It's how Dark Souls gets its claws into you. First, you get lost and confused, then you come back and learn and see you're playing better, and it's too late. The serotonin is already pumping into your brain.
@@notasuspiciousperson354 That was my experience. I'm not that good at Souls games, so I rely on summons, magic, farming levels, and cheese tactics. So when I tried Sekiro a couple years ago, I quickly saw how bad I was and I dropped it. Flashforward to a month ago, I wanted to calm my hype for Elden Ring DLC with something similar, so I reinstaled Sekiro. I was still bad at the game, but I was determined to go as far as I could. I reached Lady Butterfly and died like 10 times. And then... something clicked. I started to see the attacks like in a rythm game, and I simply got gud with the parrys. The moment I killed Genichiro in only 2 tries was when I realized that I was prepared to beat anything the game could throw at me. So anyways, now Sekiro is in my top 3 souls games of all time. A masterpiece. The moment I beat the Elden Ring DLC I will go back to Sekiro to get all the achivements.
"when you play it in a way that makes sense, it's a lot more satisfying" so glad she gave it another chance after her and gura's nonsensical speedrun nightmare lol. let's see how goomba's run goes. also, missing the classic *rolls off roof during gargoyle fight* moment, as well as her *accidently dodging the opening attack and slicing off their tail as punishment* moment.
Man hearing that, I missed Suzuhara Lulu's "Konlulu~"....... she's still my top favourite VTuber in terms of design and her voice (although I do subscribe to her newer self I do very missed her old self but glad that she's out from Nijisanji)
that character creation moment make me spit my tea on my monitor (again), startled my cats in which surprised my mom and she dropped the tray full of drinks. i'm not even mad, it is amazing timing
you are SO reliable for these long fauna clips!! I don't always have time to watch the full vod but you always find a way to condense them down with all the best parts!!
Here it is. A lot of people predicted this when Fauna and Gura did their Dark Souls race. Gura and Fauna will eventually become souls enjoyers. That initial struggle on their first time playing is the right amount of frustration, enough to want to go back and win the goddamn videogame. It happened to to all of us.
I genuinely hated even imagining myself playing anything related to Fromsoftware. I tried DSR once and now I even finished Elden Ring DLC within a few days 🤦♂️. Only thing I haven't really played are the playstation exclusives.
@@zubleo8590 Its such a crime Bloodborne is trapped on Playstation. That game unlocked the whole series for me, the dodgy aggression that Bloodborne naturally wants from you made me go back to DS1 with a less defensive mindset and actually finish it after dropping it years before. And on top of that its just the coolest, most visually interesting world in the series imo.
@@Aktomik Yeah the only reason I haven't played Bloodborne... As much as I love the series, I'm not gonna get a whole ps5 for one game lol. Just praying it'll come on PC one day
The most impressive thing to me isn't that she managed to get past Gargoyles in a single stream (even though that is pretty impressive), but that she managed to take out the Titanite Demon. I still struggle with those guys lol
My head canon is that those things learn your moves, every time I have to fight one of those it feels tougher than the last, even across playthroughs... yet my first one was so easy I was surprised it was an (almost) irrespawnable elite enemy
Hey thats me! It also helps when you start from DS1 like Fauna is doing because the other Souls games gradually introduce more QoL improvements. So they only get better and better.
FINALLYA, Fauna is actually starting to play a Dark Souls. Yay. :D Here's to future, when Fauna will be a parry master in the Shadow of Erd Tree DLC, going "UUUUUUU, Miquella~." LOL. x3
Fauna returns to Dark Souls managing more in one stream then I have in 30+ hours. That dismembered trident wielding thing can be a real pain. Props to Fauna for actually killing it.
Green lady understanding Dark Souls fires the same neurons for me as a certain bald man's last stream when he said he gets Honkai Star Rail and gacha games.
Reminds me of the first time I dived into Dark Souls... I was trash. If Fauna plays more and keeps practicing the parry timing and such I can see her really enjoying the series.
I can see a disgusting amount of Dark Souls streams in the future from her and Gura, I couldn't be any happier. Side note: I wish someone in Hololive would finally do NG+ of a souls game (at least from what I know, no one has done so).
i enjoy souls genre a lot because the danger of exploration is so much more potent than i expect in other genres ive really enjoyed mortal shell and The Surge 1&2 as well as Darksouls 2 & 3 i would like to play bloodborne but alas sony despises gamers
Fauna dying multiple times to the basic enemy flail attack will always be hilarious 😂 EVERYONE underestimates the basic trash mob's threat level until they bust out the flailing multi-slash. Apparently, that attack is the deadliest one in all Dark Souls games, according to fan research based on player data statistics.
Especially that flail attack on torch hollows. You turn your back on a torch hollow just because it's a torch hollow, and you're gonna regret it. That one outside the Depths bonfire will make sure you pay attention to him every time you leave the bonfire room.
Based on last time. I think Fauna wants to be the flippy high stamina dex player. At which case, I encourage her to go parry build instead of dodge. But thats the thing with souls. You can plan. But the relevant weapon you want might be all the way in Lordran or something and before then you're just suffering.
I swear, Fromsoft's character creation thing is their hardest boss, you fail once its all fucking over, you cant even undo it, cause fixing your character's face could just possible make it worse
She seemed fine with the help during stream, but yeah, some of the suggestions were questionable. She did say eventually she would want no backseating though.
I was cringing throughout the "try this weapon, no this weapon! buy the rapier! kill the merchant for the uchigatana!" arc where she was struggling to adapt to multiple new weapon movesets, but it worked out in the end once she got used to the uchi and started upgrading it-- that moment when you oneshot a basic enemy with a 2HR1 I think is one of the biggest "clicking" moments of "getting" the joy of Souls And tbh I really hope she does a little bit of research about what the different stats do because chat will be useless for actually communicating any nuance there lmao But all in all despite how apprehensive I was going in that she wouldn't be able to get into it, based kirin proved once again that she "gets it", both how to enjoy a tough, complex game and also how to engage with a backseat-y chat. She's one of the best I've seen in that regard, honestly
@@ThePoltergust5000 Yea that really bothered me when they suggested getting the Uchi when she didn't even have the stats for it, but whatever, she'll eventually get comfortable by herself.
@@ThePoltergust5000 I mean its fine explaining some of the game mechanics which are not obvious or ones that are not even communicted to the player at all. but when chat was like "kill the merchant for uchikatana" I was like bruh
@@johnsven878 oh yea the whole stats thing was more of an aside: I don't think chat trying to explain "how to level up" is backseat-y in a bad way, but I do suspect it would be WILDLY inefficient and unreliable compared to, like... ten minutes of wiki research, ha. It's just too blink-and-you'll-miss-it chaotic of a method of communication
Ladies and Gentlemen, we got her.
After all these years

