My jaw dropped when Aggy showed my fan art on stream, and it happened again now. Seeing editors compressing so many hours of content and still managed to include Aggy showing it live. I'm so grateful and happy that Aggy, his editor and so many people on discord liked it so much. Great video! Thank you guys! I can't express how happy I am.

Mogh finally beat the allegations
Mohg is another tragic example of the fact that men are treated as guilty until proven innocent. Those ''Mohglester'' claims kept him from passing so many lucrative job interviews. Only Ansbach was still on his side. Victim blaming has to stop!
@@TheStraightestWhitest mohg isn’t the kind to go to job interviews, but it’s tragic to see his start up never got the chance to fully launch
@@TheStraightestWhitest "It's not my fault officer, the underage child charmed me with his demigod powers!" Good luck with that broski 👋
@@TheStraightestWhitest Not only that, but also a victim of racism. Had Mohg not been an omen, most wouldn't immediately think him to be the monster while Miquella, normal looking demigod who's also an Empyrean and thus put on a pedestal as an Empyrean was always thought to be the victim.
@@TheStraightestWhitest It's not just males. Males assume and blame women for stuff without taking accountability all the time, especially in today's incel and alpha male culture. And just like Mohg was born omen and people most likely assume he's bad simply because of appearance or his assumed sexual preferences, people have their own biases when it comes to races, cultures, genders, sexualities, physical attractiveness, etc too.
I like how everyone’s playthrough is so different considering he fought gaius real early and messmer towards the 2nd half. Meanwhile I fought the lion scadutree avatar, and messmer pretty early
Bayle was my 1st major boss, I regret nothing. (Major as in the only other bosses I had fought at that point were the ones on the way to him, so dragonmans and dragons, man.
Yeah fr messmer is supposed to be fought after rellana in terms of remembrance order (the way they are balanced, you can fight them in whatever order you want)
I mean, after killing bayle I found a barrier that wouldn't let me pass (on the coast) so I presumed killing mesmer would lead me there, I was wrong on that front too so went there as I heard barrier-go-down sound.
I beat prime radahn before soldier of godrick
So to explain the final boss confusion to Aggy (obviously big lore spoilers):

You missed a big part of the story by going to Leda's fight early. When the message "A great rune shattered", you could go back to the NPCs and they would reveal that the charm spell of Miquella faded on them. Ansbach, the old man who worked under Mogh would mention how Miquella scares him. He would later move to the Shadow Keep.
When you talk to him, he mentions that he found records of Mohg's remains having been moved from the storehouse, implying they wanted to use his dead body for something. Finding a document on the upper floors of the keep would confirm his suspicions and make him your ally.
The voice you heard was indeed Freyja, who she needed help with something. Small detour to Ansbach to get the help, she seems more determined about her resolve and also implies that Radahn may be glorious again.
Fast forward past the Leda fight, if you helped Ansbach, he is summonable to both the gank fight (which btw you ended up with only Leda, Drylead and Hornsent. I had Moore and Freyja on top so it was a 5 v 2 at some point) and the final boss, where he mentions that revived Radahn is using Mogh's remains and it's why he can use that one bloodflame move. It's a zombie Radahn/Mogh humonculus made by Miquella.
I'm writing it very quickly and I'm sure to be missing something since some NPC questlines just ended on my end and I lost track of many of them (tks fromsoft...) but that's the main gist. Miquella revived Radahn using Mogh's body because he made a promise to have Radahn as consort if he became a god.
yeah he kinda ruined it for himself ,
which also made this video's exploration/story bits also felt terribly paced. would have loved to see his reaction to how NPacs react before and after the great rune shatters etc
This whole NPC fight is brilliant because both sides change depending on what side quests you've done and what choices you've made for Leda. For me I had Thiollier on my side, and I'm pretty sure I had to fight Moore as well
you can also complete thiollers’ quest and summon him too for the npc fight, making it seem as more of a gigantic battle
This, IMO, is one of the few failings of the DLC. Not because I think it's a bad approach or is bad in-and-of itself, because it's akin to a lot of FromSoft's NPC questline approaches in the other games, especially in Elden Ring. The problem is that SotE is a much more open game than even the base game, and as a result your going to find yourself going one direction, and then veering completely off course to another, and each player is going to have their own approach to exploration (for example, Aggy went to the Abyssal Woods before even beating Messmer, whereas the Abyssal Woods for me was the second to last thing I got to before the final boss). The quest, in contrast, is a fairly linear quest. One where you're either going to lock yourself out of things if you progress too far, or you're going to forget who some of those NPCs were after 10-15 hours of being on the opposite side of the map, or where they're at as you're going through some of the more labyrinthian dungeons in the game
Not to mention that most people are going to see "A great rune shattered..." and then go "oh... okay... uh..." and then move forward with whatever they were doing. When that happened I went back to Leda and got her dialogue, but then went back and progressed too far into Shadow Keep before going back to Moore. Ansbach wasn't anywhere to be found, so I progressed Moore's dialogue, and thus he was in the fight. But I completely missed Ansbach (either didn't see him or he wasn't there). I then went back and saw Freyja & found the scroll, but didn't see Ansbach, so just progressed to kill Messmer. After that Leda's like "welp, I'ma go kill Ansbach."
