Thank you guys for watching this, I really appreciate it. Imma clarify couple things: 1. I’m black, don’t worry lmao 2. I wish I talked about Sekiro & Demon Souls some more 3. If you like this kind of video, be sure to like the video & subscribe for more stuff like it

[@BDSMaestro]

If you feel like the series will end after Elden Ring DLC, try doing multiple New Game Plus runs. I recommend DS3 as a starting point. There’s something about killing the twin princes 3 times in a row knowing you’re going to go in for at least one more.

[@BDSMaestro]

GOD DAMN THAT EDIT AT THE END

[@Memillionss]

Wanted to comment on two things: -First of all: good video, loved it. The final montage was spectacular. -When you started talking about "After the DLC get out, thats it" You brought me back. I started the first ds in 2012, and i loved it! From the mood, the ambiance and the story. When DS3 came out and the dlc too... I felt the same. There won't be another Dark Soul. I was really hyped but also bummed out. Something so good is coming to an end and that's it. But that's also the beauty of it. When it comes to an end, the circle closes, the story is told and the game wont be ruined by milking it for too much. Thanks for the video, bro

[@WhoIsKaiYT]

[@scragglie]

great video man subbed. that outro went super hard

[@lil.dishrag]

5:05 SFIII is an example of another game that turns invincibility frames into a mechanic. If you input forward within 6-10 frames of an attack hitting (the longer you hold the input, the shorter the window is), you negate all damage and become invincible for the duration of the parry, and they can be done consecutively if the timing is correct. Hypothetically, just like Dark Souls, if you get good enough with the mechanic you can take no damage whatsoever. Also fantastic video, 10/10 will watch again.

[@WhoIsKaiYT]

That’s technically a parry but u right

[@Terminator-ht3sx]

there isn’t chip dmg in street fighter so can’t you just block? you prolly get a frame adv with the parry but can’t you just block?

[@thosebloodybadgers8499]

​@@Terminator-ht3sx sure, technically. And that's how most fights play out because parrying is an art that's very difficult to get down consistently but, like, if you had the option and you knew you'd succeed at either, you should always parry. Those frames are no joke. Letting your opponent run offense is a huge disadvantage for numerous reasons. If it won't be outright 50/50's, the decision fatigue will eventually wear you out and give them an opportunity to rip you a new one, plus the opportunity to likely continue running it in an even more advantageous situation. Momentum is king in fighting games, I feel

The only problem of your video is that you said no build is going to have an easier tile against Malenia but that's not true : Strength amin are going to deal "easely" with her (or big weapons users)

[@ExpandDong420]

Yeah but that's universally the case, powerstanced Colossal Swords and 80 STR turns everything into pancakes

[@ekul2k3]

@passpermi730 Hey man I’m kinda a noob and I’d like to try a challenging (but not frustrating) build that takes skill to work. What would you suggest?

[@CloudyK1ng]

@@ekul2k3if you don’t care much for builds and wanna lean more to the skill side mattering most I recommend playing Sekiro, legit has to be one of my favourite games I’ve ever played, there’s still variety on your method of tackling a boss but fights are more about pressuring and parrying so you get to dictate how fast a boss fight goes depending on your skill level

[@jumbootsjamstrang5694]

[@amcname8789]

Really high quality video with good production quality. I think it's fascinating how different people's experiences are - Maliketh is still difficult for me to an unfun degree for example, but DS3's bosses were largely easy, but still excellent (Gael took me 3 attempts, but still loved it). Conversely, I still haven't beaten Orphan of Kos, over many months. Small recommendation: the artist Cthulhuseeker has made several synthwave remixes of ER tracks that might be my preferred versions. :)

[@danielarriaga1457]

Comedy was on point, really felt the "loser" when dying to the husk of king Vendrick cuz it happened to me more than I'm willing to admit, the first time it happens I didn't knew how to lower his hp before the fight so I smacked that tree for almost 15 minutes just to have my ADP ahh get mushed in two swings and go like "nah not worth it"

[@WhoIsKaiYT]

Tbf, getting giant souls does suck to grind for lmao

[@danielarriaga1457]

@@WhoIsKaiYT Taking the chance that you replied, one thing I loved about your video was that I grew with Dark Souls 2, I didn't even have internet at the time, just a PS3 and that game my uncle thought was about cool knights and magic, he quit after he tried to beat the troll on the first area, I didn't. Put around 200 hours on the game farming the giant king for max level and trying every build the game offered against all bosses, everything without having an iota of an idea what "getting good" was, because it wasn't about the difficulty or Miyazaki's magic touch, it was about the souls series being amazing videogames regardless of context and their community. Thanks for sharing my love for something so much that you made this incredible video.

