I can't believe people are this trusting of Dark Souls. First time I did this DLC I was like "I did not summon a white phantom...and I can lock onto him, okay fuck this guy!" It's fucking Dark Souls people, some mistrust is well placed.
+Honudes Gai The mound makers that summoned under the sun covenant fooled a ton of noobs in DS3 initially. Since they didn't seem to realize sunbros summon gold, not white.

Not really. Indeed I was suprised that many players fall for this trick. As you can see the NPC moves alot different than the player. The NPC always takes the direct route to the host/fastest way in the navsystem, npcs wouldn't "line up" after the host stopped (just like Krazy did) and of course the whole combat is different with NPCs rolling on the spot or rolling in a different direction they are facing, et cetera. It's not hard to see who is the player. I just remembered myself how "old" games did make paths/day routines with waypoints, where the NPCs in the wilderness ran to the exact waypoint location (X and Z coordinates) before running stupidly to the next waypoint and NPCs in towns or structures had their day routines, that were waypoints combined with animations for a period of time. (examples: Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley, Gothic, any generic RPG)
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I just meant how it looked so fluid and non-scripted. Yeah I would probably notice the spots it walks to if I hung around with it, but it completely blew my mind how active it was, especially once you get past the bit where it's just standing there waiting. I honestly could not tell the difference between the player and the AI, to the point where I thought they were both players. Some of the invader AI also blew me away like this, as they mimicked player movements so well (even going as far as to bait me into emoting and stabbing my face).
@@Dickstick Hindsight is 20/20. If you don't know what to expect, he'd look like an actual player to you and you would not notice those niggling little details you mentioned.
SW4G ST3PH4N0 Maldron has the Heide Greatlance. The Grand lance is from the memory of Orro. You have to take the left stairs at the start, and jump down on a platform. They are both really fun :)
If there is any lore of him, he must have something to do with Felicia the Brave. I mean, they use the exactly same weapons, they use the same type of shield; greatshield, they are both knights (except Maldron doesn't wear fully knight set), yet the way they act in the game are totally different. One represents her name, the Brave, as she charges through the enemy bravely so the Cursed Undead can go through Demon of Song with ease. Meanwhile, the other one is cowardly cunning, as he invades and waits for you to open the chests, backstabs you from behind, runs when about to be killed, and gets himself helped by the Cursed Undead's enemies. This makes me wonder if Maldron and Felicia are actually nemesis of each other.
Nizamuddin Arriyadhi Possibly. I know Felicia had a relationship with that blind witch chick in the bell tower. But Felicia died on the adventure. And the chick stayed on the bell tower ever since hoping that Felicia would go there since the towers have that love story. Pretty sure Maldron is the one who killed Felicia.
Lol. When you figure Maldron out, it's hilarious to see him be like "FUCK THAT! I'M AN ASSASSIN, NOT A STRAIGHT UP FIGHTER!" And run like a little bitch.
Krazy999 I once had an epic fight as an invader against the host. The epic thing was that mauldron and Albino Jabba joined in and made the fight last like 5 minutes, because i could leech life from Jabba with the Eleum Loyce XD
See, if i saw two Maldrons at the same place. I'd just disconnect and never touch the game again. One's bad enough as it is. But two? Nope, fuck that. I'm out.
First time i met maldron... i survived the backstab since i have a lot of points in survivability and i was like... "ohh, everyone have at least 100 people they want dead, right?"
Am I the only one who legitimately hates Maldron from even a design standpoint? I mean this is literally the only npc in the entire souls series: that breaks *ALL THE RULES OF PVP! ALL OF THEM!!!* 1) Maldron comes into your world without the invader indicator popping up, he's just a normal enemy in the area... 2) The usual npc phantoms being able to drink estus bullshit that all non human red phantoms can do. (I know Maldron is a white phantom in this but shush) 3) Fun fact: Maldron is faster than you, I say again... Faster. So when Maldron runs away to heal, he will outpace you with both speed and infinite stamina as well. This is more obvious when Maldron runs to the covetous Demon and if you try to chase after him. 4) The levels are designed "conveniently" to perfectly be to Maldron's favor in every way, same goes for the iron king one, hell I wouldn't be surprised if the only reason that the Covetous Demon recolor existed was so that Maldron could gank you with it. Like what the actual fucking hell, Fromsoft!? Sorry if this sounds butthurt, but that's just legitimately bullshit.
Better have a normal lame phantom invade? Although I must say that I hate him too, since he killed me just after I killed the Covetous Demon and made me loose the ring that the Demon drops...
Strife Maximilian 1. The pickaxe user in tseldora does it too, same with a number of enemies form ng+ 2. Thats more just npc problems. 3. You sure? 4. Really? A person invades and then you don't see them, seriously, opening a chest is entirely your fault. Also you can't open the way to albino jabba without going past mauldron I am fairly sure. Seriously he suddenly APPEARS in your world as a white phantom, goes into a locking on to you stance, and you can also lock onto him. Its not bullshit there are soooooo many red flags, plus last I heard pvp doesn't have a rulebook. Also he is supposed to make you experience what its like to have someone who constantly estuses and runs away, whether you like it or not. I think of him as a practice npc for pvp. Like the one that chameleons.
Didari is sad to know that to train for pvp instead of having a difficult npc, you need an npc that chug estus and ganks all the time...what have we become as a community... xD
1 and 2. He's not an invader in the Ivory King, he is somewhat a legit npc enemy, you can also hear his male grunts when hit while invaders are like silent phantoms. Also some npc invaders drinks estus anyway, so that's not first time you'll see if Maldron drinks in OIK's invasion (The Butcher in The Gutter for example) 3. He is not faster, he has likely infinite stamina so he can outrun Usain Bolt allday 4. Maldron is an example of common PvP tactics that real players do. You wouldn't be surprised if there are real invaders that attack you in places like Undead Crypt, Shrine of Amana etc. There's no legit way to beat these kind of NPC enemies since they defy's our common rule,
That Guy is my favorite npc, first time I met him I knew that he was going to backstab me the moment I let my guard down, but i showed him my back for like 10 seconds and nothing happen, then I proceded to push the lever and got 1 shoted It was hilarius ngl
I was invaded by a guy cosplaying as him he did the exact same shit he would resort to using corrosive urns, backstab fishing, and running to heal when his life bar was low I still won but it was hilarious.
The first time I saw Maldron, I went up the stairs, saw a white phantom which I did not summon. I noticed I could lock on him, so I just used sunlight blade, bowed and then gave him hell I did not even knew he was an NPC I just thought it was an invader using the ring that makes you look like a white phantom.
To this day I still love how well this guy can actually cooperate with invaders, he knows exactly when its the perfect time to strike like when he knew to start going on the aggressive and help you out once you started to fight back against the host and real phantom
People fell for this? Not the double specifically, but the white phantom crap? HOW!? I saw that guy and started attacking him before he finished his wave. I recognized him from the Brume Tower.
+Ramen Ronin Not sure if I was ever in Brume Tower, but I encountered him first there and fell for him ... Even though I could lock on on him. I didn't know about that "ring" back then.
+Ultimatevegeta1 Exactly. A lot of person don't know about that ring. Plus at start he ic completely unagressive. so that can confuse people and kind of make him think he is similar to torch undeed from No-Man's Wharf and from Undead Crypt Like you can lock on him but he is just there to be there.
I first fought Maldron in the brume tower where we killed each other by trading hits after a long and painful fight. At that moment, I felt a bond form between the two of us. A rivalry of sorts, a need for a true victor. I rushed back to where he first appeared but he was nowhere to be found. Maldron had left me and I felt empty knowing I would never meet someone as worthy as him. until i fought raime fuck that guy
I first encountered Maldron in the Iron Crown Dlc, so after the hell he put me through in that damn tower when I saw him in the Elleum Loyce I immediately attacked him, there was no way I was going to let him backstab fish me again.
Lesson learned via Souls games: Never, ever, under any circumstance do you trust a guy with a greatshield and a spear or spearlike weapon.
Jordan Smith Especially if they seem to have a sexual attraction to your backside.
*never trust anything that can be locked on
@@KABLAMMATS I can lock on to you and I trust you. Don't break my heart KAB LAMMATS.

