It was so hard to work on this instead of playing the DLC lmao. But I've started the DLC and I'm loving it!

I like to do runs off camera so I can pop it in when needed, but people really enjoy the live challenges. I definitely want the video experience to be different than the live experience, so I'm glad it was enjoyable even with the stream content mixed in!

This is what happens when I try to show boat lool

Oh baby, I've been working away. I'll be on today playing the Elden Ring DLC

Something tells me you could dominate Elden Ring. Don't give up!

Maybe try a later souls game, dark souls 1 is usually harder for newcomers from my experience, even i quit it, but eventually decided to try dark souls 3, and i absolutely loved it, it's still my extremely close 2nd favourite game of all-time. I also actually ended up playing the series in reverse order but it was a still blast. DS1 does fall off quite hard in the second half, since it unfortunately had to be rushed to meat deadlines. Still better than a lot of games though.

Also i should add, dark souls 2 (the vanilla version which is also on steam, not scholar of the first sin edition which changes level design mostly for the worse) is also usually seen as easier, and while features like adaptability aren't great, levels are so cheap anyway that you can usually get it to level 25 pretty early while still focusing on other stats. And dark souls 3, while being more fast paced, is also much easier at least early on in my opinion, ramping up in difficulty at an extremely fair way as you progress imo, with the only spikes really being pontiff sulyvahn (who i didnt personally struggle with but a lot of people did) and the dlc.

And if you want to try elden ring, give it a go, now is a better time than ever to start it, and while i dont agree with it being the easiest, even if you can get to high levels early (people seem to not consider that new people often dont know every upgrade material and useful/cheesy item's location) but i tried it after finishing the dark souls series and had a great time with it.

The only thing that keeps you from becoming hollow is not giving up, if your character respawns it is for the sole purpose of making you try again, if you give up in the face of such insignificant adversities what will happen when you face bigger adversities throughout your life? at least for me Dark Souls changed my perspective on how to face problems and I hope this comment will encourage you to finish such an incredible game.

I'm working on it!

I love to hear it! I hope the flight went as smooth as possible!

Thanks, Nugget!

I thought I remembered needing the lord vessel to speak with Kaathe, but that's cool to know that I was wrong!

@@morgansbasement you just need to make sure you haven’t placed the vessel at the alter for him to appear 😊

I hope the video hit the spot!

There was definitely a good amount of prep that went into it ahah, but I'm out here looking for a challenge! I'm glad you like it!

We made it through!

Thank you, brother!

Thanks! It's signed by the team at machine games, they sent it to me after the Wolf 2 video!

Thank you!

Let's go! BKS never again!

Yeah, in total it's probably close 100 hours now.

It was a different time back then. They definitely changed the formula for the newer games

Lets go, Ryan!

Souls games are so much better blind, and if you're only through DS1 then you have so many good times ahead of you dude. I'm actually jealous

@@morgansbasement unfortunately not as many as you think. The only games I’m blind on are ds2 and 3. I’ve platinumd the others already 😭

I'm glad you liked it!

I am definitely Canadian LOL

@@morgansbasement hell yeah man love to see it, fantastic video as well, made me want to 100% DS

I couldn't have said it any better myself 😂

4. Dogs

I sometimes got hit and survived lol, and with power within I would have bled out 😂. I wasn't confident in my rolls lol

I've only played Elden Ring on PC, so I could do a challenge/achievement run on that game for sure! and I would love to do it. This is one of my favorite series!

This is your sign

I'm glad you like the content!

YESSIR

You got the game for sure! Here's the song (I'm pretty sure): Crypt of the NecroDancer OST - Crypteque (1-2)

I'm glad you're still kicking and not drunk on the floor of the inn!

Buddy, you won't need your pants off for 40 minutes, who are you kidding. But I'll take 2 mins if that's what you can offer

@@morgansbasement I’m living on the EDGE

@@ItzSweetTrav EDGING

Happy to have you back!

Let's go, Jan!

GOAT JEREMY

Besides the farming, this was my favorite challenge yet. Not as good as the reverse sweep that's happening rn, but damn close

Thanks for coming out to the streams!

@@morgansbasement Thanks for having me.

Thanks for the gas!

Anytime, Jason!

I can't believe you've never heard of the Souls series?? EITHER WAY... I'm happy to have you here!

@@morgansbasement I know it! Im generally a fan of fantasy but I rarely play RPGs. I think my most played RPG is GTAV and I mainly got into that through the cars. Halo also I guess but thats more FPS.

I don't know if I'm doing the full trilogy at level 1 since I have all the achievements in DS2 already, but thanks!

