    I know, I know-it can sometimes get annoying when Rory doesn't use all the mechanics the game offers. BUT I've never seen anyone who uses so many different 'builds' in terms of unusual weapons. Take the snake shield, for example. It wouldn't have even crossed my mind to use that in battle. Long story short, I love you guys and every RKG fan out there. ❤

      @terminatortom1380 I think it's important to realise that you're STILL saying he should do it "a certain way" which he shouldn't. There is no right way. People who want him to do that, want validation of THEIR OWN play style. They want someone else to play how they did and say how great that is, so that their own choices make more sense.

    Genuinely surprised Rory never thought to use any other attack with the spear, just the L2... Imagine if they actually learned the fight like "oh yeah you're supposed to use the spear's range to attack between Rykard's attacks while staying away from the lava"
    Imagine if Rory did a jumping attack? The fight can be so good with the full kit being used, easier sure but its supposed to be a god-tier fight.
    Not upset btw, adds to the comedy.

    58:15 yeah I thought Rory you was gonna kick off you know what he's like "she's hideous kill it" 😂
    2:00:18 Krupas face when Powers changes to his knife and then again with the lighting, can hear him thinking "FFS, just HIT! HIM! with the specific boss weapon you just GOT!". also dying in 1 or 2 hits, better wear the weakest armour we have. Couldn't write it. Lol.
    And I think you now you've killed Rykard you've lost the bountys you get, so you can't fight Juno ect to get their armour (unless you can still I dunno I'm not Vaati)

  • @Mase1591
    @Mase1591 Месяц назад +4

    In answer to Gav’s question at the start, you can upgrade shields and they raises Guard Boost which reduces the amount of stamina you lose every time you block a hit. It would also increase the damage that the ash of war would do with the hit on the snake shield. Well worth Powers doing if he’s going to continue shielding.

  • @Doomchild2XL

    So I'm at 2:05:00 now, and I'm wondering: Is Powers not gonna press R1 even a single solitary time in this fight? (Not to speak of a second R2. That's off the plate entirely for this playthrough I feel.)

    Alright, why are they allergic to levelling? They're fighting the game mechanics and making it deliberately harder for themselves, despite not being great at it to start with. Love RKG, and PTT before it, but seeing Rory lose hundreds of thousands of runes when he could just take 10 minutes to level is getting tiring.
    EDIT: Felt bad after the fact and thought I'd point that despite being tremendously under levelled in every regard, you still dicked the godskin fella faster than I do on most of my playthroughs, and that's why I love these series

  • @waterfox8
    @waterfox8 Месяц назад +2

    Rory really could do with reading secondary effects on helmets. If he wore the mushroom crown it would pair well with the snake shield (I get he doesn't like how it looks)
    Or, you know, not wearing a beetle head that increases damage received
    Also think they should consider removing the soreseel at this point and removing the extra damage from that
