I came here because someone on the Elden Ring subreddit said people were clowning on you over having trouble with Margit.
Never watched a video of yours before, but you're pretty funny and entertaining. No lie I had to hold back a spit take while watching this. The pure elation in your voice when you finished him off was awesome, and you seem to be picking up on the mechanics really fast if this is really your first souls game other than Sekiro.
Keep it up and don't let those maidenless runts get you down! I'll be cheering for you along with the rest of the community that aren't a bunch of knobs.
This is the type of positivity and encouragement we need to see in the gaming community! Kudos to you man, and have a good day

I don't understand people who shit on new players, I love watching new players, you can see them getting better over time and it's also fun watching someone get beat down.
I definitely think you should keep going and upload more Elden Ring
They're the same people afraid (yes, afraid) of the games having an easy mode. And the REAL reason for that? They know they'll bitch out and use it. Like, is it so bad that the game is bought by more people and more successful? Would it be so evil if a disabled person were able to enjoy it as well? No? JUST want them to be semi niche games (yes, I know the sales numbers, but it's an outlier. Meant the "franchise" as a whole.).
@@tyrongkojy Not gonna argue with that as it is an age old debate , I'll just say agree to disagree.
@@someguy6152 No. I won't agree. People who fight against easy modes being there, as an option for those who want/need them, know they are going to be one of the ones who bitch out. Period. If you're against an easy mode being an option it's because you know you'll bitch out.
@@tyrongkojy Tough words from someone who can't Google a simple term that means "we agree to disagree with each other and leave the conversation at that"
@@someguy6152 No, I know what it means. i am not agreeing to disagree. You don't want because you know you'll bitch out. That, or the idea of people without the time/capability to get through these games actually playing them offends you, which means the other alternative is you're a scumbag. Either or.

The bloodknife enemies are super annoying. There's an invisible one too. I had to upgrade the undead soldiers just to beat him, because it's pretty much impossible to hit him without them.
I do enjoy that everyone, like as a hive mind collective almost, decided that "maidenless" was the same as the "no bitches?" meme. Really brings a sense of community to it all :)
No maidens?
No maidens?
I mean it is the exact same meaning
Great timing of this meme

