The Messmer greatspear also got a new moveset in convergence. It's really hard to track all the changes to vanilla items without reading every major patch note
im so happy you got better after that one period when you where kinda burnt out and said you lacked motivation in life but now you have made insane progress and im just happy for you bro
"Those stripped of the grace of the cactus shall meet death in the prickly embrace of Curtis's needles" hopefully you had a good Christmas! (getting Pokemon cards must have felt like heaven lol)
The nightreign project reminds me of the Hyrule Warriors games in the sense that it's taking trying to copy a familiar aesthetic and re-exolore a big and beloved open world with a faster, "gamier" experience. It also did some work to miss the fans of those genres and IPs in a way that i think it's good for the medium. HW did such a great job of revisiting but not recreating the BotW experience, and I'm feeling optimistic that we'll get a similarly satisfying experience with the lands between, a setting so beautiful that it practically demands revisiting. From an industry perspective, it's a way to continue making money from a popular open world, further helping to justify the production costs of these massive worlds. If nightreign goes well, i think we'll see a lot more projects like this in the future.
You have no idea how happy it makes me to see your relationship going well, maybe its because of what im going through or just because i've watched you for sometime now. but either way im happy, I'm glad meeting her parents went well, me personally i never got the chance to meet my ex's parents, they decided to hate me since the beginning, and this would be my first christmas without her and its been super tough. I know you probably wont get this but like i said, i got really happy for you, and I hope and wish you the best man. love the content keep it up, watching your content always make me smile even when im down. BTW try the berserker build, I loved it and loved the weapons.
I find it funny when people see great mods with a lot of replayability they usually recognize as being great. But I’ve seen ppl calling nightrein slop because from soft is having a different team reuse assets to make a rogue lite spin off game. If there was a rogue lite mod as polished as night rein it could contend with some of the better mods. Though it remains to be seen if they execute the idea well, I’m excited
Bro, I love the little facts and updates about your personal life, is good to know that your doing well and is very refreshing to have that kind of talk in between bossfights, keep this up bro!
As a starting keepsake, when doing faith or magic classes, I have defaulted to the Enchanted Remnant for the FP regen talisman as it matches base Convergence FP regen so more, faster, blue juice for free 😊
I finally got off work, and im currently watching the video, merry christmas, and happy new year Curtis, im glad that you and your girlfriend are going strong, may your relationship be fruitful and warm.
Thank you for the content. By the way, for that one attack that you always get hit by in the Radahn fight, the one where he sends the meteors at you from both sides before jumping up and then creating that giant gravity wave when he comes down, I think you need to jump to avoid it the best, but I don’t know. Just something to try next time you face the Starscourge.
Honestly could rewatch every one of these over and over any time they do any update to the mod overall wise. Like we hase alpha playthrough now we need a full set of the "beta" build playthrough then when it fully drops one last mega run where you do the coolest gear sets from all the different ones.
Hey i just subscribed to your channel but i wanted to say that i appreciate that you have already added this video to the playlist even though its only 10hrs old a lot of youtubers including big ones like markiplier do sometimes miss doing this with some videos completely when a new video gets added to a series and the playlist for the series is already made its helpful and really appreciated for binge watchers like myself who may be trying to catch up on missed series that are still getting added to but may not always be able to notice when new cids are posted
Seeing it here makes me realise that the only base game fire buffs are consumables black flame blade and flame strike, surprised me to think about it. Also though it's been a very long time but turok is an awesome series and quite silly, I remember having a tomahawk, I have vague memories of using something like the doom bfg on n64 turok and there was a pistol that somehow folded out into a whole sniper rifle like a transformer (citation needed it was a while ago) in one for i think the og Xbox. It's pretty cool
I'm so with you on the rogue like format being perfect for replayability. I have put hundreds and hundreds of hours into God of War Ragnarok Valhalla, even more then I played the base game which is my favorite of all time. Elden Ring Nightreign I could see myself playing even more than the 2 full playthroughs of Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree I've already done if the combat is really good.
I got excited because after playing this class, I switched to the dragonkin class and the path said it had a shadow rune. After awhile of fighting towards it, I finally got it. When you use the shadow rune it just says "shadow run for dragonkin is not available and will be added in a later version"
I haven't killed consort radahn since the dlc came out, I killed it before the debufs and the visual changes, and I didn't know it is so diferent now, you can finally see him!! haha
