📍 Thank you all for the comments and the poll answers. Turns out there is a pretty janky "trick" to the double arrow thing. I'll make a small update video sometime soon.
If it's something small, you could make it one of those #short videos. I'm not sure, but I think polls and shorts help boost the channel in the youtube algorithm.
Omg I laughed so much at the beginning I had rice coming out my nose
This is a friendly reminder that it has been 1259 days since limit said he would create a viable miracle build for DS3. 😔
He did tho, the viable regeneration build. You harlot.
@@Dusknight. you called that a miracle build? all the damage came from bundles!
he'll show you a proper miracle build, he'll show you all
@@Dusknight. Go rewatch the end of that video.
Now he can deepfake lightnings onto a viable sorcery build.
Funny meymey aside the lightning arrow miracle exists
The falconer's running animation is pure comedy
Never expected you to be here
Worse then sliding Draugr in Skyrim.
Cracks me up everytime they are charging towards me with hate.
@Souvik ghorai Nope even the patch cant fix it because it's an animation and you cant fix it with mods yet.
It's like sixty minutes on acid.
Coder: "Bird's broken, boss."
Director: "Just toss it in NG+ where nobody will ever see it."
Dark Souls 2: 😢
Scholar of the First Sin Director:
"LMAO let's not even fix them and put them back in NG."
@@Killicon93 btw, Scholar fixed nothing.
Remember:
The kingdom of Volgen hired these guys as mercenaries because their native troops were too pathetic.
I'm wondering what kind of animations those troops had...
Heh.
The mighty t pose brigade of Volgen brought fear to the hearts of their enemies.
They just trip and fall and you get the souls automatically.
These goons got hired just because they did the same stuff as the other troops but did it with a bird now that's pog
probably something like this
th-cam.com/video/SP5c_MEs9mo/w-d-xo.html
That is actually a chad stride...
Falconer: *dies*
Falcon: *just fucking falls*
Thank you, Dark Souls.
2 scholar of the first sin
It doesn't want to live without its master
Because the falcon flying away with its newfound freedom was too difficult to program.. we'll just have it die from sadness instantly. Much more immersive, anyways!
Hearing the "kill the host" part was just so raw i couldnt stop laughing
🤔
I lost my shit seeing the falcon just drop dead in the air
@@FaceRipperReal Falcon Plop!
@@FaceRipperReal its so stiff when hitting the floor too I cant stop laughing
Invaders jokes
peak jank:
they wear an actual falconer glove on their right arm, but they hold their falcon with the left
B-Team plz...
Volgen Dudes: "Alright, here's some special falconing equipment for your arm safety."
Falconers: "Wait, but we're infinitely respawning undead; who cares about personal safety?"
And thus the Falconers decided to show off as prudely as their lore suggests by flexing about how they can do falconing on a non-falconer-gloved arm...on top of double arrow shooting and parrying after death.
@@joshuakim5240 what a bunch of ballers
Blame Miyazaki and Bandai Namco who pushed it out before it was finished.
This video reminded me of how awful DS2 was. As if the bland PvE and fudged lighting system was bad enough the designs are sloppy as hell.
@@joeking6972 scuffed game
...In the end, the only thing that could kill the immortal falcons, was the heartbreak of losing their beloved owners...

Flashbacks of farming this monster for Sunlight Medals 🤦♂️
@Souvik ghorai I do think about that sometimes but it's not something you ever recover from, no matter how many effigies you use.
same man, i spent 2 whole weeks farming the medals
As a note the big troll guys at earthen peak also drop those at a slightly higher rate I think it was easier in non scholar version as they were right next to the bonfire
It was terrible so I gave up until my cousin got PS+ again
It's waaaaaaay easier if you get to ng+ and farm the 4 right when you spawn. The drop rates were really good for me. Got 30 in 2 hours
Going into NG+ for the first time and getting immediately shot by a bird was such an epic way to start the second playthrough
Followed up with that early swap of a chest near Majula for a mimic. _chef's kiss_
Dark Souls 2 NG+ was actually a surprising change in gameplay.
