Listen ign and listen close, this is the best damn thing on ign, if you want your channel to have a better reputation you need to keep this stuff up, you don't deserve all of the hate you get but if you cancel this series... we riot
I wish they had their own channel between them, that would be awesome. Dan could do a Lore series, Rory could continue this and Gav could just sit there being cynical as fuck. If this series was them in a room filling pigeons' anuses with werthers originals and singing Yankee Doodle, I would still watch this shit. In short they have an awesome unique chemistry.
Jim Bob I dunno about that. :P They're in it for the money, and as long as this series is doing well, they're not cancelling it. There are also no signs whatsoever of them doing that.
+Trent Johnson i know. But you have to admit making him fight her in the early game would be hilarious. If you kill Emma then it unlocks the dancer fight, soooo....
I get it Rory. Like when you're spamming a swig and you aren't sure how many attacks it will take to kill something it's not as satisfying as when you know it will only take one more swing to kill something so you just hit the button once like a boss!!! Watched the first prepare to try. Love you 3 guys together. So funny.
I like to imagine an alternate history after Prepare to Try, in which Dan becomes a high school teacher, and when he gets frustrated with a student he snaps back to his Dark Souls days: "Rory! Drop your shield! You're wasting stamina!" just shouting frantic advice at a bunch of confused kids. Also, he'd have a skull sitting on his desk that he'd pretend was Gavin.
1:40 I actually knew what he was talking about. Getting that last hit is satisfying, especially if you pulled it off perfectly like a seasoned pro. Some people for example swing one or two more after they killed the enemy because they are mashing buttons. But not you. Some weapon in dark souls even have a cooler animation if you get that last hit right on. For example katanas in DS1.
I've platinumed the game and I'm almost done with a video walkthrough and an SL1 run and I NEVER use specials other than for Yhorm. I'm not saying they're useless, I'm just saying you can play the game without them.
No, they told him once they reached Firelink, the explanation was just cut out. Krupa mentions one of the longsword abilities and says how he showed it to Rory.
I think it depends on what weapon you use. For the longsword the weapon art is an instant guard break which would be pretty helpful for a new player coming across turtles so often
Ultra greatswords usually have an AWESOME weapon art I call "the pancaker". It also gives you hyperarmor for the move. Also Lorian's Greatsword has one of the best weapon arts, because it's a two step. Step one buffs the sword to do more damage, step two is a fanning fire attack, also with hyperarmor.
just perfect mix of banter, rory with his inept gameplay, daniel with his dry sarcastic words of encouragement and gav wit his off the track scenarios about dark souls life. great veiwing
Ohh yeah amazing stuff!! Go buy more gems! They SCREAM if you drop them down something that will kill you :D And keep up the good work! #rorygwynslayer
Yeah Krupa, Gav and Rory are in for a world of hurt with the Nameless King. I've platinumed all souls games and I couldn't beat him solo at the level I was. If he doesn't level up very high he has no chance. He will eat his words when he does face him.
+Austin Tse Agreed. I was the same, Nameless King was the only boss I summoned for on my first play through, except it was hard to find anyone who wasn't already being summoned by someone else because everyone needed help haha.
"We need a bit more intelligence..." I chuckled. Seriously though, love this series so much. DS2, Demon's Souls, Bloodborne, keep going forever. I know it's hell sometimes, but you guys are awesome together.
+Jaydan Robertson i honestly think BB is harder than ds3, infusing is way simpler than gems, the creatures are waay freakier too, imagine him freaking out and disgusted at some creatures dude, it would be hilarious
Arthur Coelho Oh the game is definitely difficult, I've never wanted to tear my own eyes out so badly. I was just saying the playstyle of Bloodborne is much more suitable to people who like to rush in and kill stuff before they take in the situation
@@deckulus3815 It's a greeting in Welsh Gaelic. The Souls games use a lot of Welsh in their lore. Probably following suit from Tolkien who used Welsh Gaelic as a base for his Elven language.
Hi guys great video. This is quickly becoming my favourite series. Ps. Maybe you should do two or three done counters one for each person so by the end of the series we can see who truly got absolutely done at the end. My money is on Krupa to absolutely destroy both of you by the end.
Problem with that theory is that he ISN'T new to the Souls series. He played through the whole first game before this, and imo, it was wayyyy harder than this game.
