, I'm personally hoping the whole game isn't going to be a 3v1 tho. Obviously not looking for another Lawrence or anything like that, but trouncing every boss in a few tries/10mins after spending 3 hours in the Legacy dungeon isn't as PTT or Retry-y as you guys normally do it. Kind of supremely anti climatic. Just imagining using mimic later on as well. And tbh it's not even like the DS2 character quests where they need to be summoned to initiate the next quest portion, or Seigward's integral entrance cutscene. The leveling up isn't why he's going to become "OP", it's the bosses being distracted by the 2 other allies in the room. Rather see the whole kitchen sink thrown at a boss with every build style in one (dragon breath, jump tactics with a collosal sword, and finish a boss off with a spinning Darth Maul) than watch Nephelli draw agro on cool attacks. Anyway, keep it up. Not trying to be rude or a backseater. Just my worthless 2 cents. Hope you're enjoying.

[@dantedoesstuff2489]

I completely agree

[@DroneCorpse]

💯

[@sketchyh5833]

Krupa needs to sneak back in after they've finished recording and discard that damn torch. At this rate it will be responsible for more deaths than any boss.

[@therealcozyboy13]

All the guys have always been absolutely top notch with the gameplay and banter, but one of the things that’s really drawn me to RKG has always been the respect they show for the games they play, and the commitment to doing a game justice if they’re going to play it. Front and center in that pursuit is Krupa, and his lore knowledge and understanding of the branching paths these games will take them on depending on what they do shows how much research he’s put into these episodes, as well as how much he’s played and enjoyed the games firsthand. I feel like we’re really watching him absolutely master the format with Elden Ring, and it’s resulting in some of the best content these guys have ever made. There’s always a sense of trajectory and storytelling, but never a sense that Rory is being guided on a path, and it just makes the episodes both epic in their storytelling, as well as hilarious and off the cuff, as a group of friends playing a video game should be. Super well done to the whole squad for being amazing at what y’all do, and I guess just a little extra shoutout to Dan for his hard work, ingenuity, and sense of drama (oh, and also for being no less hilarious for all that!). Here’s to the Loremaster, and to the fools!

[@puupipo]

Good comment! I've noticed it too, the Loremaster has been so on point in this series that it stands out to someone who has watched all of PTT and Retry to date. Pointing out little easy-to-miss details like Rogier's bloodstain, explaining bits of lore that are relevant to an area without giving too much away, making sure Rory doesn't miss important areas or items without directing him too much, hinting at hidden game mechanics like Gostock's rune stealing... I'm sure it takes a lot of work and thinking and planning behind the scenes, and I just want to say that I see it and appreciate it!

Loving the series and already commented loving the episode but I think summoning and NPC first attempt is taking something from the finale. There was no learning the patterns of Godrick. Letting summon and Jelly take all the heat seems against the theme. You're purposefully saying not to level up and the challenge against crucible was great but the final fight just felt a bit flat due to double summons. Still bants and I know they're already recorded but just my opinion

[@ryanrobby2]

Slugs, I'm loving it so far, but maybe give Rory a couple of tries on the boss by himself before using NPC summons? The story summons are really cool and I'm not against you using them, but at the same time it's kind of sad to see important story bosses like Margit and Godrick go down this quickly. I don't mean to tell you how you should or shouldn't play, and I'll enjoy the episodes either way, but I'd love to see a bit more of the boss fights personally.

[@jazmaninc9588]

Absolutely agree with this, was looking forward to the Godrick fight so much and was so disappointed to see him get cheesed with jellyfish and nepheli summon. Like, it can't can't satisfying to just run through main bosses like that right?!

Especially when the spirit ashes and NPC summons are doing most of the work on main bosses. Leveling would help get through the legacy dungeons a little better.

It's so cool to see, really speaks to how much there is to see and do in this game.

[@RRF]

02:21 The spiral staircase thing is a popular myth, lots of castles have both clockwise and anticlockwise staircases! Plus sieges were far more likely to end via surrender rather than assault, and if fighting is taking place on staircases within the castle walls then the defender has pretty much already lost.

I like how Rory runs into one of the most challenging, annoying, and difficult enemies… and Dan doesn’t warn him or tell him anything at all. Seriously, every single encounter with one of those knights is one of the hardest fights throughout the entire game.

Guys, please let Rory level.

[@crosislaurekal4551]

Also after a second watch, I do hope we can put a halt on summoning in general, both NPCs and the spirit summons unless they're really needed (maybe a certain amount of attempts, 3-5 or so of solo tries before Powers can summon) because they really do take away the novelty of facing a new boss for the first time and learning their attacks and patterns under fire. Godrick, Leonine Misbegotten and even Margit could've made for more challenging fights without the summons pulling aggro.

Maybe stick with just the spirit ashes. If you don't level them up a ton, they're not super OP like the summons.

An amazing episode, but I wonder what happened to the guys' plan to stop using spirit summons in boss fights, which they discussed in the last Rountable Hold video. Did Rory just forget in the Godrick fight?

[@hikerchris7164]

Yeah he probably forgot. Imo the real thing taking stakes away is the NPC summons. Nepheli Loux took so much of the aggro and did so much damage that Powers didn't really need to learn how to fight Godrick

[@al29902]

I definitely agree that the series will be much better if they quit summoning, spirit summons basically ruined the endgame for me my first time through. I'm assuming, though, that they'd filmed this before that episode of Roundtable Hold, with all the editing work they put in I'm sure that they're filming this stuff well before it's released.

[@dankilrea]

I was thinking the same thing. Round table they say no summons for big bosses. And right away npc and jellyfish 😂. Did kinda trivialize Godrick. I would love to see how different the fight would’ve been alone. His twinblade did very little damage lol

[@haydeng3541]

I wonder if that episode of roundtable hold might have been filmed after? It could be that they got a bit ahead in the game and recorded round table hold a bit later. If nothing else, the Godrick fight going the same way Margit went will probably be what convinces them. Gav definitely seemed a bit disappointed they rinsed yet another boss instantly

[@Tubulin_]

Like @haydeng3541 said, I think that RTH was filmed sometime after this episode. Been doing some "detective work" looking at the boys clothing for the last few episodes which dont match with what we see in the last few episodes. That said, I do not mind the summons, although what I do miss from the boss fights is seeing Rory learn movesets and how the boss actually works. Elden Ring got some amazing bosses and I hope we get to see Rory tackle some more of them on his own, at least the main story bosses. For the repeat bosses in optional dungeons I feel he should summon as much as he want. Regardless, I've been loving the series and that crucible knight moment was some of the loudest I've laughed ❤
