Smash that LIKE button peeps! Would really appreciate it if we start this new journey with a bang!
Thank you for watching and I'll see you all in Part 2
Yeah boy! I love the first two but the third one rules supreme :) Can't wait for you to get into it
49:59 lothric knights are legit
\o/
I would love to see longer episodes, oh and by the way… remember when you said we don’t want to forget about the left path by the sleeping dragon… Well you forgot about it, keep up the good work love it.
@@vierus8u299 yup and some nice items :) an old friend from Dark souls 1
Damn I forgot how hard that menu theme goes, the memories just hit me like bricks
Talks, stops,…
😮 YOOOOOOOOOO!
It’s one of the most played DS themes on Spotify! 😂
After so much he talked about the soundtrack on the DS2 (where basically only Sir Alonne has a DarkSouls level theme), I knew he would already cry in the menu haha
The Zaylien remix goes hard too.
I wish Elden Ring's menu theme was this long too, it is over too soon and this just keeps going.
Seeing him talk about the bonfire so much while walking directly past it multiple times is hilarious
My eye was twitching and it made me feel uncomfortable when he walked right past it.
"im not gonna go through this here door yet, ima look for a bonfire!"
🤨
I think it was the message on the ground that did it 🤣 since he had no estus
Mati kept on making it harder on himself for quite a while there for no good reason 😂
With any metroidvania and soulsborne, and any games really with a focus on exploration, I have always subscribed to the "stick your face into every room/hallway" just in case. Maybe you'll spot a much needed bonfire, or an unguarded treasure. And it serves to remind me better to come back and explore it later if I don't immediately.
Glad someone found it funny. I just found it annoying.
I'm more hyped for this series than I've been for entire TV Shows and movies lmao. Let's do this!
My dude just made my day, Thank you
Same I was so excited when I saw this on my notifications 📢 I couldn’t wait to get home 🏡 🧛♀️👼
Same but that's not a high bar... TV and movies only dissapoint me
Same this is one of my most anticipated series! I couldn't watch DS2 since I haven't played it so I've been waiting since the end of DS1 for this!!
@@soggywater123 heh that’s me foe every Sekiro playthrough 😅
I can appreciate the type of person that's also immediately enthralled by this OST. There's no shortage of absolute bangers, you're in for a good time.
Rick is that you? 🥹🙌
@@BigGaeFurryDad indeed it is lol
A minute in and I'm already cracking up. Pretty sure this is about to just be a "Mati Reacts to DS3 OSTs" Series and I'm here for it!
The boss music tier list gonna be tough for this one if it keeps going like this 😅
@@matiasgago oooh yes, you will have a hard time choosing a favorite ost, cuz they're even better this time around, lol
@@matiasgagoafter every boss: "That's getting added to the playlist... That's getting added to the playlist... THAT'S GETTING ADDED..."
We must appreciate Mati's efforts and his promise that now he will explore the map more, discover secrets, look for paths. Less than 60 minutes into the clip, he already runs for his life, skipping half of the items, forgets that the tower can go up, almost skipping the second bonfire, and that he found the key to the cell with the first NPC. I love this guy
That second bonfire was right above him and that stupid message meant for the enemy he already killed got him turned away. Mati, take the messages with a grain of salt! lol
When he missed the second Bonfire at the high wall…I’m almost tapping. Like, you saw the freaking stairs going up lol. He’s played how many souls game before this??

@@blakecarter7872 didnt even play sekiro, too much for me
@@pavle988it’s one of the only games I ever played where it made me doubt my skill. I just thought I flat out wasn’t good enough to beat it at one point. Once I relaxed and didn’t expect to beat every boss and just went in wanting to learn a bit more, I absolutely LOVED it. You’re missing out.
How does this affect Gwyn’s legacy?
I personally would LOVE seeing longer episodes, around 2hrs works nicely.
More fun for us, and you get to take your time without feeling the need to push to the end of an area to fit the entire thing into 1-2 episodes 😁
Less exhaustion from editing too, good idea 👍🏾
This here is a very important comment Mati, take your time and enjoy yourself. Don't rush yourself, the game, your editing, or even your scheduling.
True
Really glad that DS3 has finally started!
