Asmongold’s buddy is that anime character who is always like “heh, you didn’t know about that [enter expository detail], did you?” while closing his eyes and adjusting his glasses.
It is funny to watch someone who has apparently never seen a single speedrun in his life... A professional video game player who doesn't know what speedrunning is... Or is this an act?
@@inthefade It sounds like bad acting to me. I have little doubt this guy knows what speed running is (hell, RUclips just about FORCES you to watch them if you have any video game related history). Most likely he's playing things up for an audience that may very well have no idea what speed running is.
@@Reelix I'd say it's genuine surprise. Honestly on a difficult and frustrating game Dark Souls is, seeing a speed run of the player doing things differently is sure to surpise others. As you can see, this speed runner is player a lot differently than a normal player.
Well if you play through the game as an average player racking up hours and hours of game time it's pretty surprising to see someone beat the game in 32 minutes. Asmon definitely overreacts sometimes, but I think he's being genuine here. Asmon might have been one of the worst Dark Souls players I've seen, so seeing an actual speedrunner obliterate the game should be surprising to him.
What a based commentator. He truly understands how to say nothing and make it appear as if he has thoughts about everything. Of course, that would be illogical, but I love how he says words over and over. It is transformative, though and I can prove it. He took good, albeit, niche content and made it shit.
The first time he does this is in relation to the speedrunner making himself human. Having humanity active on you increases your drop chance, which he needs to get the weapon he wants from the Black Knight. The second time he does this is in relation to the RTSR: the speedrunner needs the Red Tearstone Ring because it'll increase their damage output when their health is low. The RTSR is crucial for speedruns because you can intentionally take damage, get your health into the RTSR range, and then beat up the boss without taking any hits and doing significantly increased damage.
So as a summary, what I am gathering from the comments: Asmongolds reaction is so odd, because he didn't really know the concept of speedrunning as he has been living under a rock for the last 10 years only grinding WoW 24/7.
tbh i play most of this games people speedrun and im still amazed everysingle time a new wolrd record comes online to be watched....... and im not acting so i can get how he is so surprised (i cant even pull some of those tricks and ive being playing ds1 since launch) :v

True, I originally gave up on Dark souls when I first tried it(Went the wrong way at the beginning of DS1 and kept dying) then I started watching Lobos and other DS content and it got me back into it.

15:57 Asmongold picks nose. 15:59 Asmongold rolls up booger and prepares to toss it away. 16:00 Asmongold feels his rolled up booger and starts to have second thoughts. 16:00 Asmongold becomes too attached to his booger and realizes that it is a part of him. Nothing that is apart of yourself should go to waste. Throws booger in a jar and starts collection. Later in 2019, Asmongold will have enough boogers saved up to heat his house for a week. Asmongold has cured the cold.
18:24 Yes, man. That's how speedruns are done, you are trying to match all top game knowledge + top of your performance + top RNG in the game, to make the Ultimate Speedrun happen. They have hundreds of tries.

He probably has. But since he played this game and knows how hard it is, he just didn't think in how many ways you could skip stuff. I've seen many speedruns but i also did not think DS1 could be done this fast.
@Rusty Juul I had the same reaction when i saw my first zelda speed run. Oh wait when you saw your VERY FIRST Speedrun you was like " not impressed did that before i even played the game" right ?
Larsson “guys he doesn’t know that mechanic” or “don’t worry about that you don’t know how to parry” like ok maybe explain it or just shut up. really is annoying.
18:25 hundreds? probably close to a thousand. streaming every day trying to beat the previous record.. Speedrunners are insane. and what you don't see in this video is the amount of preparation research and testing he has done. I reckon he's sat behind his PC with stats and a calculator figuring out the best percentage's of things like the stats to upgrade which weapon (halberd) and which enemies he needs to take damage from to get the maximum out of his tearstone ring. Speedrunners are amazing to look at, but once you consider the amount of time/research/testing it becomes a absolutly insane achievement.
everyone has a friend like mcconnell, aliens could come to the planet and explain to asmon how the universe was created, and he would be in the back like, "yup, you didnt know that?"
7:09 someone in chat says "Whats the point in playing the game like this though? Who even gives a fuck about setting a world record in dark souls" and that's probably one of the most braindead comments i've ever read lmfao
@@samberghs6367 but... Maybe he had work to go to a few hours later, that's pretty sick!

So all the areas that have phantoms get a +1 value, so when you use the purple crystal, you gain a short +1 value to your area. Rolling while trying to use an item will only partly use it. So he rolls to add 1 to his area then warps to the kiln bonfire. Since you can't use this in the kiln bonfire, it take you instead to the nearest combat area; I.E. the final area. Value storage is a new thing to this game. It is similar to the way he got to sen's. By storing the death state rather than the phantom one.
