4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 32: Mephistopheles Questline, Blue Dragon! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-11-08 | Episode Recap:- Mephistopheles requires pure black character tendency. See the previous episode for tips on achieving this.- Do not bother with her questline until end game unless you absolutely need her rewards for your build.- World 1-4 is short, but punishing. Watch for the knights.- Please buy rotten arrows from the filthy woman before you execute her for your character tendency. They help immensely with the blue dragon.This adventure is coming to a close, folks. Crazy how much shorter Demon's Souls is than its offspring. Once we finish Mephistopheles' quest, the only thing left to do is slay the king and end the game, so the world might be mended. Are you with me?Thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 31: Pure Black World Tendency Events! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-11-04 | How to activate pure black WORLD tendency:- Die in body form 7 times in a row.- Kill named NPC's in that world. Miralda, Scirver, Ostrava, Selen, Satsuki, etc.How to activate pure black CHARACTER tendency:- Kill NPC's that seem generally undeserving of death. NPC's that do NOT effect Mephistopheles' questline:- Filthy Man- Filthy Woman- Crestfallen Warrior- Ivory Queen- Dregling Merchant- Blacksmith Ed (not recommended, you need him)- Graverobber BligeNPC's that DO effect Mephistopheles' questline:- Biorr- Ostrava- Yuria- Saint Urbain and his surrounding company- Sage Freke and his apprentice- Patches (say less, amirite?)- Blacksmith Boldwin- Stockpile ThomasThe only thing left to do with pure black WORLD tendency is eliminate the primeval demons in each archstone. I will show their locations in the next episode but will not bother fighting them because I do not require colorless demon souls on this build.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #104: Radagon, Elden Beast, A Journeys End! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-11-02 | OVERVIEW: It's been quite an adventure, friends. Thank you all for honoring me with the privilege of being your faithful host. It seems like just yesterday we were showing the Grafted Scion what for and lighting that first grace out in front of old White Mask. It has been the highest pleasure to bring all of you with me through the Lands Between. Kudos to any and all who somehow made it through all 104 episodes! Ya'll have been such a blast to hang out with over the length of this journey. As the door to Elden Ring closes, another door opens to a familiar, but incomplete, adventure. You know the one. See you all there!And thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 30: Selen Vinland, Lord Rydells Corpse! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-11-01 | Episode Recap:- So yeah, black phantom Garl Vinland is a thing. Watch out for that.- Selen only appears during pure white world tendency.- Do not go for the boss room items without killing the plague babies first. Trust me. They are worse than any boss you will encounter in this game.- Those goodies in the area with Rydell's body are worth it. Don't skip.FINALLY we get some good looking armor on this character. Only took us the entire game. Again, they provide you a weapon that has worthless passive abilities at a redundant point in the game. Bramd would be perfect BEFORE completing this archstone, as would Istarelle. Yet we don't have the opportunity to get them until it's too late. I will say that Bramd is a phenomenal choice of weapon if you're psychotic enough to do the VoD first in your playthrough. You get your hands on that thing, die in human form until Boletaria goes pure black, and grab that colorless demon's soul in 1-1 on the rafter, you've got yourself an absurdly strong weapon right at the beginning of your playthrough. Only the meat cleaver and dragon bone smasher can out-damage it. Food for thought if you need ideas.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #103 - All NPCs Finished! Godfrey, First Elden Lord! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-31 | OVERVIEW: I do believe that's everybody. Unless there's some straggler out there I'm missing, we should be good to go. The bald guy who wanted a glintstone key doesn't count. He's nobody. Pretty sure all the people who matter should be up to speed. Rest in pieces, Gideon. Let that taste of madness guide you to the very depths of nothingness. Placentasax died so fast he didn't even go into phase 2. Godfrey stood no chance against the power of this sword either. Watch out, Radagon. LP is comin' for that booty.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #102 - Maliketh, the Black Blade! Leyndell Capital of Ash! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-29 | OVERVIEW: I'm only slightly disappointed that I didn't get to do the super parry against Maliketh. Though it did surprise me that his health melted away so quickly against our damage. Did they nerf him or something? I remember him being more difficult to kill. Next time I'll finish up every NPC questline that I can think of before we close out this adventure. It's time to become Elden Lord.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #101 - Jarburg Massacre, Cleaning Up Faram Azula! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-28 | OVERVIEW: I cannot believe that guy was too weak to protect our beloved jars from some measly poachers. He had ONE job. Also, I have no frickin idea where Selen is. Gonna have to go search for her I guess. Finding these spots in Farum Azula that I missed on my first time through has been super fun. I ran through this level and skipped a good chunk of it the first time, so I'm glad we're taking the time to find everything this time. We will finish this level in the next episode, and quite possibly even the game, depending on how many tries it takes me to beat Radagon. See you there!Thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 29: Pure White Tendency Events! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-27 | Episode Recap:WE ARE NOT FINISHED YET. There's more to grab in Latria, but the biggest thing was releasing Lord Rydell. We will find his actual corpse next time along with some goodies. We also need to pay a special NPC a visit in the swamp once we go back for the Maiden Astraea boss room items.- Istarelle is in a bad spot. Be smart and pull the big guys one at a time.- You only need to beat 2 bosses to activate pure white world tendency. I've chosen to clear the archstones entirely before doing them, but you do not have to do this.- Clearing an archstone does NOT lock the tendency in! Continue playing in soul form when pursuing white tendency items.I never really agreed with them making you clear the entire poison level in order to get the weapon that offers poison resistance. Kind of redundant if you ask me. The tendency section of Latria is quite interesting, though. Once we go back for the other half of the items you'll see what I mean.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #100 - Crumbling LPs Sanity! So. Much. Death. LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-26 | OVERVIEW: We did it, ya'll! First playthrough I've ever done on here that has reached triple digit episodes. I 100% could not have done it without you. Now help me think of a creative way to celebrate! Post your ideas in the comments. As far as this episode goes, it's a regular stroll through Clown Town. The number of times I die today because of stupid sh*t is unreal. And they expect me to become Elden Lord? Goodness. Brace yourselves.Thanks for watching! It means the world to me :).
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 28: Maiden Astraea, Maneaters, Old Monk Defeated! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-25 | Episode Recap:- Garl Vinland proved powerless against a maxed out dragon long sword. No parries needed.- Plague babies. Don't fight them.- Maneaters went down faster than a cheap escort this time. Fire is the answer.- Old Monk is similar to fighting an NPC. My parry timing was ultra sloppy, but you get the gist. Parry him, hack him to pieces. It's your call.And that concludes all the archstones, ladies and gentlemen. Give yourselves a round of applause if you've been following along because you now only have 1 boss left after today. Next time we'll finish our last 2 pure white tendency events, and from there, everything goes dark. Very dark. Pure black, to be precise. Get ready.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #99 - Malenia, Blade of Miquella! Crumbling Farum Azula! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-24 | OVERVIEW: Didn't I tell ya'll she was gonna get whooped? Nothing can withstand the power of this sword. There's a reason it's my favorite weapon in the game! No exploits, no gimmicks. Just raw, overwhelming fire damage. Works like a charm. As for Crumbling Farum Azula, this place has its fair share of challenges. Maliketh will undoubtedly give me more trouble than Malenia. His fight does involve a strange gimmick, but we'll probably need it in order to win because he's just flat out difficult. My controller was really pissing me off if you couldn't tell. I hope I can fix it.Thanks for watching!Music used in order:Hans Zimmer - "If You Love These People" from Man of SteelSham Stalin & Pandora Journey - "My Condolences, Monster"Motoi Sakaruba - Dark Souls Full Trailer Music (Hidden track)
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #98 - LP vs. The Scarlet Quartet! Fire Giant? Hah. DEAD Giant. LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-23 | OVERVIEW: Kinda crazy to think that this playthrough is about to be over. We only have a couple bosses left. Once we burn those thorns off, the only thing standing in our way is Godfrey. Again. That'll be, what, round 3? Jeez. Millicent's questline is rather heartbreaking. All she wanted was to be in control of her own destiny, and she was willing to die for it. No surprise, her siblings could not stand up to the power of this sword. Next time we'll have to see if her mother's chances are any better... See you there.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #97 - Clearing Hellfael! This Place is TOUGH! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-21 | OVERVIEW: As difficult as this level is, I find it strangely enjoyable. The section with the revenants is a bit obnoxious and quite frankly I'm shocked I didn't die on that part. But I'll take it. SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW TO GET TO THE DEAD GUY IN THE CHAIR. That is bothering the crap outta me! Also, I checked the wiki and I know what I did wrong. So don't yell at me about Millicent. We'll finish her quest up before taking down Malenia, whom I am certain is her mother. It'll be a fight for the ages.Thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 27: World 5-2: REVENGE. Dirty Colossus Defeated! