Not even on another youtubers video I can escape you trowing away puns, it's trully something I can't shield past, every time, it leads me to a pun, it's a PUNisment
I got the shield, tried it out without knowing how it works and then threw it in the trash. Now that I've seen how to use it though, I still won't. Thanks m8
@@jaredcrabbI kind of think it should have just been a magic damage / int-scaling counterpart to Erdtree Greatshield. At least then it wouldn’t be crippling its own gimmick by the fact that it’s a small shield.
@@jaredcrabb But Erdtree Greatshield already fulfills that niche. If they just made this a great shield and kept the ash as is, it’d just be a shittier version of the Erdtree. Plus, other shield types deserve to get shields with unique but viable abilities imo. Especially small shields, since there’s already so little reason to actually use one, when you can just slap an enhanced parry on a medium shield.
Its surprisingly hard coming up with an entire video soundtrack just from games with the word Shadow in the title. Hope you all enjoy! Oh, also, I forgot to mention in the video that this shield's counter hit does NOT gain the damage boost after perfect blocking with the hardtear (I guess cause the game doesn't class it as a guard counter?)
The moment I read this I thought "this dude had to have added the Shadow the Hedgehog soundtrack" and it's the first one that's played. Magnificent. Yes, I read comments before watching the video.
Barons Castle. A man who's dream it is to be a musical superstar. A man waiting for his big break, but he's just too damn good at video games, he can't escape Miyazakis grasp. In all seriousness your music makes these videos incredible! Keep it up dude!
One doesn't simply beat Shadow of the Erdtree with a shield over night... Also when do we get a Baron's Castle greatest hits cd? I mean that Boss compilation song might have been better than the infamous dog on wheel song
I dunno, man, Dog On Wheel is one of the greatest jams and bits of all time. I love it dearly. Will he ever stop being on the wheel? Keeps me up at night, man.
Can't forget about the Yhorm song either. I can't even see that guy anymore without hearing it in my head. Worse, it sort of fused with his introductory line from the opening cutscene, which has now become, "And the reclusive king of the Profaned Capital, Yhorm the Giant, he has a huge machete."
That song was better than most ACTUAL songs Ive heard. Also, dont forget about the foot on the lift and the flaming blade. Once I get to DS3 I wont be able to unhear that. Or the beaten with a spoon for DS2.
Not sure if this was changed in recent versions, but I left him on IDK in the first DLC patch, and he was in the brawl anyway. Never had an interaction with him afterwards because I didn't want to answer that question.
Liked then unliked cause it would have ruined the 69 likes😜 Blah, someone else ruined it so liked. Also, all I need to see is Barons Castle to know its good.
Honestly might be your best mid video song section you've done. Also, you're an absolute legend for actually summoning Igon for the Bayle fight. So many challenge runners don't do it because it "breaks the rules" or they refuse to use summons, but fighting Bayle without Igon is like eating oreos without milk. Just because you "can" doesn't mean you "should".
You arent dealing damage with something other than whatever the challenge is, so I cant say I see where they are coming from. Killing bosses by looking at them I dont think breaks any rules. I actually played healer to Igon (and mimic until it died from constanrly running into Bayles attacks or the wall, dumb thing took its weapons off).
@@jaredcrabb Depending on the run, some challenge runners view anything that deals damage that you deliberately have to trigger, (such as summoning for a boss), as them dealing damage with something other than the challenge tools. Beyond that though, a lot of challenge runners don't use summons for a few reasons other than just the rules. The main one though tends to be they think it makes it "too easy" because they're used to the majority of soulslikes having summoning be more of a crutch, given how in earlier games, a lot of the summons could solo bosses pretty easily. In Elden Ring though, the bosses are a bit more balanced around the idea that you can summon in general for every fight via spirit ashes, so NPC summons generally aren't as effective. They do still help, and like you said you can play healer for them and they will still eventually win, but they're not as broken. I do get it though, since part of the challenge is generally making it as hard as can be, since that's what a lot of people watch such videos for. It just kind of sucks that they tend to be so strict about it that they also cut out fun stuff at times because it "technically" breaks their rules, even if most people wouldn't fault them for it.
@@Gamer3427 Oh I know. I disagree with them. I havent played the others but a bit of what I did in DS1, the summons acted the same as in Elden Ring. Dumb as a box of dumb rocks.