Here are certain things that you might want to consider for the playthrough (no spoilers)
1) After killing each boss read through the lore of every item associated with them (you will know how you get them soon enough, I hope)
2) Having the lore of previous games in mind (especially that of Dark Souls 1's ) makes the experience especially rewarding.
3) This game has many secret areas. You might want to keep an eye out for certain gestures this time around.
4) You don't need to summon any NPC whatsoever to progress any questline unlike Dark Souls 2
5) Once you reach the end, remember that rolling the credits doesn't take you directly to NG+ just like in DS 2.
So you have the choice to decide whether to do the DLC later or not (I would personally suggest doing it after rolling credits)
This is the way
Bro I am bengali too and I m also Banerjee. 😊 Btw thanx for your comment. Really informative. DS3 is my favourite souls game.
@@matiasgago yeah, I'd add to what he said that doing the final boss of the main game after the DLC may make the fight underwhealming, because the final boss of the final DLC is something special. So I totally agree, first finish the main game, final boss included, and then do the DLCs.
Great tips explore explore explore he missed a lot of items around firelink shrine. Take ur time in this game
For the first time in TH-cam history, someone said they were going to give spoiler-free good advice, and actually did. Well played, and good list!
That "OMG this is Alfred!" got me really good 😂
“The fire fades, and some men just want to watch the world burn” - André, probably.
@@Metalton95 all I'm saying is I wanted to see Batman in Firelink Shrine too
He is the only guy that can make 1 hour and 50 minutes of a game I already know entertaining
This game gets better the further you go. Can't wait for you to reach those heights, It'll bring back the bloodborne level of excitement
This
The hype is real!!
Just a small helpful tip: hidden walls in this game are like DS1, you have to hit them to find them. Good luck Mati!
You can also roll into them
And throw thing as them
And finger but hole
Your reaction to the menu music is precisely why I enjoy watching you so much :) Hope you have a blast with this one :)
I remember going to GameStop for this one for midnight release. Line was surprisingly huge. Crazy this came out 7 years ago.
The music in ds3 is second to none. You know you're in for a wild ride when the menu music makes you cry
Yep...can't beat the Tokyo Philharmonic!
Regarding the timeline. I think this is thousands of years at least after DS1. The worlds been through multiple linking of the fire.
But Andre is undead. he's immortal. And as long as he doesn't lose his purpose, he won't go hollow.
That doesn’t make entire sense as the curse fades when the fire is linked. The other theory is better given the other characters you run into and the things you see: time and space are wonky in ds3 and that’s a theme.
@@johnj4471 "That doesn’t make entire sense as the curse fades when the fire is linked."
The curse fades, and then comes back. It has happened over and over (DS2 was another cycle) and has obviously lead to the world being saturated of life.
Almost all the lore points to this direction, I don't see why you are saying it doesnt make sense.
@@johnj4471
The FIRE fades, the curse does not.
This is part of why ds3 lore just doesn’t work... timey wimey is why. A lot does not line up with already established lore. Idk why Bloodborne enemies exist in ds3, probably unused assets left over they wanted to use still. They just went for member-berries and it personally just feels hamfisted.
Dude in ds1 you can see his undead sign in hie chest
This is it. The final game of the trilogy. The franchise that gave birth to a whole new sub genre. I'm so excited for this journey!
Demons souls gave birth to the sub genre
@@mikeyb.0121It predates Dark Souls yes, but Dark Souls popularity is way, way higher than Demons Souls' one, and without Dark Souls, the Soulslike genre would never have existed, because Demons Souls... Meh
@@SonOfIzalith that wasn’t the comment tho was it… it’s an objective fact that Demons Souls was the birth of the soulslike genre😂 just because Dark Souls is way better and more popular doesn’t mean Demons Souls just gets erased from history lol
@@mikeyb.0121 Maybe try to understand what I'm saying
Yes the fact that Dark Souls is more popular actually matters in terms of birthing the Soulslike genre.
History doesn't remember who did anything first, it remembers who made it popular first.
@@SonOfIzalith do you know what birthing means?😂 demons souls started the genre… which means it birthed it…
12:26 you can see Oscar's (the first NPC you killed back in DS1) armor leaning against what seems to be a lord vessel.
