If it tickles the (finger guns) nice part of your brain, you could even make a little table of olden ring levels to dnd levels that let you take 'feats' and bend the rules, so in your wizard run, you could get a feat for con save proficiency, then level vigor? Alright, done rambling now. Have a good one man, thanks for another fun time :D
Like the idea there are no kaiden sellswords in the Mountaintops because they've all been hired by the wandering nobles. Maybe they are sending money back to their zamor boyfriends
5:15 The gambler's fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy, occurs when an individual erroneously believes that a certain random event is less likely or more likely to happen based on the outcome of a previous event or series of events.
As someone with only a single monitor, I genuinely look forward to watching your videos every week, and I love all the stupid innuendos. They really put a knot in my stomach sometimes
We should start a culture where instead of automatically assuming the dumbest possible interpretation of what someone said, we should assume the smartest possible thing. Positivity makes me feel happy
I *LOVE* the Dismounter. Of all the weapons in ER, it's the only one I would want a replica of. I love how it looks, and I love using it ingame. The Kaiden's are also just badass. A bunch of mercs from the cold north who're just there to collect a paycheck and kick butt? Sign me up
There is something very enjoyable about seeing Tulok just zone out and enjoy a run with a fun weapon. I can't put my finger on it, but it's great every time.
Hmm idk "Rule #1: The rules are inconsistent" is a rule for Tulok & Mango challenges, "Rule #1: Don't get grabbed" is a rule for Elden Ring itself. Far as I'm concerned, the consistency of that rule checks out. Hope you enjoyed today's entry of Comment Section Pedantry.
Got the dismounter on my first kill on my first playthrough fifteen minutes in, used it until leyndell without knowing that it was one of the best swords in the game (at least for early game)
Pretty sure that the kaiden left the mountaintops because of the erdtree and fire giant war. And they were broke so they became mercenaries. im also pretty sure they were bought by the wandering nobles and thats why they’re always with them? That makes the most sense imo. Anyways absolutely love your videos.
7:55 Howl of Shabriri is very unique due to it buffing all damage (physical and elemental) by 25% which makes it a much better Flame, Grant Me Strength that also increases the damage you take so it should definitely at least be in "Fine" tier. Howl of Shabriri + Golden Vow is a straight up broken combination. The damage negation form Golden Vow also makes the extra damage taken from Howl of Shabriri negligible enough.
One thing I'm curious about is why we never see any kind of Kaiden settlement. They mention it's in the north, and you see them in the Consecrated Snowfield. But there's no actual location on the map that would indicate that it's their home base.
best guess is that kaiden _isn't_ part of the lands between; they're full-on foreign mercenaries that cross the seas to find work though, the lands between is just weirdly vacant of settlements in general. you've got like the ailing village, summonwater village, academy town, village of the albinaurics, frenzied flame village, jarburg, those fire monk camps in liurnia, sellia, hermit village, prison town, windmill village, leyndell, and ordina. and i guess street of sages ruins implies there might've been a settlement that got consumed by the swamp of aeonia? regardless, even accounting for space compression due to conservation of detail, it really makes you question how many people even really lived in the lands between during its heyday, because you've got leyndell and academy town and ... _maybe_ sellia and you've gone through all the significant population centers, leaving only rural hamlets and ghettos of minority populations and, like, did you notice how none of those population centers are in limgrave and it has all of two villages spread across all its land? isn't that weird to think about, how such an iconic part of everyone's experience of this formerly great theocracy is just ... like, unsettled wilderness? i guess most of limgrave's population could've been concentrated in the castles and forts built upon the frontier, but then there's the chunk of the peninsula that is tombsward with its titular catacombs and two whole churches and a whopping population of one ( 1 ) nomadic merchant squatting in some rundown shack on the beach. it's just kinda surreal how there's just ... _nothing_ i think i have an idea of what caused this, considering how the legacy dungeons and eternal cities seem to have plenty of room for living quarters and the like, and looking back at the undead parish and the like which pull the same thing off. it's the lack of dead space in the lands between's open world that they can fill with ambiguous buildings just outside of the play area, so what you get is what you see and that's a whole lot of open fields to ride torrent around and find minidungeons in still, makes me wish they put more thought into the commonfolk of this big ol' world
Thanks for being there on the other monitor You really do make working a lot more bearable Edit - And the skill =/= talent support for us artists? You're a real one
After watching this, I decided to farm a dismounter on my NG run for the DLC I got it on beedrill, Phil is absolutely right about it, if it has great in the name it's great