OMFG! Did they just drop a 48 minute episode on us? I read of people complaining last episode, for a longer one, and you actually listened? Thank you so much. I'm going to start watching now :)
You can sell your souls to the old lady in the chair, it doesn't take you out of the item screen because there is no animation to perform, and you get the same amount of souls for selling as you would If you used them.
Damn, this episode really f'd me up. Rory pls get gud again... This was MENTAL I watched this episode right after the welsh triumph in the Euro quarterfinal, so congrats to all the Welsh! See you in the final. ;) - A German Fan of IGN and especially this series
God dammit, it took only 17 episodes to beat the whole DaS1, why on earth Rory became so slow so he spent five episodes to reach second real DaS3 location?
I feel like magic may be a bit to complicated for him, he should probably focus on quality/hp as its the easiest setup. Other than heals for faith I would say lightning spears are garbage this time around, I mostly just use it for the buffs and added lightning damage
Listen ign and listen close, this is the best damn thing on ign, if you want your channel to have a better reputation you need to keep this stuff up, you don't deserve all of the hate you get but if you cancel this series... we riot

Why would they cancel it? It's doing fantastically.
+OmegaMetroid93 They're IGN, one can never know with them.
Jim Bob I dunno about that. :P
They're in it for the money, and as long as this series is doing well, they're not cancelling it.
There are also no signs whatsoever of them doing that.
they'd cancel it because it's bit getting many views
Watching this in 2020, it's crazy how much these guys have improved the quality of what they do with RKG.
As much as I love RKG I still love rewatching these old series
I totally agree that Rory would be from Astora. He's naively friendly and very likely to die.
Rory has just sealed his fate by accidentally agreeing to fight the Nameless King
Well he did it
Recently started to watch the back log back through again. Always delivers 😂, so good.
It's kind of impressive how often Rory accidentally kicks.
Kick counter?
I thought this would be easy for rory after beating ds1 but holy crap i was wrong
Dark souls one is so much harder than 3
+Arno van der Veek. Very true this is still harder than dark souls 2 tho
+Dylan M8 if you played pre-patch not sotfs version without covenant of champions of course it was easy because you were playing on easy mode.
Yeah, that's what we thought... - Krupa
Man after playing 1 and 2 before the release I was almost disappointed with how easy this game was until I got to some of the endgame bosses
The Done Counter makes my day, thanks for putting in it lads!
Krupa, Gav, you guys should have made him fight the dancer. The trolling would have been incredible.
You have to fight dancer to beat the game, so...
+Trent Johnson i know. But you have to admit making him fight her in the early game would be hilarious.
If you kill Emma then it unlocks the dancer fight, soooo....
Too cruel... we're already struggling with the stuff at our level.
The Slanderous Gent Really? Well, you learn something new every day.
There's a way to beat the Dancer without dying.
I get it Rory. Like when you're spamming a swig and you aren't sure how many attacks it will take to kill something it's not as satisfying as when you know it will only take one more swing to kill something so you just hit the button once like a boss!!!

"pretend"
Dark Souls 3 - Prepare to Try: Episode 723 - Nameless King (227th to 247th attempt)
Prepare to try episode 724
Rory just suicided and dieded.
I imagine it will be like o&s when it took him like 2 days but they edited it into like 30 minutes
think it was more like 3 days?
1:40 I actually knew what he was talking about. Getting that last hit is satisfying, especially if you pulled it off perfectly like a seasoned pro.

"is maintaining our friendship a boss?"
He said that just after I read this.
I love how every time Powers taunts something or gets overconfident he almost immediately gets his comeuppance
thanks so much for bringing this series back! you three are the best. keep it up :)
krupa gav and rory remind me of clarkson hammond and may
Krupa looks like Sean Bean.... not really
+MH Gameplay not the way they look..... I'm talking about the comedy
Dan- May
Gav- Clarkson
Rory- Hammond
Gav and Dan deserve a medal for playing with Rory, he is trying my patience and I am just watching! lol
Good they listened to us longer episodes
Yes! Thanks for the longer video guys! Feels much more worth sittning down and watching now! My day is saved!
I really like how they've completely neglected telling Rory about the skill moves because it's just too complicated😂😃
I've platinumed the game and I'm almost done with a video walkthrough and an SL1 run and I NEVER use specials other than for Yhorm. I'm not saying they're useless, I'm just saying you can play the game without them.
