I was really waiting for some fireworks at that Mimic death. Hard not to relive that epic Cowboy vs. Mimic confrontation at the Pontiff Sulyvahn church from the vanilla playthrough.
@@9094578998 I don't know what kind of testing you have been doing but I've seen the giant crab tank bosses like a champ when playing druid. I'm not quite sure how summons scale but with a maxed conjuration tool and 60 int/faith the crab is a beast.
Have to say I'm enjoying the hell out of this so far. This mod seems to be changing things up enough to make it more than "just another DS3 playthrough" and your reactions are great. This is shaping up to be one of my favorite LPs you've done. I'm also tempted to load this mod up myself and give it a go. Love what they've done with it so far!
Him trying to sprint past the enemies and consistently getting hit by the same ones 3-4 times, knowing they’re there, is hurting my brain. Would’ve gotten so much further, so quicker if he just fought.
So glad you are posting these! I found this mod but had to delete it to play coop with a friend. With this now I can experience it while playing DS3 vanilla and waiting for elden ring
@@ManG1aze this mod overhauls every other build to compete with it so we should at least try other builds not the same build with a change on the secondary stat
This mod is considerably easier than vanilla DS3, it just starts very hard because it's balanced around all the op shit you can quickly get. It gets so so easy later if you build properly.
Thanks for posting this! Was replaying DS3 before Elden Ring, and Convergence is next on my DS3 play throughs. Keep up the great content! I’ll definitely be back when you start putting in some Elden Ring videos.
It would be interesting if they added a necro spell that converted souls to be able to recast. Like 1000 for starter summons, 10k to 20k for higher level summons, or you had the ability to spend souls to heal your summons for less than that. Like 100 souls for 400 hp or something like that.
@FightinCowboy. Started the convergence mod as soon as I saw your first video. Pretty well progressed. I think the beginning is a little challenging. Love the added difficulty. Now I'm sailing through easy p-zy. Necro/Lightning STR/FTH here
Watching ur lp made me wanna try the convergence again but I’m trying a lost soul class and not adding hp it hasn’t been fun to say the least so far 12 hrs in and on the 4th boss but is passing time till elden ring ❤️
Watching this makes me want to start over so I have some kind of range attack. Paladin has a hammer and shield and good armor but there are so many lothric knights in the first area it makes me nervous in anticipation of my run.
@@FightinCowboy my bad man, you were bragging about how you knew where every item was, since you do walkthroughs, thought maybe I could help out a bit, won’t happen again.

There is this weapon called Corvian Blade(Greatblade?). Probably the most coolest and fun weapon for me. Best thing: starting weapon for the blood priest class :p I started the game with it, tried a loooot of other weapons and some of them were really awesome. But for the last fight with gael, I just had to end it with that weapon. Best fight I had.
Yeah, necromancy kinda sucks really early on, like it's fun watching the summons fighting and all but they are just not that usefully , latter on when you get a ton more attunements slots and can slap lots os summons It will be like a corpse machine gun
It does, according to couch jockey(mod creator himself) "Necromancer isn't the best class for beginners as it is a tad underwhelming early game, but gets better if you know how to use it but as long as you're having fun it's alright" That said here's some tips 1. Necromancy in the convergence is a miracle subset and as such scales to Faith and deals magic damage, whether that directly be magic damage projectiles such as Skull Throw or the magic damage your summons are innately buffed with, so level up faith and get things that increase magic element damage 2. Grind for the covenant spells once you make it to Carthus, the covenant locked spells and boss soul Transposed spells are usually the strongest 3. Get spells/items that give your summons more HP and defense 4. Also since Necromancy scales to Faith you could use the other faith spells too, such as regular miracles which do lightning damage and holy miracles that do physical
When I tried this mod I kept crashing when close to firelink shrine or going to the place in the beginning of this video / Boreal Valley, I ain't sure how to fix this problem. I am very new to modding overall in this game hence I cannot see what I did wrong.
If anyone got any information to fix this then I would love to try the ways. As I ain't sure if it was a file error or if the titles when going to some locations are just crashing me.
I know when not long ago if you used the green crystal to unsummon before they died and then resummon them they'd have full hp again, idk if that's still true but worth a try
Wow this mod looks amazing. I think it's time for me to switch to the PC. You just do not get the same experience from the Consoles. So much more to do on PC. I really want to play this mod.
I think it would be sweet if you can summon miniature versions of the bosses and lastly this is gonna be of topic but i wonder if cowboy has thought about doing a small livestream of brilliant diamond or shining pearl or that though never even crossed his mind 🤔
@@FightinCowboy seemed to me like he was just trying to help, im sure you get a lot of annoying shit to deal with as a content creator but it seems like the guy was being genuine in sharing useful information if not for you, but other viewers who may try the mod also.
It was telling me something that I missed and explaining how to get to it which I understand why you think it's helpful but here I am playing a Souls mods that mixes things up and changes items and there's something new that I haven't discovered and I'd rather just stumble onto that rather than have somebody explain where I should go. I just explained how I get burnt out on Dark Souls because after a while I usually just know where everything is at and then there's something that I didn't know about and it just gets spoiled by somebody, do you see why that's upsetting?
@@FightinCowboy I watched the video in its entirety as I did the first one in this series, I understand exactly what you are saying and I know where you are coming from. Also I thought I addressed that saying I'm sure it's annoying as a content creator having people inform you on how to do, what you basically do for a living, on a daily basis. I personally don't know your plans but based on how you spoke of the game in the two videos it's already kind of a drag because as you said you've run through it so many times and even with the mod it's still predictable, point being I don't imagine you starting anew and actually going back and looking for that specific item so as I said "if not for you, for someone else who may try the mod" I'm not trying to give anyone shit it just bothered me the way you reacted.
I would have picked the Druid, blood knight, or cryomancer. Necromancer skeletons look dumb as a sack of flour, and you already did a hex build on the last cinders mod I believe. This doesn’t feel any different or new 😕. I hope you enjoy this mod and fun, you’re an awesome dude.
I've had a cold for the last week so that's definitely part of it. Having to mute every other world to blow my nose or sneeze so it's been shit trying to record.
The mod is centered on spells and magic classes there's melee but why play the same as always if there new thing to use and see. The mod is to provide a new experience center around magic which ds3 in a way was lacking a true way to do a caster playthrough.
@@CRBRUSX nah its fair enough, it's just spamming at a distance isn't the most entertaining watch! X ...weve all used a cheeky fire ball to bum through a tough area haha!
@@cantydarknorthmedia Honestly it's refreshing being able to complete the game in a new way. Before I wanted to be pure caster but I found myself constantly needing to mainly use a melee weapon so I could save fp for areas I needed it the most.