Spell enjoyer, curved greatswords are a great weapon class. I love the look of the monks flame blade and I GET STANCE DAMAGE with the cool sword. Also the double hit on the second charged attack is a cool gimmick
Fun Fact: My first build in Elden Ring were two dismounters with the kaiden armor. I stuck with it until Fire Giant, where the BS belly fire made me respec and grab the rivers of blood
OMG !!! A full Art Vandelay episode ... exclusive and members only !? I never was this close to paying for a YT membership. You almost got me. "SERENITY NOW"
My favorite run to do with the Rusted Anchor is fantasy ship captain cosplay. Get the anchor, put earthshaker on it, then get a bunch of spirit ashes that represent the ship's crew. The ancestral follower for the minotaur master of arms. The vulgar militia and demi human gang for goblin cabin boys. A few of the two to three soldier/knight ashes for generic crew. And Aurelia and the greatshield squad to round out the roster. Main strength, vigor, and mind and off-hand the meteorite staff for key sorceries, so you don't really need to put too much into intelligence for most of the run.
You’ve GOTTA make a godslayer greatsword build cause you only have to kill the apostle at the bottom of the tower so it’s a “secret starting class” overpowered….. yea but it would be fun to watch
I just did a whole playthrough with the Dismounter sword. Definitely one of my top 5 favorite weapons in the game. It just checks so many boxes for me. Not the best at anything but very good at everything. Love that this video exists 😁
i have a secret starting class recommendation. an aristocrat/wandering noble, you have access to the nobles slender sword, nobles estoc, torch, casting staff, a couple different pieces of armor, and the summons.
Today I learned that hitting things with damage may cause them to die. Great curved weapons do raw "smarm" damage. I love turtles . . . and lamp. Thank you Tulok & Mango.
oh, something you said reminded me of a fan-story, where some powerful beings were playing a weird game with the protagonists, and one of them said something like, "one of the rules is that, if YOU figure out what the rules are, we have to change them!" oh, and when you said you were tempted to put "20 minute of nothing at the end", that reminded me of a TRUE story where some "pay-per-view" cable company turned a ONE MINUTE boxing match (first-round knockout) into an HOUR-LONG program with 59 minutes of commercials!
Have you tried the Reforged mod? That might be an interesting series if you want to try new stuff, since they rebalanced everything and made stuff work together better.
How many secret starting classes is this now? As always a great video, your tips help my runs in Elden Ring go much smoother. Thank you and have a great one
I would like to clarify that I watch your videos while I’m cooking and drinking (yes at the same time) not when I’m on the toilet. Toilet time is me time thank you very much.
My very first run of Elden Ring was with 2 Dismounters and the full Kaiden set! I started as a Wretch and didn't know what to go for, so I just went with that because I thought they looked cool
Absolutely love your content! It's always great to see a "preview" of how my similar build is gonna go with Tulok's "This video is suitable for children" playthroughs!
What about a Ringwraith/Witch King Of Angmar build? Poison straight sword and/or a heavy flail, Man-Serpent spirit ash since it's the closest thing to a Nazgul i could find and some dark armor set or fia's set for the fashion
Just finished the video-good puns and jokes. Would recommend. Speaking of which, have you walked a mile or the whole map in Finlay’s rotten greaves? You know: walking from Caelid to the Haligtree with a heavy equip load (as if carrying someone), no summons…and not fighting Rykard? 👀
pure cleric build is probably the most fun run I've done in ds3, wonder if it would be fun in elden ring? I used ashen estus, only miracles for healing my health. Created many tense moments of just barely getting off a heal.
I wont lie, the Kaiden Armor is my absolute favorite set in the entire game. Basically every time I hit NG+ since I got thr game (Im in NG+2 right now), I go back to Kaiden armor. I aspire to beat the game while wearing it. I am a Mage focused build (recently maxed my Int, and been slowly buffing Faith so I can use all the buff spells). But I do enjoy using Greatswords when saving on Flasks and FP.

Or in short:

their armor says they are from the mountain tops of the giants. but somehow I have never seen a single one of them up there
They probably moved away because there's nobody left there to hire them.
There is exactly one of them in the Consecrated Snowfield. Just sort of chilling there against a rock watching someone dig.

I knew you had connections to FS, dropping hints like this :p
There is something very enjoyable about seeing Tulok just zone out and enjoy a run with a fun weapon. I can't put my finger on it, but it's great every time.
I'm just glad you chose the Kaiden sellswords over the Ashley sellswords.

If anybody grabes you it's usually guaranteed death😂😂😂😂
That's funny that you asked, "Where are the Great Katanas?" and VOILA...SOTE includes Great Katanas.
That Fine section in the incantations list is bigger than I expected. Happy to see that there are some vaguely usable ones by Barbrarian standards.
I love how, according to the lore, the sellswords have a weapon that’s specifically designed to take out only other sellswords.