Seems he's always got an estus handy for you, even if this time it tastes like blueberries.
Haha I pointed out the same thing too!
At long last, comes the best one of the bunch. That intro theme tells you immediately how high quality the rest of the game is. So hyped for this.
Certified slapper!!!
Love the videos keep the grind going bubba

It really feels like he forgot everything from ds2 when he started ds3. He literally said "It's so cool/beautiful" to every area he entered but I guess it's just bad now
Welcome to DS3! My first game ever in the franchise, and probably my favorite on many aspects.
Let's freaking go! 💯
For me it was Bloodbourne. After Bloodbourne Dark Souls 3. After this DS 1, Sekiro and DS2.😅
@@tobitroyer9429 interesting path! All great games ;)
@@zors5188 yes I know all over the place. 😅
It's funny how your first one is almost always your favorite, eh? I started with Bloodborne and six games later it's still #1 in my heart.
Elden Ring came really, really close, though, and I have zero doubt if I'd started there it'd be my favorite instead.
SO excited for 3! You're a blast to watch. Just a reminder that you need to attack or roll for secret walls in this one. It looked like you walked up to some like you thought they we're illusory, so just wanted to make sure you knew.
So hype then I see that 2 hour time stamp. Mati let’s goooooooooooo grats on this journey. You’re gonna LOVE ds3
Had to bless you guys and I also couldn't stop 😅 Appreciate you Seaweed!
Really hope this series does as well, or even better than Bloodborne. Your reactions are so genuine and the editing is fire as well. You definitely deserve at least 100k subs.
Yes for sure💪
Straight sword enjoyer so🎉
You know what? I've been trying to find professionals reacting to the DS3 menu music and after hours of disappointment I have found you. This is hands down the *BEST* reaction on the internet to this epic musical theme! ..so I stayed and been watching your videos since. Love from the UK. ❤
I wish you the best success Mati! This game is incredible.
Thank you my man! It's gonna be a ride
So up for this! It’s such a good game. Hyped you’re finally playing this one! One of my favourites after bloodborne
LETS GOOOOO FINALLY
Been here since episode 1 of ds1 and plan to stay after this playthrough
Love to hear that my man I appreciate you!
Welcome to the game that got me into PVP and taught me to parry; think its safe to say you will in enjoy DS3 a ton. Amazing how many comments you got already on this one, but a few non-spoiler things as someone with 1000s of hours in this one (incoming bunch of info):
- Since DS3 is the return of Miyazaki directing, it very much bridges the gap from Bloodborne back to Souls, as you can tell by the speed and feel of the game comparative to 1 & 2
- Shields can be very useful, but kinda like BB, generally they can become muuuch more of a liability here than it seems for a first playthrough. Try playing without one for a bit - it being a crutch and getting guard broken a lot later is very dangerous in this one, and they use up a lot of stamina
- Shields that can parry have different amounts of "active" parry frames. Meaning they all have a few animation frames of startup, some active frames where the parry can connect, and then some recovery frames. Generally speaking, Medium shields like the knight starter shield have the worst active parry window of the shields, making them harder to hit. Look for Small or specific shields if you want to give a try at practicing parries
- Everyone's first Lothric knight can be humbling. They make for great parry practice though!
- You can pick up a lot of the DNA here that went into Elden Ring in the game design. I've always felt its pretty clear through DS3 Miyazaki really wanted to make ER. For example, every weapon already has "Weapon Arts" which use FP and are basically Ashes of War that can't be changed out
- Your straight sword for example already has Stance - which is literally the same exact thing as Square Off in ER that could only go on, guess what: straight swords. Try 'em out, you'll find some familiar faces and some new ones
- Explore every nook and cranny if you can, there are easily missable things. But don't stress too much, I guarantee you are going to miss stuff first play no matter what, especially NPC questlines
- Iudex -> is pronounced more like "you-dex". It is Latin for 'judge'. Classical Latin doesn't have the letter j, so they appear as i
- The game has a neat system for multiplayer/PVP. But it is misunderstood in a lot of ways, including a very little known about built-in "newbie" protection.
