True he did beat the campaign. Which for Monster Hunter games is basically the prelude tutorial. Waiting for him to get to the hard content if he doesn't quit beforehand.
@@markjosephhuerno3391 i mean the games been out for 6 years and asmon has talked about playing it for 4 of them... are you surprised they expected him to never play it? and to be clear, people have been wanting him to to the endgame monsters the entire time, they just thought he would quit before them. the endgame monsters are all people talk about in this game. alatrion fatalis etc
Nobody expected this,most people just expected him to give the game a fair try. But these have been some of the most fun streams I've ever seen Asmon doing. Incredible game really..
Just wish he woud take a little extra effort, to learn a few more mechanics such as wallbanging, flashpods, or farcasting. Would really send the stream next level.
Aren’t those all multiplayer tho? They aren’t even part of the story, but added in way later. From what I hear they are all hidden away in events and aren’t meant to be soloed?
@@FlynnStriderno the only true multiplayer-specific one was Extreme Behemoth, (i guess Safi and HR kulve taroth too) but fatalis and alatreon are scaled to 1-4 players properly. I beat fatalis solo first day it was released but barely in the 30-minute time limit. Multiplayer is actually not much easier unless everyone is a veteran as the 3-cart limit is pretty easy to trigger with a bad AoE
I was waiting so hard for his reaction to Spirit Bomb. But he's so focused on going big dick damage he somehow avoids it by getting behind Shara and doesn't even notice the coolest attack going off. TWICE. Twice he does this
For anyone curious as to why asmon didn't cart the first time he died to Vaal, it's not a food skill, it's the max level skill for the palico. Saves you from carting once.
@@SauceMaster- I just hope he eventually starts to do something else then relying on Palico save skill and DB. Even with all those he burns through the potions because he gets hit all the time, even when drinking the potion. And not even bringing in honey and herbs to make new potions.
@@VVabsa even making new potions is so easy in this game though, with all the gathering spots outside of real dedicated bosses. Newer players don't know... before World there was no auto-crafting, and potions required herb + blue mushroom... also, crafting would often fail unless you took up inventory slots to bring crafting manuals on hunts, of which there were *five.*
I just finished Iceborne a few days ago. I know that there's still several of the toughest monsters left in the endgame though. I hope I reach Fatalis, but after a games main bulk content/story is finished I usually lose motivation. I don't enjoy grinding and making builds for super tough endgame content all that much. I've done my fair share of that in other games. Maybe I will. This game is particularly good so maybe it'll keep my interest until the very end. But right now I'm at the point where I guess I just need to grind for gear and hunt the same monsters and tougher versions of the same monsters for a while. If my interest ever starts to wane it will be now. Wish me luck.
I’m glad to see you power through that. When i see how stressed you are after fighting velkhana, i thought that it wouldn't be surprising if you actually go back and farm that monster again and again until you master it. Congratulations for you, man. Big respect There's no greater satisfaction and revenge, than farming the enemy that once gave you a very hard time, then proceeds to make a full set equipment of it out of spite
@@unlimited971 imagine the monster's horror, when it sees a hunter came after it wearing suits made of its entire family. I know i'd be scared for my life, literally
Asmon: "The way i like to play the game is that i want to master the game" Also Asmon up to half way into DLC: "Im going to ban anyone who tells me to tackle" U do U but the irony here has a power of a nuclear bomb XD
"I want to master the game, so i'm gonna avoid any of the primary combat mechanics of the game" Same energy as i'm gonna play diablo and get highest season rift, but i won't use loot or abilities, just the basic attack/generator.
Im honestly shocked Never thought he'd make it this far, congrats Theres a few more things to learn but no rush, youll learn them over time Like how to superman dive from furious rajang😭
17:05 The way his long-awaited Midair Charged Slash into the mount synced perfectly with the music just gave me an orgasm On another note, congratulations Asmon, here's to conquering the black dragons.
Kulve Taroth, Safi'jiiva, Behemoth, Leshen, Alatreon, and Fatalis: Are we joke to you? Let's be real if he ever gonna do Behemoth and Leshen it'd be with MR armor so it'd be a pure breeze where he just face tank everything and only losing like 10-20% of his health.
@@Loxly-ti4sq nah man, Extemoth is still a bitch to fight. It's more possible to do it solo with MR gear but it's still recommended to do it in a party of 4.
