We're down the waterfall with Aunty Finchy this week, exploring the roots of the Erdtree. For more details on how you can support RKG and get more of what we make, head over to: / rkg
Read this before seeing the moment and thought “Oh no, what’s Rory done now?” As soon as he swapped to the lightning spear after proccing bleed on top of frostbite, I knew EXACTLY a what he’d done 😂
Rory's decision making is absolutely insane sometimes...I'm amazed he manages to always turn up to the office in clothes and hasn't just randomly decided to wear a bacon sandwich instead
It’s for the best, lest he fall victim to the jump attack spam curse that afflicts so many. Nothing worse than watching Jump + Heavy 100 times in a row.
Hi there! I live in Japan. Here’s everything you need to know about the “privacy” button on toilets. Yes, the volume is controllable. You can make it louder or softer. And start and stop it anytime you want. It plays the sounds of running water and birds chirping. The loop is only like 5 seconds long. It is there so that you don’t get embarrassed when people hear you using the toilet. This country is wacky.
Dying from the moment where Rory has somehow managed to confuse Tigger (who is just a tiger) with Gonzo and the origin story given to Gonzo in Muppets From Space. Phenomenal crossed wires there.
I'm so relieved that you're using the summons more. They're so much fun and the mimic tear in particular is hilarious. I was worried we wouldn't get to see much of them because of people crying that Powers is op. So thank you 💗

I have completed this game half a dozen times and never once actually read the description of the Elden Stars incantation!! Loving this playthrough, very grateful for Krupa's deep dive into the lore for the benefit of everyone's experience!
I love that Rory’s answer to not being over encumbered is running pantless with the best chest armor hahaha series is getting good! The roots run deep!
I know I’m a bit behind but this is one of the funniest episodes of the series, Ant Murphy Man and the Flamboyant bear bits had me laughing so much 😂 The banter bus is fuelled to the max - keep up the amazing work x
The number of different tactics attempted just once before moving on, despite all being viable against that bear; absolutely classic 😅 "Just use the sword!" 😅
I don't know if you noticed this already, but when you summon aunty finchy, she comes with whatever weapons you have in your hands' main slot. So she either uses the sword or the talisman, she doesn't switch between them. Just another layer of strategy you might wanna think about.
Another roller coaster of an episode, ranging from frustration to absolutely pissing myself laughing. The whole Cillian Murphy - Antz comparison bit was gold (it just kept going, and the images coming up multiple times was *chef's kiss*), but I also just lost it when Krupa said he hoped Siluria wasn't gonna use the grab attack, and then she did it.
Rory is a freaking maniac- the second I get in a cave I’m equipping my lantern. The second I respawn I go directly to get my runes and make sure I kill anything near them from a distance. The second I have enough runes for a level I go level.. Rory is just “fuck it…. Tacticssssss”
9:20 Radahn was nerfed, but they just fixed his hit boxes because they were nuts on release. They made his health lower, but they fixed it back after a week or so. The main issue with release was with Mohg because Varre’s quest wouldn’t work offline. So unless you found the teleported, you were screwed. Also, Rory is MAD lucky he gets to experience Elden Beast the way it should have been since release. Being able to ride Torrent there now is a GAME CHANGER.
They've been underleveled almost all game tbh.. On top of, before the reallocation, Rory spread his levels too thin. But I almost feel like it was by Dan's design.
They definitely want a harder fight for better content, which I totally get, but it’s incredibly frustrating when Rory will throw away sizable amounts of runes with his careless play.
The whole episode I was thinking "if they use a fire spell they can reset frostbite and get the big hit of damage from activating it again", and then mimic Auntie did that by chance and they were like "nooooo" 😂
I wonder if the increased damage from frostbite works with the hemorrhage from bleed. I know let me solo her had one of his katanas specced with frost so I'd assume that was part of his strat.
Step 1: Level up Intelligence, but use a twinblade without Intelligence scaling. Step 2: Reallocate stats, moving them out of Intelligence. Step 3: Change katana scaling to Intelligence. I don't know what Step 4 is but I'll be surprised if it's profit! Love all your videos. Please don't take my jests as jabs. I just really enjoy this series!
