Shakepeare. And Bloodborne. We art truly spoiled. Gratitude without boundaries fill our hearts, and our measly Thank Yous are but a hollow echo of what we truly feel. But this lowborn poet has but his words to give the, so they shall have to suffice. Thank You.
Honestly I couldn't beat Maria in a fight because she's so tall and awesome and pretty and I'm so gay dude, I'd just be like "Yes, run me through with your cool sword." And also her story is pretty sad so if she stabbed me I would absolutely deserve it.
Lady Maria was a relative of the Queen of Cainhurst so she has pseudo-vampire blood powers but she despised them that's why her weapon is like the chikage you find in Cainhurst but that scales full on skill than bloodtinge. She only uses her blood powers when you force her
Listening to Aoife and Johnny talk about how they overcame their bullies was nourishing to my soul. "You think it ended well for them?" could've been in that book of Shakespearian insults it was so badass. And then Johnny talking about how he doesn't waste time with debate bros online had me wanting to punch the air like watching my team score a deciding goal in the last minute of play. Life is too short, and there are too many lasagnes in the oven to waste time with people who are performatively wrong. It doesn't matter that this boss gave you so much trouble, you're both badasses -- you'll take her down next time. Honestly never thought I'd be the sort of person that'd watch and enjoy Let's Plays so much, but this series has been great and I look forward to the next one coming out all week (even though I can only find time to watch it at weekends.)
Oh Johnny, you are not mates. In fact, she is killing you because she knows what you are. She was Gherman's right hand and dear friend (Gherman was also super in love with her and made the doll in her image) but then something horrible happened, a line was crossed and Maria threw away her beloved weapon and killed herself (Gherman did not take this well). She actually wants to be in the Hunter's Nightmare because she still feels guilty for what the Hunters and the College did. And so she remains there to guard the horrible truth of what happened.
I found this channel because of this Bloodborne play through. Now that I've caught up, I need more Johnny and Aoife. Time for their Dark Souls play through!
The sir who'mst is known by the namesake of Johnny hath a flare for the arts and dramatic for limrics. One doth think that the act of theatre would be well suited for ones most deadly of talents whilst the dame whom be the queen of gaming in the euro is one of exceptional nature with a body so young and head so old but as to be so taken in the sense of ones knowledge, as the beauty could be compared to a summers day and humour to be equivalent of the highest breed apart.
"I kiss the wall's hole, not your lips at all." I didn't realize Shakespeare had been inspired by your Amnesia: The Dark Decent Late to the party video.
Still makes me chuckle that they got Loki calling Black Widow a mewling quim past the censors in Avengers. Gotta love archaic language, if you have the yarbles to try it.
One of my favourite insults heard in a video game is from the recent remake of "A Bard's Tale", which I believe was showcased earlier this year by Johnny: "Is that your face, or are you walking backwards?"
33:30 Johnny that was amazing. Like you guys I completely lost my shit. Which would be fine except I'm at work right now... my coworkers now think I'm crazy or that I hurt myself.
If you want Lady Maria's weapon the Rakuyo there's a cheaty way as those monsters impossible unless you're actually good at the game. If you go down into the well and trigger them you can go down a hidden path by the final boss which allows you to snipe them (you can do this with Simon's bowblade or by throwing endless bombs and knives at the. It'll take forever but it's totally worth it.
proctorp you could also use the shaman bone blade and let them fight each other but ready your firearm cause you have to deliver to final blow to kill them
Surely everything is impossible unless you’re some degree of good at the game? Seriously fuck those sharks tho. I’m good enough to beat them legit now, but on my first playthrough it seemed so unfair.
During the whole boss fight, I was just singing the song "How Do you Solve a Problem Like Maria?" from Sound of Music in my head. And it has the word flibbertigibbet in it!
Fun fact (I’m the one with the deathly hallows/ led zep tattoo) my dad actually does have the led zep logo on his arm! He has a sleeve of band logos like the Rolling Stones tongue and nirvana smile etc
So don't want to spoil exactly what you have to do to get Maria's weapon for Johnny but you guys should keep some shaman bone blades on you when you go to get it, they confuse enemies....into thinking that their allies are also enemies, makes getting it a breeze