Lol, the "beat tutorial" line has kinda lost its charm after people have used it like three times already. First beating low rank, then beating base game, and now beating base iceborne. Let's be real, beating base Iceborne is far beyond tutorial level. "The real game" doesn't start here, it started a long time ago. If anything, beating your first Anjanath is probably when you beat the tutorial and start getting into the real game.
apparently the community loves to shit on the game by preaching how it only has a dozen of "legit hunts" and a lot of filler content that doesn't matter hahaha idk why they would shit on their beloved game like that but hey priorities on the ego boost I guess hahaha 🤣
I'd honestly say all of Low Rank is an extended tutorial, but once you've entered High Rank you're definitely in the real deal. That's been the case for most MH games.
Hey Asmon. Great series. The Grinding Lands can get a bit stale so I think it’d be fun to see you try some new weapons while returning to Greatsword, naturally. Some Biggus Diccus suggestions: - Hammer. A weapon similiar to GS. Hard hitting, can charge attacks and does big dick damage. More mobile than GS though. - Switch Axe. A fusion between a Great Axe and a Great Sword. The GS can’t charge but it has a finisher, hits faster and is more mobile than the OG GS. - Charge Blade. A Big Dick weapon but its a grower not a shower. In its normal form its a sword and a great shield. The sword can gather energy from the monster and store it in phials. It transforms into a Great Axe that can dish out explosions from the energy gathered while in it’s sword and shield mode. Recommended skills (please correct me in the comments because I’m not an expert on some of these weapons): - Hammer: K. O. King. Increases K. O. Damage making it easier to stun monsters. Maybe Marathon Runner or Constitution. Not sure. - Switch Axe: Evade Extender. You’re gonna be rolling like a konchu chief. It’s gonna be great. Constitution for the stamina cost of rolling. Focus for the Sword meter to increase faster. - Charge Blade: Guard. The shield’s a good shield, can be powered up during battle allowing for even better defense and it can parry. Guard will decrease the knockback you suffer and the stamina you lose when you block, turning you into a tank. K. O. King, Impact Phial type CB’s can knock monsters out like hammers can using attacks coated in phial energy gathered by attacking the monster in SnS mode. That’s enough reading. Peace & stay blessed. Edit: some very helpful suggestions in the comments below regarding skills. Please see.
Imo, Power Prolonger is more worth it than Focus for Switch Axe because Focus gets you to amped state maybe 15-20% faster, but maxed Power Prolonger bumps your amp state from 45 seconds to a whopping 90. It also extends the power axe duration, not just the sword. I say this as a current Swag Axe user.
To add to the KO thing, I'm a HH main and there's a lot of overlap; three levels of Slugger isn't really worth it. The monster builds up stun resist pretty exponentially, so if you KO it three times with Slugger 2, then you're unlikely to get a fourth by slotting Slugger 3. You'll get your KOs SOONER, but will usually end up getting the same amount of knockouts. Experiment and see what the sweet spot is, for me I generally only run 1 Slugger (there are more diminishing returns because it goes 20%, 30%, 40%). I also play Swaxe, and Evade Window is really nice because your sidesteps have very few s. Also, slot one level of Earplugs! When you use ZSD, a very common Swaxe move, you automatically gain 4 Levels during the attack; if you slot Earplugs 1, that'll go to 5, and make you immune to being roared out of your biggest attack.
@@raulmaltrain6893 yea but getting the armor sets that activate that requires a pretty good amount of grinding as the only one I remember having it is gold rathian and that requires a pretty high MR level that I don’t think he has the focus to grind too
LoL, DB is rng. Don’t expect it will save yer arse every single time.

weapons in this game are quite well balanced, they have high stats in 1 area but weak stats in another, its like they have a power budget and it gets distributed between sharpness, affinity, element/status, attack, defense or even gem slots and you can compensate for whatever is missing or improving on things it already is good at by building your armor arround it
it actually true. Each rarity level has specific budget that needs to less or equal the rarity budget. I kinda forgot the exact math but it consider sharpness, affinity, slot, raw damage, elemental/status damage, and in the case of MHW the hidden status modifier.