Rory, famously has bad eyes, also likes the extra challenge of playing in pitch black without using the lantern. Hes O.P 1:30:22 felt the exhaustion in Krupa there 😂. Must be thinking "ive finally got him to respec and use war ashes, i won't push the armour or he'll blow up"
1:33:52 Before Rory gets shoulder checked you can see he swapped to the lightning spear. He got ironically bailed out by dying before he could do something dumb and then die. 😂
I'm pretty sure the reason the bleed isnt proccing as often as you'd think is because a lot of the enemies you guys have fought since switching to the katana have been made of stone (gargoyles) or wood (erdtree avatar)
Sometimes it’s just painful to watch Rory, it’s like his mind only has finite space so he forgets something each time he learns something. Has the lantern (and questionable eye sight) and refuses to use it
I was NOT expecting the bear to take up a full 30 minutes of the episode 😂started to worry we wouldn't see Siluria killed in this one. Looking forward to the next one!
Confession: I lost faith in conquering the bear before the end of the episode and skimmed ahead. Powers defeated it 30 seconds later…I’m ashamed of myself.
Its been funny watching Krupa try and get Rory to just put his staff/seal in his right hand so he can keep his sword in his hand. Feel like if he tried it he'd love the ability to switch between lightning and katana stomps on the fly instead of holding and shield that isn't really used anymore.
@@jomega_gaming yeah, exactly. I *think* that's why he's been trying to get him to swap, but Rory just doesn't wanna listen 😔 I hope Krupa just kinda makes him switch it to try it out
i hope at some point we stop this weird situation where theres just no upgrading summons. theres so many fun summons to use like jarwright but not upgrading them when the materials are easy to come by just means its defaulting to mimic tear everytime no matter what
You boys had me cracking up at this latest edition of Actors as Bugs chat. Now we just need a teamup between Cillian Murphy as a Giant Ant with Jeff Goldblum as the Human Fly. Also, "JUST USE THE SWORD" as the next t-shirt perhaps?
I've just changed my whole set up & outfit for the DLC & I'm actually wearing an altered version of the Crucible Tree Amour, so quite incredible you've just found it on this episode.
Im sure someone mentioned it already and I have no idea how far ahead yall are with the recordings, but the new ER patch even outside of the dlc adds a new inventory tab that shows you recently picked up items! Itll be amazing for you guys but you have to turn it on in the game menu for some reason.
I have 250+ hours in this game and have been a heavy faith user and only now from this episode realized I can use incants while on Torrent!! I always have the seal in my left hand (mainly to buff weapons) so I always assumed it was unavailable. I could have been lighting up dragons etc. while on horseback this whole time had I only just had the seal in the other hand 😮
I was just playing the DLC and found the catacombs where Mike Zaki buried the piss-take. The Catacombs of Taking the Piss. I can't wait to hear Rory's thoughts on the place. Though, I can imagine the sentence, "this is a piss-take," will be included.
*Deals 95% of the Bear's hp in damage with the sword* Rory's thought process: "Perfect, now I'll switch to throwing fully charged up lightning spears while in melee range to finish him off" 😂
It's so funny watching Rory play these games. Literally if he had 10% more patience he'd halve the amount of time it takes him to do stuff. Dan: "Use the horse, get away from the bear." Rory: "Sure thing!" *moves 5ft away and is surprised when he gets hit again*.
Addressing Gavs comment about Radhan - I believe there was an issue with his hitboxes that was patched after release. However, this patch (somehow) unintentionally nerfed his damage, so a later patch specifically reversed the nerf. Basically a long way of saying that as of today I believe Radhan now hits just as hard as he did on day 1!
I felt Krupa's despaired "JUST USE THE SWORD" with every fibre of my being
Read this before seeing the moment and thought “Oh no, what’s Rory done now?” As soon as he swapped to the lightning spear after proccing bleed on top of frostbite, I knew EXACTLY a what he’d done 😂
Rory's decision making is absolutely insane sometimes...I'm amazed he manages to always turn up to the office in clothes and hasn't just randomly decided to wear a bacon sandwich instead
Blows my mind that Rory has learned to basically understand ashes of war but the jump attack still eludes him.
