Scott sounds so different in his ER vids like he doesnt despise his life.

You got a review copy!? Congrats, Scott! That must feel great to be recognized with that honor. As a DBD player I’m looking forward to following your Elden Ring arc this time around 🎉

the part im most excited about for this dlc is getting to watch your souls content again

Hearing you say how hard the final boss is makes me worried for my NG+4 character going in. Oh boy.

I don't want any spoilers but it's honestly really cool they gave you a copy to review it

Holy shit that final boss is gonna be brutal

This is the best review out there That bit about the final boss is HYPE

I only hope the final boss will be difficult for the right reasons. That one-shot thing you mentioned is terrifying.

Thank you for keeping it as spoiler free as possible. I actually cannot wait for this

So happy for you getting a review copy, no shame in diving in ASAP, I definitely would have done the same, you deserve it for being such a devoted member of the souls community.

Making the "mini sequel" to Elden Ring as a big, and relatively expensive, DLC is a pretty good idea. The devs can reuse the same engine as is, while concentrating on just making new content. Also, who's ready for 18 inches of Messmer??/

my god i’m excited for that final boss

Holy shit you made this dlc sound absolutely amazing and while I tried and somewhat failed to only listen to avoid most of the spoilers what I did see looks awesome, I can’t wait to see your play through of this as soon as I’m done playing mine

thanks for the great video Scott! hopefully look forward to a return to your Narrated Thought Duels & Invasions

I love a Spoiler review that is also free! Thanks for not making me have to pay Scottland!

Ok im freaking scared now

Having played the dlc now, I love the way he weaves little hints into the review that cant be considered spoilers but are still noticeable to people who know what he means

Im not mad I would've done the same thing Scott 😂😂😂 real glad you got a review copy, that's hype man

Invisibility backsteb frames ? I wonder if that works with the estoc backdash and the curved sword backflip

thank you to scott for taking a break from his regularly scheduled content to play some ER for us fans lol

Great to hear you liked it. Could you please upload a full playthrough here on youtube when it's released and you're allowed to?

Yo Ive been debating keeping Melina alive for DLC cause I wasn't sure if she would make an appearance. Do u have any info on if it is worth keeping her alive and not going to Farum Azula?

Im really glad to hear this is some blood & wine level pf content amount!! Its like 50 bucks so it makes the purchase feel better!

It’s so overwhelming it’s going to take three playthrough a to process everything. Super lore heavy and the atmosphere is way different I love it

hm, i'll have to see if that attack you mentioned that was the best ever in a videogame is true, cause the attack from xemnas in kh2 with the lasers was the best imo

That armor looks awesome, can't wait to get it

Alright, now on the question at hand. Can a DLC win game of the year?

So what sort of ~yay~ed up swamp did they add to the DLC?

What I love seeing in the dlc is all the new cool weapons and spells. :) What I hate seeing in the dlc is that which makes me imagine the nightmare of balancing all that for PvP. It’s impossible. :( Like it looks to me that spacing and timing attacks is just . . . Gone. So many of the weapons can attack infinitely from range or melee, and have an insane reach.

3:19 Wouldn't that PVP oriented spell be Myriam's Vanishing at 1:57 ? I never even finished the main game (stopped after Liurna when I found myself lost in that underground labyrinth with spiders) and I should, for sure, but I don't remember anyone in the base game using that spell.

Great review Scott. What is this red cloak armor in the video? Thanks.

damnnohtml my beloved

How do u compare the last boss to any soulslike games?

Do ng+ builds affect the difficulty, or can I hop in with any build with the same difficulty?

Damn I really want to fight the pre nerf final boss but I don’t want to rush through the game. It took me months to beat Elden ring because I was exploring so much

I’ve been struggling to enjoy the vanilla game so hopefully this gives me some motivation.

Seeing in this video that the giant walking brazier is just a regular enemy and not a boss is INSANE!

I want that dragon's head!

Awesome, nice to see some souls content from you! Will you be uploading your first playthrough to KZfaq?

From what I found, this expansion is as big as what most people thought Elden Ring was going to be.

For reference how many tries did bosses like mohg and melania take you on first playthrough? I'm trying to prepare how much ibuprofen to buy. 😤

Speaking of putrescence, I picked up the putrescence cleaver and it says that arcane increases it’s power, but I’m unsure if that just refers to the scaling or something more. 10/10 would recommend it😊

Weeping Peninsula has always been part of Limgrave.

(3:59) if that spell (third down on left) is what i think it is then good genizah commit azure will have a great back up damage

you're making me want to get back into elden ring and do this dlc man

So whos stronger between Gael, Nameless king and the final boss of the dlc

Hello Scott, as a player, does it make sense to begin a full new play thru or to continue with a previous character? For context i have a level 200 char that i beat all bosses with and have most of the stuff in the game. Basically, does the DLC affect the experience of the game before you "get" to the DLC? Are there new weapons spells incants etc that pop up before the DLC or nah?

wait so is final boss actually good? Are we actually seeing the real final boss from the leaks?

Did you at least record your play through so we can see it?

No comment about the pvp/multiplayer? Did anything change here?

this makes my so hype

mister jund are you allowed to share where to go to access the dlc

This is sick, congrats on the review copy! Did you stay 150 for the entire playthrough? Trying to get a gauge on what level to walk in on

Long and hard didst thou wait, tarnished warrior.

