Funny thing is he came this far without using the slinger at all, he doesn't even wall bang monsters. He's doing great but he still has a lot more potential.
@@D3NL1LL3P which is just stupid? on my first char i didn't use wallbang and tenderize just to take 30mins a monster and with wallbanging /tenderizing i just take about 10mins. now with full gear like 3 to 5 mins so yea u should start using it
@@nicotach5179 i never said I'm a smart hunter, imo I'm the opposite. I mostly use bowguns and alot of hunts are over pretty quickly so never felt the need and in group hunts im literally farthest from the monster so blademasters do it
You know the great thing about a lot of you tubers who play MH and they are coming back critiquing him is actually an amazing thing. I've been listening to these and yall give so many tips and just mechanics I never knew existed. Thank you I applaud what you're doing
I still consider MHWorld as exceptional for this exact reason. There are players who played the game for 1.000 hrs, think they dried out the game and still don't know 80% of mechanics (be it core or advanced mechanics)
I have a variant of whatever build I use that removes RS mantle for eva mantle/health booster. I call it the Rajang Modification, cause RS + beam = cart. Been getting better about it, but still got a lot to learn
Eh, I can't deny it isn't until recently that I actually liked fighting Raging Brachydios. I hated how much aoe each attack had but going back to playing the game, I learned how to deal with it and finally like it.
@@Ema4700-l6obut they'll spend more than that on an elden ring boss or any souls game boss and meat ride and praise how "good" it was... clown ass statement there bud
alatreon was so hard for me it was my full on wall and i dropped MHW cause rise came out that same week i got to him. im replaying MHW and i am starting iceborn. i hope i can beat him
Either he drops the game because he hates to adapt to mechanics or he will let himself get carried via multiplayer. And even if he somehow beats Alatreon Solo, there is no way he will beat Fatalis which if i remember correctly even Josh needed to switch to another weapon
2:54 yea he got new players to play but there was masive sale after the new monster hunter game that lasted like a month . i dont think it was ever sold that cheap (dlc + basic game was like 10 euros or something like that)
so for context if anyone was wondering why he is going for 2nd stage True Charged Slash: he said on stream that he watched some speedrunners amongst other videos and he is most likely trying to replicate what they were doing, which is a wakeup hit into a knockdown flinch combo, which only works if you save the stronger hit after the sleep recovery animation
@@rosenrot234 pretty much. It worked once for him, so it works every time in his mind. He is randomly finishing the charge combo hoping for the monster to run into him as well, just because it has worked a few times. He is genuinely fine with missing 95% of the time, if the 5% that he hits feel good. I guess that's the Great Sword mindset haha.
Brach 3 time charge attack you just run to the left/right for the first two head pounds then the last one you can just run straight away from him and avoid it since he only throws his goo to the left or right depending where you are.
The most hilarious thing about Asmond's MHW gameplay is the chat malding telling him what to do. Even after Asmondgold repeatedly tells Chat that he doesn't want to be told unless he asks, he wants to learn by himself, even if it's not effective or wrong. I get it; a win is way more satisfying when you get it via your own discovery and will. And also, being micromanaged by a veteran can be super annoying.
One thing i noticed tham made the fight 90% easier was tenderizing his legs, its way easier to dodge when focusing attacks on the legs than on his head and arms, and when the opportunity comes focus on the head and arms
TLDR: My husband love/hates Raging Brachy because he learned the fight on a tv that only had Blue and White, no other colors, on insect glave, and beat it before we had to go home from a wedding. My Husband and I were at a wedding for a long weekend and we brought the PS4 with us just so we could unwind a bit at the hotel. Glad we did as there was nothing we could walk to or anything to do near by. So we fired up MHW and he got back into the story and hit the big beautiful angry boy. As the fight went on though the colors started to fade out until the entire tv was just Blues and whites. This color issue persisted on anything we did on the PS4. So, with a broken hot tub, the breakfast bar in walking distance, and not knowing anyone but the groom we proceeded to fight him until the night before we had to go when he hit the dirt for the last time. He's been much easier to fight since.
I was raging a lot on this fight but after stubbornly trowing myself at him i realised its just a "get good" type of fight and as you learn his paterns and how exactly to dodge most attacks it gets a lot easier. It now reminds me of primordial malzeno in rise which is one of my favourite fights ever
So, after years of playing the wiki, telling people how to play fights (mainly my Dad and friends) I'm finally playing it myself, and damn... having a well written wiki on hand in the form of my MANY notebooks is great. Still get hit with unexpected stuff, but that's just more to add to the books. More to learn.
Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't Brachy have the bird wyvern skeleton? All his animations/movements look like Kulu and Tzitzi. Or did you mean something else when you said, "I love brute wyvern as a shape of monster, in general."
Somewhat not fully true, he mentioned that he hated the first phase, but the second phase when he traps you in an arena, he liked a lot more and found it more enjoyable and easier. I think that’s true given I’m a hammer main and an arena with a slope is great and as long as you remember the floor is lava, you can cope a bit more.
0:04 And I don't blame him for that statement I tried to group hunt raging brachydios but got triple wiped, which resulted in a fail, and we didn't move to the next phase
@ RAGE, I want to say I really really enjoyed your commentary I'm only half through the video where u are talking about how an animal would actually get more dangerous the less healthy it is like a last ditch effort to save itself. I played sooo long ago had absolutely top notch gear and decos. Like 3 to 4yrs ago. I lost my save totally and anyway it's kinda a blessing bc I had tons of knowledge. But I had gotten to Alatreon and hit absolute wall. Also btw I was solo the entire time never played with other hunters. Anyways I had to restart on ps5 ❤😊 and it's sooo good and I just restarted last week and seeing this just warmed my hunting heart and soul, idk what I'm even saying anymore just rambling but I love mhw so much is the point and the low life concept I was referencing gave me goosebumps and I felt like I wanted to share that with u. Love ur channel and subbed 4yrs. Last thing u know how shadow erdtree is comn nxt week and let me say I'm. Absolute die hard elden fan from soft fan and me just getting to iceborne with all that good gear to get and build I kinda wanna say I'll feel bad for abandoning it to go play shadow. I'm so torn and that's sayn something bc I think elden best gane ever created with mhw 2nd. Love u man.
I gotta agree with asmon on raging brachy. The first 2 phases are the worst part of the fight. If it was a spectacle from start to finish with the 3rd phase still being the big finale fight it’d be much more enjoyable.
Brachy looks cool but I hate it too. It feels like a dodge game. I want too attack at some point. You really need traps and stuff to create openings for attack but that isn't for me.
@@nickdiz9512he's not an elder, so yeah, traps work, still depending on your weapon you might not even need one, I generally beat him fairly easily with CB, or great sword or longsword, only struggle with weapons with no defensive options
@@nickdiz9512I mean, yeah. You can trap/cap Brachy, but ONLY the normal version. The raging one you can only trap, technically, the final area Raging Brachy goes to doesn't allow to cap. So its full commitment to kill
personally, i dont really like the raging brack fight. Its final bit is really cool, but it grows tiresome really fast. And it's just a bigger than normal bracks. With a slightly more dangerous gimmick of normal brack. It should not be considered the best monster when its just a scripted variant of a monster that was quite unique.
When I was watching I had a gut feeling telling me he would fail the first hunt against brachy then get on the following attempt. And I can't wait to see him try to solo Safi for real
I came back to world after watching asmon play. I was HR 150 ish but had never played iceborne. So i jumped straight into MR with no warm up after 5 years away. Im hitting a wall around the elder dragon research stage. I timed out twice without karting on Velkhana. I timed out once on blackveil vaal with sns. Just barely did it in time with charge blade
Blast blight and explosions in general is the worst effect in the game, because you're not thrown on the ground, you're thrown in the air then on the ground, and you will have the full effect even if you're 1 pixel in the hitbox
Definitely paralyzing and thunder is worse, It's relatively manageable to get rid of blast once you know what it is while getting stunned or paralyzed takes away control which is much more annoying I think
@@Solstice261 Everyone saying Blast is bad I feel are just players who don't know how to disengage. Just drop and roll 2-3 times and you are done. It doesn't do damage overtime on you either so it's no big loss. Unlike Ice/Stun/Paralyze, which directly nerf your movement ability (With ice needing a nulberry), and are much harder to get rid off.
There are a few obvious things in the Brachy fight like tenderizing and wall bangs but i have to say that to much dodging can be bad to, if you learn how to "walk" to safety you have more time to hit the monster and you can time the important dodges. Even Supermandive can be very dangerous if used at the wrong time because of the animation lock.