As the son of a mother who was a school teacher & also infamous in the area for being incredibly stern-faced with pupils - her name was indeed ominous to children - including her own! I find your attempt at a cutting barb to be nothing more than merely; accurate. Good-day SirMadam!!
Even though Ludwig's Holy Blade isn't great for Maria, it makes the Orphan of Kos fight much easier. You can bait out his attacks where he jumps over you and use its heavy attack to get a back stab/visceral combo. If use all the ruins that increase your back stab/ visceral damage, and give you healing when you pull them off, you can basically get away without using blood vials to heal through the first phase. Having a ton of vials at the start of the 2nd makes it possible to tank his damage and deal with his high aggression.
If only you had the Clawmark rune on, you would have beaten Maria easy on that first attempt with all the viseral attacks. Also, go into the fight with +5 bullets.
So a bit late here catching up on Bloodborne while waiting for more dark souls videos. But the whole Hunter's dream thing is essentially Gehrman's nightmare and sort of a look at his life right? Facing blood drunk hunters, mercilessly killing beasts, eliminating a lot of his old hunter buddies after they became Beasts, and one of his most important battles The Orphan
five-ten minutes of shakespearean insults, followed by the sickest burn on van gogh i've ever heard, has really reminded me why i loved this series so much
Hey you two, i'll watch the video later today but I wanted to drop in and say thanks for mentioning during the livestream that you're considering playing Until Dawn after this. I've suggested it in a few of these videos in the past and I think it'd be a great little series so I hope it does come to pass.
I beat her with Ludwig holy blade, sword with bolt. The clue quick weapon is true. You were parrying her, staying in close is key. Once in her last transformations, dodge but stay in close. There is a pause after her lengthy attacks. Quick weapon will finish her.
I think you both did great against Maria. She's a very hard boss, also a lot of people's favorite. So can't wait for your next episode where you easily beat her.
as far as ancient insults go i am still a fan of "you pustulent harridan" but also from Shakespeare specifically "thou art consortest [with romeo] is actually really offensive it is implying they are gay lovers (nothing wrong with it in the modern sense) and this is why mercutio gets so upset at tybalt
So little bit of advice in case no one has told you. Use the Blood Rapture Rune (the one you got from Shadows of Yharnam boss fight) and the Oedon Writhe Rune (either kill Adella the Nun or Kill Iosefka before killing Rom, which is a very hard fight and I can't remember where S*xcop is regarding Rom). These will give you health back on every Visceral attack (Blood Rapture) and give Quicksilver bullets as well (Oedon). That away wasting a bullet or two doesn't matter and keeps you health.
Whie I always love your Let's Plays I adore you for renewing my intrest in Shakespeare. After so many people treating his plays like f***ing romantic ideals I forgot how witty, hilarious, and disgusting they can be.
How do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? How do you find a word that means Maria? A flibbertajjibet A will of a wisp A clown
Down voted for lack of sex cop stories 😉 Up voted for Shakespearean insults. Taming of the shrew is a good one for insults . Also, maybe a livestream of the sex cop stories, so we can play along?
fun thing, papa Gherman designed the Doll based on Maria, it is quite implied that there was at least some form of relationship, not to mention the Doll reacts with a new line of diologue after you kill Maria.
Yeah the implication I got was a master student relationship where Maria respected Gehrman until the incident with Kos and Gehrman had some...inappropriate feelings for her that resulted in the doll
To be fair, having only one chair in the room is not saying “you can’t seat with us.” It’s “no one seat with me!” Which is not bullying, it’s just introverted. And about her being lonely. I think that was the intent. By the time you entered the room, she had just stabbed herself through the neck as a suicide attempt. I guess she must be half sulking at the fact that she didn’t die and half hoping maybe if she just pretend she was dead, she might actually be functionally dead. Then you waltz in try to molest a corpse.
Shakepeare. And Bloodborne. We art truly spoiled. Gratitude without boundaries fill our hearts, and our measly Thank Yous are but a hollow echo of what we truly feel. But this lowborn poet has but his words to give the, so they shall have to suffice. Thank You.

