I was so hyped when i saw then. Im a ants enthousiaste. Seems to me like "Hormiga cullona" meaning big butt ants they serve as a reserve of nectar for the other ants. Some people in colombia roast and eats them.
@@DarthKato Some ants have stingers other ants shoot acid. Ants are related to wasps. Super fascinating. Check out some youtube documentaries when bored.
Yes some species of ants do have stingers, actually the Bullet ant has the most painful sting of any animal, ranking number 1 in the Schmidt pain index. It feels like you got shot by a bullet, but the feeling persist for up to 24 houres.
I like how it was only huge rats and huge wolves at first. Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 added huge pigs and crabs. Sekiro huge snakes. But Elden Ring has like huge lobsters, bears ants, dragonflies, octopuses LOL. Why can't we have huge rabbits or guinea pigs.
DS1 has huge cats and they aren't exactly cuddly and lovable...so yeah even if they add huge rabbits in future games I'd bet From will make sure the rabbits are as demonic as rabbits can be.

Just wanted to throw a huge congrats man. I’m an old subscriber that have been watching you for a few years now. Almost 500k followers now!!! Congrats man!!!! Long live cookie Long live the kid snatcher
Really liking this edited run of Elden Ring, the other guys I follow for souls content are putting up their unedited runs, and I frankly just can't stay engaged for an hour while they run around not necessarily doing much of interest.
That giant creature that shoots stones at you reminds me of the orphan of Kos. Kinda looks to me like an adult version of him, like how he would've turned out be if, well, he had the chance to be born and grown.
Counting gravity deaths in prod's videos, day 108: There are 5 gravity deaths in this video. Deaths this year: 51 Yeah baby, i'm back. I'm pretty much at the end of my playthrough, so since you are still pretty early on i can watch these vids without spoiling myself. When i have the time i'll watch the older ones and add those gravity deaths too, don't worry : )
@@genesisosuna that's probably why that fight scared me away from that area wasn't that bad with enchanted knight sword but if you mess up you get bleed so quickly definitely the hardest NPC fight not including boss fight ones
i had no idea that teleporter was there... i could get the great oracle bubble sorcery SUPER early. like you can almost b line it from the beginning of the game...
For giggles I made a new character and ran up to altus mountain and grabbed the second twinblade to dual wield them before doing anything else. There's a lot you can do/get if you know where you want to go.
Thank you for that 'To be continued' at the end there, Prod. I honestly thought you'd end the playthrough of the most anticipated game of the year with this video. :P
After almost 300Hrs into Elden Ring, the toughest challenge I've suffered through (which thankfully isn't just myself) is rolling to cancel out of the telescope, only to plummet from the precipice to my doom.
I remember before the baslics I kept reading messages about il omen creatures ahead I thought I was more ants but they didn’t attack me maybe since I had the beast repellent torch
That cave is actually the godliest of godly loot nukes. I hated the ants untill i got there. Now i praise their abundance butts. All praise the ant abundance butts.
Oh yes I remember this place, oh yeah, the mm the ants.... uh If I can recall correctly I didnt really sleep that night from what bits and pieces I can remember. Yeah...
I swear I do not fear insects like spiders and such, but Miyazaki always manage to freak me out with those damned animations... I MEAN LOOK AT THOSE ANTENNAS, HOW THEY MOVE, THEY'RE SO DISGUSTING I HATE THOSE ANTS- QwQ
I just got off the game a few minutes ago playing the same area...though I haven't found the dragonkin boss you fought, but I did with ancestral spirit and I loved the music for it
@@aaronmoorhouse2404 I see, how did I get the regal one? I simply lit the torches like Prod did (although I entered his arena by another dead elk body).
@@TheFaqvideos You must have entered via the elk corpse located in Nokron. The regular one is in Siofra River. I ended up fighting the regal version first too because I went to Nokron first.
I love how in the Polish version of the game these stupid arrows are called "seeking arrows" which must be the fkn truth written somewhere in the codes of these arrows. I don't believe any NPC ever in the history of gaming had that good aim.
What version of the game is this?? Ancestor spirit in retail is called Regal Ancestor Spirit, has many more moves + heals, there are little animal spirits running around while you fight it and at the end says Legend Felled instead of great enemy Its so much more impressive
The great jar guy, there’s a ledge in the top left of the little area it locks off when you summon the NPC, where the npcs fall off, you can use it to farm rune arcs
Hey Prod, I just wanna warn you that the Mimic Tear summon makes the game way too easy so I would suggest not using it but ofc you can do what you want :)