@@viggecokarlittecola4655 Hello. 1.Maybe we just happen to enjoy the same kind of content, don't ask me to stop watching what i like because i simply won't. 2. I despise the horde because it's a shitty ass criminal faction since Cataclysm up to the current date. It's the second time that they've got a nazi warchief and they ain't doing shit about it, which goes against all the principles that the horde was built upon: honor. -They invade and kill unnarmed innocents while still talking about honor, they refuse any peace offers given by King Anduin, it's understandable with Sylvanas in charge. -Also their racials are not properly balanced, entire guilds moved from the alliance to the filthy horde because blizzard can't balance their game properly(or might be biased). In the current form at least if you fight for them, you do support evil. You can't act as stalin & hitler combined and get away with it. -Sylvanas killed soldiers(including horde) at battle for lordaeron and raised them as mindless skeletons , yet she has the guts to scream "for the horde" in cinematics. -One of the few remaining smart guys in the horde right now is Saurfang who cooperated with Anduin to take down Sylvanas. *IN SHORT*: *I'm not hating the horde, i'm just hating what the horde has become under two terrible warchiefs, because my first 2-3 years of wow where on the horde side, then i switched to the Alliance and enyojed it very much for the past 8-9 years* . (I hope that i answered your question and it's understandable because english is not my first langauge.) Good day!
Do one better... how about recording your grandma playing Dark Souls for the very first time and beating it under an hour and then record Asmongold reacting to her game play. "How did she do that? WHAT!?" LMAO
That wrong warp has to be the coolest glitch in Dark Souls, with how you just wind up seeing the battle of stoicism message along with the warp made my jaw drop
No hit runs are so boring. In a great speedrun, you only get hit when you plan to get hit. A great speedrun is essentially a no hit run on steroids. No hit runs are extremely fucking boring. When you get an extremely obnoxious and annoying guy like Happy Hob doing them, they become literally unwatchable. The only time I'd watch a no hit run is if I were going to bed lmao.
@@CasperTheGhost64 Its completly different, on speed runs ppl skip a gazillion bosses and whatnot and even when its a 100% run you still wuoldn't be able to do it without getting hit if you wanted. There is realy no comparison they are two very different things.
@@DakonBlackblade2 One takes patience, one takes skill.There's not much to get confused about there imo. Literally anyone can learn a bosses rotation and wait patiently until the boss does the 1-2 attacks they want, go in and poke the boss twice, then run away and wait through the rotation again. Anyone can do that. People don't play that way casually despite EVERYONE knowing they could beat the boss easily that way because it's really fucking boring. There is so little execution to that. Now imagine not getting hit, while going as fast as possible, and doing what takes a no hit runner 8 minutes in 12 seconds while taking the same amount of damage as them, 0. They are totally different things you're right, because one is an absolute joke.
I genuinely don't understand why Asmongold doesn't just watch a GDQ/ESA/RPG Limit Break run of a FromSoft game. As it would happen, MANY popular runners like Ahady, Distortion2, Elajjaz, and Catalystz have actually done runs at such events and actually went into great detail during the run to explain how these mechanics work.

Schimml0rd when did I ever say beating dark souls was an accomplishment? I was just saying McConnell was joking when he said it could be easily beaten in 30 mins.
I feel like Asmongold didnt play any video game other than WoW in the lsat decade
Ye pretty much
He played Halo
"I feel like"
This is what WoW does to you. Im still catching up to all the games I wanted to play during my WoW years.
That's actually understating the situation.
Id actually love to see you reacting to someone playing pacman. LIKE WAIT WHUT. WAT. HE JUST WENT IN FROM.. WAIT.. HE APPEARED ON THE OTHER SIDE? WHAT? IM SO CONFUSED
and that's why the earth is flat ma'dude
I don’t think this is asmons channel so you’re recommendation is for the dude who runs this channel to react to Pac-Man
Elajjaz: *literally one shot golem*
Asmongold: LOOK AT THOSE HOPS
"wow he's skipping all mobs"
Yeah dude. That's why it's a speedrun. :l
Toxic much
@@jacob_756 that's not toxic what are you a snowflake? You must be if you thought that was toxic. He just pointing out the obvious
But is it even legit?? He said he had cheats on. Is that even alowed to be counted as speedrun?
@@cherrydragon3120 cheats on is a joke
Is that litterally the thing on your mind after watching this? Pathetic!
15:57 Asmongold picks nose.
