Don’t worry, the rot thing isn’t a glitch, there’s actually an ash of war that does the same thing (poison flower blooms twice, I think it’s called), does a lot of damage if they have rot or poison, but removes the status effect
The poison flower is a really nice ash to use l. The are some other ashes that do a similar effect but with this u can apply poison with a weapon and the ashes can apply rot damage.
if you were curious it does all the rot or poison damage you would've accumulated after the attack at once, that's why you wanna use it as soon as you poison or rot. considering a poison build with it after learning that.
13:58 that was intentional! That flying, spinning dive attack was her version of "the poison flower blooms twice" ash, the ash remove poison/rot to deals a huge amount of damage on hit
The O'Mother hint is a dev message slab next to the statue with a cryptic message pointing to shamsns, which the only other place that mentions shamans is a Bonny Village white shade. It's also where you find the gesture. It's very obtuse hint if you don't explore and note things down.
@@DoomWolfOfficial the message literally says have mercy for the shamans or something close to the word mercy. but yeah overall its absolute cryptic bullshit
i made the mistake of changing my build just before the fight and ended up fighting him with a poison infused dane´s footwork took me about 2 days to kill him like that with like 6 hours of attempts total (i regret every decision that led to that point)
To anyone curious and to Doom Wolf himself, to dodge the laser thing from Metyr you need to go between the ... area of constant death around metyr and the lasers, there's a gap between where they hit and where the circle starts(it's small though)
This video was how I learned you can ride Torrent on the Rain of Fire bridge. I never thought to do that because you're still technically IN the Shadow Keep
I have a habit of holding triangle (torrent is in the pocket) anytime I find an outdoor space to see if he becomes available, otherwise I probably wouldn't have thought about it lol
Don't worry guys, Alexander does NOT have a meat monstrosity inside him. That is an entirely different cultural thing going on exclusively in the Shadow Lands. They have horrifying shaman meat blobs there, in the Lands Between they just store corpses and kind of let the warriors inside continue fighting (Alex can use Redmane stuff when he stores Redmanes inside him)
I KNEW IT! I've had this theory, that, the one Potentate, who Jar-Bairn talks about all the time, came from the Land of Shadows, he grew appalled from the methods that they were currently using, and left his birthplace, and arrived in the Lands Between, and created the honorable and kind Jar Culture that WE know so well, and, while searching for a far-away, safe place (hopefully), found that abandoned village, and named it Jar-Burg! OH, I forgot to put this, but, I think he had help leaving the Land of Shadows, because getting to it, and/or leave, is NOT easy, from Queen Marika, in exchange for something! Over the many millillena, this unknown Potentate's peaceful and Warrior's Honor Jar Culture became twisted by war, but, our little Jar-Bairn, talks about him to our Tarnished, and remember's him the best that he can, so what this ONE Potentate, who left his birthplace, and came to the Lands Between, to try to create something better, and his, as Jar-Bairn puts it, his "slick, slidey hands", and the "gentle way that he pats them!' MAN, I thought I was the only one who thought of that!
14:00 Rominas sting attack has the same effect like Poison Moth flight where if it hits you while poisened, or in this case rotted, it will deal extra damage and remove the effect
To dodge Metyrs laser attack, stop lock on and pay attention to where the laser is hitting in the ground. Theres a gap between the damage AOE around Metyr and the impact area of the laser, which you can just walk through.
Did my first dlc run on ng+ 1, radahn took me about 10 hours, played a day banging my head against the wall, the next day beat him in 3rd try, that was cathartic after getting my ass beaten for 6 hours straight the day before
me too, some of them probably wont because like...dagger only (although, that's meme enough maybe I will idk lol), but the harder ones I want to. not looking forward to no walking lol
I did, glad you saw it too, a couple people commented "did you know from actually made a horror game?" but didn't see that I slide it into frame (probably just listening to the audio, which is fair haha)
5:45 In Moorth Ruins I believe is what it’s called, you can go past where you jumped down and there’s a different entrance that doesn’t require you to do any parkour.