I'm super excited for elden ring nightreign but to just think of the concept of fighting sword saint isshin and orphan of kos duo in a poison swamp makes me want to pre punch holes in the wall
i love elden ring, but nightreign feels like it could have been a dlc, rather than a whole new game. i like the idea of dark souls bosses invading the lands between, but they could have been special bosses that show up in various areas corrupted by the undead curse, but only after the big bad of elden beast was killed. they could have done a whole lore thing about how the death of the elden beast caused the boundries between worlds to weaken, allowing beings from other worlds to enter. Nameless king: takes over farum azula (naturally he would be interested in the dragon area) Rom the vacuous spider: nests in the academy any of the bloodborne hunter bosses: they could have journeyed to mogwyn to see what blood magic was like, and to study this new blood. gwynn (lord of sunlight, not cinder): i could see him trying to take over the capital city. you enter the city and find the inhabitants fighting silver nights, with black knights dotted around the map (which would naturally drop their weapons/armor), leading up to a great fight against gwynn in godfrey's throne room they could have used this as an excuse to drip feed updates to players, keeping the game alive with (relatively) little effort.
I always like watching it at the beginning so i don't mind. But, I'm curious why you actually manually go pick up things like sacred tears, golden seeds, memory stones and other upgrade materials instead of using a cheat engine to just add them to your inventory.
just so people don't get the wrong idea or accuse me of using other cheats etc. It would make things go by a lot quicker but i'd rather not deal w the random comments ab it.
This mod looks like a lot of fun and I want to play but I'm worried my PC is a bit dated. What are your specs? Also, have you thought about trying combo classes like fire and ice or something? It would probably make the videos longer though
my specs are 3070 gpu and 7900x cpu but i also play with all my settings on high and before i upgraded my cpu would usually play on low! as for combo classes its not something i’ve thought about but i think it could be a lot of fun
Question: does the convergence mod buff the onyx lord greatsword? The ash of war is supposedly really bad in vanilla but I just beat astel while being 20 levels under the usual point you fight him and the repulsion deals 4800 damage everytime I use it on a boss (even more for non-gravity bosses but I play starcaller and mostly face grav magic)
Saw another comment talking about Monster Hunter, so I've gotta ask. What weapon do you main (if any)? And think we'll see some Wilds content, or would that not be good for your channel algorithm speaking
I loved using the twin blades when I played, I beat all of world but never got around to playing iceborn. I think I could do a 1 off and see how it does, im always down to experiment
Bro stopped leveling faith at 60, missing out do much damage ;_; Edit: Everything in flame prophet kit, including Messmer spells are considered giant's flame, thus get boosted by shield
If anyone has played the convergence mod with dlc, can someone please tell me why won't miquella's great rune break even when i've been to both the the places that should trigger it? I cant get into shadow keep.
fromsoft has such an extesive library of bosses id be a shame not to use them in nightrain. and i think the concept is amazing. its gonna be a real cool thing to experience. ofc people are gonna cry about asset being reutilized for eldering nightrain but if its a cool game and to be fair fromsoft assets like their boss library is really well done, who the fuck cares. its not like they bought stock asset to use. btw i really hope to see some bloodborn bosses but with sony being tight ass i dont know if fromsoft can even use those
I think it's less that Serpent Flame Surge is too good (though it IS a bit overtuned) and more that the other spells are just... Okay. Something I've noticed over the years is that FromSoft has a very "awesome, but impractical" mindset; in that, the cooler something is, the more it just kinda... Sucks. Look at how many times you utterly failed at casting Messmer's Orb because it has almost negative hyperarmor, so you just got knocked out of it. And most modders that aim for vaguely vanilla balancing replicate this. Anger of the Fell God is a really neat idea in concept, but it's basically a *much* more extreme version of Cannon of Haima, where it's an arc that can be blocked (saw another Convergence video where it literally hit a wall ten feet above the boss' head). It has solid damage, but between the arcing issue and the fact that it takes a small eternity to actually land makes it hardly worth using over something more simple. SFS isn't good JUST because it's strong, but because there's no 2-3 second casting animation with endlag, no waiting for detonation, or anything. Just simple, instantaneous damage. And when the goal is to kill the boss as fast as possible to minimize skill issues, that tends to trump everything else.
The Messmer greatspear also got a new moveset in convergence. It's really hard to track all the changes to vanilla items without reading every major patch note
Does it share the moveset of the guardians swordspear now? Or is it something all together new
im so happy you got better after that one period when you where kinda burnt out and said you lacked motivation in life but now you have made insane progress and im just happy for you bro
thanks so much, i appreciate it :)

