How BROKEN Is Using The Samurai Starting Gear ONLY?

Samurai is probably the best starting class in Elven ring it has a katana decent armor a katana a bow a katana a parrying shield and hey did you know it has a katana obviously we can beat the game like this but how far above the other classes will it rank only one way to find out looks like a bunch of you started subscribing so welcome aboard the cool tarnished Club if you haven't subscribed yet do it your crits will do more damage maybe also go follow me on Twitch if you want to watch this stuff live we're doing bloodborne versus chat soon so come on in and help out now let's play some Elden ring all right the best glass to get samurai gear is the samurai shocker though even if we started as a wretch we could get the Uchi from the death touch catacombs and the armor set from the dragon Barrow Merchant honestly would still be pretty fast Cowabunga Lim grave whoops start over because we forgot to grab the impashes as our starting gift no matter how good this is I'm not playing Elder Norm without summoning why would I they're in the game anyway get a horse save Alex and warp to the dragon Barrow behind the Third Church of America we'll rob a few Graves for some early runes and get the Lenny Grace for later limb grave pickle and slash up the dragon toes it's really fast since the katana makes them extra juicy for more information look up extra juicy Dragon toes on your work computer we get 40 Vigor so nothing's killing us now learning a Time Warp jump on the Rocks land just fine then two seconds later die it could not be dead shouldn't that happen when like you land figure out gravity come on second try our knees don't randomly explode into our skull then we grab the key and warp through the Bellum Highway we'll go up to Altus in a second but first I gotta get the Bell bearing from the Royal Lucario a Crystal Cave boy slash is not good against these dudes with the rocky skin hopefully the boss down here doesn't have that oh no don't worry if you break their stance they're pretty much free the extra armor does stop our stamina from recovering as fast as I'd like it's easier to get these rocks off when we take all our clothes off Google repeating jokes get stale quickly on your work computer to find out more speaking of Imagine playing sakuro in fortnite just need that deck this one we can't really get anything else of value here since we can't change anything about our kit for this run Ford Pharaoh if next just a quick in and out with 40 Vigor you don't need the Beast torch we also grabbed the radicand source seal but after riding up to Altus and getting the Bell bearing 2 from the steel tunnel we sell it for enough rooms to bring the sword up to plus 12. sure 23 levels and physical stats is good but that Dragon gives you 30 free levels right outside so like why would you take the damage penalty these are the things I think about as I enter the abandoned cave we're obviously here for the clean rots while our fanged imp ashes aren't particularly sharp just yet they can keep the Scythe night occupied while we focus on the Little Miss spear that's not actually the Myster or Men book about the clean rot nights that one's Little Miss PTSD they've been through some stuff unfortunately we gotta put them through a little bit more by the time we clear up the spear night Scythe night has used the Michelin tires of light to roll over our little imps but she can't block so honestly I think she's easier than the spear one even if she does get sick on the floor a lot getting sick on the floor not actually the best fighting strategy that's the golden Scarab Talisman for 20 more Rings nerd juice next so we can talk about unsheet it's the second best part of the uchigatana after the innate bleed it lets you rapidly unsheath your sword with the power of a Charged attack and the speed of a quick attack and the timing of your choice it kinda rips and NPCs are particularly terrible at dodging the horizontal slash even if traditionally the vertical slash does more damage patches next his shield blocks are slash it doesn't block bleed build up though we could let him live but I hate little bald boys now we have the pickle recipe for more rooms makes cheesing the night's Cavalry off the bridge very easy is that an honorable way for a samurai to fight I don't know but it's funny setup done let's carve through this game baby [Music] Margaret first remember when I said vertical slices do more damage that's what I'm talking about take a few hits after some slices but we jump attacking he falls down so we get a meaty crit I forgot he has a few iframes when he stands up and he's a little more aggressive in phase two but vigorous currency and having 40 just lets you trade a little bit Easy Market psych we open up the danger path and bodied gasta but we're taking a short detour before riding through the bullet hell it's gilka time we have two pockets might as well fill them with something