Sorry it's been so damn long since the last video. I had some horrid luck with my room flooding in thunderstorms two separate times over christmas and new years, and spent a pretty big chunk of the new year clearing that out. So, I didn't even get to start run until about the third week of January. Anyways, hope you like it. Be nice if you do, be mean if you don't...To someone else I mean. Not me. Only be nice to me. I'm precious.😁

quick tip for people not choosing master key for whatever reason: you never need to do blight town from the depths, if you run from the parish bonfire through dark root basin, past the grass crest shield and through valley of drakes. from there you can always get into the "back entry" of blight town, pick up the new londo key and open the shortcut to firelink shrine

Me reading the title: Oh Cleric? That’s my favourite build, easy “Without Estus” Oh, oh that changes things

16:54 Technically, everything is a blind spot for Seath

Okay, I'm a minute in, and I'm subscribed. You gave Gough his respect, because nothing that we do against that AOE machine of "fuck you and the controller you rode in on" can compare to a blind dude that hasn't moved enough to shake the sawdust off in 150 years hit center range at a mile's distance with the first shot.

The heal miracle is a great supplement for casual buils. With 12 faith and 1 attunement slots you can basically double your healing capacity early game without needing humanity. The thorulund talisman is perfect for this setup

The abysstraversing ring is called the covenant of Artorias not the crest of Artorias (damn reading that comment back I sound so toxic, wasn’t meant like that 😭)

Loved it, keep up, your narration style is awesome, I would dare say it makes you quite the charming fellow

I loved this entire playthrough man, that was awesome. And respect for not using Estus.

16:22 was such a multilayered joke, that's comedy right there!

You've earned another subscriber and deserve more. Great video and narration. So sorry to hear about the flooding you had to deal with. Welcome back to posting content

Me reading the title: Ah, so like my first DS2 run. Me seeing the rules: oh no.

how hard is it to play dark souls as a cleric? Me: easy, I always roll cleric in any souls game since 2009 demon's souls. Title: Without Estus Me: o_0

You got pretty good near the end of the video, i guess this playtrough was like a massive recovery

9:26 well you CAN actually go the short way down to the bottom of Blight Town without the Master Key, no Dept required. just run from Andre past the Titanit Demon, down to the Hydra, into the Elevator Shaft near the Dark Knight, down into the Valley of Drakes, past The Zombie Dragon, and into Blight Town that way, sure it takes a bit longer then if you had the Master Key, at list Progression Wise, but it is FARE from being Hard, or even Impossible, it is not even a long trip compared to the Dept Entrance. through i would still recommend people playing through the long way, just fore the Loot along the way through.

I really enjoyed your video, new subscriber 🥰 Good to know that your room is no longer flooded ❤️

No estus makes this brutal, even if i expect the mace will hold its own the whole game

I chose Cleric once, I was going for an SL16 WoG Darkmoon Build. I'd use a dried finger and blue eye orb to hunt down dark wraith twinks in undead burg, they NEVER expect the WoG at such a low level, I got so much hate mail it was DE-LICIOUS 😂

this video is amazing, new sub!

Great vid as always :)

I played cleric mostly as kind of an easy mode. You have additional healing and there are some really good offensive miracles, so you have magic for attack and defense. Also you can really use divine weapons with scaling to make the Catacombs and Tomb of the Giants easy.

That was quite a challenge

Great video!

yaaaynew vid!!!!

Wanderer with curved swords & curved greatswords only Not a hard run but a good run

And that's how the cleric beast was made

Are you a cleric or something?

Try the hunter out I think it would be an interesting play through

9:38 no you don’t need a master key for that you can go through the dark route basen to get to blight town

10:26 I killed that spider with +0 handaxe and it is the easiest boss to straif so just get 1 or 2 hits on backend than wait for lava vomitting attack , rince and repeat for 20 or 30 minutes

Unga bunga

I beat all dark souls as an archer always has been my go too

Gargoyle halberd is an amazing divine weapon, just an fyi

But why don't use other miracles? Great healing, barrier, God's wrath?

The mace actually has absurd strength scaling, I've used it myself. Were you not levelling strength much early game? because that damage should definitely be higher lol

You could have done the patches quest line first so you had miracles to play with throughout the game instead of just heal and mace..

good vid,wanna a tip?,put some music in the background,only voice over SILENCE gets really boring,and also,don't spam the same music,use different ones in a single video

Maces are really good in this game you guys. I just finished a demon's great hammer run and despite being slow and extremely heavy the game felt like easy mode.