No, they told him once they reached Firelink, the explanation was just cut out. Krupa mentions one of the longsword abilities and says how he showed it to Rory.
lets not teach him the spin to win.
I think it depends on what weapon you use. For the longsword the weapon art is an instant guard break which would be pretty helpful for a new player coming across turtles so often
Ultra greatswords usually have an AWESOME weapon art I call "the pancaker". It also gives you hyperarmor for the move.

We're gonna have some great B-Roll by the time this whole thing's wrapped up.
Rory Powers
Careful reading comments, their are spoilers everywhere
just perfect mix of banter, rory with his inept gameplay, daniel with his dry sarcastic words of encouragement and gav wit his off the track scenarios about dark souls life. great veiwing
they're so nice to each other now compared to this one and season 1 lmao
"Sugar the hoodies!" You Rory, are a treasure.
Rory "I'll kill every optional boss without co op"
if only you knew... if only you knew...
Yeeeeeees 48 minutes, thanks for listening!
Thanks so much! Amazing episode, sit back on the sofa, relax, get a beer and watch this ^^
Ohh yeah amazing stuff!!
Go buy more gems! They SCREAM if you drop them down something that will kill you :D And keep up the good work! #rorygwynslayer
God, I can't wait to see Finchy vs Nameless King. It's gonna cause tears.
Ikr
especially since he said no summons😂
Yeah Krupa, Gav and Rory are in for a world of hurt with the Nameless King. I've platinumed all souls games and I couldn't beat him solo at the level I was. If he doesn't level up very high he has no chance. He will eat his words when he does face him.
+Austin Tse Agreed. I was the same, Nameless King was the only boss I summoned for on my first play through, except it was hard to find anyone who wasn't already being summoned by someone else because everyone needed help haha.
Well he did
Thank you for longer episode:)
@1:40 lol Rory explaining how stoaked he is not to be R1 spamming ahaha so proud, I'll say it again this is the best content on IGN
Finally, i woke up for this
Me too
Don't listen to them Rory! Your puns are spot on!!
seriously lads thanks for the long video at last, can't get enough of you guys 😂
Always rewatching PTT for Krupa (mainly). His reactions and patience are brilliant - I would have gone mad long before even season 1 ended.
Omg when Dan made the joke about Ash Lake and looked at Rory like he knew what he was talking about I almost died.
Rory's face lighting up when he hears what prism stones are for is adorable.
Coming back from the future. Omg dan and gav are so mean to powers! poor guy.
"We need a bit more intelligence..." I chuckled. Seriously though, love this series so much. DS2, Demon's Souls, Bloodborne, keep going forever. I know it's hell sometimes, but you guys are awesome together.
you guys still have me laughing every episode, love the simpsons references.
Best series ever! Keep it up guys!
please make him play BLOODBORNE after this, I beg you...
I feel like Bloodborne really suits these new players who always attack first and think later, where Dark Souls is supposed to be methodical
+Jaydan Robertson i honestly think BB is harder than ds3, infusing is way simpler than gems, the creatures are waay freakier too, imagine him freaking out and disgusted at some creatures dude, it would be hilarious
+Jaydan Robertson and after this series there's only ds2 and BB if we want them to continue...

"I wanted the elite knight leggings, not the regular knight leggings!" -Rory, 2016 xD
Death Counter
Done Counter
Wales Counter
Razz Counter (whatever that means)
Estus Counter
I need to know what aye schemai is or how ever you spell it.
@@deckulus3815 It's a greeting in Welsh Gaelic. The Souls games use a lot of Welsh in their lore. Probably following suit from Tolkien who used Welsh Gaelic as a base for his Elven language.
Finally we're back to proper video lengths
Hi guys great video. This is quickly becoming my favourite series. Ps. Maybe you should do two or three done counters one for each person so by the end of the series we can see who truly got absolutely done at the end. My money is on Krupa to absolutely destroy both of you by the end.
These guys need their own tv show!!! You 3 are great!
why is this so damn compelling..... i just cant figure out why i like this so much. Its awesome!
It's because of the chemistry between the three of them.
28:07 Vitality, Strength, Endurance. Everything you could ever want.
dan you have the patience of a saint
Rory I love you but you are the Dory of Dark Souls.
