[@tubetorpedo]

​@@mistamethylbrot2187 It's how you use and position her. She is either the best or worst summon depending the fight and your own role in it. If you use yourself to draw agro away from her she usually works great; e.g. with Astel positioning her to near the wall usually works great, but naturally you have to keep Astel busy by yourself and not let it focus on Latenna. Same with several dragons like Borealis. She is not the summon you use to distract the boss from you, it's opposite. You keep boss busy and she keeps chipping away it's health, but you have to pull your part. You can use her as distraction but best use you get if she stays alive. And naturally best bosses for her are usually those who got big arenas.

Every time I watch this it hits me it the feels. People who say this game has no narrative or a poor one just didn’t play it. You build your own narrative, and interacting with each player builds theirs. Together you each make a unique journey through the lands between that doesn’t feel like you’re playing a scripted character, but like your playing as your own person. You get to experience it, which is something very few games are able to do.

[@alexanderbeardsley5465]

it really hit me at the end when the roundtable members start vanishing. at the beginning you have all these people who are there to help and guide you as the tarnished. but as time goes on depending on what you've done or havent done ppl will be gone. nepheli has a chance for a good ending with becoming the lady of limgrave. but if you didnt do her quest she's dead. D, is dead after the dagger is given to him, diallos dies trying to protect jars and failing in the end, the brother/priest guy ends up going insane, fia dies at the hands of D's brother. Dung Eater dies at the hands of the tarnished, same with gideon, Hewg loses his memories, Enia basically goes silent, and Rodericka sticks around only to be near hewg.

[@Yorikoification]

But the game has no narrative...I mean, unless you consider it narrative to watch youtube videos explaining the lore, characters motives or wtf you actually achieved "narrative". The games doesn't explain shit to you, it doesn't make sense, that's why all these youtubers, redditors etc have to discuss and essentially make up the story of the game as they've done for all Fromsoft Games since a motherfudging decade ago. "You build your own narrative" You're right, because the developers are too goddamn lazy to build the narrative of the game they made.

"Slowing learning that dying is okay" What a great souls quote! Praise the sun my friend!

[@Wegetzu]

i was so proud when he charged the dragon with confidence and skills he learned along his travels. Love how the animation character has legit growth and this hits feelings hard.

[@Pr1nceastra]

In the end the guy in fact " git gud "

[@clonexx]

This is about as amazing as anything can get. Whoever you got to do the singing, props to them. That high note in the chorus is incredibly difficult to hit correctly and have it sound good. There’s not that many people with the vocal chops capable of doing it right, like the original. The end was pulling on my heart strings, with everyone disappearing. Perfect.

[@goldenshark7546]

Usually its his father or brother.

[@HanSolo__]

I think you would like the Noodle's video covering the Need For Speed series. I mean "...his performance is second to one!"

[@JeyDB]

It was his brother James who sung the song and his brother Andrew wrote the lyrics

[@clonexx]

@@JeyDB Thanks for the info, they’re both really talented. Lyrics were great and singing was on point.

[@darkstar19]

Bro the high notes are falsetto and very easy to hit in falsetto haha regardless this amazingly done!

[@ObiThumbKenobi]

This is the first time our little Tarnished friend has shown some real grit rather than immediately screaming and fleeing. This is a real masterwork. Carbot, you've really outdone yourself here. I've watched almost every one of your videos and I think this is really a gem, on par with the tearful finale of StarCrafts. Well done. You never cease to exceed and amaze.

[@Darri3n]

Happy Torrent makes me smile every time. Too cute for this world.

[@NightGazer]

I like the part where he summons Latenna and quickly draws his sword with a bad ass face. Goes charging into the fog to defeat the dragon. I felt that moment.

[@akaErma]

and then slaps it on the ankle lol

[@teomosu]

That is EXACTLY how i fought with ALL the dragons in the game. Latenna summon in a place where dragon can't reach and running on horse to hit their ankles - 2 strikes, then run away to avoid tail swipes; rinse and repeat.

[@kingofgames6248]

That last part hit hard, Everyone disappearing apart from Hewg and Rodricka felt sad.

[@m0cean]

This video had it all. Had a weirdly profound moment at "slowly learning that dyings okay". We're all gonna make it, bros.

[@aidilharis95]

that roundtable bit hits hard 😢

[@holygrad1]

So good, They should have featured this at game of the year awards show.

[@kasane1082]

I really feel like one of Carbots sole reasons for animating Elden Ring is to vent the frustrations of the game, because literally everything in here is just 1 to 1 with how they are in game, truly a cultured animator

[@The_Keeper]

In that case, I can't wait for the complete meltdown Melania is gonna give him, and the subsequent animation.