but whiffing makes the fight take almost a whole minute I'm so embarrassed but I can't hide this stuff from you I mean I absolutely could but I don't because I have integrity danger path is fine we don't even take a single hit your total weight I can go get the unsheet dash of War godric wants to lead with a jumper I'm good with that I like it better than the dragon slash vertical sheets gotta come up with a faster name for them uh up the Downy blasters hopping over the earthquake feels cool hitting him feels cooler and breaking them down with a crit as the result of that hit is goddamn delightful one more happy Downy Blaster and he's cutting off his own arm perhaps I could be of some assistance yeah if he's just going to stand there cutting off his own arm we'll get the bleed face do we just keeps standing there so upbeatony Blaster Break The Stance and crit for a win phase two godwick really lives up to his lore pathetic next up radon he wasn't next in my notes but I thought we were strong enough Jaren gets the party started and we take an arrow while summoning when I say that you don't have to tell me how I can skip the arrow face I don't want to skip the arrow face I want to summon during it and run forward we get right in front of him on the ground and stance break him out of the big suck hey we actually got the crit that's really hard to do against redone also probably better to just slash him so you know that's my bad phase two starts and damn phase two has some hands he just tears through the rest of the squad and we have a big problem our jugs are too small so every hit we take we have to waste multiple flasks and yeah we don't have enough Health radon makes sure of that with the gravity suck that just kind of hits you if you're on the horse second death shortly after both are kind of to gravity in a way back again we're not getting hit by the arrows we're too cool for that twice I wish you could lock onto Leonard when Rodan decides to go bucking bronco dragons have nine different points you can knock onto but radon is literally two models with two different her boxes and they're like nah just the big body makes you choose whether you want to focus on the guy attacking or the super easy baby horse you can mercy kill still he gets super low by the time we get him into phase two here's what I mean we unlock the camera and kill his horse it feels a bit mean but considering how much he loves this little guy we're basically dealing damage to his soul and sapping him of his will to live away the Baddies now we can enter radon's hole and fight the mimic tier but we have to like fight the mimicked here we can't change our starting gear so we can't get naked we can't get rid of the sword we actually have to fight the mimic deer disgusting don't worry though we can still summon the Sims so we can still do it casually righty Lefty slashes are able to do some great work against an NPC now we can't get the mimic to your spirit ashes for this run but we can get the black wet blade which allows for a cult and bleed weapons and poison but poison is stinky I guess that makes sense there's another wet blade in red main Castle but jiren can't stop partying harsh The Vibes we're staying long everybody relatable I'm also very cool and love partying he leaves we can get the red hot kick blade for fire and Flame ashes of War which don't both need to be in the game since we can't actually change unsheath to a different Ash of War we have to get a different unsheath Ash of work from aggiel Lake South does that make sense probably not but if we don't do that we're rocking standard infusion standard infusion kind of stinks but not like the poison infusion finally found something to do with the bow we shoot Birds that's it help us Farm up for pickles putrid Avatar next with a fire sword it's such an easy boss worth so many rooms but oof my timing was off I got hit by everything but then I decided you're not gonna get there to go damn why don't I do this for every fight but I use this power for Melania it actually worked putrid Avatar dead we get that stance breaking physics here which pairs great with the offie Downy slashes bloody version of The Sword for Grail it works great to hit the head chain up bleeds and repeat until that dragon is toasted it's another dump truck worth of runes and a Dragonheart not for anything in particular but if I had a Dragonheart it would be bronzed and in the background of every stream did somebody say beat Raya lucari in eight minutes no well I'll do it anyway red wolf of radagon takes one two three hits ah wait four hits shoot so close to three hits Moon Grim parries us but that doesn't slow us down too much I want to say he's the hardest NPC but God it feels bad saying that about a dude keeps falling down An Elevator Shaft renella is a one cycle wait now what is it with the rail lucaria bosses and hanging on with one HP today in phase two we unsheath and hit her three more times for a crit hey