Imagine wearing Raycons in Fort Haight
Something to note, if you feel like your i puts are being eaten, check if there is something that produces a signal, in between the controller, and console. In my case, it was a verizon jetpack.
Alternatively, your controller may be dying. That ruined dying light 1 for me for a bit, cause it would keep canceling my sprint...in a parkour game...
Doing the swag jump with Blinkbolt Longshaft Axe is possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen for roughly seconds.
I think we need a full DK Rap for the Death Knights.
Hey Tulok, sorry you had a bad time with this one! Really love your stuff - the super niche jokes, the media literacy checks, the needle drops, the builds, all of it truly. Hopefully the next run is more fun!
"Unrealistically sadistic architecture" idk, a lot of hostile architecture is very inhumane. Look up what big cities use to keep homeless people from having shelter on your work computer.
I swear, if major cities could put a giant ceiling of spikes that falls on the unhoused... they wouldn't because first they'd need to put a roof over their head. Sorry for the dark joke, it's truly disgusting how cruel governments are to the homeless.
Wait a second, that search doesn’t return porn
Yeah, like, imagine doing things to disincentivize people who do nothing but get high, beg, and refuse to get their shit together from just sleeping around in public. Literally so rude and inhumane ughhhh.
@@BasedHyperborean yeah, except we can't disincentivize those people from sleeping in public, they're in their mansions complaining about us calling them weird. Meanwhile cities are ruining bus stops and benches because people don't like seeing how the system hurts those that need the help the most.
@@BasedHyperborean They're living, therefore I wish them nothing but the best and those who'd decrease the quality of life for everyone just so the poor can't sleep shouldn't be in charge
@3:45 "Do you know what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning? Uhh... apparently not that much."
That swag jump in the beginning was just....mmm
*chefs kiss*
I have a feeling this is going to be the swaggiest jump of all time
you were right
so glad I'm not alone in the "I swear I'm pressing buttons but my guy is just standing there" experience. I swear it always happens at the worst possible times, too
Knight? Death'd. Run? Completed. Jump? SWAGGED
Hotel? Travago
11:10 the prophet
I didn't expect a D. K. Rap intro, but I ain't complaining
@11:35 talking about squad members... man, a full rpg where I can deck out 2 other characters to synergize with my main build sounds sick! Gimme gimme.(Don't @ me BG3, played it a bunch, love it. Give me more)
divinity original sin? I think it's typically 3 other characters but still. Also you can do that in dragon age inquisition
All the images of dragons shooting lightning swords, yet im quite surprised that my Lightning build ended being undead, not my fault, its Sir Tulok and Michael Sake's fault
Yeah in such a big game lightning was so slept on
What do you mean? You can become a dragon priest, that form boosts dragon cult incantations by 15%@tylerharper5306
@@andypina4478 what i mean is that the dragon theme of those builds didnt really draw me to make a lightning build, mostly because the image of dragons for the player are sided AWAY from it, focusing more on the dragon communion. Meanwhile in the DLC we have a direct model on how powerful undead wield not only powerful magic but also weapons that are IN THEME! sure Gransax bolt is a thing, but it doesnt harmonize with the dragon stuff we are granted in game, on the other side AN ENTIRE ARMOR SET THAT BOOST THE LIGHTNING SKILLS AND INCANTATIONS!
so long story short: undeath are the superior masters of lightning, cry in a corner stinky dragon breath followers.
@nicolasvillasecaali7662 hahaha, that's funny, I am currently doing a dragon communion build. It's hard to not delve into lighting at the end.
@@tylerharper5306true. I am shocked we didn’t see an ER variant of Heavenly Thunder, Blinding Bolt, Splintering Bolt, Sunlight Spear(not Gransax’s AoW), or Lightning Stake. So many missed opportunities to actually repurpose classic miracles 😭😭
It’s crazy how a cutscene and a few lines of dialogue can elevate a boss fight. How did FromSoft fuck that up so badly in the DLC?
Entire sections of the DLC were completely overhauled somewhere along the line.
