Holy shit this guys underrated. The editing?? The song choice??? The dedication to the various bits??? You made me cry all over again over this game with that end segment, big ups to you.
Great video! Just a few things to mention: - Unless you encountered a bug, Yanlao must be one of the first three sols - Jiequan does not prompt you to meet with him and you don't get imprisoned until you defeat all three of the first three sols. I'm guessing you encountered Yanlao before Jiequan and mixed up the order in the video? - Pretty sure that item you missed is not part of the true ending requirements (you do NOT need 100% to get true ending). These are the requirements for true ending afaik: 1. Rhizomatic bomb from beating the three grotto challenges and mini-boss. 2. Shennong becomes village leader - Requires giving him all poisons, growing the pavilion tree to max (gifting seed + two fertilizers to ShuanShuan), and completing the three village sidequests (rescue from prison, heal the poisoned villager, fend off invaders). 3. Gifting ShuanShuan artifacts and interacting with him enough to achieve an interaction count threshold. Generally occurs around 9 or 10 artifacts (3 of which need to be the seed and two fertilizers for the previous requirement).
I changed up the order of the Jiequan and Yanlao on purpose for the video. I fought them in the right order. It felt more interesting as a viewer to see it play out like that, as the revenge is pushed further back and it felt better to go from Yanlao's easy fight to Jiequan's harder fight than the other way around. I got all the things you mentioned to get the true ending, but didn't get the trigger. That's why I mentioned I assume it was not getting 100%, otherwise it might have been a bug. Luckily it didn't matter because of the speedrunner savefile. Thanks for enjoying the video
I know you're joking, but I was actually disappointed in how easy the fights were after going from Nines Sols to Elden Ring. It's not a slander on Elden Ring or From Software as I love all their games, it was just how I felt at the time, it was the launch of the DLC and first time playing the game. It's why I need time to formulate my thoughts, and hopefully it was just because I was hot off of Nine Sols and said "I felt I needed to slow time to defeat alot of these bosses" This made me feel in a way like One Punch Man in Elden Ring afterward, bored of first trying most bosses and getting robbed of an epic fight. I want my first experience in the game to not be tainted by this and so I quit to return hopefully one day.
9sols was easy for me because it’s just a rhythm game for most bosses, and I’m good at those. The only real exceptions are goimong with her tag teaming zombies and unpredictable attack combos.
Also imagine needing quick dose. Unironically trash jade imo. Simply wait for when there is a gap in the pattern. Do you use steely jade/ water flow during boss fights because you’re too impatient and need to spend qi right this instant as well? Or just arrow/ 5 qi full control talisman them to make an opening.
@@thomaswang2223 rhytm and dancing is how all fights are in games, Sekiro and Doom Eternal being the best showcase of that in their genres. Nine Sols was harder for me, while Elden Ring was so much easier in comparison. Some people found Eigong easier than Ethereal. Diffiuclty is a such a unique concept that is cool to see how different it can be for so many people
Quick dose felt needed early on and I think after I got comfortable with the game, I replaced it. I used water flow because I would always end up with so many charges from parrying, I couldn't get rid of them fast enough, so just slapping a talisman and having to not stop to denote it kept up the flow of combat, now I see why it's called water flow **mind blown** Was it the most efficient? no. Was it fun and fit how I wanted to play yes.
Came for Ninesols review, awed by your dancing, and stayed because of your editing, the count of attemps slowly increasing (reminds me how I lose my sanity to Eigong) was the peak for me, never thought I would laugh so hard, thank you!
It seems the dancing has worked it's charmed ;) Eigong's fight was one of the best in gaming history, much like the rest game. I had to show how hard it was and always love showing how many attempts it takes for super-challenging games. Do you remember how many tries it took to defeat certain bosses including Eigong?
@@Caliboyjosh10 I loss count... it took me around 75 hours the first playthrough lol... but in my perception the most time-consuming bosses in order were Lady Ethereal=Eigong>Jiequan>a bloddy two axe mecha which is not even a mini boss> the rest>>>>>>Yinzhao(only because I played the demo)
Damn, double the playtime it took me to beat it😱 Lady E was the first boss who made me rethink my jade build multiple times to get some sort of an edge. Are you including or excluding your struggles with Yinzhao from the demo?