8:25 storm king 💀
LMFAO my fault, nameless king*
Storm King is not that far from "King of the Storm"
about Christmas, it's the first year i was able to celebrate with full family after 4 years of collateral problems
sooo beautiful holidays
12:48 clean hit right there! It's always good to see you back.

Exactly I love rougelikes so I’m super excited for the game
Bro, I love the little facts and updates about your personal life, is good to know that your doing well and is very refreshing to have that kind of talk in between bossfights, keep this up bro!
I'm so hyped about Nightreign, I just want some truly horrible boos fight like a bayle and midir duo or malenia/sister friede/lady maria trio fight
Hear me out, malenia + miquella + radahn trio fight
As a starting keepsake, when doing faith or magic classes, I have defaulted to the Enchanted Remnant for the FP regen talisman as it matches base Convergence FP regen so more, faster, blue juice for free 😊
Favorite way to chill during a snow my day. Keep it up.
I finally got off work, and im currently watching the video, merry christmas, and happy new year Curtis, im glad that you and your girlfriend are going strong, may your relationship be fruitful and warm.
merry christmas and happy new year to you too, thank you so much we love reading these comments together haha :)
Great video! Looking forward to forward to the rest of the classes
So happy to hear you're doing good
My immediate reaction to Nightreign was "shut up and take my money" and I've only gotten more hyped as I've learned more about it so far.
The fists remind me of the golden buckets from lords of the fallen. Very cool
I feel you with Nightreign, it will be very refreshing i feel like
a cactus Impaler ? fitting
Why does that rhyme?

Clip it guys Cutis uses protection 👌
Im so Happy to get Curtis vids again, I was empty without you
Hey i just subscribed to your channel but i wanted to say that i appreciate that you have already added this video to the playlist even though its only 10hrs old a lot of youtubers including big ones like markiplier do sometimes miss doing this with some videos completely when a new video gets added to a series and the playlist for the series is already made its helpful and really appreciated for binge watchers like myself who may be trying to catch up on missed series that are still getting added to but may not always be able to notice when new cids are posted
I just recently found your channel and was literally in the middle of your playlist before I found this!
ayoo, im so happy to see u back to convergence
Ho my me oh my, I can't wait to watch this after work!
Im hyped for the new elden ring game. Ive already signed up for the alpha test next month
I can't wait for nightreign! I love the idea and will definitely play
Seeing it here makes me realise that the only base game fire buffs are consumables black flame blade and flame strike, surprised me to think about it.
Also though it's been a very long time but turok is an awesome series and quite silly, I remember having a tomahawk, I have vague memories of using something like the doom bfg on n64 turok and there was a pistol that somehow folded out into a whole sniper rifle like a transformer (citation needed it was a while ago) in one for i think the og Xbox. It's pretty cool

