"Oh you were expecting a cut? This is the worst part, you're coming with me." Thank you for sharing, John. The run back is often the worst part of failing these boss fights. It is fun seeing your first time reactions to this game. I know many of us had identical responses to yours throughout the video series. However, the absolute worst run goes to "The Bed of Chaos" Boss fight in the first Dark Souls. I look forward to seeing you not cut that run from your videos, most streamers will fast-forward through it. That being said, I hope your power comes back on soon.
JESUS CHRIST DONT EVEN REMIND ME OF THAT BOSS. The run to the boss is long and painful (literally, you run through lava lol), and the boss fight is below trash tier. Prolly the only time i've been dissapointed with this series. I generally don't mind the weaker areas because I find the games fun to play anyway. I still really hope he plays Dark Souls.
Bed of Chaos is pretty bad, but I think Ancient/Blue Smelter Demon is the worst. Actually, no, forgot about Lud and Zallen. Completely blocked that area from my memory for a minute. They're absolutely the worst.
Poor Rom, guy was just chilling in a lake literally in the middle of nowhere, completely docile and then some dude in an Executioners getup comes to murder him.
This is the first time I've actually ever seen John rage at a game and I'm surprised he's been able to keep his composure for this long I tip my hat to you good sir
When you have to go on boss grinds like you were with Logarius, try to hit the elevator floor switch on your way out of the elevator (you will need to run). The elevator will be back at the lantern waiting for you if/when you die! Anything to make that insufferable distance feel shorter.
That area at the start of Yahar'gul showcasing the gigantic blood moon and eerie glow throughout the sky is one of the most striking views in the game, really stunning.
Yeah man the ADP stuff for the agility stat all so you can use estus or healing gems faster was so annoying to have in the game, not only that but from what I remember it also determined your invincibility frames when dodging so you basically had no choice but to dump a bunch of levels into adaptability. I enjoy DS2 but that whole mess annoyed me lol.
I hate when games make me initiate fights with enemies like this... like, if they don't want to fight, why should I have to fight them, we could be friends 😭
just what i needed after nearly having a mental breakdown yesterday: watching john deal with blood, the blood, this blood, that weird blood, and idk the local jehovah's witness on a bicycle who misses his mom so much
Great job persevering against Logarius as long as you did. He really unforgiving hit boxes so the war of attrition against him is really difficult to win. Trash talking the twin makes summoning worth it 100% of the time.
@@brisykes1261 The key to Rom is being VERY patient. I usually kill all the spiders in phase 1, then charge up my beast meter to do max damage. In the 2nd phase it's mainly just keeping an eye on Rom and slaying the spiders again. If you do that and know how to dodge the attacks you will never get hit.
@@gdhuertas07 He already met the one in the Nightmare Frontier. It's his encounter with the Brain of Mensis that I'm looking forward to, lol. Especially with 60+ Insight.
"I know what to do, I just don't do it" - playing through Hollow Knight, I absolutely understand that. It's like yeah, it's easy in your mind, but your hands make you to jump into spikes or dive into boss attack.
Love the whole baby-sitting the confederate bit, it's like walking through the city with a fidgety little cousin that wants to check everything out. You have your larper extraordinaire Valtr to thank for that, btw! Looking forward to that rematch with Logarius, the lore of the executioners-vileblood feud is pretty intense
28:07 theres something pretty biblical about the way that John slowly realizes there's somethin' in the water, and the way his face lights up when he drops in very cinematic lmao ps holy shit i LOVE this playthrough SO MUCH thank you for playing for us John!! 😩
2:36 - Literally just happened to me the other day, lmao. I tried to back stab his charge up but I'd forced him back into a corner where I couldn't properly get behind him, shockwave blasted me off the roof. Now that the blood moon is out you should go back to the Cathedral Ward and check up on the people you rescued, and investigate the Grand Cathedral where you fought Vicar Amelia. 😁
Im surprised that this series isn't doing as well as i expected. This is one of the best series John has ever done on the channel I think, and I've been following the channel for a very long time, probably since 2013-2014
Glad you're still enjoying the game! Rom is interesting for sure. The old guy in the rocking chair is Master Willem from the notes and one cutscene. You can kill him or go back to see him for an item I think. Now that the moon is red everyone everywhere should offer new dialogue or change in some way if you are interested.
@@snowblind9551 nah, he's gone through the intended route of the game so I wouldn't say he's overlevelled. It was lucky that she didn't do a call from beyond, but the fight is still a pain in the arse nonetheless
@@snowblind9551 he’s not over leveled, shut up. Just cause he’s better than you doesn’t mean he’s over leveled. The recommended level for byrgenworth is 60-70. He’s level 68ish at that point.
