Honestly it seems to me that Fromsoft really wants to make like, viable ways to use consumables in combat in their games but (maybe with sekiro as an exception) it seems they're also terrified of making them anywhere near good because they're worried about how to balance them. Bows felt very similar in the base game too, as well as pots etc.

Now we need someone to mod a Mario model into the game and do a fire spritesone only run.

Im still upset that the dragon communion harpoon is a consumable and not a throwable weapon

Using innard meat on an opponent, makes dogs and other beast attack that enemy that you threw the meat at

The harpoons made an excellent addition to my sailor build

I've been loving the harpoons in the colosseum! With a strength build they do excellent damage and come out pretty fast. They headshot very frequently, especially against casters during certain casting animations. Great for safely punishing large AOE attacks like Messmer's Orb and Golden Crux.

Personally i love Mohgs shackle from the base game and i have it constantly slotted. 1. You can find illusory walls in a good range. 2. You can activate/deactivate the flame throwing pillars in the base game dungeons. 3. The thing where you can change mohg (probably? i never used the item for the intende way) 4. New in the dlc for the sealed spirit springs i just go where the jump point is and use it and it unlocks it (for some reason in a huge area) 5. Also new in the dlc if you are near one of the pots with the bell bearings instead of shooting them down you can use the shackle and the bell bearing will drop. so no aim and shooting needed! 6. ???

i think that these highlight a sort of fundamental flaw with the ER consumables that will never allow them out of meme tier in regards to damage or utility. the best possible use case i can think of for a craftable magic item is a ranged / elemental damage option for str or dex builds without access to spellcasting, basically the same niche as grease or pots. but linking the scaling to the relevant elemental stat means tying their most effective builds to characters that already have access to those abilities. they should either be flat damage or scale with the melee stats.

Horned Bairn one shot me with only 2 projectiles when I was fighting against the npc.

Call of Tibia is so fun to mess around with, still wish we got to summon that giant death laser skeleton but spinny skele is also good

The spritestone is actually CRAZY in pvp. Youll shoot it at a guy and after a few seconds they just tend to… forget it? And with good leveling it does a considerable amount of damage. What i do is throw it, do a little bit of damage to them, and when their guard is down, boom

The Harpoons+Communion Grease is a must against Bayle.

The dragon communion harpoons would actually be one of the first genuinely viable consumable attacks if we could just hold a few more at a time. Even just 10, then they would hold a solid place as a great ranged option for when you're too busy two-handed your bonk stick to carry a seal. As is they're usable, but the limit of 5 just really hinders their use

I was so surprised and happy when I tested the ranah perfume because I really didn't expect it to actually do decent damage.

5:43 Live Skeleton reaction

The Dragon Communion Harpoon is really cool. Shame it's not a throwing spear with the Dragon Grease buff.

Youwy: “sorry if this felt like a useless/filler type video” Also Youwy: makes a tier list on the best bushes/grass

Fire spritestone makes me wonder what it'd be like if Messmer fire spells and such were int/fth/arc. Like an evil twist on the golden order.

I'm so glad you cover all this stuff. I'd never get around to trying 90% of the stuff you give us reviews for. You literally extend the value I get from the DLC (and base game)

Something to take in mind for PvP is that the best ones are: the fire coil sice you can throw them at the side then lock on amd your opponent will have to deal with a projectile they cannot see. The perfumed oil of ranah since it is a lingering hitbox its almost guaranteed to finish any opponent after a backstab or riposte.

you forgot the lulling branch probably the best item for mages! you get fp regain at the cost of sleep build up, can just pop a Stimulating Boluses when near full to stop it, they stack with starlight shards so finally got a good fp booster for when i don't want to hit a grace and reset bad guys! ah i see damaging based lol

The Horned Bairn works well as an alarm system when there’s an invader sneaking around

Another banger. Looking forward to the tier list for all of the DLC tier lists you’ve done! A tier list tier list if you will.

I was actually doing a faux sorcery run, were I only use consumables/tools/ ashes that cost FP to fight but no sorcery or incantations. These will help out a lot

The spritestone is really good in pvp. Slow, long lasting spells are nice for keeping up the pressure. That and this item has a strong knockback and large radius upon detonation.

They should've made the dragon communion harpoon an ash of war

I'd argue fire coil is easily above the harpoon. S scaling in one stat, much easier to craft and not finite, great damage and tracking, can have 10 of them instead of the 5 harpoon, and you can use it on something other than dragoon without feeling like you're wasting.

