Smash or Pass: Dark Souls Bosses Edition | Show of the Weekend

[@allenwalsh1180]

Ellen: I do prefer to date someone with skin. Me: Here we go with unrealistic body standards again.

[@neolexiousneolexian6079]

I smell a market opportunity for Jane's FriendSkinz product! ...No, seriously, that smell is awful. Something's definitely necrotic...

[@jocosesonata]

It's 2022, I cannot believe people are still so discriminatory against skin, or lack thereof. Skeletons need love, too!

[@MagicalGirlContractor]

This got me good 😭😂

[@drizztdourden666]

How about for those of us with blood running in our veins?we get discriminated too!😤

[@Delvoro]

He wouldn't take the relationship seriously. He has no skin in the game.

[@nocturnalnerd]

Wow, did anyone notice that Luke spent £8 on flowers? He didn’t even mention it. I only caught it because of the random zoom. He’s so committed to the show and he’s so humble about it too.

[@michaelmengarda6984]

He's so modest, isn't he? 😆

[@ravenkikuri706]

Wait... £8? How did you know??

[@Zoso14892]

@@zceepy Aww, does Ellen not deserve flowers too? Platonic flower-giving seems reasonable to me. Anyway didn't that resigned look of "it's better than nothing" tell you just how excited she was to get them 😂

I'm starting to think that Dob's penchant for throwing money around (mostly in a lake) isn't as much roleplaying as it should be...

[@ElMarcoHoJ]

Especially in this economy. What a guy.

[@merepseu]

He could've bought an issue of Pokémon Magazine and at least one Freddo with that kind of money. Luke is a man willing to make sacrifices.

[@catoninetales]

It's a great visual gag but then you also have fresh flowers around the office for a couple of days and that's always nice!

[@Ceece20]

I wonder what the Oxtra expenses report will look like this month: £8 flowers - “I needed it to date Dark Souls bosses” £15 wooden toy sword - “I needed it to avoid dating Dark Souls bosses”

[@GriffinWolf]

Honestly, the team is just glad it's something other than Pokemon magazine.

[@williamjones5334]

I think that might be a prop sword they already had, maybe as Merilwen's?

[@nategarland4413]

Ellen: He'd ruin the floor! Luke: He's done terrible experiments to creatures that he keeps locked away. Ellen: Yeah, that too I guess.

[@terryeinstien3155]

weirdly, the same criticisms can be levelled against Aldia

[@andrastereborn855]

I am so here for Ellen's enemies-to-lovers relationship arc with the Nameless King. I hope it finally has a satisfactory ending next week.

[@gwts1171]

A.... happy ending? :)

[@merepseu]

Their very first instinct was to make reality-shaking war for 7 days, then, after, to make reality shaking love for 7 hours.

[@akmal94ibrahim]

I was surprised since Nameless King killed his own pet. Thought Ellen would be against that.

[@Camazotz-kz9wr]

@@akmal94ibrahim Well at that point, it is severely injured and near death. It's like putting down a dog when they're old and suffering, unable to really enjoy life anymore. You don't want to do it, but it's for the best.

[@BusinessSkrub]

Unending Relief of Load definitely deserved to be in this vid

[@Storyman09]

I mean, they do sound like they have recurring, intensive, long-term medical issues. Not everyone's down to be on that ride, or well-suited to being supportive and helpful for it. Probably better not to get hopes up in that scenario by dating someone you might not be capable of sticking around for.

[@CrazeeAdam]

As soon as Luke said "smash or pass" I know Ellen's brain went straight to Pokemon...and her face screamed "god no..." and then relief + confusion when Luke brought up Dark Souls LOL Ellen going for the Dancer ;) who could resist those moves and that form

[@thegreatpineapple4425]

Oh yes, the Dancer. I remember using an ancient fighting technique called "punish the behind". 😏

"Two swords? Overcompensating." Smash cut to Corazon, protesting incredibly vocally

[@confused9831]

I think he has three swords, two scimitars and a rapier?

[@toymachine2328]

@@confused9831 I don't think owning multiple swords is the problem, player characters usually have several in their inventory. It's utilizing multiple weapons at the same time that brings up concerns of overcompensating. If Corazon were dual wielding and using mage hand to triple wield, then he would be trying very hard to look bad-ass, potentailly overcompensating for some perceived shortcoming. He may have a perfectly valid tactical reason for employing so many weapons at the same time, but for the casual onlooker he would appear to be showing off, desparate for attention.

[@owenjames8575]

​@toymachine2328 that being said, you have given me an exceptional idea for a character

[@BeckySetch]

Anyone else getting Magic Mirror (from the Shrek movie) vibes from Luke's descriptions and readings of the "eligible bachelors"? Absolutely love it, more would be appreciated... for any game franchise :D x

[@Storyman09]

I did get Magic Mirror from Shrek vibes! XD

[@LJay_1985]

Some of these eligible bachelors have corrupted their souls for eternity waiting for someone like Ellen. Yeah, they may wield cursed blades and/or have more limbs than they legally should, but each has a heart of pure gold. I feel its unfair to dismiss them based solely on their ability to annihilate you over & over again.

