Every single clip in this video is 24 carat gold, but that jump to Jacopo at ~15:40 boggles my mind! A year ago someone I invaded was up there and I had to spend about 20 minutes spamming emit forces and greatbow shots until they pointed down and jumped off of their own accord. That host has been living in my head rent free since, and I always wondered how they got up there. Now, thanks to you, I (in theory) can get there! (Still took me 3 rings of sacrifice to make the jump though.)
@@EdmundBombardieri the funny thing is that jacopo himself told me and others how to do this jump with the little "hop" in between. You can get there without the little hop as well, it's not that reliable tho - just sprint to the end of the narrow path and jump from there, for some it's easier that way
Always been more afraid of fashion players than meta sweats, if someone shows up using sub par gear and dressed to impress i immediately assume they are confident/skilled enough to pull it off.
Then again there are great players with the most optimized meta gear just looking to ruin your day 😅 anyway, I had a lot of fun with the build in the video and that's all that counts in the end
I'd consider meta the most effective gear in the game. With armor that would be Havel mom, knight mom or chain mom and with weapons that would be Murakumo, Chaos blade or Moonlight greatsword (and some more)
I'm a huge fan of the Flamberge, Greatsword, and Large Club, but would you really say Scythe is not meta? I certainly don't see it much, but it's very slightly better at 28/40 than the Gargoyle Halberd with the same moveset. I tend to see it more than the base Halberd since the Halberd's stumbles you forward more when whiffing. Pretty interesting to me that going 40/40 puts the Gargoyle Halberd back over Scythe because of STR scaling. Thanks for the video, always enjoying the PvP montages!
Scythe also has the stumlbling and I can't recall ever seeing it, but to be honest this weapon class isn't really seen in general, but that could be only my experience
@@MrMashroom I remember the scythe being one of the big meta weapons back when DS first came out, and it is still one of the best dex weapons in the game. However it doesn't see as much use anymore due to the ease of use that other top tier dex weapons have - as missing a scythe attack leaves you open whereas spamming r1 r1 r1 with the gold tracer is a lot easier to do well with.
@@Paandaas that was the great shyte, and was pretty bad even at the time, but some known youtuber called it the best weapon in the game, that's the story of the great shyte, the shyte is the one you find in sens fortress, it's an halberd
The scythe (as in the bardiche called the scythe) is I believe the best crit-stick for a 28/40 quality build, so it makes a great swap after a parry, and is quite decent for backstab fishing given it's low weight. (Often it can compete with greatclub builds simply due to it's low weight allowing enough poise to walk through attacks and trade a backstab, whereas the greatclub is somewhat prohibitive.) The only real issue is you really don't want to use it for anything but crits, as the moveset is extremely backstabbable, and with only 31 poise being needed to walk through even the 2-handed moveset it's very common to receive a bad trade when trying to use it as a normal weapon.
I toggle in advance most of the time and when I think a hit could come, I don't use the claw grip so my reaction alone is too bad with anything smaller than ultras 😅
@@MrMashroom I wonder if weapon upgrade affects matchmaking cuz I cant find anyone, but hey, finally the softban is going away after those ppl hacked my game with an iconless arrow
@@animusdemifiend2307 after anor londo you can basically use fully upgraded weapons everywhere and still connect to everyone, only in the starter areas you should try to stay around +5 and in areas like sens fortress at +10
@@fredleoplayer for modding or general playing cause PTDE gots a lot of more mods than remastered however don't know if it's alive i'm sure it is but cant say from experience remastered gots some alright mods but not as much as PTDE but is very much alive at lvl 30 anyway but if you do use mod note that you are at risk of being banned perma or temporary
Probably my last video in 2023, see you in 2024!
God bless❤
happy holidays and new year!
Happy New Year! 🎉

@@MrMashroom Huh, that's also neat! I think I'll stick with the 2-hop method for consistency.
Jeez... I forgot how super wonky the backstab hitbox window was in DS1...
Great gameplay. The intro graphics were also a neat addition.
I started doing these videos because I wanted to learn some basics about editing, thanks for the comment!
6:25 That invasion is just text book ganker IQ test ahahaha love it
Lol yeah
I have really been enjoying dsr pvp lately and i feel that i have gotten a lot better by watching your videos :)
I'm glad to hear that, I also learn(ed) a lot through videos :)

darkness is such a bad player it's impressive
He's part of every gank I encountered, be it as host or as the twop casting phantom lol
fuck man you are a beast, the beggining of the video w those gankers gave me life
Thanks man!
Happy holidays Mash!🎉
Thanks Damien, hope you have a nice time as well! 🍻
Excellent.
10:25
Wow .
They're beyond pathetic . This is their idea of having fun . 😑🤦
Yeah that's what I'm thinking, but there will always be some of these guys
Do you toggle before you get hit or as a reaction?
I toggle in advance most of the time and when I think a hit could come, I don't use the claw grip so my reaction alone is too bad with anything smaller than ultras 😅
what system cause good lord thats a lot of backstab fishing
Playstation and backstabfishing is a essential part of the game, especially at meta level :)
@@MrMashroom appreciated
So what is the meta level for DS1R?
@@animusdemifiend2307 around 130, 125 to 135 to invade usually and around 140 to gravelord
@@MrMashroom thank you very mucj

This video single handedly convinced me to not buy DS:R and to stick with dsfix ptde.
Okay, can you elaborate further on your reasons behind it?
@@MrMashroom no reason to play multiplayer ds1, i have forgotten how fucking trash it is compared to ds2 backstab meta is cancer.
@@MrMashroom nothing on you though, you ball homie wp.
Is playing this game on pc worth it?
I play on pc and its very active still and i never encounter cheaters so i would say yes
Yeah from all the players I know and who play at PC I also hear mostly good things!
@@MrMashroomwould you recommend playing the remaster or PTDE?
yes it is and fun i mostly do soul level 30 cause anything pass that seems dead or scarce
