Third try: Parry + Gravelord Sword+5. 4th try, yet to happen: Parry + Washing Pole+15. It's not hard when you learn how to parry.

@@ChallengerAndyOfficial Is it a similar thing with Gundyr in the all Gael run? I think this is a decent case for savestates (if possible). You said the worst part is the massive wait time to get back into the arena.
@@finnlewis6207 For the Gael run, that is the reason I am using save states, especially since it's a similar lottery system to kill the Gaels before the arena
@@windowsVD that's probably worse than all Gaels, not because NK is so strong, but because he has a huge wind waves that go through walls. He's really easy to outrun, but he'll shoot it nonstop, which may make some areas just impossible to survive. His wide wave only goes forward horizontally from him, but his narrow fast wave is actually aimable - he can aim it on you diagonally. I don't know why is it, considering NK's arena is flat and he doesn't need aiming, but it is his ability.

There’s something about the absolutely unbreakable dedication and perseverance in this video that’s really stuck with me. I’ve been coming back to this video for months now when life gets to be too much and it’s such an instant comfort. Keep up the good work man!
Harder runs are in progress. I have just recently completed a run more painful than this one (Horizon Zero Dawn: No Weapons). I would rather do this again than that run.
I don't know what's funnier, the eye searing bright light produced by Gwyn, the swamp ass boots sound he makes when walking that's louder than everything else in the game, that the frame rate plummets whenever there is more than 1 in the area, or you turning a corner only to be hit by a Gwyn shaped homing missile.
I had years of experience as a shitposter, and this is my second channel. Comparatively though, my videos after this one are much higher quality (mostly the audio and narration). Thank you!
Gwyn's "fast slash" as you called it, is actually so fast that when using a big boy weapon like the Great Club, your attack animation is slow enough that Gwyn can miss an attack and fast slash you before you can dodge. I learned this the hard way on my first playthrough, where I played naked with no health investment or shield usage. The Gwyn fight was far from impossible, but a combination of the fast slash taking away my safety net and his slash combo's thrust finisher being a near insta-kill that is near identical to his slash finisher while having dramatically different timing made it partially luck based.
Seeing the glowing flames of Gwyn’s sword through the walls and pillars is how the Fellowship of the Ring must’ve felt seeing the light and heat of the Balrog in Moria
"Put me in the wiki boys" Do you really want to be known as the guy who Pegged Gwyn to death? Either way, you get a "ye/10" from me for perseverance and persistence.
so I did a tiny bit of math if every ripose has a 5% chance of going into a grab and you need 837 riposes, then you'll have an average of 42 grabs that you need to dodge and immediately re-innitiate the PEGP if every grab has just a 3% chance of killing you, then your odds of success are just about 27%
You talking about the decay of your mind while hitting Gywn through the door reminded me of a similar personal experience when I was trying to kill Vicar Amelia fist only. It strained my vision while also suffering from some sort of trance the longer I kept trying. ( This was in ng6 and I was never successful because I do not think 10 numbing mists was enough to kill her quick enough while she would keep trying to heal and always ran out of mist ) These types of challenges are unhealthy for the mind.
The estus method really helped me out with the gwyn battle on NG+ runs, all you need is a buckler, estus, +5 silver tracer, and hornet ring. Once you get the first parry it is a relatively easy to just drink wait parry repeat. You can even do it make just cuz

yay! keep getting out of bed!
Beautiful commentary. Enjoyable brutal honesty.
0:55 for the Gwyn Theme using only Gwyn’s attacks
I’ve been ignoring this in my recommendations for MONTHS. I am a fool. This is GOLD.
I like the part where there's Gwyn
That hardly ever happens
Can I get a time stamp? I didn't see that part in the video.
The most incredible thing about this is his patience. Seriously - 99.99% of people would have given up in the first hour.

Lmao my guy discovered an option select for Gwyn. Fighting game tech
THE ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE
@@ChallengerAndyOfficial good 👏 work 👏.
This run couldn't have been me
I feel like what you experienced was actually the same emotions as the character when he 1st awakes in the asylum. Jesus christ dude
this is by far the most entertaining video I've ever watched, love ya already dude
imagine if at the end of the run, after all the gwyns, the final boss is just an enemy from the asylum

Remember when you asked your math teacher when you would use this in real life...
"Real life"
A fun fact, i watched this on release, and to answer something that became a doubt, if you kill Gwyn through the wall, it will work.
Omg this was perfect. We need more videos like this 😂
I’ve watched this video and it’s sequel like 7 times now.
You talking about the decay of your mind while hitting Gywn through the door reminded me of a similar personal experience when I was trying to kill Vicar Amelia fist only. It strained my vision while also suffering from some sort of trance the longer I kept trying. ( This was in ng6 and I was never successful because I do not think 10 numbing mists was enough to kill her quick enough while she would keep trying to heal and always ran out of mist )
These types of challenges are unhealthy for the mind.
The estus method really helped me out with the gwyn battle on NG+ runs, all you need is a buckler, estus, +5 silver tracer, and hornet ring. Once you get the first parry it is a relatively easy to just drink wait parry repeat. You can even do it make just cuz
This is what dark souls feels like to ign reviewers
What a legend. Honestly you deserve all the RUclips clout for being this insane.
7:14 me explaining why i thought a part of the game was hard
Random dude: git gud