[@Vindominus]

Some are into that 😂

[@neolexiousneolexian6079]

...What kind of Orwellian nightmare are y'all living in that there are legal limits on the number of limbs you're allowed to have??? Where I'm from, we have the right to bear arms, chimpanzee arms, octopus arms, shark fins, and even millions of tiny little tardigrade legs, if that's what we choose!

[@yamisarkar91]

Yeah.... true love 🖤😈🖤😈🖤😈🖤😈🖤

[@pijon371]

Love how it wasn't even mentioned that Seath also sired a child and left her in a painting. Shameful parenting. Well dodged.

[@xtifr]

Ah, I'm so glad to finally learn what "smash" and "pass" mean! Glad Luke cleared that up! Also, I have no idea why Ellen laughed so hard at "they come as a pair", and therefore don't think it was a perfect reaction! 🤣

[@Kat-mu8wq]

Ellen also loves a bit of skin 🤣

[@IW4523]

As a tall person I was mildly upset, but as someone who has a skeleton I was furious

[@korihime]

Luke's face when he thought about Smash or Pass for the Orphan was hilarious, but remember: that DLC also has Lady Maria. She deserves all the flowers alone for being such an amazing boss fight. I was sad when I beat her, because I wanted to keep fighting her.

[@RynKen]

I wish she was tougher. Like give here more poise and/or hyper armor, increase her health bar, make her last phase unparryable. She's just too easy to exploit as she currently is, but the potential is there.

[@animentamaxarius3931]

This episode was downright delightful, I haven't smiled this hard in awhile. Thank you Luke, Ellen, and the rest of the Outside Xtra team!

[@la_robbo]

I politely request, nay, demand to know how many minutes of giggling had to be cut after the whole "they come as a pair" bit.

[@terryeinstien3155]

I would also like to know how hard it was to keep composure surrounding the "take a ride on king of the storm" bit

[@archer8492]

Ok, firstly YES we obviously want you to do this again. Secondly, the amount of effort Luke put into their 'dating profiles' was masterful, and third, don't forget Sekiro! So many wonderful potential partners buried in that game.

[@SolaScientia]

Sekiro has the age range covered pretty decently too (so does Bloodborne). I definitely wouldn't say no to Emma or to Genichiro.

[@archer8492]

@@SolaScientia Ooh I actually forgot Emma can be a boss and thus qualifies! I was thinking more like Juzou the Drunkard, Headless, Centipede Sen-Un etc...

[@SolaScientia]

@@archer8492 I need to get properly into the game. I keep being distracted by others (Elden Ring, Bloodborne, etc) and I'm getting the hang of parrying and all. I only know about Emma being a boss because of looking up the endings to make sure I don't set something in motion I didn't want to do (like not doing the shura ending and such).

[@archer8492]

@@SolaScientia Ah yeah fair enough. Tbh Sekiro is my favourite Soulsborne after Bloodborne, but my absolute favourite for combat. Once you get attuned to it none of the others are as satisfying to play!

[@SolaScientia]

@@archer8492 I had started 1 save, but I got myself in trouble in the Hirata Estate and I hadn't gotten the hang of parrying. I also hadn't touched the game in over a year since getting stuck. I started a fresh save a few days ago and have been laser focused on parrying and it's going better. I'm having to get used to the movement with how the dodges work since it's different enough from Bloodborne for me to screw up the timing. I love Bloodborne and am up to just before the fight with Micolash, which I've been putting off intentionally because of knowing how annoying that fight is with all the running around and such.

[@pmonday]

It's clear Luke had so much fun writing the descriptions, I love this episode.

[@CrowXIII]

Not only did Seath betray the dragons, he also has allegedly betrayed his bestie Gwyn and fathered Priscilla with his wife! You really can't turn your back on that guy.

[@bustinarant]

I think it was Gwyn's daughter, and I don't know if that dragon love/hate just runs in the family or if Seath kidnapped her like he does everyone else.

[@lizbethwright1]

I rarely comment on videos, but I had to express how much I loved this! The blind date descriptions where fantastic, and hearing the thought process behind those decisions genuinely made my day. 10/10 , more Dark Souls dating videos plz

[@johnyshadow]

@@MisterDragelof I´d pass Seath on my *EVIL* run. Take over his lab/dungeon, then smash him before he can smash me.

[@azuredragoon2054]

True, but there's actually a reasonably simple skip you can do to avoid that first fight entirely. Using that same elevator that takes you to his room in the Archives, you send it back then jump onto the railing as it descends. You might take some fall damage but if timed correctly you can then use that to get off at another point. And then move on to break his precious crystal tree and smash him properly.

[@IrvineTheHunter]

@@azuredragoon2054 "simple" Your not wrong, but it's definitely not easy.

The Dancer of the Boreal Valley and I have a lot in common. People get maimed when I dance too. So much maiming. So much. High Lord Wolnir: Having skin is good in a partner. Especially if it's their own. Crossbreed Priscilla: I think not instantly trying to kill you is an underappreciated feature of a relationship. I'd date Priscilla.