15:59 Asmongold rolls up booger and prepares to toss it away.
16:00 Asmongold feels his rolled up booger and starts to have second thoughts.
16:00 Asmongold becomes too attached to his booger and realizes that it is a part of him. Nothing that is apart of yourself should go to waste. Throws booger in a jar and starts collection. Later in 2019, Asmongold will have enough boogers saved up to heat his house for a week. Asmongold has cured the cold.
When lv 1 crook withness the greatness how lv 100 boss play
18:24 Yes, man.
That's how speedruns are done, you are trying to match all top game knowledge + top of your performance + top RNG in the game, to make the Ultimate Speedrun happen.
They have hundreds of tries.
“Oh you didn’t know about this”
Like every ten seconds, from the disembodied voice of annoyance.
the smug levels are reaching an all time high with everyone involved
Lighten up lol
samurai jack To be honest how did he not know about parrying???
Once is fine, but more than that was cringe.
lol... this should serve as a warning, 'result of growing up infront of an mmo'.
He's also the best advertisement for birth control.
hahaha, fucking hilarious@@theblackbaron4119
Guy probs played metin 2 and got fucked.
Yeah and he ended up making 20k per month
@OMEGA LOL What? WoW is easier than dark souls , especially when we're talking about dark souls 3 and the ringed city dlc.
Whenever this guy goes outside for the first time he's going to have his mind blown
Such a moron
About to run out of petrol so book it to gas station
Asmond "thats so fast" "look at his wheels they dont even stop". Arrives at gas station
Asmond "but why would he go here? Other guy " oh you didnt know about this gas station
400IQ commentary:
"This took me a lot longer to do."
Yeah he's kind of a fucking idiot
Man, asmongold really puts on an act these days.. tough to watch
To be fair, his brain has been deprived of all forms of nutrients for at least a decade.
Friend starts to play DarkSouls
Asmongold: WTF?
*OH YOU HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THIS*
Just the fact that he can’t fathom that someone in a speed run wouldn’t kill every mob, and mentions it repeatedly, makes me want to die.
I mean, im not even an Asmon fan and you can just tell he's doing this for chat's entertainment. Like wake up, idiot.
@@Unintelligentful he needs to break down every little thing like that, he's breaking it down for his chat, they're so thick they probably don't know what's going on lmao
I like just how innocent and wide eyed Asmo is during it all. So many preconceptions shattered in the face of just a decent WR run.
"decent WR run"
lol didn't he beat the record or something?
@@darr0w2 That he did, that's what WR stands for, World Record. Run could be improved though, by quite a margin. A minute at least.
@@th3TwistedLight Do it then. Oh, wait...
@@scottinbristol This is the remastered version, you can find way better runs on the original game, so yeah, it can be improved by a lot.
@@Unknowiii That's different though isn't it? Cause you can do jumps in the og you can't do in remastered right? cause of 30fps
I love how at the beginning, Asmongold already looks surprised
He literally just can't finish a sentence omg
Cringe at its most..
ela the record is 42 seconds better than my pb
nobody :
asmongold : pEaNuT bUtTeR
13:32 that face of exited casual
omg pause it a few seconds after it
He kinda looks like a randomized character in dark souls.
The no hit run guy failled once on the last boss of the last game. It was a sad momment. But he didn't give up and ultimatly he got it.
"once" LUL
@@TheMrLinkisawesome On the last boss of the last run was just once no ?
@@DakonBlackblade2 He failed once on the last boss, different order tho.
Hit by cinders lightning attack right
Asmond-I thought I was the literal god
*says wow about halberd damage after the second fight*
27:13 The only reason why I came to this video
peanut butter Pepega
lmfao
Pepega
Other guy: the ring makes him do more damage for the less health he has.
Asmon: HoW iS He dOiNG SO muCh daMAge
Asmon 10 minutes later: wait is the ring doing the damage
*takes off armor*
"What do you think this is? Counterstrike?" 😂😂😂
i'm not sure if he was just trying to be funny or if he's that dumb
@@slick3996 it was sarcasm
@@patrickimperial579 i get that but it's hard to tell in Asmongold's case
@@slick3996 it's his style lol. I recently discovered him a few days ago from watching him beat the nameless king.
@@patrickimperial579 i watch his wow streams here and there but you can see that outside of wow he's not really the smartest one and certainly not the nicest type of a person
Looking like he just saw the resurrection of Jesus ....
0:21 this cave man don't know how to speedrun works
This video accurately represents every human's reaction when they first discover speedrunning.
Mom: we gotta go soon
Elajjaz: hold up let me just beat dark souls real quick
Technically the parry god is lobos, he killed Gwyn with punches ffs xD
This guy never seen a speed run before? His reaction is so odd to me like he literally been living under a rock...