[@seethlaemmert5175]

It very much feels like they are players, not just someone drawing something that they had explained to them.

[@guitarluva90]

@@The_Keeper Place your bets now, how many times will Carbot die in the Malenia episode?

[@EisenloweCR]

This is, by far, the most perfect video ever created. It stirs all sorts of feelings for a fan of Elden Ring. From the commiserating cries of the lyrics complaining of the difficulty to the breathtaking mountain of enemies being defied by a seasoned tarnished to the NPCs disappearing in the Round Table and the deeply sad meaning that entails. It is a rollercoaster of gaming emotions. Perfect in every aspect, every frame.

[@Infuzibil]

That was a perfect A-ha tribute. Thank you, CarbotAnimation!

[@BartixShieldsmen]

It is on this day we have been blessed by true art. Came expecting a reboot of the old dark souls meme, stayed for the amazing cover. Behold dog everyone, behold dog.

[@Kayrol1990]

BEHOLD DOG!!

Much dog was beheld that day.

Another timeless masterpiece, which made me cry for about 5 minutes at "behold dog"

This is a complete masterpiece, conveying all the emotions of this damned game in 3 minutes and 30 seconds of sheer animation brilliance!!

[@deezenuts7195]

The best thing is the more you played elden ring the more you understand the hilarious pain within the cartoon

[@quinnmichaelson6793]

I love how the protagonist has gone full one punch man. He started out with normal clothes and a full head of hair. Now he's bald and always has a cape.

[@HandsomeGamerGuy]

But he was always bald?

[@quinnmichaelson6793]

@@HandsomeGamerGuy episode 1 showed him with brown hair the whole time. He starts to lose it at the end while in crutches. He then briefly has hair re appear, like when rolling from Margit in ep 2. He gets his cape sometime later.

[@HandsomeGamerGuy]

@Quinn Michaelson I've rewatched the video, and our John Elden Ring is always bald. Especially noticeable as he has been bald since the beginning. My first comment was talking about the Elden Ring Video, not OPM. I haven't communicated that one well enough, my fault.

[@wyvernsoul5666]

Has cape & has to escape :'D

[@birdst3r]

so sick to see that the character has developed some real bad-assery, especially around 2:14, after all that stuff that he's gone through in the previous epsiodes ❤ literally gave me goosebumps.

[@leonardodavi2695]

He just got gud.

Reminds me of the headless from the ded cells animated shorts. Keeps getting more badass but keeps getting owned.

[@Eliotxshadowfrost21]

This couldnt have come out at a better time! Great video and congrats to Elden Ring for winning Game of the Year!

[@paper_moths]

I've watched this episode a stupid amount of times and still tear up at the end.

[@seablade214]

Having wholesome flashbacks to ThePruld's Dark Souls with your mates, ah memories.

[@thk-f2b]

It was cool how confident he was against dragons. When I started playing this game, even Godric's Knight was difficult to beat. I felt that this game was too difficult. However, little by little, I felt that I was getting better than before, and I did not give up. I thought about the last boss right in front of me. I had a hard time beating Godric's knight, but now the moment I tried to fight the final boss felt funny. My experience in the Elden Ring was extraordinary. It felt like writing a heroic story rather than reading it. For me, Elden Ring will continue to be the best game ever. Please excuse the awkward sentence using a translator.

[@rogueraccoon1840]

Yeah once you get to New game plus it'll feel satisfying since you'll breeze past every enemy like they're Nothing

Just takes some leveling 🤷 guessin you a noob, and prolly very young

So I'm here for my 20-something re-watch and just notice D is NURSING his Twinned set... I'm dead! For a minute or two.

[@frizzlefry176]

I am so glad you pointed that out! Hahah 😂

[@50caliber29]

So good. I'm watching this with a big goofy smile on my face but also feeling sort of sad, how does that work. The marionette falling over playing the keyboard is just genius & the moment all the bosses are shown & he just thinks fuck it & dives in, so perfect. Edit: oh yeah, whoever the dude is who sings on this, really talented & great tribute to Ah-Ha 👍👏

[@dennischiu272]

1:48 I'm gonna hazard a guess and say Carbot has seen that old Dark Souls SFM "When you go Dark Souls with your best mates" and wanted to make an entire Take on Me video inspired by it.

[@daydreamdirty]

Hmm, I dunno about that. I mean, it has quite a few tough ones from the past to contend with... Evolution of Dance, The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, Numa Numa, Cows With Guns, The End of The World, "Torn" Mime, insane robot dance, This Is Sparta techno remix, Taking the Hobbits To Isengard remix...