I really enjoyed doing the SL1 runs, and I agree with you that it feels fantastic to get it done. If anyone is doing all the achievements I would definitely recommend using Pyro. It speeds up the process a ton, but definitely play the game in the way that maximizes fun. That's a great point

@@morgansbasement yeah, with all the achievements it’s completely understandable to use pyromancies, cus without it ng+ becomes wildly too difficult and it just expedites the process

The plan was always to combine it into a video for the people who missed the streams. SO I GOTCHU

While it isnt 'easy', soul level one, and especially in the first game, actually isnt as hard as it sounds, the only hard part is being one or two-shot by a lot of things, he seems to have decided to handicap himself by not getting his axe upgraded to +5 before going to blighttown Also pyromancies in ds1 and 2 are extremely powerful

Thanks Rob!

To be fair, every souls game is as simple as just don't get hit. The hardest part is planning out the route, and knowing when to sequence things for achievements

I've played this game a ton of times and earned every achievement 3 times (now), and I never knew this. That's a great piece of info

@@morgansbasement Although now I'm having trouble finding that info, so I have so doubts if I may be misremembering Probably worth double checking

I'm glad the two of us executives can agree on this

If this one does well I will absolutely do Elden Ring Level 1!

The description of the achievement says "All rare weapons", so it makes sense to classify it that way haha

No lie I had a TON of fun with this one

That one is coming next haha. I was gunna scrap it so I started working on this. Then the E-Day trailer came out and I got fired up. That video will be next/maybe after outlast 1. But it will be 1 of the next 2 videos

​@@morgansbasement sick glad to see the content coming out

LETS RUN IT!

I never said I was a good editor, but I'll do my best to insert a Bruce Buffer phrase anywhere I can

TBH I swear way too much when I'm live streaming, and I just try to break up consecutive swears with bleeps every 5ish. It can help avoid the long arm of the youtube law. Some times it's for comedic effect, other times it's for getting too creative with my swears lol

@@morgansbasement I don’t think anyone could blame you for some “out of pocket swearing” during a challenge like this mate 😂

YOU MADE THE CUT!

That would take so long lol

They got heatseeking qualities, IDK what to say 😂

Hell yeah!

I thought you needed the lord vessel to get Kaathe to interact with you, but TBH it's been awhile so I don't remember

Welcome back, solider

@@morgansbasement never left, just been watching from afar I hate to keep routinely spreading my F.E.A.R. propaganda lol I hope you are doing well boss, good work especially with smough smh I hate that guy

@@tylermitchell3621 I started playing FEAR casually before I got sick, that game is so god damn hard. I need to do a full playthrough of that before I do permadeath on extreme. That could easily take a month to do lool. But I'm doing well! And I hope you're doing just as good!

@@morgansbasement abuse slow motion It makes everything so cool Fear Shotgun is also one of the best video games shotguns ever

That is fucking hilarious LOL

I might have to do a different challenge for DS2 lol. I already have all the achievements in both versions (This is my way of saying I'm scared of doing a no adaptability run in DS2)

@@morgansbasement ah, interesting

You might be on to something haha

LETS GO BIG DOG

It's the name of the game!

I like the way you think haha

Both of those slabs are farmable btw. The drop chances are low, but they can be farmed. To avoid having to wait for the 2nd blue and 2nd red slab, I just dashboarded and used the same slab, it's all in the livestream vod if you'd like to watch. I just wanted to pop the achievements in NG so I could use the clips in a rapid fire montage, but realistically, it only saved about 10 minutes of running to the slab locations in NG+

@@morgansbasement fair enough, I did my achievements on PTDE and just frampt-duped the slabs in NG, but had already used my Red Slab when I did that AND managed to mess up getting a second pyro flame from Eingyi too lol

I didn't even know you could dupe things with Frampt in PTDE. I think 100% in 2012, so I can't remember if that was something I knew about back then. But losing the slap like you just said would be brutal 😂. I feel for you

I come from achievement land, and I want to welcome you to my basement. Enjoy your stay 😂

They are not hard gtfo 😂. And I did kill some of them on stream, but it didn't make the video

You've never heard of this game?? I'm actually surprised haha. The controls are actually really tight, and the difficulty is in learning boss patterns and timing invincibility rolls. The only bit of artificial difficulty was doing it at level 1 haha. Also, the game is close to 15 years old, so that would explain the graphics. I highly recommend the souls/bloodborne/elden ring games. I think you'd like them a ton

You should play it man, it’s a master piece. Concerning the graphics, it’s a game that is a decade old…

@@lez9098 I haven't got time really, COD and Battlefield put out another masterpiece pretty much every year so I'm mainly playing those

@@hoagie911 If you play videogames in your free time then you have time lil bro

@@lez9098 why do you assume I'm a guy? And I don't have much free time anyway, I just put out my new album and I'm going on tour again.