Belurat, and our accessing of Enir Ilim makes like, no sense in the current DLC. Why would you fight the Lion Dancer and climb up the tower if burning the sealing tree just teleports you inside? Woulda made a *LOT* more sense if it was a first boss on an ascent. Her absence in the trailer despite being a remembrance boss might mean she wasn't finished yet.
We have cut voice lines for Miquella that show us the Age of Compassion was meant to be an ending option. He also briefly appears, grown and luminous, lifting his hand up to the Scadutree. I'd wager this was an animation for the start of his Age similar to the custom one Ranni gets, and would have involved unveiling the Land of Shadow.
We still have Hornsent urging us to go to the misshapen tree of umbra (Scqdutree) and spill the blood of erdtree worshippers. In Scaduview past Gaius, we were originally supposed to be able to interact with the chalice. Combined with the (rather randomly included) Scadutree Avatar fight, it looks like the disjointed pieces of a multi-step quest. Perhaps one to help heal the tree by blood sacrifice?
I think they started in this direction, decided to scrap it, and then had less time to flesh out the stuff they did settle on/add in after altering course.
Ngl that Dory clip had me DEAD 😂
I hope you start having fun again. I really appreciate the great content Tulok - I found your channel on your original 5e D&D builds and have loved watching your adventures through the Lands Between
Put down elden ring for a sec to look up a location video for a weapon. This was at the top of my youtube feed, and now my elden ring is put down for the next 37 minutes instead of just a sec. Thanks for the consistent quality content Phil
The scream into the immediate cut was somehow the funniest thing I‘ve seen in a while, thank you!
The MCR jumpscare at 21:06 was a very welcome surprise.
21:00 i hope you get to play a build or shoot even another game for the channel that lets you have fun! I always find your content is even better when it seems like youre having a blast making it!
I love the social commentary added to your videos.
35:56 casting the spell while IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRE LIGHTING is so damn cinematic
the swaggiest swag jump yet 5:48
End the video there
D.K is one of my favourite dlc builds. Nice that even my favourite spell truther recognises the sheer power of KLS. I too wish the duel axes were better and that the armour hit 51 poise 😢
I tip I got from Fextralife: the Malformed Dragon Armor legs go great with the DK set and boost you up above 51 poise. It'll only cost you 2% extra Dragon Cult incantation damage from unequipping Dk legs, but the 51 poise while still looking perfect is better, in my opinion.
@@CountryMusicMann Yeah, I'm pretty sure I saw that 2. I prefer the tree sentinel helm, as it hits the breakpoint as well, while looking better than the skull mask (in my opinion).
@@mallblartpaulcop1226 Oh, mostly I'm seeing my character from the back, so I don't particularly care about what the helmet looks like. Plus, if I'm being honest, my mind kind of retcons it into a skull-shaped face helm, and I kind of love that aesthetic.
@@CountryMusicMann That's fair, but I've always just disliked skull helmets. Idk why, I've just seen them as goofy. That, and I'm always a slave to fashion souls. If I don't mash three different armour sets into a passable look, my brain doesn't accept it as a valid build.
@@mallblartpaulcop1226 I get that. For my first FEW runs of Elden Ring, I couldn't equip anything other than the Confessor set because it was just badass. Then I discovered the Raging Wolf Helmet and Chest plus the Scaled Gauntlets and Greaves is almost as badass while also hitting 51 poise, and then I use that until I can get the Night's Cavalry set for my Death Knight look.
My preference is generally for armors that have that "battle skirt" portion (I don't know what it's called), because otherwise it feels like there's just not enough visually going on, like you're just in a metal onesie rather than proper clothes.
15:25 MORE WILL WOOD REJOICE!!!
Im sure you know this, but I've been wondering for a while now. There's a platform of hardened Lava to the left of Alexander in the Lavapond next to the stone pillar. You can stand on it and talk to Alexander. That's why he has a throwing animation when he gives you LMSH's helmet.
Full party rpg mini rant almost guessed the next elden ring game.
but also just described how co-op works in Stranger of Paradise
Listening to your rant during rot radahn is put into new context with Elden ring Nightreign
4:25 got major We are number one vibes from that "sneak around" and now I am irrationally disapointed it wasn't followed up with "be careful not to make a sound"
Oh, too bad you were in a bad mood Tulok, hope you get better. I miss you readings on the story, I know you can't do it every week, but your readings have been one of my favorites.
it's official, Tulok loves all spells!