Bloodborne was my first souls game out of the souls series
Also the Shork has a Dark Souls stream today. Low-key Souls race comtinues
THE DORK SOULS CHALLENGE CONTINUE!!
Oh snap! I almost missed that!
Thanks for the heads-up.
Ah yes, before 'Let Me Solo Her' there's only 'The Legend' himself... 'Giant Dad'.
Large Father
THE LEGEND NEVER DIES
I wasn't expecting to hear "Giant Dad" from Fauna of all people.
I feel like not enough people appreciate 6:41
"I should lock on"
"I should lock IN??!?!?!?!"
She even know the Giant Dad meme build. Truely bass boosted behavior.
Don't let her know that you leveled up DEX...
Me:
Casually walking on the street.
A random lady in front of me going in the same direction:
22:51
It’s so cute how Blue catches every Green stream
Considering they're oshis of one another, it isn't too much of a surprise.
@@vanillaashe9264 "oishis" lol
@@YayaFeiLong damn auto correct
I absolutely love how she accidentally plunge attacked the Taurus Demon just as it was jumping up to the roof.
The Souls arc of Blue & Green [affectionate] is truly a blessing, so thank you for clipping this latest development!
"when you play it in a way that makes sense, it's a lot more satisfying"
so glad she gave it another chance after her and gura's nonsensical speedrun nightmare lol. let's see how goomba's run goes.
also, missing the classic *rolls off roof during gargoyle fight* moment, as well as her *accidently dodging the opening attack and slicing off their tail as punishment* moment.
You guys forget that this is the "Getting Over It" Sensei.
Frustrating games are her specialty. ❤🔥👌
The way her commentary sounds like she's backseating herself is hilarious.
"Just finish him off!"
Man…I dont know what to say…
Everytime i hear her said Konfauna it healed my soul
Latom 🛐
But then the pain is back when konfauna stops 💀
Your Dark Soul? H A
@@BOverlord yes, green woman stream temporarily cleansed your tarnished status
Man hearing that, I missed Suzuhara Lulu's "Konlulu~"....... she's still my top favourite VTuber in terms of design and her voice (although I do subscribe to her newer self I do very missed her old self but glad that she's out from Nijisanji)
This green lady makes me happy
When The Wall fat rolled all over Large Father my Soul was truly Darked
"I'm gonna die but i have a new "puddle""
ahh, the darksouls maxim.
The gameplay loop of Dark souls gets addicting. Glad to see fauna enjoying the game
that character creation moment make me spit my tea on my monitor (again), startled my cats in which surprised my mom and she dropped the tray full of drinks.
i'm not even mad, it is amazing timing
My favorite part is how she made a monstrosity, accidentally reset it, and made a completely different one.
you are SO reliable for these long fauna clips!! I don't always have time to watch the full vod but you always find a way to condense them down with all the best parts!!
Large Father is my favorite dark souls character
How is he related to John Dark Souls?