Wall banging makes it easier but yes you don't need it. He's still far from beating the game tho. He needs to finish all quests first before he beats it
Big respect to the man. He's gone done the whole thing. It has been quite an entertainment watching your monhun journey. Good luck with the post-game hunts!
what a great playthrough, it's good to know he loved the game, a solid 9.5 is crazy, I hope you try the multiplayer, hunting in a group is a lot of fun, also trying out other weapons and stuff, II'm already looking forward to a MH: Rise playthrough, I think he will like because the combat goes insane and he cares a lot about gameplay, but until then, congratulations on beating Iceborne and welcome to the Hunters Guild, you are now officially an A-class Hunter! The challenges are not over yet, but you earned your space.
**To everyone saying he won’t be able to solo the event dragons!** The Devs put an update years ago making it to where dragons like Safi, Alatreon, and Fatalis can be solo’d as they’re given “Solo” quest health. It was a cool update.
Nice one mate. Been playing MH since the PSP days. Mental how far it's come. I honestly thought this game series would always be cult really but World changed all of that. Now it looks like not only will we get the games outside of Japan, we will also get worldwide release on the same day. Great times.
Finally he beat the second tutorial now is when the real game begins Raging brachydios, Alatreon, Fatalis, Arch Velkana and the Guiding lands multiplayer.
He steamrolled monster hunter without getting the basics down what a monster. I've seen players with hundreds of hours stuggle more than he did. Good job man! I hope you stick with the franchise you're a breath of fresh air in the community.
Asmon evolved, showing a new shinny color "Asmonblue Sapphire", proud of you asmon, and wait your trip to Kamura village, they need a Hunter like you!!
90% of the time monsters were only attacking the palico and the palico rarely took dmg or went K.O . Gameplay wise it felt as if attacking a target dummy while the mosters is taunted by an immortal tank with perma taunt who had cheats on or mods.
The best, most creepy part of the shara fight, when it opens it's eyes, it not looking at the hunter...it's looking at the camera, he's looking at YOU.
Funnily enough - that's not quite what it does, its eyes are convex, so it causes an optical illusion that it's always looking at you. So it isn't a game trick, it's actually a physical feature of the monster
@@totallynotanemu9165 It's EXACTLY what it does. How else do you program eyes to look straight at the player, especially when there's 4 of them? You give it convex eyes so everyone gets the same effect and the monster doesn't get a bloody seizure. Especially since in the cutscene that effect is NOT THERE.
Golden era of Asmon streams. I just wish i didnt start same time as him since i skipped a lot cuz of spoilers. Now that I'm caught up, I'll def rewatch everything from the beginning. Such an amazing game
I wonder if he'll play MHRise, I started playing it with a friend as a MHWorld player and dear God it's really good. Despite the graphics on TH-cam it surprisingly plays near perfect. And has even more than World
he said he'll try it but not right away since there's last epoch and dragon's dogma but I assume he's gonna play it a month or two before wild's release date
asmon should play with his friends who play this game, this game is super fun solo but its even more fun with people when you get good enough you just chill and talk about random stuff while hunting or hunt the hard stuff and its super intense even with other players!
GG BRO! GRATS on beating base Iceborne! His armor is pretty good if you farm him. Just a lot of HP. Now..... There is more hunts if you're up to it 😂 It's not over yet! Even though. Proud of you for making it his far man! You're up in our master ranks now! That last Nerg you fought? Was a Ruiner Nerg. Welcome to extra hard mode and he's one of the jerks in your way.
Something I’ve noticed is that he really doesn’t take time to prepare for each fight. Like the BV Vaal Hazak fight, no miasma decos and wants to complain about health drain mechanics. I feel like in so many situations he’s just made things harder on himself than they had to be simply because he’s to stubborn to make the appropriate adjustments. Just complains, it’s the games fault, not his😒
Congratulations Asmon!!! Do remember if you play the post game that it is supposed to be a challenge, even us veterans die on the final bosses still. I believe you can kill them all if you want to. Have fun with what you do next and see you in Rise and Wilds!!! Put them all in the box! 😀
Now I can't wait for the fights in the Guiding Lands and those two special Elder Dragons yet to come. But really I can't wait for him to fight the best boi, the dragon doggo, though I expect with how Asmon's progressing it won't be a hard fight as he has impressed me with how well he's doing only using half of his kit with GS and the Clutch Claw.
I Couldn't watch this series anymore, Started playing the other day and had to stop by and say this game is amazing and i slept on it so badly. I've been struggling to really get pulled into a game recently and this did just that. Thanks Capcom for making a great game.