My favorite time of the week, new tulok video
The Twin Axes are super fun when you use them with the Ruptured Tears Physick. Just barely enough time before the boom to be a one attack winning Blink-Bomber.
Fantastic video, the death knight spells have been my favorite of the dlc
If I recall correctly, the reason you couldn't input sprint during that Waterfowl is because of a relatively obscure mechanic I noticed: if you fully deplete your stamina bar with an action (run/attack/etc, I think?), you'll temporarily be unable to sprint. This was aldo present in earlier Souls titles iirc - very noticable in DS2.
something you said about the axe moveset reminded me of an Exploit in Skyrim i heard about:
if you equip two one-handed weapons, do a Power attack (hold the button) with one hand, and do a normal attack with the other at the right time, the Power attack will NOT CONSUME ANY STAMINA.
i've seen a video where a Speedrunner used that trick to take down a Dragon in a few seconds.
Will wood needle drop made my needle drop
To be honest, I love how you changed the tier system post-DLC, I think rating based off an end vibe check is such a good way to do it.
I recently did a run based around bloody barbaric roar on the Olivia Rodrigo sword, and while my K/D was pretty trash due to rust and wee too much greed, it was probably the second funnest run I've done, with vigor only being my favourite, cause you hit like a truck and can afford dumb mistakes.
Been really enjoying this channel for a long time thanks for keeping us entertained. Nothing bad will ever happen when putting on armor
The twin axes were, after Dancing Lion, one of the first things I encountered on my first (blind) Shadow playthrough, and I was pumped as they were a perfect fit for my OG character and looked super cool.
Yeah, a somber stone and about two hours later those got packed away and never touched again.
I feel like that DK rap just slapped my childhood back into me.
Throwing in Godfrey icon with that charged lightning spear is so beautiful
I have been suspecting the Minnesota thing for ages! So glad I didn’t skip through the ad so now I know for sure!
Just in case you don't know for when/if you do the black knights: You can buff the hammers, and there is a black knight who does just that. So do with that information what you will.
Also, for the falling spike ceiling. I personally would build the platform without the spikes right on top of the floor (assuming they build from the catacomes from the bottom up? idk) and then build the rest of the room around it, and after the rest of the room was done pull the spike ceiling up a little way and attach the spikes.
I feel like a raid sponsor would really fit in this video
12:06 whoa whoa whoa, let's just get a working cooperative mode first. Cuz its so much fun being forced into pvp when I want to pve.
Love from a fellow Minnesota native and resident!
You were really cooking with that full party souls like idea. I love party based rpgs I think it could work
Imagine dying in Fort Haight
11:07 This aged so well
Bro the DK rap was fire... well in this case more like lightning
@4:20 Huh, I found the ash of war to be sweet. The ability to close distance is really good for killing small enemies and iirc, it even gets i-frames. It's not great as a "spam this ash of war for all your DPS" but it's pretty good as utility to mix into your move set and that's more fun, if not more effective, IMO.
I’ve waited for this one. You got me building anticiPation.
DK 64 was my most played game on that console, loved that.
On a serious note, despite how much i like all lf your content, please make more videos you have fun making, mental health is big important!
I agree with this. Make content that you enjoy. I come for Phill, not the game he is playing.
Imma be real honest here.
I love your content, and I always end up surprised and half dead with laughter at each musical reference for each part... I didn't see Will Wood coming any time soon.
I saw that title and i was like “I don’t know if you’re allowed to do that”
5:48 HOLY SHIT THAT WAS THE SWAGGIEST JUMP
I remember seeing a video that claimed ancient dragons like Fortissax only take stance damage if you hit them in the head, and specifically in the eyes. The lightning bolts explode into a mini-AoE when they hit their target, so you probably got some eye shots in there.
5:55 must be real cold in that room Phil
"Here here here we go" instantly knew he was going for a dk rapjoke
You know i was all ready to fight about the "too much water in Hoenn" but when you pointed out you need 3 water HM's I was reminded of my normal only playthrough I just completed and how I had to use a non normal pokemon because none of them could learn dive. You make a fair point.
