Snake Man theme from mega man 3, nice touch

just to mention mechanics that weren't found out about for the longest time: in smash bros melee: invisible cielings (though its always seen but not looked into until it ruined a set in tournament) and v-canceling (both mechanics being usable, but v-canceling much more niche and im not exactly sure how they even found it out)

I’m still genuinely baffled that people didn’t know this.

Yup, everytime I get into a discussion on pvp in souls games I always feel like a more thoughtout cooldown timer so you just don't get repeatedly screwed over would make it feel all the less frustrating. Like right now me and my mate replaying ER for a wee bit while waiting for the DLC have been invaded practically every 5 minutes just going from spot to spot in the open world and it's always by people twinking their eyes out.

I actually did miss grigs on my first run. I didnt get close enough to his door sooo.

I think a good way they could have tweaked the cooldown numbers would have been to front-load the cooldown time increases but keep the Follow-up timers as they are. It would look something like this: LV1 - 15m - 10m LV2 - 20m - 10m LV3 - 25m - 8m LV4 - 30m - 8m LV5 - 30m - 8m LV6 - 30m - 5m.... And so on. The other change I'd consider making is that I'd make it so that instead of dropping you all the way back to the start if the Follow-up timer ran out, I'd make it tick down one level and run the cooldown timer again at the highest level you reached. For example, if I reached LV2 my Follow-up and then dropped to level one, I'd have 10 minutes where if I got invaded it would go back to LV2. However, if the highest level I hit was LV3 and it dropped all the way to LV1, I'd only have 8 minutes to bump it back up to LV2. I don't know if articulated it well enough, but my hope is that it would balance out the faster increase of "safe time" by making it quicker to loose levels then gain them. I think this system would give you bigger gaps between invaders, but not wall them out completely.

I like how anyone can instantly recognize Sen’s Fortress by this walkway alone.

What the helllll is that lizard doin 😂😂😂

18:40: Maybe that was orignally Mytha's boss room? A giant extravagant room that puts her on a pedestal surrounded by candles. It'd fit how vain she is, the covetous demon could also fit in the room before. Both of them would fit in the proto-gutter's presumed lore. Covetous could act as (and even kinda looks like) an abyssal ocean fish, eating the scraps that fall from above. And was a naturally occuring beast that was "tamed" and brought in to act as Misha's guardian while she sits in her acid pool. Misha doesn't seem to mind the nasty stuff so the Gyrm's smell might not be a problem for her, doubly so if the Gyrm were vulnerable enough to be enslaved by her. Man now i'm imagining the tavern full of disgruntled Gyrm, maybe you could chat with the Bartender and he'd ask you to kill Mytha. Even catch a drink with Gavlan lol.

The 2nd of Laurie's buddies looks like Taylor Lautner kinda

あったかふわふわ is such an adorable name

I love how people knowing dlc entrances hasn’t changed since then. People were instantly guessing we would touch miquellas arm to enter the dlc in Elden ring

I agree wholeheartedly with your statement about the taunters tongue. I loved world pvp in ds1, 2 and 3, as an invader and as the invaded. but getting constantly invaded ist just not the same and invading 3 enemies at once in 75% of my invasions sucks as well. i just wish there was an opt in item for a ds style invasion system present, i know there are enough ds "oldtimers" with my exact attitude playing elden ring for it to be worthwhile. oh well, the magnificent sun giveth and it taketh. Nevertheless hyped for the DLC, time to waste some more hours in my favorite game series :>