(In contrast, my brother was playing and actually got to Cerulean Coast as one of his first areas, and when he tried to enter the Coffin Fissure, there was a yellow door saying "a great rune prevents one from entering." So when he got the great rune break message, he thought it just meant he could go down there now)
Again, this is nothing new when it comes to Souls NPC quest design, and thus it's not a bad approach. I think the main issue is the notice of Miquella's great rune breaking seems so matter of fact (even though it isn't), that most people will just take it as some indicator for something they'll eventually run into later in the DLC, or just some in-world indicator of how far they're in the DLC. You see this result in so many people surprised by who the final boss is, when progressing Ansbach's quest more or less tells who you that's going to be

Just want to say props to the editor for this video. Normally long videos from any creator feel like a chore to watch but this one was edited so well that it was enjoyable the entire way through.
Fun fact : at 1:15:15 the big rat is in fact too big to fall between the two platforms like the little ones, but instead gets somehow stuck between them, if you wait long enough, it will die by "fall damage" due to a game error process lmao
@Markone99 Devs the dread. 😂😂😂
I literally had the big rat fall in that exact spot in my game like 2 days ago, although I think it might have come at an angle
@@GG-bw5qd Noooo, they just fixed it in the last patch... Let's just give perfumes more damages and lux new skins on league I guess, let's ruin the fun :')
Funny, that actually happened to me too, I somehow managed to land on my own runes with Torrent in Rauh ruins somewhere. Torrent became stuck with the running animation and was very slowly falling through the runes but it was too slow and I didn't reach the ground, the game just killed me after a couple seconds instantly lol. (Yes, I was annoyed by losing hundreds of thousands of runes)
the amount of times Aggy says "hes squishy" or "hes not hard" and then gets IMMEDIATLY REKT makes me cackle
ER randomizers gotta be wild with new dlc bosses
it'll actually be interesting to see how randomizers handle the dlc scaling, both for putting base game bosses in the dlc and dlc bosses in the base game.
I’m not looking forward to seeing the new Radahn as like Margit or something.
2nd phase Radahn in a small arena where you cant escape the Light of Miquella attack and the meteors is going to be awful
@@travisdao3762 Usually the default settings of the randomizer will help mitigate stuff like this. This and any other safety nets can be toggled off, and of course, every content creator/challenge runner usually do so for the content.
@@travisdao3762 yeah like base Radahn in a small space is already awful but this new awful is going to be beyond dreadful. Might have to remove him from the lineup honestly. At least the second phase assuming it’s separate.
I like how they manage to give regular fire, golden fire, frenzy flame, bloodflame and Bayle's fire distinctive looks and feels, despite the colors for them all being in the usual range for fire, i.e. red, orange and yellow.
I am very late but there is also the Fire Giant's flames, the ones that are pure red
@@vraolet Fire Giant's fire isn't pure red, it's orange. I guess "regular" fire is a bit lighter and a bit more yellow, but that particular pair doesn't really feel as distinctive as the rest
2:42:30 "Where did this come from?" he says after not doing a single of the lore quests
Fr I remember one of Leda’s notes talking about Mohg corpse and Radahns soul
Still really out of nowhere with the lore though. Like why Radahn? As far as I could tell there was no indications on any relation in between Miquella and Radahn from before, if anything they were hostile towards each other with them sending Malenia to kill Radahn. And why in the world did he pick Radahn over his own sister?
@@equivalentexchange4918 the basegame basically states a god needs an elden lord as consort. After the Radahn/Miquella fight, we find out Miquella had chosen Radahn as consort (not stated, but it seems like a "wether you like it or not" proposal). Young Radahn's armor set tells you exactly why Malenia nuked the guy to begin with :)
@@maledetta_parodi
The base game heavily suggests that miquella is trying to revive godwyn's soul not radahn they retconed the lore in the DLC
@@AhmadAli-pn5xk Honestly DLC also kinda hinted at Godwyn with his "face" being in the catacomb boss rooms and all the death stuff. Really thought we'd see Miquella revive his soul and put it in mohgs body if nothing else.
