This run just feels so nice compared to what Cast or Pass: Blood Incantations Vs. Aberrant (Thorn) Sorceries will probably be. I wish you luck for whenever you decide to tackle those.
@@legendarywolfgeneral5572 Yeah, but he has to beat Sewer Mohg with Swarm of Flies to get Bloodflame Talons, and Sewer Mohg is immune to status effects so he'll probably need the help of the Dung Eater to defeat Sewer Mohg.
Loving the slow evolution of Tulok's Malenia commentary as he does more and more runs and gets better and better at the fight. We've gone from "waterfowl dance is literally unavoidable damage" all the way to "you *can* dodge but the windows are extremely tight". True growth!
I fell asleep watching one of the longer Tulock videos and had the most vivid dream that he was my roommate and I asked him what D&D was and he beat the shit out of me for some reason, like really went to town on me, stepped on my hands and everything. Needless to say, I triple checked that I am subscribed and will never ask anyone what D&D is.
Fun fact about Dynast's Finesse: The dodge and the thrust are directionally independent, meaning the thrust *does not* have to be directed in the opposite direction of the dodge. Actually leveraging this in practice has a bit of a learning curve to it, but it means you can dodge to the side (or even forward) and still attack directly with it. This can have very funny effects when dodging *towards* an enemy that's chasing you down and thus not at all prepared for you to be in their face shoving a giant needle into it.
2:30 I am a professional knife maker, and was literally shaping a knife handle as I idly watched this. (Not dishwasher safe!). I thought to myself, “You know what? I fucking appreciate this man.” The joke upgrades (lore, etc) have not gone unnoticed among the crew. So, there’s a compliment for ya. Keep it up! GOTTA SET THE TONE, BOYS.
Fun fact, Dynast’s Finesse is actually so good that you could use it in place of a regular roll. There was a challenge run done by WornOutGamer4 where he could only use finesse to dodge
I’ve actually had a drill needle go through my eye (actually it was a spade bit, a drill bit with 3 sharp ends.) and seeing as I can only see due to it getting caught on the side of my eyes, and despite that I have like one fortieth of the vision in my right eye. The giant wouldn’t be happy
Phil, this vid in particular was fire in comparison to the past few! Aside from that, I'd love to see a barbrarian, in fort Haight. I think it would be a great way to bring the whole joke full circle
The energy this video has compared to the last few (even before the cast or past) is so refreshing. Feels like you got the spark to create again. Could just be me tho. Also this isn’t a secret starting class 😤😤😤
Should have saved the Garth Merenghi quote for the Morgott fight! "Something was pouring from his mouth. He examined his sleeve. Blood? Blood! Crimson, copper smelling blood, his blood. Blood, blood, blood... And bits of sick."
Is nice to have a pause in the suffering and good to see this was Helice focused. Not that Reduvia run 2 wouldn't have been fun to see if you found any new tricks for it. Not sure if it still works now, but the Helice reminded me of the Antspur build I saw where someone made it do bleed, rot, poison and somehow got frostbite in there. Know it is not really viable for a starting class cause is just one person using it, but is not casting spells at least XD.
As a Rykard enjoyer, what I enjoy is purely the spectacle of bonking him on the head with the Serpent-Hunter’s insane style points, plus the overall visuals and aesthetics of the fight + the arena. If I fought him for real as many times as you have I definitely would not be a Rykard enjoyer anymore though 😂
I've just finished watching a few videos on 'the convergence' mod for elden ring and OMG i would love to see you do some of your builds in that mod because there is like 40 starting classes that seem SO COOL i really think you would enjoy it and i would love to see you play it!!
@@snottytoe6957 dammit, i really feel like he'd love all those crazy starting classes to create even more varied character runs -_- guess he has to move to PC now ;D lol
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 You should do a secret starting class 'Guts' since you can literally get his sword in like 2 minutes lol and the nights calvary armor looks close enough
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Very much so. I like the humorous style you do for the lore description when everyone else reading the lore reads it like a Yale historian. Always provides a very good laugh when you do it Edit: Also, this channel and this channel alone got my fiancé interested in trying Elden Ring because she found your videos informative and hilarious. So as a Soulsborne fan I thank you
Every single time I hear you say spells are bad, I think of the Convergence mod; where you can drop a nuke that destroys every enemy in an entire area and deal 10k damage to bosses. Or summon for free. Or cast permanent buffs that boost weapon builds. Or break a bosses' stance over and over with spell spam so they can't do anything. I love the Convergence mod. Please give it a try if you get a chance; I'd love to watch you enjoy spells.
So, I have been playing the Souls Series for 15 years now, and I just figured out yesterday that thrusting/heavy thrusting swords have a feint mechanic. You just press the dodge button while charging a heavy attack and your character will do a swipe with a back step. If you ever use the helice again it might be helpful to chain the feint with the weapon art.
Phil as much as I love Elden ring, I watch your videos for you and your jokes, I’d love to see you branch out to other games, especially if you’re getting tired of Elden ring
Hey Tulok I love watching your secret starting class videos I die laughing everytime , I have a suggestions for a video. A Gelmir Knight, the armor set can be acquired without killing any bosses and then all you have to do is farm weapons from knights to get the knight's greatsword or partisan and a shield if you want and use stormcaller aow. I did a run like this inspired by your videos and I had a blast would love to see you do a run with it. Keep up the awesome vids bro
Watching Fortnite gameplay feels like somebody puking melted Funko Pops into my eyes, but I’d gladly encourage you to take your channel in whatever direction you’d want. Hell, I’d watch the videos anyway.
I think the Rykard Hellphase is purposefully painful because they dont want you doing that fight without the snake poker. Youre gonna do their gimmick, and youre gonna like it.
I’ve been following these Elden ring playthroughs for a while, and I’d love to see Phils reaction to the gameplay in Armored Core 6. Id also be lying if I said I didn’t want to see him exoerience the glory that is the Ashmead Pile Bunker.
So I recently stumbled on your videos and I gotta say, you've grown on me with your humor. Amazing job on these "secret starting classes" but I do wonder how the average/below average gamer would do trying to follow your builds since you're like really good at this game haha
Okay tulok, I hope you're ready. "Ng+, Gideon Ofnir" but other than his hammer, is you want to use spells, you have to beat the rememberence boss. Like his mechanics in game
You should try a lightning build. Dragon Cult incantations, weapons with lightning affinity which scale off skill, Bolt of Gransax, Lansseax's Glaive, fighting enemies in the water and/or when it's raining for free attack boost. I've been having loads of fun with mine.
It's funny, I actually kind of agree with you that weapons are better than spells/incantations in a lot of cases.... Unless it's Night Comet, most spells are basically dodged by every enemy that can dodge. I did a "pure spell caster" run as my first one and.... Yeah for some fights. I cheaped out and used Moonvale. (Which later I traded out for Wing of Astel.) And my runs afterward used mostly melee weapons. With some incantations here and there. And... yeah, my two best characters are a Banished Knight's Greatsword user with Braggart's Roar. And a twin Bandit's Curved Sword user who uses a few incantations. Mostly buffs, occasionally the Crucible Tail and Plasudisax's Roar for Godfrey's phase transistions (and similar things.)
I love your commentary about spells vs. weapons, it mirrors my own experiences perfectly. Melee-only runs are so much easier because they're so much more simple. Attack and dodge, that's it. Juggling spells and distance and two different flasks, as well as splitting your stats and needing like 3 mandatory talismans is just too much. I love spells but for me relying on them in a build is like hard mode.
Hey, speaking of Rykard and his shit spectacle fight; you’ve never done a Bernard run! Pretty sure you can get his gear by killing him at the beginning of the game, yeah? Though the Foreskin Twins would be an absolute nightmare without him.
In my first several run throughs, I dismissed the Reduvia. Mistake. Just did a run-through with it and carried me through most of the game. The only thing I added was something for range. Gonna have to play with helice. My only concern with it is lack of aoe for mobs. Pack of dogs, etc
I was JUST thinking, "A Penguin Noble build would be sick!", while knee deep in a Tulok binge, and it came the next day! Praise be!🎉🎉🎉 ALSO, Rykard Enjoyer here. I like his presentation, the fight is whatever.
This run just feels so nice compared to what Cast or Pass: Blood Incantations Vs. Aberrant (Thorn) Sorceries will probably be. I wish you luck for whenever you decide to tackle those.
To be fair, the blood incants are pretty good, some of them anyway, bloodflame claws would certainly be a cast at least
@@legendarywolfgeneral5572 Yeah, but he has to beat Sewer Mohg with Swarm of Flies to get Bloodflame Talons, and Sewer Mohg is immune to status effects so he'll probably need the help of the Dung Eater to defeat Sewer Mohg.
I might skip the video and just say pass for Thorn Sorceries
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 K. Though at least Briars of Punishment is not that bad. But, yeah, Briars of Sin is pretty trash.
@@StanleyG23 and plus there's like, two sorceries? That wouldn't make a very good video