This was one of the best MHW:I Videos that analyze mistakes and monster movements, that I've watched in the past 4 years!! I say more to this! Edit: I have over 800 hours into the game and its the first time I've known that there are I-frames on ledge animations....
lmfao. the comment about saying "I hate this fight" is so insanely accurate. Yeah, it's not every fight, but I find myself saying similar stuff every now and then, yet I keep going back to it.
Yup! Played sunbreak a year or so ago but never touched Iceborne (Quit before expansion; I was obsessed back then) And now that Asmon started playing it and they had a big discount I went in to experience Iceborne for the first time. 100+ hours added already and hit the biggest wall ever -Fatalis.
As a gamer in general i love the fact that they're including the enmity mechanic as it makes a lot of sense and it's pretty cool. But as a solo hunter i feel totally not equiped to deal with it so it's mostly frustrating to face it, it might need some tweaking for people who are playing solo if they decide to bring it back in future games.
Raging became more fun for me when I stuck close to him instead of keeping distance and getting hit by his crazy lunge attacks. That and not having to deal with his active alone by just shooting it off with slinger ammo at a safe distance. After that, and full blast resist of course, the fight became fun for me
I remember the first time I beat this monster, and solo no less. It was such a struggle, but in all of the hunts I’ve done from gen 3, that was the best feeling victory ever. Best fight
Neegigante was my one true wall the only monster I could not solo(don't like hunting with others, have allways solo hunted) until much later. It felt like ass calling for back up to beat him, but afterward I went back and farmed his ass for full nerg armor and weapon solo, not for wearing, but out of spite.
I've been watching his VoDs and so far, its a fcking entertainment for me its so fun watching a different side of a hunter that only brute forces the game and be stubborn on learning the mechanics, and I started doing this kind of gameplay too lmao, like I reduced using Wallbangs to just intro so i can have time to charge my CB or hit my Wyrmstake to what part i wanted for GL. and i seldom tenderize, I find it relaxing not thinking and just bruteforce it
I think he has the nightshade lumu gs with augmented I forgot the name of it but it’s the one we’re it adds parts to the weapon to change a specific stat so that’s why he got so many sleeps but yeah he dose so well in thies fights
I haven't fought Safi, Alatreon and Fatalis, but Raging Brachy has been the only monster where I've had multiple quest failed back to back. Not even Furious Rajang, who i think is more famous in terms of difficulty, has done that.
Man, I solo'd tempered Brachy using a long sword and missed near enough all its attacks. Never carted once. Not even using mantles. I used the clutch claw mechanics and combo'd them with my normal attacks. He's gotter learn that when he goes up against some of tougher monsters.
I got it first try and moved on. Now I need to farm some armors and I just can't beat it again. I've been grinding for hours without success.That fight is crazy. It's so wild to think I've got it the first try. It was just mad luck.
I picked up the game again and swapped weapons to GS to see what it's like. Already at Iceborne and loving it. I will still main Bow and S&S for Multiplayer tho. Love watching Asmon playing the game.
Just bought this game with dlc and ive never played any of them , i have no idea whatbim doing or level ups but im having a wonderful time , i havent felt this way about a game besides elden ring.
18:21 it was not slime from the arm. It was from that three hit combo with delay and insane tracking that I HATE SO MUCH OMG WHY DOES HE TRACK YOU ON A FULL 360 DEGREE WHYYYY. If you couldn't tell I've been hit by that more times I can count
So at 36:30 i think it is, asmon clutched onto the tail as safi was turned around. It about faced and went for a centered beam attack, while asmon was still clutched. I think the game glitched and thats how asmon took damage there, as the beam was shown coming through safi. 😂😂 Love/hate mhw. 😂😂
i had a lot of trouble with primordial malzeno, even trying to go online i just kept getting teams that wipe really fast, took me 4 days but i did it with 0 good gear or knowledge i just used sns wirebug counter and pray like asmon
I never finished Iceborne, and this return has me finishing it now. I never fought Brachy, and all the hyped had me terrified. It was honestly pretty easy imo. Idk if it just fits my play style or if it's the dual blades, but it was one of the easiest to come from iceborne. Now, Screeching Legiuana on the other hand is a trash fight unless you're ranged and is one of my few real complaints.
something I noticed that would help him immensely, especially during rocksteady mantle is getting the health augment on his GS, on true charges it might as well heal you to full negating a lot of damage taken during it. It also just helps with not taking a toll on your supplies.
I think Asmons playthrough really shows how easy the MH series and other PvE titles are, he refuses to read and is generally terrible at games but barely struggled.