Is no one going to talk about how John killed the byrgenwerth hunter on his first try?! That shit took me so long to beat my first playthrough, good hunting!
I'm actually kinda amazed what a well designed bossfight that Rom was. Objectively speaking, it was the by far weakest boss even compared to the starting enemies, I mean it even does absolutely nothing for the first third of the battle. The minions are also relatively passive and while numerous, they are still less dangerous than e.g. the apparitions that the witches of Hemwick are spawning. It's here that your experience with the game so far works against you, you see the easy boss and just expect there to be a sort of catch, some reason why this fight is harder than it looks, and so you start to make the wrong choices like ignoring the small spiders because you assume they might respawn endlessly, when they don't, or rushing the boss when you really shouldn't, because you think you have to do as much damage as you can before it teleports again. But in fact, you just CAN take your time and take out the small spiders one by one, while avoiding the bosses attacks by running in big circles. I feel like a lot of care has been put into making this boss seem purposely weak without making it an easy win.
I'm not going to lie John it was very funny to watch you struggle with Martyr Logarius. You did so well with all the other bosses (some that I really struggled with when I first played bb) I almost thought you were a natural bb champ. A hint for Martyr Logarius' second phase, when he puts his sword in the ground it causes other swords to fly at you from the sky. Take the time to strike that sword (he'll leave it behind to attack you) either with your weapon or shoot at it. It'll stop the mini sky swords. Nothing huge, but it can help with the chip damage and staggering that they can cause. Genuinely hope you're enjoying BB enough to want to do the DLC and even multiple playthroughs (not necessarily on the channel since that's a lot of work on you) to discover all of Yharnam's secrets.
Not that it really matters at this point, but if you hit the elevator floor button on the way out you don't have to wait for the elevator to come down on your next attempt.
When you use an elevator on your way back to the boss, you can send them back down and then quickly get off of them so that if you die again you can save time having to call the elevator back down to you!
Why I truly don’t understand the love people have for these games. I don’t want to rage at a video game. I’m playing video games to have fun, not to stress and rage. I fully admit I’m not a good enough gamer to play these types of games... but Soulsborne games are just difficult for the sake of being difficult and I can’t understand why people enjoy that
@@Laney.R00 it's not rage. Actually raging at games is really negative. This is more of a... frustrating learning challenge. You know what to do or you think you do and the game just finds a new way to say fuck you. Eventually you get to that point where you teach the game a few things but it never stops being dangerous so you cant get too casual. Souls is fun because it is always satisfying due it being always challenging no matter how good you get. And then we bash our head against a boss 30 times because we cant admit to ourselves we need to change strategy.
@@Laney.R00 For me: the gameplay is close to perfect. It’s difficult as hell, but only in a few instances does it feel like it’s the game’s bullshit rather than your skill. And the satisfaction that comes with beating a boss or difficult level is so good it’s made my hands shake.
That sassy "oh you expect me to cut?" Made me laugh so hard Edit oh my god I dont think I've seen John get so mad haha I wondered when it would happen with this play through
so since rom is dead. rom is actually a girl and was a student at byrgenworth. she turned into that bug thing later to protect you from seeing the true environment amygdala paradise
The blood moon looked amazing!!! So stoked to see more of this game and how everything is starting to shift. Really looking forward to piecing together the lore to understand what the hell is going on. lmao. On a side note, I love that every time John goes to open a door and it's locked or something just how absolutely appalled and offended he is. Cracks me up lol. Awesome video John, thanks for the upload & looking forward to watching the next one!
2:30 me - looks like he's charging up John - going to go for a back stab next to the ledge of the roof Martyr Logarius - you've activated my trap card John - falls...."thats really anticlimactic... i had a back stab" me - not really, but at least i get to watch more bloodborne, yay
"Whatever that means" unfortunately John, if you really want to answer that question you'll need some supplementary material. After you're done with the playthrough I can recommend some if you're still curious (though I'm sure many people already have). Good job with Rom, btw. You've now entered the... well basically the final act of the game. There's still a lot left to see but a large chunk is missable optional areas, just as an fyi.
When you're preforming an action -- Dodging, Attacking, or Healing -- you can be left open to taking more damage if you're caught during that action. Hopefully that helps you some. Keep up the playthrough, really enjoying it!
Every single one of these videos makes my day...I mean, ALL of your videos do John, but these are really something. SUPER impressed at how quickly you caught on and just improved exponentially. Great job, man! Loving all of this content!!!
"Did you expect me to cut?" xD this video/playthrough is gold, never seen John get tilted out his chair ahah- I feel like 2021 gunna be a good year for him!!
