@@SilverTwinkle No. that heal only procs when low hp. if I hit 0, as in, if he does my total health in damage, which is 2134, I would die. He did less than 1900.
@@SilverTwinkle Lol. No. it doesn't. It isn't denial. If I get you to 800 hp and hit you with Godslayer's WA you instantly die. If I do it with giant hunt, you instantly die. Lion's claw.

wasnt there a talisman that increased defences? The last test I can see it survi-able with dragon scale, this one talisman I cant recall the name,heavier armor and indomitable
To be fair I think some of the other builds had high Vigor as well. But the Banished Knight Armor set has much better defense stats that what the others were wearing.
I got absolutely slammed by an invader with a giant hunt, upon him seeing me survive, he jumped off the nearest cliff, mans was simply inspecting my Vigor. Fair play

The Golden Order vigor test is a multi-staged test of how much damage one person can take. The test’s overseer will begin the physical part of the test once the participant stands on the glowing circle. If successful, the participant should have lived the ash of war used on them. If unsuccessful, the participant should not have survived. When you hear the bell noise *ding* that is when the test starts. Get ready: 3, 2, 1, start *ding*

@@laary7589 Nah. That only saves you if the dmg you take is less than your total hp. If I have 2000 hp and take 2000 dmg the heal doesnt go off. I just die. It does heal me though, because he did more than 80% of my hp
You did 2134 damage to one guy which means he had 60 vigor, erdtrees favor +2 and crimson amber +2 and he still died, so I guess the real moral of the story is wear better armor
@@Sharptsa you can tank that with black flames protection, golden vow, decently strong gear and the right talisman loudout, but otherwise yeah armor alone doesn’t cut it
IT WAS YOU! Chase had a stream and it was you this entire time!?! Bruh that was the highlight of the stream for me when I first saw it, happy to see that someone managed to survived it!
The guys hammer deals 6000 damage in one strong attack hit. Meaning your Vigor should be twice that number to survive that hit or die to the no next blow
I invaded a guy called vigor exam the other day, kneeled down for him to hit me and he just didn’t lol, bonked him with my staff and he started panic rolling and trying to kill me with fingerprint shield pokes
I’m happy that most of them were good sports about it If I invaded/got invaded by someone with the name Vigor Exam/Check, I’d just accept my fate for the bit

@@zaqataq5146 At meta pvp level, 125, 60 vigor is a must and every good players have this much vigor (maybe 50 vigor on some casters builds). It might sound "ridiculous" but it's the best softcap to reach or you will get one shot by most ash of war.
@@zaqataq5146 I mean, it's ironically becoming a lot more common for people to realize you really don't need to shovel all 125 points into sheer offense stats or things like Mind. Between all the stat boosting items and how busted Ashes of War can get, you can get actually pretty damn far without hitting major softcaps for offense stats.
@@zaqataq5146 not really that ridiculous plus why stop at 125? People talked about 150 as the level to PvP as it’s pretty hard not to be above 125 when you finish the game comfortably unless you specifically have built your character around PvP. 125 was the old meta level for Dark Souls when you only got to like level 85 playing through the game normally.
40something vigor + bullgoat, +runic shield + Dragon Creast shield, maybe somethings that give you more hp. Then you will survive because of the sheer amount of damage reduction and hp you have. So this is less of a vigor test and more like a vigor and dmg reduction check
oh, so its you, ive seen you from chase the bro invasions, he took your exam and failed, i was surprised since chase is always building his character properly. anyway, nice vid and exam man, hehe.
@@pintobean6702 40 is not a fucking softcap from 30 to 60 you get 50% more hp 60 is the softcap, 50 gives an acceptable hp pool, at 40 you will get oneshoted easily
I do feel like this is a bit unfair because even with 60 you can't pass this this should be a check to see if you have 60 vig or higher. I would also like to see iterations of this at lower levels.
