59:24 the taunt from Blackgaol was hilarious 😂
You can't tell me that wasn't a taunt xD
Ghosts don't bleed folks! Try other status affects, or holy / lightning
You know, for someone who says he hates edgelord characters, Max probably has the edgiest Elden Ring character of any content creator I’ve seen
lmao you’re so right
Max definitely don’t hate edgelord characters; he’s always drawn towards them in every game he plays lol
Never heard him say he hates them, and I have to assume if he did it was in a typical Max deadpan sarcastic way where he states the opposite of the obvious. But if he was serious, he’s definitely in denial lol
and yet he really isnt xD if i see anyone wearing his kind of equipment and playstyle in PVP, im just like "Sigh...another one? kay" xD
He loves Noob Saibot and Spawn in MK. Loves Vincent Valentine and Cloud Strife in FF. He also mains Nightmare in Soul Calibur, mains Reaper in Overwatch, yea, the guy loves his edgy characters.
It's just when the edginess goes too far he can't stomach it, such as DmC Donte
The instance that I thought of when writing this was talking about Devil Jin, which is a pretty extreme case, I’ll admit. But I’d also argue the whole black and red vibe, with double bloody twinblades is dangerously close to DVJ territory
I just realized the kick and shoulder check from those big normal enemies are from Champion Gundyr. You love to see his moves back, one of the goats.
@22:00 Official boss entry for "Welcome to the DLC time to gitgud"
And he doesn't beat it until around 1:10:00 😂
Jumping into this is like playing elden ring on release again. The same endless joy just being there, the absolute wonder and amazement at absolutely everything there is. Everyone just happy
the scale of the dlc is so intimidating aswell. man i love fromsoft dlc, definately one of the top with the bloodborne dlc.
and just like the base game back then, people complaining how hard, overtuned and unbalance the game is. lol
@@marlow21 idk if it's just me, but getting killed in new ways, by new enemies with new weapons, I can't help but smile 😂
@@marlow21I love and embrace the difficulty, but the performance issues on PC is upsetting, happened on initial release of the main game as well. Constant micro-stuttering...
@@ocean_0602 Depends on your hardware it seems, and it's not a thing like "best CGs have no problem", it seems pretty random. I have very few stuttering with my 3080, I have a friend on a 4080 where it's just ass. FS are beasts in terms of everything except technical stuff
Max almost had the Dancing Lion on his third try but then proceeded to get cooked for a good minute
Lol same thing happened to me. I got it down to 20% on my first try, and suffered for the next hour or so.
This literally happened to me too I hated it oh well he's dead now
Damn thing had 1 HP and got me...
That dancing lion is a bitch even when you spam it from afar lol.
That's always how it go's
Blackgaol Knight is the DLCs bouncer.
Hell yeah! Also Blackgaol knight for anyone wondering seems to have player Poise matching the armour/moveset. People who don't use UGS seem painfully unaware that you get hyper armour during a swing. So a lot of light weapon users are running into him and finding he is a bit of a brick wall because you can't stun him out of his attacks. This is why I'm unga bunga for life.
Also, idk if they changed it, but i was able to bleed him, max did not get a single bleed
@@bjmm6142 Yeah I noticed that. That was wild. I watched Afro Senju's run and he got a bleed off. Not sure what happened with that.
@@facelesshalo5174 thinking about it i realized its prolly because that twinblade has a locked like 50 buildup mine has like 105, idk why weapons that originally have bleed end up having less build up than weapons you apply it on once you upgrade them
As a filthy great shield enjoyer this guy was no problem for me.
@bjmm6142 spirit bosses don't have blood, that's why you can't get a bleed
This lion is like the Elden Ring version of the Avatar with all these elements he controls
I've watched 3 streamers start this DLC and I've played about 25 hours myself, and I'm convinced that there's like 7 different versions of this DLC with how different everyone's experiences are. Every person I've watched has found bosses and locations I didn't even know existed in the first 30 mins.
i'm wondering how max's blackgaol knight didn't have fire crossbow shots but mine did? Is it different on that level? This game is a masterpiece if so. and a masterpiece if not haha
So basically it's Elden Ring again.
