      as awesome as he is, no, thats not the case. in the first part of the video he's part of the way of blue, likely to pick up the ring for joining them. later in the video the covenant symbol changes to Pilgrims of the dark. I haven't interacted with that one yet, but my guess is it has something to do with the darklurker boss fight also attempted in the video.

I then absolutely wrecked them, then used a bonfire ascetic to wreck them again because they knew what they did to me

      Pinwheel, magus + co, and idol aren’t the exact same, but they are all joke fights with gank mechanics that if you go into the fight with a weapon that deals more than 30 damage a swing the fight is going to be over in about 47 seconds.

    I'm just gonna confess something really weird about my experience with this video
    I've been having a lot of trouble getting to sleep at reasonable times the past couple weeks or so, and for some utterly bizarre reason, this video is my complete cure for it. I'm taking my time right now to actually watch through and finish this whole video in one sitting, because I've found that no matter how much trouble I'm having getting to sleep, if I just put this video on late at night I fall asleep before the half way mark. I think it's got something to do with your voice; even in the more active moments, your voice is just really soothing to listen to.
    Basically, I've been using this video as my diet insomnia cure for a while now, and I just couldn't sit around without expressing that fact.

    When I heard you say 32 I laughed a little and then looked to Elden Ring, which I pray for you honestly. Make it main bosses only if you have to, don’t push yourself to breaking when the time comes.

      With how low HP many ER bosses have it wouldnt take too long. But I realise just getting to a lot of the bosses would take forever

    Pretty sure Challenger Andy and Gamersweekend got you into my recommendations, and I must say I'm glad I found you! Your voice-over and editing styles are great, and it's criminal that you're sitting at such a low sub count!

  • @dragiceryudo5745
    @dragiceryudo5745 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I love DS2 anything.
    There are two from bosses I learned tricks about to beat them.
    Ivory king is left handed. Always dodge right. For everything.
    Blood starved beat always swings right. Dodge left. For everything.
    Obviously circumstances apply, but that helped me with both those bosses.

    I love how he said alonne was the most anime dark souls would ever be, and than 6 months later we got Godrick, Radan, and Malenia which makes alonne look like pbs kids.

    I did a consumables only run, and poison knives made half of the bosses really easy.

  • @MrSC219
    @MrSC219 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just finished DS2 for the first time and the trash at Iron Keep and the ones leading up to Sir Alonne came the closest to breaking me. The reindeer actually did break me. The bosses were fine, but I hate the trash in this game. Thank god they stop spawning. I hated that mechanic until I hit Iron Keep.

    Coming back to watch the old Firebomb videos is super interesting. Seeing the seeds of Lemon's current style and how he's improved in both routing and game knowledge is super fascinating.