look she's at 25 of her HP that was fast two more jump attacks get us another crit and The Stance tier does not mess around school's out for summer until we need to come back for the moon Mommy to respect our stats we might have to do honestly I meant to activate goddard's great room before doing Raya Lucario and probably would have given us some enough damage to finish off those slivers that the dog and the moon mother had oh well five more to every stat and we buy some runarchs in Altus on the way to the free Sentinel this isn't free it goes pretty poorly I generally think physical damage tanks are all the same but they're not the tree Sentinel has 35 slash resistance so it doesn't matter if we go up eat Downy Lefty righty or a B start it's just not going to deal as much damage oh and he has pretty good bleed resistance too and he can't be crit also his Fireballs are acting weird today the splash damage is hitting us so I guess I'm rolling worse that feels off I dodge these Fireballs all the time and I don't feel like I'm doing anything different honestly I'm getting hit by everything we eventually run out of juice remember our jugs are small but one more jump attack should do it oh or we could whiff yeah whiff is fine let's try again we on sheath get a quick R2 off and then another unsheath and just kind of wait stance breaks on horse enemies are opportunities to heal if you don't have to heal just uh just wait to hit them in a window where stance pressure will be applied institownies we're aiming for more r1s to prop lead faster sure it was this bleed but like slashing is doing nothing at least bleed will give us a big chunk oh and this dude is up there with radagon and the godskins for the amount of sheer rage they have for healing just let me drink my juice you son of a [ __ ] I did break him down before the big Slammer but he decided The Slammer was too good so he has to do it something about giant ass hammers with shockwave aoes that are way too big is a core part of Elden ring boss design and Fireballs yeah if these Fireballs were a Spell option I'd use them and I think you all know how I feel about spells tree Sentinel is dead but we're not going to the capital we need bigger jugs and the Weeping Peninsula is how we get them there's a seed a tear two tears two Brave glove warts and another tier there we go our chug jug is twice as big let's keep this party moving pop another Rune Arc we're never dying again if we die again I'll delete the channel stop saying that bird tree Avatar also has big slash resistance I'm starting to think this Uchi might not be a perfect weapon or at least maybe not suited for everything ritual Shield Talisman will be helpful and grab these sanctified web blade just in case we need holy damage I I don't think we're gonna need holy damage we probably don't need this golden seed but I'm a master of stealth I played sakuro ow ow ow oh God ow that's right I quit Sakura 20 minutes in because I can't Parry that's the kind of gamer I am I've just gone back to the grace to reset the flasks but I like to live dangerously Godfrey shade he can't bleed but we just won't get hit unsheath activate jump over those spikes get a few more hits and ta-da he's at half health for some reason the second half goes worse I guess it can't go much better the ritual Shield Talisman though wow what a Talisman am I right for a second there he just kind of stands around menacingly come on it's your turn I don't want to attack until I'm punishing you one more on Chief should kill him and God dang it why is everything living with the sliver today we've been having fun lately so let's take a break and check out the sewer absolutely Bamboozled The Omen blocking the shortcut get pranked dork and we have another use for the arrows we can snipe the simps off the pipes so they don't chase us on the way to sewer mode wait we're not going to sewer mode whoops we're going to the Lindell catacombs it's designed to break your brain and make it thinkier somewhere you've already been normally it doesn't get me but yeah I'm really crossed up get some graveboard 8 and 9 though that'll be very nice later escrow has a Talisman we need it's just an NPC with two dogs we're an NPC with two imps oh and a soul I open up with a horizontal slash and then the blood dog does 11 000 damage per second not really they patch that out but oof we only have one amp left and he is not taking aggro well but we finally get one dog down before getting chained with flies dogs and knives oh my two dogs down now it's just an NPC fight wait I still hate those and he has flies one of the most annoying spells to deal with we're out of magic but still get it done for the Lord of Bloods exaltation boosting our damage by 20 after we're standing next to a bleed proc as long as the boss's bodies aren't wrong more on that later for now we'll Test the Lord of blood's exaltation on morga we run back some of the Sims and get our juice on I really need to