@@ssholygokuit did at 25:45
@@ssholygokuhe uses fire arrows against Max many times. What you mean?
@@ssholygoku He can use either at any given point.
I've had fights with him where he started with fire bolts, then did normal ones, and vice versa. Seems to be RNG.
Ahhh, yes, here we are again. My favorite quote from Max when he's getting his ass kicked by a boss ".....okay......" lol
Looking real *CRISP* in these 4K Max
2:17:04 really glad you didn’t end up killing him here cause the real hype of this fight is him constantly changing elements and forms rapidly, probably one of my favorite fights in the whole game
Love how the first boss Max runs to is the perfect antithesis to his build lol.
I hope he sticks with his set-up, im running a two handed str build and am enjoying the difference in experiences
I'm running the same as you, it's been fun but some stuff makes me wish i was more nimble and fast haha. Best of luck tarnished!
He doesn't, he swaps out to a claw build.
I feel so validated that max brought up the camera for the dancing lion, it IS half the battle, i stuggled on this dude for 4 hours
He became easier when I didn't use target lock for certain combos.
After my first two disastrous attempts, I immediately jumped back to "no lock-on". Solved it in 6-10 tries, 20min maybe?
Camera was an issue. But also you evade his attacks more easily when you can move freely!
Every time he did the one attack where he just stands and spins like 3 times spitting my camera would freak out when I was close.
Other than that though I had no problems
I had the same issue, I beat him in less tries then rellana but while that fight was fun for me the lion was irritating cause of the camera jank.
Simply get good
I love this game so frickin much. And half of it is seeing guys like Max struggle on bosses I spent 5 minuitnes on, just to turn around a one go a boss I spent 5 hours on 😂
So true. The From Soft experience. Suffering for all, just different for everyone.
Been waiting for this one chief 😍
Fuck yeah! I was waiting for max to play the dlc! I finished the base game playlist! Take me away Maximum MAX!
Max is so innocent going through the game and thought it will be too easy. How cute.
Hello Max love watching your game plays and while I watch going to eat spaghetti I see a lot of people play this game it looks awesome good luck beating the game😊
7:22 this tree screaming Berserk!
29:51 when max forgot they have estes too.😂
Hell yea! Hope you enjoyed it as much as me. I'm almost done with it. Just exploring abit more to make sure I haven't missed anything.
Yeah the very first enemy was the blade dancer for me as well. I was like oh ok, what a first impression. lol
Those upgrades they put in help so much so try to find as many as possible and EXPLORE this dlc cause it’s massive
I really love watching dancing lion when i was a kid, and god damn never think they could be badass video game boss (because they are good deity) someone in fromsoft really has a wild idea
1:21:46 ... Man do I love me some Max playing souls.
If you haven't figured it out by now, you have to upgrade with the scadutree blessings to upgrade within the DLC. Its definitely makes a difference. Rellana and the dancing lion are much tougher then the gaol knight in the masoleum.
I can't wait for part 2 where he spent 4 hours trying to defeat Rellana XD
Bro I can't even lie... she's the first boss in the entire game that made me re-spec twice just to beat her 😂😂😂
It's because he, like most players, are neglecting scadatree blessings. I went at this boss once I was at around level 6-8, base level 150, and the boss was nowhere near as tanky nor hard hitting. Still tough, but those blessings help out a lot.
Had lv 5, still needed the npc summon and ash and the one blade that deals deadly poison because I swear she’s immune to like every else.
Relanna is easy he won't take long to beat her
She's tougher than Malenia... If you're encountering her early without those silly blessings gimmick... She's ridiculous, she makes Malenia looking slow like a slug. But that riding skeleton bastard is even worser, much, much, much worser. The poor camera can't even keeping up with the mostly bosses I has encountered this far. The hippo is a nightmare, but funny enough I defeated the famous dancing lion boss on first try with just 4 heals.
22:00
Ah..lore accurate guts
There it is! Let's go!
The Shadow of the Erdtree is real!!!
LOL to see Max like this on bosses is funny. This game makes people so angry sometimes. The Rage is real! = ) The patience in this game is on another level.
That Eghhe on 20:50 was great
I’m finally glad it’s on RUclips because I couldn’t watch the livestream on the twitch app on PS5 for some weird reason.
