I love this quote. It's funny because not only is it true, this quote was spoken by Batman in the disguise of Killer Croc. This was Batman's own opinion
I'd say that it is fair to mention that "someone" fighting Messmer with only rocks is, likely, Sax Slave Gael - a pretty cool Souls player and challenge runner. He's done some pretty impressive runs too, worth checking out.
it’s not really poise, it’s weapon has a feature that it has some ridiculous hyperarmor when attacking, ash of war especially. Never trade hits with Rakshasa katana user, they roll with the colossals
@@thatlittlemonstrosity I was talking about the boss specifically, she does get staggered of of weed cutter by a dual GH jump L1. NPCs have more passive poise and less hyper armor than players.
It seemed like those "counter hits" were just some weird point blank hit for the rocks, because AFAIK only Pierce damage can counterhit and those high damage hits only came from really close rock throws. You can even see 2 separate instances of damage if you go by frame by frame on those hits, one for like 2/3rds of the damage of the normal hit and then the entire normal throw damage the next frame.
@@RanDoomPuffHeadshots would still be one hit, not two separate ones one frame apart. And he makes full contact with Gaius' Boars ass at 31:10 and gets the boosted damage compared to every rock that hits both Gaius and the Boars head directly.
BTW, for those who didn't read it - you get a lot more poise while weed-cutting with Rakshasa's sword, but take more damage. Don't Counter hits only apply to piercing damage?
extra poise from the sword apply to all attacks, as well as debuff and yeah counter hits are pierce damage exclusive bonus. That damage was probably because he was standing pointblank
I should tune in to more dist streams, I was screaming at my monitor during the hippo fight that counter hits only apply to pierce dmg and the rocks are strike 😭
@@confushisushi That's simply not true, the only counter hit mechanic in elden ring is the pierce negation lowering. Other damage types getting counter damage is only present in older souls games
@@theswillmerchant8843 Well that is my bad then. I guess he's just getting really lucky with headshots or something, though it's certainly hard to tell with rock animations.
Some comments have already mentioned it, but counterattacks are exclusive to pierce damage. The Rocks seem to have a double hitbox up close and that's what the "counter hits" were. The rock pots don't seem to have the double hitbox like the rocks themselves.
Idk if you ever realized this throughout the video cause I'm commenting early in, but the reason the rock does that double damage proc is due to it having a melee and ranged hitbox. The rock isn't "used" before it's thrown, so if in melee range, the rock hits twice. I just noticed this in the hippo fight lol
I've been doing this game pest threads only for a meme challenge on journey 3 and took me 3 hours to kill the last boss but never done the DLC but was fun to watch someone do a even crazier challenge XD
That Rakshasa was really punishing you at the end there. I feel like it would've been much easier if you didn't wear that armor because it works against you so hard with damage taken. Awesome run though! I definitely could not do this or I wouldn't have the patience to is a better way to put it.
![I NO HIT the Elden Ring DLC! [WORLDS FIRST]](/img/1.gif)
Gravity is absolutely a valid kill. If you fall off a cliff, you die from hitting the rocks at the bottom.
But what if sword at bottom?
@timclaridge8458 The sword is derived from metal, which in itself was once rock. It counts.
What if you fall into water and die from drowning before reaching the bottom?
@@musicalsoul4542 There are minerals in the water, still counts.
@@musicalsoul4542the water wouldn’t be there without the bedrock below it. still counts .

A rock video with a metal sponsor, the ultimate betrayal.
It’s an anti-paper poster, still a win
What is metal if not just a type of rock?
They're minerals....

Technically it’s stoner rock because the riffs come from a pothead
8:00 "How is that not a stun?!"
The rock is strong, but she is bolder.
Golden Hippo fight was literally some Homo Erectus throwing boulders at a hippo some 500,000 years ago
Dwayne Johnson
If dist ever does/has done a bestial incantions only run he coulda been Dwayn Gurranq Johnson
Yeah!
Dwayne the rock tosson
The stone
Should have modeled the character after him too

I'm sorry who?
Yeah hes an absolute chad
Rakshasa has crazy poise, you need like a dual greathammer jump attack to stun her out of the weed cutter.
That ash just has superarmor but makes the user take more damage
@@huffabubba7041nah its a quality of the weapon itself

@@lharsay
I don’t think they do. They do have more health and defence but as a pvp player I never noticed any poise or hyper armor difference
When Dist swats flies he waits for them to attack to get a counterhit
Lmao

I think they were actually just headshots

It looks like the throwing animation is an attack since he seems to get them only when he is incredibly close.
Glad someone else noticed this
I was so triggered no one in chat noticed and since this is just a video i couldnt tell him...
I really enjoyed watching Dist get his rocks off for 1.5 hours.
BTW, for those who didn't read it - you get a lot more poise while weed-cutting with Rakshasa's sword, but take more damage.
Don't Counter hits only apply to piercing damage?
Yes counter hits are for piercing only, which rocks probably don't do
extra poise from the sword apply to all attacks, as well as debuff
and yeah counter hits are pierce damage exclusive bonus. That damage was probably because he was standing pointblank
4:25 Dist is for sure talking about 'Sax Slave Gael''s Rock only video
Bro WTH! A mate DM'd me saying Distortion referenced that. Kind of mind blowING honestly. That vid did blow up on reddit though 😂
Ancient Dragon Man™️ getting stoned to death is beyond funny to me idk why