It’s for the best, lest he fall victim to the jump attack spam curse that afflicts so many.
Nothing worse than watching Jump + Heavy 100 times in a row.
Doubly ridiculous when you consider that he is the ‘tactics’ king
What was once his signature "tactic" is now sadly, a lost art. Anyone know if he has lion's claw?
Haven't heard a "tactics" used in so long
Guard counters too. Those carried me through the game. I was hopeful when Daniel brought it up again but it went in one ear and out the other lol
Rory's inability to resist doing the most impulsive, chaotic thing possible is both hilarious and makes me want to scream... JUST USE THE SWORD
I reacted loudly when he got back on Torrent vs Runebear and tried the mounted combat instead of running away
He has to have some form of ADD or something. Even if undiagnosed. He seems very frantic.. Too often.
I still cannot fathom how you guys aren’t the biggest let’s play series on TH-cam. Loving it boys ❤
Us neither. Tell your mates. Cheers 😘
Hi there! I live in Japan.

This country is wacky.
As soon as Krupa said "It would be nice to kill the bear" I knew it was time to settle in
This 😂
When the double ant photo popped up with just Cillian’s eyes! That wrecked me 😂
It's the wrong ant as well 😅 it's the female one
Dying from the moment where Rory has somehow managed to confuse Tigger (who is just a tiger) with Gonzo and the origin story given to Gonzo in Muppets From Space. Phenomenal crossed wires there.
Spending an unnecessary amount of time fighting a non critical enemy while repeatedly changing working tactics for absolutely no reason is peak Powers
I still can’t believe you guys paid a live orchestra to make the intro song. It’s amazing and sounds like something from the game
Krupa's office-esk moments of looking directly down the camera out of pure frustration are 👌
I'm so relieved that you're using the summons more. They're so much fun and the mimic tear in particular is hilarious. I was worried we wouldn't get to see much of them because of people crying that Powers is op. So thank you 💗
i love that when aunty finchy gets summoned she does all the stuff that powers wanted to do at some point but forgot about hahaha
This episode gave me strong S1 PTT flashbacks;P
Rory being sweet oblivious self, Daniel almost loosing his mind and Gav having time of his life:D
Don't worry Rory, I liked your "the Elden ring was shattered" joke. 25:21
I love so much when the boys riff on a silly idea during an episode. That 20 minutes on Cillian Murphy is the best 20 minutes of my week.

I watched Rory fight a goddamn rune bear over 3 seperate meals and loved every second of it
“If ya can’t handle a bit of gluten in ya pints then f*** off wokey” 😂 starting Saturday off perfectly🙌
I genuinely look forward to watching this show every Saturday morning
Rune Bear Panic is an Elden Ring rite of passage! Can't have a playthrough without it!
Krupa you’ve done an amazing job of guiding Rory through this game. Oversized hats off to you sir 👏
Best time of the week let’s go!!
I have completed this game half a dozen times and never once actually read the description of the Elden Stars incantation!! Loving this playthrough, very grateful for Krupa's deep dive into the lore for the benefit of everyone's experience!
I love that Rory’s answer to not being over encumbered is running pantless with the best chest armor hahaha series is getting good! The roots run deep!
The new Recent Items tab added on the last patch is gonna be an absolute game changer.
"Whats the Plan?"
"Ok, first we fuck about and die a load, then we listen to Daniel"
A rune bear
A new weapon art
A small shield
We're so back
My week ends amazing once more. Plus, this intro always get me hyped for the next week
I know I’m a bit behind but this is one of the funniest episodes of the series, Ant Murphy Man and the Flamboyant bear bits had me laughing so much 😂 The banter bus is fuelled to the max - keep up the amazing work x
The number of different tactics attempted just once before moving on, despite all being viable against that bear; absolutely classic 😅 "Just use the sword!" 😅
The one time Rory remembers to bring his glasses and he doesn't even wear them untill he gets reminded that he brought them.
Better than the times where he says he's brought them and still never puts them on. 🥲
I don't know if you noticed this already, but when you summon aunty finchy, she comes with whatever weapons you have in your hands' main slot. So she either uses the sword or the talisman, she doesn't switch between them. Just another layer of strategy you might wanna think about.