Cons : Final boss might actually be too hard...LESGOOOOOOOOOOOO

Is there any trophies?

Eveb though its my favkrite game of all time i havent been feeling the hype, soni actually havent been spoiled by anything. Other than a few b roll of awesome karate shit and perfume as weapon thats all ive seen. But im the hype is beginning. Can someone let us know what level we need to be, i have one character in new game plus around crumbling azul and a new charavter around 80 thats just got to mohg palace edit pardon the typos

ARE THERE ANY NEW BLACK FLAME INCANTATIONS???

i only have one save on pc and that's my rune lvl 1 character. safe to say that this dlc is gonna take a long time for me to complete.

No fucking way. June 20th needs to come faster!!!

Wtf I couldn’t find this video of you, I saw your tweet about rating the DLC as a masterpiece. But when I looked through your channel I couldn’t find it?? It just showed up for me

I’m positive the weapons will be “fixed” with the day one patch they are having. Probably kept the dmg and actual values so low for spoilers

Ok I’m hyped

The difference between DbD Scott and ER Scott is insane. He sounds so full of life

Me getting ready to struggle with the final boss of the DLC because I'm gonna refuse to change my "big sword" playstyle

Oh my god I can't wait for the last boss to make me incredibly mad.

I think the "big reveal about an important character" everybody is mentioning will be that Melina is the Gloam-Eyed Queen, and the Gloam-Eyed Queen will be the final boss. But idk how they would make that work because of the differences whether or not you inherited the Frenzied Flame. Maybe she would have unique dialogue in the fight like Maliketh does? Still not really sure. Whoever the boss is, I can’t wait

imo, the Final boss only really has 1 truly bullshit attack and that's the double spiral he does after the pull in phase 2. The phase 1 version is possibly dodgeable by jumping out of it but the phase 2 one I cannot conceivable dodge. Where as every other attack he does I've dodged successfully and might be able to master for some. The after effects also aren't as bad as people say. It just makes the attacks more about dodging the area of the hit more than the hit itself. My main gripe with the fight are the optional extenders he has for two of his attacks, but i think his posture might be a clue for whether or not the attack is over or not

The only review that matters

7:43 Nice ;) I wonder who the extremely tedious boss you were referencing is...

I actually like the gank fight you said was bad, reason being: SPOILER I got Ainbach to help me and summoned mimic tear, it felt like a gang fight and was really epic to see all the characters clashing.

Having 11 scadutree fragments at the final boss is WAYYY too low. I applaud you for beat it at all, summons regardless at that level. I did at at 19 blessings and felt that the damage he did was appropriate.

Stop my heart can only take so much hype

I miss when this channel was more than a billboard for DBD

1:58 We uh, we just ignoring that for now? THAT WAS FUCKING SICK, WHAT?

So if you sad "final boss" and not just Messmer, does it mean we will fight Miquella?

now's as good a time as any to get back into this game i suppose

What the hell is this final boss?

Would you say the final boss is the hardest wall you have ever hit in a soulsborne game?

Name of armor?

I don’t understand, how do you guys make the last boss so hard? It only took me 6 tries. They have no poise just bonk them.

Bayle felt like fighting king ghidorah

Give it time, people will be more honest about the dlc and im not talking about difficulty. The dlc has serious flaws like - completely empty exploration - loot that's useless (smithing stones everywhere but I CAN JUST BUY THEM) -repeat enemies and bosses (theres like a few enemies that you fight over and over and over again. Gets old) - no way to keep track of tree fragments and theres no extra ones so good luck backtracking just to be able to fairly beat a boss!!

What cloak are you wearing?

“Like radahn did” LOL

FUCK I HAVE WORK THE DAY IT COMES OUT

How long would you say the average first play through is?

I dunno if i wanna pay 40$ for this scott, i mean i do play these games and i love em, i have barely 500 hours into the base game and im always playing fortnite, sometimes i return to Elden ring to help ppl beat Malenia or Maliketh and thats really it, really appreciate the review

i'm hyped as hell for this i hope it doesn't rob too much of my time from DbD (i still have to stockpile cobblers)

teleport spell teleport spell

Maybe Fromsoftware looked at Kingdom Hearts in terms of last superboss. It's about time !

Considering it's the last ER boss we will ever get. I'm perfectly fine with it being too hard. Gives the level 300+ chars a challenge.

The smaller size and density aspect is what is making me hope this dlc is going to fix a lot of the problems Elden Ring initially had with its open world and side content, which felt bloated and eventually stagnant. I’ve always thought Elden Ring would be better if most of the side content was just removed, and the game overall was smaller to just alleviate the stress and pressure/ existence of a lot of the that meandering consistent copy and paste.

A GHOSTFLAME DRAGON

This dlc is like Iceborne size my god

Holy shit, harder boss than malenia

"like Radahn did" 😑 don't tell me

I need to experience that boss before they nerf it. I will beat only my trusty broadsword.

If I have 80% damage reduction, and I increase it by 5%, I don’t take 5% less damage, but 25% less.

Idk why they make this so hard without an other option, some of us aren’t good at games and just wanna enjoy the world and lore