I was overleveled when I fought them.. one fell through the map and mt mimic tear solo'd the other one
The dragon fire in the tunnel to burn the ants worked almost too well lol
Currently roughly 80 hours in. Still not even at the end. This game is everything I needed it to be and a bag of chips. Much love Miyazaki. ♥️
I’m 100 hours in and I just discovered that I could progress with the game by walking through a giant door that I thought had been closed.
Minus the reused enemies in mountaintop and haligtree and yeah Id say the game is... pretty good :)
@@dylanschmeichel2008 don't even start me on the haligtree... They've put all the worst enemies in there.

I don't know it doesn't have any gimmicks but it does a lot more damage than the others
incase anybody is wondering the song playing during the Ancestor Spirit fight is - Regal Ancestor Spirit - by Yuka Kitamura
Seeing those ants reminded me of Earth Defence Force game. Good memories.
Just got iron rain a bit ago after beating 5. I like it but miss the plasma cannons which seem to be absent.

I hate ants. I had chills every time I entered zones with the ants. Truly more terrifying for me than anything else in this damn game
So I’m assuming you haven’t met the royal revenants yet huh? They put the fear of GOD into you.
@@Nightmare-pj4fg just dodge to the right. Now those Bloodied Crows keep me up at night.
Going through any area where those ants were made my skin crawl; I have a phobia of insects, so it was quite scary.
@@Iseenotix yeah I hate the damn crows, they look so weird lol
Needless to say I disliked going through Caelid before I progressed more into the game
NOT AS MUCH AS THOSE FUCKING FINGERS
Really liking this edited run of Elden Ring, the other guys I follow for souls content are putting up their unedited runs, and I frankly just can't stay engaged for an hour while they run around not necessarily doing much of interest.
the ancestral spirit is by far one of my favorite boss fights because it was avery beautiful fight but i also love the music to it
Man I thought Bloodborne spiders were bad cause of the chalice dungeons but those ants are pretty nasty
The bell spiders are way worse. Definitely one of my least favorite trash mobs in any game

Honestly I'd love to know the story between Prod and his valantine. They sound so sweet!
Can't wait until he goes into spiritcaller's cave. That cave sucks
Gotta love those snails!
If he finds I never found that location I do know the boss though and the enemy due to them showing up later
@@azeria1 the cave is pretty easy to find, I believe it's near were you fight juno hoslow
@@genesisosuna that's probably why that fight scared me away from that area wasn't that bad with enchanted knight sword but if you mess up you get bleed so quickly definitely the hardest NPC fight not including boss fight ones
I was so angry when that final snail showed up. I had almost no health and zero estus left. "Hell no, I am not dying to a god damn snail!"
Oh proddy boy this is just the beginning theres so much more pain ahead
24:25 had me dying dude that was so funny
damn I never put two and two together that Torrent and the Ancestor Spirit both jump in the air like that
I can start watching videos, the thumbnails are no longer complete mysteries. I recognize them.
I still don't get why those humanoid cows hang out with rats
I think that great sword should do bleed damage as essentially it cuts with the strike and the multiple other swords simultaneously lol
Kid snatcher kind of looks like Inigo Montoya, from A Princess Bride 😂
Proddy. Many ant species have stingers to inject venom or acid. That being said, ants are related to wasps😌😉
Love your content as always!