Best dark souls series ever.
you can tell when someones new to dark souls cause they feel the need to kill every useless enemy on their way back to a boss lol
That annoys me with Rory lmfao
Problem with that theory is that he ISN'T new to the Souls series. He played through the whole first game before this, and imo, it was wayyyy harder than this game.
yea maybe so, but he has a new players mindset, there's no denying that lol
That's it, Finchy looks like Murderface if he was a frog man
Or like Charles Bronson
"Bloom isn't actually an elf either", can't stop laughing!!
OMFG! Did they just drop a 48 minute episode on us? I read of people complaining last episode, for a longer one, and you actually listened? Thank you so much. I'm going to start watching now :)
The Dark moon blade and Blue Sentinels covenants come to the aid of Way of Blue members. And Rory is absolutely mental at these games.
Rory should play Bloodborne with all those post-death weapon swings he's talking about.
You can sell your souls to the old lady in the chair, it doesn't take you out of the item screen because there is no animation to perform, and you get the same amount of souls for selling as you would If you used them.
when Dan said "all the optional bosses?" i know he was think about one boss in particular :')
Damn, this episode really f'd me up. Rory pls get gud again... This was MENTAL
I watched this episode right after the welsh triumph in the Euro quarterfinal, so congrats to all the Welsh! See you in the final. ;)
- A German Fan of IGN and especially this series
They should spin this off into it's own deal. I'd watch these 3 playing any tough game
i guess will get to see the final boss in 2018
I love watching poor Dan slowly lose his sanity.
God dammit, it took only 17 episodes to beat the whole DaS1, why on earth Rory became so slow so he spent five episodes to reach second real DaS3 location?
Thanks guys love this series
"You gonna do all the optional bosses?" - "Yes! - That guarantees that about 5 episodes will be spent on the Nameless King! I can hardly wait!
Rory- "What's the gameplan here?
Gav- "I reckon go down run up those ste-"
*Rory immediately jumps off the ledge*
I feel for you Dan, I feel for you...
remember you can 2-hand the weapons!
oh when 1,400 souls was a lot to lose.
you should put some sort of head protection on, it really reduces your overall defence by having an empty slot
'Never going to summon'
Well, the death count is going to be going up a whole lot to Pontif Syluvin, Dragon Armous, Nameless King and the last boss.
well Rory prepare your self for those optional bosses without co-op.. cant wait to see the death counter at the end of the season.
Followed this series since the beginning. Watching drunk for the first time. Even better. #powersstillcantparry
i love these videos along with the ds1 ones great job IGN
"I haven't seen this many dragons since Gwyn killed them!" haha so good.
Rory's reaction to "twinkly stones you put on the floor" xD
Finally a long video!
These guys are so patient! :D
Catarina is the Wales of the Dark Souls world, also I can see Gav as an Onion Knight
The Jack and the Beanstalk joke was priceless
as a july 4th special you should have dan and gav fight a boss each using half of the controller lol
I don't think they celebrate the 4th of July in the UK mate
+Jaydan Robertson Haha! "Oh drat, the colonists are celebrating our defeat again. Say Gav, would you spike my tea please?". 😂
Yeah cause they're in America lol
can't wait for him to try the dancer of the boreal valley. took me ages
Belgium, done you. We absolutely done you. Lol. Joking aside well done Wales.
Best comment
Diolch Gav. Bring on Portugal. Bale against Ronaldo will be fun.
BEST EPISODE YET!! . . . . . "Why are you two handing a shield!"
Makes me want to move to Britain just so I can be friends with these guys :D
Corner gameplay and prism stones are pristine
13:07 bro, that back stab
how did powers make it out of the womb
"this is actually a really great weapon" - still uses the base sword.
his spoiled prince impersonation is on point T_T
I love this series
Longer episodes = better episodes :)
This series is so good:)
Really good episode! I feel like if Rory is going to use magic, faith would probably be a better choice. He'd get extra heals and sunlight spears.
I feel like magic may be a bit to complicated for him, he should probably focus on quality/hp as its the easiest setup. Other than heals for faith I would say lightning spears are garbage this time around, I mostly just use it for the buffs and added lightning damage
+Jaydan Robertson Yeah, but soul arrows aren't much better imo. I just think faith has more tools that he could use.
Professor Snape.... is that you?
Make sure you do all of onion knights quest
Krupa you made a dead poets society reference. I can't believe you
"Oh! Get that B-Roll, get that B-Roll! Dun dun Dunedin"