Something about fictional powerful women have me feelin thing’s especially if they have swords
Lady Maria was a relative of the Queen of Cainhurst so she has pseudo-vampire blood powers but she despised them that's why her weapon is like the chikage you find in Cainhurst but that scales full on skill than bloodtinge. She only uses her blood powers when you force her
“Maria, don’t do this to yourself!” is absolutely spot on. Once you complete the DLC, checking out her backstory is a must.
I would be happy if you guys made more live streams. I loved the last one. And your moderators are Awesome!

I just freaked my cat out at 35:00ish, shouting, "JOHNNY JOHNNY TICKLE OMG JOHNNY!"
Good thing the neighbors moved out last week....
Oh Johnny, you are not mates. In fact, she is killing you because she knows what you are. She was Gherman's right hand and dear friend (Gherman was also super in love with her and made the doll in her image) but then something horrible happened, a line was crossed and Maria threw away her beloved weapon and killed herself (Gherman did not take this well).

I'm really late to the comments but if the next episode isn't called "How'd you solve a problem like Maria" i'm gonna be a bit upset
I found this channel because of this Bloodborne play through. Now that I've caught up, I need more Johnny and Aoife. Time for their Dark Souls play through!
Thy sin’s not accidental, but a trade.

Oh my God, that first parry heavy fight was INCREDIBLE. Especially the end where y'all just completely lost it. I was howling with you both.
I feel like this series has become a form of therapy for you guys and that is wonderful
You two make mondays much more livable!
There's gonna be a special episode of the Sexcop stories starring Lady Maria.
"I kiss the wall's hole, not your lips at all." I didn't realize Shakespeare had been inspired by your Amnesia: The Dark Decent Late to the party video.
Johnny clearly has a thing for Lady Maria.
Come on, let's be honest, we all do.
No parring? No visceral attacks? No stealth on enemies? It's way harder playing that way.
I can't remember, does Sex Cop have Blood Rapture Caryll Runes? These would let you parry and heal in one fell swoop.
Still makes me chuckle that they got Loki calling Black Widow a mewling quim past the censors in Avengers. Gotta love archaic language, if you have the yarbles to try it.

Oh my days! Some edge of your seat boss fight action right there!
During the whole boss fight, I was just singing the song "How Do you Solve a Problem Like Maria?" from Sound of Music in my head. And it has the word flibbertigibbet in it!
I believe "a man made after supper of a cheese-pairing" is "a giant shit".
I need to know how to find the Sexcop stories!

Team Eurogamer(Ba,ba,ba) Your Let's plays are so cool(So cool,so cool,so cool). They cheer me up(Ba,ba,ba) with every swearing rant you make....

I love you guys and this series! Will you do Dark Souls 3 Let's Play after this? I think it's a great souls game.
I want a video of you guys just reading Shakespearean insults
I remember when I did some Shakespeare in secondary school drama class. Favourite insult I was taught? Thou art a gut wrenching maggot pie.
Hey you two, i'll watch the video later today but I wanted to drop in and say thanks for mentioning during the livestream that you're considering playing Until Dawn after this.

36:30 - You guys deserve a thumbs up (and a glass of hot mulled wine/cider/rum)
You guys are the reason I got this game a few weeks ago. I finished before you though😊
Two things:
1. Well done
2. Hubris
Good job though mainly.
@@krimzonhunt7929 lol I felt his pain at 36:30. I think I would need to stop playing for a few hours after to clear my head.
So little bit of advice in case no one has told you. Use the Blood Rapture Rune (the one you got from Shadows of Yharnam boss fight) and the Oedon Writhe Rune (either kill Adella the Nun or Kill Iosefka before killing Rom, which is a very hard fight and I can't remember where S*xcop is regarding Rom).