This video FULLY encapsulates a first experience with Soulsborne games. You can hear the joy and relief when Zanny finally got Margit. It's what I love about these games.
"Okay, patience."
*runs past the summon sign*
The last hit against Margit edited to the music was hella well done.
Zanny: Ask for tips
The Community: Get Good. Sword Game Easy.
The community seems to have evolved from that oddly enough.
@@totallyrealcia i know right? like this is my first souls game and i was warned that the community tends to gate keep but i haven’t had anything but good experiences so far.
@@nashvillesfinest1718 I think its that they’re breaking through to mainstream audiences and the toxicity is drowning out. The actual community was nice anyway but as always the toxic players get the most attention
@@totallyrealcia About time too honestly. The community went more towards the "to git gud, try this" side after DS2 which is a lot more fun to see, especially now that there's so many new people giving this game a chance and possibly wanting to try the other FromSoft games. I'm sure there's still going to be loads of twinks running around in pvp to balance it out in the near future haha
I can say from experience most of the people who say things like git gud are either joking and will give advice after, or forgot what that boss did to them their first time.
If you want my advice level your weapon, level yourself, try not to forget about consumables and don't be afraid to leave a boss till later on for when you're better equipped not great advice but it's there if you need it.
Hearing zanny's glee from his first hurtle reminded me when I defeated my first souls wall, keep struggling zanny I'm rooting for you man
All these likes and still no replies?
Just like when I beat Vordt and got through the 1st bit of the High Wall of Lothic. Hell. Just Hell.
Then I beat him and was so happy I literally yelled. 🤣
@Sleepy Ghost who was your first souls wall?
@@thenecromancer5007 that was vort. I was stuck on him for three weeks😅
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought the loading screen stuff was concept art, but after exploring much of the game, I can confirm they are all actual in game areas.
It is concept art since you don't actually see, for example radahn fighting malenia, or fia laying in bed with a dead guy
Bro he's talking about the loading screens not the art in the intro cutscenes.
I explored all of limgrave, weeping peninsula, and most of caelid before margit because I heard how hard he was. I guess I did a little too much exploring because my +8 weapons absolutely wrecked him
I did something similar by defeating radahn before rennala and I killed her in almost three hits
yes that was a little too much xD
I just explored the first map fragment we get and I think i had a good challange. not too hard but I didn't get wrecked
"Time for the first boss"
Margit: Wrong, *Hits you with a stick until you realise you should go somewhere else*
I am so stupid and stubborn that I just brutforced that mf before realizing, that I should've grinded before it.
@@mr.lockwood1424 I mean why not
it doesn't lock you out of the content
Hard as shit if get hit once and little damage to a boss
but hay why not if can and truly want to test your skill
i mean, he's not even the "first" boss, technically. There is the soldier guy in the tutorial area, and the Grafted boss even before that(but he first one is too easy and the Grafted is supposed to be lost against, but its not impossible to beat him)
I was lvl 40 when I fought him because I couldn't figure out where to go and didn't want to look it up
@@fiendishbean Wait wait wait...is 40 considered low for Margit?
A tip for parrying: use a small roundshield. They are much easier to parry with since they have larger parry windows. The downside is they don't block all incoming damage, only a percentage of it, so they aren't the best for guard counters. But i know you love parrying :)
Also, charged heavy attacks and jump heavy attacks deal the most damage to their stance (it's like posture from sekiro except it's hidden in ER), so you can critical hit them sooner.
Small round shield got it
Actual chad, throwing around real tips.
I don’t even think he needs it he got good really quick, I noticed he was parrying heavy attacks early on, you won’t take damage but enemies won’t get staggered
Alternatively, get the lordsworn gs from the camp and summon the jellyfish. You can get a fully charged R2 in when he's distracted by the jellyfish and it breaks his posture in like 3 hits.
I use the guilded round shield and the healing talisman as a Samurai and it is pretty decent ngl
That joke about hanging women is infinitly boosted with that castlevania clip due to context🤣
Really hoping Zanny makes another Elden Ring video, this was really fun. It also gives me hope that someday I'll be better at Elden Ring, since I have never played any From Software game ever
Zanny wasn't kidding, he REALLY hasn't played a Souls game til now. This is the most entertaining Elden Ring trolling I've ever seen.
Doesn’t Sekiro count?
@Christoffer Good Bäckängsgymnasiet ES20C agreed. I’ve beaten souls 1-3 but the other game a struggled never finished because of the demand to parry vs just blocking
Hi, I will be glad if you check out my latest video by elden ring
Aaa, so u are a fellow zan clan member?

You should definitely keep going, it's nice to see someone else who hasn't played any souls games give it a shot
I have never played any and it’s such a frustratingly fun experience
@@harrisonhancock9428 It's frustrating, but I think that's by design. Because when you overcome the challanges brought to you, you *feel* awesome, or at least I do.

he played sekiro lol, thats like the hardest souls game

If you’re really having trouble with a certain enemy, just go in with no souls so you can focus on learning their animations and timing without worrying about dying. It takes away the biggest penalty of death.

I like to tie the phrase "Difficult but fair" to the FromSoftware games. You're doing great Zanny and have already learned the two most important lessons for Elden Ring. 1: Sometimes it's better to put a boss on the back burner and go do something else to get stronger. And 2: Sometimes the only thing that will help is perseverance i.e. smashing your head into the wall until the wall breaks. Glad you seem to be enjoying the game. Hope to see more videos of this.
Those two lessons contradict themselves, you do realize that right?
@@CrimeaRiver58 Not necessarily. Sometimes you can only put a boss on the back burner for so long before you have to put in the work to kill it. However, going and leveling up can be extremely helpful at giving you an edge.
Killing the bosses is like smashing a wall with your head. Obviously you're gonna need to go buy some helmets and stuff first but also remember to do some head smashing every once in a while. And also remember to buy the nuclear warhead(hehe) for the final wall
Well, it's a Die and Retry, no difficulty there.
Did you just call FromSoftware games "fair"?? They are literally built on artificial difficulty and Trial n' Error.
I know its a lot of work to make these videos but its really appreciated! I would happily take another one! you had me cracking up almost the entire video. thanks for helping me start my day off right!
I love how Zanny reinvented jousting and called it “cheesing the boss”
“There’s no featured Zan-clan meme today”
*The gods have been angered*
“Instead here’s a picture of Kirin”
*The gods have been appeased*

