"Rya doesnt know what the Volcano Manor does" "I am Rya, in the service of Lady Tanith of the Volcano Manor. I seek stalwart Tarnished who might join our house. You are very brave yourself. Not only a steady hand, but a steady heart, merciless, even to your own kind. Such strength is precisely what my mistress seeks. Please, take this." huh?
She thinks she's just recruiting blasphemous champions and marks with info (like Diallos about his brother). She doesn't know about the hidden places or who her dad is. *Spoiler* When she finds out about the hidden town of torture and glutinous, selfish blasphemy.... she wants you to kill her xD and thinks you're kind for giving her a a memory erasing potion.
@plasmiusphantom she wants you to kill her because of her unceremonious birth. She doesn't care about the murder. Hell, the only reason she cares about the town is because Tannith lied to her.
13:00 she literally says "if you have any qualms with killing your own, then I shall find another" she WANTS you to kill. Its implied she intentionally got her necklace stolen to find a tarnished who she could recruit.
She additionally conceals that she's from the Manor until AFTER you give her the necklace, and says "Not only a steady hand but a steady heart, merciless, even to your own kind." She doesn't know about what Rykard did and the snake town, but she knows the Manor kills tarnished.
@@skvaderarts7009 Yeah, she says confronting. The full quote for this part: "That thug made off with a precious necklace. I need someone to retrieve it. Only... He, too, is Tarnished. If you've any qualms confronting your own, I shall find another..." When you hand her the necklace she says: "Oh, yes, that is my missing necklace. Thank you kindly. I am in your debt. Did I forget to announce myself? I am Rya, in the service of Lady Tanith of the Volcano Manor. I seek stalwart Tarnished who might join our house. You are very brave yourself. Not only a steady hand, but a steady heart, merciless, even to your own kind. Such strength is precisely what my mistress seeks. Please, take this." I will say the 'merciless even to your own kind' part implied she was looking for a merciless killer which was exactly what volcano manor looks for. While Rya seems very out of the loop on a lot of the lore, she also seems to understand her assignment and has done it often enough she's got a routine for getting folks to Volcano Manor.
Crucially, she doesn't ask you to kill Boggart. It's important, for the Manor's recruitment policy, that you make that decision of your own volition. (Just like how Boggart made the choice to rob her!) She does *assume* you killed him even if you bought the talisman, which speaks volumes about the company she keeps, but she never requests it.
Yeah, she absolutely does know what Volcano Manor does. I mean, I love that little snake girl, but she GREW UP there. Seriously Tulok, grow up. It´s impossible she doe snot know this. It is what these guys do day-to-day. Also it is her job to scout people willing to fuck up other Tarnished. And by the way, saying 'bitch' does not make Boggart a misogynist. He is just an ASSHOLE. He has the same dialogue for male and female players and once you know him he is kinda buddy buddy. He just is a broken person that insults people and uses abusive language. An asshole ? Yes. Does he hate women ? 'Marika´s TITS' no ! He hates everyone. My hot take here. Everyone except people who like prawn/crab. Also, I thought he was very rude and killed him the first time I met the guy. And I THOUGHT I was meant to do that - EVERYBODY does think that, since Snake Girl told us to get the necklace in a certain way. Obviously she expected you to kill him, and looky here I did. I never kill NPCs, not even the trader in DS 2 (althoug the outfit gives you bonus souls from grinding...) But I thought you are MEANT to kill him. Silly me ! On my next char I found out you are not needed to. Intended by Hidetaka, and intended by Rya. Facts.
Hey Phil, since you debated my comment on the Boggart video I just want to say I see why you think Boggart is a misogynist. I still find it hard but that's due to me being a woman and befriending the guy, so it feels hard to call him that because of my own experiences with him. Rya is still totally scouting for Manor recruits though (Why do you think her title is Scout?), she literally says that it's good that you are able to kill other Tarnished. She just doesn't know about the Manor's secret snake town, she does know about the killing.