- You can be invaded when solo in DS3 in many areas, but *only* when Embered
- Playing solo places you much lower in the priority (meaning the game sends invaders to people with the Dried Finger active first, then people co-oping, but if there are no Fingered/co-opers in the area at all and you are embered, then the game might send the invader to you)
- Side note on pvp: Dried Finger worlds can be nuts, you can have a total of 6 people in the world - the Host, and up to 3 co-op summons or blues, and 2 invaders. Absolute chaos.
- You'll eventually notice little icons next to bonfires in the Fast Travel, these will kinda indicate if there are players online in that area within your Level and Weapon Upgrade range who are participating in multiplayer
- The newbie protection should still be active for you - it shouldn't go away unless you either 1) use one of the multiplayer items, even if you don't actually summon or are summoned, 2) summon or invade someone else, NPCs count, or 3) when you hit a very certain part of the early game (you'll figure this out very quickly when if you are embered there)
- You can't be invaded or summon if the area boss is dead!
- But huge caveat: that INCLUDES NPC summons or invaders though, so similar to being Human in DS1, if you don't go through an area Embered once before killing the boss you WILL miss stuff (some of which can be tied to NPC questlines)
- There is a slot in your inventory for covenants - you can take them on and off at will, with no repercussions! Way of Blue will auto-summon people as blue continuously to help you with like a minute or two delay if you are invaded, and you can even put it on after you are invaded. No drawback really to having it on right now as its the only one you have so far
- Quality builds (aka levelling both STR and DEX in equal measures) can be very strong in DS3, and gives you a wide weapon weapon variety to chose from
- Magic/caster builds are much more specific, and unlike ER they can be VERY weak early on, need heavy stat allocation and certain tools, and most will take quite a while to get off the ground
- Honestly for a DS3 newcomer, I recommend some kind of physical based build first, or focus on only one physical stat and one other stat - but you do you!
- Broadsword has shorter range than the Longsword, but makes up for it with a bit more AR (attack rating). Moveset+range makes Longsword a bit better imho, the R2's are better with the thrusts
- Nearly every weapon, even the starter equipment, can easily carry you to the very end of the game and DLCs if used right, so go nuts testing stuff out
I am very excited to live vicariously to some of your reactions to both the music and... well, you'll see.
YES! Very excited. this will be my first time being able to watch episodes as they come out. I'll do my best to give spoiler free helpful tips.
Have fun!!!!
Appreciate that chief
The best kinda person! :)) Keep on keeping on!
32:28 Man that sent me
Just, seeing Andre down the corridor, freeze and gasp.
"Bro is that Alfred?!"
This is gonna be awesome! This is my favorite souls game without a doubt, I have easily more than 3000 hours in this game lol, in the beggining of the game is best to put all of your points in health, that's the easiest start, and use deep or simple weapons that you find which don't scale with anything, they just have high base damage at the beggining of the game, then you can decide which build you wanna go with, dark builds are the most fun because you can use almost everything, magic, miracles, dark magic, strength weapons, dexterity weapons etc, dark is basically levelling up both magic and faith at the same time, but you'll have to use gems to change the weapon properties so they can scale with those stats, dark builds are way more advanced tho, the easiest and most simple builds are always gonna be strenght or dexterity
Absolutely loved your reaction to the main menu theme. Such a beautiful ost.
Welcome back Ashen One.
I am so happy man. And a 2 hour video. You just made my day. Thank you so much.
I'm so excited to see you start this! I've been looking forward to this one the most I must admit.
Right off the bat, some things to check on in that first area before pressing forward.
1. You got the key for the NPC in the Cage, under the 2nd bonfire
2. You Missed a staircase right next to the first dead dragon by the 1st bonfire.
3. Its worth grabbing the last 2 items in front of the fire breathing dragon.
4. check around the left side of Firelink shrine, Outside the building.
5. In the room with the firebomb enemies, and dogs there is a chest in the rafters.
Thanks so much again for making these vids, I already know I'm gonna watch every one of these as soon as you post them.
Yes, gotta get the dude sprung from his cage!
1:24:16 roll through the barrels and drop down.
Super hyped for you to play this one! I think you’ll fall in love with the bosses from this game
Already incredible 🤣
Such excite
This take my slice of cake for the best "Part 1" of any Fromsoft game played by any youtuber... This was so nostalgic and exciting to watch having seen all of your other playthroughs. Priceless reactions!