Every dark souls player: impossible
A boss too
At this rate i was sure it doesn’t exist lmfao
Been following you since fallen order. Don't ever stop being you and playing the way you play. It's amusing, entertaining, and I find new things to try. Elden Ring is my first Souls game also, and I'm nowhere near where you're at. 😆 thanks for the great videos. 👍
@14:27 Sekiro is the only FromSoft game with no pvp and a character driven, story becayse everyone is Sekiro (Wolf). As a result there is no OP build of the moment people can abuse, because if its good in PVP it's gonna be OP in PVE. Sekiro is likely the most restrictive and skill based of all the FromSoft games; this is why only about 45% of all players, across all platforms, have beaten the game. Glad to be part of the club, it's still my favorite with this (ER) being like 9.9999 of what Sekiro is; I really enjoyed my time in that universe and hope for more. I do see it's influence, it's what made me switch up to play more aggressive since the AI responds to it. It's Sekiro-lite but the jumping and stuff is from there; which is so helpful. It was developed in paralell with ER as I understand it.
Genuinely best way to get better at these games is to find stuff that works for you. Don’t listen to the dumbasses who say “git gud,” they are maidenless. Try out a bunch of different weapons and see what you like and form your strat around that. The game is harder mostly because of the slight delays on the attacks so you can’t spam roll. As a Dark Souls vet that hit me the hardest. General tips for getting better at these are, don’t neglect leveling your health as some things can’t be blocked or you might end up taking a hit and need that extra bit of health to survive. Shields are also really nice and I will always recommend the medium shields as they can get good parry frames (if you are able) and block a good majority and aren’t too heavy. I usually recommend for new players for souls games go for med rolls or in other words medium gear so that they can start to get timers and stuff when fighting bosses. Also as you were doing in the vid don’t be afraid to come back to a boss later, leveling is great to help give you a little bit more of an edge on bosses. I hope any of this helps sorry if it’s a bit of a jumble tried to think of my best tips and will reply with more later.

Mega SWORD game
Please make a full series on this game, fallen order style. Also really good if you wanna play defensive is put the ash of war "barricade shield" on your shield, which buffs your shield to make you take less stamina damage when you block attacks, allowing you to block more attacks before you get guard broken. Alternatively, I use a greatshield which already has good stamina drain when blocking and the "no skill" ash of war and use the "hoarfrost stomp" ash of war on my main weapon which does crazy damage to anything caught in the damage cone.
The shield he's using in this video is incredibly good. Especially when upgraded. Honestly it's pretty overpowered compared to the other medium shields.
I can tank boss hits as a mage with 10 Endurance using it.
1:17 you died…. EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

As a long term FromSoft player I've spent 7hrs trying to beat one of the secret bosses. People who look down on you all high and mighty are just weird and shouldn't be seen as THE community Zanny. I was glad to see your reaction to Margit, both the first one as well as when you beat him. Take your time with this game, it'll take a while but it is absolutely worth it and I hope you're able to find some people who can actually help you should you need some tips. The actual community is very supportive and helps each other out (once you dive deep and get past the "git gud" crowd on the surface)