What does boggart say that's misogynist? I checked the wiki and all he seemed to say was Rya was stupid for being tricked by him when he got the necklace. But the wiki bleeped out a lot of his swearing so I figured maybe it wasn't transcribed, but checking in game, he called her lucky and stupid. Now I'm thinking the dialogue was updated at some point cause I cant find what he said for the life of me. The closest I can find is him calling the player a swine for first refusing his to buy the necklace from him then changing their mind.
I love Rya and wish there was an ending for her but I actually like this interpretation because it gives her a bit of complexity besides uwu smol bean. As for Boggart, idk, if I realized that a little necklace I stole was actually a trap laid for me I might call the person a b*tch too, regardless of their gender. Where I don't agree with Tulok is I don't really feel like hating woman is a strong character trait of Boggart--he can say some misogynistic things at times, sure, but I don't think that really defines him as a person.
Yeah, she absolutely does know what Volcano Manor does. I mean, I love that little snake girl, but she GREW UP there. Seriously Tulok, get a grip. It´s impossible she does not know this. It is what these guys do day-to-day. Also it is her job to scout people willing to fuck up other Tarnished. And by the way, saying 'bitch' does not make Boggart a misogynist. He is just an ASSHOLE.

The nuance talk about the prison system and the difference between misanthropy here is super appreciated. I really do hope you can keep the energy for some of these bits. One important part of lore on the Omen set- The Dung Eater armor isn't specified to be an from an Omen. I am only bringing this up because some of the text on the armor mentions this: "Malformed helm resembling an Omen with its horns cut off. Worn by the Dung Eater, their form is a vision of the landscape of his mind, and of his appearance as he wished to see it. The heart of an omen without the body to match; could there be any crueler existence? What does it matter, then, if the curse claims at all?" The last sentence making me think that he also had some type of body dysmorphia and this continues with the themes of self loathing and general hatred for everyone, including himself. As well as pointing out how even just identifying with the Omen was looked at as a "cruel existence". While I think that line sounds like it possibly wasn't translated the best.
Rya knows what the recusants are about, and she is called a scout for a reason. She's a talent scout! Seeking those who would kill other tarnished, patches even sends you in her direction when you talk to him in liurnia but oh! Wouldnt you know it you kill him every run, so you wouldnt know that! No offense, I don't really care if people kill him even though I like him and his crouch, but boggart is just a minor criminal, a desperate man
Well he has played the game start to finish over 120 times now (and he keeps saying 300 so... even more that aren't on the channel?) and the game has been out less than 3 years. He's done every kind of weapon, armor, summon, and he's starting to beat the game deathless so it's almost entirely travel time. I'd be super burned out by now too. That erdtree bump helped for a bit but even that only goes so far.
No matter how you get the necklace, even if you do buy it from Boggart, Rya pretty clearly thinks that you might have killed him. She even frames it as a good thing. She doesn't know *everything* about the manor, but as a SCOUT for the MURDER CULT FOR KILLERS, it's pretty obvious she knows the Volcano Manor kills Tarnished. Does that excuse Boggart's behavior? Probably not, honestly. I forgive him personally, I'm 90% sure he's only putting on the tough thug act to hide his soft side that only wants to cook a bit of seafood, but that doesn't mean he isn't a little misogynistic. But trying to say Rya is "a soft little uwu baby that has 0 clue what happens at the manor" when she is, quite literally, Rya the Scout? As in a scout for talent? For the blasphemy-murder-blood cult? She quite literally HAS to know the Manor's intents for Tarnished. The only bad take you've ever had, Phil. And it's a pretty bad one.