The way you play these games is incredibly satisfying and fun to watch. You appreciate the little things about each area and you deserve so many more subs. I'm really excited for the rest of the series I'm gonna watch every episode!
This was my first souls game. I've yet to finish it, but the atmosphere has me coming back again and again. Love your playthroughs. Appreciate that you spend time to edit out the dead air. Have fun!
I've never had the chance to play dark souls III but still this is by far my favorite main menu theme, probably even sound track, of all from software games
Oh my god finally, my favourite Souls player playing my favourite Souls game!
Appreciate you being here brotha
I had the EXACT SAME reaction when the menu music start, god I love that game
About the random flask, you fill up a hidden gauge when you kill enemies and when it's full you get a flask.
Ha. 2 playthroughs and I didn't know that lol.
@@Dale-sj6ru Me neither! I always assumed it filled based on other players defeating the area boss like in DS1.
never knew that, just knew when it happened and it made me happy
broooo finally an entertaining youtuber that does full play through of soul games 🙏🏽🔥 you’ve got my sub bro
Nah man, first video i've watched of you and i already liked you first 5 minutes i've watched. The moment you started apreciating the menu theme i just plugged my headphones and started listening to it with you and man, you've reminded me the banger that theme is! Just sat there listening along and getting chills up my spine. Liked first 5 minutes into the video. Will binge watch this for sure!
im a year late but i started ds3 few weeks ago, i am a bit far in story than this but god does it feel good that every new player went through the struggles i did in this section, just not able to find path and whatnot. What a great channel i came across
Knowing what's coming up for you in DS3, and having been on this journey with you since Elden, I can honestly say I'm more hyped for you to play this than any other game so far. So stoked for you to experience this game and it's best-in-class bosses.
I listen to FromSoft OSTs daily on my way to work and while I work. They are so majestic and real, i dont know the fact that it's an actual orchestra and choir makes the songs sooo much more intense.
I'm so hyped everytime you get hyped about the music aha
sup
The Dark Souls 3 OST arguably has some of the best tracks in the trilogy, so nice to see Mati respond to it immediately 😊
I still haven't played the dark souls series but it's been so incredibly fun to see the games through your perspective! When I was very young my favorite thing in the world was to watch my older brother play Zelda (N64) and watching your videos gives that same "this is the best" feeling
You’re gonna love it bro. Been on the same journey as you since elden ring last year. Just got to DS3 2 weeks ago and it’s been a blast, a challenge, and definitely nostalgic feeling after playing the first DS’s
That's so sick!
@@ethanheadrick7027 thanks bro. Only thing I regret is not being apart of this community sooner lol. Saving Sekiro for last
@@dukers0578 best of luck! You got this! :D
That title music slaps harder than most boss OST's in the whole souls series. For sure, the hardest challenge is actually clicking any button in the title screen!
Hype episode! Happy to see you enjoying ds3.
A couple small things you missed that you might wanna check out: theres actually actually a small path to the left (you only went right) of Firelink shrine as well with something a little interesting, though you're quite strong by now; also, you missed a small staircase going up, left of the one you go down after the high wall of lothric bonfire by the dead dragon, it leads to the binoculars, thought you might wanna use them at the place where you raised the banner for a nice view :).
Dude I loved how you listened to the intro! Let's go!!!!!
Yes finally, very excited for this!
Been binging all of your vids for a while, super excited for this playthrough!
Almost 2 hours flew by! I vote for longer episodes! 😊
Yes plz!! Longer episodes are always wanted.
Finally its here. My favourite from DS-series. Im pretty sure your going to love this journey. And well done Sir
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITINF FOR YES 😭
i almost have this game 100% on steam minus like 2 i love it sm
@@snoozysux What a G!!
“I really want another bonfire”
Me: screaming at the screen that you missed it.
Been on this journey ever since you did Bloodborne. This is going to be an unforgettable experience Mati. Also the menu music is god tier!!!
This was my second game after my intro of Bloodborne. I'm so hype for Mati to play this too!!
Feels like forever ago bro thank you lots for being here
Such a wholesome reaction to the start screen music 🤩🙏 instant fan!