Wait... What you can ride torrent there now?!
@@angel0fdeath667 yep. Update came with the dlc
33:17 He's not even level 70?😂 His playstyle already makes it hard mode let alone being underlevelled.
They've been underleveled almost all game tbh.. On top of, before the reallocation, Rory spread his levels too thin. But I almost feel like it was by Dan's design.
They definitely want a harder fight for better content, which I totally get, but it’s incredibly frustrating when Rory will throw away sizable amounts of runes with his careless play.
Watching your playthrough honestly is like playing this for the first time. I didn't even know this place existed!

Love all your videos. Please don't take my jests as jabs. I just really enjoy this series!
Also, if anything, the more inefficiently you boys play the better!
I want this series to keep running until we're all old and grey.
@@TrulyLoathsomeThe amount of capture cards they'd need 😂
Rory, famously has bad eyes, also likes the extra challenge of playing in pitch black without using the lantern. Hes O.P
1:30:22 felt the exhaustion in Krupa there 😂. Must be thinking "ive finally got him to respec and use war ashes, i won't push the armour or he'll blow up"
This episode has some of the best deaths over any of the series.
1:33:52 Before Rory gets shoulder checked you can see he swapped to the lightning spear. He got ironically bailed out by dying before he could do something dumb and then die. 😂
Ahahaha damn Powers and that bear fight drove me mental 😂
lol almost made me turn it off tbh
Rory spending forever on a Rune Bear when Fortisaxx is around the corner lol
I'm pretty sure the reason the bleed isnt proccing as often as you'd think is because a lot of the enemies you guys have fought since switching to the katana have been made of stone (gargoyles) or wood (erdtree avatar)
It’s also the fact that infusing the katana with cold has lowered its bleed build up
Rory: 🤔 I'll go get my glasses
*Several hours later*
Rory: 😵
Gav trying to buy magic mushrooms is so funny. I would love to see a let's play where he's on them
Sometimes it’s just painful to watch Rory, it’s like his mind only has finite space so he forgets something each time he learns something. Has the lantern (and questionable eye sight) and refuses to use it
He suffers from a poor graphics card and low RAM but his CPU is decent 😂
Glitch master goldfish would be fitting 😂
Just what you need on a sick day - to the fools! X
Siluria's woe was my absolute favorite weapon in the game. The charged L2 attack takes out anything, so unbelievably strong and satisfying
I was NOT expecting the bear to take up a full 30 minutes of the episode 😂started to worry we wouldn't see Siluria killed in this one. Looking forward to the next one!
1:27:44 - I don't think I've ever seen a better example of perfect comedic timing
Confession: I lost faith in conquering the bear before the end of the episode and skimmed ahead. Powers defeated it 30 seconds later…I’m ashamed of myself.
You should be. Shame, shame, shame
RKG: Who is the most flamboyant bear?
Me: The straights don't know what they've just asked
Back-to-back feature length bangers!
I’m trying to follow along and hit the stories beats with the lads in prep for the DLC.
After a 13-hour session of Shadow of the Erdtree, it's good to watch some Retry and hang in simpler times with the lads 😻
I can’t believe no one is talking about Rory, the avid muppet boy of the group, completely forgetting muppets in space and replacing gonzo with tigger
Its been funny watching Krupa try and get Rory to just put his staff/seal in his right hand so he can keep his sword in his hand. Feel like if he tried it he'd love the ability to switch between lightning and katana stomps on the fly instead of holding and shield that isn't really used anymore.
Lol. He's gonna need to switch if he wants to imbue is sword. 😅
@@jomega_gaming yeah, exactly. I *think* that's why he's been trying to get him to swap, but Rory just doesn't wanna listen 😔 I hope Krupa just kinda makes him switch it to try it out

Gav going in on us gluten sufferers was not how I thought this would start 😂😂😂😂
28:22 Rory missed the chance to say "H ant some" man.
You boys had me cracking up at this latest edition of Actors as Bugs chat. Now we just need a teamup between Cillian Murphy as a Giant Ant with Jeff Goldblum as the Human Fly.