[@josetomascamposrobledano4618]

Some points. -the gameplay itself. Souls-like always feels nice even when they are “weak games”. - the story. DS3 is the one game where the story is perfectly understandable if you know who you are killing. Very few bosses like Rotten Greatwood can be considered “filler” on that one. While most other games have many filler bosses. Like Stray demon, half of DS2, Elden Copy-paste, etc. -lack of difficulty options. While people are basically making the same difficulty/quality Tier List. On retrospection outside internet-NPC’s you’ll hear stories of people who struggled on a particular boss. DS2 serpent lady with the floor full of poison. I also heard stories of people calling the dogs of Capra demon the true hardest boss of the series. -The dance. Again, DS3, Mostly Sekiro, and now Elden Ring are masters of this. The old games can be beaten with a greatsword and poise tanking without braincells. But I truly feel the games I mentioned are better balanced for using let’s say a straight sword and mix 1 of your hits during the middle of a boss combo. Sekiro in general. DS3 with many bosses like Lorain and Gael. With Gael you can get 1 hit after every cape combo dodge. Elden Ring and Mogh’s Nameless King timing (AKA super delayed). Anyways. This comment clearly proves I’ve played TOO MUCH. So to add a cool fact, Malenia obviously can be a cake walk with the right build. Such as “Let Me Solo Her”. The build is a mix of Freezing with a cold katana, using fire with Rivers of Blood to reset the Freeze, because Freezing gives a HP explosion every time it procs. There is also the Bleed which is insanely OP in Elden Ring. And finally River’s Fire damage (Fire damage in general) is Malenia’s weakness. Meaning that LMSH build is one of the best since he is hitting 3 very reliable weaknesses, taking advantage of 1 weakness already makes Malenia way easier. Which is to say, LMSH build is optimal for Malenia and I would rather rock that strategy compared to other popular ones like Rykard’s Blade. Also. If somehow someone reached this point in the comment. Demon of Hatred is secretly an amazing boss. You can play “unique” by always running to his back. Or you can grow a pair and stay in his face. You can parry his attacks like any other Sekiro boss. Parrying the 3 head-bangs does build a lot of posture. As well as the 2 leg stomp attacks. And if you master the fight, there is combo that goes like “1 hand swipe, 1 dodge to avoid the fire arm and then regular parry”. Once you manage to learn that parry+ dodge, you will master Sekiro and learn to mix parry+ dodge to be better against bosses!

[@WhoIsKaiYT]

I will actually use your tips next time I fight Demon of Hatred, thank u for commenting!

So fun thing about i frame dodging as an essential mechanic. Monster hunter has had this since the ps2. And monster hunter became about as popular in japan as call of duty did in the west. So its not wrong to say that potentially fromsoft took inspiration from monster hunter when crafting the boss aspect of their games

[@morgymomo8535]

16:52 this is the most real thing ever. I got into Elden ring coz my friends were playing it and it looked fun, In the past 2 years-ish I have played all of the souls games apart from sekiro. i've platinumed DS1, DS2, DS2 Scholar, DS3, ER and even Demon souls. and I'm afraid of ER DLC as it a) is going to be the greatest thing ever and completely reorganize what my favorite bosses are, and b) what happens next? its probably gonna be a while till we hear anything, Elden Ring 2? another DLC? new Souls game? something else? Dark Souls 4? it scares me that i'm not sure what the future looks like for my favorite game series/group

[@sosleepygirl]

1st off, i loved the video ^_^ 2nd, I realize that he sounds white to some ppl & 16:37 caught ppl off guard, but he clarifies in a pinned comment that he’s black. Hope this helps with the ppl who assumed he was white without checking for clarification : )

[@hhowdy]

Elden Ring was the catalyst for me playing through every other souls game too. Even getting 100% platinum on all of them too. Shadow of the Erdtree is going to be my first time ever going into a souls release. And my first time going into it on the hype train, that last week until the DLC drops is going to be so hype. This DLC is going to be special not just because what I just said but also because it’s going to be the biggest DLC to date and possibly the biggest DLC ever.

[@afrokoku-jin5161]

Ain’t no way you said that

[@Horrid747]

my favorite boss ever is slave knight gael yes i beat him first try but his music and just the atmosphere and story i had goose bumps the entire fight my heart was racing when i finally beat him then i realized that was it i was now done with the dark souls trilogy. + his fight is just feels so good to dodge putting everything l had learned up till then to the test like dodging into his attack to avoid his cape waiting for a opening with my heavy weapon

[@lewis1423]

i think you nailed it on the head when you said you can die 20 times but still be confident you can take then, thats why people call the games fair. the fact that when you die you can see why you died, and know what you could do better next is what makes these games so learnable. so its also funny to me that you bring up malenia whos water foul is the anthesis of this mentality, its an attack that leaves you feeling like theres no clear solution to avoiding the damage making it feel so unfair almost like victory is out of your hands and more just about being lucky. ( and yes i know there are specific ways to avoid it but its not something most people will figure out naturally)