Personally, I believe Boggart is more classist as opposed to misogynistic. Rya is, by way of dress and speaking, coded as 'nobility' (or the closest one can be in a fantasy post apocalypse), Boggart trusts you for enjoying prawn (lobsters were considered 'poor people' food until around 1880, if you didn't know), and does, in fact, potentially meet with another female character; you, the player character. I agree that he's hateful, but I think the in-game evidence points to it not being women, and more about wealth/station. Though, I do also feel you're more than warranted to dislike him for how he acts and speaks to and about Rya ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, good luck with the new channel! I hope it takes off enough that you can direct more time and attention there than only elden ring :)
My Boggart game theory: he's doesn't call Rya a bitch cause he's misogynistic. He asked if she wanted some prawn and promptly mugged her when she declined. He's just rude in general
The issue is that, while we'd probably all be fun with that, if you break the rhythm and change your release schedule at all, the algorithm gets mad. Switching to a 2 week schedule might completely tank the videos. But the burnout is real and the views are slowing down anyway so he's gonna have to segue somehow eventually.
The only circumstances in which Boggart calls Rya a bitch is literally if you attack him, in which case he assumes that she put you up to it. Sure, you personally may know that Rya is an sweet, innocent girl, but Ol' Boggart wouldn't. Besides, he's got another line about Rya, and while he isn't exactly kind in it, he doesn't make use of any pejoratives in it. He basically just comments that he thinks she's not quite right in the head, and if she's stupid enough to let herself be duped by him, she's lucky to not have gotten herself killed as of yet. But you didn't know that line, did you? Because you only ever know his dialogue from what happens if you attack him, do you? That is not very media literate of you, Phil. Not gonna lie Phil, I don't think calling a person a bitch for putting a mark on your head over a case of petty theft is misogynist. Sure, he was wrong about it, but you can't exactly blame him for thinking it, either.
"He says other lines about Rya and doesn't SPECIFICALLY call her a bitch. He says she's stupid." Well shoot, let me get him his NUMBER ONE WOMAN SUPPORTER trophy
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 My dude, you literally call her stupid in this very video yourself. All I'm saying is, contextually there really isn't enough there to call him a misogynist. He's a bit of an asshole in general, but you're literally going by "He calls a women he thinks wanted him killed a bitch". Is the Hornsent Grandam a misogynist as well, for calling Marika a strumpet?
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 He does call her a b*tch once, in one line of dialogue, it's true : "That b*tch put you up to this, eh. Damn it!" Which is when you attack him in order to retrieve Rya's necklace. He assumes she sent you (which is correct) and yeah, while I agree it is a misogynistic and unnecessary insult, it does not necessarily make the character a misogynist. Boggart is a very rude and ill-mannered thug to everyone, regardless of gender. In this situation where he is about to die, he curses the woman he believes sent you to kill him (which, again, is correct) by using an easy, rude and ill-mannered word. Boggart also treats your character the same regardless of their gender. Not really something a misogynist would do in my opinion. Not saying he isn't a rude, uneducated, petty thug but he is also not the woman-hating asshole you seem to think he is. By the way don't take this the wrong way, I enjoy your content. I just want to defend my opinion about this character because I feel you're unfair to him.
I need to preface this by saying that I enjoy your content and none of what I'm about to say is a direct attack against you. But what you say at 14:06 : "Can you read the words and understand what they mean ?" Kind of condescending here, and ironic because you missed a few things. Rya knows that Volcano Manor hunts Tarnished. She says, when inviting you for the first time : "I seek stalwart Tarnished who might join our house. You are very brave yourself. Not only a steady hand, but a steady heart, merciless, even to your own kind. Such strength is precisely what my mistress seeks." So she knows what Volcano Manor does and she seeks to recruit merciless fighters into her organisation. She is aware of that and Boggart is the perfect target to test you. She even may have intentionally got the necklace stolen to give you a reason to go after him, or at least it's implied. Media literacy and all that, you know. Also, he does call her a b*tch once, in one line of dialogue, it's true : "That b*tch put you up to this, eh. Damn it!" Which is when you attack him in Liurnia in order to retrieve Rya's necklace. He assumes she sent you (which is correct) and yeah, while I agree it is a misogynistic and unnecessary insult, it does not necessarily make the character a misogynist. Boggart is a very rude and ill-mannered thug to everyone, regardless of gender, and in this situation where he is about to die, he curses the woman he believes sent you to kill him (which, again, is correct) by using a rude and ill-mannered word. Boggart also treats your character the same regardless of their gender. Not really something a misogynist would do in my opinion. He is just a rude, uneducated, petty thug but not a misogynist asshole like you seem to think he is. That aside, I really enjoy your videos and harbor no hard feelings towards you or your content. I just wanted to point out those mistakes in order to clarify what seems to me like a misunderstanding. Thanks for your hard work !
