I just did the jumping lion. Fight was okay but the area was a bit disappointing. Only a couple knight enemies were interesting. The rest were just some dumb flies and birds and ghosts. It was total garbage compared to stormveil and not really even as good as castle mourne. Oh and the same extra not really a boss in the basement as stormveil. And again this added fight was tougher than the main boss.

Wait what? Are you talking about the Gaol with the jars that's technically physically under that area? I was pretty sure I explored that entire area but I do not recall a second boss beyond just the chinese lion dude.

on one of the rooftops with the birds near the patrolling knight dude there is a little corner you fall into and there is a sewer key. I found it by accident, panic rolled off the building thought I was dead but there is a ledge there. You climb down the long ladder right passed the first site of grace to get to the sewer.

LMAO I fucking love that this DLC has made Asmon cry about how "hard" it is and the fact that words from chat hurt his wittle feelers. Even going so far as to say he isn't going to play video games much on stream anymore.

Elden Ring just keeps getting better and better!

Jesus, man that video was hard to watch, someone baring their soul about their mental shortcomings in front of the world. It's super cold blooded to laugh about a guy saying he doesn't feel like he can ever take any time off to recover, so many people depending on him, he doesn't ever feel like he can be anything but top notch on stream otherwise rabid "fans" will give him an unending raft of shit about it and tell him how much he sucks. He lives like an OCD hermit and while he's made himself a success at it, I can't see how anyone would be super envious of his circumstances.

Maybe some self reflection is in order.

Yeah I don't quite get what the allure of watching his stuff is. He's just a weirdo. Might be most of us are weird to some degree, but I don't know, I just don't understand the whole streaming, Twitch deal. People will just sit and pay them randomly whenever / whatever when playing a game or commenting on something.

It's like a faggy version of a strip club, but even gayer because you're just sitting there giving money to some dipshit playing a video game. I don't know maybe there's a lot of gay people out there, after all it's not like Hollywood hasn't told me every other person is a fag or a tranny.

Why on Earth would you give any of these streamers money . Couldn't you just buy another video game and go have fun with it? It's insane.

There are people who don't want to play games, I guess but would rather watch people play the games instead? I mean, I watch gameplay if I want to see what a game is like, or to see how something is done/a particular section is completed/what a raid is like/etc but there are apparently people who would rather Doordash/Twitch a game rather than play it themselves, it seems.

That being said, Asmon's talking about not wanting to figure out a game like DS1 or Shadow of the Erdtree live and on stream reveals a side of how difficult that life must be.

Yeah, just a fucked up world where somebody like him can probably make more money than most of us are capable of on an annual basis being a complete and utter dipshit. Yeah some of his videos are kind of entertaining or funny, but just to sit there for hours watching his live stream, and then throwing in dollars like he was showing his titties, it's just insane.

I don't know I just don't understand it but maybe it's because we're to old and normal type people, but perhaps we're no longer than normal ones in the grand scheme of things, and people that question this type of stuff are now the weirdos...

Yeah, the guy who is always reacting to content on stream and lecturing about how males need to get their shit together. How you need to stop being a loser and just "figure out your shit". Set goals and work hard to realize them etc.?

I guess he'll just have to take his multi-millions and play video games off-stream the rest of his life. Darn.

Or... be a little bitch and whine about a video game being too hard. All of this because people made fun of you in chat. And he has the gall to lecture men about being "losers". Fuck off. YGWYFD.

Tough choices. I really don't envy the horrible life of a "hermit" he has to live. What misery...

I dunno, at least what he does takes some sort of skill. A girl showing her tits is doing what exactly? Not that I would ever give the dude any money, and have dropped plenty of cash on girls who's name I'll never remember. But what he's doing is no different than dudes putting a ball through a hoop. And people pay to watch that bullshit.

I cleared out a couple mini dungeons, very easy stuff. Killed a bone dragon too, he's an asshole that can 1 or 2 shot you at will. I can't believe this DLC drops so much trash loot. Like why smithing stone 1 and 2 on a place you have to beat Mogh to get into? Itemization seems absolutely retarded.

it really must hurt his ego when a fucking pornstar is better in games than he



On a sidenote I'd probably marry Adriana "I-have-taken-1000-dicks-in-the-ass-and-drank-gallons-of-cum" Chechik if an opportunity arose

How do you know she's even really playing and isn't just paying some 15yo to make it look like she is?

Lol I watched a couple videos from that link. People are really bitching about the black gaol knight? Takers flames pins him on his ass and kills him without taking a scratch. Just buff up dmg, golden vow, flame grant me strength, stack talismans. He's dead in seconds. Granted I am gonna have to respec to beat that wicker man.

Asmongold generally has very good takes on whatever the internet is talking about today, particularily the psychology of people. I watch his YouTube clips.

The only time I ever watched a stream was when Pewdiepie did it and I was working from home. It's like having a friend talk to you while working. Usually I find a long YouTube video if I'm grinding in a game for similar effect.

I don't really get people watching others play games when you can just play it yourself, but sports is the exact same thing. So it's a bit of a boomer take to watch sports commentary yourself then critise games commentary. Maybe you are like me and dislike both though.

LMAO, he's talking about responsibilities and obligations getting "more and more" as he gets older. The guy watches Youtube and comments on what he is watching. What a tremendous amount of stress he has to endure. God damn what a weird world we live in where people can't handle the stress of SITTING ON ASS DOING NOTHING.

I always thought these streamers were degenerate shitheads, but this takes the cake. The guy gets paid to do nothing all day, and he can't handle the stress of it.

He's taken time off before. So it sounds like he is just whining this time. Dude is definitely taking the hard path realizing that being an actual adult is dealing with tons of responsibilities you wish you didn't have. But you do so you keep on trucking.

I do partially get it. Asmon was a total loser who failed at everything. He was working in the Hot Dog stand at Costco even in like 2014. The best regular person job he ever had was a seasonal tax worker at the IRS. Living with his mom the entire time and playing WOW all day. Somehow, beyond all reason he became a multimillionaire twitch streamer retard. But he literally never left mom's basement and lives there to this day. Now he owns a company, with staff and revenue who are dependent on him being "Asmongold" and streaming well consistently.

Watching him die to the Madness eyeball thing a million times was LOL. Those remind me of the things from Bloodborne. Like a combination of the madness monsters in Nightmare and the brainsuckers.

Whats a good build to be able to have a somewhat easy time doing the normal game? I think my first playthrough was Samurai and using the Magic Katanas or whatever it was, cant even remember.

I'm thinking of doing a magic build but it seems Bloodhound Fang might be an OP weapon early on?

I suggest the Reduvia bleed dagger and another dagger on offhand, you get one in Limgrave right at the start from an invader near the lake with the dragon.

Now I actually used a katana from killing the friendly npc near that location...

However I'm crushing the DLC with Backhand Blades which are daggers and obtained right at the start of the DLC. They have a built in dodge which helps especially vs invaders and humanoid bosses.

So it's natural to learn a dagger build early and upgrade when you hit DLC.