He's only played one game, World of Warcraft, for like 10 years. Speed runs is a new concept for him probably.
He probably has. But since he played this game and knows how hard it is, he just didn't think in how many ways you could skip stuff. I've seen many speedruns but i also did not think DS1 could be done this fast.
@Rusty Juul I had the same reaction when i saw my first zelda speed run.
Oh wait when you saw your VERY FIRST Speedrun you was like " not impressed did that before i even played the game" right ?
Yes
You would be suprised people dont know about speedruns some people dont even know that Twitch exist... I know MINDBLOWING
"living under a rock"
he unironically hasn't played or followed anything not related to Blizzard in over a decade, so yeah he basically has been.
Holy shit the guy in comms makes the most annoyingly redundant comments I've ever heard
Larsson “guys he doesn’t know that mechanic” or “don’t worry about that you don’t know how to parry” like ok maybe explain it or just shut up. really is annoying.
To be fair the guy with his mouth open was pretty annoying too
Compared to this guy being confused by everything I think comms man is a saint
the comms guy is McconellRet... I fucking hate that guy. He ruins pretty much every stream he is in
Mcconnellret shut the fuck up, dude.
Now for the real magic:
Get Asmongold to play DS2, then have him watch that Any%...
That one still blows my mind
God that fuckin dude - "OOOOOOOOOH YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS" like yeah no shit dude.
I just cant get over the fact that the video of a guy watching another video has five times more views than the original
Leonardo Martins Because people want to see reactions rather than boring clips.
What’s the original or the speed runners name? Not a fan of this guy reacting to it
@@swampgurt elajjaz, his comment here should be pinned or something
What? So the "reaction" can take up a quarter of the screen? No thanks lol. Somehow a staged reaction is more entertaining than a glitchrun. Yeah ok.
ByeHai ela is entertaining as fuck cuz he knows what hes doing. this guy reacting is playing up his reaction and annoying af
"And he spins at the exact time that the guy does the thing".
Thank you Asmongold, this is the content I signed up for.
18:25 hundreds? probably close to a thousand. streaming every day trying to beat the previous record.. Speedrunners are insane. and what you don't see in this video is the amount of preparation research and testing he has done. I reckon he's sat behind his PC with stats and a calculator figuring out the best percentage's of things like the stats to upgrade which weapon (halberd) and which enemies he needs to take damage from to get the maximum out of his tearstone ring. Speedrunners are amazing to look at, but once you consider the amount of time/research/testing it becomes a absolutly insane achievement.
everyone has a friend like mcconnell, aliens could come to the planet and explain to asmon how the universe was created, and he would be in the back like, "yup, you didnt know that?"
He really pissed me off, so fucking condescending
7:09 someone in chat says "Whats the point in playing the game like this though? Who even gives a fuck about setting a world record in dark souls" and that's probably one of the most braindead comments i've ever read lmfao
You can tell by the comments of those chumps that 95% of the twitch chat didn''t even play the game.
He & his chat have just played and watched WoW for forever man. The guy has literally only played WoW for the last 10 years
They must be pretty braindead. Actually it really shows.
Its gotta suck not being able to tell that almost all of twitch chat is sarcasm.
@Dominus Ghaul Oof, I think someone got hurt by twitch comments
Dominus Ghaul someone got hurt by the twitch comments
My question is how does he look at chat while doing this?
10:43 "This took me a lot longer to do" ...
..yeah, it's a speed run
*AND HE SPINS AT THE EXACT TIME WHEN THE GUYS DOES THE THING* gaming in a nutshell
Lol I stayed up til 3 am to watch the ending of the stream. Well worth it.
You are a loser.
@@UnauthorizedExpression Says the guy insulting people on the internet.
StormCrown that guy is aloser wtf
Wow, 3 am, that must've been pretty insane for you.
@@samberghs6367 but... Maybe he had work to go to a few hours later, that's pretty sick!
Oh wait, it wasn't uncommon for me to stay up to around 4 am and go to work at 7 without having some "really special event" to watch. 3, 6 or 9 hours of sleep is the perfect amount of sleep fyi. something with sleeping cycles.
This guy is the Jimmy Fallon of Twitch
asmongold: watches a guy speedrun
guy speedrunning: goes quick
asmongold: WAIT WHAT? what? wait what THE FUCK?
This guy is just a human shocked Pikachu meme for 30 minutes straight.