It's maybe because he's streaming in 4k and the Twitch PS5 app is not updated. I had the same problem as well.
Lol are you the guy who said that in the chat? That's a funny coincidence if so.
@@SolProxy No that wasn’t me 😂 but I’m glad someone else mentioned it.
@@AstaIsAMonster Okay 😂 Yeah there was a guy at the beginning of the DLC who said he can't watch it on his PS5.
5:43 shared braincell moment.
39:00 1 arrow? My guy he emptied a whole ass quiver into your sternum at a range of about 3 inches lol
If you look closely the damage came all at once, it really was one arrow. I believe he got shot in the head and it counted as a critical
@@aeriagloris4211 trust me, I did that fight like 17 times, the knight only fires volleys, he doesn't fire bolts in any other way, tha animation showed the knight recoiling from many bolts not one, and if max took damage from one bolt only he would've survived
Literally in the series of fights he fires a single bolt at max@9xDaysxTillxNothing
Had to pull out the bloodhounds fang on the Blackgaol knight, dude is insane
Holding out for the Str / Faith weapon at the end makes a lot of sense. You gotta have faith...
Am curretnly doing the carlton dance im so excited for this
Sucks I missed the stream because twitch wouldn’t work on console, but here we are!
i kinda respect they still just say 'yeah fuck it, camera's gonna screw you deal with it.'
Ascetic on the arch: Parkour! Ambush! lol
My goat
Fuck MAX the quality of this recording 👏
I did this with the colossal greatsword, heavy infused with Savage Lions Claw Ash of War.
The flip actually helps you avoid some of its attack and you can do a second flip after it, it was a clumsy fight because the camera is ass in this fight.
You control the camera dood
@@Xirbttno, the camera controls you.
I knew the Blade of Mercy sounded familiar lol i was like wait i know this means something 😂
This is low key better than some of walkthroughs.
FINALLLYYYYYYY
I’m so happy you fought so long against Blackgaol knight. I heard all about him, and was wondering why I STILL haven’t found him. It’s because I already have, I just saw a boss door and said hell no! and ran the other way on Day 1.
The Death at 1:04:45
Straight pimp-walk into execution!☠ The ghost of Guts is an absolute menace & i love it!!😄👌🏽
Only half hour in and the boss grind begins, this is going to be good
6:07 +1000 cool points for the soul calibur reference
15:00 mohg tear? I’ve beaten this boss 3 times and never heard of this lol. I just always made sure to have max healing items and used 3 during the blood phase
Have you beaten Eleanora during Yura’s questline? Because that’s where you get it.
That Gaol Knight fight was painful to watch lol
Normal Person: "Maybe if I come back later, I'll have found a sledge hammer to knock down this wall."
Max: "Maybe if I keep headbutting this wall, the blood will lubricate it enough that it'll just slide out of the way."
The hardest part of the dancing lion for me was the camera spazzing out. Once I stopped locking on, it was a lot easier
Went straight for glackgaol knight myself too and was giving me the same trouble but than changed to my maxed out starscourge greatsword and got him on third try. That greatsword attacks and skill was just tossing him around.
Very very often the best strategy is to switch weapons
Remember to fight bosses with all volumen at 5 or 7 and music at max volume
I was using the Wolf greatsword that has the special ice attack and kept knocking Blackgaol down so i just combo him, He never got to do anything.
Blackjail knight: king of cardio
Part 1 should have been called:fighting the FromSoft Camera!
12:30 my first play through was strength /intelligence 😂
I got my dark moon blade before I even went to the atlus plateau. Wasn't easy. But that's what I did through the rest of the game. 250 hours I think on my first play through.
Can't wait to see Max find the top of jagged peak. There's some crazy stuff up there.
"What happens when you attack these guys?"
The pinnacle of "Fuck around and find out" hahaha XD
What level are people getting to and still finding coop? Is 150 like the cutoff ive seen somewhere. Also it's so great to see Max enjoying himself and trying to learn patterns after watching Asmon stream this and malf at his chat cause just Jump attacks didn't work on every boss
Holy moly, every streamer is using the dual-blades. Insane.
1:21:53
Max: I wonder if it's gonna hit me...