@illusorywall, I don't how likely it is that you will see this, but I want to say: As I drafted a concept for a Souls-Like I hopefully will one day produce called "Oblitus" (I'm not going to go into detail about it unless asked) I funnily enough came up with an idea that would likely prevent twinking. It is as follows: ----- "As a player upgrades their equipment (weapons and armor), it increases in weight which can have consequences for a player. This overall serves to incentivize players to pace their upgrades until they reach an equip-load where they can reasonably handle it. Said equip-load can be increased by upgrading the stat that governs it, or by raising it with the small increases gained through leveling other stats. Keep in mind, Oblitus’s leveling intends for the player to reach the maximum level by endgame, so it is a system that accounts for all stats being eventually maxed. However, a fortunate side-effect this system can have is preventing players from bringing late-game items to early-game PvP (known as twinking). Or at the very least, bringing maxed equipment as either a maxed weapon or armor piece will encumber players at that point. Though assume that all weapons and armors will be relatively balanced and fair play to use, also acknowledge that using either a maxed weapon or armor piece could leave an “alleged twink” either highly vulnerable to damage or leave them with insignificant damage. " ----- I pulled this out of an ancient 76-page document of mine which is horribly formatted (I need to convert it to something more readable), anyways I just thought you would find this to be an interesting solution to twinks. On a side note, as much as I want to work on Oblitus, I'm going to have to let it collect dust for a long time before I can do anything with it as I have a lot of steps I need to take before I could ever produce it as a game. Think of it as a "magnum opus" project, something you would need a team for, I will persevere though.

Do people not call the ds3 meat Pickle-Pee?

Justice for Gwyndolin it looks terrible 💀

What's the music at 18:20? It sounds *really* familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

I think this is yet another problem with Dark Souls stuff being insanely unapproachable without a wiki. The games are best played when going in completely blind, but things like that god damn LEVEL UP SCREEN, unreasonably hidden areas, Covenants, the convoluted weapon leveling, and this hidden DLC entrance drives new players to the wiki ASAP.

Is there a specific time unit given between these two timelines? "As in it was x years ago"?

I remember staying afk in oolacile just to get gravelorded and have a taste of that red chained prisoner rock and its 50000 damage full havels lol

It took me over 2 years of owning the game to figure this out without looking it up, but I honestly didn't know I was looking for it, I had no prior knowledge of a DLC in DS1, and I was happy to be fresh to the stuff in it

World design is what kept me coming back in From Software's games! ✨ thanks for this amazing upload! 😊❤️

i remember seeing about 15 of these in my first playthru on xbox. probably 2014 or 2015

31:00 the fall to the ABYSS is a fall through a portal, no physical accuracy required here

Yeah there was no name and considering the distinct lack hawks or any references to them, and it's mostly crows/ravens a.k.a blackbirds you see in the games

Eh between the massive amount of new spells to use and the massive influx of players that was going to be immediate and expected with Elden Ring as compared to any prior games, even DS3, it just would have been largely useless even without considering certain aspects - illusory walls are largely non-existent, as the areas are massive, not secular paths, and even dev messages would have been lost in the masses, besides nobody cared about downvoting because it's never mattered. Even troll messages can be funny and obvious, and upvotes give actual benefits (and it's still hit or miss) For reference, there's a spot in Elden Ring, after encountering the hand enemies, where you can find a small hand sitting on the edge of a cliff, like most birds will. The message system allows you to type "Could this be a bird?" which I thought was not only situationally funny, but furthermore more was a well known meme, that being the guy looking at a butterfly saying "Could this be a bird" and it became ridiculously popular, by far my most seen message ever, and while I'm not surprised, I mentioned the sheer numbers of people on ER launch, it got a few hundred upvotes while I was still playing, a few actually helping to heal me in combat. I put the game down for like three months, check my first character again, *30,000* plus upvotes. I could have been someone benefiting from SO MUCH healing while playing, it would have been insane. But I had already stopped playing. I know it will never happen again. The opportunity while many people were still messing about in Limgrave, lower Liurnia or accidentally getting sent to Caelid, few were up around Ranni's towers, the uniquely positioned enemy (there may be a couple more small hands acting like birds, but that first was special) and the relevant wording for a meme reference? Almost completely went to waste. So yeah, while even upvotes are cool, the chances are you won't be relying on them, it's just a neat reward that might help you. Taking the time to downvote people? Much less see how much others are down voted? Even in DS1 I very rarely downvoted anything, so most people probably feel like not a lot has been lost there

I think people underestimate what happens to literally any game that has more than like 10 fans. Stuff gets found out within like 6 hours no matter what. It was 2012, not 1997. Only REALLY obscure stuff takes a long to find.