Do people not like the area? I think it's great! I mean...it's a bit big for no torrent on subsequent playthroughs and okay there isn't a whole lot there, but the atmosphere is great!
first of all, wake up babe, new doom wolf video now, the rot heal is pretty much works like poison moth flight/poison flower blooms twice, where you deal a lot of damage after using it but clears the status effect.
3:19 I have played through this dlc 3 times and I'm obsessed, also the final boss you referring to, had me go to fighting malenia to feel better, in all of my dlc playthroughs it took one 9 tries, and the other first try. my first (blind) playthrough was a duel thorn whip strength build named octoman named so because I killed a single octopus and got to octopus helms, I thought it was fate and became OCTOMAN PROTECTOR OF THE MEEK, it devolved pretty fast at the final boss causing me to go giant crusher with the Jolan and Anna summon, won in about a week, the dlc took me about 80 hours though most of that was the boss, after beating it I decided to give this character the age of fracture ending, out of spite. my second playthrough was a gargoyle black blade build, which side note fashion for it is so hard! I settlde pre dlc with the twinned helm bloodhound knight chestpiece and greaves and finally the blackflame gauntlets, though at the final boss my desire for light load and keeping 150 levels to set some boundaries for myself, I went with the high page hat, the divine beast armor, common soldier gauntlets to match with the divine beast armor, and the vagabond greaves, for the nice weight to poise ratio, then got the frenzied flame quest done beat malenia (11th try for this one) saved my maiden, cured myself and killed placidusax second try, and was then left with a nice 0 weight seal for me to use and maintain my light load like seriously even with 60 endurance this was close, took me two days to beat the final boss on this one, with this characters canonical wife black knife tiche, because on the winning run her 10% reduction of the bosses health mixed with her last bit of health allowing her to sacrifice herself and tank the meteor attack, saving my no healing flask left life, took me about 40 hours this time though still mostly the boss, mixed with me knowing what I'm doing proceeded to beat the game with the character beating all bosses left in my way first try and getting the age of the duskborn ending. 3rd playthrough, (don't do this one) was a dragon communion build and it took me 12 hours to beat it, getting the dragon body from the painting, allowing me to use the blue dancer charm mixed with the lightning buff, double communion seals, and the incantation buff talismans, I beat Malenia first try and the dlc final boss fourth try, don't use this build as it makes all the fun bosses a coin flip, less skill, summon was oleg ma boi, and I used no lords divine fortification this time, which might be improvement, or the fact that dragon communion is overpowered in the worst kind of way. Now I'm going to try a vergil build, cause this dlc is making me feel a little MOTIVATED 5:03 that is quite literally the best innuendo I've ever heard for asking someone to sit on your face, i didn't realize it until like 15 seconds later, take the like you madman 17:43 one last thing before I go, I love this boss, it's so good, and I will never dishonor it by using my sekiro skills to turn it into a joke, I just don't have the heart to
those are some awesome build ideas! I actually plan on doing dragon communion only because I did that in the base game, maybe not soon though haha glad you liked the joke, I thought it was clever :P I might do a sekiro in elden ring video one day, so I will have to spontaneous counter with a katana lol
Glad you like them :) I haven't gotten to play with a lot of them, but big katanas are cool, just in general, and I like the beast claw moveset but idk how useful it will be haha
The Pierce thing acts like the ash of war called the poison flower blooms twice with when it hits take off the status effect of rot and poison and causes an explosion that would do the total damage of ether rot or poison
Actually, i found out something that catches many people off guard about the dlc, in where they believe that it is ng+ scaling, but it actually scales with your level, which is a pretty cool mechanic (I know this for certain as I tested it with friends, I was lv510 & they were around 350 on same ng+ with wildly different healthbars & damage)
I..feel like if that were true it would mean RL1 base NG would be way easier? I mean noticeably so lol, I do know I was on NG+4 and my friends were on NG, we were getting 2, 3, 4 shot by the same thing, the only difference is my bosses had like 8 times as much health lol
For Metyr, Mother of Fingers dual beam attack, you just have to run the same direction it's moving, it's very slow so easily out ran. I've found that the only way it'll catch you with this method is if the beam starts *very* close to you, other than that, it worked for me everytime. Hope that helps.