Came here to feel validated about Commanders Gaius’ charge hitbox. Did not disappoint.
I ended up putting bloodhound step on my weapon and using it solely for that move...but I gotta say for how frustrating the fight was at first, the last few attemps were some of the most fun I had in the DLC
how did he just run past SO MANY of the NPCs
he never even met Ansbach or Moore???
And then he complained about not knowing what's going on
Fr dude missed a bunch of the dlc content and story wise. Missed a few optional bosses, literally got to the end of an NPC quest line and TURNED AROUND MISSING THE FINALE. I get it, he's streaming and at the end of the day I doubt he actually cares. Just feel like people who only watch challenge run streamers are getting a bad point of reference for the dlc.
I mean, there is not much explanation about the final boss. Just the secret rite book
It's so damn easy to miss half of this shit to be fair. It's a fromsoft game after all
Im so mad he missed LITERALLY EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. How does that even happen? Missing 9 Quests even though characters are literally chilling in front of belurat or after Ensis... makes me think he just "rushed" through the game, not paying attention
1:19:10 said it in the vod and will say it again, timing with the ost is perfect.
Bro Messmer might be my fav boss in the series he's just perfect
I really wish you could parry more of his moves.
@@ASmashedPumpkin7more, u can parry him ?????
Scadutree Avatar is my favourite and Messmer is the second.
His head so fcking small
It was until I got to Midra. Everything about that place and fight is uhm, mesmerising.
"I will follow the intended path for a bit."
"What's over here though?"
Elden Ring in a nutshell
I sat and watched this for 50 minutes before thinking "wait how long is this video" and then looked at the runtime
There's something comforting about seeing Aggy struggle with the same "How do I get there?!" questions I had. XD
Not to mention being extremely confused by some of the final boss' attacks and how to dodge them
27:46 "watch out for darahn later" turned out to be incredibly true and valid
I’ve never seen someone not only complain about listening to Igon’s speech every time, but actively try and avoid it by summoning him at the very end of the fight
So sad that the part at the very beginning where Aggy uses 6 flasks to kill a basic enemy and then thinks it's a miniboss isn't there, that was so funny
But mad props for cutting all those hours into a concise video
27:46 Either that person had knowledge of the final boss or they got extremely lucky with that prediction of who to watch out for lol
its amazing how rhythmic the dancing lions fight is, it has the same flow as the music itself and i kinda love that
aggys hardest challenge so far: play the game normally
Isn't that literally what he did in this video?
@@moonxmoon1096you figured out the joke congrats
can't believe I just one sitted that whole vid
guess that shows how bad the post dlc depression hits
The final boss is pretty good btw, I wonder at what blessing level you were at because it looked much harder in your playthrough (probably an armor thing, I used the solitude armor set you get at the beginning with no helmet, pretty tanky stuff, and I got him at blessing 18)
@@AdhasinThat Armor is just insanely tanky, and Scadu 18 is beyond endgame too. I personally didnt level Scadu above 10 to make the fight more challenging, and it was definitely hard. Probably Malenia level, had 74 deaths
Just start a NG+ with all the new DLC gear!
I love how the first boss he fights is something he hates which is an NPC
Aggy the kinda guy to wear slacks with suspenders, a button-up shirt with a bowtie and carry around a comically large lollipop
I love the mother of fingers, bc it's desinged to look like a black hole and it just looks sooooo good
Black hole plus neutron star
I don't pretend to be objective, but to me the Mother is the most mediocre dlc boss. The design is disgusting and unremarkable, the boss fight itself is dull and weird.
Aside from a couple farts of death the boss is nothing.
Ngl, the dancing lion makes a lot more sense than "godfroy" to me. But that's probably just because lore wise, the dancing lion is just 4 dudes in a costume, and godfroy is supposed to be godfrey's ancestor, and having them look literally the same is stupid.
It's actually 2 also in the story trailer you can see up to 4 divine beasts being impaled by messmer
Yup. The Divine Beasts are just crafted beings basically. There's many of them. Messmer just slew the majority.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Yeah, well, actually, it's kind of a lame excuse.
At the script level, you can justify any kind of crap like that. Say, for example, that Messmer had a loser twin brother with no phase two.
Why aren't there 10000 fire giants in the game, they were used to make an army.
Or Malenia, it turns out, had a valkyrie cousin who also had no arm. Oops...
@@rodo1252 My English is not that good, so maybe I wrote something wrong.