Funnily enough, I discovered the hidden message while playing on my old xbox 360 during the pandemic! 2021, and I was replaying an old save file with a high level character, just exploring the levels because at that point I was in NG+3 and had no motivation to fight any enemies. I then found that path near Pinwheel, and for some reason, thought it would be funny to use seek guidance, seeing that there were a bunch of lights sprawled on the floor of Tomb of Giants. I used it, and lo and behold, it was there. I rewatched the video and had a bit of nostalgia, when I first watched this video I thought everyone knew about this message nearby Pinwheel! Was even confused when you said "And that's all of the hidden messages".

While I do think this is stupid and convoluted for no reason, there is this odd... charm about hiding the DLC to this extent. It really makes it feel like there are even more secrets hidden in the game. But for real tho: This is terrible design. If you'd want to do something similar to this, you should just add little bit more into item descriptions and dialogue to get you directed to at least the right area.

If I remember correctly the steps for accesing the dlc content were written on the Playstation store description...

honestly? all they had to do was make the agape ring available from the beginning of the game, and make it so you still obtain souls from pvp regardless

That's what that chest is for???

I just found the entrance on the wiki.

Still a super interesting video! Maybe the Devs choose a shorter time for seek guidance, so that players had to recast it more often for Miracle Resonance?

17:01 When the coom too stronc

15:24 Bird back in the NEST! Come on, that's the easier pun you could've gone for.

One thing ive always wondered was if the DLCs were supposed to be the endgame of the vanilla releases but got chopped because of the publisher. Ds1, 3, and BBs stories and game length really get rounded out by them

This is pretty off-topic but the design of the crystal lizards from Demon Souls reminded me that in some dragon myth the reason why dragons seek and hoard treasure is for protection, as gold and gems dig in between their scales and gives them more armor

I never thought about this but it makes me appreciate the game so much more. It makes you feel like you're experiencing the world as the characters are/have

I thought her name was pickle pea the crow

It's still convoluted and just awful. If someone's just playing through the game, almost no one is going to find it without help or a guide. Paid DLC shouldn't require intstructions outside of the game to even access it. I love Dark Souls and think it's the best Souls game, but that doesn't make this awful way of doing DLC any better.

Had no clue it showed Walls in DS2 very cool.

i really don't get why they never gave us an update that just lets us change the ost back to the original. Also seeing this side by side just points out so much just how obnoxious all the grunting and heavy breathing sounds are, and just how much additional noise everything makes, and how much this takes away from the atmosphere. This has some major "Dragonball Z faulchoner just can't shut up and let the scene breathe" energy. But i also don't remember it being this obnoxious when i played it, so i guess it's also just the side by side that makes it more obvious. Unless it doesn't happen as much in soul form, cause i usually stay dead in order to not mess up world tendencies.

i always thought he looked a little weird, but didn't pay any mind

Man seeing this side by side makes me even more annoyed that the original version isn't playable on PS5- It would've been so cool if Bluepoint included the original version as a unlockable like the MediEvil remake does. But then again that would mean they would've needed to figure out PS3 emulation, and Sony don't bother with that because they rather get ppl to pay for the priviledge of streaming PS3 games. And they don't even let you stream Demons Souls.

I can't remember how often i died because of a accidental gesture.

I wonder if thats still in the remake, since this seems to be a very unknown mechanic- But also some very unforgetable knowledge, guess whos gonna make sure to kick 10 corpses into the bossroom from now on.

Imagine being the guy who made those boss battles, and then the director is like "Great job! We're gonna make it almost impossible for anyone to see those."

Love your videos. Makes me want to relive DS2 dlc releases !!

Ha nope. I always prefer to do the first playthrough solo so I can take my time and think about the world. So I fully support the ER style.