commit to the unsheath if you put the sword in the case and second guess it yeah get hit if you just let it rip you're probably still getting hit but at least you hit them too we back up the heel and the imps make morgant bleep we're too far away for the Lord of blood Talisman to activate gotta come over the shorter name for that uh lob we managed to bust him down between his sword rain and get the bleed during the phase transition as he throws up on the floor why are so many bosses attacking us by throwing up on the floor no amps for phase two but lob has turned our damage way up I got hit by the cursed blood slice that's kind of awkward and a few hits of the blender but he tries summoning the swords when he has no Health left it's a bad idea my guy king is dead let's kill God next [Music] yeah apparently God locked the door to heaven after we said we wanted to do a deer sign what a jerk that means we have to go to the four Biden lands apparently some you don't like these little Lefty sides but are cool with jokes about dragon-shaped dildos in every video so I'll just assume you're a fan of those but saying that roads could be fixed is a bridge too far a bridge that's probably going to collapse soon it's kind of boring to narrate 20 minutes of gameplay that's just running up to the mountaintops the Giants getting the Bell bearing three and leveling up assorted plus 18 before fighting the fire giant well here we go he's a large lad an arcatana is basically a scalpel but if you scalpel your Achilles it's still going to bring you down however remember when I said that some bosses bodies are just wrong well the giant is one of those the bleed we get on the ankle doesn't count towards the Lord of blood's exaltation the only explanation I've seen is that the window for the fire giant is by the head so despite being right next to him with a melee weapon we're actually not close to him emotionally I guess bleed is still good and he's so slow low that the combos can get going I didn't realize he had one of his balls out and it slapped us into some pillars but somehow we lived that neat phase two hand comes down and we unsheet drop one more on the thigh and he falls down so he can slash the head I'd love to slash the eye but if we accidentally critically hit that would suck crits are really bad against the fire giant what a quirky boss he even tries to roll into an invisible wall what a dingus first try win now we could go burn down the air tree does that get rid of the thorns in the capital no we have to kill the godskins who are uh here I guess not sure why they just sort of jump you up but if you know they're gonna jump you bring in Bernie bring in the imps they don't have to live long just long enough for us to kill one of the chunkies thanks to our stance here from the putrid Avatar we are breaking it down in phase one then can bait it into the jumper phase two still gets to go for the rollout but stops and decides that stopping means it can hit me on the column love that Bernie and the imps have finished off a skinny in the background and one of the imps is still alive how are you not dead I have no idea another skinny comes in then we beat down a chunky all together as well but the godskins gank you just gank them back swag jump get the dragon Crest Great Shield plus two Talisman and the bird run we could fight another tree Sentinel but I could malacheth time run in and chug that stance here we unsheath and get it by a few slashes but slash him right back to break him down no crit though we're into Titan can't get a big hit again just getting hit by everything I don't know why I'm playing so sloppy I guess I say I'm playing sloppy we've only died three times bleed pops before phase two which is great because his resistance will reset he doesn't do the front flip though what the hell man two of the regular jump plunges they're a bit more annoying to dodge since you have to roll twice then we can unsheath upy Downy after he backflips to break him down and finish him off with a few more slices think phase two is more intimidating but after you've beaten the game like 60 or 70 times you kind of realize how open these attacks are to punishment and phase one becomes more of a problem everything's burnt down now so we can head to fight Gideon off near the all-knowing hey if you know everything why did you build a mixed into Faith Caster instead of just starting with anucci the imps chase him down we chase him down with horizontal flashes he activates the counter bubble but hey we don't care Godfrey rocks with literal rocks that we can jump over jumping attacks Rule and jumping over rocks to attack me makes you feel like the only thing cooler than a samurai a samurai who can dunk a basketball every part of this fissure hits us but somehow we live thank God for a decent set of armor well he sets up phase 1.5 we bleed him for some lob boosts and get a decent amount of stance pressure before phase two because for whatever