you know in retrospect that name choice is mmmmh questionable

26:15 Kill Frampt? is this DS1?

Ds3 has 2 mists spells that don’t get breathed out they are pestilent mist and another I can’t remember because I haven’t played in about a year

@@Edelgard-and-Claude-simp Pestilent Mist isn't a poison spell. It's just a cloud with a damage AoE.

@@ThatRipOff still technically is a mist and all the other breaths spells/pyromances/miracles are a mist and also they do basically the same thing just the other leave a lingering effect that’s not that good tbh whilst pestilent mist does ungodly damage dependent on what your fighting (pestilent mist gets stronger the larger the hp pool why I use it when I fight midir because Jesus lord is he easy to destroy with pestilent mist)

@@bayardkyyako7427 “It’s basically like poison except completely different.”

@@bayardkyyako7427 not a jackass, just a fair disagreement.

Thank you brother

Yeah, elana surely looks like she could down about 5 bottles of whiskey without breaking a sweat

@@peacfl9610 I mean, if you think about it madness is basically just like that one drunk uncle we all have. And after eating so many "grapes" you could only imagine how "drunk" she would be.

Does this mean Gavlan is immune? Hmm...

@@TheTFPChannel Have you ever seen Gavlan stop drinking? Poor guy wants a buzz so bad but just can't get one.

What's batfog

@@bongosmcdongos4190 This is just a guess, but I'd assume the bat staff originally *did* have poison scaling? Making it so the fog spells would fill up the meter very quickly. I know bat staff has poison as a secondary effect of smacking things, so it would make sense. Totally a guess though, first I've heard of BatFog.

@@lizard1255 BatFog was insta proc, they TOUCHED the mist they were poisoned/toxic'd

@@bongosmcdongos4190 When the game first came out the Bat Staff would apply its poison damage to every tick of Dark Fog, resulting in near instant poison against almost everything. It was super broken in PVP because it set up a no-win situation. Either you just tank the poison and say goodbye to half your health bar or you eat moss and take a Climax to the face.

What game version is that, l wanna try that so l do poison run in a more casual way

Yes and No It's True BUT if you have a soul memory (on NG) of 1.000.000 the door will open (I wasn't sure the first Time I Saw it BUT it happen to my game)

@@t_drnl the door to the winter shrine bloxking the castle will open, but aldia himself doesnt spawn for the first time unless you've beaten all four of the lords, and you cant fight him unless youve spoken to him all three times

@@michaelgood3666 Haaaaaa you speak of the boss fight my Bad

Bold of you to assume he didn't!

I'm honestly surprised he didn't call this run toxic. I'll see myself out.

Garlic is the best Damage.

@@Kyle_00 As a coffee addict, I sadly feel that way too much lmao

@@thatoneweirdbish6364 Used to have the same issue but swishing around water in your mouth after drinking coffee helps a ton. Neutralizes a lot of the acid that's in it.

I loved Death's Gambit, and it is still a good game, but the Afterlife re-release was incredibly disappointing. It was completely broken on release and constantly crashed and corrupted saves, felt unfinished in both gameplay and plot - sometimes even more unfinished than the original - and downgraded a lot from the original in certain areas. Most of the level design and bosses weren't at all adjusted for the newly included airdash and double jump (all unlocked practically at the start) trivialising a bunch of content that was originally really good; Origa and her section of the game really suffered from this. A lot of level redesigns like Journey's End and Observatory missed the mark, and the expanded parts of stuff like Garde Tum were okay but ruined a lot of the mystique and atmosphere for yet more basic predictable story additions. The original ending of the game was great, really somber and melancholy, fitting with the original's atmosphere, and then they literally pulled a "lol it was all a dream" and ruined the entire plot of the game so they could do a generic marvel-tier last act, retcon and revive characters who worked far better as villains, fill the game with unfitting comedy and light-heartedness, quote a dead meme, and awkwardly end the game on a cliffhanger for DLC that never came to console. Not even to mention the new shadow-the-hedgehog edgelord evil brother villain in Ash, who is built up throughout the entire game, and all he ends up doing throughout the entire game is standing in his idle animation in cutscenes. You fight him in the DLC I think, but it's still inexcusable that he was left out. A lot of the potential the original game had with antagonists and elements like Thalamus, his sheer eldritch alienness and incredibly unique aesthetics and powers, sanity mechanics and all the subtle alluding to him and build-up by characters like Amulvaro were completely squandered in Afterlife. Thalamus became an incredibly generic evil god, whose plan ended up becoming "mwuhaha I will kill everyone and then come to the real world and kill you player *pantomime laughter*" in the most forced, cringe 4th wall breaks I've seen in a game, and had literally nothing more to him besides this. At least the Avatar of Thalamus boss was pretty good. But it was a very simple fight mechanically, and a huge missed opportunity for the unique fight mechanics that Death's Gambit loves so much, especially given how incredible the Yl'Noth section and Thalamus within it were. Death, too, had one of the most underwhelming boss fights and content in Thalamus' ending for how great he was built up pre-Afterlife. When I beat him and got the ending I was actually angry. Instead of trying to fill in the original game's blanks and truly improve it, they wasted loads of potential and valuable development time on stuff like the kobolds who seemed to be their attempt at popular mascot characters, Ash who wasn't needed at all, the forced (and later in the game obsolete) metroidvania upgrades, the generic downgrades made to the story, retooling parts of the game that were fine and ignoring parts that weren't, etc. It's not like there weren't good things about Afterlife. Lots of little mechanical improvements, some of the new bosses/reworked bosses like Xyarlahotep, (or however you spell it) Grey Wanderer and reworked Endless/Cusith were cool, the new levels were pretty decent, Amulvaro was kept the same which was great, and I came away from the game with mostly positive feelings. But I adored the original, because even if it was imperfect and unfinished, it was fun, interesting, and had potential and soul put into it. Afterlife felt like a different team entirely worked on it.