Man, I did MINE with a NG+7, Level 505, Vergil w/no Mods, (PS5, lol!) Build! RIght now, I'm on my THIRD run of the DLC, just going around, and getting stuf! OH, I also beat my NG+6 AND 7 Main Game runs with this Character too! Malenia got DESTROYED, BOTH times by him, lol! You should have SEEN, how both those fights went down! F-ING AWESOME! I didn't know this shield even EXISTED, until last night, when I was on this other Elden Ring YT Channel, and saw him using THIS, so, I HAD to grab this myself!
For the Mother of Fingers laser beam attack, you just walk towards her until you get to the edge of the AOE under her. The lasers pass right over you and you can just put your controller down for 10 seconds at that point
Alexander isn't the same as the ones in the Shadow Realm. It's because in the other realm they've used unique specimen that enables the weird things we see
@@DoomWolfOfficialyeah in base game it's sentient jars that get memories from dead bodies, in shadow lands they are tortured shamans with corpses attached
For the record on finger mother you dodge the singulairty lazor attack by watching the spin and staying near the boss. Depending on the timing of the rotation there is space between the aoe around the boss and lazor forming a safe ring. So if you run around the boss in the Safe ring you can avoid the lazor because it only dips into the safe zone every so often.
8:38 well, the message says something about asking for forgiveness. When you get Messmer to phase 2, he says "O' mother, forgive me" this is a statue of Marika, so you use "O' mother" and ask for forgiveness from Marika. tbh i just tried using the gesture cuz that's the only other new gesture i got and the statue looked sus to me
I can't remember what the message says, something about shamans haha, but a couple people have mentioned that the shaman village has the toothy whip which talks about shamans, and the o mother gesture. So, while still cryptic, I see the connection now lol
I wish deathblight did anything in PvE at all, it would have been cool if it was explored more, there is at least one boss in the dlc that uses it but it's not any kind of focus haha
Today I beat the DLC with 15scadute blessings and 10 ash blessings all bosses with mimic by this point I had no problem just within 30 tries they all fell but that last 3h of hell it's like Miyazaki said "how many attacks do you want per 1cm square ? yes please" .......it's unbelievable that you're so capable and other people like Bushy Gino Aggy etc. .... and even those who don't make public appearances. I bow down
Omfg I feel so stupid for never figuring out how Scadutree Avatar’s HP worked. I never put it together that getting the Riposte started each phase with less HP so it felt inconsistent as to whether it not each it started with full HP or 75% HP.
9:23 I actually know how to dodge this! You just need to find the sweet spot between Metyr herself and the lasers, its tight but its doable, probably would've been an incredible damage window for this run.
For the hole in the ground that you took to go to the Potentate Village, there's an other hole next to it that you can parkour just to access it aswell The Ray Attack of the Mother of Finger can be dodged by going next to her and running under the ray as Its in an angle.
Alexander is a Lands Between Jar, which means he carries the remains of dead warriors. Shadowland Jars, however, carry the mutilated corpses of the shamans, Marika's people
I believe the Romina thing might be intentional, as it pretty much is the effect of the ash of war "the poison flower blooms twice", which summons a dagger under your foot and then drives it into the opponent, doing big rot (or poison I can't really remember) buildup, if the opponent is hit again while under the effect of either rot or poison the ash of war will do big damage instead, so Romina could be programmed to have the AOW effect on at all times, but who knows I'm not a dev.
The DLC actually has a hidden scaling factor to accommodate people who play it for the first time on an NG+ cycle. Basically, if you've never entered the DLC on a lower NG cycle, the scaling of enemies and bosses will be much gentler, to account for the fact that you don't have any Scadutree blessings yet. NG+4 is probably still a bad call for your first time, though.