ngl these videos have kept me sane during my last semester of college (also no idea who mango is and at this point I'm too scared to ask) looking forward to more from TulokTime
The sword doesn't have Claymore's R2. That's a stab, the default R2 for SoM is where it drags on the ground and runs forward. The Ash replaces it with the three hit swings.
something you said reminded me of an old book by Piers Anthony called "Macroscope", where they jokingly called that device the "super dooper pooper scooper". oh, and I once saw someone do a weird challenge run where he made his Summons do ALL the fighting. he allowed himself to do cast healing spells on them, however.' his biggest "roadblocks" were a couple of bosses where he could not summon at all, and...Rykard. to beat Ryhard, he upgraded the special spear, equipped it, then summoned the Mimic.
The reason the Sword of Milos is pierce is because its critical attacks are thrusts. If it chopped into the target from the side like a colossal sword does, it wouldn't have any pierce. Doesn't matter that much for it, but it's neat for other Greatswords because it allows piercing Ashes such as Giant Hunt to be used.
I'd like to point out that while yes Rya doesn't know what the volcano manor does, Boggart also doesn't have any reason to know that or assuming she didn't put you up to this? He doesn't have infinite knowledge either and there's 2 outcpmes, first if I robbed someone and know they work for the assassins guold and then what is essentially a mercenary showed up to get back what I robbed I'd say it's pretty logically sound to assume the person you robbed sent this person, and even if I don't why would I assume the mercenary wasn't sent by the person I just robbed? Under the assumption they sent someone to kill you calling them a bitch is far from misogynistic, and also bitch may be primarily directed a woman but it's also a very common insult just in general that definitely can be used against men to, he didn't call her a specifically sexist insult. Idk maybe I missed some dialogue somewhere but from what I gather the only time in any of his limited lines he insults a woman directly for any reason is when he has fairly good reason to think she tried to kill him and that seems pretty reasonable. Idk doesn't really matter, videos over a month old and I'm just playing catch up on videos I missed going through the backlog. I am just enjoying the haha pee pee poo poo man episode and the logic provided as to why boggart is a misogynist seems incredibly flawed. Feel free to hate the shrimp man anyway idc, still gonna watch videos, just my two cents.
I think Raya does know that her mother kills people. Because the part of the manor she is allowed to see she is in the room where her mother sends out hits for her champions to complete. And her mother and Bernard openly talk about revolution and challenging the erd tree, her mother does have her find champions to recruit in order to join there cause so I think it is plausible that she knows to that extent.
New video formats means more chances to try weapons that don’t neatly fit into secret starting classes, like Fallingstar Beast Jaw or Stormhawk Talon. Those are pretty neat, but just examples.
You mentioning how MND helps you resist frenzy makes me realize theres like zero mixing between frenzy and magic use. Like thematically that would be a cool show of horror, to see even those who regularly peer in the theoretically infinite cosmos, to still gaze at the flame and fall to it
You can get the Dung Eater gear before killing a single rememberance boss by doing the Ruptured Crystal tear skip to Leyndell so it's a SECRET STARTING CLASS
the piercing damage on the greatsword comes from a single attack that you dont see often-- the dual wield backstep light attack. with two greatswords, the backstep attack causes you to thrust with both weapons. this does pierce damage. the rest of the moveset does not.