@@sounghungi Freya coming up the cliff had me screaming
especially when trying to do a deathless run for that ring (:
@@8Kazuja8 i fucking hated it with a passion. I don't know if this was different in SOTFS (I bought a base copy), but there were so many goddamn red enemies that it was straight up unfun.
Another interesting fact: Some of them carry a straight sword instead of a scimitar. This sword appears to be unique to them and cannot be acquired.
well shoot I was trying to farm that weapon for DAYS! Until I realized I was playing dark souls 2 for DAYS!
Isn't the Cutlass unique to the Volgen mercenary falconers as well?
@@Lofirainbows No, that's a scimitar, you can acquire that.
What blows me away about this enemy is that despite how unfinished their animations appear and how confusing they are to fight as a result, they decided to have them be the only offline source of freaking sunlight medals.
So people farm the hell out of them and come face to face with the JANK.
If I remember correctly, you can also find sunlight medals as a drop from a giant slaves in a poison area
It’s canonical he shat his pants
We all do..... And it's canon too
but he doesn’t have pants. he has a little skirt and some boots🤔
Vaati lore video incoming?
That is explained in the lore, Volgen was an Infamously timid nation often reluctant to partake in war, though they hired the sellsword mercenaries known as the Hawk/Falconers to compensate, serving as a deterrent aspect. They likely also served King Vendrick of Drangliec. After being afflicted and marked by the curse of the undying, they eventually turned hollow. As such probably have no control over their bowls. It all makes sense now
I can't believe it took me over 6 years to learn about the "thing", so I had to make it a lil' tribute to this dude. I actually had to cut out some weird things this vid for not knowing what was falcon exclusive or not (like parrying kicks and their weapons can jank directions on stabs). There is a theory that the walk was supposed to be used for "strafe" shooting, so in the tall grass it would look legit. But I think he is simply unfinished so got booted into NG+.
Hello
typical
From what I know, they walk diagonally because of their block. If a mod maker could stop them blocking every time they walk they'd walk normally. If I'm not totally misremembering, this might have also been decent useless data. I'm sure this is what Stayd said when I asked him about it while he was doing his mod.
@@FreekinEkin2 Well cool to know, what is the normal walk animation anyway?
i'm learning new things every day, like a week ago i learned that playing ds2 in steam bigmode lets you make longer character names
That little segment at 4:00 actually made me sadder than it should have. I think it was the cake. Nothings sadder than an ungifted cake.
But it is true who would play ds2 more then once
@@goinghome8 me... i stopped at NG+7 xD. I loved DS2 gets way more hate than it deserves
@@treeesus5267 Yeah ds2 is still fun.
But it is still the worse in the series
@@treeesus5267 True, it gets more hate than it deserves, but I think that hate comes from people debating its flaws.
It starts off as saying the game is the worst in the series and stating why, then people claiming that those points are wrong, then before you know it one side is saying Ds2 is a horrible game and the other side is saying it's the best in the series and that Ds3 is garbage.
@@treeesus5267 A tree of culture I see
Some falconers do shoot 2 arrows so maybe they just didn’t bother making an animation for a single arrow.
I'd swear I've always seen them shoot two
@@jeanpaulgartier3404 yeah same, it has never shot one for me and I’ve farmed them for hours
@@chainsawpunch1009 Same for me, though I am playing SotFS. Maybe the original game was different?
@@connorsmith4319 they’re no archers or even shield variations of them in the original. Only the ones with the falcons can be found there in NG+. Idk why Fromsoft decided to add them in Sotfs wen they knew from the beginning they were unfinished and broken...
@@raphicoco Because SoTFS is the equivalent of a licensed, but unimaginative, ROMhack. Most of the new enemy positions exist to mess with the expectations of returning players.
while farming for sunlight medals i was impressed by how their arrow can curve like they're assassinating jfk or something
plus their run makes me teehee
All Souls series arrows curve, but it's especially obvious with the Falconers.