I thought the DLC scaling only applied _after_ beating the final DLC boss, then any subsequent playthroughs had it ramp up (in other words i had the 'normal' DLC scaling, just NG+4 scaling )
I've never hid from those madness enemies I always fought them. Maybe because the first one I found didn't have that hint about hiding so I thought you HAD to fight him lmao
@@DoomWolfOfficial yeah, however I went from the side of the church and killed the one that drops the talisman. From what I've seen there are no warnings by him
The character I took into the dlc I beat the base game (all rememberances) in just over 32 hours. After all remembrances in the dlc I ended up at just over 80.
Given the fact that the dlc also added the ash of war "The poison flower blooms twice" which is basiclly just poison moth flight 2.0, my guess would be that that mechanic with Romina was intentional.
@@DoomWolfOfficial Ngl I hadn't even considered they might have added it because of Romina, but seeing as you find it in a area infested with her pink pests, I guess it makes sense :P
Totally fair my friend! I avoided all videos (and youtube as whole) when it dropped to make sure I wouldn't be spoiled either haha, the video will be here when you are ready :)
For the Metyr Laser attack, if you time it right you can follow the first laser’s path to avoid it and go between the center aoe and the second laser to dodge it!
Has it been nerfed? If not it kinda needs to be, as much as I don't want that to happen, it's kinda absolutely broken in PvE, and a nuisance in PvP (I've been told lol)
I completed the DLC on bese NG, then went in with a NG+7. I quickly gave up, just collected the map and some early fragments and went another NG+ round to have a scadutree lvl8 headstart and it finally became playable then. I still had to use the Carian Thrusting Shield to beat Radahn because I'm not Peeve Peeverson to waste 70+hours of my life against him.
@@DoomWolfOfficial I always get hit by the first attack of the lazerbut after that if you follow the lazer it cant hit you a second time. Idk how to dodge the first
I can't believe how long it took me to beat the DLC on my first character, but that damn NPC fight at the end took 6 fucking hours of my time I want back
@DoomWolfOfficial it's worse for me. I was on a spellblade build, ng+2 against a 2v5 gank. That shit did not end well. Also hornsent has this really cool one shot attack l
I started the DLC on NG+5 and the only reason I got through it was because of my trusty bleed-infused Guts greatsword with Giant Hunt, the breaker of all stances, on it (yeah, you’re definitely right, at that point, the bosses just have way too much health for it to feel natural anymore) Also, the way I found to dodge Metyr’s laser…is to just not try at all. There’s a slight space in between the damaging pool of flame that she summons beneath her and the lasers, so if you stand in it, you won’t get clipped. I’m sure there must be a way to roll through it, but the timing is so strict that for a person like me, it’s impossible
For Metyr, the best way I found to dodge her duel laser attack is to get as close to her as possible without stepping into the AOE she has under her. That’s the strat I used for when I finally beat her.
Thos dlc added so many cool weapons cant wait to see what u make. I am personally loving the thrusting shield with throwing daggers for a gd ranged option.
I'm sure there'll be a lot of Discus-ion about this run...
lmao, they will have to craft their words carefully, as if they are smithing their sentences! ...i'll leave the wordplay to you :P
Best convo I've seen in while lmfao.
Frankly, doing an entire run like this sounds Discus-ting.
This pun-gimmick just isn't funny to anyone over 80 IQ.
It’s as if you smith your script… I’ll shield you from my humor
Don’t worry, the rot thing isn’t a glitch, there’s actually an ash of war that does the same thing (poison flower blooms twice, I think it’s called), does a lot of damage if they have rot or poison, but removes the status effect
interesting! I was discussing this with other runners, and they agreed that is probably the case haha
The poison flower is a really nice ash to use l. The are some other ashes that do a similar effect but with this u can apply poison with a weapon and the ashes can apply rot damage.