Even as a souls veteran, Margit was BRUTAL. The amount of random followups and bullshit mixups were something else, but it set up pretty well that the game expects you to use summons and magic. Pure melee does not seem to be the go-to here.
1240 hours in DS3... Margit took me 3 hours and a LOOOOOOOOT of rage.
*visible confusion while taking up colossal power stance. Tell me one more time pure melee doesn't do the trick
@@kungflupenguin1067 true... Astrologist has such little health I had to flawless the boss.
@@kungflupenguin1067 you can do pure melee, but ER gives so much disgustingly powerful ranged option. You can cheese anything with the moonweil 1-2 punch or bleed twinswords, but you have none of that at Margit.
@@yhormthemidget I wouldn't even say there's a disgusting amount of options tbh. It feels like the balancing is backwards and the awesome looking ranged attacks like dropping a freaking moon on enemies does 100 damage, while a pebble that cost a fraction of the fp does 500 damage.
These videos have gotten me through some rough times (I had to do dishes)
I'm so sorry for you.
This video cracked me up. You’re commentary is hilarious. And that yell when you beat Margit. We’ve all been there. That feeling of pure joy/want to cry. 😂. Please make more Elden ring content. 🙏🏻
I've also never played a souls game and at first this game was brutal, I had no clue what I was doing. But the sense of getting better at the game is amazing and addicting. Avoiding some bosses to level up your character doesn't feel like a chore at all, it's just pure fun exploring this amazingly detailed world
I’ve never touched any game of this genre and I’m buying the game today. If I never end up beating it that’s alright. Just looks like a great big workd
Havent played this game yet
I was wondering if the lore was delivered to the player
Because dark souls was not
You have to draw on your on conclusions and assumptions from the bits of info from each item descriptions in the game
@@Zer-db1bp invest in a shield. At least for the runts, it is very easy to parry them because there is a new mechanic to counter them rather than the common arm swish that is very hard to master
@@dyanaforest7174 Same thing as dark souls.
@@dyanaforest7174 Well, lore and story as a general is much more comprehensible in Elden Ring than in Dark Souls. In Dark Souls I was like, "huh? Firelink? Age of Fire? Cycle of Fire? what?" but here I understand whatever I've come across so far.
Me waiting for the puppy break
Zanny: "Put these foolish ambitions to rest."
I've noticed that there are certain bosses where some people will have no trouble beating them and some people who just get absolutely destroyed like me and my friend against Mohg. He breezed past it while I got my ass handed to me for like 2 days.
7:12 *Me with 10k souls at the start of the game*
The best tip I can give is to know what you're dodging. Don't just dodge because of an attack. Identify the attack, what it does, and prepare as it's being telegraphed. This is hard to do early on, especially if you've never seen the enemy before, but it will help.
My best tip is: alternate quickly between defense and offense, and never get too focused on one. You have to always keep some level of pressure in order to make the bosses fall so you can get a critical, but you have to keep a good window for dodging and blocking, so...
My edgy named tactic is: DarkBlood. Why? Basically, you alternate between Dark Souls' defensive playstyle and Bloodborne's hyper agressive mode. Whenever you feel safe to attack, alternate to "Blood Mode" go for it with all your forces, use jump attacks to close distance, rolling attacks and/or guard counters to punish the boss, always look for an opportunity to hit a charged heavy or an Ash of War, and keep as close as you can for you to dodge the attacks and punish all the time. When you spend too much stamina, is low HP or the boss is doing some really deadly attack/combo, enter "Dark Mode", try to still keep close to the enemy if possible, but be very careful, cower behind your shield as much as you can, only attack if very necessary and try using more light attacks for quick punishments, before hiding behind the shield again. Keep like that for a while, capitalizing on some small opportunities and focusing on staying alive, but try to go back to "Blood Mode" as fast as you can so you can destroy their posture stance and give them another critical hit eventually.
Try to diversificate your moveset, spamming light attacks will certainly get you killed. Also, don't panic roll, they've made the roll way less spammable in this game, so that's also a nice way to get hit. Use heavier attacks so you can break posture stances, time your rolls so you can get the most outta the i-frames, don't be afraid to just hide behind your shield when you can, and keep in mind the DarkBlood tip (god, this name is just pure cringe. It would definetly be better if i just called it DarkBorne, but i probably gave it an edgy name on purpose).
I hope this helps. Anyway...
*GiT gUd ScRuB* 🤪😜😀😂🤡
hi yes would like to say thank you for the very well informed tip now time to adapt this to a duel wield style. any tips?
Tldr, a soulsborne veteran such as myself can only say. Gut gud kid
@@Somerandomedude-go8el Everyone thinks spamming with dual wield is a good meta, but it actually shit. Bosses can sometimes just tank the hits, and it makes you predictable. Plus if anything tanks your hits, you get bitchslapped by whatever obnoxiously large weapon is the meta.