Cant wait for him to get darkwraith, pus of man and the deep accursed.
At the beginning, of the classes I've played its the more difficult but once you grab a big summon like pus of man it gets much better
*Death Count:* 8
*Death By:*
Gravity (1), Mimic (1), Hollow Soldier (3), Hollow Soldier - Greataxe (2), Outrider Knight (1)
You do the lord's work.
I was really waiting for some fireworks at that Mimic death. Hard not to relive that epic Cowboy vs. Mimic confrontation at the Pontiff Sulyvahn church from the vanilla playthrough.
Yooooo! You're back! Sooo nice to see you again!!!
Hollow Soldier - Halberd 20:57
Welcome back hero
One of the most anticipated series while we wait for ER.
Yes it was a good show
Har har
Diqinyomouf!
11:28 not only did you get kicked in the chest, you were kicked by a chest.
Starter summons aren't great, but the ones after can get pretty insane.
i tested with Giant crab and Elder Ghru, both died from 3 to 4 shots from bosses.
@@9094578998 those are druid summons not Necro summons
Yeah, the early Necro summons like basic hollows and shit suck, but the Darkwraith and Pus Of Man ones? Oh hell yeah
Necro is difficult early game. End game Necro is a map obliterating beast.

It’s 100% worth a try if you haven’t yet you wouldn’t regret it

lmao that frost knight clapped your cheeks and sent you packing back up the elevator....love this series CB, keep it up!
Blood mage is honeslty one of my favorites. Healing while doing massive damage is just so nice lol
I'm predicting by episode 6 this will be a strength build with a side of necromancy.
And in episode six he grabbed the Maul Of The Dead (a Greathammer with innate Necromancy infusion) so yeah strength and Necromancy, you called it
So glad you are posting these! I found this mod but had to delete it to play coop with a friend. With this now I can experience it while playing DS3 vanilla and waiting for elden ring
Actually really enjoying this mod love your ds playthroughs bro keep doing what you do bro
The knight reverse bamboozle on the ladder 😅
I was eyeing this mod, might give it a try after completing my thesis. In the meantime Lets just have fun watching
Best of luck with your thesis. Keep pushing
Idk about anyone else but that mimic set the tone for the rest of the video. I find cowboys nervous grunts quite hilarious.
Watch him make another strength build that uses magic as a secondary option
The best build lol
@@ManG1aze this mod overhauls every other build to compete with it so we should at least try other builds not the same build with a change on the secondary stat
The Zug Zug is all the magic you need lmao
This MOD is crazy, the OG DS3 is hard enough as it is. Great video dude, love the content!

So happy to see more ds3 content!
I forgot I downloaded this and your videos reminded me to give it a shot. Not sure what class I'm gonna play but I'm gonna get into it tonight.
Hope ur enjoying it if you got into it definitely a mod worthy of ppls time
The latest update of this mod took away infinite summons and nerfed their health. Only the bigger summons are worth it right now
It would be interesting if they added a necro spell that converted souls to be able to recast. Like 1000 for starter summons, 10k to 20k for higher level summons, or you had the ability to spend souls to heal your summons for less than that. Like 100 souls for 400 hp or something like that.
The music the commentary and the gameplay is perfect fit.