Jordan Cummings *suprised pikachu not shocked pikachu dumbass
@@jawknee4088 cause he got da funni meme wrong
>purple coward crystal
>ports to kiln
I'd like a Laaaaaaaaarge
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So all the areas that have phantoms get a +1 value, so when you use the purple crystal, you gain a short +1 value to your area. Rolling while trying to use an item will only partly use it. So he rolls to add 1 to his area then warps to the kiln bonfire. Since you can't use this in the kiln bonfire, it take you instead to the nearest combat area; I.E. the final area. Value storage is a new thing to this game. It is similar to the way he got to sen's. By storing the death state rather than the phantom one.
Extra ＴＨＩＣＣ
This is Asmon's first time seeing a speedrun
"That's what happened to me, I got hit"
In a darksouls game
NO WAY
Asmons's reaction to all of this is so funny and a bit salty! Love it
i see you everywere stop it and why do you hate horde so much
@@viggecokarlittecola4655 Hello.
1.Maybe we just happen to enjoy the same kind of content, don't ask me to stop watching what i like because i simply won't.
2. I despise the horde because it's a shitty ass criminal faction since Cataclysm up to the current date. It's the second time that they've got a nazi warchief and they ain't doing shit about it, which goes against all the principles that the horde was built upon: honor.
-They invade and kill unnarmed innocents while still talking about honor, they refuse any peace offers given by King Anduin, it's understandable with Sylvanas in charge.
-Also their racials are not properly balanced, entire guilds moved from the alliance to the filthy horde because blizzard can't balance their game properly(or might be biased). In the current form at least if you fight for them, you do support evil. You can't act as stalin & hitler combined and get away with it.
-Sylvanas killed soldiers(including horde) at battle for lordaeron and raised them as mindless skeletons , yet she has the guts to scream "for the horde" in cinematics.
-One of the few remaining smart guys in the horde right now is Saurfang who cooperated with Anduin to take down Sylvanas.
*IN SHORT*: *I'm not hating the horde, i'm just hating what the horde has become under two terrible warchiefs, because my first 2-3 years of wow where on the horde side, then i switched to the Alliance and enyojed it very much for the past 8-9 years* . (I hope that i answered your question and it's understandable because english is not my first langauge.) Good day!
"F" to pay respect to this man's mind. It has been blown.
"man" is a very strong word
@@sirtaylor2569 "mind" is a very strong word.
Now I'll make a video of my grandma reacting to my cat reacting to me reacting to Asmongold reacting to this speedrun.
Do one better... how about recording your grandma playing Dark Souls for the very first time and beating it under an hour and then record Asmongold reacting to her game play. "How did she do that? WHAT!?" LMAO
...waiting
That wrong warp has to be the coolest glitch in Dark Souls, with how you just wind up seeing the battle of stoicism message along with the warp made my jaw drop
I once did it accidentally when I used a homeward bone after dying in the painted world, it softlocked my game.
watching someone get impressed by speedruns is my new drug xD
Dude, close your mouth. I swear a fly was contemplating whether to glide in there at one point :D
Also the look you get when the realization that he's a normie kicked in full force LUL
wait til he finds zerolenny's videos and no hit runs
Oh god
No hit runs are so boring. In a great speedrun, you only get hit when you plan to get hit. A great speedrun is essentially a no hit run on steroids. No hit runs are extremely fucking boring. When you get an extremely obnoxious and annoying guy like Happy Hob doing them, they become literally unwatchable. The only time I'd watch a no hit run is if I were going to bed lmao.
He watched the end of Happy Hobs trilogy no hit run. And Happy Hob came to his chat too.
@@CasperTheGhost64 Its completly different, on speed runs ppl skip a gazillion bosses and whatnot and even when its a 100% run you still wuoldn't be able to do it without getting hit if you wanted. There is realy no comparison they are two very different things.
@@DakonBlackblade2 One takes patience, one takes skill.There's not much to get confused about there imo. Literally anyone can learn a bosses rotation and wait patiently until the boss does the 1-2 attacks they want, go in and poke the boss twice, then run away and wait through the rotation again. Anyone can do that. People don't play that way casually despite EVERYONE knowing they could beat the boss easily that way because it's really fucking boring. There is so little execution to that. Now imagine not getting hit, while going as fast as possible, and doing what takes a no hit runner 8 minutes in 12 seconds while taking the same amount of damage as them, 0. They are totally different things you're right, because one is an absolute joke.
I genuinely don't understand why Asmongold doesn't just watch a GDQ/ESA/RPG Limit Break run of a FromSoft game. As it would happen, MANY popular runners like Ahady, Distortion2, Elajjaz, and Catalystz have actually done runs at such events and actually went into great detail during the run to explain how these mechanics work.