@@Caliboyjosh10 excluding🥲 if not then Ji might be the less attempted one. And maybe I am wrong but I think when someone is taking the effort of recording, enjoying and commenting the gameplay then the time must be more extended than someone who is only playing it, haha sorry to bring the time topic, didn't mean to make comparisons.
I knew it, fudging the numbers in your favor, lol. The editing took 120+ hours to make this one, when the game only took 33 hours. Always worth it for the GOTY ones, though.
Their is a Music Video that shows Yi floating in space but on the ending of the music Video Yi opens up his eye's literally in space meaning it's possible that may have a future Sequel the same Rules in life one story ends and another one begins. one door close and another one opens.
As much as I would love a sequel, Yi sacrificing himself to save Shaun would lose it's impact if he survived. The roots was also the thing that kept reviving him, so what would bring him back then? That said, if they found a way to make another banger story within the Nine Sols universe somehow, I will be there 100%. The game is gonna blow up over the next few years, so people are gonna want more just like Hollow Knight and Silksong.
@@wave-zd5sm no, but I might stream them for Halloween as I need to comply a list to prepare for that. They went to the top of the list after playing Nine Sols for sure.
@@Caliboyjosh10 Glad to hear that! Both Detention and Devotion are psychologically horror, but with very different type of stories. Looking forward to your play through❤️
From one of the last heng messages, yyou can find out that they did not take all of the fusang roots in new kunlun, but there were some left on penglai, so Yi might just respawn there and be like "... Well, shit" kinda ending up like Ji that was forced to live basically alone, with really few friends
Hopefully, I wasn't the only one dancing, I wouldn't want to look like an idiot. Also, the follow-up Elden Ring video is gonna take a long time, as it is not easy, nor fun to make a negative video, so stay tuned for that.
Dude you are so much better than me! Lady ethereal took me prolly close to 60 attempts 🤣 def 10/10 game. Check out Grime if you get a chance for more parrying goodness and storytelling horror. Dance moves are fire 🔥🔥🔥
I might be better in games, but not so in dancing, glad you found it entertaining. I heard that Grime got a sequel, so I'll definitely check them both at some point. That game flew under my radar, but it seems to be a blessing as it got 3 years of updates and now currently on sale :) How much did Eigong destroy you and your sanity?
@ for some reason Eigong was not as difficult. I play in very short chunks like 3-7 attempts per play session, because I can't be throwing controllers against the wall too often 😁 so when I start fresh, brain has had more time to build new connections or something. Also there was less aerial bs and to this day I have no clue how to tell the spirit form from the real lady ethereal 🤦♂️ I'm so jealous you are gonna play grime for the first time, it's the first game I n+ 😅
@@roankai I don't remember if I mentioned it in the video, but it also did take me a while to find out that the non-shadowed face was the real Ethereal. That added up to alot of failures too Eignong was the only fight that I couldn't beat in one session, didn't help me get better though during those breaks 🤣 After Elden Ring disappointing me, I'm excited to see if Grime's parry-driven combat can deliver on the challenge
I hope to return to Elden Ring one day. Most of the fights were boring and too easy when going from Nine Sols for some reason. I heard people say the Elden Ring DLC was harder than the base game. I wish the base game was shorter so I could get there and get my ass beat by all the crazy boss fights in the later half of the game and it's expansion. I love getting dominated by bosses, it was the first game From Software where that didn't happen and it made me sad :(
Holy shit this guys underrated. The editing?? The song choice??? The dedication to the various bits??? You made me cry all over again over this game with that end segment, big ups to you.
Love the video, and the dancing part's fire 🔥
Thanks, I hope you were dancing along too

Thank you for this entertaining review!
I really like your editing style, and I hope your channel continues to grow!
Thank you, I'm always improving my style.
Glad you liked my nearly hour long review thing.
Guys I beat all the Elden ring bosses, but apparently it’s baby tier so I’m really not that good
I know you're joking, but I was actually disappointed in how easy the fights were after going from Nines Sols to Elden Ring.
