But why using one jointed npc and an invisible one instead of two separate npcs?

@@torquevonthorne948 collisions? its easier to animate a single object with a single skeleton than 2 interacting ones

@@emmanuelecontrerasdongo3997 I think there're also how animation would resolve, how the models would clip when out of sync, how Lothric would have to align with his brother's body for the animation to play smoothly. In the end it's just a hassle and not worth spending resource on, and seeing how the Twin Princes is already infamously hard even with 1 attack resolve at a time, imagine how horrifying they would be if you have to dodge Lorian's slashes and watch out for Lothric's Soul Spear at the same time. I think they made a right decision for this one lol.

@@torquevonthorne948 well they obviously tried that, but the way they implemented it in the final version is much more optimized.

@@peterwilliams3190 It's one model but with 'other' Lothric's hitbox active. The animation is almost in sync so they can just hide the other lothric model and keep just its hitbox and its animation.

I didn’t notice the gang sign he Deadass said🗡🗡🗡🗡🤪✌️💀

Its such a polite roast🤣

oh, dear... another dogged contender

'Mark my words, Ashen one, you remain amongst the accursed' is my favorite line in the series. Perfectly mirrors the theme of DS1 and DS3 and how regardless of what you do, the world won't be a better place.

I'm having Gravemind flashbacks "This not your grave, but you are welcomed in it. "

@@ch0s688 was just about to comment this 😂

underrated!

good fucking comment

From soft food

AYYY MEMESEEKER!!!

It always puts a smile on my face when Lothric gets the absolute shit beat out of him.

@@thecandlemaker1329 poor lothric he a gud boi

Lothric getting gunned down by the mafia

@@gizmohollow lmfao

1:34

i felt that

I accidentally did this with a flight once. I had to wait 2 hours because I was super early. I'm still dead inside.

I once accidentally said "You're welcome" instead of "thank you".

Y'know at some point that waitress is gonna eat a meal and when she does she's gonna know you wished her a good meal, so I see this as a win.

Absolutely stunlocked

I mean, my brother is also both the older and larger brother, and it makes sense for me to refer to him as such, because I'm 1,57m (5'2)'' and he's 2m (6'5")...

I've gotten a lot of comments from people who haven't played every game in the series but still watch the different videos, so I figured I should specify a physical characteristic to make it obvious which one was which for people who didn't already know.

Usually from books I've read they describe brothers and sisters in that regard, one being the younger "bolder" and another small and scrawny etc but we never really describe each other in person like that, mainly because we would feel like we are insulting each other

@@theonionsystem7779 I think in the case of books, it's to help us visualize the character. But such things usually aren't necessary in person, because we can see the differences for ourselves.

That's basically how he is canonically. He's definitely shorter, but when you pay attention, he's way closer to Lorian's height than you might first expect. Definitely more than I first noticed fighting them.

@@mastermarkus5307 now that i look, yea his features are fucking long he does have a considerably smaller frame compared to his brother though so he's lanky but not as wide

He's trying his best m8

@@OssaLuctus His arms and hands are especially long and that creeped me out the most. Especially since he has a pretty normal face; his body is just weird. Maybe it's the dragon experimenting stuff his dad did.

@@mastermarkus5307 I think it's meant to be the curse that got split between them. The whole "one 'lost' his body, the other his mind" thing.

Elden ring: allow me to introduce myself

To be fair it is a ton more work

perfect comment *Italian chef’s kiss*

@@candybetta4061 Depends on the engine, in Unreal it isn't but I don't think DS engine is even remotely close to being as polished

Most games have trouble making mounts. Bethesda made a train using a helmet and an npc.

I'm seeing double here - four Lothrics!

@@23Scadu is that a reference to would be four kings? Just go ahead now?

aye! Da 80's guy!

Triplets but only 2 of them are conjoined

Just go ahead now

I think the problem is that they would start to have severe bugs I mean we see it on some single mobs Another thing is that in this case lorian is dependant on lothric and making him seperate would mean that we can knock him off or kill him before the second phase

looks like it happened again with Radahn lol

It actually worked with the two bosses in dark souls, one at anor londo. I've been scratching my head on why they can't seem to make it work in the newer ones.

​@@Darien2016What, Ornstien and Smough?

@@AubergineMans yup them lol

That's software development in a nutshell, workarounds, smoke and mirrors, "we will fix it later", "I don't think anybody is going to try that.."

I would love to ride on Lorian (his back I mean)

"Man, that's a nice Lothric asset" "Stop objectifying my body"

Assigned tool at zulliethewitch

Just a hole sir

Probably removed it, given they wanted a two phase fight, and to make that feature work they'd have to buff up his health bar by ALOT since he usually dies way before being able to heal his homie anyways, and it'd be pretty taxing on the player at that point in the game (tho it is an end game boss, so maybe it was more for lore, cuz it'd be kinda weird if he had a bigger health bar then his larger and armored up friend)

At the start of development their fight was much closer to how throne defender and throne guardian were.

