This game is pretty good for a low budget game with only 15 developers. I know it's difficult and very time consuming to program and 3d model. So I'd like to thank the developers for pushing on and producing such a gold game. Got the game for my buddies and myself. Gonna actually start playing this weekend. So far they love it.
I can’t believe you weren’t more impressed by the first area you’re in here. I was like holy shit... I just love how massive and ancient and Lovecraftian it feels.
Cowboy : Dude you are big but slow as shit Thick dude : BONK BONK BONK!!! Flatered Cowboy : wow shit dont let that touch you ever LMAO dude im dying 😂😂😂
@Toxic Potato True, what you expect for a small indie game though. The original dark souls had tons of jank and its still my favorite game. Well bloodborne might be number one but still.
Just finished the game today, and tbh I really enjoyed it. And I will always respect the fact it looks beautiful despite being made by a small team. But my god this dungeon was the worst hour I've had in gaming in a long time. Not only did it have uninspiring enemies but it dragged on and on and was the worst looking part of the game. Apart from that it's worth a playthrough.
There is alot more attacks you can parry than you think, the only unblockable is when the sigil turns red, all other attacks are parriable. Not sure if someone else has written this but might be helpful.
This games combat seem really cool because there seems to be a lot of ways to fight. Cowboy doesn't use harden that much and relies on parries and dodges but I could definitely see people just using harden and tanking blows. I don't know if there is a dark souls style pvp but that would be very interesting with the different fighting styles.
I think he doesn’t utilize Harden enough. Obviously you don’t want to spam it but it could be used more and included in combat. L,L,H, Harden for the enemy counter attack. Parry when sensible. Not just try to dodge or parry every attack and eat whatever you can’t. The mechanic is added to the game for a reason. He suffered a few unneeded deaths by only relying on dodging and parrying. Love the game though. And always a Cowboy fan.
As soon as I saw you get to that area I had just got there myself, loving how easy it is with the hammer and chisel, I thoroughly love this shell too. 🤤
8:45 I'm sure you know this now, but for anyone reading who may not know, this wasn't an upgrade for the weapon, it was for your parry thing so it would have been beneficial to do it then. Only the first three upgrades are for your weapon. The 4th (at the Tower workstation, not in this section of the video) is for the bazooka thing and the other two are for Parry's. I will admit I didn't know this until like LATE LATE game as the game does a poor job of explaining this to you.
3:50 Yeah, exactly this In dark souls 1, there's no keylock preventing a new player from going straight to the catacombs or new londo ruins .... but new players will find themselves overwhelmed real quick if they do it. They are kinda expected to go to undead burg instead. It's the same in this game. You can go to 3 areas from fallgrim, but this one (Eternal Narthex) totally was expected to be the last one. Way bigger and more confusing than the other 3, specially disorienting when trying to return with a gland in hand as everything turns dark.
I just got this because of the free games in Dec on ps plus... and I didn't realize there was a parry option until after the second boss... I went back to the Main area where the bell was ringing and I went to investigate .. then I found the parry.. which means I beat the bosses plus grisha without parry. 😆
If you need to sprint to recover Tar you can log out and it will spawn you back at start with full life and it does not reset mobs killed, but it does put you on 2nd life.
RoyalCamoGaming the first one is right By the first lever in Eternal Narthex when u have to open the doors, the Foul Censor is all the way at the top By the Boss fight of the same area
RoyalCamoGaming lmfao watch part 6 of Cowboy’s “let’s play” he went to the first area in the video he uploaded today. as for the other area, when u get to the Boss fight Before u sip the nectar, go Back to the start as if u were Backtracking, on one side of the stack/Book thingys there’s gonna Be a cut wit a lil maze, follow it, take the portal at the end of the maze, and as soon as u step out the portal the Foul Censor will Be there waiting
I think mine may be bugged….2:54 that was already down for me when i got to it. When i was trying to figure out what it was for the reapers came out n attacked me.
Btw bro. I’m so lost watching this too. I figure u know what I’ll watch cowboy to see where to go in this place. Nope. I’m lost. Lol just gonna have to run around too. Lol
Hey, I dont know if you got this already on the next episode but the perfumed censer is on the right side opposite to the start of Eternal Narthex. Its near one of the burners guarded by a few mistresses and a tall guy with the hammer, on the edge.
Dude I hear you. Graphics on PS4 are depressing lol I thought it would be the same as this. Far from it. Knowing that I would of waited to buy this on ps5.
Here I was thinking I was gonna be the first to comment, love your videos man and I like the fact that you die and go at it again helps to motivate me when i continuously die lol but yh nice work man.
Ugh I got excited to play this based on fighting cowboys and ACGs recommendations. But guys, as a long time dark souls/blood borne fan, it looks and plays very rough on Xbox one x. It’s incredibly floaty and hit detection is very spotty. I’m gonna try and keep at it. But initial reaction is I may bounce off this hard
That’s why I’m waiting... very skeptical of this game to say the least. Although I’m sure it blows garbage HellPoint out of the water l. I think the souls community are just thirsty for anything. That’s no excuse to play crap though imo
when u grab your shell to reclaim your stuff after completely dying then loading and retrying the boss it gives u another full health dont grab it so early when u have full life already
Cowboy - how do I do the follow up attack right after a parry? I’ve got the parry timing pretty good but it always just does a normal attack when the enemy is stunned .... and it’s annoying!
Nah on my end it looks smooth. It's probably my setup cause I'm playing 1440p/144hz and trying to record 1440p/60fps at the same time so I'm putting my PC through it's paces.
Cowboy: man I don't to be here, this place is very mean, they shoot me with a crossbow, then she buped me with it! ME: says the guy who wonder in other people's places and attack them on sight, steal their shit, and fuck up whatever plan they were aiming for..... Yeah, your definitely the victim here 😅 Welcome to the world of video games where regardless of what your doing and why, your always the victim and the person in right
Dredd Mau5 first off I ain’t trying to do nothing except get some tips none of his videos really explain how the combat works that I’ve seen secondly fuck off for thinking that I was it was a genuine question that anybody could answer not just cowboy
@@rambo-cambo3581 He can absolutely ask if he wants to. Why did you have to get salty and act as if you speak for cowboy over such an innocent and unoffending comment?
Can’t say I’m having fun with this game. It’s not a difficulty thing. It’s just a fun thing. I do not enjoy running past 100 enemies, or mindlessly fighting them endlessly. I was really looking forward to this game, only for it too disappoint me.

