i love the juxtaposition between you standing around after killing the host talking about your build vs the phantom and the invader in the background being profound powerstanced heavy spear enjoyers, poking powerfully with their (not) partisans
Yes absolutely, Undead Burg is a condensed gem of level design. The pathing moves in every direction vertically and horizontally, giving every wall and every building a purpose.
I noticed a significant decrease in agitation when I started doing it so I've stuck with it. It also means I drink 1 less coffee every day which is nice.
This is why factories back in the day instituted the 10am coffee break. Start the day working, after a couple hours guys start to lose some energy so give them a break to take drugs and get back to work.
It's also about the adenosine buildup in your brain. One hour reduces it's levels, and drinking the coffee after an hour stops the afternoon crash, or something like that
This is one my favorites of yours. It has everything I enjoy in a build. Style, fashion, anime levels of badass animations, etc,. I just wish Black Flame Pillar did more stagger damage so that people could actually get locked in there more efficiently.
Stormveil is so fun to invade in, I always stop leveling up and invade there for hours and hours on a new build. That and the Academy are my go-to spots!
If we swap dex for strength here. We can use claw mark seal for actual indent damage. Blackflame blade buff gets a bit better and we can use malikeths black blade for health drain synergy. I’ve been invading as this for a week now and it feels pretty strong.
On the issue of long invasions: Can't stand how reactive "wait and see" this game is. Most invasions are ganks and even 1v1s turn into 5 minutes of strafing with 5 seconds of combat
Scouring Black Flame angles upwards and for how wide it’s spread is, it’s still fairly inconsistent hitting groups. Even free aiming it. At least, that’s what I’ve found. Shame, because it’s really fun to use.
I just read up on the early morning cortisol thing as well I’m actually trying to get off coffee for a while I think it takes more energy from me than it gives me
I have a build that uses these weapons and spells but shes dressed as a Finger Maiden instead Godslayers Greatsword was my first colossal greatsword I really got into using, other than a Zweihander on nearly every build bc its easy to use and disables most pve enemies in the game Now I make it a point to use a colossal sword on nearly every build, just bc their moveset is so comfortable now Running R1 too strong
You invade 10% of your level down and (iirc) 10+10% of your level up. So level 90 for example would invade 81-119. 168 would invade 152-195. In my experience, level 150 is mostly people walking into the last few boss arenas and not many actual fights, so I'm trying to avoid 150.
My first playthrough was black flame theme with the ultra greatsword.. went to caelid right after renalla and found the sword in the bottom of the caelid divine tower. stomped through altus platue the rest of the game with queens black flame!!! All while facetiming my gf at the time.. she was all like youre playing too much elden ring blah blah give me more attention and i was just like BITCH THIS IS ELDEN RINGGG. DO U NOT UNDERSTAND????
Weird how you do high level invasions and still find decent ppl, I find 90% rivers of blood, moon veil, heavy poke or jump attack spamers or another proc build it gets so lame wondering if I should have stayed low lv Lmao that malenia dude xD just flies into ure attack twice with his weapon art

I've been going through the game with a new blackflame build and god damn the godslayers greatsword is incredible
7:40 beautiful roll catch with the Black Blade incantation there.
dude, the coffee/morning cortisol surge thing is real as hell. sometimes the caffeine + natural cortisol increase in the morning is just an overload

Ruin Sentinel OST is the best track in DS2 :)
07:44 I love these just absolute Chads just clashing it out behind you while you just stand there
the opening third of dark souls is also my favorite game of all time. extremely correct of you

Excellent work on waiting 90 minutes until coffee. Huberman gang?
Me taking in that morning sunlight: 👁🕳👁
Love this build thematic, glad to see more vids of it!
Love these almost daily vids.
Saint won't bother stop and go check Undead Parishes' name but WILL bother to check afterwards and edit the text in xD I love it

Scowering black flame does a ton of damage against multiple targets. But only when they Aren't PAYING ATTENTION.
The blackflame of all time!
Stormveil is my favourite dungeon by a long shot which is a bit of a shame
I could just edit out me drinking coffee. But I don't want to. Also it's undead parish
Thanks, sane Ryan
Undead burg is cool but Boletarian Palace is probably my favourite opening area to any game they've done.
This is a certified hood classic
I just read up on the early morning cortisol thing as well I’m actually trying to get off coffee for a while I think it takes more energy from me than it gives me
Gotta respect the bubble chad
Invasion's are nothing without s t y l e. This vid made up my mind to incorporate Black Blade on my invader that happens to have a similar appearance.

Running R1 too strong
I’ve tried so many builds and styles and I always come back to my GUGS. those running R1s indeed
@@IliumGaming hyper armor? Check
Comes out quickly? Check
Poise damage? Check
Roll catch for pvp? Check
Its too good
@@LikeTheBirb I usually run frost on it so add in insane phantom hit status buildup. it’s so freaking good
This video is about invasions though?

Saint you use the PlayStation recording to upload? It doesn’t come up out blurry? Nonetheless cheers to you brother
Make sure your videos are saved as MP4 (check your settings). RUclips seems to hate WebM, which is the default file type for recording on PS5.
Yeah it saves at 1080 60fps. As long as you don't transfer it too many times it'll hold that quality.
What's the music? Pretty sure I know it but can't remember where it's from.
Nvm, foudn it, Smelter Demon theme.
i need more ultra greatswords with that moveset
I believe that level is called Undead Parish. Need to confirm
Shit, saint, I didn't know Waterfowl Dance true comboed into burning to death.
If this man right here thinks it's jank, then you KNOW it's bad
Scouring black flame is good for flat areas, but like raya lucaria academy. But not for open world
More ds2 music, based
Saint it’s called undead parish, the video told me!
Andrew huberman riot
The saint!
Inspired to try comboing.
Just scared cus have smol brain😢
Why do people stop at 168 and not 199? Isnt que like 150-200?
You invade 10% of your level down and (iirc) 10+10% of your level up. So level 90 for example would invade 81-119. 168 would invade 152-195. In my experience, level 150 is mostly people walking into the last few boss arenas and not many actual fights, so I'm trying to avoid 150.
10% + 20, @@saintriot , to be pedantic
How's the invasion timer at 168?
Not bad in my experience. About as active as 200 without having to level up all that way.
less than a minute
I wouldn’t call black flame good although it’s fun when you got a couple guys backed into a corner it’s like an upgraded flame of red manes
Ryan can u do Goku build
I’m on discorn
That first track was fucking fire, what is it?

What makes people go to 168? Most pvp I see is at 125 and 150. Some do like lv80
168 specifically avoids 150 and lower fog wall gankers
To avoid 125-150. Nobody wants to deal with those people anymore. They're not fun to play with. Quality over quantity.
because actually most people plays at 168-180-200

ds1 from the asylum through Sen’s is a perfect game. shame about the back half
Not drinking coffee as soon as you wake up is femboy stuff.
The first half of Dark Souls world is just the most fantastic Game design! \[T]/
Shame it goes downhill after Anor Londo in my opinion