GOTTA SET THE TONE, BOYS.
The penguin noble may be a flightless bird, but is he really? Lets see if he can make the SWAG JUMP.
Looooool
You could always try doing a Carian Swordsman build, as several of the Carian Sorceries act like weapons.
Good job on the video!
And the weapon art on the Carian Knight sword is crazy!
They have range and speed like weapons, but their damage is crazy and their poise damage doesn't exist.
@ACEYGAMES Carian Piercer would like a word
Let's encourage him to play other games for the channel, cause there's some great ones he can do runs like these in.
Yeah, like Balder's Gate III or Etrian Odyssey
I mean I personally really love the Elden ring videos
@@marykateharmonhe has said on stream that he wouldn't play BG3 since he plays DnD fairly often
Yeah, he should play kingdom hearts 2
Fortnite when???
Blood for the blood god skulls for the skull throne.
Blood is so good
A Sanguine Noble run is so fun. The Bloody Helice is such a fun weapon
BLUUUUD! My fav one of these so far. Love all the music too, bangers only in Tulok Town
Should be a bloody good time!
OH I JUST GOT THIS!!!!
The editing in this video is next level. The jokes are pitch perfect.
Cory kinda went sicko mode here, very happy with how it turned out
Baaaaaabe! Wake up! New secret starter class just dropped!
*Rushes to the nearest TV*