28:38 Jesus man, you were smacked so far into next week I think I caught a glimpse of episode 34 there.
🤣
Is that supposed to be that far ? because i got ragdolled in the air by Grisha 😅
"You may be big but you are slow as shit"
Famous words of Cowboy before getting stomped into the ground
I can’t believe you weren’t more impressed by the first area you’re in here. I was like holy shit... I just love how massive and ancient and Lovecraftian it feels.
I love the fact that in this big open world of course he went to what was intended to be the final area first.

This game is really pleasing to watch. The graphics are amazing imo.
For only 15 people making. Its better looking than dark souls. If they only had a bigger team and more money.

@@1who4me yeah but that coming from 15 people is why its so damn impressive
Gotta love Cowboy's subtle sense of humor man.. xd
Just download it. Can't wait to play just become a member a paid member to your channel. Thanks again keep up the great work

Is it just me, or is there some stuttering in this video?
Omg I thought it was just me, it's like it's timing every other frame
I’m playing on PS4 and this area when those red robed enemies spawn those rock spikes the whole game slows down. It’s really bad...
@@ExpectedEvil noticed the same thing. they need to fix this^^
Borna Tonsic i hope so as it put me off exploring that area. It became such a pain trying to fight them I just left that area entirely.
It's called "Orgasm" cuz this game looks that good.
"The architecture is beautiful but the customer service ah" 😂😂👏
Good one, that reference to Event Horizon :D
That's what I love about ya bro, you know you probably shouldn't be there, but yet you keep going.
8:09 This killed me. His "bro" was of astonishment 😂
I lmfao when he said the big enemy was slow as shit,then he slams the hammer down on him.
the graphics is just downright enigmatic!
Its kind of funny how differently you and I progressed through this game. I think that may be the point. keep up the good work!
Cowboy commentating is always at it's best playing a souls/souls like game
Agreed, he has the right comment for the right moment. Some hilarious !!
Hell YES!! YOU MOST CONTINUE PLAYING THIS GAME!!!
I've got to say, the lighting in this game is incredible.
As soon as I saw you get to that area I had just got there myself, loving how easy it is with the hammer and chisel, I thoroughly love this shell too. 🤤
The only thing I'm not liking about this playthrough is waiting for more uploads. Keep up the good work Cowboy 👍😁
"You might be big but you are slow as shit"... immediately gets beaten down by the big guy. LOL.

Some parts of the game are so dark cannot see much in those segments, not sure for others though
i agree, especially that Obsidian glass area was way too dark at some places to properly see.
increase brightness fixed it for me
Lightning distribution

Yeah, exactly this
In dark souls 1, there's no keylock preventing a new player from going straight to the catacombs or new londo ruins .... but new players will find themselves overwhelmed real quick if they do it. They are kinda expected to go to undead burg instead.

Love this game
For some reason my enemy health indicator won’t show nor the damage numbers (turned on) even though I have it set to always visible! So frustrating
you do remember right that you can harden to block attacks
Come on, come on, get down with the thickness
Mike Tyson singing disturbed? Lol
The upgrade parts are equipment items.

Hellpoint was disappointing and unpolished imo.
Cowboy - how do I do the follow up attack right after a parry? I’ve got the parry timing pretty good but it always just does a normal attack when the enemy is stunned .... and it’s annoying!
Just press R1
You need a bar of resolve (yellow segments above the HP bar) to do a riposte
Cowboy are you going to play bg3?
21:19 sorry I'm saving the time stamp for when I play again
Glad im not the only one struggling
thank you vro you Bro
Just found the 2hander and it's broken...running r2 op.
How do you get the dodge roll every time? Half the time for me it step dodges and the other half it rolls, is there some input mechanic I’m missing?
I just noticed whenever I step dodge there are no I-frames so it’s kind of annoying.
Double tap
what's the PC spec you are using
I don't understand why you don't constantly harden. Haven't played the game, but I feel like harden should be a bigger part of battles
It has a cooldown effect so you can’t spam it
@@stephenrochester6309 you're a scholar and a saint
