@mankakez great video my guy 😊 I'm not sure I'd want to disrespect your efforts by copying your video, congrats on completing the run and look forward to more from you!
Oh boy! If only I did research before filming my videos! Really though, thanks. I didn't know that, I don't use sorceries. Maybe it'll come in handy in another run :)
dude while i was watching this vid i was thinking that you were a super big youtuber with thousands of subscribers just to find out that you’re making this premium, hilarious content with only 305 subscribers? genuinely insane how good this vid was with how little audience it’s reached. you’re super underrated bro
Something that will help during training: Don’t take their crap personally. Try your hardest, and just push through. I also found that when you feel like you can’t give any more, just get angry to squeeze out that last bit of motivation to keep you going. Good luck, and nice job on that run.
every time i find a low view soulsborne challenge run i Must watch it and i am Always impressed with the quality of the video. another fantastic example here, and once again i find JK leeds and lemon have already left their marks. Keep going man, great stuff!
The Cleric's Candlestick is an interesting intersection between one of the strongest weapon classes (straight swords) and a sorcery casting tool. While there are multiple melee/casting weapons in the game (Heysel Pick, Golden Ritual Spear), the straight sword R1 is arguably the nost versatile attack in the game. It requires little commitment, coming out fast and being very stamina efficient. The other casting weapons may have the ability to buff their damage with Steady Chant, more hitstun (Pick) and more range (Spear), but the light attacks on the Candlestick are what keeps it in serious contention and prevents it from being strictly worse than its competitors. As for some secret sauce, I believe the sword has its hitbox fully active during spells like Farron Flashsword and Soul Greatsword, as other catalysts do. That said, the lack of general poise in DS3 makes using the latter in close combat tricky, and the blade itself provides minimal damage support. Even so, the Flashsword can net almost double damage if you manage to land both the spell _and_ the blade, making it one of the most powerful FP to damage casts in the game. This same information follows suit for the other casting weapons, but the Candlestick's lesser range works in its favour to better double-hit smaller targets. It's an odd reverse bell curve to be on, but that's the thing: You'll never find anything quite like the Cleric's Candlestick. Good luck on your journeys from here. I've only recently seen your work, but you'll do amazing if you dedicate yourself to the Air Force as much as this run. Take care!
This video genuinely deserves more views. You’re a god gamer fs. You’ve earned a sub for the pain this run has put you through, good luck in the Air Force and I can’t wait to see more from you.
I have never been so enthralled by a video based around such an aweful weapon, first of yours ive ever watched aswell and absolutely loved it!! Gotta replay this game tomorrow, its been far too long
Liked this video. I like seeing the boss weapons and other unique weapons get some runs dedicated to them. A lot of fun for me to watch Also nice JK Leeds reference. He’s a cool dude and his videos are great.
I haven't watched Zullie in a long time lol, I just think the Twilight Princess soundtrack is nice. As I was using it too I realized some songs sound a LOT like dark souls songs
Some tips for folk struggling with Midir on an actual build (from someone who is bad at the game): Be patient, Midir is a marathon boss, focus on learned how long his tantrums last and how to dodge, he will attack many times before you are done so you'll need to know how to not get hit. Simple can help as well since it's a long fight. Midir's downtimes are short, I was just barely able to get one hit in most of the time (even with a pretty quick weapon), learn the timing/spacing so you can get it after almost every attack or you'll be there all week. Stay mid-close range, long range will trigger the hard to predict laser attack and being under will get you hit by the tail. To avoid the laser, I found success by just running straight at him, he can't aim it that close, you can get a few hits if you do this right. And if you weren't aware: The summon is dumb and bad Lightning is the most damage okay but still not great Do not stand still during the laser, it will find you.
Came from the Backlogs, laughed & loved the run, left with a smile & subscription. Proud of ya beating Midir for the first time, I struggled for a long time my first playthrough, and now it's one of my favorite boss fights. Good luck in the service & looking forward to seeing more from you!
I once made a build centered around the cleric candlestick and using the crystal weapon spell on it using the archery tumble buff glitch. It was actually really good after you buff it with the crystal weapon spell lol. Did respectable but not broken damage and had okay spell damage. Felt really good to use. Turned a shitty weapon into a decently good weapon!!
Prolly never felt so proud of somebody, fkng congratulations man, you deserve it, you should watch a lot more chalenges, theres a hole lot of things to learn and consider to do challenges better
As a fella that works for the Air Force can’t say how great it is to hear that you’re joining up. Hope you make the most of it and it leads to you finding your career niche because my time in definitely helped me find mine!
27:31 JOHN DARKSOUL BABYYYYYYY, YOU CAN'T BEAT THE MASTER BEATER!!! YEEEEEEAHHH!!!!!!! (Also, big W on joining the Air Force. Gonna miss you, but it's a nice step up!)
@@mankakez I gotcha, you’ll likely be placed into the delayed entry program for a bit while they locate an available job for you and get you basic training dates. You can give the recruiters an earliest ship out date so that if doesn’t interfere with anything else you’ve got going on as well, so I would encourage you to visit the recruiters sooner rather than later or you may end up with a gap between your current job ending and actually joining, especially if there’s a job you really want. Wait periods to leave can range from weeks to months depending on what job you get.
As someone who is going into the Navy in November I say congratulations on your acceptance into the chAIR force. ;) I wish you luck in both your military career and your youtube one
Actually as I was editing the video I realized, the Twilight Princess soundtrack sounds VERY similar to the Souls soundtracks. Especially with the songs from the Faron areas of the game
Good for a casual run.... cant wait to try this beast weapon, without spells on NG+ (btw you had most broken spell pestilent mist that can just melt yhorm lmao or any boss)
the weapon is an super offhand sword since it can cast and is a straigt sword so it combos in greatsword like cast l1 rollcatch combo into r1 greatsword
Also it'll probably be longer than a couple months mate, basic and tech school take normally 5-6 months and you probably won't have time to upload in that time lol.
Make sure you guys share this video with your friends :)
I would also really appreciate if you guys could help spread this video so JK Leeds and the Backlogs could see the challenge :)

