Hey press, I wanted to ask you a question, If the zweihander is the pancake maker, Then what is the great club?

[@PressContinue]

@@YassienAbdallah The pancake breaker? I dunno. The angry wife's rolling pin?

[@remoteless05]

It’s fuckalicious!

[@Syt1976]

As a German, your attempts at German were delightful and disturbing. There's a reason why Dutch presenters were popular on German TV for a while - we love the accent. 😀

[@hellspawn22001]

Never have the words of Goku from DBZA been more accurate “when you fall off the horse you have to get back up and eat that horse. Eat that horse with me PressContinue.”

[@thefirstsin2988]

24:33 'Yes, I'm Press Continue, yes. I would really like to spin around my Zweihänder here. Of course, playing Dark Souls. Destroying all Monsters with this sharp blade. The thick and hard Zweihaender in both hands. This is super hot, great, great, yes. Oh, dammit.' This translation was corrected for grammar. And yes, "toll" and "klasse" both mean great in English.

[@CloudYasami2]

As a german, that german segment felt really uncomfortable. not because it was bad, but because it also made sense.

[@PressContinue]

Es tut mit leit

[@saensaenmann8784]

*leid :P You did a good job with the Zweihänder, it healed a little part of my soul, tormented by a decade of bad pronunciation!

[@lukasovysilenosti]

Yeah. Funny thing is, Press says he gave up his german lessons quite early but his german is still much better compared to the sales guys in my company (quite sad, since like 50% of our customers are german). They must have quite good teachers.

[@CloudYasami2]

@ Indeed his german was shockingly good xD

[@Thaurlom]

It's ok, as a Spaniard, I can lend you my mom's chanclas to take revenge

[@scottt7309]

Giant Dad, Micro Mom and then there will be Medium Child.

[@PressContinue]

Nano child. Even smaller, using caestus. (at least in that run I did wear the mask of the child quite a few times)

[@scottt7309]

Medium child uses the wooden club. So they won't cut themselves on a sword.

[@FromFrosti]

Middle child would be nice aswell. Unupgraded miracle run, because the middle child has no faith in themself.

[@GreatCornDev]

I know this run was painful, but the Torus Demon joke was straight up agonizing. Love it

[@JKLeeds]

Couldn't quite make out the lyrics in the opening song, they weren't speaking clearly....they were muttering a little

[@woodsy4698]

Whatching the live was a wonderful experience. Had a lot fun joking with chat, but I must admit that things started going out of zwei hand after mid game.

[@monkeykong6230]

Thanks for the kiss for Solaire’s sake! Keep up the good work!

[@PressContinue]

🥰 and thank you for the generosity

[@AccainGaming]

hmmm I feel weirdly cheated on here 😉

[@dhayris160]

There was a Havel Mom setup before Giantdad. In fact, part of the reason Giantdad is SL99 is to avoid ninja flipping Havel Mom at SL135

[@PressContinue]

Ah that's true. The good and very old days

[@rruhland]

Everyone talks about the big pancake R2, but I feel like my favorite part of the Zwei moveset is that roll-poke.

[@PressContinue]

Yeah very beneficial. Especially during the Artorias fight. Everytime he did his charge, I could just roll through it and poke him in the back

[@darianclark3980]

24:32 - 24:59 😂😂 And that is how Giant Dad and Micro Mom meant to have their Average Sized Son.

Didn't leave in my Spearical and Spherical joke 33:40, guess just like the spherical hit-boxes, my joke is poly-gone.

[@MrMeanKing]

Yes I skipped all the way immediately before fully watching, I wanted to see if I could wiggle my way into a pun for the viewers! Now I'm gonna watch this video from start to finish and see what I missed!

[@PressContinue]

Ah, well... when you have to sort through 15 hours of footage it's pretty common to miss out on something. Wouldn't be the first time

[@MrMeanKing]

@PressContinue oh don't worry I know it's because of the time constraints my man, I jest I jest, still enjoying the video! I wonder what you're gonna cook up for us next 🤔🤔🤔

[@SixxWolfZx]

It honestly amazes me how souls players like you, Doom Wolf, Jk Leeds, The Backlogs, and Baron's Castle all do these crazy challenges yet I'm over here on the edge of raging when I was finishing up the Duskborn ending on Elden Ring. Still thinking about redoing /finishing my SL1 run but damn my patience needs a Titanite slab upgrade first.

[@judgement20nyx83]

Sometimes I wonder if there's an egg to crack here but then I remember it's not my yolk and none of my business. Crazy, that.

For anyone complaining about the Necromancers not dropping the Skull Lantern, the last one is guaranteed to drop it if you haven’t obtained it beforehand just like the last Mimic will drop a Symbol of Avarice.

[@Greger88]

That was a close one since the 4 kings fight was definitely worth the thumbs up, i unfortunately had to rescind it for the tumbleweed joke but in the end you won it back with the beutifull manus fight. 👍👏

[@ikej1200]

That Mutter edit is nice as fudge! Respect! Greeting from Finland! Btw 21:25 I whatched that livestream and kept shouting to my phone "just quit out dude". That was painful to witness. Very painful indeed...