HOLY S%#@! You FIRST TRIED PROMISED CONSORT RADAHN, with F-ING ROCKS! New Sub!
I should tune in to more dist streams, I was screaming at my monitor during the hippo fight that counter hits only apply to pierce dmg and the rocks are strike 😭
Same bro 😭
I like that the demihuman onzes parry sound is from sekiro
He would have fit right into that game, lmao
would be fun to see someone rock Malenia with those roundrocks and rock pots and names themself Let_Me_Rock_Her to help players with her

"big counter hit"
Looks inside
Headshot
The Pebble from Bloodborne grew up to become Rock in Elden Ring. . .
Damn I feel old.
One reason the counter hits might not have been working is because the rocks don’t have pierce damage?
Yeah, that's what I thought
All damage types can counter hit, it's only that your pierce defenses lower while you're attacking and thus they get even more bonus.
@@confushisushi That's simply not true, the only counter hit mechanic in elden ring is the pierce negation lowering. Other damage types getting counter damage is only present in older souls games

"That would be the most miserable thing ever." Me: Remembers Genos fist only run

Snickered 'cuz she's bug type.

starting the video with an overused joke is a great way to get new subscribers.
It had me dying lol
@@GM-xk1nwcry more chud
one day we will see it :(((((
Quite thrilling
that onze fight was the funniest shit I've seen for a while, thanks!!
dist is such an optimist i love his attitude 😂 chat will be like HE WILL NEVER and dist is like CMON GUYS WE JUST NEED A LITTLE MORE POWER
Bestial Sling, Stone of Gurranq, Roundrock, Rock Pot, Ruin Fragment, and Golem Fist are all perfectly valid
"I don't know anything except rocks" really resonates with me.
Instead of being a boulder puncher, you’re a boulder thrower.
Idk if you ever realized this throughout the video cause I'm commenting early in, but the reason the rock does that double damage proc is due to it having a melee and ranged hitbox. The rock isn't "used" before it's thrown, so if in melee range, the rock hits twice. I just noticed this in the hippo fight lol
The bloodborne on PC truly is a dream
Ok unrelated but the whistling noise that happens whenever Bayle or Placidusax do their big AOE lightning explosion attacks is so satisfying
Dumpling was MVP of this run
Anna not falling only for Distortion to fall right after is comedy genius
That Radahn was impressive. Nice to know that to dodge most attacks is to simply roll left.
I’ve just beaten the DLC and I literally didn’t know that you could throw rocks
“And a dream”
>Bloodborne pc port
Ah, life is pain
14:00 the way they jumped you was hilarious
I never expected you to be a rock star Dist😄
That intro is so crazy cause I was trying my hardest to remember Displate, I needed some posters 😅
I've been waiting for this. the big rock playthough was inevitable.
Bro knows only torture. Didn't get any buffs/talismans from the main game, just loaded up the dlc and decided it was time to throw big ass rocks
Like watching the Harlem Globetrotters except their opponents are the 95-96 Chicago Bulls.
He will, he will rock em
One piece fans would say this is Oda foreshadowing
I love the elden ring community doing new goofy ass challenge runs all the time, so entertaining. And impressive, first try Radahn with rocks? Amazing
Sniping with that rock fr. Take patients. Good stuff
Yosh with the roll catches and the heal punishes 🤣
3:50 it's like when the kid gets the one up over a grown up in a some Disney movie.
Ah yes Elden Ring but every enemy has been sentenced to stoning
"Except rocks and a dream". I laughed so hard.
Sad.
I love dist doing challenge runs
glad your posting a bunch again
I've been doing this game pest threads only for a meme challenge on journey 3 and took me 3 hours to kill the last boss but never done the DLC but was fun to watch someone do a even crazier challenge XD
Oooooo man that Demi-Human Tosh fight had me laughing
He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone.
Midra is just a really cool boss insane musik, atmosphere and Design great job miazaky ❤

In previous life dist whipped himself with branches 😆
1:33:50 LMAO WHAT IS THAT😂
Imagine you and your homies are just chilling in the land of the shadow and some asshole rides up on a horse and starts chucking boulders at you
The run can be fun. Doesn't change the fact that it shows rocks suck as weapons.
Against the Hippo we were seeing an historically accurate Hunt
The ost for Divine Beast Dancing Lion is fire! 🔥
As a geologist I approve of this run. Chuck those rocks!
Distortion is the definition of commitment 😂
Damn this run was Rock Hard!!! 🤘
Here it is I was waiting for one of these
Nice video and play as always, cheers from Germany
Damm that radahn fight was something else
No rocks were harmed during the making of this film
Juice Robinson would be proud

Its not just a boulder, its a rock !!!!
Character change caught me off guard because he looks like my earth science teacher
Yes, my child
Make havel proud 🗿
Dude distortion in captaindomo's bingo brawlers would be crazyyyyy
i’ve unironically been using them to great affect in pvp on a strengh build
I'll find a rock
I mean a *bigass rock*
Does Taylew's Spirit ash count as a rock? Lol
5:07 RTSR setup
I never knew you could hold 999 of them.. thats kind of OP
Death Knight weapon run when
The earth is a big ol rock so nothin wrong with a lil gravity assist
15:07 can’t even be mad, invader was creative
fallen leafs tell a story of how a pothead stoner became the elden lord
every time i hear raksasha im contemplating whether im watching the whole video or its enough
You know the elden ring video will be good if it is sponsored by Displate.
Logical conclusion: rocks are broken.
This run was so metal!
For purpose of YT watchers, would be nice to have a "Boss Death Counter," and maybe level/Shadowtree blessing level.