You know what they say! Sometimes feeling the pain can be pleasura- wait wait... No no no.
Glad someone said it
if you were curious it does all the rot or poison damage you would've accumulated after the attack at once, that's why you wanna use it as soon as you poison or rot. considering a poison build with it after learning that.

It's very obtuse hint if you don't explore and note things down.
I got it because the whole thing kinda sounds like some kind of prayer
"Oh Mother, have mercy for the spirited-away shamans"
I saw that message, but had no idea the village was related to shamans lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial the message literally says have mercy for the shamans or something close to the word mercy. but yeah overall its absolute cryptic bullshit
Surprised to see how effective this little shield could be. Still... the thought of taking on the final boss with it instantly made me hurl 🤮
I tried taking the final boss on with smithscript Cirque for memes and I regretted it. However I did do it after a few million tries 😂
haha yeah, the idea of doing _any_ run that ends in that final boss..it scares me lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial I usually just ignore him now and don't even bother.
i made the mistake of changing my build just before the fight and ended up fighting him with a poison infused dane´s footwork took me about 2 days to kill him like that with like 6 hours of attempts total (i regret every decision that led to that point)
@@darki3372 I just switched my build to shield poking him with the blood infused cancer rapier.
The DLC took me 45 hours. But I explored everything without a wiki.
All I knew was that there were 10 remembrance bosses.
...and CURSE YOU BAYLE!!!
Lol that's some good time though! Especially if you found 100% of the stuff! Got your money's worth!

Hope you liked it :)
I can't watch this yet because the playthrough im watching isn't done yet but yay!! I'm so excited to watch this when I'm able to!

@@DoomWolfOfficial you don't understand how bummed I am that I can't watch this right now though, I gotta get my doom fix and yet I cannot??????
Romina's dive bomb looks a lot like "The Poison Flower Blooms Twice" which removes Poison and Rot and does a chunk of a damage to you.
yes that appears to be the case! haha now I know!
I'm glad that I was playing online with that statue puzzle, because there was a message there that literally showed me the gesture I had to do.
That's fair, I always play offline so I don't see extra hints like that haha
Bro's playing as the "Earth with that one manhole cover" the build, hell yeah
they never saw it coming, literally, it was too fast, it just obliterated them lol

3:19 I have played through this dlc 3 times and I'm obsessed, also the final boss you referring to, had me go to fighting malenia to feel better, in all of my dlc playthroughs it took one 9 tries, and the other first try.
my first (blind) playthrough was a duel thorn whip strength build named octoman named so because I killed a single octopus and got to octopus helms, I thought it was fate and became OCTOMAN PROTECTOR OF THE MEEK, it devolved pretty fast at the final boss causing me to go giant crusher with the Jolan and Anna summon, won in about a week, the dlc took me about 80 hours though most of that was the boss, after beating it I decided to give this character the age of fracture ending, out of spite.
my second playthrough was a gargoyle black blade build, which side note fashion for it is so hard!

Now I'm going to try a vergil build, cause this dlc is making me feel a little MOTIVATED

Rellana wants to make her papa pontiff proud, i think shes one of the coolest bosses
I agree she's a pretty cool boss
For Metyr, Mother of Fingers dual beam attack, you just have to run the same direction it's moving, it's very slow so easily out ran. I've found that the only way it'll catch you with this method is if the beam starts *very* close to you, other than that, it worked for me everytime.
Hope that helps.
thanks i'll have to try it!
You can also stand really close and the laser will miss you 😁
What a good way to start off the weekend!
Hope you enjoyed it :)
very quickly became my favorite youtuber
Thanks my friend, I'm glad you like the videos :)
bro, u should be more famous, this is quality video right here
Thanks my friend, I'm glad you enjoy the videos :)
Man, I did MINE with a NG+7, Level 505, Vergil w/no Mods, (PS5, lol!) Build! RIght now, I'm on my THIRD run of the DLC, just going around, and getting stuf! OH, I also beat my NG+6 AND 7 Main Game runs with this Character too! Malenia got DESTROYED, BOTH times by him, lol! You should have SEEN, how both those fights went down! F-ING AWESOME! I didn't know this shield even EXISTED, until last night, when I was on this other Elden Ring YT Channel, and saw him using THIS, so, I HAD to grab this myself!