@@specialnewb9821 Pretty sure that's not true, only DS2 has heatseeking arrows.
@@someguy9970 DS1, go to Painted world. On the bridge to the fog gate are some hollow archers. You can see the arrows curve toward you in mid air. Other places too, but easy to see there.
This was my first Dark Souls game I ever played, and I went back about a year ago to replay it. Only to discover the Falconers didn't have their Falcons, and I couldn't find any proof of the Falcons existence at all. So thanks for proving I don't just make up random memories to myself.
Lol,nobody wants to play NG+ in a game with Bonfire Ascetics, we get it.
@@hossdelgado626 ds2 is the only one that have a ng+ that is more than just restarting the main game
@@negatvecreep and? It's also the only game with Bonfire Ascetics which for a lot of people is better then NG +
@@hossdelgado626 there are things that dont work with bonfire ascetics, still, but yeah its "a bit" op
Same this was my first dark souls game and I went for beating all the bosses for my first playthrough including the dlc bosses which were a damn pain in the ass but still ome of my favorite souls games.
Amazing intro. When I was playing SOTFS I couldn't remember if these weirdos were in the original game.
Too bad they didn't appear in Happy Souls
Oh Shit! Didn't realize you were uploading again!
Ng+
That moment where these four dudes make the beginning of NG+ infinitely harder than the original final boss of the base game
They were that hard for you? You really suck.
@@ruceblee969 Alternatively, Nashandra is stupidly easy. And being elitist over dying less in a video game makes you look pathetic, not the person you are insulting.
@@ruceblee969 Damn bro you’re really cool
Like right out the gate too. You dont get any time to think
@@ruceblee969 Wow, very cool, congratulations on your skills in DS2.
Bro. I haven't seen one of those School Projectors in a long ass time man.
The 'banished to to ng +' part has 2 audio references, the "do you think he's coming back?" is a very specific, rather obscure scene in dark knight rises, and the "how come he don't want me man?" is a somewhat famous scene from fresh prince of Bel-Air.
How can a scene from a blockbuster movie be called obscure? And is it possible for it to not be very specific?
FACT: he didn't add that sound effect at 4:27
wait wha
Really?
Ha! That would be pretty funny.
@@unscathedpotato Nah, it's from Wakfu.
I didnt know DS1 pvpers were an enemy in DS2
Me too man i didin't knew that
Jesus fucking Christ. How many JoJo weebs are on this comment section?
hello
@@colbyboucher6391 Dude, by definition they ARE weebs.
@@Karatys incorrect, seeing as a weeb is someone who wishes that they were Japanese so badly, that they are an embarrassment to their native country.
Would have been cool if you could get the falcon as a drop and use it as an off-hand weapon.
Give the falcon to the smith to reinforce it!
@@connorsmith4319 sharpen it's talons? Yer
@@connorsmith4319 Okay, stick with me here.
Bird. Armor.
@@ilovethelegend I'd love to picture such a heavily armoured hawk that it is skin to throwing a spear at the enemy, in that it is only going forward due to the force of the throw, and is incapable of moving itself.
Can't someone mod it into the game?

The production quality somehow gets better, and more cursed with each video. Can't wait to see the next (de/ev)olutioon
That running animation though
First time I saw them running at me I thought it was a glitch🤣
I don't know who I am,
I don't know who they are,
All I know is that they are stronger than fucking dragons
Limit breakers has never switched their content, continues to uphold the quality, and does amazing in depth and funny videos- truly a master of the TH-cam site
Lmao the ashen Pepsi flask is a must for any teenage undead.
The little touch of Old Man having his shadow dynamically cast by the projector.
In the year 2083, Elden Ring will finally release. In the year 3308, we will finally have a viable DS3 Miracle build.