This is the build that I had the most fun with in the DLC as of yet. I haven't yet tried out Messmer's spear and Fire Knight incantations, but I plan to soon.
EDIT: I actually used the Longhafted Death Knight Axe, not the Twin Axes, as the final jump-up-slam-down single massive blow was more consistent for me to make use of than the electric death-spin.
The fire becoming unquenchable after stopping the phase transition surprised me.
25:00 holy shit, Better Than Ezra reference! (sorry, I geeked. Fav band, lol)
“Lightning is the most blessed damage type.”
I understood that reference
Ope. The swaggiest of jumps, makes this build S tier.
Funnily enough i just did a similar run, although it was a 40 Str / 50 Fth split by the end of it and i allowed myself to use all the other dragon cult spells. Frozen lightning spear, ancient dragon lightning strike, and death knight lightning spear are all really fantastic spells and boosted by the armor. I only changed that strategy once, and that was with PCR, where i forsook the spells and just hit him really hard with the axe and a deflecting hard tear. Fun run
The Will Wood reference?!?!?!?!
Wasn't expecting the DK rap. Very considerate.
Much love to the sicko from Wisconsin who edits these
now, I *was* going to skip the sponsor read, but *damn* those locks came out good. Now I will watch it twice, out of envy
The second I saw this boss I have been waiting for Thas run
boggarts cumulative deaths have congealed into a putrescence that offers him solace from your AGGRESSION. MAH BOI BOGGART!
29:45 I'd watch a Memento like Tulok&Mango
I firmly believe that in an early alpha of the game, the water in Malenia's arena was rot
"How much fun was this" is SO much better as a tier list gauge than "how powerful is this".
Haven't finished the vid, but that swag "jump"? S TIER
Edit: damn nevermind
Okay now I want to watch Tulok play Donkey Kong 64.
11:13 well well well...
21:03 Tulok is right though. That was a good ass needle drop.
What is the song?
@@-beelzebub “Dead!” by My Chemical Romance
@@groovydude4511 thank you random citizen
20:15 it's not just you, ever since the pre DLC patch 1.12 the game eats inputs at times. I've noticed it mainly with parrying/deflecting and the char not jumping or refusing to initiate a run and I've seen a lot of ER DLC content where the players had similar situations. Looks like a bug to me, could also be connected to the framerates being lower in general, especially in the dlc
You missed the opportunity for "Godfrey 2; Electric Boogaloo"
was having fun until you mentioned hawk tuah
I love the idea of a intentially designed 5 player dark souls like monster hunter but with the dark souls/blood borne feel to it
11:34 my dream is a fromsoft game with honest-to-God raid bosses. They could pull it off, they'd absolutely cook
I'm sorry you were unhappy, hope you feel better💜
0:41 HOLY SHIT THATS ME!!!
Yeah Knight's lightning spear rips. Didn't know about the stance damage part before this, but just the damage alone cooks. But with the stance damage, it's top tier
The tiny axes do great damage if you use multi hit talismens, without them they are simply terrible.
Fun fact: Attacks like long-haft blinkbolt can actually headshot enemies, causing them to inflict extra stance damage.
“Damn, dude, get an axe.” 🤣
Hey I just realized with Blood Tax you can give yourself a full heal with just 70FP at 40 vigor (50FP with the crest). Idk guys, even tho this is unrelated to the video....Blood tax is so goood.
I just killed Mohg using mostly blood tax, as the status effect application is also good.
Okay so Will wood, Tom Mcdonald, and hawk tuah all in a few minutes, i feel all of my expectations subverted.
When you finished that intro I literally said "Jesus fucking Christ Phil" out loud.
Respect. Hella respect.
Yo, the itysl references are life
BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS MENTIONED 🗣❗️
Blinkbolt Swag jump put the EXACT same facial expression on my face.
11:00 IIRC Fromsoftware has been paying attention to the modding community (the whole community really) and have mentioned seamless co-op is an interesting concept for their games.
You can substitute some rakshasa pieces if you want the damage bonus but with a little higher poise