I know the media literacy check is somewhat popular, but you could skip most of it by going for 12-14 scadoosh tree fragments and only getting the ones on your way
greatswords have pierce when they have unique thrusting attacks or if you put a thrusting aow on them which sucks bc that means some greatswords just dont have pierce damage??? why would they do that???
Literally all Greatswords have pierce, not just the ones with unique thrusting attacks. Their critical attacks all deal pierce damage and one of the power stancing combos is a double thrust.
Hey man I've been watching your videos for a while and I just wanna let you know I appreciate the time, dedication, hilarious commentary, and consistency you put into your content. Keep it up man, and if you want to make other content, well that's cool too. You should enjoy your job 🤘
There is only one sponsor that would work for this video. RAID The bug spray, because after feasting on fecal matter, obviously your number one worry is being sanitary and dealing with pests.
Excited about the Bardbrarian revival! Of course, please pace yourself as much as possible. If you’re interested, I’ve got some unfinished ideas for a few species and subclasses collecting dust lol. If nothing else, this comment boosts the algorithm!
If you've seen one-shot challenge videos, they are basically that. The runner just spends like twenty seconds putting on different buffs and then deletes the boss in a single hit.

But trying to say Rya is "a soft little uwu baby that has 0 clue what happens at the manor" when she is, quite literally, Rya the Scout? As in a scout for talent? For the blasphemy-murder-blood cult? She quite literally HAS to know the Manor's intents for Tarnished.
The only bad take you've ever had, Phil. And it's a pretty bad one.
Surprised no one wanted to sponsor. Not even Miralax. Or Depends, even.
Followed tuloktime after watching the first video over there. I will subscribe to as many channels as you make Phil.
Here here
BABE NEW TULOK AND MANGO VIDEO DROPPED 9 SECONDS AGO WAKE UP (he's also finally doing the stinky man)
I hope he uses the poop stomper, I'm gonna be mad for no reason if he doesn't.
@toastmaster914 oh he better or we're gonna bust out the pitchforks 😡
people watch the crab video! not only its good, also helps the channel a lot if we support the variety content!
The video was so good, it made me buy the game.
Posting at lunch time is a decision I personally am not bold enough to do
You may be wrong half the time but you're pretty damn funny. Boggart isn't sexist because he hates everyone who doesn't have a taste for prawn.
i saw the commissioned dnd video, was really cool that the person who comissioned it linked it on the subreddit!
Personally, I believe Boggart is more classist as opposed to misogynistic. Rya is, by way of dress and speaking, coded as 'nobility' (or the closest one can be in a fantasy post apocalypse), Boggart trusts you for enjoying prawn (lobsters were considered 'poor people' food until around 1880, if you didn't know), and does, in fact, potentially meet with another female character; you, the player character. I agree that he's hateful, but I think the in-game evidence points to it not being women, and more about wealth/station. Though, I do also feel you're more than warranted to dislike him for how he acts and speaks to and about Rya ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, good luck with the new channel! I hope it takes off enough that you can direct more time and attention there than only elden ring :)
My Boggart game theory: he's doesn't call Rya a bitch cause he's misogynistic. He asked if she wanted some prawn and promptly mugged her when she declined. He's just rude in general
I honestly think we’d get by just fine on an EldenRing video every OTHER week. Tulok Time is more entertaining anyway.
The issue is that, while we'd probably all be fun with that, if you break the rhythm and change your release schedule at all, the algorithm gets mad. Switching to a 2 week schedule might completely tank the videos.
But the burnout is real and the views are slowing down anyway so he's gonna have to segue somehow eventually.
Love the Spaceballs reference! One of my favorite movies!!
Man I love Thursday
Thanks phil and mango this poop video really complimented the poop I had to stomp down my toilet after I finished the video ❤
The only circumstances in which Boggart calls Rya a bitch is literally if you attack him, in which case he assumes that she put you up to it.
Sure, you personally may know that Rya is an sweet, innocent girl, but Ol' Boggart wouldn't.