[@kiriusview9251]

Excellent work with the no-hit on Four Kings. And then you decide to just no-hit Manus as well. I guess all the practising during the oneshot challenge paid off.

[@PressContinue]

No, back in the day when I did the SL1 NG+6 caestus run, the fight with manus took 14 minutes in RTSR mode. So that's a lot of time to avoid his attacks.

[@Soapy-chan]

24:25 yes, it is kinda annoying lol. Also great pronunciation of the german sentences you said afterwards!

[@MusicMedic5150]

The Dutch have one huge advantage over Germany. The Dutch gave us Eddie Van Halen. (Not taking away anything from Alex or Jan!)

16:35 "Help me Step-giant, i'm stuck!!"

[@damionmcquaker4898]

love your videos and the challenges you do, and if it ever helps in the future you can tell the gargoyles apart by thier wings, the first one has more or less full wings while the seconds wings are tatters and badly damaged on it;s right side

[@PressContinue]

And the lack of helmet and shield on the 2nd one. They're actually quite distinct from eachother XD

[@balhatchet]

I may be remembering this incorrectly, but I believe the origin of "mum's the word" doesn't have anything to do with mothers, but "mummers" which is an old term for actors, and also the origin of the word "mime", which would somewhat explain why the meaning of the phrase involves not talking.

[@maxwellwilliams1802]

THE LEGEND NEVER DIES

[@ksbvideomaker803]

I don't know if i should be more impressed by how good your German is or more weirded out by its doublemeaning. Either way it surprised me. Greetings from Germany.

[@Squelchnoise]

You can tell the Bell Gargoyles apart by their heads I'm pretty sure, the first one has the full Gargoyle Helm with the wings and chin point sticking out and the second just has a metal plate on its face

[@PressContinue]

And the second one also lacks a shield

[@Harshstew21]

Yo dark reality as the background song was a good choice

[@roffel4395]

The german part really caught me off guard xD

[@lingghispir]

You could say this really is a HANDful

[@Dajudge06]

You had to pick my favorite Rammstein song didnt you, I had to pause the video to go on a binge of music the pull was too strong xD.

[@americanstudent9062]

Did I expect Rammstein as intro music? No. Does it fit, yes

[@DeathWishBoi666]

the german section hit me out of nowhere.. like you REALLY tried your best to sound german. obv not perfect yada yada but it was so funny to me because we kinda do talk like that when we kinda joke around.. but the wording was insane.. like insanely funny.. "Ich möchte UNBEDINGT meinen Zweihänder herumschwingen, na klar Dunkele Seelen spielen" is so insanely funny to me.

[@sunsage3754]

You probably know this, but hey comment for engagement... anyway the Firekeeper's set is like the best 'light' armor set in the game (when upgraded) so this is probably a very solid build if done the normal way with stats and upgrades. Poise is for people who don't like pain anyway, we don't need it.

[@Atomic_Aegis45]

Anyone else notice how the wrinkles of the Giant Leggings resemble the sun's rays in drawings. At 2:51 you can see it pretty well.

[@Pattyrick666]

Giant peen confirmed for Solaire's very own sun

[@cptnoremac]

You said "raises the question" instead of misusing "begs the question" like most people do. You're my new favorite person.

38:58 fun fact, if he replaces Centipede demon in enemy randomiser he will die waaaayyy before reaching you at the fog gate because of his weakness to fire damage. It was fun to see. Seeing Artorias in Capra demon's arena was not fun tho...

[@veljko8663]

Wish we had full track like that intro song

[@OmneAurumNon]

26:48 I just realized that the second Gargle doesn't have a shield. So, you can use that to tell them apart even if you already tailcut the first one.

[@PressContinue]

True

[@ggjade]

9:15 if it werent for the fact another fromsoft game (armored core for answer) didnt have a company called torus im not sure i wouldve gotten it

[@xxthelinkxx3296]

Good job on beating the game with 4 hands 👌

[@lordzarzu7250]

One thing I’ve always used to tell the gargoyles apart is their helmets. The first one has little prongs poking up from it and the second one looks like it’s bald

[@PressContinue]

And actually even more obvious: the second one doesn't have a shield in his left hand

[@tarille1043]

You should pump dex. People don't seem to understand that it scales better and does more dmge with dex because its a quality weapon.

[@Nyota7766]

This should be fun, probably not for press but fun for me.

[@TheInfamousWoahgoat]

37:55 I just now realized you probably should've switched off lightning zwei because leather armor has greater lightning resist.

[@yamiryushi]

I don't get why it's loved. I just can't get over how slow the Zwei is. I recognize it's great power but man I just can't like it. That being said, thanks for the laugh. That instant DBZA quote with Bulma hitting on Trunks is one of my favorite scenes xD I get your pain. Spanish and Portuguese are similar but not the same. Those that do not speak either as a native language think they are identical too.

[@PressContinue]

The first time I used the zweihander back in the day I had the same experience since I was so used to quick weapons. So the startup time for each attack just annoyed me. But once you'll get used to that, you'll understand why it's a fan favorite