I have a full defense set with over 1k defense, 25 fire resist, full blast resist, full guard and guard up with a defense augemented shara greatsword. I use this set and take my time to learn the monsters moveset in the first fight I ever have with them as I often joke thatnits not possible to die in this armour but the fights will always be 40 mins long due to how I intentionally delay and observe. Holy fuck this fight doesn't feel good at all. I understand the mechanics and find them cool ideas, and I really enjoy how his moveset has changed up to make it even more important to know when to weave in and out, but I'm getting combo'd from 150% health to 0 whether I stay on the ground or not, once he goes enraged. He killed me 3 times and I felt his damage was way overturned for a non-tempered monster. I switched up to my crit draw velkana/barrioth set and beat him in 20 minutes. I can play the entire fight perfectly and then if I ever get hit I just die... I've started helping others on this quest with speed eating and friendship (super helpful with quick sheath) and I'm seeing people getting one-shot by non-enraged moves. I think he is just way over tuned in terms of damage and I would have liked the fight a lot better if he couldn't 2 shot a 150%hp 1kdefense 25 fire resist, full blast resist build and instead had enough hp that going full defense wouldn't be able to kill him. It feels like you just need to kill him as fast as possible and repeat knockdown so that you interact with his mechanics as little as possible. Because the longer you fight the more opportunities for mistakes and making a mistake will just kill you 50% of the time
Even when he asks a simple yes or no question. People were saying "Yes" "No" "Not anymore". It's like...why are there so many different answers for something so simple as whether or not you can trap Raging Brachy.

You know the great thing about a lot of you tubers who play MH and they are coming back critiquing him is actually an amazing thing. I've been listening to these and yall give so many tips and just mechanics I never knew existed. Thank you I applaud what you're doing
I still consider MHWorld as exceptional for this exact reason. There are players who played the game for 1.000 hrs, think they dried out the game and still don't know 80% of mechanics (be it core or advanced mechanics)
That feature of the Rocksteady Mantle is why I never bothered using it.
I just call it the Cart Mantle.
I call it the guaranteed wall slam mantle 😂 it's only use in master rank
It's a double edged sword. It can be useful, but it can lead to a death if you're using it improperly.
For me it's usefulness is worth way more than the times I was carted thx to it
Rocksteady is only really dangerous if you forget to dodge from time to time while in it.
I have a variant of whatever build I use that removes RS mantle for eva mantle/health booster. I call it the Rajang Modification, cause RS + beam = cart.
Been getting better about it, but still got a lot to learn
Eh, I can't deny it isn't until recently that I actually liked fighting Raging Brachydios. I hated how much aoe each attack had but going back to playing the game, I learned how to deal with it and finally like it.

double cart , and pray he miraculously kill altreon before 3rd estacon purely raw dmg. its possible
Raging Brachy’s roar sometimes sounds like Squidward screaming, and I can’t unhear it now.
It kinda reminds me of mario screaming MAMA
The biggest thing that helped me against raging brachy… is to learn when to stay down and let him finish his combo
2:54 yea he got new players to play but there was masive sale after the new monster hunter game that lasted like a month . i dont think it was ever sold that cheap (dlc + basic game was like 10 euros or something like that)
I was watching Asmon live during the raging brach fight and I was like ah shit the next RGV video is gonna be hilarious
i really love these analysis videos. as a new player it helps see what another new player is doing broken down
love this sports commentator! The instant replays and frame-by-frame are excellent. needs arrows and circles drawn by hand tho.

There is a point after a few seconds that your hunter will automatically stand up.

There are a few obvious things in the Brachy fight like tenderizing and wall bangs but i have to say that to much dodging can be bad to, if you learn how to "walk" to safety you have more time to hit the monster and you can time the important dodges. Even Supermandive can be very dangerous if used at the wrong time because of the animation lock.
He really tried solo safi i mean ive seen youtubers doing it but i did it once and decided to do it with people even if it was nerfed it was annoying
Yeah I wasn’t too wild on this boss either. Glad I’m not alone.
This was one of the best MHW:I Videos that analyze mistakes and monster movements, that I've watched in the past 4 years!! I say more to this!
Edit: I have over 800 hours into the game and its the first time I've known that there are I-frames on ledge animations....
I just checked the hunting board, apparently Josh put up a quest to kill Asmongold because he hated Raging Brachdaddy.