@@altarf2582 "... was incredibly disappointing." "I came away from the game with mostly positive feelings." I do like how in-depth you went, but holy crap bro, none of that had ANYTHING to do with the original comment you replied to- and could have been left at two sentences. Take the first sentence, and add a second one that says "But overall, I enjoyed it despite the flaws." Not trying to be the kind of person that disses someone for going too far into detail, but like... it feels like you went overboard. Still, good to know that you've got strong opinions on the matter, even if they're contradictory.

@@Malkontent1003 You misunderstood me. I came away feeling positive at first but in hindsight I have soured on it quite considerably. Nothing contradictory about that

@@altarf2582 Yeah, except that you didn't say that at all, nor did you imply that you've done so since. Also, disregarding that, my other points still stand- way too much detail, for something that was essentially "I agree bro."

@@Malkontent1003 155.17.268.34.1 Jk lol but I am (or was) very passionate towards the game. And since it's extremely underknown, I was going to recommend it when I saw this comment - however, then I remembered Afterlife, and then suddenly the Spirit of Disappointment Past invaded my body and everything went black. I just sort of posted the comment when I was finished typing my problems with Afterlife and forgot about it dude, the comment was at like 2 likes and the video was a few days old at the time so I didn't think many would see it. I don't really see how an exhaustive dress-down of all of the Afterlife update's flaws and downgrades is all negated by me saying I didn't absolutely hate it immediately after finishing it, but if it seemed that way I apologise. I was eagerly waiting for the DLC for like 3-4 years so naturally I was hyped, and that hype slowly ran sour as I played through Afterlife and got my save corrupted like three times. Then went negative in the Afterlife endgame portion, and then turned to outright dislike when they couldn't be bothered to bring the second DLC to console. Lemon might like it without that context but to me it's irredeemable :/

It's like Christmas II!

Same here

Same, I quote it all the time

Thank you for the info

does his duplication also count as a spell?

@@tacofitness1876 no, but if you time it right you can hit both clones while theyre still unable to do anything in the recovery animation of the mitosis

@@NothingYouHaventReadBefore unfortunately not I'm just kinda depressed

...I'll admit that until halfway through when you said Nahr Alma, I thought you were a bot posting about sports...

You can also just kill Tichy Gren and then buy the robes from Melentia

@@Onionbr0 Oh shit, over 1000 hours of DS2 and I never knew that! Just assumed it was a covenant only thing and would forever be only on my main build. I can now get that sweet extra 5% on all my new playthroughs. Thanks! :)

@@KainYusanagi 🤣 "Technically according to the lore, Gavlan the Degenerate Gambler sipped a little too much from that stein and lost a +500 prop bet on the arena with you. You could have just gone and broken his knees to collect all the souls you need."

9 months late but, Darkness can cause enemies to drop aggro.

​@@noahsmalley4689 One month late but against bosses it does nothing. Skumnut proved that much lol.

That sounds like a painful run

When he said that I immediately started scanning comments for anything related to it lmao

Technically yeah, but in NG that's the same number so soul memory can be used to track it.

I don’t know much about DS2, what was the whole million souls thing about?

I also don't know DS2 very well, how did getting 1 Mil souls make it so you can skip getting those lord souls?

@@zaguldo no, it can’t. If you earn 4 million souls in ng, your soul memory will be 4 million when you go to ng+, even though you need to earn 2 million souls regardless

@@JesseGamer to get to drangleic castle and beyond you need to open the Shrine of winter. You can either do that by collecting all four lord souls, or simply by earning 1 million souls (or more if you’re going into ng+). Cool detail: when you collect the 4 lord souls the doors to the shrine open on their own, however when you earn 1 million souls instead you push them open yourself.

Dark Fog is a DS1 spell though, it debuted in the Artorias DLC; DS2 didn’t introduce it…

@@mirror857 Nor did I claim it did! I didn’t know that it was introduced in the first game, though. I’ve only played the remastered version, and never a caster character. I did some end game invasions in the dlc but never came across anyone using that spell. I’ve poured nearly four hundred hours into DS3, and I’m fairly confident it’s not in that game either. If it is, it was added in the ringed city dlc, I’d wager. Thanks for letting me know! Did DS2 add most of the spells from DS1? Did it function the same way as in the first? I’ve always felt that it had the most spell diversity of the trilogy. Kind of makes me wonder if this spell was the inspiration behind the darkness miracle in Elden Ring.

You never did a Hex run? Boy, you missing out!

Yup. Slowly making progress.

me and Lemon have been bribing RU-vid

@@BaronsCastle Bribing them to release a video a year later when some random ass person watches yours to release his? Aite well let me go tell my wife she needs to step up her game then.

Doesn't witch tree branch also cast spells, miracles and pyro so is perfect for this?

@@adamstrong98 no

Agreed, it's so much easier when you know exactly how many shots you have, and casting a light spell shouldn't mean you have less attacks to launch, especially if you used just enough power that you can't throw a spell at the enemy you just attracted with that light.

So… can you play DS1 normally?

@@marctaco2624 i mean, its an easy challenge

I still remember when it worked with the Eclipse Shotel, so you had constant AOE deathblight. Still amazes me they removed that, but never it's interactions with blackflame or blood flame. Don't know whether to be happy it works in PvE, or annoyed it still works in PvP

@@markrobison5199 I think fromsoft just doesn't want death to be viable