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-20 | Episode Recap:- Big Guy Island holds 3 stones of ephemeral eyes. You decide if that's worth the hassle.- The area with the shamans is a bit troublesome. Keep your shield up and look every direction constantly while navigating through it. The depraved ones blend in.- Buy rotten arrows now before you forget. Don't be afraid to use soul items if you gotta. They'll come in handy!- Dirty Colossus is not dangerous at all. Just keep strafing to avoid the mosquito blast and he almost always misses with that club hand. Attack his blind side, back away for the bug explosion, repeat. Easy.What a fantastic feeling to be at the end of this archstone. Our final battle here will be an intense one, though. Maiden Astrea and Garl Vinland is an incredibly iconic fight for several reason. But we'll go over that when once we get there. For now, let's celebrate the joyous occasion that is reaching the end of world 5. We have very limited tendency events here, which is the only good thing about the entire level.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #96 - Loretta Defeated! Elphael, Brace of the Helligtree! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-19 | OVERVIEW: Welcome to hell. This place is harder than the snowfield by a lot, but in a good way. It is punishing beyond all means of justification, and rightfully so to prepare you for Malenia. There is GOOD loot here. What I like most about Elphael is that it does not cheap out on its brutality. The enemies here aren't just beefed up to 11 for no reason. You really have to strategize against each mob, because charging in guns o' blazin' often ends in you getting your sh*t pushed in. Plenty of excuses to use the jar cannon too, which ya'll know I love. Let us find as many as we can. "For science."Thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 26: World 5-2: The Swamp of Sorrow! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-18 | Episode Recap:- Fire.- Did I mention fire?- The roll prevention makes the big bois more dangerous than they really are. Watch your step when fighting them.- Large Sword of Moonlight is fantastic if you level your faith. It is one of the few weapons I would recommend spending colorless demon souls on.- Kill shamans first. Always. The poison they cast is not the same as the swamp's. It will kill you significantly faster.Big Guy Island. What a headache. Knowing what's out there prevents me from bothering at all when I play this game for fun. You'll survive without those 3 stones. For me, however, it has become personal. Can't stress enough how important it is to have a pulling weapon in this level. Can you make it through without one? Sure. But you'll hate it even more than you already do. Do yourself a favor and bring a bow.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #95 - Mohg Defeated! Descending the Haligtree! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-17 | OVERVIEW: Two tries isn't bad considering I employed an untested strategy this time around. Mohg is quite tough. Those windups with that trident are bogus and difficult to read. He took me double digit tries to beat on my first character. Granted, that build was pure holy damage, which he is not weak to at all. Going pure physical damage with blood grease worked great this time. Now we make out way into the Haligtree. There's some serious difficulty out in front of us, folks. Are you still with me?Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #94 - Snowfield is DONE! Here I Come, Mohg! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-14 | OVERVIEW: Some interesting bits in today's adventure. Don't mind me being irritable. I'm not adjusting well to fasting and exercising. Pay no mind. Several things happened in this episode that I missed on my first playthrough. The invader at the lake was one, then we got into that tower with our niece and nephew, and I certainly didn't get to invade Varre on my first run. It felt pretty great blasting him into the next life with the hellscar. Rest in ashes, Whitemask. Yee shan't be missed.Thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 25: World 5-1: Leechmonger Defeated! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-13 | Episode Recap:- Poison arrows. If you can afford them, buy them. You will want them later when we deal with the blue dragon.- Big bois. Don't fight them head on. Pull them into a controlled space and use FIRE.- Plague rats. Kill them from a distance. 1 bite is usually all it takes and plague curatives are expensive/uncommon.- Meat cleaver phantom. Just don't. Cheddar cheese is the answer with this enemy. You'll die in less than 3 hits trying to dodge roll in that muck.This archstone is quite unforgiving. Much of the challenge here lays in not knowing what's waiting around every corner. The enemies are certainly difficult, but it's their placement and unpredictability that really gets the better of you. Also the fact that almost anywhere you fall from is death. Watch your step.