~10 mins in the reference to whats up in America with our current leader is EPIC, and so is the blood builds, love it Tulok
For the honor of Cainhurst. 🦇
Painhurts castle is my favorite Bloodborne level, DLC included

Fire giant pissed
I think the man is ready for some harder challenge runs he’s getting great love to see the gamer improvement
I mean, as long as we can just use weapons
16:51 I fucking appreciate the hell out of the My Chem reference!!!!
I love your humor, or I guess totally serious guides, so I would watch you play anything.
"and how would a sanguine noble clean up a mess?" mid-roll ad: CANNABIS!

My hand looks like that because of how hard i smash that mf'in like button

"If your hand looks like this... TAKE A DAY OFF" I fucking died.

No, this is the NEW blood. The kind that don't make you sick. The kind that won't make you crash your car, or feel three feet thick
1:34 holy shit is that Vaati
I love you, dude
I play a lot of ER but I never get far into a challenge run, but somehow you manage to do every run I think of so I don't have to!
If you wanted to play anything else id still watch, I look forward to your uploads every week
Hell yeah, I appreciate that
This build’s bloody great!
Absolutely, it's bloody disgusting how good it is
The energy this video has compared to the last few (even before the cast or past) is so refreshing. Feels like you got the spark to create again. Could just be me tho.
Also this isn’t a secret starting class
😤😤😤
Thank you for finally saying no souls game is political. They're as political as One Piece and Rage Against The Machine.
The moose tangent had me actually coughing because I was laughing too much and angered my body
Glad to see this series is back!
I'd love to see you try Lies of P since it's an actually good Souls-like. There are a lot of fun builds you could do.
Should have saved the Garth Merenghi quote for the Morgott fight!
"Something was pouring from his mouth. He examined his sleeve. Blood? Blood! Crimson, copper smelling blood, his blood. Blood, blood, blood... And bits of sick."
The sounding joke 💀 this is one of the funniest videos youve uploaded here lately, excellent stuff
14:37 this joke is actually really smart because the worst thing is a sound for more information look up r/sounding

Is nice to have a pause in the suffering and good to see this was Helice focused. Not that Reduvia run 2 wouldn't have been fun to see if you found any new tricks for it.

Tulok the day after Kissinger died. Don't mind if I do.
My sacrifice to the blood God worked
Drank blood every time he said blood: Am now vampire
Bloody Helice was my weapon of choice for most of the game. So glad to see it represented.
Thank you so much for the upload

Would love to see what your secret starting class is. Just using the build and equipment you personally love to use.
Probably something to do with bloodhound's fang
I love the musical interludes that are added at each part.
I was waiting for MCR