Safi Jiiva, solo, multiple hunts to do?
I laugh in your general direction. 😜
lmfao. the comment about saying "I hate this fight" is so insanely accurate.
Yeah, it's not every fight, but I find myself saying similar stuff every now and then, yet I keep going back to it.
Yup! Played sunbreak a year or so ago but never touched Iceborne (Quit before expansion; I was obsessed back then)
And now that Asmon started playing it and they had a big discount I went in to experience Iceborne for the first time. 100+ hours added already and hit the biggest wall ever -Fatalis.
As a gamer in general i love the fact that they're including the enmity mechanic as it makes a lot of sense and it's pretty cool.
But as a solo hunter i feel totally not equiped to deal with it so it's mostly frustrating to face it, it might need some tweaking for people who are playing solo if they decide to bring it back in future games.
Raging became more fun for me when I stuck close to him instead of keeping distance and getting hit by his crazy lunge attacks. That and not having to deal with his active alone by just shooting it off with slinger ammo at a safe distance.
After that, and full blast resist of course, the fight became fun for me
I remember the first time I beat this monster, and solo no less. It was such a struggle, but in all of the hunts I’ve done from gen 3, that was the best feeling victory ever. Best fight
I think first introduction fight with Nergigante is best fight of MHW. /sweaty palms fight
Neegigante was my one true wall the only monster I could not solo(don't like hunting with others, have allways solo hunted) until much later. It felt like ass calling for back up to beat him, but afterward I went back and farmed his ass for full nerg armor and weapon solo, not for wearing, but out of spite.
Asmon is definitely my #1 top gamer ever. He's so good
I've been watching his VoDs and so far, its a fcking entertainment for me its so fun watching a different side of a hunter that only brute forces the game and be stubborn on learning the mechanics, and I started doing this kind of gameplay too lmao, like I reduced using Wallbangs to just intro so i can have time to charge my CB or hit my Wyrmstake to what part i wanted for GL. and i seldom tenderize, I find it relaxing not thinking and just bruteforce it
And thus war was declared upon Asmongold
I think he has the nightshade lumu gs with augmented I forgot the name of it but it’s the one we’re it adds parts to the weapon to change a specific stat so that’s why he got so many sleeps but yeah he dose so well in thies fights
The last attack of Brachys triple headbutt has tracking her swings his head toward you.
I love his description of the game:
“I go between hating the game to loving the game in the span of 10 seconds twice.”
THERE’S IFRAMES WHEN YOU’RE LEDGE CLIMBING?!
now im glad Fatalis doesnt have the same "slime on the ground exploding" thing
Is it a bad thing that I’ve memorized raging brachy’s moveset?
I have over 1600 hours in this game and I'm learning tons of new mechanics watching you review this.
I haven't fought Safi, Alatreon and Fatalis, but Raging Brachy has been the only monster where I've had multiple quest failed back to back. Not even Furious Rajang, who i think is more famous in terms of difficulty, has done that.
When is your his ALATREON analysis video XD ~ that's Treasure to behold.
6:00 That's how you fight it? I just break his legs till he dies.
His legs aren't breakable
@@athos9293 not literally, just keep wailing on his legs.
@@athos9293he means making him trip, if you hit his legs enough he falls over,
GS Rocksteady and a ledge my fav combination vs raging brach
I am a disgusting inferior LS main so my strategy is countering until he is dead, Brachy is fun because he telegraphs so much
Man, I solo'd tempered Brachy using a long sword and missed near enough all its attacks. Never carted once. Not even using mantles. I used the clutch claw mechanics and combo'd them with my normal attacks. He's gotter learn that when he goes up against some of tougher monsters.
I love these videos keep em coming
Funny thing I randomly got the surge to slay some monsters about a week ago now I’m addictive
Solo safi siege is pain and I wish Asmon luck if he chooses to do that. Took me several hours with fatty gear
I have 1.5k hours in mhw and even I didn’t know u get i frames with ledging
I got it first try and moved on.
Now I need to farm some armors and I just can't beat it again. I've been grinding for hours without success.That fight is crazy. It's so wild to think I've got it the first try. It was just mad luck.
Plunderblade / Elder melder are your best friends. This monster is such a pain to fight i'd just rather cheese it
the last episode i watched of you guys before now was a year ago
I want him to learn he can make his character drunk with the drink emote at the canteens 😂❤
learned new things on this, this was an enjoyable watch!