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #93 - Giant-Conquering Heros Grave, HANDS, YETIS, BIRDS, F***! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-12 | OVERVIEW: It's an all out monster brawl today, folks. We've got handzilla's and yeti's and dead birds as far as the eye can see. This hero grave was surprisingly easy! I expected worse, considering where it's located. Not having the seals on anymore is making all the difference, I tell ya. We can finally survive more than 2 hits! For now. Next time we're cleaning up the last of the snowfield and headed towards the Haligtree. See you there.Thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 24: World 1-3: The Penetrator, Valley of Defilement! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-11 | Episode Recap:- Let Biorr tank this dude for a smoother fight. If you solo him, he's not impossible, but he hits hard and is kind of relentless.- Don't forget all of your lizards in world 1 come back AGAIN after beating this boss. Get those upgrade stones!- Valley of Defilement is a trash heap. Literally. Do not expect a good time down here.- Bring fire. All of it. Dragon weapons, fire arrows, fire bombs, turpentine. You will need it.It always feels too soon when I reach this archstone in a playthrough. I dread it from the moment I create the character. Wait til we get to "big guy island" and you'll see what I mean. This place is absolutely rotten and filled to the brim with punishing encounters. Thankfully I have so much fire at my disposal we're basically a walking nuke in this place. The path ahead is gruesome, but at least it's flammable!Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #92 - Yelough Anix Tunnel, Conquering the Snowfield! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-10 | OVERVIEW: Gimme all the tier 8 smithing stones, baby! Mega score in this tunnel. Dual Night's Cavalry was also easier than I remember, but then again, I accidentally aggro'd them both in my first playthrough. That was ugly. We've finished Latena's quest, it seems. Most of the snowfield is done diddly at this point. Wish I could find that dude with the rot hammer I was looking for. Am I crazy?Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In Depth-Playthrough #91 - Consecrated Snowfield Catacombs, Cave of the Forlorn! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-09 | OVERVIEW: The misery continues! Not so much trouble in either of these dungeons, thankfully. Most of the headaches are in the snowfield itself. Know this: I wouldn't even endure this area of the game if there weren't ample rewards for doing so. I'm excited to hit the Haligtree, but we have some work to do first. Next episode should be the end of the snowfield.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #90 - Stray Mimic Tear, Ordina, Liturgical Town! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-07 | OVERVIEW: Welcome to silver knight archers dialed up to 11! But less creative and lazier. I'm not a fan of this section at all. You could fix the issue with this dungeon by leveling up to 170 or higher and just steamrolling it with thick armor, but I think the archers are overdone. The need for the torch against the assassins is also extra as f****. I'm flat out relieved to be past this place. The Haligtree is just as tough, but it's MANAGEABLE. The difficulty approaching is GENUINE. Get ready!Thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 23: World 1-3: Biorr of the Twin Fangs, WITCHCRAFT!! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-06 | Episode Recap:- Save this guy. He's going to be a huge help against an otherwise crushingly difficult boss. You'll see.- Yuria is important for multiple reasons. Not only does she teach you insanely powerful magic spells, but she's a hit target for a later questline.- That secret door behind the secret wall down the secret ally can only be opened after finding all ceramic coins in fragmented mode and trading them to Sparkly the Crow for the key. It hides the Penetrator's armor set.- Do be careful descending to that colorless demon's soul. It's okay if you don't get it on the first try. Takes practice and patience.Ah, Biorr of the Twin Fangs. Dude has plenty to say about King Allant and his brother, Vallarfax. We never get to see Vallarfax, or perhaps the body at the bottom of the soul pit with the brushwood armor is what became of him? Hard to tell. We don't know if they dawned matching armor. What I do know is those two served King Allant together, and I can't imagine having to get through them in order to fight him. Biorr is strong enough to 1v1 the Penetrator and Vallarfax was apparently strong enough to escape the fog. Fun to think about!Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #89 - Dragon Vyke, Taking the Lift DOWN! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-05 | OVERVIEW: Today I learned that a rocket shield build is officially in my future after that death. Stand by. In other news, Consecrated Snowfield is a bitch. We've collected all map pieces for the Forbidden Lands and now it's time to make our way to the Haligtree. We've got an incredibly difficult mini dungeon to complete before we can do so, but our special torch will help us with that. How many times will I be grabbed n' stabbed by Blackknife Assassins? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball LP!Thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 22: World 1-3: The Boletarian Palace! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-04 | Episode Recap:- Your basic enemies here are the exact same as the rest of Boletaria, the one exception being the King's Spies. They are dangerous until you skewer them with a fire weapon.- Highly recommend you buy and use the knight sword/shield if you have the strength to wield them. When paired, they are a deadly force in your hands.- Ostrava almost certainly never dies here, but I've had playthroughs where they've killed him if you don't open the gate fast enough. Keep that in mind if you want to do his quest.Welcome to the 1% living quarters! The Boletarian Palace is a wonderous place. Laced with traps, ambushes, and difficult foes, it remains one of the most memorable levels in the game for me. I'm glad we decided to save the Maneaters for later. This level is wicked fun to conquer and there's no shortage of good loot. In the next episode we're going to put that key we picked up from the Fat Official to use.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #88 - Commander Niall, Spiritcaller Cave! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-03 | OVERVIEW: Castle Sol is no longer. The flame has taken it. We can do the Haligtree now, though. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to do that place before covering the rest of the Forbidden Lands because there's a ton of useful stuff to our build there. It'd be difficult as hell, but we can manage it. This cave is a bastard. "Oh, you know the Godskin duo's weakness? Hope ya don't mind if we just remove that!" I mean come on. And the rest of the Forbidden Lands is just that. Yippy.
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #87 - jOiN tHe SeRpEnT kInG aS fAmILyYyYyYy! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-02 | OVERVIEW: "Together, we will devour the very gaaaw-uugh." What a cool fight. The cinematics and the storytelling behind this shard bearer are SO awesome. But that concludes the Volcano Manor. Did I f*** up Tanith's quest? Sure. But I didn't want that dumb whip anyways. We've got hella ground to cover in the Forbidden Lands now, and none of it is easy. Castle Sol done gave me the castle doctrine today. I do not feel welcome.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #86 - Juno Hoslow, ULTRA Death Rite Bird! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-10-01 | OVERVIEW: This part of the Forbidden Lands isn't so tricky to cover, thankfully. Death Rite Bird's most powerful variant resides here, but he's your only speedbump. It's the area up top with the yeti's and Handzilla that gets hairy. The Consecrated Snowfield below is also quite difficult. As far as snow goes, we've got it easy right now. Onward to Castle Sol!Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #85 - Zamor Ruins, Giants Mountaintop Catacombs! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-30 | OVERVIEW: Lots of irrelevant talk in this episode. Don't mind me talking about weight loss goals and the coffee I drink and all that nonsense. I'm just excited the weekend is here. Are you? So this catacomb is a strange one. I guess it follows the same concept as the one in the Shunning Grounds? Close enough, anyways. The game couldn't WAIT to throw another ulcerated tree spirit at us. Hughes said "f*** that" and bopped him good. We've got nothing to worry about with him.Thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 21: World 3-2: NOBODY ELSE CAN BIND ME! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-29 | Episode Recap:- Take a good look around me.- Cuz now I'm breakin' the chains.- Fret not, RNG will treat us better next time and we'll hack those goons apart. I will also be prepared with grass. They're not as hard as I made them seem.- That fall death in front of the lizard was BS. It looked like a ghost pushed me off!You know what my usual strategy is against the Maneaters? Fire storm. That's right. I waltz into their space and visit fire and ruin upon them, the likes of which they could never anticipate. It burns them to a crisp and the only sound that escapes Latria is the Maneaters crying for me to please stop. I don't. The flames swallow them and their ashes scatter into the wind. Only scorch marks remain on the bridge they once guarded with their brief lives. That's how I usually deal with them. I figured it would be cool to fight them mono y mono this time with a weapon. There's a valuable lesson to be taken away from this passage I've written just for you all: When hellfire from the very palms of your hands is an option, use it. Period. Next time we see them, I will be death incarnate walking through that fog gate.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #84 - Deeproot Depths Secret Entrance, The Forbidden Lands! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-28 | OVERVIEW: Kombucha. How strange. Perhaps it deserves another shot after all. Somebody tell me what happened to my first red mark! I couldn't find anything on the wiki that explained why it disappeared. As much as I dislike the majority of the Forbidden Lands, there are some bosses here I'm looking forward to. I'll be sweeping through it rather quickly and not fighting most of the enemies due to them all being oversized and pointlessly difficult. We'll end up finishing it quicker that way! Because who the hell wants to fight the giant dead birds and friggin' yetis? Not I.Thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 20: World 3-2: BREAKIN THE CHAINS AROUND ME! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-27 | Episode Recap:- Dokken gang! Where are my hair metal listeners? Tell me your favorite Dokken song in the comments.- Don't waste your time dying like me to get that stupid item in front of the demon heart. I'll come back for it when we do our tendency sweep.- Fire = bad. Magic seems to also hurt them quite a lot but these enemies abhor fire, it seems. Dragon longsword is the answer.A rather simple task, no? Break some chains, bring down a giant heart, find our way to the top. It makes you think some kind of grand scheme was in place and we don't even know what it is. We just happen to be "that guy" who needed to get to the top of the tower and we're thwarting an entire plan to do it. Is there no one who can stop us?Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #83 - Mohg Jr, Margi- I mean Morgott, FRENZYYYYYYY!!! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-26 | OVERVIEW: Looks like MarGIT never MorGOTT good. But then again nobody can handle my body guard. He's too damn stronk with that magic bonk. What a guy. So we're officially on our way to massacre this world and burn it to nothingness. Just the way I like it. Do I wish Melina would square up like she says she will? Sure. Maybe that'll have to wait until DLC or a sequel, though. Enjoy watching the hug of a lifetime, folks."This world shall know flame."- LP when he activates the frenzygan.
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #82 - Leyndell Catacombs. A Genjutsu Nightmare. LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-23 | OVERVIEW: Man, f*ck this place. The Shunning Grounds is already a dump and then they do this. If only it were as easy as putting your hands together and saying "release." So such luck, though. Miyazaki said "suffer, you insects." To my pleasant surprise, we did not die to the super shrimps. Surf n' turf on me tonight, folks! #barbequedThanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 19: World 3-1: The Fools Idol Defeated! Sage Freke! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-22 | Episode Recap:- He's a Freke in the sheets. Let him out if you want big boi magic attacks!- Fool's Idol is deceptive. If you're pure melee, do be mindful of the magic "mines" on the ground when running her down. Step on one in soul form and you're surely toast.- Fire did the trick, as expected. Give 'er hell.Those gargoyles must secrete testosterone through their hands because as soon as they grabbed my character she became a man lol. Listen to those grunts. Latria always misleads your expectations because this next portion of the archstone is quite easy, but the boss waiting at the end is brutal. Am I worried? Hell nah. We're gonna chop 'em to pieces. See you there!Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #81 - The Dreaded Shunning Grounds. What a Sh*t Show. LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-21 | OVERVIEW: I stand by what I said. This portion of the game is redundantly brutal for no friggin reason. Like, we've already fought omens, imps, giant flowers, rats, and revenants. So why take all of these enemies and dial them up to Hulk smash? This is why I dreaded this part of the game. Even the weakest enemies here have 1,000+ HP with absurd damage. To me, that's just annoying. Death is constantly 1 slip up away down here for no reason other than they felt like making it as difficult as possible without adding any unique challenges. Will we get through it? Sure. But will I complain the entire time? Probably.Thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 18: World 3-1: Navigating the Labyrinth of Latria! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-20 | Episode Recap:- The ring of avarice is expensive, but if you intend to level up to the point where the game becomes less challenging, that's an essential tool you'll need when soul farming.- Getting *a little* turned around is inevitable here. Just keep picking up keys and eventually everything will open for you.- You don't have to open every cell like I do. If you don't see an item, move on.The nostalgia is real, folks. I love the colors and the sounds in this level. As much as I will always love Dark Souls, Bloodborne was definitely the atmospheric successor to this game. It inherited the rich, immersive surroundings much better than Dark Souls. The bloodied cells, rusty chains hanging from the ceilings, and creepy Mind Flayers patrolling the halls really give you a sense of enclosure. This feels like a prison. Well done, FromSoft.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #80 - Leyndell Capital Lower Level! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-19 | OVERVIEW: So it didn't take quite as long to clear out the lower level as I thought it would. Those pesky sewer portions with the hands didn't cause me anywhere near as much trouble this time around. Pretty sure we got all the items but ya'll will let me know if I didn't like you always do, fortunately. Hard to believe we're already making our descent into the Shunning Grounds. Talk about a complete sh*t show. Here goes nothin'!Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #79 - Godfrey Round 1, BOLT OF GRANSAX! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-16 | OVERVIEW: I was totally right. By the time I got in touch with my mom, she was worried that I had died in a ditch somewhere because I didn't answer her. Hilarious. But we FINALLY got the spear! I think we're good, other than the crucible knight making my butthole clench so hard it tore a hole in my brand new Secretlab chair. It'll be time to go into the lower portion of the capital next time. I fear nothing with this physical manifestation of calamity in my hands. Everything shall be cooked to death in a blinding flash of red.
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 17: World 3-1: The Prison of Hope! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-15 | Episode Recap:- Satsuki's black phantom is way tougher than his human form and doesn't give you anything new. He drops another hiltless, which won't do you much good. It's perfectly okay to body him right here and now.- Don't let the prison system get you turned around in Latria. Pay attention to your keys, always go back to unlock doors you couldn't open, and simply follow the lights. Items = you haven't been this way yet.- The jailers are resistant to magic. I recommend fire and anything pierce damage against them. An upgraded bow did well, as you saw. Fire arrows would clean them up quickly.I've been looking very forward to doing this archstone. It's probably my favorite one. The linear progression of it feels great and I love how you seem to be going up and up but somehow deeper and deeper down at the same time as you fight through it. There are some memorable bosses here and a TON of good loot. Especially for my build. Next stop: Sage Freke, the Visionary. See you there!Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #78 - Steamrolling the Capital, NPC Invasion, Roundtable Hold! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-14 | OVERVIEW: I really like how they put the abandoned Roundtable Hold in the capital. It almost seems as if Leyndell was its rightful place at one time, until The Shattering happened. Now we don't really know where exactly the hold is in the world. It is shut off completely with no way to look outside. Almost like the Hunter's Dream. It shocks and amazes me that I haven't died at least twice yet. I remember this place being harder, I guess. Stay tuned for Godfrey round 1 and the lower portion of the city!Thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 16: World 4-2/3: Old Hero and Storm King Defeated! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-13 | Episode Recap:- The slug pool is a great place to farm sticky white stuff if you need a reliable source of magic damage.- Fire works best against the Old Hero and he seems to take the most damage from pierce attacks.- The Storm King is sort of a gimmick fight, but he dies quick.- Those 2 lizards out in the graveyard are a giant pain in the ass. If you don't intend to use crescent weapons, don't even subject yourself to their BS.- We picked up 2 very good katanas in this episode. Both require colorless demon souls to upgrade. 1 of them will be used for the NPC Satsuki at the beginning of the world.Seeing as how we're a primarily magic-focused build, I have to get those damn lizards. What an annoyance. FromSoft really should have prevented those storm beasts from coming back in the boss room. It's a needless inconvenience in my opinion. But that's 1 more archstone down! We'll finish the last of the white tendency events and review the crystal lizard locations next time before heading into world 3. See you there.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #77 - Jar Knight Trio, Into Leyndelle Royal Capital! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-12 | OVERVIEW: Did we seriously wipe those jar dudes on the first try? That went way better than expected! The Frenzied Flame takes all. It's an exciting day for this playthrough as we waltz into one of the hardest portions of the game. Leyndelle is quite a lengthy legacy dungeon. Probably the biggest, now that I think about it. There's a large section up above where we'll run face first into the erdtree itself and then there's an enormous labyrinth of bullshit underneath it. We're going to spend quite a few episodes here, so get ready.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #76 - Body Guard, Dragonbarrows, NPC Events! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-09 | OVERVIEW: This is a rowdy one, folks. I don't know how you guys feel about this new style of intro but I'm gonna roll with it for a while. It's fun to do and changes things up a bit. I know I'm not funny. I just like to goof off. It feels good to be under the protection of Hughes again. Dude is an absolute unit. Did all those dragons deserve to die today? Hard to tell but they're dead now so let's just say yes and be done with it because the darkness flame takes no prisoners. The last 20 or so minutes of this episode is a bit dry as I ping pong between NPC's but we gotta cover this stuff at some point or another. May as well do it now.Thanks for watching!
