@@poisonrain87 you beat me to saying he beat me saying he beat me to it

@@adversarry he did, but he didnt mention it in the video. On stream he said it required to much statwise

Never noticed that! Explains alot!

Just another thing to add to the list that demonstrates the BIK is the Artorias of DS2. Not a complaint though. Both are awesome iterations on the tragic hero.

Oh BRUTAL…. No wonder he is such a nightmare.

How does that make him harder?

@@JaneDoe-mp4dh cause you’re used to dodging attacks from the right and seeing the attacks come from the right

Don't you need to destroy chains wielding pots?

@@user-qs1fm7ov9d nah, just need metal bolts

Bows can also destroy the pots. You just need iron arrows to do it. (magical type arrows might work too, I can't remember)

@@28Pluto elemental ones are iffy, last I can remember a fire arrow had the fire explosion effect but did absolutely nothing to the pot, not sure

Need Fire to burn pot…

Lmao “mouldy beef jerky” more like a mummified corpse with 2000 years worth of muscle decay

Actually some crossbows don't need to be pulled all the way back to be set, but pulling it even further back requires more endurance and increases the force behind the shot. Could be wrong though, tried to look it up to jog my memory, but only found minecraft questions ffs.

My assumption is that low stamina means your aim is wobbly, so you hit a glancing blow instead of dead on

@@rootzparty3053 That's probably it. Enemies only consist of a few hitboxes each thus aren't affected by a shot's accuracy as long as it hit, so the "loss of accuracy" is reflected as less average damage.

It's just a holdover mechanic from the bow class that the devs didn't think through when applying to crossbows. I wouldn't try to rationalize it.

Technically it was a big crossbow lol

...a sunlight medal?

@@SteamPaladin Boooooooo-

This is jolly cooperation

Ahh, the power of capitalism

If this game was pay-to-win, the logic would definitely apply. Thank goodness though Dark Souls isn't that kind of game.

The good old power of money

Did he do a elden ring run

@Ibrahim Ahmed He doesn't like Elden Ring.

Yeah, him and the power of capitalism.

Power of capitalism!

But was is it Luke 1, 2, 3 or the Skywalker

Pay to win much?

It came up in the stream, but the boss he was stuck on resisted dark.

@@seifer447 yeah but he could have picked it up just after the rotten, making every non dark-resistant boss trivial. That's what I done while playing only with crossbow and I just blazed through the game

@@giulioceresini1435 Thats pointless as every boss later in the game has some dark resist, only ones that dont is Alonne and the cats.

I'm a bit sad that he didn't picked it up and used it but I'm overall happy that he made full use of the other crossbows including the shield one. Also, I call the Sanctum Crossbow a grenade launcher lmao

@@RenaissanceSloth strange is, if you load it with lighting bolts and alt fire the dark attack, its still 100% dark or not?

Well Lemon does like sour experiences.

Uh, that Comment should be illegal because it physically hurt me.

Yo love your content press

@@CrimsonModify Glad I was able to make you cross :)

crossbows are actually stupidly stronk, miyazaki just hates them

I just checked and it would appear that, regrettably, you cannot power stance crossbows in Elden Ring. Kinda surprising, actually, although I didn't try with two of the same crossbow so perhaps I missed something.

@@HPetch the current score is Dark Souls 2: 1 Elden Ring: 0 Guess we all know what the best From game is. Pack it up boys.

Power stancing in ER is pretty lacking tbh. Ds2 lets you powerstance weapons of different types, ER is only weapons of the same type, and not even every weapon type can be power stanced

You have no idea how sad I was when I crafted both of Goddrick's weapons and found out there wasn't a unique power stance for Dragonfist + Axe

It would be cool if we could power stance weapons we see enemies power stancing. Like for example Clearnrot Rapier + Cleanron Scythe/Cleanrot Spear = (With spear doing the running heavy attack gives you the rot stab grab) Bloody Helice + Reduvia = (Pressing L1 lets parry with similar frames to storm parry, but it has low guard boost, meaning if you mistime it, you basically always get guard broken . Holding L1 then pressing light attack throws the reduvia like the sanguine nobles do or it could simply use the reduvia weapon art, either or) Crucible Knight Sword + Crucible Knight Shield = (Holding L1 then pressing strong attack allows you to do that shield uppercut they do.) Dragonfist + Godrick's axe = (Changes the weapon art of both to the flame tornado ash of war, Heavy attack does the jump while light attack shoots the projectiels) Some Honorable mentions! Wearing Godfrey's armor + using Godfrey's axe = The axe is always in the powered up mode and the weapon art lets you take reduced damage Godfrey's ash of war + cestus = gives you a special moveset that is similar to his fight. Using the weapon art instead now does his roar and if you light attack it will do the same weapon art as always but if you heavy attack it will do his tripple ground slam attack that ends with the explosion. Heavy attacks are the grabs for style points Black Knife + Black Knife assassin set. Allow the player to choose between the projectile or if they press heavy attack before they leap into the air, they do alecto's ground stab that causes the maliketh's black blade ash of war effect around you. Godskin Nobles set + Nobles Prescence incantation = Adds a combo to the incantation that jumps you into the air and slams down like the noble Godskin Apositle set + Black flame tornado ash of war = increase range of the ash of war by 20% if using the peeler give it hyper armor

HE DID WHAT?