Dual wielding isn't great unless it combos very well (like ds3's dual sellswords) so usually you want something like Zanny actually had here. Something fast to spam in one hand, the other a heavy and slow big dps stick to flatten anything you see. Regardless of loadout, skills and such, mobility is your bread and butter so whatever you do just try to focus on that GOOD dodge lmao
What about the cat dude in Stormveil Castle? He never stops attacking so there is no open window
@@Somerandomedude-go8el i don't play dual wield, but the best i can say is for you to double down in Blood mode. Considering that you won't have a shield, you'll definetly have to be twice as agressive. Just remember: most of the time you'll be safer if you're close to the opponent. You'll probably be just fine with your power-stance if you're learning well how Weapon Scaling works.
The thing about Fromsoft bosses - your personal playstyle will heavily weigh into how difficult any given boss is. Some people will find a particular boss very difficult while others will find it relatively easy. It al comes down to personal playstyle.
This was incredible Im glad youre playing this, and I wish you good luck with your next boss fight too
I would love to see this become a regular thing, with this being your first souls game and you actually being funny. I recently found you Zanny, and you're quickly rising up as one of my favorite youtubers. You're not pretending to be someone else and most of your jokes land hard enough to get an out loud laugh from me, thank you.
Quick tip!
For anyone who hasnt played a souls game and is struggling with margit, 1: Adding a summon raises the bosses health by a bit
2: you should explore around the map and level up whatever you have before attempting the fight
3: his stick can be blocked and parried, his miracles (the spells he uses) cannot be parried
4: dont rush them, its about knowing when to get a few hits in
Finally some real advice.
9:13 "You don't stand a chance Ratatouille"
That killed me haha!
I just noticed that the Margit hammer is the same as the troll crusher
Here's a tip, When facing a big monster don't hit it for the first minute or so until you've seen its attacks and can get the timing down, then assume SGCP (Standard Giant Circumcision Position).
Also practice parrying on the mobs to learn the timings. Other than that, git gud.
hehe " Giant Circumcision"
funny
Also make sure to have small shields if u want to parry (if used in the right hand bigger the parry window)
@@anstorner eh I'd say find what shield works for you, some people like meds, some like the smaller ones, but true Chad uses barehands
Can you explain SGCP more in depth pls?
@@christiana5453 Ah of course, what you want to do is get right between the legs of the monster and slash away at its jubbly bits, usually one or two hits will do, also don't lock on, get used to aiming with the right thumb stick, as it allows for better strikes (if you look up you'll swing upward) also allows you to see more of the monster so you can watch for the windups. If it has slam attacks, dodge out of range then resume SGCP.
Edit: You should really only be attacking once or twice so you don't screw your stamina, plus gives you more time to react to the faster strikes. Other than that is muscle memory and many, many attempts.
Zanny: “I know the timing now”
Also zanny: instant death
14:00 thank you for turning the volume down at this part lol
6:48 Who wants to tell him about the Pitbull of the woods?
He’ll find out soon enough
"Have you tried getting gud?"
Zanny: have you tried having sex once on your life?
Zanny woke up and chose miraLAX
I fucking love this joke.
As someone who has been a part of the souls community I agree it's can get very shitty but there is also some amazing people. Also you have done very well for you first souls game!
I’ve always felt that the incredibly elitist community that tends to follow FromSoft are the minority of who actually plays these games.
I dipped my toes in with the OG Dark Souls when the pandemic hit and have had nothing but nice and helpful experiences (including in PvP! Lots of gg’s all around).
Hear hear. Fuck the purists in particular who hate on you for building Mages and cheese builds. How about they git GUD?
Indeed, the guy who got me into gaming was a souls player, he was a good guy.
@@Ignatius-ok5kv they just get mad coz of new players who have no patience and are so dumb it ends up infuriating the community when they constantly ask for changes that would ruin the franchise
@@falaflani4831 doesn’t mean everyone will be like that
11:55
I see you playing this like Sekiro- instead of waiting for an opening and r1 spamming, try to weave in as many r2s and jumping r2s as humanley possible. You do less damage than two r1s, but you'll stagger them (like in Sekiro) for a critical hit.
Also, find a weapon you like and stick to it. Upgrade materials are rare enough that you'll be rewarded for sticking with one weapon at a time.
1:38 As an brazilian, I must say this is accurate
Almost hurtfully so
14:01 pure scream of joy right there
Zanny:"Come on game, get harder"
Zanny 2 seconds before:*skips tree sentinal*
"What is that? Ah, it moves! Nasty! Ah, giant mosquito! Oh...Brazil!"
😂😂😂
Margit, Godrick and the fucking Wolf Radagon were unironically the bosses which gave me the hardest time. It fills my heart with joy to know that I was not alone.
Player : Goes straight to Margit thinking he's the first boss