reason stance pressure carries over between phases other status effects don't it's been explained to me it doesn't make sense whatever that means when he whips the daddy gravity we just upy Downey blast him into a break and then a crit it's an instant 2.5 unsheath is a little greedy after the first stop but hey we're doing fine it only takes a few more slashes to finish daddy off wow it looks like finishing daddy off made quite a mess too so I've decided this is going to be all remembrances but hey what if we just tried to kill radagon in the album Beast anyway how bad could that go well he can't bleed our spirit ashes are terrible so it's just us with slashing damage oh and I just checked his slash resistance is 35 percent yeah this goes pretty poorly I can dodge stuff okay like the cone but when we break him down you the only way we can crit is if we stand in the explosion of the cone and I'm not going to do that we hop over the Stomp and get all crossed up while charging an R2 if we hit that maybe we would have gotten a stance break but we didn't so all those teleports with their nice aoes just Whittle us down until we get killed by an AOE thank God I didn't promise to delete the channel if we died again can you imagine I guess we need to do a detour and make these imps stronger they've got to be bigger later anyway first the Windham catacombs I hate it here ERD tree burial Watchdog we hit it until it dies then go up galnir which implies the existence of Mount gam far and mount gelm wherever you are we are safe in the hero's grave and our glove warts go on remember that ain't nine we grabbed in the Lindell catacombs yeah that means we're ready to get these boys up to plus nine now that we've upgraded the boys holes we can enter the castles hole nihil is the Sims of his own and they're both coming for us that's fine we can focus on the Dual wielder then the mono shielder and drink our juice for Nile the same stance boosting juice we are using so when we unsheath during the transition that puts some pressure on letting us break him down and look you he's halfway done just one to who more and he's down again with a bloody crit delicious finally we jump into trade but he just uh whiffs so bad drain on his part I should probably have gone to the consecrated snow field since that's why I fought Nile but I wanted to see how good the imps would be against radagon now that we've leveled them up he can't believe in his aoes smash them what was I thinking even worse I'm getting hit by everything hope we're noticing the trend today thankfully radagon is dumber than a bag of hammers sometimes just to grab the imps they don't work like that my guy we even get a crit without a cone maybe we can make this work jumping over the stump Landing the punish on the dive oh yeah another crit makes him go for the hammer Slimer we Dodge every hit it does help that the last one isn't pointed at us now it's all Invincible teleports and lasers not a bad strategy to be fair if I could use a spell that made me Invincible moved me anywhere and made a shock wave as I cast it that's the only thing I would do finally made it to the eldenbeast hey why did I have Lord of Bloods on this boss fight doesn't have AB lead let alone many bleeds to necessitate the exaltation of its Lords for the Beast we jump in and then run to the butt for two charge attacks a third while it makes it rain and another jump attack to break it down you can also get a free charge after the crit after that it does some melee attacks which is best for us they're easy to punish with our biggest attack after that it does some melee attacks which is best for us they're easy to punish with our biggest attacks after that it does am I repeating myself what the hell that one breaks it down for a combo in a crit still no rings and we're at 20 this has got to be the Rings after that it does some melee attacks which is best for us and finally Rings immediately after held and stars yeah that was inevitable we try to combo it to death but it's not enough we have to deal with the Stars time to use some of those flasks we've been saving I messed up the jump on the Rings but we're still fine after that it does some melee attacks which are best for us and that leads into a big chain of running and spamming nebula fire breath and slashes Jeepers someone's making up for those melee attacks that's enough for us to get in and finish it off didn't get a time stamp here I'm doing all remembrances I'm sure it'll go fine and it won't tank this runs ranking probably first up with sigrisax it's a big boy dragon but by the time we get lobbed to activate we should just carve through this turkey like a Thanksgiving Dragon we aim for the head not literally since you can't lock onto the heads for some goddamn reason and it goes for the big nuke but I've got the balls of a lion and a lifetime band from the Minnesota Zoo so we stay in for a stance break and hey we get it we also get a bleed but [Music] Dude where's my lord of Bloods exaltation boost apparently placidious acts is like the fire giant its body is just too big to bleed right big lightning and Uber breath we lived through it then deal with the teepee you might think TP is short for teleport but it's actually short for toilet paper because this is [ __ ] uh still first try when speaking of [ __ ] back to the Sewer now let's fight the definitely real Moog here this is the real guy his blood is just extra thick so it's staying in like a Wendy's frosty it's fine we just slash him up then I noticed unsheath stopped costing magic I know you can run out of magic and still unsheet and it just gets worse since this is what happened against esker but see here it's not crossed out I think this is still the worst version but uh it's weird okay while writing the script I Googled it and I figured it out the Lefty righty slash cost 10 Focus the vertical one costs 15. so we had enough magic for a lefty righty not an upbeat Downey Mo died thank God I hope I never have to fight him again nailed the falling after quitting out twice on the easiest section but the hard parts of falling worked great don't call me Elvis Costello because I can stand up for falling down and that isn't my name weirdly I fall down in the deep root depths more often but not this time via Champs are next the first one gets three shot one two three rajier is also a three shot one two three Lionel is another chunky but uh this other guy one shot Mamma Mia that's the Champion's dead maybe fear should stop stealing her boyfriend's HP we're basically just bouncing all around doing stuff that I think would be fast I figured this wouldn't be a single stream run because I had to go return some videotapes that means uh lighting the Torches and heading into the Regal Cinema Spirit slash that deer up it's pretty free oh God we got comboed am I gonna die to the deer no but it does heal and that's fine just takes a bit longer this is really just a stall fight we're really going all over the map here climbing ladders what a thrill it's volcano Manor last time we died cranking the shortcut but this week we dodged through a cut scene my roles are so good they defy space and time now we've what the godskin duo so the godskin noble might seem like it's free but it's still got the rollout the black flame does percentage-based damage I know it's dead never mind alright now we can go to the consecrated snow field roughly an hour after we got the first uh Medallion no need to kill the old man unless you're in a hurry because he talks a lot we'll take on the putrid Avatar and that was really fast actually a little too fast we don't get the tears we're supposed to where are you finally found them halfway up the hill obviously anastia invades us I was trying to avoid her but we're fine remember the Uchi is really good for NPC fights we're not going to lose to any of those anytime soon five minutes later you know I recently did a run with two bloody daggers and really felt the Nerf on status build up while power stanced I don't think that applied to NPCs for some reason come back and we'll get through to Melbourne Palace The Simpsons defend us while we buy our Rune arcs and head into Mo without the mode dear from Eleanor who needs it we've got the combo boosting tier from the putrid Avatar and The Stance breaking tier upbeat Downy blast and avoid the claws to break him down with a quick bleed for some lob unfortunately he is the lob so he lobs when we lob and is gonna hit us harder too eggs and only got a crit when I wanted a combo but he's still really low for phase two low enough that we can just break him down one more time and get the kill if you don't like Moog face 2 just don't let him have one kill him back at it again and we're climbing up carry a manner at this point Loretta doesn't even get to move she's dead before she can do anything but she's a ghost so I guess she was dead before we started does killing ghosts make them alive say hi to Ronnie in the gang get her a knife get the statue for the study hall flip it run through it grab curse mark of death and hug fear for two minutes might not sound that long but next time you hug a loved one try and hold it for two minutes straight even if you're at a funeral they'll probably be like yeah that's that's enough that's enough finally we can go into battle four to sets but at least after all those side quests we get a fun boss right wrong yeah I uh I don't love doing all remembrances the quests are long and the bosses are this noodle head is the best thing to hit but it Wiggles all around you can't lock onto the toes but you can lock onto the body the body that you can't hit from the ground great idea we finally get a second hint after getting staggered through multiple Aftershock aoes on all of its melee attacks but then we're locked against a wall and the camera shifts to the body so we whiff the shot on the head again this is another boss that does a