Furnace Golem kicks enough molten fire to cover half the screen leaving max in shock
Max: Time to go!
Thank you so much bro
evidently an scorpion
max: no more spider chances
9:27 Now I really wanna know what Danny said or did.
I wish Max didnt go straight for the castle. There is a cave that I really want to see his reaction to.
It's such a hard balance! Wanting to play the DLC whilst also watching Max play it! Lol.
I KNOW RIGHT???
We back boys!!!
idk if its just me but ive tried a couple of the bosses with and without the npc summons and i feel like they are significantly easier without them. Idk how the mechanics of that work specifically but I beat both Dancing Lion and Rellana only a few tries after i stopped using the summons.
This DLC has references to all the Soulsborne games around every corner, and most of the time they're subtle enough that you just get this uncanny feeling of "wait a minute, this seems familiar".
59:26 and he tea bagged you after death!...Tsk Tsk Tsk
I love that bleed builds suck against the ghost boss haha I had to learn how to parry him. He is easy when you figure out the timing
That wasn’t the first time he did that attack to Max lol. I have been watching that attack. He was too focused to notice he’s been dodging the follow well up until it finally got him. First time i miss timed that follow up. I remember the damage it put out. Same with running out of stamina and suffering a visceral. One shot me from full health. Watched my stamina hard from there lol.
29:50 caught me off guard 😂😂
It begins.. good luck tarnished
Love that the 1st Gaol boss can be a challenge for certain builds, and a pushover for others. Watched someone else guard counter him to death like it was nothing and win in 2 tries.
I didn’t think he was too bad but I had some scadu tree shards built up and used moonveil/cold katana I tried wing of astel and cold mantis blade and had him down to 1 hit and died but switch to the katanas and got him next try with max the twinblade usually staggers but not senor poiseman
@sfcSpidey The game has 100+ weapons and so many lemmings just abuse moonveil.
I'm a strenght build and I parried him into oblivion on the first try. It really is different for everybody, depending on your build. Meanwhile, other bosses are tough as nails for a strenght character like mine.
The first guy reminded me of the dancer class from ff14 lol
Your weapon choice/build made that first knight miniboss sooooo much harder than he needed to be. I beat him second try with my strength build using Rotten Staff. Also you may have been hindering yourself sticking to dual wielding. Two handing for most weapons does more poise damage to inerrup their combos. I'm not sure though in your case since I haven't used the weapons you had equipped very much.
Two-Handing also does more stagger damage
I did the same thing against the lion dancer. It was a pixel away from death on second try and I died. Then had to make a few more passes. Great boss and dungeon
Personally, I thought the fight was way too chaotic
Max have the fashion souls dna all over his character and iiii love it 😂
When people say " this is a 50 hour dlc" Well 30 hours of that is fighting bosses a hundred times each.
It's been 9 hrs for me trying to kill the Divine Dancing Lion, and i haven't beaten him yet
jumping to this first is just a "WHO ARE YOU?" when I see that NPC with no context, guess I have to check out the streams then.
22:04 Oh My God
22:06 you died
Greetings legend
Why was the BlackGaol Knight different for me? (Also was playing on PC) But the room was not the bright, I had to have my lantern on, also why was he firing normal arrows at you? He fired flaming arrows at me?
Your monitor/game probably has too low brightness and he can fire both fire and standard arrows from the crossbow
@@duwanglover3424 I see that he does both types of arrows, though against me in the 30+ attempts he never once used regular arrows on me lol. And the brightness idk, cause everywhere else my game looks the same as Max.
I used the bloody helice and its ash of war made this fight simple. I would dodge using the ash of war and punish.
The blackgaol night had my number. So much so I just decided I’m gonna parry his butt the whole time
Not sure if my opinion will matter but on PS5 twitch, when loading the vod or stream when you was playing it didn't show anything so thankyou for the fast upload so could watch❤
Max on that Miyazaki difficulty.
51:15 I felt that
Blackgaol Knight weakness is literally jump attacks stuns him every time otherwise he has super armour
Not true.
Bro, use your Mimic Tear. The game is made with it in mind
Finished the dlc yesterday so making the rounds to watch other peoples playthroughs.