Woo, easy parts of G-Rank is done, now it’s time for guiding lands/end game and tempered monsters, the monsters that give people nightmares. Also, good choice going through the story solo. Playing with people usually ends in a lot more failed hunts.
God damn, that Shara fight was an assclencher! Good stuff, Zack! Hope you'll consider going forward some more, there's a whole lot of content you haven't seen yet.
Speed Eating is good with GS because the quicker you heal, the quicker you can get back to attacking the monster rather than waiting forever for your bar to go up. Anything related to speed is good? SO Focus, Quick Sheathe, and Speed Eating will improve active battle. For sharpening, just get Great Whetfish fins to sharpen in one stroke? The Speed Sharpening skill isn't needed if you have those. Other good skills for GS are the anti BS skills or anti interuption skills, such as Earplugs, Wind Resistance and Stun Resistance. You will hardly get interupted with those skills.
Seeing him fight i remember why earplugs + flash standard use for me. Especially when they try to leave an area, the instant roar is hardly dodgeable and a flash keeps it there.
You can't skyrocket MR exp for Fatalis/Alatreon he will kill the same.monsters and if he wants the real challenge he gotta lvl up his guiding lands for augments and items which he won't do probably
5-10 hours? you mean at least 25-50 aint no way you can grind to mr 100 in 10 hours from where he is. plus all the monsters he has to kill, which some of them are harder than everything he just fought put together looking at you Fatalis, basically god himself
He did it... he actually beat the DLC... for a game, he said he would play
We are living in the TRUE gold era

@@zondor8123 that's also what I call that place, grinding for that FASHION baby.
what a great playthrough, it's good to know he loved the game, a solid 9.5 is crazy, I hope you try the multiplayer, hunting in a group is a lot of fun, also trying out other weapons and stuff, II'm already looking forward to a MH: Rise playthrough, I think he will like because the combat goes insane and he cares a lot about gameplay, but until then, congratulations on beating Iceborne and welcome to the Hunters Guild, you are now officially an A-class Hunter! The challenges are not over yet, but you earned your space.
Ready to see asmon beat fatalis
Well he's got a few more tests between now and Fatalis
He'll need more time if he wants to defeat fatalis
i think he gonna get heavy artillery,
If Asmon does fight Fatalis, we'll have to use vacation days to get out of work. That would be a GRUELING watch and play
He need to beat the wall of frustration first,alatreon,the one who always cart u out on the first hunt no matter who it is...before facing fatalis..
**To everyone saying he won’t be able to solo the event dragons!**
The Devs put an update years ago making it to where dragons like Safi, Alatreon, and Fatalis can be solo’d as they’re given “Solo” quest health. It was a cool update.
Nice one mate. Been playing MH since the PSP days. Mental how far it's come. I honestly thought this game series would always be cult really but World changed all of that. Now it looks like not only will we get the games outside of Japan, we will also get worldwide release on the same day. Great times.
I do hope it's world premiere day 1 or I'm gonna lose my mind.
I really love to see him trying behemot, safi, alatreon and Fatalis.
He finally met zinogre, the monster that got him to play MH, and it went and bailed out😂
Finally he beat the second tutorial now is when the real game begins Raging brachydios, Alatreon, Fatalis, Arch Velkana and the Guiding lands multiplayer.
It amazes me that he reached this point without learning wallbang or superman dive
he will need to learn it soon when he face raging brachy or just rajang. but who knows.
He steamrolled monster hunter without getting the basics down what a monster. I've seen players with hundreds of hours stuggle more than he did. Good job man! I hope you stick with the franchise you're a breath of fresh air in the community.
Phase 1 Shara is the ultimate part-break satisfaction given by capcom before phase 2, the pain.
Asmon evolved, showing a new shinny color "Asmonblue Sapphire", proud of you asmon, and wait your trip to Kamura village, they need a Hunter like you!!
This is probably asking for a lot but hopefully he gets to safi, alatreon, fatalis, and kulve
Thank you for making me relive this journey, it has been an absolute blast watching you play through all of it!
amazing work! glad you played through the entire game + dlc. hope to see you fight monke soon
As a gs player, every miss of the gs while fighting namielle gave me minor panic attacks each time
I can't watch him play honestly
Nice, he finished the prolong, now he can get into the real game.
