I had to reupload this video because not only did the old video get demonetized, age restricted and de-ranked, but when I tried to use the KZfaq editor function to remove that part that I thought might cause the issue (YT doesn’t tell you, so it’s a guess) the entire video had the audio completely out of sync, which made it literally unwatchable. So yeah… that’s… nice… -__- The full livestreams of this run: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrFgdaZz0ripl2w.html

I genuinely forgot about the twinkling stones lol. Looking back it's kinda funny to see that the embarrassment that were the twinkling dragon stones would come back revamped and roided to hell in Elden Ring. Almost too good, I never not use at least one on my faith builds. Kinda cool to see how a framework from an early game gets refined in a later one and FROM has shown this throughout the whole franchise.

@rainthesomber Жыл бұрын

@@GrayD_Fox I normally played with friends and started fresh play throughs with them so I never had to deal with him being tougher in newgame+ and while I said so many times I only fought Wolnir about 3 or 4 times (a lot of my playthroughs ended early due to not finding time to play with that friend anymore or in one case a friendship ending etc) and I was told to aim for the shackles by my friend the first time I fought him (I won't lie I died I think twice if I remember correctly one was me misplaying the other was me going too far from the boss into the darkness) I genuinely just didn't get his skeletons to spawn when I fought him, I'm assuming either cause I beat him too fast or rng just worked out for me. For context I also usually played strength builds except my first playthrough which was a pyromancy build supplemented with strength weapons. To be honest I wrote all of this because I felt like I needed to defend and justify myself but then I thought about it more and it's a bit silly. I mention I didn't know a weird boss quirk which I got to see from the video especially with dark souls that has a lot of them and that's that if someone doesn't believe my experience then it really just doesn't matter. I enjoy the games but I'd be lying if I said I completed them (the only one I completed was ds3 much much later on about 4 years after playing it) too often I take a break then come back to the game with the mindset of "well it's been awhile I might aswell make a new character start fresh" or "well that character I played with Ace and I'm not friends with him anymore so I guess I should make a new one" TLDR I ramble about my darksouls history

The name for a humanoid dragon is called A Weredragon is a human that can transform into a dragon. This usually occurs through some kind of magic, like a curse or spell. The term “were” comes from old English, and it means “man.” “Were” is used to describe people who turn into other creatures, usually animals.

That was what I initially wanted to do. "Where dragons rule" to be specific. But no matter how much I changed it, it still triggered the copyright system. So therefore I went with the double dragon theme instead. Although Dragonforce actually used the double dragon theme in the bridge of Black Fire, so in a roundabout way there's still some Dragonforce in it, in a sense.

Dark Souls 1 dragon form is by far the best and it still wasn't that great. The unarmed damage boost made it pretty solid and the breath wasn't bad either. The ones on DS2 and DS3 are so bad in comparison. I wish they'd take the transformation concept in these games further and make it not garbage.