I have a lich ghostflame build (int/faith) and call of tibia catches so many people off guard in arena. Best to unlock your camera and throw it right underneath you to garentee 2-3 hits, or to get some room for spells.

Been waiting for a dlc TOOL video since 2 weeks now, Thanks bro !!!!!

What the hell. The one good tool here is the single solitary item I somehow did not pick up on an entire run of the DLC. I knew that goddamn island had to have something on it.

I've really been impressed by fire coil on my faith build. The speed and tracking are really good and it can hit pretty hard. Easy to farm and it's pretty good in PVP as a way to bother someone or deny them a flask.

I wish the fire spritestone was also available as an incantation. It’s a fun projectile.

Oil of Ranah paired with Flame of the redmane is a great combo to wafting sweeps of flame, clears enemies quick in large waves and is a fun trick to pull in pvp.

Youwy, you are my number one consumable. 🤪

i actually like videos like these because im never going to use any of these its nice to see what they actually do and how they might perform in a practical context. i think the only one of these i actually knew about was the dragon harpoons.

Hey Youwy have you ever thought that most of these unusable skills and items are just a testing ground for data for maybe a future software games just to collect data on how people use them cause am sure it pretty simple to increase damage in any given patch. Maybe it’s just data for future mechanics for a later game that they can adjust the things on.

It's such a shame that Miyazaki made this whole new weird magic archetypes (White Lightning from Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword, Putrescence Cleaver blue flame, Sword of Night), yet there is no consumables about them. Like, we already have several different bairn consumables in the base game already. What's the point of adding yet another one? They could have just made Horned Bairn a bit more blue, call it Putrescence Bairn or whatever, and make it have frostbite buildup. Which is at least somewhat useful since Frostbite is a bit rarer for incantation builds. Hell, why not make it scale with Arcane so that it would synergize with Putrescence Cleaver. Idk it needs something Instead it's so awkward right now, and its sole purpose is to roll catch in PvP. Which is fine but, you know, not as thematically cool.

Didn't feel like a filler video so no need to apologize. It was interesting, short video 👍

kidney stone of frenzy is goated for its lore text

fire coil cast into fire serpent has been pretty damn good for me in colosseum. people panic roll them so much and almost always get hit by either one of those

Smart covering consumables now. No one else is doing it, it's a smaller list than weapons, and like you said balance changes are coming.

Wonder if you can proc the summon boost on death talisman with the tibia summon item.

I used this to check out the animations and what the attacks actually look like on the tools lol

i love these videos, didnt feel like filler, very useful knowledge, I have most of the tools but not the perfumed oil of ranah, I wanted to find it but not any more, I'm int/faith with 12 dex only, not worth

Tibias Summons has 1 great use. When an enemy is on a high ledge and you can't quite hit them with spells/incantations, tibia summons will hit them every time. Especially useful in dungeons. It's not for using against moving enemies.

Just a heads up, items like the perfumed oil of Ranah will not carry over in NG+ I lost mine when I went into NG+3. I got the Oil and perfume weapons and wanted to do a perfumer build in NG+3 That was the only item I noticed that was missing. Aside from the obvious stuff like great runes etc.

thanks for this. i actually wanted to ask you to make a ranking for the tools cause i didnt want to use materials myself to see if they were good. now i know that ill never use them 👍

Didn't know fire oil of ranh existed. I need to get it now fr

Didn't know about few of these things thanks definitely got my sub

perfumed oil of ranah is so fun to use for no reason

I can sense an all dlc grippers ranking coming soon

It’d be cool if the innard meat would stick to enemies if poisoned with the tooth whip. It could slowly transform the enemy into one of those flesh pot guys. Or transform Marika into one in the ending bc she’s a shaman or whatever lol

The problem that i have with a lot of these consumables is that most of them are hard to farm and you can carry many. Every time i got a new crafting consumable i knew i wont use them because what is needed to farm for it.

In the colosseum a lot of these items are soo good.

Glinting nail have that bloodborne black sky eye animation though.