You'd never played DS2 NG+? It is one of the best NG+ experience of the Souls game as it actually adds new rewards and surprise enemy obstacles.
I literally don't care to ds2 i beated it one time and abandoned it i simply can't have any fun playing that game
@@capperbuns same g
Yeah DS2 NG+ was the only one that actually tried to give a bit of replayability to the game
Enemy placements changes
New enemies
Its not just increasing health and reducing your dmg like other games
I've only player trued NG+ about twice in DS2/sotfs because DS2 gives such excellent access to NG+ mechanics through bonfire ascetics. to be fair though I only have a combined 500 hours in the game
The bird dropping like a sack of hammers after the guy dies is pure comedy.
I need a mod that replaces all enemies with falconers, gutter dogs, and fire lizards.
oh not the fucking gutter dogs
ah you seem to be a masochist like myself as well 😂
Gutter dogs and falconers cant be compared with moving fire lizards. They dangerous literally to any SL character in melee fight.
Falconers can be parried and cheesed (make heavy attack a wait for falconer to dodge), gutter dogs slow as hell, but fire lizards always pain in the ass.
@@Edgariki Cue in fireball spam
@@zatoka08 Actually, they less dangerous in range, rather then in melee. Use fire resistance gear and spells make you invincible for fireballs.
In melee they can break your guard even through havel shield with a LOT of stamina, have more hp then some of the bosses in the game, and a good chunk of poise.
More then one in melee is guarantee death.
My first ever New Game+ in Scholar, all three of them used their birds at the same time and killed me as soon as I started
I love how it falls flat to the ground hahaha
That bird up reference was awesome
Yeah, okay. I'm the resident DS2 shill and even I can't defend this one lol.
The falconer is super buggy man idk why they even maintained the enemy in the game it only makes to the whole "ds2 is the buggiest game of the series"
It's fine to love a game and still be critical of it
Why would you ever defend the undefendable? Dark Souls 2 is poo-poo.
@@Lunartic_ underdog syndrome
@@capperbuns What baffles me is that they had the perfect opportunity to fix them in SOTFS, but instead just added MORE of them to the game so that their janky-ness is even more noticeable.
This isn't just a case of "oh they forgot to fix this minor glitch, no big deal", no they just straight up looked at this blatantly broken and unfinished enemy and thought "Yep the is fine, let's add more of them". It's one of the most idiotic design decisions I've ever seen
*Grabs Grandpa Limit's shoulders and starts shaking aggressively*
Give it to me now
The miracle build.
Now.
Jank Souls 2 has a soul that makes it the most endearing.
The Falconers feel like cut content that somebody restored via a mod. Except From Software forgot to cut it multiple times.
Honestly I thought the animation resetting endlessly attacking Knights in Dragon Shrine would win the award for most jank tbh, but that is some funny jankness from the Falcon squad
I always wondered why their run animation was just so dang weird!
Because it's a side step animation used for moving farward
@mantisr818 Oh it all makes sense now, I wonder if they were a late addition to development? Many of Dark Souls 2's Factions/Knights/Soliders have long since degraded armour and weaponry, except that the Falconers armour and weaponry is exactly the same as the players model; it isn't damaged, faded or ruined
That interview makes me feel so at ease. Watching the sunset, hearing that Majula theme, all while talking how you shitted your pants.
I love the little touches like at 0:45 you can hear the messengers from Bloodborne "laugh"
Now if the falcon was a usable weapon, then pvp would be swole with birds
The only other dks2 enemy that could even come close to the falconer in terms of jank was that hammer wielding drakekeeper from the dragonshrine. Endlag was only a suggestion for that monster
Is he that bad?

Dude that pooping pants bit is SOO FUNNY. FUCK 🤣
That "How come he don't want me man" had me looking back at this clip. Cried again like a bitch, thanks.
You have no idea how happy this makes me.
Thank you for the funny poop walk joke, Old Man-Senpai, very cool.