[@lukedeakin7124]

Priscilla is also just really fluffy

[@azuredragoon2054]

I feel like Priscilla would be one of those types that's hard to get, but if you DO manage to win her over, she'll fight to the death for you. Not to mention her warm, fluffy hugs.

[@taragnor]

While Priscilla is cute, I worry about her friends. I mean, she apparently thinks the painted world's inhabitants are peaceful and kind. It's really only a matter of time until she adopts a bone wheel and it brutally murders you.

[@bustinarant]

@@taragnor She probably hasn't been down to visit the commonfolk in a while. Have you *seen* that tail?

[@rhysiare]

My issues with Wolnir have nothing to do with his lack of skin or oversized frame, but with that much jewelry, I have to wonder how vain and materialistic he might be. Then there's also that blasted dark fog which kills you if you get too close to him, really kills the vibe (and me) when we try to cuddle.

[@manolismarinakis8444]

Came here for the historical leaders edition, though I guess Dark Souls bosses are less evil and kinder so I understand if you needed the lower stakes

[@anthonypaparo]

Have you ever liked someone so much you wished there was more than one of them? Well then, drop in to the depths of the Catacombs to date this next bachelor, Pinwheel! This boss is often fiery and passionate, but past partners have indicated that once you're committed he's a bit of a pushover. Will this boss awaken something in you or will you smash his hearts to pieces?

[@alexm1596]

19:20 lukes comedic timing is always so perfect. genuinely makes me laugh out loud every show of the weekend

[@GriffinWolf]

This was super fun, and I agreed with all of Ellen's choices. The Dancer would probably be my #1, they're one of my favourite bosses, and so elegant and graceful... two swords again, but doesn't need to compensate for anything, they're more an artistic choice ;) How about the Abyss Watchers? You're only really dating one, but every other day one of his brothers turns up, and there's a 50% chance that brother tries to kill you. Crystal Sage - well read and a top tier magician, but a real softy. Champion Gundyr - an incredible athlete who just can't deal with the fact that he's past his heyday, and mopes around the same ol' cemetary. Moonlight Butterfly - Ethereal beauty but lacking stamina, needs a regular rest. Chaos Witch Quelaag - *She's got, lee-ee-gs... so many lee-eee-egs...* Ceaseless Discharge - He's, uhm, probably got a great personality.

[@dexterpearson8689]

Oh my goodness...!!! Initially, I was a bit scared when Luke introduced the title. (Ellen's facial expression seemed to say, "Oh crap...! Uhhh...., Luke, what did you do...?" LMAO.) Watching it all the way through - and hearing producer Jon losing it in the background - absolutely enjoyed it! 🤣 Can't wait to see the next installment of this one. Would also like to see y'all (1) put Luke in the hot seat and ask him the same questions; (2) next, ask OxBox the same questions. Got a feeling Mike and Jane will surprise us the most with their answers while Andy either stays mum or ends up blushing a lot. 🤨 I agree with Ellen about dating Great Grey Wolf Sif and Crossbreed Priscilla and smashing everyone else. I, too, am an introvert. I think Priscilla and I could start off as friends first and get to know each other. If the both of us hit it off, maybe we could become dear lovers. I do have to disagree with Ellen about Sif on one thing - having Sif mourn her forever. If it were me, I'd want Sif to remember me every now and then, and be happy with their new owner or family. I wouldn't want Sif to be brokenhearted after my death. Thank you, Oxtra, so much for putting me in a very good mood when I got up this morning. Still subscribed.

Omfg this was amazing and the sort of discussions I love about dark souls 😂 I would absolutely love it if you guys did another one of these, thanks for the great content btw 💜

Can’t wait for all the “Ellen x Nameless King slow-burn enemies to lovers” fanfics to come out

[@MrMBinder]

Priscilla seems lovely. We could tell our parents that we're dating someone, but all we do is sit around and not kill each other. Also; we could drink tea and watch the seasons pass.

[@GriffinWolf]

"Sit around and not kill each other" sounds like the best possible relationship to me!

[@persephoneunderground845]

Ah yes, "sit around and not kill each other" aka a successful relationship during COVID lockdown. At least the Painted World is bigger than a one bedroom apartment!

Seasons; winter, winter, winter and winter.

I would absolutely love to see another of these, mainly just to hear the bio for Ceaseless Discharge.

[@bioprof87]

AGAAAAAAIN I need more of this, thank you in advance

[@tomgymer7719]

I do want you to do this again, but I also want to find out what happens with the ghose knights of camelot, so I'm torn.

And also, once the Nameless King is dated, just wait until he’s asleep and shank him in the back.

I would one day like to be worthy of describing myself as "athletic and having two machetes." One day. . .

[@neolexiousneolexian6079]

Fishing and golf are technically athleticism, and machetes are basically just big kitchen knives, which are basically just butterknives.

[@RavenGrave113]

Please make another one, this has been one of your best and funniest videos yet!

[@seracila432]

What about the "80's D&D choose - your - own - adventure" continuation?