Glinting nail is good for keeping poise down on bosses, as long as it does poise damage

omg i just googled about DLC tools and couldnt find any info....you are the best Youwy! #1 tool is exactly what i need for my DEX build!

you should make a video that ranks all the number 1’s from dlc in comparison to the main game

This video definitely didn't feel like filler. All of these tools are super interesting

You forgot the most importany upside of the tibia summons: he Can SPEEEEEN

These are definitely just better for PvP. Like the Glinting Nail is perfect for those moments you need to pressure someone but you’re a strength build

Fire coil after watching the Aggy run is kinda nutty. The amazing tracking and scaling is stupid

That bondstone combo should be used on your quick tool menu.

Oil of ranah is goated for reseting frostbite without sacrificing other attacks like spells and ashes

The Glinting nail is for stone enemies more than anything

Sprites tone is Hella fun in pvp because people think it's friendly till I detonate it it does amazing damage and lasts surprising decent time and stealth is funny with it

Crazy how Hornsent 1 shots a 20 scadu max level character with the Horned Bairne but that same character with the braided item barely cracks like 1k damage.

Imo the biggest fumble with most of these tools is that they scale with faith/int that mean you should already have better options... Imo all of them should scale with either dex/str or arc

Finally ! Someone made a video on tools !! So underrated

You can just buy an unlimited amount of the dragon Communion Harpoon if you finish Igons questline where he will give you his bellbearing. You don't even need to farm for it.

I have nothing valuable to add because I was so early

Last time i fought scadutree avatar i literally beat him with only the dancers oil of ranah. That shit shredded him

I did a bit of a dancing build(Dancer set, dancing blades, curseblade cirques), and this thing was fitting thematically and I decided to give it a go. Was surprised that it's an ACTUALLY DAMN GREAT complementary tool to a melee dex build. Given the things we have in vanilla - like fucking ancestral head - I didn't expect that some of the tools would be actually good - but here we are, we have an actually good tool now!

They wanted to use Dark Souls 2 consumables on a DLC that demands maxed equipment , of course barely anyone would use them unless for niche usage

spritestones should have just been like little traps you can lay on the ground and set off with the bondstone. imagine how fun that would be in invasions, and it would add a new tool for stealth characters to use.

I wonder if these low-damage projectiles are even intended for boss fights. They're very useful for kiting enemies from range or peeling them off from a large group.

Considering for how much damage the Horned Bairn nukes you when used by Hornsent, this is really disappointing

I think innard meat maybe has some niche uses, like maybe it lures the beasts or something. (Yeah, i know there is a Beastlure pot for that, but still.)

found some decent use with the perfume. If anything, its like a discount Flame of the Redmanes lol

That oil is amazing for my frost build! For the frost reset 🙂

You forgot to include Roundrock. You can hold like 999 of them and they do pretty good damage on a strength build.

Bro sprite stone is fun to use in PvP like its C4 like and you can decide when to to detonate when ever during its flight

Where Roundrock? Can hold 999 @ 80 STR does 500+ damage per rock and 1000+ in the DLC with 20 Scudas.

there's something hilarious about throwing meat at someone and it being ranked higher than the frenzy flame.

the perfume is an amazing way to quickly remove frostbite from enemies

Spritestone is an easy S-tier in PvP. Mix it in with other projectiles or some melee pressure, and it works really well. I haven't experimented with its damage yet, so if someone has, let me know if it can actually be a viable damage option.

The Bondstone is perfect for pvp, but i get that the list isn't made for that

I feel the perfume of ranah should just be a fire giant incant

The scaling is all over the place in the dlc, the perfume of ranah scaling off dex is so bizarre.

Do one for the base game please! Thank you. Love your videos

Can we get a "all seal" tier list especially with the scaling changes it would be interesting

I’m honestly really sad we didn’t get a warhorn tool

I think you meant to say "Consumable" not "Finite". Finite implies that there are only so many in the game, where as consumable means that you can equip a set amount and then restock.

Fire coils are really good in pvp

Augur of Ebrietas mogs all of these 🗿

I have 21 FP, what should I use it on? The new Horned Bairn tool that does a few hundred damage? Or night comet that hits like a truck and even Malenia can't dodge? Wow, tough choice indeed.

youwy, you're the best! keep up with the videos, I sure wanna see you ranking the other new tools like golden vow, etc

@Youwy thanks for going back to not using DLC bosses. It’s the reason me and several others feel comfortable watching your content without seeing the final bosses

They should straight up just buff all tools damage by 100% and make getting them infinite. Other than that, I don't mind them because they're good way to explain lore

What are those new consumable blades you throw into the air they spin and then track the target.Been seeing them in pvp