If you are still curious where DS3 fits, it definitely takes place after DS1 and 2. There are a couple of areas and items and npcs that reference this. Really hope you enjoy playing the entire game.
Holy Shizz all these years later and just now thanks to your videos my brain finally made the connection that the title theme is the same leitmotif as the DarkLurker's theme, completely blows my mind that there are still things to discover that connect the titles
You forgot the cell with a thief in it. Also there's a stairs at the dead dragon with a common tool you might appreciate up them. The First Flame got moved 2+ times. When you get frostbite, your stamina recovery gets slower and you get damage from the proc. A lot of DS2 story things make it into DS3 and effects a lot if you're paying attention.
Its time! I've been dying for this episode for so long! This was my second FromSoft game ever and what cemented me as a Soulsbourne fan! I cannot wait to see how much you enjoy this!
Your reaction to the OST was amazing. Glad when people can appreciate the music.
Instant chills when that menu theme pulls up. They really went hard with the OST
Same as Dark Souls 1 If the chains facing towards you it's a mimic if its facing away from you it's a chest. Also if I'm not mistaken on the tower you cant go all the way up where you kill your first abyss enemy or what you say alien dudes theres wood planks on the same level you can smash and jump down there.
Let's go! Here are some tips.
1. Builds - For builds there are like 5 main ones. Strength, Dexterity, quality (take Strength and dex to 40), intelligence (spells), faith (healing, buffs, and other spells). Quality will give you the most versatility to try different weapons.
2. Scaling - Weapon scaling is more important than bass damage. If you want a strength build then choose a weapon with an A, B, or S scaling in strength. Same goes with Dex, Int, and faith. If you find a weapon that you really like but doesn't scale in your build type then Andre might be able to make it scale with Gems but you have to find them out in the world.
3. Firelink roof - keep trying. There is a way to get on the roof of firelink shrine at the beginning of the game.
4. Parrying - the parry happens when the shield swings up and away not when winding it up. Small round shields are the best at parrying.
5. Always check around firelink shrine when you return there. NPCs will come and go often.
6. Kicking - kicking is ment to break guards. When an enemy has their shield up you can kick it and break their guards.
7. Weapon arts - alot of weapons have unique weapon arts. When trying new weapons out make sure you try the light, heavy, and weapon art out. Weapon arts use the blue estus too.
If you have any questions just ask brother.
DS2 has its periodic ganks, and DS3 has its periodic enemies with nearly infinite stamina, like the knight you had trouble defeating after the dragon.
Pontiff knight full combo is unreal
The only time i see that as an problem, is the Corvian Knights in the Ariandel DLC, those bastards never stop attacking and are pretty tanky.
Dude, pure joy to watch you enjoy DS3 for a first time and in the way how it should be enjoyed, with knowledge of all that was before. Thanks! :)
Just a heads up, vitality is a new stat that determines you equip load.
Also:
If you want to do a melee/magic hybrid build, its normally best to pick two of the offensive stats to focus on. Examples being a Strength/Intelligence build, or Dexterity/Intelligence build. This helps you not waste any stat points. Normally for hybrid builds you want your weapon in the right hand and a catalyst (staff) in the left hand.
Later on you will be able to add infusions to your weapons to make them scale better with different stats. Just make sure to pay attention to the stat screens of weapons and look at the letters to see how they scale with different stats.
Nah this isn't really correct. On an honest NG playthrough you are meant to pick one damage stat, if he wants magic he should do pure Int or Faith build and his melee options will still be fine. Maxing out 2 damage stats is inefficient and unnecessary. He can simply infuse any regular melee weapon with Int/Faith scaling, before he unlocks that base damage is more than fine. Splitting focus with str/dex past whats needed for requirements will simply make his spellcasting much weaker without any added damage benefit to his melee damage.
Until you get to an extremely high level (130+), hybrid builds are a noob trap. My guess is he's going to do some type of hybrid build like you said, then complain why it feels weak, because he doesn't understand leveling/scaling fully.
@@yeahr1ghty I agree that focusing on one stat is the superior way to go, I was more recommending if he wants to go hybrid, keep it at two stats maximum, no more than that.