After almost 300Hrs into Elden Ring, the toughest challenge I've suffered through (which thankfully isn't just myself) is rolling to cancel out of the telescope, only to plummet from the precipice to my doom.
i freaking hate those ants. i thought they were some sort of roach I'm like "nope. I'm not fighting them."
lol
Poison swamp? Oh no prod thats the underground Slime flow from GhostBusters 2. You aint afrade of no ghosts
I wish I could have my first Elden ring play through again
It rly do be like that
Pet the gorilla bear...no the gorilla bear will pet you XD Anyways keep up the amazing videos Prod
I remember before the baslics I kept reading messages about il omen creatures ahead I thought I was more ants but they didn’t attack me maybe since I had the beast repellent torch
They never straight up attack you, they usually just sit back and fart cursed dust at you
*thinks Siofra river is too much*
*goes into Caelid*
That cave is actually the godliest of godly loot nukes.
I hated the ants untill i got there. Now i praise their abundance butts.
All praise the ant abundance butts.

Just wait until Nokstella lmao
And I thought giant spiders was the worst giant insect to face in games. Ants are much worst.
I hated this cave when I first got there.. was underleveled and getting one shot by everything... I'm just glad they weren't spiders
This goddamn area and those goddamn archers...
Goddamn!!
That bear fight was intense haha
Is that an Australian lady friend I hear in the background? Well done mate.

Weird, the ancestor spirit regenerated his health like 4 times when I fought it, but didn't do that once for Prod.
There's two versions of this boss - 'Ancestor Spirit' and 'Regal Ancestor Spirit'. I think only the regal version regenerates health.
@@aaronmoorhouse2404 I see, how did I get the regal one? I simply lit the torches like Prod did (although I entered his arena by another dead elk body).
@@TheFaqvideos You must have entered via the elk corpse located in Nokron. The regular one is in Siofra River. I ended up fighting the regal version first too because I went to Nokron first.
If you beat all three npc and taking to the big pot you get big jar talisman which is like haval ring.
I got to the ants tonight. Poison mist and wait for them to die 😁 but bears? Fuqq bears!
awee he didnt want pets he just wanted hugs.. bear hugs....
the ant nest was SO disgusting that i needed to take a 10min break before continuing because i almost threw up
You can fast travel underground and vice versa, dont have to take the elevator all the time
Can't wait for a specific locations
Those archers in Siofra River are insufferable
Love you Prod
Rune bears are the real bosses of elden ring
I don't know if I will ever do the ant place. Those ants. They just look way too creepy. It's too fucking much.
I love how in the Polish version of the game these stupid arrows are called "seeking arrows" which must be the fkn truth written somewhere in the codes of these arrows. I don't believe any NPC ever in the history of gaming had that good aim.

Woot woot!
Anakin Skywalker be like: 1:24
Is... is from they trying to redeem the ds2 Frigid Outskirts reindeers with the Ancestor Spirit?!
Ants Ants more ants don't kill the queen ant
How did the ancestor not heal a single time against him, but he did 50 times against me
Is this kinda a starship troopers reference?
Yo prod, just a tiny little question:
Do you have plans to play Elden Ring Ascended mod if/when it comes out?
Yeah probably
What version of the game is this??
Ancestor spirit in retail is called Regal Ancestor Spirit, has many more moves + heals, there are little animal spirits running around while you fight it and at the end says Legend Felled instead of great enemy

A poison swamp, heh...

One might even say the terriblest cave.
Classic Miyazaki
The lake of Rot, my most hated boss dwells there
Hey, didn't know you got a GF. Good shit man! Now you can both go thru Miyazaki's death maze of a game together haha
OH GOD HE IS GOING TO FIGHT DKSoN!
Finally :)
Suddenly the game is EDF... atleast it's not spiders... yet.
Wait that red phantom wasn't in front of pot boi for me, Do I need to use the furcalling thingy to get him to appear?
You need to talk to the giant jar, then they appear
@@sep0epifore Thought I did that but I was busy smacking pot's ass thinking he would drop the key to the door behind him.
Hey Prod, I just wanna warn you that the Mimic Tear summon makes the game way too easy so I would suggest not using it but ofc you can do what you want :)
I ended up beating every boss without summoning, until the Rot Goddess. Oh my god that fight sucked
I love you prod
and what color is that poison swamp?.....
Bro how do you even manage to lose those runes like that?
Why 2 part 9 Prod? Is there a secret?