I wrote that ABSOLUTELY any copying of bosses can be nominally made not a lazy copying, but a SCENE-BASED lazy copying. To do this, just write in the description of some legendary underpants rubber band that Malenia is actually not one person, but the hive mind with multiple bodies. TADA, now the developers can shove Malenias around the world as regular mobs, as bosses in worthless dungeons and as regular invulnerable mobs in worthless dungeons.

Wears armor especially for jump attacks, but doesn't jump attack; Grabs a weapon especially for dragons, doesn't use it against THE dragon of the DLC; Skips the Dragon Priestess that leads up to THE dragon.
This is truly the Dark Souls of Elden Ring playthroughs.
the dlc is meant for multiple play thoughs anyway because you can't get everything in one
To be fair, streamers in general always miss a lot of details because they're also busy entertaining the audience, so only like half of their focus is on the actual game
Messmers attacks are so damn cool to look at. You can see scales on the individual flames as the snakes form from the flames and squirm away
kicking through radahn’s heart is one hell of a way to end the fight
27:47 "Watch out for Dahran later" PEAK FORESHADOWING
54:15 "Ok Radahn." Little did he know.
Radahns grab does nothing the first time he does but the second time you insta die
It's so easy to dodge though, when I was fighting him for the 100th time I was so relieved whenever he did that haha
dude literally steals your heart
Love how it shows the few times he got lost but tactfully edited out him getting super confused trying to find the third finger area before Metyr. Watched that live and was laughing my ass off.

@@sophisticatedfrog5737same!!!! I also tried this!!!
I had the exact reaction Aggy had at the end, confusion "where did this come from?" "is that it?", it just kind of leaves you there post cutscene. Loved it tho, they truly outdid themselves with this DLC.
Reading some of the comments I guess npc quests explain the reveal, just got back to the DLC on NG+ and will probly be following guides because I progressed too early and missed out on some lore and gear (most specifically Ansbach and like the final 1% of Thiollier's quest).
Dark Souls DLC doesn't even give you a cutscene lol

Been waiting for this and its all in a single video?! Bless you Aggy and Max!
I think the random Sanguine Noble summon for the Leda fight is for people who managed to not finish any of the NPCs quest, so they don't have to fight alone. I did the quests and got to summon Ansbach and Thiolier to fight against them (Freyja was also alive, on their team)
Squeezing the entire DLC with all relevant bosses and moments in a 3 hour video is actually insane, great work! Greetings from germany!
A three-hour movie is coming out, I - There's no way I'm going to watch this for so long.
Aggy posted a three-hour dlc video, I - Not a word more, let's start watching right now.
I greatly appreciate this supercut, since I couldn't watch the streams to not spoil myself until I was done with the DLC myself. Now I am here and my body is ready
I literally can't wait when the Bois do Bingo with the DLC things. That's gonna be sooo fucking cool
the fact that I can be entertained for the entire 3 hours of this video and not lose focus or attention speaks volumes for both Aggy and his editor
2:24:37 LMAOOOOOOOOO that editing is nothing short of perfect
Vile Bayle is just, so amazing to fight. The music, the atmosphere, the lore, the fight itself, the visuals. It's like a culmination of actual peak fantasy
the most major “learnable” thing about the final boss fight is that the golden illusions in the second phase do marginal damage compared to the ACTUAL hit that comes at the end of the chain, and are merely meant to throw you off your rhythm. obviously that doesn’t matter if you’re low hp already… they can still kill you. but it helps to figure out when you’re supposed to prioritize rolling in the seemingly impossible attack chain (cause it does seem to be nearly impossible to avoid all damage from it)
As far as i can tell, all of the illusion teleports (except the quick one he does after dashing to the side, which you just roll twice) are meant to be avoided by sprinting, but each one requires a different direction. When he rises into the air and raises his right arm, you can sprint to his left to avoid the illusions and then roll the final hit.
When he does his flying rock throw, its always followed by a teleport attack using both swords, so you should spend all the time between when he flies up and when he comes down for the final swing just running directly away from him (the rocks can be avoided by running sideways and jumping to shrink your hitbox and give a boost of speed).
When he does his gravity pull-in aoe, you can avoid the gravity followup by running away and jumping the slam aoe. In the second phase he follows this up with anothet few teleports and a second gravity slam; literally just keep running and jump the second slam.
And, finally, the big meteor strike he does at 15% health, can be avoided by just running in any direction while he’s in the air (you dont need to know where he’s coming from).
TLDR: when he starts teleporting a million times, just run away and only dodge the final hit.
entire fight is learnable if you know how to parry 😅
I'm curious to see how tough he will be for the hitless comunity
I beat this recently and noticed this but wasn't sure how to utilize it - I never thought to block even though I was parrying. Whoops.