How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertajjibet
A will of a wisp
A clown
Those intros gave me many happy gifs, always fun! XD
I would suggest not draining your stamina for that last swing so you can dodge her attacks. She's actually not as difficult as the other DLC bosses.
Collision Course was such a great album
Wow. 12:39 is a foreshadowing of the fight with Lady Maria.
aoife cosplaying as lady maria would be phenomenal
I would very much like to know where I could acquire a T shirt in the same fashion of that of Mr Chiodini.
The music for that battle is amazing!
I just noticed that Bendix turned into Threelip behind you two.
oh c'mon you guys! it's fuckin 12:05 AM here..god damn it lol
Why haven't you got the Blood Rock from the main game yet? You can get it right after Micolash who you've beaten.
Different save file while we’re playing as Sex Cop, who has not defeated Micolash.
@@eurogamer Ah okay.
Same-Sex Cop must be the next character.
LOL I love you guys. Y'all make mondays a little less shit.
Are you two going to play Nioh or The Surge next??
Your mother's name is ominous to children.
William Shakespeare.
F..k. F..k. I've f..ked it.
Johnny chiodini.
Eight minutes in and Chiodini's doing lit crit. It's going to be a good day.
So it's Dave "Sweating Lord" Mushroom, is it?
Gunpa Noooooo! I don't wanna hear about your antiquated political views!
You could see how the audio from the into could be taken out of concept
So, based on your conversation, do you suggest that Lady Maria is a bit like Red Sonia?
I felt so bad for Johnny when he almost beat her.
Seems oddly appropriate that Dick Kickens will ultimately be what ends Sex Cop's career.
After the bloodborne livestreams can you do it all over again
Use the Blades of Mercy
Sass-spear Aoife's new favorite weapon.
Down voted for lack of sex cop stories 😉 Up voted for Shakespearean insults. Taming of the shrew is a good one for insults .
Also, maybe a livestream of the sex cop stories, so we can play along?
Hey Johnny love the T Rex t shirt were did you get it so kool
Michael.
fun thing, papa Gherman designed the Doll based on Maria, it is quite implied that there was at least some form of relationship, not to mention the Doll reacts with a new line of diologue after you kill Maria.
Yeah the implication I got was a master student relationship where Maria respected Gehrman until the incident with Kos and Gehrman had some...inappropriate feelings for her that resulted in the doll
How did you find the text box in your thumbnail or did you make it
It's part of the image itself.
Happy Monday, y'all!
SO happy to see your (virtual) smiling faces again. ;)
19:00, Nicely fucking done, Aoife! :D
24:28, dude. Only minutes into the fight, but...NICELY dodged and absolutely working her down, seemingly effortlessly. /props
25:11, damn. :(
34:41, smashing fucking legwork, Johnny. :D
36:27, OHMGZOHMGZOHMGZ! :D
God mate if you hadn’t fucked up 3 parries in a row and like 4 total 😭😭 you did so amazingly tho
Heartbreaking.
36:36 Wow
36:00 my god I was screaming as well DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!! NO NO NOOOOO!!!... damn man that was intense lol
It's always best when you both lose your shit.
36:28
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter 😩
To be fair, having only one chair in the room is not saying “you can’t seat with us.” It’s “no one seat with me!” Which is not bullying, it’s just introverted.
And about her being lonely. I think that was the intent. By the time you entered the room, she had just stabbed herself through the neck as a suicide attempt. I guess she must be half sulking at the fact that she didn’t die and half hoping maybe if she just pretend she was dead, she might actually be functionally dead. Then you waltz in try to molest a corpse.
Maria and Stephen are best friends
Those panic-dodges trigger me. Oof.
My god you need to learn how to parry how have you gotten this far without parrying
Because parrying is cheap and inconsistent. Relying too heavily on it is risky when some enemies are parry immune.
Steampunk Lemon that’s simple then learn which ones can be parried. It’s not that hard to figure out
