Another off the cuff low quality video. Did this run over the weekend and was pretty damn stoaked how it went! Might upload my NG+7 0 Blessings 2mo or in a couple days then will wrap it up with 2 Narrated vids in the new year 😁.
@@khongphaitheanh Haha it's all good, I aint worried. I have no problem summoning and using safe easy strats on horrible bosses that throw endless BS at you.
@@lordtrinen2249 I hate the hippo. The arena is too small for such a massive boss with some insane moves. And oh 100%, had to get into that defensive mindset. Most attacks are Insta death. It's terrifying.
Yeah it rocks. Pickaxe extra good fot Pierce damage which many are weak against. Nah too hard getting the 2 pots out for phase 2 lol. Those rot pots are a damn life saver for RL1 fights!
Awesome video,and summons are fine,nothing cowardly in it. All meant to be played. Yeah playing and defeating a boss on your own is awesome,but nothing wrong with using things around you. Interesting that you chose the mantis blade with the poison, and the celebrant Rob rake with the bleed. Any particular reason for those weapons? Just interested as those aren't usually seen
@@jonnyrobins3823 So I've always found poison Mantis blade just awesome. The look and it's really good poison infused. Honestly could have had the AoW on anything lol. Rib Rake, my intention after beating Leda and gang was fo defeat every boss with Celebrant weapons for a challenge. But decided I'd do something easier. For context, I bet Bayle with the Rib Rake and its 3:48, compared to the Pickaxe at the 2 min mark. The weapon is ridiculously good.
@SaxSlaveGael I've always liked the mantis blade but always felt such a let down getting one,and it being nothing like the move set of the cemetery shades. Of course any weapon is amazing when you have a skillset like yours. Good stuff. I'm nearing completing the game for the first time,base game that is,using a dex zweihander with stamp uppercut now. You got a good dex weapon alternative for me to use with aow? The zweihander is good but getting bit bored now. Just got Ordina town,secret path of the haligtree,haligtree and then Godfrey to the end left. Not much but if I can make a good dex weapon great,then that would be amazing
@jonnyrobins3823 If you want a drastic shift from the Zweihander. A weapon I really like is the Shamshir. Very fast. Incredible R1 attacks. Chuck on spinning slash and the thing can break stance really quickly. Shamshir is my favourite dex based weapon.
Brilliant. I did give it a go early in the game,then I got the bandits curved and swapped for a pair of those instead. Do you wield it single or a pair? Definitely give that a go later. Thanks for that
@@chancetherappersburner6338 The Pikeaxe only does pierce damage too and I think does more stance damage than the anchor? Not sure honestly. Both are solid 👍
@@tcdtboc8551 Yeah me neither I've seen it lots but never tried it. The thing is unbelievable. I was always nervous to do a RL1 run, but this thing just slapped so hard.
@KurwaRomek Ahh man, that sucks. Same happend to the Dark Moon GS. It's stance damage is horrible now. The thing is still solid, but it's a sad weapon compared to how it was prior to the DLC...

Don't let anyone talk shit to your run. If they think they can do better, just post their own video about that. Keep up the good work Mr Gael 💯
@@khongphaitheanh Haha it's all good, I aint worried. I have no problem summoning and using safe easy strats on horrible bosses that throw endless BS at you.
Damn that was a good run. Don't think I've ever seen you play so defensively against some of those bosses. The hippo must've given you some PTSD.

Only in Souls game can like 7/9 "Legendary" Weapons be outclassed by a fricking Pickaxe
@@slippy9251 The weapon is legit insane... First time using it, and just slaughtering bosses faster than some of my level 150 builds is crazy.
My based goat keeps cooking. Don’t let them keep you down.
this and all the other builds in the vid actually looked super fun to me, think i'll try em out now.
Great run!
Haven't tried Rl1 myself on the Dlc yet, congrats 💪
2:01 nice
Great Hammer + Cragblade = Stance Breaks Aplenty!!
Thought you were going to rot Radahn on the second phase too, but you went purely melee.
Yeah it rocks. Pickaxe extra good fot Pierce damage which many are weak against.
Nah too hard getting the 2 pots out for phase 2 lol. Those rot pots are a damn life saver for RL1 fights!
Two videos in one day, LET'S GO! Another reason for me to stay up!
Bro got the minecraft steve build🗣️🔥
Deflecting tear + pickaxe/pierce is a very good feeling
@@xxxxixi6073 For real! It's incredible!
Greataxes in general are extremely underrated
Pickaxe is a great hammer
@@JustaSmilingHedgehog It's an odd weapon as it can be power stanced with axes. It's heavy attack is so damn good! Very similar to Bloodfeinds Arm
my first playthrough weapon that i used for 50 hours, sadly i had to switch to something wack when going against morgott
I’m doing my RL1. Stuck at Maliketh, got Mohg to access dlc. Might try this

@jonnyrobins3823 I just 2 hand it 😁
May i recommend the Rusted Anchor.
Only deals pierce damage which makes it perfect for a counter attack build.
@@chancetherappersburner6338 The Pikeaxe only does pierce damage too and I think does more stance damage than the anchor? Not sure honestly. Both are solid 👍
Im currently fighting radahn on my first dlc playthrough still got a few more before im gonna try lvl1 didnt realize how good pickaxe is for rl1

Ah, greathammers. I used to love the long envoy's horn (the one the medium envoys use) but they nerfed bubble shower into the ground 😢
Yo what did they nerf? Haven't used it since the DLC dropped. Damn...
@SaxSlaveGael yeah, I used to pull over 4k dmg in one cast without especially building around it, it's a little over 1/2 of that now
@KurwaRomek Ahh man, that sucks. Same happend to the Dark Moon GS. It's stance damage is horrible now. The thing is still solid, but it's a sad weapon compared to how it was prior to the DLC...
@SaxSlaveGael I hate when game devs nerf the powerful stuff instead of buffing the weak.
I m using this thing and mining through all the bosses
Bonk to win til we die ❤
Pickaxe in my top 5 weapons in the game
Holy shit I didnt know you could jump over dancing lions butt sweep!!! I have like 30 hours of fighting him and never knew that.
@@grayestrat Pike axe is solid alright! And yeah it works unless he is in tornado phase where his hit boxes get all odd 🤣
@SaxSlaveGael I'm definitely gonna try it out. So it works on frost phase too?
@grayestrat I've never seen him do it on frost phase 🤣
@@SaxSlaveGael oh I'm stupid he doesn't do it on frost phase lmfao
Too bad you couldn’t find a way to have Spear Talisman on as well. Great run though!
how can you guard boost so well with a 2-hand weapon and not a shield?
Deflect teir significantly reduces stamina drain when you perfect guard. Great hammers, this one specically has 44 Guard Boost which is pretty solid.
Yeah yeah the weapon is strong and all, but you still need to play like a god (AKA you lol)!
On some bosses yes, on other bosses like Rellana, you just gotta keep up the pressure and she folds really quick, barely gets to attack
@webpombo7765 of course some bosses are easy to bully 😁
Amazing! I want to do a rl1 run now. I did a rl35 run. Mimic summon really really sucked 😅
@@happysuds1856 Yeah mimic is worthless if you don't have 60 vigor 🤣
Tell my why I have 2000 hours in this game and only just this week learned that you can powerstance this mf with great axes!?
Lmao, I mean it's not something to reasonably expect especially when the game tells you shit all 🤣