I never really liked raging brachy. To me it just felt like a slightly stronger version of the regular
watching this made me realize that we NEED a hard raptor monster
I can't wait to see his reaction to Fatalis
I picked up the game again and swapped weapons to GS to see what it's like. Already at Iceborne and loving it. I will still main Bow and S&S for Multiplayer tho. Love watching Asmon playing the game.
Bros play by play commentary is great lol
I wanna play MHW again but my friends dont wanna replay it
What you play on bro, I'd join!
Do a solo run or find other hunters, a lot of people are replaying the game and would be more than willing
Just bought this game with dlc and ive never played any of them , i have no idea whatbim doing or level ups but im having a wonderful time , i havent felt this way about a game besides elden ring.
Back again , I'm now an expert at greatsword and the hammer has my heart .
18:21 it was not slime from the arm. It was from that three hit combo with delay and insane tracking that I HATE SO MUCH OMG WHY DOES HE TRACK YOU ON A FULL 360 DEGREE WHYYYY.
If you couldn't tell I've been hit by that more times I can count
30:33 He was so ready to trade
Raging brachydios is one of those monsters that is perfect for practicing counter attacks
So at 36:30 i think it is, asmon clutched onto the tail as safi was turned around. It about faced and went for a centered beam attack, while asmon was still clutched. I think the game glitched and thats how asmon took damage there, as the beam was shown coming through safi. 😂😂 Love/hate mhw. 😂😂
i had a lot of trouble with primordial malzeno, even trying to go online i just kept getting teams that wipe really fast, took me 4 days but i did it with 0 good gear or knowledge i just used sns wirebug counter and pray like asmon
Spec on blast resist 3 and he becomes a Deviljho.
Loved the content keep it up
I never finished Iceborne, and this return has me finishing it now. I never fought Brachy, and all the hyped had me terrified. It was honestly pretty easy imo. Idk if it just fits my play style or if it's the dual blades, but it was one of the easiest to come from iceborne.
Now, Screeching Legiuana on the other hand is a trash fight unless you're ranged and is one of my few real complaints.
something I noticed that would help him immensely, especially during rocksteady mantle is getting the health augment on his GS, on true charges it might as well heal you to full negating a lot of damage taken during it. It also just helps with not taking a toll on your supplies.
I’ve nicknamed the final phase of Raging Brachy the “Cage Match”.
I think Asmons playthrough really shows how easy the MH series and other PvE titles are, he refuses to read and is generally terrible at games but barely struggled.
I have a full defense set with over 1k defense, 25 fire resist, full blast resist, full guard and guard up with a defense augemented shara greatsword. I use this set and take my time to learn the monsters moveset in the first fight I ever have with them as I often joke thatnits not possible to die in this armour but the fights will always be 40 mins long due to how I intentionally delay and observe.
Holy fuck this fight doesn't feel good at all. I understand the mechanics and find them cool ideas, and I really enjoy how his moveset has changed up to make it even more important to know when to weave in and out, but I'm getting combo'd from 150% health to 0 whether I stay on the ground or not, once he goes enraged. He killed me 3 times and I felt his damage was way overturned for a non-tempered monster.
I switched up to my crit draw velkana/barrioth set and beat him in 20 minutes. I can play the entire fight perfectly and then if I ever get hit I just die...
I've started helping others on this quest with speed eating and friendship (super helpful with quick sheath) and I'm seeing people getting one-shot by non-enraged moves.
I think he is just way over tuned in terms of damage and I would have liked the fight a lot better if he couldn't 2 shot a 150%hp 1kdefense 25 fire resist, full blast resist build and instead had enough hp that going full defense wouldn't be able to kill him.
It feels like you just need to kill him as fast as possible and repeat knockdown so that you interact with his mechanics as little as possible. Because the longer you fight the more opportunities for mistakes and making a mistake will just kill you 50% of the time
19:28 giggling like an idiot at that burp that snuck up on you Cotton
I hate it when chat gives him terrible or wrong information.
Firecell ore only comes from red ore frfr.... Mf he collected every one from a blue just shut up already.- me watching chat
@@zoddsonofthor5576 TBF I only very got it from the red ones in my 1500+ hours of playing lol.
Facts. The only thing worse than a backseater is a backseater who is wrong.
Even when he asks a simple yes or no question. People were saying "Yes" "No" "Not anymore". It's like...why are there so many different answers for something so simple as whether or not you can trap Raging Brachy.