Love your channel man one of the best TH-camrs I know of keep up the amazing work your episodes is something I look forward to seeing Everytime
I like how you died on the elevator just as you activated it
@4:00 STR is calling: "Come back! Come back! To FUGS we will take you."
I went with a druid, and even those summons are ehhh., but when you throw out one of the big crystal llizards or the big swapy bois. They get by.
Watching ur lp made me wanna try the convergence again but I’m trying a lost soul class and not adding hp it hasn’t been fun to say the least so far 12 hrs in and on the 4th boss but is passing time till elden ring ❤️
Giant crab summon is a monster summon. Saved Prod’s ass a few times.🤣 Don’t forget you got watchdog of fire link souls to eat!
Lmao amazing video, i love how aggressive they made the enemies
I told CB I wasn't playing this time around 😤
Loving this so far!!

Not sure if you found it already, but there is a new item up top the tower.
Don't backseat.

Cowboy: I already know DarkSouls inside n out
Cowboy: "kips dying on the same place" 🤷🏻♂️
Lol even if you know DS inside n out, theres lots of RNG taking place.

Damn those hollows do not mess around lol
This is fantastic!
I really wish consoles could have these type of mods. Replayability would go WAY up.

Your playing Dark souls 3 I think I'm gonna cry...
2 a day would be awesome i loved this mod
That death at 21 min was silly lol
Coming back after the release of elden ring dlc and awaiting elden ring convergence to update
How are you liking this mod? Any plans on trying the other types of spells or doing more runs when there's a gaming dry spell?
I went with light magic and if I'm being honest Its not that epic but this and blood magic seem pretty wicked
I'm starting to regret my Necromancer pick, should have gone with the Blood Knight. Maybe the class gets better as you level up.
It does, according to couch jockey(mod creator himself) "Necromancer isn't the best class for beginners as it is a tad underwhelming early game, but gets better if you know how to use it but as long as you're having fun it's alright"

4. Also since Necromancy scales to Faith you could use the other faith spells too, such as regular miracles which do lightning damage and holy miracles that do physical
Provided you get a good lightning/physical Talisman/chime for option 4 that is
This is a pretty insane mod
CB: First 4k run
Me with video set to 720p: lol....
Yeah, my TH-cam never does better than that. It just buffers forever.
I used the druid.. Dope summons
Lol it was like fuck this I'm going for the master lol 😅😭🤣
The mod does have fully working bb trick weapons
the dark wraith summon donno if the AI still broken

I just got DS3 for Xbox, a little late to the party. Game any good? Loved Sekiro
The base game is real good, you'll enjoy it.
Dark souls 3 is amazing and so is the dlc
@@joecadec4101 Yes the DLC is awesome, by base game I meant without mods lol. I should have been more clear.
I picked pyromancer and I’m not impressed by the spells lol 😅
Can anyone let me know if this mod work on ps5/ps4 might wanna download this mod look interesting
u always leave things behind in th corners !
When is the convergence 100% guide?? This shit is hard
He's gotta play it all the way through first lmao
I know when not long ago if you used the green crystal to unsummon before they died and then resummon them they'd have full hp again, idk if that's still true but worth a try
So can I play this mod on a laptop or is that a no?
Wow this mod looks amazing. I think it's time for me to switch to the PC. You just do not get the same experience from the Consoles. So much more to do on PC. I really want to play this mod.
the levels are exactly the same routes it seems i thought they were supposed to be a lil diff
I know you can summon help but damn this seems way harder than the base game lol
The skeleton walks right by enemies as if he just was invited into their homes
prob memory leak? i think some part of the video are desync as well
The video should be fine, the game itself is hanging up.
Man wish i was a pc player, looks a lot of fun. Sadly i am on xbox aka console plebs.
Love the Power Rangers Title!
do you get much from the epic creator code?
It's usually 5% when someone buys a game
i didnt think there was a way to make a class like Necromancer bland but- here we are.
That was hard to watch :) Maybe roll a Paladin
Dunno if you'll see this or not, but I thought you should know that my two cats are nicknamed Big Chungus and Lil Chungus because of you. :P
You play dark souls enough times you know running don't pay
Remnants from the Souls 🤔🤔
CB: Big Chungus making me sweat here
Me: wait until you see what i have set up next 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
I think it would be sweet if you can summon miniature versions of the bosses and lastly this is gonna be of topic but i wonder if cowboy has thought about doing a small livestream of brilliant diamond or shining pearl or that though never even crossed his mind 🤔
As a console player... I would pay 15 to play this...
Downloaded this and still only have the regular game
Definitely less rage in regular game this is easy mode but looks so fun to.
Does the summon get their health back if you unsummon and recast? Rather than just recasting.
Bro you missed a chest at the starting area when you killed that big demon titanite lizard.
Try breaking all the crystal on the right side
Don't backseat