Elden Ring Nightreign I could see myself playing even more than the 2 full playthroughs of Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree I've already done if the combat is really good.
Anyone else notice that the Dancing Lion fight was straight out of the trailer?
I got excited because after playing this class, I switched to the dragonkin class and the path said it had a shadow rune. After awhile of fighting towards it, I finally got it. When you use the shadow rune it just says "shadow run for dragonkin is not available and will be added in a later version"
You dont need to do Mogh and Radahn to teleport to shadow realm in Convergence
no, but you do need to, to get into shadow keep
I haven't killed consort radahn since the dlc came out, I killed it before the debufs and the visual changes, and I didn't know it is so diferent now, you can finally see him!! haha
i love so much your videos, continue please, i enjoy every single video, its just chill asf (and im learning english with you so its continue pls pls)
The rain of fire buff in the base game was already good enough to make it a B-A tier spell. Convergence turns it into a carpet bomb.
That was terrifying 12:34
My favorite way to spend a 15 at the co
Amen brother
LMFAO
Thanks for the sick content as usual pop off superstar
Veteran players: Backstep has no Iframes.
The gargoyle: 25:16
curtis i love you bro pls never die
so ready for nightreign. i hope it isnt all open world and there are some procedural dungeons too
When I said “your adding more fuel to the fire,” I was joking…
I hope you like the madness run when you do it
I'm super excited for elden ring nightreign but to just think of the concept of fighting sword saint isshin and orphan of kos duo in a poison swamp makes me want to pre punch holes in the wall
All hail the mighty Serpent Flame surge, all hail, all hail the boss deleter, all hail the souls game easy mode!
I also am hyped for elden ring night reign I just hope they execute the game correctly but overall I looking forward to it
Hope this gets finished this year so I can finally go and complete everything before using the mod
still mad you got more hits out of the packs than i did
Yes other Convergence videoooo🎉🎉
What a beautiful ending. Idk y but I like doing that on purpose on some bosses.
i love elden ring, but nightreign feels like it could have been a dlc, rather than a whole new game.
i like the idea of dark souls bosses invading the lands between, but they could have been special bosses that show up in various areas corrupted by the undead curse, but only after the big bad of elden beast was killed.
they could have done a whole lore thing about how the death of the elden beast caused the boundries between worlds to weaken, allowing beings from other worlds to enter.
Nameless king: takes over farum azula (naturally he would be interested in the dragon area)
Rom the vacuous spider: nests in the academy
any of the bloodborne hunter bosses: they could have journeyed to mogwyn to see what blood magic was like, and to study this new blood.
gwynn (lord of sunlight, not cinder): i could see him trying to take over the capital city. you enter the city and find the inhabitants fighting silver nights, with black knights dotted around the map (which would naturally drop their weapons/armor), leading up to a great fight against gwynn in godfrey's throne room
they could have used this as an excuse to drip feed updates to players, keeping the game alive with (relatively) little effort.
Question: Do record/play the run in one sitting, or do you do it in parts?
sometimes i do it in one sitting other times i do it in parts, this one was done in 3 different parts on 3 different nights.
Omg babe wake up Curtis uploaded…
wanna cactus and chill?
Oh this is gonna be great !
Wish there was a Demon's Scar in the game, especially since we now have catalyst weapons lol
I may have to grab the Flame Prophet spells.
I always like watching it at the beginning so i don't mind. But, I'm curious why you actually manually go pick up things like sacred tears, golden seeds, memory stones and other upgrade materials instead of using a cheat engine to just add them to your inventory.
just so people don't get the wrong idea or accuse me of using other cheats etc. It would make things go by a lot quicker but i'd rather not deal w the random comments ab it.
Love from a Rusty and Vaush fan!
i love you curtis i hope you’re doing good
i'm doing great, i hope you're doing good as well!
This build cooks!
awww i’m glad you and your gf had a nice christmas together! reminds me of my own with my partner :) good times
Was there anything about silk song in the game awards?
sadly no, hoping for news soon
We need a new frenzy flame build!
8:19 that’s a Dude 🙏😭

I think you'd enjoy playing monster hunter.
World is still amazing and Wilds is coming out in February
I loved monster hunter world so im very much looking forward to wilds!
It's been less than a week yoooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!
This mod is the sole reason I wanna get a pc
Question: does the convergence mod buff the onyx lord greatsword?

it’s very possible because they tweak everything
@@curtisthecactus thanks (just obliterated morgott with it) love your convergence videos
Nameless king in Elden Ring FROMSOFT I LOVE YOU
DIVINE SKELETON BLAST
I felt that Mohg kill:D
No Dev from the original Witcher Games are still on board, would you stream it for us?
yeah i'd be down, that's something i've been considering for a while now. streaming the games that aren't souls
sup dude - do u stream on twitch
i do not currently!
We are so back!
Saw another comment talking about Monster Hunter, so I've gotta ask. What weapon do you main (if any)? And think we'll see some Wilds content, or would that not be good for your channel algorithm speaking
I loved using the twin blades when I played, I beat all of world but never got around to playing iceborn. I think I could do a 1 off and see how it does, im always down to experiment
@ Hell yeah, hope it goes well. You really should play Iceborne btw if you have time for it, it’s the best part of the game by a huge margin
OMGGGGG ITS CACTUSSSS
The part that I don't like with anger of fell God it hits walls and terrain more than hitting the target
elden ring nightreigns could be gow: valhalla but better
sooo i truly have great hopes
Not sure if i missed it but… why no use messmers spear :(
this is proof elden ring players can get girlfriends
Bro stopped leveling faith at 60, missing out do much damage ;_;
Edit: Everything in flame prophet kit, including Messmer spells are considered giant's flame, thus get boosted by shield
If anyone has played the convergence mod with dlc, can someone please tell me why won't miquella's great rune break even when i've been to both the the places that should trigger it? I cant get into shadow keep.
you have to kill both radahn and mohg in order for it to trigger!
Bro where’s the messmer spear?😂
Just asking but what's your favourite pokemon?
my favourite is cacnea, i am a cactus after all.
@@curtisthecactus Fair enough, Personally I love smeargle
Please play Tails of Iron if you can

i broke up with my girlfriend three days after new year, not feeling too good, your video helps to distract me from reality, keep it up :)
oh, i'm sorry to hear that, just know things will get better! i'm rooting for you!!
I broke up with fiancé of six years not too long ago don’t worry it gets better
Sometimes you have to make hard decisions and move on to make you a better you
your girlfriends sounds nice glad your happy :)