big attack like the land sex glaive and lands so far away you don't get to punish them love that finally get a bleed and just another hit to end this swag next boss is in a song it's the godskin Boo in the spirit color cave they're like weaker versions The godskin Duo but one at a time and they can't bleed this point though we're fine going 3v1 with the imps carves them up pretty good back to slogging it's reichardt we can't pick up the serpent Hunter because I don't think that's part of the Samurai starting here instead we have to get in that sloppy magma and hack away thanks to the godskin swaddling cloth which we've got forbidden gutskin we're able to heal off as we build a combo but it is slow and works best in phase one because in phase two reichardt's body looks like it gets bigger but it doesn't actually get bigger he's just a bunch of I don't know like cysts and blisters that don't take damage I guess it could be Scar Tissue since he's just idling in liquid hot magma first time it doesn't work second time it does we don't do anything differently it just works that time in cell River main through the lake of rot and 10 minutes later we can fight ass stealth God I love running probably why I love the Estelle fight so much it really lets your tarnish get their cardio in as they run around sound trying to keep up with a weird space bug hitting the face is good hitting the rest of it works two don't die in ordina we'd light some torches then baboom we're in the halog tree almost got bonked off the ledge by some crystallians but make it to the swag jump and swag that jump Loretta is alive I guess if you kill a ghost they do come back to life we bring in the imps he brings in the laser swords laser bows hey laser I hardly know her we can't punish The Stance break because there are so many swords but she's a horse gal so we kind of couldn't punish her anyway the super bow isn't harder to dodge than the normal bow since the air is hit at the same time I think it does more damage but to be honest I'm not sure I've been hit by it before for super slash is also worse than the slash that ghost Loretta has the first hit of the one when she's a ghost chains you into the second hit the one she uses when she's made of meat is too slow to follow up after the first part so you can roll out and she bleeds now poor girl got nerfed so at six hours we killed 38 bosses and died six times that's all remembrance oh what that's um there's one more and we died on the way to it well it's fine still sub 10 deaths and currently the best boss to death ratio we've ever had Samurai rules and nothing's gonna ruin that [Music] first attempt goes pretty smooth we live a ducky dance get to phase two so we can die to a different more bad or ducky dance second attempt back to phase two already and we died but the third time we make it back to phase two uh to die again and and one more time sometimes we just quit out though look the issue with the ducky dance isn't my reaction time I can see her jump up open the menu tab over and quit out before she starts swinging the problem is how long her hitboxes are out for each little spear of thing how well she tracks you and how much damage each slash does in each sphere thing but yeah sometimes we uh we don't make the quit out though here's the thing our stats aren't ideal for a bit there I was investing endurance trying to get to light load not realizing that with the gear and our Talisman we need something like 45 endurance to get there which is excessive so let's respect for some more dexterity minimum strength and that should turn our damage up if we use a bleed infusion it'll give us somewhere around a 115 bleed prompt per hit instead of 75. the deck scaling is also better than it is when we're doing a cult scaling hopefully that makes up for the loss of raw damage from a Colts just having better scaling on our King oh and we're gonna go kill melania's daughter that'll teach her to try and protect her brother away the baddies O'Neill gets [ __ ] Blended just roasted absolutely toasted now Gallery horseery Millicent Millicent Millicent Finley Jr Millicent godskin Apostle and uh we kill Millicent here cool that's just added a nice 17 minutes to the run with two bosses and no doubts maybe I should stall out more okay uh Finley III for the winged sword Insignia which should stack with the Millicent prosthesis and the thorny tear for some huge damage with a combo oh also with the Lord of blood's exaltation it's a nice 70 damage boost when we get it all maxed out and we finally get the last great glove warts to max out the imps in the little Rod Pond by the drainage Channel this really doesn't work there's a few major problems here first our sword is short the Uchi is an awesome weapon don't get me wrong the hand of Melania is probably twice as long and Melania keeps moving if we want to get in on her we need to get through a big old Butternut prisoner had a laser sword we could spam while running