Besides, he's got another line about Rya, and while he isn't exactly kind in it, he doesn't make use of any pejoratives in it. He basically just comments that he thinks she's not quite right in the head, and if she's stupid enough to let herself be duped by him, she's lucky to not have gotten herself killed as of yet.
But you didn't know that line, did you? Because you only ever know his dialogue from what happens if you attack him, do you? That is not very media literate of you, Phil.
Not gonna lie Phil, I don't think calling a person a bitch for putting a mark on your head over a case of petty theft is misogynist. Sure, he was wrong about it, but you can't exactly blame him for thinking it, either.
"He says other lines about Rya and doesn't SPECIFICALLY call her a bitch. He says she's stupid." Well shoot, let me get him his NUMBER ONE WOMAN SUPPORTER trophy
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 My dude, you literally call her stupid in this very video yourself.
All I'm saying is, contextually there really isn't enough there to call him a misogynist. He's a bit of an asshole in general, but you're literally going by "He calls a women he thinks wanted him killed a bitch".
Is the Hornsent Grandam a misogynist as well, for calling Marika a strumpet?
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Hey, guess who also calls her stupid? Like, in this very video?
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 He does call her a b*tch once, in one line of dialogue, it's true : "That b*tch put you up to this, eh. Damn it!" Which is when you attack him in order to retrieve Rya's necklace. He assumes she sent you (which is correct) and yeah, while I agree it is a misogynistic and unnecessary insult, it does not necessarily make the character a misogynist. Boggart is a very rude and ill-mannered thug to everyone, regardless of gender. In this situation where he is about to die, he curses the woman he believes sent you to kill him (which, again, is correct) by using an easy, rude and ill-mannered word.
Boggart also treats your character the same regardless of their gender. Not really something a misogynist would do in my opinion. Not saying he isn't a rude, uneducated, petty thug but he is also not the woman-hating asshole you seem to think he is.
By the way don't take this the wrong way, I enjoy your content. I just want to defend my opinion about this character because I feel you're unfair to him.
All greatswords have pierce because if you are dual wielding them the backstep attack is a thrust
I, too, busted to the Dung Eater
I will say that as much as I love the super long videos, these shorter ones are a little easier to digest.
Finally the poop stomper video, I adore this guys sword actually he’s so fun
The Ymir hat-window peek is my favorite part of the week.
I need to preface this by saying that I enjoy your content and none of what I'm about to say is a direct attack against you. But what you say at 14:06 : "Can you read the words and understand what they mean ?"
Kind of condescending here, and ironic because you missed a few things. Rya knows that Volcano Manor hunts Tarnished. She says, when inviting you for the first time : "I seek stalwart Tarnished who might join our house. You are very brave yourself. Not only a steady hand, but a steady heart, merciless, even to your own kind. Such strength is precisely what my mistress seeks."
So she knows what Volcano Manor does and she seeks to recruit merciless fighters into her organisation. She is aware of that and Boggart is the perfect target to test you. She even may have intentionally got the necklace stolen to give you a reason to go after him, or at least it's implied. Media literacy and all that, you know.
Also, he does call her a b*tch once, in one line of dialogue, it's true : "That b*tch put you up to this, eh. Damn it!" Which is when you attack him in Liurnia in order to retrieve Rya's necklace. He assumes she sent you (which is correct) and yeah, while I agree it is a misogynistic and unnecessary insult, it does not necessarily make the character a misogynist. Boggart is a very rude and ill-mannered thug to everyone, regardless of gender, and in this situation where he is about to die, he curses the woman he believes sent you to kill him (which, again, is correct) by using a rude and ill-mannered word.
Boggart also treats your character the same regardless of their gender. Not really something a misogynist would do in my opinion. He is just a rude, uneducated, petty thug but not a misogynist asshole like you seem to think he is.
That aside, I really enjoy your videos and harbor no hard feelings towards you or your content. I just wanted to point out those mistakes in order to clarify what seems to me like a misunderstanding. Thanks for your hard work !