@@vid6233 my exact reaction lol

I cried and shit my pants it was so scary 😦

Yeah I appreciate that it's his show and he can do as he likes but, IMO, it's funnier if he makes up words instead of swearing.

To be honest: I laughed

A certain weapon eh? You say that, but all you'd have to do is either go to Heide's, pick up the broken thief sword, then go to FoFG to get the flame longsword and then use it to kill dragonrider or you could just farm for an Old Knight weapon from the first guy by himself/a Heide Knight weapon from those dudes by themselves since you have to kill all you see using the Covenant of Champions. Then as you go forward its just a matter of planning your movements as far as seeing certain items go, then finally, the moment you get to the point you can buy infinite titanite its all over. It'd just be really annoying to farm the souls needed to upgrade every weapon you happen to be forced to use.

@@dutchvanderlinde248 That's a good point. Maybe Elden Ring is best for this idea, being open world and all. Either way I still think it would be fun. You could put a limit to titanite purchases to solve the problem of infinite titinite.

Yes

Luke’s*

But better due to torrent, and no reindeer

Yeah I was wondering why he didn't use that considering you can get it to do some insane damage with dark clutch and dark empowering armor.

I found it to be the worst of the three, don't get me wrong it's still a great game, however the way that they handled I-frames, bad enemy placement (Scholar, I know), lackluster boss quality just sunk the game to the bottom. However the exploration was fun as was magic and Poison. The game is very flawed, but at the same time it does a lot of things right, the build variety is no exception.

hmp. how far back did you do that run? around the time i attempted this, Flynns didn't change the outgoing damage on bows or crossbows at all, and the tooltips lied outright about it. Mundane also was scaled back so hard it wasn't worth even considering.

Thats pretty much just the DS1 weapon arts only run.

@@lordskyline9766 only easier i imagine, because you can now do light or heavy attacks in addition to the weapon art.

He kinda did already sorry

I mean, that would just be a normal run

@@bongosmcdongos4190 that and DS1 is the only game in the series (both Souls and Myazaki Collection) that does that..

Double edged sword. The extra distance can sometimes put you where you don’t want to be. Like too far away from the boss to immediately punish. Or off a cliff. My sweet spot is 40-50%, though I don’t have trouble with 69% (nice).

@@arellajardin8188 yeah. But personally never had this problem. I always was around 60-65% equip load.

Light rolling is great for ranged/support builds. I run a cleric with a dagger across all games and light rolling has saved me so much in pvp and pve

Unfortunately, no. At least, not after patches and SotFS. Mundane was nerfed to hell and back, and is now useless for almost every weapon. The exception is joke weapons like the Ladle, and even then, it doesn’t make the damage “good”.

Sorry, I meant: Yes, you get scaling. No, it is never worth it.

@@arellajardin8188 That's really unfortunate. Mundane used to turn crossbows into beastly backup weapons at higher levels. Really fun stuff.

Enchanted gives it D-scaling from Intelligence as well and works with other unscaling weapons that can be infused.

@@arellajardin8188 Yeah, this is one of the many reasons SOTFS is not as good as normal DS2. Mundane scaling on normal weapons aren't too bad but for some reason they made bows and crossbows have only around 20% of its original AR when infused with mundane. It would only be good once you get to lvl 200+ but at that point you would be better off just bumping health and stamina or for a bow max out scaling. Though if you get that high enough lvl you could in theory skip the entire first half because the door requires you have 1 million souls or kill the 4 main bosses

Thank you for saying Agility instead of Adaptability! It's such a pet peeve of mine because so many people seem to not know that Attunement also increases your Agility so casters often don't even need Adaptability.

@@XSniper74184 technically they do need it still, agility benefits from attunement less than adp but nonetheless it saves a few levels which is always nice. For reference, 5-25 jump in adp nets 15 extra agility, while 5-40 jump in att nets only 8.

You don’t even need to farm it. You can find one beside the first hidden bonfire in the palace for free

I don't think he was willing to stat for it.

@@DarkCT he had a lot of levels and souls too spares

@@raphicoco even so, i just recall when it was brought up that it was not something willing to be done. then again consideration for it may have happened around Elana.