OwO

Bonk

@@laureloneiros1500 **notices u have an ember** OwO what's this?

@@DankbeastPaul rise if you wood 7w7

Ngl, they are kinda cute.

I can't be the only one who misread that as "sweet mountable goddess".

its only after seeing all this recent mount stuff that come up and seeing Elden Ring that makes even more sense why they give us a horse. they get to show off a separate mountable NPC at all times! unless of course its actually part of the player model at all times and the horse part is just hidden away. we shall see once people start cracking that bad boy open to sift through the content.

Melina piggybacking the Tarnished confirmed?

Will they also succeed in spawning things after the room is loaded?

@@TheIcyLinders It’s ok November has been rough on us all

Just a couple of dudes rocking. Nothing weird

Lorian and Lothric, chilling in their bedroom, 5 feet apart cuz they're not gay.

Guys beating dudes

@@EzPzLemnSqueezy 5 feet apart cause they're LITERAL BROTHERS

Couple a' dudes bein' guys

Like, music-wise? Agreed, though they were one of my favourite parts of the game from several angles too, namely lore.

@@mastermarkus5307 yea I absolutely loved everything about lothric and lorian

Lorian and Lothric are incredibly underrated by the entire community and it's a shame. Such a cool boss, their lore, their fight and their ost are absolutely awesome

Yeah, I love the harpsichord.

Yesss

You can probably get a steam key from a different website. Just not directly from steam

@@jonnyblade3234 you can, but they're like $160

If you know someone who has it you could maybe use their account to jank around on if it's ok with em

I love the DS comunity :D

We'll have to see once its out in pc to see if they're doing it properly yet. Still remember that prospect how theres gonna be million of npc below elden ring map lol

If Lothric had the speed of Orphan of Kos, I wonder how many players would shit themselves trying to handle his moves, lol. I love that DS3 has faster combat akin to Bloodborne, but there some bosses that I think are almost too fast for the game. Sister Friede being the main one with fighting a lot like Lady Maria.

@@SolaScientiaOceiros’ second phase comes into mind as well.

@@lethalethan07 Oceiros wasn't bad for me. He took me just 2 attempts. He's got moves similar to Vordt, Ludwig, and some other Soulsborne bosses that I'd fought before I got to him. The crystal breath is annoying, but he really wasn't too bad; definitely not too fast.

Probably marking a spot that negates any fall damage and it either sometimes doesn’t work or the person lands in the wrong spot. I’ve seen a couple instances in the Ringed City DLC where that first fall led to deaths cause they landed away from the circle they were meant to land ln

Yeah it happend to me, i landed right next to the circle on a tiny piece of wood

Exactly.

Those rolling boulders make no sense, they shouldn't return to the original position

@@yuturtuyieie5544 It's seemed to me that there's a specific spot that triggers that rotation when the player moves through it. Just from listening to the sound cues. It'd be easier to accept if there was a visible pressure plate that could be avoided, like with the dart traps.

Pretty sure one of the Sen (snake men) rotate the position of the lever depending on if the player runs through a certain area. I could be wrong

@@jalcomics I'm pretty sure I managed to run up fast enough once and the lever just rotates itself

Apparently, the direction of the boulders change when you step on certain dart trap pressure pads.

Lorian knows Lothric can't hide a sword on his person. He _knows_ .

"My brother, unyielding sword of Lothric's Prince... _Rise, if you would..."_

@@mrwizard5012 "Ehm... have you noticed only his d*ck is rising?" "I know what i'm doing Ashen one"

Yep, it has. It's good that the algorithm seems to be suggesting Zullie's work even though the videos are short. I'm sure each one requires a ton of work though to put in the research as well as the editing. It's impressive how frequent they are!

@@porkstamina The algorithm loves short videos now.

@@Candlemancer Yeah that tracks, given that they're pushing Shorts so much.

Hey potato did you really think you would get answered? Is that the case? Lmao beat it boy

Technically this one isn't cut or unused lol.

@@exu7325 yeah but, you know we don't see it and i don't think it was known before zullie found it. you are right tho xd

Yes

Lothric amiibo when

I prefer Tyrannicon's name for them, 'the cheating Emo's'. God I hated that teleporting git and his crippled dishrag of a brother

There are plenty of much more high-class examples of incest; see most royalty through most of human history. Though it was usually of the "pure bloodline" type than the " _REALLY_ take care of your brother" type.

@@mastermarkus5307 True, not so much between brothers though, the whole gay thing didn't fly too well with the church