DUDE! I was just thinking today “I wonder if he’ll make a dung eater episode”. LETS GOO
ngl these videos have kept me sane during my last semester of college (also no idea who mango is and at this point I'm too scared to ask) looking forward to more from TulokTime
The piercing heavy is from the Claymore moveset. When you roar, you replace it with the wild swing moveset.
The sword doesn't have Claymore's R2. That's a stab, the default R2 for SoM is where it drags on the ground and runs forward. The Ash replaces it with the three hit swings.
@@gerg905 yep, my bad. The Zweihander is the one ruined by the roar.
poopshitdoodooass is some of your best work tulok i approve
something you said reminded me of an old book by Piers Anthony called "Macroscope", where they jokingly called that device the "super dooper pooper scooper".
oh, and I once saw someone do a weird challenge run where he made his Summons do ALL the fighting.
he allowed himself to do cast healing spells on them, however.'
his biggest "roadblocks" were a couple of bosses where he could not summon at all, and...Rykard.
to beat Ryhard, he upgraded the special spear, equipped it, then summoned the Mimic.
The reason the Sword of Milos is pierce is because its critical attacks are thrusts. If it chopped into the target from the side like a colossal sword does, it wouldn't have any pierce.
Doesn't matter that much for it, but it's neat for other Greatswords because it allows piercing Ashes such as Giant Hunt to be used.
I'd like to point out that while yes Rya doesn't know what the volcano manor does, Boggart also doesn't have any reason to know that or assuming she didn't put you up to this? He doesn't have infinite knowledge either and there's 2 outcpmes, first if I robbed someone and know they work for the assassins guold and then what is essentially a mercenary showed up to get back what I robbed I'd say it's pretty logically sound to assume the person you robbed sent this person, and even if I don't why would I assume the mercenary wasn't sent by the person I just robbed? Under the assumption they sent someone to kill you calling them a bitch is far from misogynistic, and also bitch may be primarily directed a woman but it's also a very common insult just in general that definitely can be used against men to, he didn't call her a specifically sexist insult. Idk maybe I missed some dialogue somewhere but from what I gather the only time in any of his limited lines he insults a woman directly for any reason is when he has fairly good reason to think she tried to kill him and that seems pretty reasonable.
Idk doesn't really matter, videos over a month old and I'm just playing catch up on videos I missed going through the backlog. I am just enjoying the haha pee pee poo poo man episode and the logic provided as to why boggart is a misogynist seems incredibly flawed. Feel free to hate the shrimp man anyway idc, still gonna watch videos, just my two cents.
Never this early. I only find these vids days later
The dad jokes get me everytime
Been camping the page, glad I can be early to the episode :D
Wow, that moveset after shriek of Milos is cool af. Will give a chance to this sword based in that alone.
Yooooo been so excited for your next cardbarian and tulok time videos!
Any hints on what commander your doing your next video on???
Before i even watch the video, i can tell this is going to rock. Strong weapon, strong armor, strong spirit ash
I think Raya does know that her mother kills people. Because the part of the manor she is allowed to see she is in the room where her mother sends out hits for her champions to complete. And her mother and Bernard openly talk about
revolution and challenging the erd tree, her mother does have her find champions to recruit in order to join there cause so I think it is plausible that she knows to that extent.
I picked the wrong episode to watch while cooking dinner.
Fact:the pierce damage is coming from the backstep attack from dual wielding greatswords for those who don't know
I like how you didn't stress the "li-turd-gical town" joke.
New video formats means more chances to try weapons that don’t neatly fit into secret starting classes, like Fallingstar Beast Jaw or Stormhawk Talon. Those are pretty neat, but just examples.
"What does the Dung Eater eat?"
AVGN style answer: "AAASSS!"