Ng+7 oof that's rough haha nice Job though!
For the Mother of Fingers laser beam attack, you just walk towards her until you get to the edge of the AOE under her. The lasers pass right over you and you can just put your controller down for 10 seconds at that point
lol, break time, interesting
Alexander isn't the same as the ones in the Shadow Realm. It's because in the other realm they've used unique specimen that enables the weird things we see
Welp...at least I gave him a warriors death haha
@@DoomWolfOfficialyeah in base game it's sentient jars that get memories from dead bodies, in shadow lands they are tortured shamans with corpses attached
Let’s goo you come back and drop a banger 🔥
Glad you liked it :)
That borderline undodgeable attack is doable if you stay on his right or left side at all times. One of the first two attacks will guaranteed miss
hmm maybe I should try dodging in the direction I already am instead of crossing him up, pun intended lol
"Closest we're gonna get to a FromSoft horror game"
REMAKE ECHO NIGHT BEYOND!
I actually haven't heard of this one lol
For the record on finger mother you dodge the singulairty lazor attack by watching the spin and staying near the boss. Depending on the timing of the rotation there is space between the aoe around the boss and lazor forming a safe ring. So if you run around the boss in the Safe ring you can avoid the lazor because it only dips into the safe zone every so often.
Cool! Thanks for the tip :)
My first playthrough of the dlc was ng+7
That's rough buddy haha
8:38 well, the message says something about asking for forgiveness.
When you get Messmer to phase 2, he says "O' mother, forgive me"
this is a statue of Marika, so you use "O' mother" and ask for forgiveness from Marika.
tbh i just tried using the gesture cuz that's the only other new gesture i got and the statue looked sus to me
I can't remember what the message says, something about shamans haha, but a couple people have mentioned that the shaman village has the toothy whip which talks about shamans, and the o mother gesture. So, while still cryptic, I see the connection now lol
I would have missed the cerulean coast but I'm like it's there. Idk what it is but its there.
That's fair, just open the map like "there is something there, I must discover it!"
Ngl i am a bit disappointed that death blight is never brought up in this dlc.
Heres hoping for the next one
I wish deathblight did anything in PvE at all, it would have been cool if it was explored more, there is at least one boss in the dlc that uses it but it's not any kind of focus haha
Hello, been hoping for this, captain America shall go on!!!
indeed, the true cap run can exist now haha
Today I beat the DLC with 15scadute blessings and 10 ash blessings all bosses with mimic by this point I had no problem just within 30 tries they all fell but that last 3h of hell it's like Miyazaki said "how many attacks do you want per 1cm square ? yes please" .......it's unbelievable that you're so capable and other people like Bushy Gino Aggy etc. .... and even those who don't make public appearances. I bow down
Haha we have a lot of time on our hands, but also yeah Miyazaki really jsut said "all of the arena" when asked the amount of attacks he wanted
Omfg I feel so stupid for never figuring out how Scadutree Avatar’s HP worked. I never put it together that getting the Riposte started each phase with less HP so it felt inconsistent as to whether it not each it started with full HP or 75% HP.
Haha yeah, idk why they bothered to do that, like why not just start it at the same hp regardless
9:23 I actually know how to dodge this! You just need to find the sweet spot between Metyr herself and the lasers, its tight but its doable, probably would've been an incredible damage window for this run.
Oh thanks for the tip!!
Greatest thumbnail of all time???
lmao, glad you like it :)
For the hole in the ground that you took to go to the Potentate Village, there's an other hole next to it that you can parkour just to access it aswell
The Ray Attack of the Mother of Finger can be dodged by going next to her and running under the ray as Its in an angle.
thanks for the tips! both of em! haha
You, sir, are a Hero!