15:40 despite having 300 hours in this game and all achievements I’ve never actually seen anyone get hit by the dragon spit until now.
Bros got the sleeper as his pic lol
Holding the scholars candle stick in the left hand gives a 5% magic damage increase

Fantastic production quality and gameplay, keep up the good work!
Dude this is the first video I’m seeing by you, but I love the twilight princess background music. Makes me nostalgic :)
This video goes under the candle stick
new souls youtuber dropped. cant wait to see you grow bro. dont forget me when you got a 100k subs
Of course man :)
Liked this video. I like seeing the boss weapons and other unique weapons get some runs dedicated to them. A lot of fun for me to watch

I definitely wanna do more boss weapon runs going forward, thanks for watching :)
@@mankakezwell whenever it’s possible I’ll gladly watch.
You’re welcome. I enjoyed it.
yo enjoy your time in basic/boot camp. also really nice video. love the editing style and positivity.
Big fan of challenge videos, and this style of editing reminds me of the late great Mittensquad. Subscribed.
I actually started challenge running because of Mittensquad :) he's a huge inspiration
TP soundtrack is sooooo nice 😩❤️🔥
great job baby :) super excited to see your video and channel taking it off the way it deserves :)
candle bearer wakes up, kills god
Nice video you did there and same here with all my playtime in ds3 i‘ve never beaten midir
Ahh, taking musical cues from Zullie the Witch I see! That's a lotta Kingsfield!
I haven't watched Zullie in a long time lol, I just think the Twilight Princess soundtrack is nice. As I was using it too I realized some songs sound a LOT like dark souls songs
Remember back when you were just starting out back in 2018, glad youre growing bro!
Yeah man, it's crazy to look back isn't it? And you're doing great things too :)
@@mankakez frrrr, and I appreciate it bro, gonna start posting more
Great video man! hats off for beating Midir with that kind of weapon lol.
Lol thanks, pestilent mist was a HUGE help
Parrying Sullivan in da NUTZ is crazy ain’t gonna lie what a way to go
That's so real
Looks like The Almighty Algorithm's decided to give this one a little boost. Well deserved.