4K| PS5| Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 15: World 4-2: The Ritual Path, Surprise Ending! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-08 | Episode Recap:- Make sure you watch to the end! There's a nice little throwback in there that should bring some enjoyment to your day.- Fire is the best damage type for this section of world 4. Fire bombs, fire arrows, fire EVERYTHING if you want to live.- The shadowlurkers are probably the most challenging part of the Ritual Path. That beam attack is deadly. Tread cautiously and fight from a distance.The reaper farm is legit. You can stack this method with pure black world tendency to get the best bang for your back, because the darker your world tendency is the more souls the enemies drop. You can amass quite a few souls in a short period of time by killing the first reaper over and over again. I may end up doing this to boost my health a few levels, seeing as how we still die in just a couple hits to almost everything. Or I might not because I enjoy the rush of panicking when things attack me. Find out next time on Dragon Ball LP.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #75 - Sage Cave, Unsightly Catacombs, Nights Cavalry Round 7! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-07 | OVERVIEW: Guess I was feeling rather goofy today. Don't mind me. With these last 2 excursions, it looks like the plateau is completed. What a freaky thing to say, considering how enormous it is. Now the only thing left to do is extinguish the Dragonbarrows and we'll be ready for the capital! See ya'll on Friday.Thanks for watching!
4K | PS5 | Demons Souls EXPERT Walkthrough Ep. 14: World 4-1: Shrine of Storms, Adjudicator Boss! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-06 | Episode Recap:- Remember our new archstone checklist! Clean inventory, soul form, equipment check.- The regenerator's ring was past that crystal lizard that got away before the boss, but I didn't bother grabbing it. I always forget that thing. We'll get it next time.- You don't need high damage against the skeletons if you have the RIGHT damage. An un-upgraded dragon bone smasher would clear this place easier than our fancy dragon long sword because of how weak they are to strike damage. Get creative.- Adjudicator is a joke. He only has a couple attacks but he hits like a truck, so stay out of the way of that cleaver and go straight for the belly wound. Two staggers max and he's done regardless of your damage. Fire works well, though.- Sparkly's trade list can be found on Fextra's wiki if you need to know what can be traded. It's a useful mechanic and the majority of trades are beneficial.The Shrine of Storms was always enjoyable for me in this game. It has many challenges embedded within as we go deeper. Some of which are quite literally invisible. Clearing this level will take a bit longer than world 2, as the levels are lengthier and you can't fly through it quite as easily. This archstone requires patience and know-how. We'll be employing our best practices as a seasoned Souls player here. Get ready.Thanks for watching!
Elden Ring: An In-Depth Playthrough #74 - Auriza Side Tomb & Heros Grave, Dual Crucible Knightmare! LPDarkSoulsHD 2022-09-05 | OVERVIEW: Wheeeeew, what a doozie of a hero grave this is. You get fancy armor from it, which is nice I suppose. Dual Crucible Knights is a seriously tough battle. I'll be honest with you: I'm shocked it only took me 2 tries. That boss took me several attempts on my first run, and that was WITH my body guard. It's unfortunate the Ordovis Greatsword isn't viable on this character because I'd use it. It looks great and hits quite hard with a satisfying weapon art. Perhaps in another playthrough.Thanks for watching and HAPPY LABOR DAY! Hope none of you have to work and can enjoy your holiday because wtf is the point otherwise :D.