(yup, I'm from that Demon's Souls video of JK)
Thanks! But we both know jk Leeds is the true hero, I just have deep pockets :)
Alexander is a Lands Between Jar, which means he carries the remains of dead warriors.
Shadowland Jars, however, carry the mutilated corpses of the shamans, Marika's people
man, the lore of this game is...something else lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial Technically they aren't corpses, but then their fate is even worse than death
I believe the Romina thing might be intentional, as it pretty much is the effect of the ash of war "the poison flower blooms twice", which summons a dagger under your foot and then drives it into the opponent, doing big rot (or poison I can't really remember) buildup, if the opponent is hit again while under the effect of either rot or poison the ash of war will do big damage instead, so Romina could be programmed to have the AOW effect on at all times, but who knows I'm not a dev.
I think it is too, because of that AoW mostly haha
The DLC actually has a hidden scaling factor to accommodate people who play it for the first time on an NG+ cycle. Basically, if you've never entered the DLC on a lower NG cycle, the scaling of enemies and bosses will be much gentler, to account for the fact that you don't have any Scadutree blessings yet. NG+4 is probably still a bad call for your first time, though.
I thought the DLC scaling only applied _after_ beating the final DLC boss, then any subsequent playthroughs had it ramp up (in other words i had the 'normal' DLC scaling, just NG+4 scaling )
13:59
Romina used a skill that you can use in Ash of War (The Poison Flower Blooms Twice).
It consumes the Rot/Poison Deals it in full +75%
Yeah, these seems to be it! Pretty cool we actually got the boss variant and not a watered down version hah
This weapon is quite the throw of a bone for puns
true haha
For the drop question, there are two pits in the Moorth ruins, and the other is shallower and connected to the same tunnel system.
Thanks for the tip!
Don't worry, Alexander is proud to have fallen to you, there's no shame in giving him the glorious battle he seeks
this is true and makes me feel better about it lol
I've never hid from those madness enemies I always fought them. Maybe because the first one I found didn't have that hint about hiding so I thought you HAD to fight him lmao
Aren't there like 4 warnings on the ground when you get into the area? haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial yeah, however I went from the side of the church and killed the one that drops the talisman. From what I've seen there are no warnings by him
to quote the souls community at the moment: "CURSE YOU BAYLE!"
Best summon lol
The character I took into the dlc I beat the base game (all rememberances) in just over 32 hours. After all remembrances in the dlc I ended up at just over 80.
Nice! Good times!
"Best dragon fight" I saw that "erm acshually he's a wyvern". he's literally named as a Drake. like in game. by the dragon priestess
This is getting less comments than I thought it would, even less than the Kuon bit lmao
Given the fact that the dlc also added the ash of war "The poison flower blooms twice" which is basiclly just poison moth flight 2.0, my guess would be that that mechanic with Romina was intentional.
neat, I like that they let us have the actual attack and not a different version of it haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial Ngl I hadn't even considered they might have added it because of Romina, but seeing as you find it in a area infested with her pink pests, I guess it makes sense :P
I really wanna see the video but I've haven't finished the DLC yet and I don't want spoilers so imma drop a like and come back later 😅
Totally fair my friend! I avoided all videos (and youtube as whole) when it dropped to make sure I wouldn't be spoiled either haha, the video will be here when you are ready :)
I also started my DLC on NG+4. It started out really bat but got a lot better as I increased my blessing levels
nice, I ended with 15 blessings so I missed a few but struggled for most of it haha
on my first playthrough I spent 40 hours on the new dlc on new game plus 1, wasn't dying a whole ton but I explored absolutely everything
nice, got your money worth my friend!
Fun fact the Shadow Jars and Lands Between Jars are apparently different with the shadow ones being more sinister
well, now I can't justify my alexander fight lol
My first time was ng +5. It was a mistake and caused far more pain than it should, but it made me appreciate the DLC so much more.
lol at least you appreciated it, I felt it was too much a slog. enjoyed NG wayy more
I can only Imagine what pain the new radahn will inflict in future challenge runs
I just keep thinking about needing to do it without walking and it hurts. Lol
Now THIS is a man who disc golfs!
good one!