At least he can glitch bosses
The falconers actually DO shoot two arrows. Happens to me all the time. Loved the vid!
the falconer singlehandedly makes ds2 the best one

No we aren't happy old man you know what we want.
Your videos and editing are so unique and have a relaxing quality to them.
This whole game is fkn jank
Their Walker animation is basically me when i suffered stomach ache
I remember liking their weapons and being disappointed they weren't in the game.
Man, experiencing the start of original DSII's NG+ for the first time was insane. For a moment, I actually thought that the rest of my NG+ play-through was going to be this wild ride through a magical Christmas land of shiny-new, but really just very unpolished, crazy jank from start to finish. So very sad when it petered out almost immediately following the tutorial.
I'm always amazed at the work that goes into these videos
Video ideas:
can you one shot the weakest enemy in dark souls remastered (dsii and dsiii are too easy) with a single punch.
Is it possible to one shot the weakest boss with your fist in dark souls 2 or 3.
What is the most sneaky camouflaged character possible in the souls series (using things like ring if fog, making your character as thin as possible etc...)
What is the longest jump possible in dsii.

Those falconers certainly are menacing the way they approach the player with that strut.
Thank you Limit Breakers for bringing back ds2 content
The intro is beyond amazing
2:15 Was that the "rise from your grave" from the old Altered Beast?
I believe you mean "Wise fwum yo gwave!"
But yeah, it totally is.
I started playing DS2 again today after a long break, and I LITERALLY thought this when I first saw a Falconer. Such weird walking
My favorite jank they do is float in the air when you break their towers in the royal army campsite in Brightstone Cove.
"It just works" - B Team, probably.
Fu nny joke definitely will receiv an like from I
Farming for Sunlight Medals in base DS2 I could’ve sworn they threw their falcons more than once
Is this a SOTFS exclusive thing or am I crazy
You have to reset the enemy. Resting at a bonfire also resets them, allowing them to use it again.
I remember playing through my first run, having a good time, not having trouble, then making it to NG+ and getting my shit rocked
Best part is the bird dropping like a rock mid flight.
Are we gonna just skip over the fact that the poop walk gives falconers damage Resistance
It's because that's actually their blocking animation, and they've just been jankily hardcoded to block everytime they move.
@@spiraljumper74 imagine needing to shit so bad you become more resilient to everything
I honestly just love these guys. Never fail to make me laugh.
I absolutely love this content you've been doing recently. 💖
SOTN: owl and knight mourn each other's death but carry on independently.
DS2:
The bird falconneers are actual hell at the start of the game,
i always run past them because bird op
They actually literally shoot 2 arrows in spider land
I had one of these guys bend over backwards and twist like a pretzel - and he still kept shooting arrows at me with the accuracy of a sniper in Vietnam.
Omg the parry from the grave had me cracking up. I knew they were janky but that’s insanely funny.
This doesn't surprise me. DARK SOULS II has the jankiest enemy? 😱
I'm glad someone else is drawing attention to this. When I revisited DS2, the second time the SotFS edition, encountering these guys was a delight and I had a blast just running away, and waiting for the falconers to catch up with their dumb little shimmy.
“Are you finally happy little hollows?”
I haven’t been happy in a long time...
Old man: gets 1 bird attack and no other
Me: STOP USING THE DAMN BIRDS!!!
They are in the haunted forest area in sotfs, so not ng+ exclusive
This is such odd timing. I was just looking at a 6 year old reddit post and apparently they can parry a 2 handed ultra gs
Horrifying
(OH old man even points this out)
I’ve asked the have you pooped your pants question before and have to admit more people have than I would’ve ever imagined
I love these videos and please keep it up!
So, does this help on getting a viable miracle build?
Well these guys do drop Sunlight Medals, which is how you get the Sunlight Spear in DS2
They drop sunlight medals, so yes it does.
♥ I've spent more time with Old Man in the past year than my own father in the past 20. ♥
the bird just fucking falling when the falconer dies is so hilarious to me for some reason