@Yeah Right I guess a better way to say what I meant is, to get minimum requirement for either the weapon or spell you want to use, then focus primarily on the other.
@@yeahr1ghty honestly it doesn’t matter on the first playthrough, they made the game easier and more accessible so even if you waste stats you still excel. This is why you can dodge 7 times from the start in a row, this only increases as you level up your stamina pool so you basically outscale enemies unless you intentionally throw away souls. In a regular casual playthough, you get more than enough souls and levels to just romp through the game. This is also why it is the most popular souls game because of the ease you can feel “badass” by dodging that hit or taking down that big enemy. Ds1 and DS2 are still kings in comparison to ds3 in many many aspects from lore to builds to pvp
Oh yeah weapon scaling on infused weapons isn’t a thing in ds3 anymore.
LETS GO PURE INT BUILD!! You can get an item pretty early on that will make whatever weapon you choose to use scale with intelligence.
I used a pure intelligence build my first play through using the broadsword infused with the magic gem and sorceries.
However my second play through was way more fun playing as a pyromancer. Pyromancie scales with intelligence and faith. I used the battle axe infused with the chaos gem and pyromancies.
Good ol blind playthroughs where you miss the bonfire and make your life unnecessarily hard hahah. Happens to the best of us
The music in this one slaps so hard. Glad you are enjoying it!
Btw Ds3 takes place after the events of DS2 and ds1 but it takes place closer to lordran than it does to drangleic
Your enthusiasm is so communicative, what a joy to see you discover these (very habitable very cosy) lands ! Following this series is going to be a blast
If you didnt know: the giant tree is actually from ds2 and the handmaid in firelinkshrine aswell
YES, FINALLY! This game holds a special place in my heart as the first game I played in th he souls borne series and I am so glad you're getting to experience my favorite game in this epic series
He the only streamer who listen ds 3 main theme
This is amazing. It’s like playing the game again for the first time. Love you bro. Keep it up.❤
Your excitement is soo enjoyable to watch.Keep it up!! Easy subscribe
*SOME STUFF YOU MISSED AND HELPFUL TIPS*:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can kick enemies' shields away and then riposte them.
23:46 You missed the area to the left of Firelink.
42:53 You missed the area right in front of you, up the stairs to the left. (when you go up there, walk on the dragon. he's very crunchy.)
1:03:58 Forgot to free my mans after getting the key.
1:05:29 You can see two items you missed down on the left.
1:05:32 You can jump across to the other rooftop and get an item.
1:11:47 You can power through the fire (and other areas of denial like this) by spam rolling through it. You can also kill the dragon and get a bunch of goodies by shooting it enough with arrows and bolts. It is definitely worth it.
1:12:08 Regular chests have coiled up chains, while Mimics do not. Also, you can literally see them breathing, lol.
1:20:13 You keep going passed this area on your right, with the stairs.
1:24:17 You missed a chest down behind those barrels and crates. Roll through em'.
1:34:15 When running back to Vordt's boss room, you can jump down out the openings on your right there.
@amirmehr151 ohh yeah yeah, lol. I'll add that.
dude, relax. he doesnt have to grab every item in the game, half the ones in this starting area are garbage anyways. You’re just gona overwhelm him. The stuff you’re listing is totally unnecessary, you’re backseating.
@@Slothhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Just tryna get him to open his eyes more and know what's possible lol.
IM SO HAPPY. i knew that you were gonna get to DS3 so i SAVED it. im gonna be playing it at the same and im so excited!
Super excited for this. Be careful about spreading yourself too thin in your stats. I know you want to try a bit of everything, but the game is just not built that way. At most, pick one or two main offense stats and focus on levelling those up to 40ish by endgame. If you want to try different builds, that's what NG+ and additional playthroughs are for! Good luck Ashen One!
We here baby. Hella hyped for this series
Fog gates in Firelink Shrine are normal. I have no idea why they appear, but they always disappear in a few minutes.
If I remember right they’re just there since the outside area loads a little slower than the inside of Firelink. It’s another “instance” or something like that.
I'm so glad I found your channel. I subscribed just by seeing your 5s first reaction to the Main menu theme.
Honor and glory, and beauty, and peosy is coming!
Hi from France!