For the Metyr Laser attack, if you time it right you can follow the first laser’s path to avoid it and go between the center aoe and the second laser to dodge it!
neat, thanks for the tip!
oh how i wish that shield would not be nerfed. it's beautiful to see a shield SO GOOD.
Has it been nerfed? If not it kinda needs to be, as much as I don't want that to happen, it's kinda absolutely broken in PvE, and a nuisance in PvP (I've been told lol)
@@DoomWolfOfficial no idea, but I don't honestly care. it's nice to see the discus toss actually do something in game.
That attack that Romina does is meant to cure you if it hits but it instantly does all the poison damage.
neat, I like it lol
Doom is a good boy
Thanks :)
The Metyr fight reminds me of the Ebrietas fight from Bloodborne.
Boss design wise I could see it haha
The mental illness, so I did a NG+7 to start off with😊
Mood lol
I don’t know why people think higher new games means more challenge if you learned the enemies patterns once you can beat them on any new game
I completed the DLC on bese NG, then went in with a NG+7. I quickly gave up, just collected the map and some early fragments and went another NG+ round to have a scadutree lvl8 headstart and it finally became playable then. I still had to use the Carian Thrusting Shield to beat Radahn because I'm not Peeve Peeverson to waste 70+hours of my life against him.
There's a safe space between the AoE under Metyr and her spinning laser
Thanks for the tip!
7:00 is that the orphan of Kos!?
haha does have a similar look and weapon huh!
For the lazer attack of metys you have to position yourself between the shockwave she is sending and the lazer, that way she cant hit you
I am bad at the game, I tried this yesterday, didn't work lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial I always get hit by the first attack of the lazerbut after that if you follow the lazer it cant hit you a second time. Idk how to dodge the first
1:19 Because that’s what ‘Merika was built on ;3
Maybe not so much the INT though 😂
lol, I see what you did there
I can't believe how long it took me to beat the DLC on my first character, but that damn NPC fight at the end took 6 fucking hours of my time I want back
Lol yeah, I usually suck at pvp fights, I lucked out on this as they had no idea how to dodge the actual projectile haha
@DoomWolfOfficial it's worse for me. I was on a spellblade build, ng+2 against a 2v5 gank. That shit did not end well. Also hornsent has this really cool one shot attack l
I started the DLC on NG+5 and the only reason I got through it was because of my trusty bleed-infused Guts greatsword with Giant Hunt, the breaker of all stances, on it (yeah, you’re definitely right, at that point, the bosses just have way too much health for it to feel natural anymore)
Also, the way I found to dodge Metyr’s laser…is to just not try at all. There’s a slight space in between the damaging pool of flame that she summons beneath her and the lasers, so if you stand in it, you won’t get clipped. I’m sure there must be a way to roll through it, but the timing is so strict that for a person like me, it’s impossible
basically same, I ran with my duel katana build because man, they had way too much health lol. and neat! thanks for the tip!
for the lasers during the metyr fight you can stand under the taller end of the lasers near closer to where she’s in the air and they don’t hit you
I'll have to try that, thanks!
The clone attack from Radahn gets harder to dodge because at lower health he adds a fifth clone in instead of the four
does he really? I'll have to check again lol
For Metyr, the best way I found to dodge her duel laser attack is to get as close to her as possible without stepping into the AOE she has under her. That’s the strat I used for when I finally beat her.
a couple other people have mentioned that, i'll have to try!
Big laser beam attack from Metyr: run with it, close to her (no so close that you get hit by the JoJo aura).
thanks for the tip!
Thos dlc added so many cool weapons cant wait to see what u make. I am personally loving the thrusting shield with throwing daggers for a gd ranged option.
I'm excited to try out all the new toys haha