*Margit after beating the shit out of player* : *"Come back in ten years"*
He was the first boss i found (I'm not counting tree boi) but the third boss i beat
@@ryanstone2676 I just summoned Rogier to double tag him
@@thatguywithslantyeyes5902 Okay, Roiger or however you say his name, FOR ME, is MENT to deal damage, and try to not be the hero, but every time I summoned him, in each new game I've made, TRYS TO BE THE HERO, DIES WAY TO QUICK, AND LEVES ME AND THE ASH I SUMMONED, FOR DEAD! HE IS SOOOOOO USELESS, but he does help with mass dps, and get reposts (some he stils!) So, 5 out of 10 for a summon.
@@maxshafer7287Oops I'm sorry to hear that. It only worked out for me because I'm a melee build and I used the technique of hitting him to get his aggro while rogier use his spells and after that I just run away from him for rogier to get his aggro and do the vice versa. Don't worry about it I was struggling at him at first too and summoning him make the fight just a little easier if you let him get aggro all the time he will do nothing but get hit. Or you can just explore abit and come back to the fight. You can do this fellow tarnished
Big Sekiro-style tip for you boys: They kept/tweaked the posture damage mechanic but have hidden the bar. RT/R2 attacks are best at draining it, but it fills back overtime. So basically, hit any enemy/boss with enough heavy R2 attacks (jumping attack is blessed) and get free juicy ripostes. Now go absolutely slay some Elden ass
i try that with general rahadaim.....guess how that went ?
Watching Zanny struggle with Margit after beating him yourself makes it more enjoyable
His reaction to beating the first boss is why I love playing Elden Ring. When you finally beat a boss it feels like a reward cause you have to work hard to actually win. Not like Call of Duty where you can corner camp and spray and pray just to end up winning. Also so pay to win cause you got a broken gun or skin that’s nearly invisible in low light.
I really hope we get more. You don't even have to do much edits to your boss deaths. Just put the entire playthrough all 500 hours of it on here raw (with some occasional puppy breaks). We'll snort it all up :)
I've played practically all the games and my reaction to you fighting Margit was more or less the opposite of what those guys were doing.
My question wasn't "you haven't beaten him yet?"
My question was "why the fuck are you fighting him already?" Lol
Because as you discovered yourself your kind of supposed to explore the rest of the open-world and level up more before you go fighting him
Not to mention that Margit is like one kof the hardest bosses in the game. Not insanely difficult like some of them but he's up there.
The game will literally reward you for exploring like meetingg patches get Margit's Shackle for 1
14:01 is the exact reason I play these games. Failing is something that is going to happen throughout everything you do, and overcoming that failure and learning is truly everything :D
And also replying to my comment cause I got to 14:32 XD
#NotEveryFromSoftFan. I love seeing new people get into this series, and it sucks knowing there are people out there that essentially push others away with some elitist bullshit.
To everyone new, take these games at your own pace. It's a single player game more than a multiplayer one, and if things take you a smidge or someone makes you feel like you're doing something wrong, fuck em! Keep doing what you're doing and keep figuring things out! Exploring and experimenting with the things you find is one of the major points to these games! Dont let others deter you. The experience is important, and I just dont want other people to spoil that :p
And yeah, to those of you PVP people complaining about Rivers of Blood, Vykes Spear, ect., the way I've always seen it is that these games give you the options to fight against that shit. So adapt and figure out what it takes to beat that cause it is possible. And yeah, obvs if you're just straight hacking/exploiting something that is clearly broken, please stop. Cause it aint helpin shit.
14:01 This is the most relatable feeling ever
7:47 That scream killed me💀💀
Killed you? It sent me across the floor like a Roomba.
Honestly so amazing to see your fight with Margit, the story of triumph was so real dude, really well done.
Exploring to gain power before bosses is probably my favourite thing about the game, never feels like I'm wasting my time with secondary objectives
12:26 The lock on system can be jank so you can play unlocked and increase camera sensitivity, it helps when the camera is the true boss.
11:16 POV you just entered hell
I'm not a fan of Souls games but I'm very impressed with the enemy variety this one offers. The 2 giants with axes just walking toward you was just jaw dropping
There are awesome enemies in this game, without going into too many spoilers there’s an area that’s just full of giant hands with 20 fingers that grab you and mutilate you.
@@ascended313 where's that at?
@@darthrevan454 mostly on northside of the map
@@darthrevan454 there's a lot of them in the big manor on the north west kinda side
@@darthrevan454 north western Liurnia, it’s called Caria manor.
Whatever game you play, Zanny, we’re here for you. I think I speak for most in this community when I say the effort you put in to edit your videos is not under appreciated.
^^^facts
yea he somehow makes everything funny
"cmon, game! get hard and punish me!"
man didn't even try😭