Seeing asmon actually using pretty decent tcs movements, and shoulder bashing to position into incoming attacks makes me happy as a gs main
Wow. I got back into this November 4th. Been slowly working at it. And I'm a veteran from 2004. He beat me and it in 1 week lol.
2:50:16 Those were some great self-controlled tackles paid off well. When he gets more used to the game, he'll be unstoppable
Regarding hitboxes on breath attacks, you need to consider that the AOE includes the air blast. They make a lot of sense for me.
90% of the time monsters were only attacking the palico and the palico rarely took dmg or went K.O . Gameplay wise it felt as if attacking a target dummy while the mosters is taunted by an immortal tank with perma taunt who had cheats on or mods.
The best, most creepy part of the shara fight, when it opens it's eyes, it not looking at the hunter...it's looking at the camera, he's looking at YOU.
It's cool but unfortunately the armor set is not that good, the same thing as Xenojiva.
Funnily enough - that's not quite what it does, its eyes are convex, so it causes an optical illusion that it's always looking at you. So it isn't a game trick, it's actually a physical feature of the monster
@@totallynotanemu9165Dude, that’s cool!
@@totallynotanemu9165 It's EXACTLY what it does. How else do you program eyes to look straight at the player, especially when there's 4 of them? You give it convex eyes so everyone gets the same effect and the monster doesn't get a bloody seizure. Especially since in the cutscene that effect is NOT THERE.
Monster hunter fans going out of their way to tell everyone of this specific trivia
Golden era of Asmon streams. I just wish i didnt start same time as him since i skipped a lot cuz of spoilers. Now that I'm caught up, I'll def rewatch everything from the beginning. Such an amazing game
I wonder if he'll play MHRise, I started playing it with a friend as a MHWorld player and dear God it's really good. Despite the graphics on TH-cam it surprisingly plays near perfect. And has even more than World
I miss wirebugs so god damn bad dude
he said he'll try it but not right away since there's last epoch and dragon's dogma but I assume he's gonna play it a month or two before wild's release date
Xenoblade exists @@typhoon4994
@@typhoon4994that's the problem, Switch games still got the Switch graphics, they should have improved it when they port it to PC IMO
asmon should play with his friends who play this game, this game is super fun solo but its even more fun with people
when you get good enough you just chill and talk about random stuff while hunting or hunt the hard stuff and its super intense even with other players!
Dude I truly hope asmon can experience the last monster that starts with F.
He's finally out of tutorial part2, now time for the REAL game to begin
GG BRO!
GRATS on beating base Iceborne!
His armor is pretty good if you farm him. Just a lot of HP.
Now.....
There is more hunts if you're up to it 😂
It's not over yet!
Even though. Proud of you for making it his far man! You're up in our master ranks now!
That last Nerg you fought?
Was a Ruiner Nerg.
Welcome to extra hard mode and he's one of the jerks in your way.
Wow, he actually saw it through from start to (partial) finish! Props
I really hope he goes for alatreon and maybe even fatalis
Something I’ve noticed is that he really doesn’t take time to prepare for each fight. Like the BV Vaal Hazak fight, no miasma decos and wants to complain about health drain mechanics. I feel like in so many situations he’s just made things harder on himself than they had to be simply because he’s to stubborn to make the appropriate adjustments. Just complains, it’s the games fault, not his😒
Yay time for Safi, Alatreon, and Fatalis
He is now one of us. This addiction runs deep my friend good luck
Wow waht amazing, cant wait to see him start the GRINDing land
Congratulations Asmon!!! Do remember if you play the post game that it is supposed to be a challenge, even us veterans die on the final bosses still. I believe you can kill them all if you want to. Have fun with what you do next and see you in Rise and Wilds!!! Put them all in the box! 😀
Even someone who has 999 Fatalis kill counts. Cart once a month lol
I love seeing these as a hunting horn main from days of MH old!
Awesome to see Asmon beat the Iceborne campaign, hope he pulls through and grinds his way to Fatty and AT Velkhana
LESGOO, congrats asmon. But the game doesn't end here. Good luck in endgame.
Now I can't wait for the fights in the Guiding Lands and those two special Elder Dragons yet to come. But really I can't wait for him to fight the best boi, the dragon doggo, though I expect with how Asmon's progressing it won't be a hard fight as he has impressed me with how well he's doing only using half of his kit with GS and the Clutch Claw.
great work asmon, now join me in the eternal hunt to become the fashion hunter
His first actual wall will be Furious Rajang and Raging Brachydios. They're show stoppers for most.