The music in firelink shrine can be changed in the future by giving a certian item to the firekeeper. The firekeeper also has reactions to gestures you do
I absolutely love when the firelink music changes. I don't know that much about music technically, but I do wonder if it switches to a minor key.
I can’t believe this is my first time seeing your acc, your play throughs are so easy and entertaining to watch! I’ll have to watch your bloodborne after these!
Now that you've started DS3 something you should know is that it has FOUR different endings compared to the previous two games. The first ending is easy to get, the next two require the firekeepers story quest, and the last requires following a very convoluted and long story quest that's very easy to mess up so its not a bad thing to miss it tbh.
And when a certain item is given to the Firekeeper toward one of the alternate endings, the music in Firelink changes, becomes darker, richer.
Hey yo Mati, I'm really happy that you made this video and playing dark souls 3. It was my first Souls Game and does therefore have a special place in my heart. I always wish that I could experience DS 3 as if it were my first time but sadly this isn't possible. But you playing it for the first time and me seeing you experiencing everything that I loved in this game, everything I laughed, cried or was in complete awe about is really close to that. I didn't even really start the video but I already know that it will be great. I really thank you and love you for that because it fills me not only with nostalgia but also with happiness to see someone who is as cool and awesome as you play dark souls 3. I hope that you will enjoy the game because I did. It's not perfect but I'd say it's close to being that as it really teached me to carry on and to not give up, for one who doesn't give up and stays true in his good intentions will never fail. Thank you man and a great day to you and everyone who read my *short* comment.
Edit: So after some sleep and finally finishing the video I have to say some things.
First of all, f* yeah BABY that's what I've been waiting for, that's what it's all about, Wooooooo!
It just makes me so damn happy that you enjoy dark souls 3 this much from the beginning! I mean the way you just jammed to the dark souls theme at the the beginning as well as to vordts theme at the end shows that, but these ost's just hit different because they're all so damn good. Your reactions to the beginning, the hub area, the music and everything else was just great and genuinely believe that you are already very good, man. You use your shield well, use your fire bombs extensively and have even beaten a dark snake monster on your own. At the end you even killed the lothric knights like they were nothing and even killed the red eyed blue knight first frickin time, i mean c'mon that's really impressive because this dude killed me very often in my first play through. Which means the experience you acquired through the other games really shows, especially when you second try the first to bosses.
But light criticism or better, tips for you when you play dark souls 3 and if you even want them. So, you already alloted your flasks which was great because you were right, you didn't need the blue flasks and also good that you took the broad sword and leveled it up instead because of its better stats. But firstly take a little bit more time to explore, there's always something to find so don't be afraid to take a closer look around the area. Also some tips, Alt button is for slow walking with which you can can sneak up on enemies. Left Ctrl allows you to use the the weapon arts which you already found out by using the parry. But when you press f to double wield you can unleash mighty attacks or special abilities which use the blue FP. Okay i think this was all from my side. You already did very well on your own and I'm so happy to see you enjoying DS 3. I really love this game, but you playing it makes it even better, be prepared for little nostalgia trips and also hard beatings which I am certain that you will arise victorious from. The boss fights will "mostly" get better and better every time and so will their Ost's. I'm really looking forward to it.
Lastly a fun fact: The theme at the beginning of dark souls 3, the title screen music was meant to be the boss theme for the final boss of the game so it is no wonder that it goes so hard. You will encounter the boss later in the game but he isn't the final boss anymore.
If want to know which boss, spoiler warning ahead. But yeah this was all, have a great day!
Spoiler warning ⚠️
It was Pontiff Sullivan's theme
Hurt the Fire Keeper and I'll invade you! 😂
All hail dark eater
don’t spoil
@@TheRealProdigybruh that’s not even a spoiler lol. Super vague and generic. I get why though.
I haven’t finished watching the entire Bloodborne saga but I had to peek in here real quick. This man is a legend for appropriating all that goes into these games. Music, scenery, storylines… all of it. Great content and amazing energy. I saw Demon souls is been uploaded so I have a lifetime of content 🤙🏾🔥
"This is giving me bloodborne vibes" my brother in christ they were made by the same developers
No way
Finally... Been waiting for this one for a long time!! 🤲 The memories I have with this game are all kicking right in!!