away Uchi is not very large in my experience the best weapons against Melania are giant ass swords and hammers that just sort of don't let her move through chunky stance pressure and chunky damage with each hit unsheath has good stance pressure but the raw damage of the Uchi is pretty small bleed chunks are nice but eventually her resistance just gets too high oh that's another thing her DPS is a huge problem sure but it's really how tanky she is every time she hits she heals so she's healing a lot with her massive damage We're not gonna win a war of attrition she also heals when she hits the imps so don't bring the oops they're more helpful trust me they break her out of combos keep pressure up while we need to back off and keep that bleed procking overall it is a boon but it's not a boon without some bangs I know let me solo her use a zunuchi against Melania but they're also using rivers of blood they stack frostbite that repeats infinitely because the rivers of blood has innate fire damage resetting the frostbite proc and the bleep rocks between the two as well we can't hit her with an icy hot combo because we only have one weapon finally crits don't work with Lord of blood's exaltation I don't know why the critical hit attack with your sword still is Bleak but if that bleed activates during a critical hit you don't get the damage boost I don't know why I think it's just broken all of that mixes together to make this ah not great after running out of runarchs I decided to respect for more raw damage with a fire infusion she has zero percent fire resistance as long as she's not on the water but even then it's only 10 which is the same as her slash resistance better raw damage should help because hey just notice this while checking her resistances the status build up doesn't reset for phase two against Millennia it resets between Godfrey and horrorlu between the Beast clergyman and Malachi between godric and well later godric but for some reason for Melania they're like no this is really really really the same health bar great at least this means I was right to switch to fire it goes okay but you know we're still gonna die a lot okay I'm a scrub I've got a perium shield just learn to Parry against Melania who never attacks just once so you know if you whiff the Perry Not only do you take some damage because for some reason if you don't do a perfect Ferry they just punish you with damage uh but she's also gonna follow up with another hit that hits you harder and heals her and parries don't open up for a crit right away it takes three or four ish carries to do it and some of her attacks can't be parried I'm not a Parry guy so I don't know which ones can't be buried yeah no I I tried it twice it's just not crapping it okay uh another ducky dance I guess I'll quit out oh never mind it's for the M this one was for me though remember when we were sub 10 deaths yeah it was pretty cool she just kind of ruins that and swaps our death to boss ratio to negative not like you know super negative but it's still a bummer considering how solid this run was going also we've been here for more than two hours that's the tree Sentinel pterata gun against one boss not as long in the video because you know just saying I died 54 times this isn't all that interesting but uh yeah this stinks anyway here's the winning run bring in those Simpson lead off with a jump attack and after an unsheathed she's back to full health oh God that's bad thankfully she goes for the very easy to dodge uppercut it's a sword attack but fextra life calls it an uppercut I guess she does cut into decidedly upward way big punish with some charge attacks and a crit also a free charge attack when she stands up we're far enough away to avoid the ducky dance While most of it anyway imps are poising her out of Combos and keeping the stance pressure up see what I mean they're more helpful than they are harmful and a Charged attack when she stands up so The Stance pressure continues into phase two the onion drops and I wait it out wow what a concept I was running in early a lot of these attempts to try and get combos going and boost the damage even though she has like 50 extra damage resistance after the onion drops for some reason uh but it just got us rotted and killed us this time it works great we're patient we bleed her we break her down then Critter already onto onion too just wait for it wait for it and go amazing patience but really it's just luck she goes for the Whirlwind slam easy to dodge and punish so we win at 8 hours and six minutes we killed 43 bosses and died 54 times but yeah that's deceptive because it's just Melania if you want to run through the game with the samurai starting gear it's great and then Millennia will kick your ass which is you know kind of a whole thing bleed is good unsheet this good basically katanas are good in the bow and the wooden Shield are great because you can take them off and lighten your load to watch me struggle