But be aware, too much mistrust has side effects... Like paranoia.
(Just don't go on about attacking your own "summoned" phantoms.)
I think Maldron is actually Patches in disguise...
I think Pate is Patches' in disguise.
and i thought i was the only one who thought that.....
Maybe Maldron is actually Pate who is really Patches.

I love how when Maldron realises you've figured him out he's like "BAAAAAIL!"
yup xD
curse you bail
Wait so the one that isn't you is actually AI?
Damn, that AI is pretty good at acting like a dark souls player!

He even does the cut-throat animation after killing an invader.

I hated Maldron in the Iron King, but he's just such a troll now, it's hard not to like him. xD
He's just a lovable traitor! Oh, Maldron, you're hard to love, but harder to hate
Do I like Maldron better... or Patches...?
IDK
He is the perfect portrait of a scrubby player. Runs away and heal when shit gets real. =D Damn, it rhymes! I'm a poet!
Matthew Kohler imagine getting ganked by maldron and patches, ahhh...the joy of getting backstabbed and then kicked off a cliff...

this is so evil....
That was really clever! I usually just 'Treed' the bastard, so I wonder if that'd make him turn on you...
Freke Out It does. I tried it several times on Invaders. But one time he just stopped moving and became invincible for some reason.
Haha. I wouldn't put hacking HP as something beneath Maldron.