and now who gonna fill her dark soul with LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT?
I live for Fauna's "Hello hello~"
she sounds like luigi when she says ow
[Resigned sigh]
"It's Luigi time.. "
😂❤
Fauna is green.
Luigi is green.
I haven't seen Luigi and Fauna in the same room.
🤔

Not even them can resist submitting to Fauna the Green
Their attack hitboxes are the worst. The jump attack has BS tracking too.
That's what I thought too. I remember I used a cheap arrows + projectles strategy.
She truly is The Yapping Gamer.
And Hide-Your-Tacos Miyazaki gets another one.
"run, flee from him! but destiny... always arrives".
and the thirst for revenge against dark souls too
"i dont want to kill it its beautiful" she says as she's plunging her knife in its throat
somewhere near the future
Fauna : TOGETHAAA....!!!
someday guys... someday
A gamer that tried dark souls once, said "this is bullshit", put down the game and then came back to it... A story as old as time.
Hey thats me! It also helps when you start from DS1 like Fauna is doing because the other Souls games gradually introduce more QoL improvements. So they only get better and better.
Once you have experienced Souls games, there’s no going back.
26:43 Flashbacks to NL vs DNA Darksouls duels. Good times.
Ah yes, my daily dose of yapping kirin
i mean, i love the anime fighting style since blood borne, but man, i always loved the slow pace of not being in an anime swordfight.
The mysterious power of Dark souls, no sapling was begging her to return, she just couldn't resist the allure of the game
Love making funny or ugly characters on Souls games. I made a Looksmaxxing Squidward on Eldem Ring a few days ago lmao
Man that gargoyle choke and unchoke was so stressful
That thumbnail tho, so sweet
She got the Uchi, meta souls let's go
"Gaming idol Kirin... das me" - Fauna 😎
Dark Souls Community: Welcome Fauna! We always have room for more Chosen Undeads.
The lock on button has left the building ladies and gentlemen.
She's beginning to believe!
DARK SOULS?? FAUNA?
LES FKING GO

Souls captures another player
Dark Souls 1 was my favorite. DS2 and 3 just weren't the same, like they figured great music and bigger enemies was all they needed.
Didn't expect Dan Gheesling lore in a Fauna clip 26:41
Ah yes my favorite Souls meme character: Large Dad
Green (Affectionate)
she's getting drawn in...
"Everyone is cheating on this game except for me"
Welcome to Fromsoft
Shes officially been infected by the Dark Souls brain worm
THE LEGEND NEVER DIES
23:42 exactly
Dark Souls is my favorite souls-like
Thx for the condensed clips
You Couldn't Live with Your Own Failure, Where Did that Bring You? Back to Me- Dark Souls
Reminds me of the first time I dived into Dark Souls... I was trash. If Fauna plays more and keeps practicing the parry timing and such I can see her really enjoying the series.
Fauna boss soul got dank :0
So sad I missed it live since I was at work
Thank you as always!!
I can see a disgusting amount of Dark Souls streams in the future from her and Gura, I couldn't be any happier.
Side note: I wish someone in Hololive would finally do NG+ of a souls game (at least from what I know, no one has done so).
Now we are just waiting for Fauna and Guras co-op Elden ring playthrough. Could be a 3 man coop with Biboo
in all my years of playing this game I have never once did plunged the boar. I guess you can do that huh
I knew Fauna would be great at Dark Souls!
*fauna said calmly*
"Im pretending noone watching rn"
Then i recall fauna clock in with 15k live viewers during this one haha
Jdon my Soulslike games
Can't wait to see her reaction to the open heart surgery dragon.
I Love that she discovered the joy of making the ugliest character you humanly can in a fromsoft game
2:00 i am shting you not, i have a nightmare that night after i saw that face.
So glad he gave the game a fair try tho =)
i enjoy souls genre a lot because the danger of exploration is so much more potent than i expect in other genres
ive really enjoyed mortal shell and The Surge 1&2 as well as Darksouls 2 & 3
i would like to play bloodborne but alas sony despises gamers
we got her bois

Oh no! Fauna dreams about doing crimes to make her streams interesting! She's becoming a real streamer!
YESSS
Green :D
Elden ring dlc next😂.
Fauna: why people play this game?
Also Fauna:
Fauna's dream was right. This is easily the worst Sims content I've ever seen.
Of course she’d be back…She plays Getting Over It after all.
And I’m glad she’s back to playing souls.
Saplings know Fauna just cannot accept feeling defeated 😆 She'd grind this game until Bennet Foddy hands her the congratulations at the end