@@jaredcrabb Oh, yea, they're usually as dumb as dirt. They just generally had the health pool and damage output to be able to solo bosses with way more frequency than they should have in earlier games. Meanwhile in Elden Ring, Igon against Bayle and Hornsent against Mesmer are the only two summons I can think of that stand a good chance of surviving to the end of their boss fights without the player having to put in extra effort to do so, and even then they don't do too much damage, (though Igon can help stun Bayle pretty easily).
One of my favorite channels on this godforsaken platform, you can not miss. Humor and gameplay is on point as always, several moments had me genuinely laughing out loud.
i just found your channel and this was both hilarious and educational. i'll definitely be bingeing your entire collection lol. on an unrelated note, can we all just take a moment to appreciate Igon's voice actor? that man understood the assignment for real
Oh my god this is so peak? The recurring worst boss bit, letting Igon have his glory, Midra and Messmer appreciation, the SONG?? (and song subtitles yay!!) Lost it at "somehow, general Radahn returned". Thank you Baron for yet another gem
I swear all your vids are top notch. You've got incredible editing, some of the funniest souls content out there, and you're mad informative for anyone wanting to try out some of the bonkers strats you pull in your clips. Thank you so much, your content gets me through my workday 🙏
For real though... Why isn't there a cutscene? No bird carrying you like an egg, no cheese demons, no boat, nothin'. I've never realized how disappointing it is.
Dude the songs you include/ make are absolute fire. there actually so good, you should release the songs as like a game song gimmick type thingy. love u man, keep on the good work.
started watching this video and messing around with the shield, ended up finding out spells track without locking on aslong as enemy is on screen thanks baron, you da best
I wanna see a whole game challenge now. Seen plenty of vanilla and dlc (including the dude who did over 105k to Radahn. Damn near cried with as much trouble as it gave me), but not both.
I absolutely adore the Midra fight, on my first playthrough i had so much fun learning his patterns and although I'm stupid and took like 10 attempts to figure out that I had to run away at the start of his second phase to avoid the big explosion, I still had tons of fun, also the fight I enjoy redoing the most. Do wish that his great sword word a light great sword, when I was fighting him in my first playthrough I thought that his sword was going to be a light great sword from how he wielded it. Still peak tho 10/10.
Banger video as Always Also you can tell Moore idk and he Will not show up,really like the leda beat up as soon as She mentioned the boy ansbach,Will you make a video about your first experience in the dlc?
Because it is a guard counter attack I was assuming you would use the Curved Sword Talisman. And because this is not the case I guess it just doesn't work? Well on one hand it is true it is not a weapon. But on another hand the talisman is not specific about it. FromSoft shenanigans at their finest. Also the recap song for the rest of the bosses was priceless. Gj.
As a bit of advice for anyone else who wants to try this shield or the DHT (deflecting hard tear) You can chain deflects together to increase your bonus damage on your guard counter, so rather than dodging the attack chain then countering the final hit, just deflect every attack of the combo, and counter after the last hit. Obviously, stamina regen items and blocking/guard counter buffs are great. Used correctly, you can deflect anything and everything, and it gives combat this great flow of back and forth.

Imma guess the answer is yes.
there's no way I can beat a game by doing damage to things, that's crazy talk
@@BaronsCastle What next, you're going to tell me you can beat the game by avoiding attacks? Don't be silly.
@@unrefinedmorosis5546dont give him ideas
I want to see videos titled "can you do damage with weapon?", because if you can, the challenge can be done.
Nahhhh
Hopefully you were able to shield yourself from that nightmare of a final boss...
love you jk :) and baron but i knew about you first
Not even on another youtubers video I can escape you trowing away puns, it's trully something I can't shield past, every time, it leads me to a pun, it's a PUNisment
The worst boss in Shadow of the Erdtree were the friends we made along the way.
Only if you didn't kill half of them.
Beautiful comment
The fact that this comment is technically correct makes me mad. Like, unreasonably mad.
The fucking winner jajajajajaja
Nah
I got the shield, tried it out without knowing how it works and then threw it in the trash. Now that I've seen how to use it though, I still won't. Thanks m8
glad I could help!
I like the attack but I wish it was on a better shield. Like the Eclipse greatshield or the Black Knight Shield.
@@jaredcrabbI kind of think it should have just been a magic damage / int-scaling counterpart to Erdtree Greatshield. At least then it wouldn’t be crippling its own gimmick by the fact that it’s a small shield.
@@theguileraven7014 I just dislike how it looks, also small shields in general. I wanna be able to smash my enemies with it if need be.

You can just tell Moore “I don’t know” and leave him be for the rest of the DLC. He won’t show up for the gank fight and still gets to live.
Or never speak to him because hes a looser.
