    For those curious: "Vereor nox" means "I fear the night", to which Lemon responds with "Laudamus lucem", which Google Translate turns into "praise the light".
    I hardly know Latin but you can't just throw that in there and not expect laypeople to start digging for meaning, Lemon.

      Yes, I also have played this game for 1000s of hours the old Edition and the remastered one are both platinum and have also cleared the game with only bow, only miracles, only sorceries and only pyromancies. Also I have extra Accounts for some extra ones like a heavy knight(strg), scythe User (dex), and other little ones but I guess the most absurd one is the one where I have most hours in I am in ng+23 there. it is in the old one though, and have collected literaly every collectible to 99 and max in the chest. While my Level is not max, I do have every Single armor, ring, spells (dlc included). I can even map out the complete map, with all the Crystal liazrds, bosses, common enemys, what drop, how many of them what quality (I mean souls) in my head. The only thing that I don't know accurately is how many souls which enemy Drops since they change with ng+,the chest and silversnakering. I am currently stuck on Gwynn (that guy just has too much health, oneshots me and I suck at parrying) so can someone tell me why the fuck I didn't know they can be parried? I guess i did waste a lot of time not trying those things. It seems the saying you never stop learning is right.😅

    This is absolutely your best work yet.
    BTW, I named the plushie demon that sits with me while I game Carl. My 6yo always makes sure he has a blanket and a controller before she goes to school so he can game while we're gone. We love Carl.

    Lemons storylines within his own runs are something to behold. while i couldn't place the whispers at the end, I loved the thrust of it all... except the fires...

    Dude, love the super hardcore narration at the later half of the run. The absolute gothic angst of it is amazing and just oozes with great references. And the finale with the Red Tear Stone Ring run is seriously a thing of beauty. Amazing.

    This is the first video that I watched on your channel, and I’ve been hooked to your content ever since. It even helped get me through a tough time I was in. You have no idea how happy I am that I found your content, keep up the good work dude.

    I remember summoning solaire for the gargoyles on my first playthrough. I had never seen lightning spear, and when he chucked one I lost my shit. It was so amazing and surprising, I was blown away

    It's always lovely to see someone try a challenge you've finished. Makes you wonder about what secrets you missed and what secrets the person who you're watching do the challenge missed.

    if you start as Thief and get black firebombs, you can glitch the asylum demon without technically 'killing' him but still get the key to escape, while still having the master key in your back pocket for later

    • @Ironica82

      He doesnt use glitches in his runs so that wouldn't work. When GW did it, he did specifically state that the challenge starts when he reached Firelink

    The Lemon lore deepens. We now know he has a normal number of digits and once had a beard.
    Edit: You have no idea how bad the sword dance is. I'm doing a challenge run where that's one of the two spells that I can use, I am stuck on Smack and Sparky because Sparky keeps jumping out of the AoE! It does do 600 - 1k in damage per cast.