You mentioning how MND helps you resist frenzy makes me realize theres like zero mixing between frenzy and magic use. Like thematically that would be a cool show of horror, to see even those who regularly peer in the theoretically infinite cosmos, to still gaze at the flame and fall to it
I can’t wait for that convergence video
The Poopstomper was the angry weirdo we killed along the way. Anyways this seems like a great time to rewatch the funny crab game!
Your crab video made me wanna check out another crabs treasure after I play bloodborne
Thank god he finally used the poop stomper!
Still waiting for the day i meet phil at Hard Times or some other local punk show. (And for the crossover with phil of ThatDangDad fame)
Dungeater sucks shit, but will he crap out at the Swag Jump?
Could he show us the build
as a metal head i love that hot to go needle drop
MY LORD. "SITTING ON THE TOILET" TOOK ME BACK
Wow 38 seconds in and we have the Cake Roll. Incredible.
The real dung was the friends made along the way.
Double tulok time with tuloktime yippee!!
You can get the Dung Eater gear before killing a single rememberance boss by doing the Ruptured Crystal tear skip to Leyndell so it's a SECRET STARTING CLASS
Since weapon builds are getting too easy it’s time to go back to suffering through spell builds… (still gotta do a Renalla build)
the piercing damage on the greatsword comes from a single attack that you dont see often-- the dual wield backstep light attack. with two greatswords, the backstep attack causes you to thrust with both weapons. this does pierce damage. the rest of the moveset does not.
We going to the For-Harris lands with this one boys 🎉
Thx for making the video i requested 💪🔥🙏
Dung eater go brr
The boggart build comes back with a second harvest.
finally the poop stomper
Tulok on the last day of my cruise hell yeah
Busted builds to remember: Dung Eater.
There’s a “bang the dung eater” joke video floating around TH-cam. It’s hilarious.
8:40 .. I am angry with you for how hard this made me laugh.
I was expecting a Fart-e-sax joke, but Forti-shats works, too 😂
I know the media literacy check is somewhat popular, but you could skip most of it by going for 12-14 scadoosh tree fragments and only getting the ones on your way
I loved the part where you ate Dung in this video! Keep up the dung eating!
greatswords have pierce when they have unique thrusting attacks or if you put a thrusting aow on them which sucks bc that means some greatswords just dont have pierce damage??? why would they do that???
Literally all Greatswords have pierce, not just the ones with unique thrusting attacks.
Their critical attacks all deal pierce damage and one of the power stancing combos is a double thrust.
@@darthplagueis13 ok whatever yk what i mean
That Johnny Assfingers pun made me so upset I had to pause the video and walk away for a couple minutes.
I guess I'm the butt of the joke this time.
“Almost takes our first stock” was that… A Smash Bros reference?!?!
Yay highlight of the week
I thought that “the loathsome” was a part of his name until I played the game
Hey man I've been watching your videos for a while and I just wanna let you know I appreciate the time, dedication, hilarious commentary, and consistency you put into your content. Keep it up man, and if you want to make other content, well that's cool too. You should enjoy your job 🤘
I checked out your other channel. Enjoyed the crab souls video.
Can’t wait for the hornsent run if it ever happens lol
You could do DS3 or BB too!
FINALLY a Poop Snacker run
I have a faith build, I offhand dung eater sword and run the stacking trinket for mana kills regularly for a long sustain
There is only one sponsor that would work for this video. RAID
The bug spray, because after feasting on fecal matter, obviously your number one worry is being sanitary and dealing with pests.
Excited about the Bardbrarian revival! Of course, please pace yourself as much as possible. If you’re interested, I’ve got some unfinished ideas for a few species and subclasses collecting dust lol. If nothing else, this comment boosts the algorithm!
Can you imagine doing all the Buffs, plus the Debuffs?! The game would feel like ripping through wet tissue paper!
If you've seen one-shot challenge videos, they are basically that. The runner just spends like twenty seconds putting on different buffs and then deletes the boss in a single hit.
Missed opportunity to name the video "this build DOESN'T take s**t from no one"
finally the legendary poopstomper stompin poop