Also, "JUST USE THE SWORD" as the next t-shirt perhaps?

Itll be amazing for you guys but you have to turn it on in the game menu for some reason.
I wonder how long they will run around with less health, because they have Fia's blessing.
Another banging episode from the best let's players on TH-cam 🍻
Im patiently waiting for the day Rory realizes he can dual wield katanas
He'd definitely go for a let me solo her cosplay
hoarfrost was massively nerfed, it did so much damage on launch. And that ant face was a jumpscare.
Rory is definitely confusing Gonzo from the muppets who is an Alien with Tigger who is an anthropomorphic toy tiger.
I dont think ive ever heard anyone say they enjoy hearing other people take a dump lol 😂😂😂...Gav, don't ever change!
Kids are in bed. Takeaway will be arriving shortly. Saturday night sorted. Cheers lads x
Perfect ❤
Bleed + cold damage is so satisfying
I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.
I have 250+ hours in this game and have been a heavy faith user and only now from this episode realized I can use incants while on Torrent!! I always have the seal in my left hand (mainly to buff weapons) so I always assumed it was unavailable.
I could have been lighting up dragons etc. while on horseback this whole time had I only just had the seal in the other hand 😮
Oh my god you boys will absolutely love the dlc I can assure you
It feels like I get to reexperience the base game all over again
45:30 one of the funniest Powers deaths. Missed a point blank bolt that definitely would've killed the enemy to then immediately get slapped to death.
I want them to notice that whatever you have equipped when you summon the mimic is what it uses. This would definitely help them.
Cillian Murphy to star in Nolan's new film: Ten-Ant.
He'll be playing the Ant-agonist
I want a counter for all the times Powers needs one more swipe to finish off a boss and then panics, changes tactics, and dies lol
This is going to sound like a dig, but genuinely, is Rory getting worse at Souls games? 😅
I do believe so, somehow 😂
It’s his build he hasn’t taken it seriously from the beginning & lost a lot of souls on the way crucible knight should not be one shotting him .
@@coconutninja351I reckon he’s lost 15 levels worth of runes through pure laziness.
Good on Rory for beating anything down there, I didn't find this area until I was at least double his level.
Still as good as it’s ever been! Can’t wait for when they tackle the DLC!
Those Rune Bear fights were just hilarious XD
I was just playing the DLC and found the catacombs where Mike Zaki buried the piss-take. The Catacombs of Taking the Piss.
I can't wait to hear Rory's thoughts on the place. Though, I can imagine the sentence, "this is a piss-take," will be included.
1:28:11 The ancient Greek name for Ireland was Louernía very like Liurnia. It's written on Ptolemy's map of Ireland
This episode taught me that Tigger is an alien from outer space
*Deals 95% of the Bear's hp in damage with the sword*
Rory's thought process: "Perfect, now I'll switch to throwing fully charged up lightning spears while in melee range to finish him off" 😂
It's so funny watching Rory play these games. Literally if he had 10% more patience he'd halve the amount of time it takes him to do stuff.
Dan: "Use the horse, get away from the bear."
Rory: "Sure thing!" *moves 5ft away and is surprised when he gets hit again*.
The newly recently acquired tab in the inventory is gonna change your life!
10:46 Glad to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't like mushrooms, and still can't stand them. It's a whole texture and flavor thing for me.
I kept looking at Rory's neck for signs of any strangling after his performance this episode! He was playing like a madman
I used to rent a room from a very flamboyant bear 😂❤
the new recent items tab is gonna be a gamechanger for them in finding the goodies
You’ve always been able to sort by order acquired.
Addressing Gavs comment about Radhan - I believe there was an issue with his hitboxes that was patched after release. However, this patch (somehow) unintentionally nerfed his damage, so a later patch specifically reversed the nerf. Basically a long way of saying that as of today I believe Radhan now hits just as hard as he did on day 1!
That intro rant 😂 Wokies
Rory ignoring his runes when they're RIGHT THERE is so bizarre 😂
What's the time stamp for the Cillian Murphy side-by-side? I need that clipped out!