Still a cheap complication
Hands down the best dlc playthrough video. Mad props to you and whoever edited it.
Aggy really played shadow of the “SCADOO!” Tree
Nice sneaky edit at 17:44
As soon as he had him down to like 1/200th health on midra and he started going in for a double, i knew he was toast. Lmao. Such a familiar sight. 😂
i think radahn has a clarity problem
its practically impossible to reason out how to dodge his phase 2 attacks. the visual information is so overwhelming and unlike anything else in the series that you're only hope is to trial in error in the middle of the hardest phase ever devised. i had the same experience where after enough torture i thought maybe you're supposed to tank the clones cause it really does feel impossible to avoid
i had to look up a no hit to watch how they did it and once you know its totally reasonable but before then you basically have no chance
Some of the difficulty definitely comes from his arms being obscured by the massive hair, making it difficult to tell what attack he's winding up
agree hair and beams everywhere, its not a great fight in terms of readability. i almost summoned another player.
I strongly disagree. I figured him out completely by my 10th try, and beat him on my 12th. No summons, no greatshield. Just parries and a Smithscript Cirque. People really are just against learning. You can see that Aggy has figured him out in that last fight.
@@TheStraightestWhitest fromsoft bot here defending the decline of bosses design is the saddest thing of all, like is that a fair boss to you???? some people craaazy shit
@@TheStraightestWhitest I smell bullshit
Damn he missed so many secrets. Also if you get caught in that Miquella grab twice then you instantly die. You can cure the debuff with the Miquella rune since it's a reusable item
There are many ways to get everywhere on the map. A random dungeon or spirit spring are not the only way and are often the more difficult and counter intuitive way to get there
Of course the first thing he does is find the Sekiro tear
So glad to see Aggy finally play Shower of the Erdtree
Don't feel bad about missing the maps. I went thru both Ancient Ruins and Jagged Peak/Hidden Grave w/o the map piece because I missed the obvious entrances to their respective lower sections.
The verticallity of the DLC throws you off so much.
That last fight was insane, whole DLC looks awesome. Love that last line "are we the bad guy?" 💀 😂
Huge agree that Messmer should have had two full health bars, such a fun fight.
I know it's pretty obscure, but missing Ansbach, Thiollier and Freyja's questlines is tragic. Also wish he read the description about Metyr
CURSE YOU BALE!
Man, i fucking love igon
is it just me or is the camera in the second half of the mezmer fight really well done?
10:26 How does Aggy make the noises he does with an almost dead face. Like he barely emotes screaming for his life lmao
Thanks for vid Aggy. Wasn't sure if I could watch all the vods lmao. GGs
The Order you played through this was so weird, you found the shadow forest BEFORE the other two southern regions which are much easier to get to then you killed Romina BEFORE Messmer.
Well the game doesnt really tell you where to go so anyones direction isnt that weird. Romina was the 3rd boss i fought and Messmer was the second to last
it was way easier for me to find romina because there are 800 different branches to shadow keep and i kept thinking "there's no way there's more here"
Those Stripped Of The Grace Of Gold Shall All Meet Death, In The Embrace Of Messmer's Flame. (I only heard this about 20 times in row before I beat his ass)
i love how aggy completly missed Ansbach and his Lore-Filled quest.
so at the end he is just confused xd
It’s a shame so many people are missing that quest line because Ansbach is like the best NPC in the DLC.
"You've gotta put that back in Bloodborne sir, that's Sony property" has me dying of laughter
2:15:38 Aggy has never been more wrong in his life
Marathon of a video but I already know it's a banger. Caught the first couple streams and they were a blast
I'm glad I'm not the only one who could never figure out how to dodge that 2nd attack in the 3-hit combo of the final boss. I tried literally everything I could think of & never dodged it
because it is mathematically impossible from almost all angles. there is nowhere near enough time to roll both hits, and the hurtbox is significantly larger than any roll type. the only way to dodge it is by exploiting slight vertically in the terrain, or being in the perfect spot near his left foot *before* he even decides to do the attack, and rolling to your right and behind him
@PotatoTortoise I've now seen people dodge both attacks in one roll by going to the left/toward Radahn's right. I don't fully understand it, but I believe it involves strafing & rolling very late to dodge the end of swipe 1 & the startup of swipe 2. It's also possible to backstep swipe 1 & still have enough time to roll swipe 2, but I can't remember if that requires the backstep talisman or not.
It's super unintuitive though for sure, and I don't think I've seen anyone figure it out on a blind playthrough
The editor brought it for this one! Too funny.
49:33 situations like these are where the "why do I hear boss music" meme originated