Raging? How? He's a complete jobber.
hope him know this is not the end
this is the start of a great hunting journey
Damn, he tackled through an attack on instinct and got a TCS hit in the beginning.
Nice work, dude. You beat the freaking DLC, I was worried you would give up after the the bazel fight but nope. Now it's time to fight Rajang.
I Couldn't watch this series anymore, Started playing the other day and had to stop by and say this game is amazing and i slept on it so badly. I've been struggling to really get pulled into a game recently and this did just that. Thanks Capcom for making a great game.
Yes sir now for end game monsters!
People wanting him to fight fatalis right away just want him to fail miserably.
Everyone knows Capcom shouldn't have put Fatalis as low as they did.
Gotta say I'm having a blast watching this playthrough. I'm definitely in for more.
He should start getting into layered gear in post-game and do a transmog competition
Woo, easy parts of G-Rank is done, now it’s time for guiding lands/end game and tempered monsters, the monsters that give people nightmares.
Also, good choice going through the story solo. Playing with people usually ends in a lot more failed hunts.
Every time I see that ending cutscene with ruiner nerg I just think of the “I’m wolverine!” “Im saberrtooth!” Meme
Damn good job actually finishing a game asmon I do wonder will he try to beat safi, alatreon and fatalis?
God damn, that Shara fight was an assclencher! Good stuff, Zack!
Hope you'll consider going forward some more, there's a whole lot of content you haven't seen yet.
I won’t be satisfied until you beat Fatalis
I'll be happy as long as he at least tries to beat it, if he fails he fails
I’m glad Asmongold got to experience his first Monster Hunter. Also his surprise at Shaara Ishvalda waking back up was priceless.
The entire fight at 19:41 im on the floor laughing. xD
Speed Eating is good with GS because the quicker you heal, the quicker you can get back to attacking the monster rather than waiting forever for your bar to go up. Anything related to speed is good? SO Focus, Quick Sheathe, and Speed Eating will improve active battle. For sharpening, just get Great Whetfish fins to sharpen in one stroke? The Speed Sharpening skill isn't needed if you have those. Other good skills for GS are the anti BS skills or anti interuption skills, such as Earplugs, Wind Resistance and Stun Resistance. You will hardly get interupted with those skills.
Better yet don’t get hit you’re bad at the game lil bro try to be better
@@warrioremperor6320 Yeah because most people can take on Fatalis and Alatreon without getting hit. Not realistic.
I am so proud of you!!!!!
Seeing him fight i remember why earplugs + flash standard use for me. Especially when they try to leave an area, the instant roar is hardly dodgeable and a flash keeps it there.
Can't wait to see how much "fun" he'll have on Fatalis :p
Cant wait to see his reaction to rajang, savage, and alatreon. Don't remember if you need to beat safi before alatreon but still
Never played this game but after this I'm playing it
play it now
Dang u missed the big discount but good luck
the game was like what? 9 bucks? 20 I think for both base and iceborne
I mean,he can just pirate it
Crush it doood! so glad you made it. Last episode wasnt sure if youd make it any further :).
Asmon needs to get his streamer friends and go do kulve, safi, fatalis, and alatreon! 😭
Namielle is my favorite of the elder dragons in this game. Love the jellyfish vibe armor set is awesome too
The main story...now there's about 5-10 more hours of content left. Probably more if he decides to grind to MR100.
If he want to get to every monster in Iceborne alone, that's way more than 5-10 hours
Soloing the rest of the monsters under MR100 would be quite difficult. Definitely not happening in 5-10 hours lol.
You can't skyrocket MR exp for Fatalis/Alatreon he will kill the same.monsters and if he wants the real challenge he gotta lvl up his guiding lands for augments and items which he won't do probably
5-10 hours? you mean at least 25-50 aint no way you can grind to mr 100 in 10 hours from where he is. plus all the monsters he has to kill, which some of them are harder than everything he just fought put together looking at you Fatalis, basically god himself
it would take alot more hours if he want to reach mr100 the way he plays
I love how the whole fight he is "this is buslhit, i hate this, this is garbage, shitty boss". Then he kills it and "I wanna kill this one again"
Life of a greatsword main
1:52:34 ☺
2:37:31 🤬
Holy shit I forgot how long this game was. It's like every time you beat the game "but wait there's more!"