Unsure if anyone has mentioned this tip but you can send the lifts back up or down (by quickly stepping on the pressure plate then exiting the elevator area) to save a little time for runs back to a boss or whatever. It saves at the elevation it was last at prior to a death. Been enjoying your play through and glad you gave Bloodborne a chance : )!
Oh - also - John, the 'fist pump' is him stabbing the vial into his own leg, like a syringe, and injecting the blood into himself. The blood is what heals you. The Amygdalas were there the whole time; you just couldn't see them until the illusion was destroyed, which you did by killing Rom. :) Also - Rom used to be a scholar of Byrgenwerth! She BECAME the spider, she was used to cast the illusion/dream over Yharnam. I can't remember, but i thiiiink she did it voluntarily? I always think it's so sad when you do her fight... she's just trying to protect the people of Yharnam from the eldritch truth. She doesn't understand - why are you killing her? Shes just doing what she's meant to... I love her, honestly
I’m absolutely loving the series right now, I really don’t ant it to end. I want to honestly watch you squeeze every possible content out of it but only so long as you enjoy it. Tip on Martyr: he can be “trivialized” (notice the quotes) get in his face immediately; and keep to his right always as it’s safer for his magic. To stop his armor buff, you need to hit him a few times then backstab. The second phase is a lot more hard but parry more here then before. Never try to parry his lunge attack, it’s too quick and unpredictable. Also look into Lidvick’s gun. You may like it.
the nice thing about bloodborne's bosses is that when they are difficult, so long as they look cool enough, defeating them can be really satisfying (I have a hate affair with the decapitated maggot beast in the chalice dungeon but whenever I get past him it feels really nice). Screw the abhorrent beast though. P.S. Combat tip: try pressing L2 when using a weapon 2 handed. Also charge attacks can have combos so long as you have the stamina to do another swing.
Oh my god I was so happy! I just finished watching ep10 and saw you'd posted this one! The suffering and frustration in this was palpable. Damn John, have a lie down, pour yourself a huge drink, something!!
Gets whooped by the big L Garious and cracks up, proceeds to mock his summons and belittle mobs and mini bosses when he ganks them. Hey Salt, Its John aand -

Isn't Rom called Roma in the japanese version of the game?

@hey screw you too WDYM the world is burning, I'm pretty sure there were more fires a year ago.
john: wtf i had half health!
exactly, john, exactly lol
All the intensity of your movements while battling during Logarius, I felt that so much. Every dodge and weave was like "OOOOOH." Lol
Same with any human shaped thing he and others fight. Very intense.
He gets really into the visceral attack, and I felt the passion of it in my soul
"I know what to do, I just don't do it" - playing through Hollow Knight, I absolutely understand that. It's like yeah, it's easy in your mind, but your hands make you to jump into spikes or dive into boss attack.

A mad man.
That Logarius fellow is pretty spry for a dude that looks like he's been dead for a few centuries.
"Vacuous in the head", Yes, that's actually exactly what is meant in the game 😆
Because they found nothing of interest, no worth for ascending, they seemed it a worthless worm.
insane in the membrane
Be sure to return to the cathedral ward and check the people you saved (the old woman, the prostitute and the weird guy) they have new dialogues
And some new items...
Also central yharnam... That's gonna help him alot against logarius if you know what i mean :)

@@Laney.R00 it's not rage. Actually raging at games is really negative. This is more of a... frustrating learning challenge. You know what to do or you think you do and the game just finds a new way to say fuck you. Eventually you get to that point where you teach the game a few things but it never stops being dangerous so you cant get too casual. Souls is fun because it is always satisfying due it being always challenging no matter how good you get. And then we bash our head against a boss 30 times because we cant admit to ourselves we need to change strategy.
@@Laney.R00 For me: the gameplay is close to perfect. It’s difficult as hell, but only in a few instances does it feel like it’s the game’s bullshit rather than your skill. And the satisfaction that comes with beating a boss or difficult level is so good it’s made my hands shake.
I should be studying but I’ve become obsessed with this series!!! Loving it
My school day starts in few hours from now and i just couldn't leave this video for after school. This series is just too good!
That sassy "oh you expect me to cut?" Made me laugh so hard
Edit oh my god I dont think I've seen John get so mad haha I wondered when it would happen with this play through
"I care very little" little enough to just yeet himself off the rooftop LOL. That part killed me; phenomenal
so since rom is dead.
rom is actually a girl and was a student at byrgenworth. she turned into that bug thing later to protect you from seeing the true environment
amygdala paradise
Never knew that, thank you
Wow I beat the RUclips notification, LOL. Love this play through John! So glad you’re happy and enjoying yourself!
Keep it up! ☺️
The "did you expect me to cut" was my favorite part
The blood moon looked amazing!!! So stoked to see more of this game and how everything is starting to shift. Really looking forward to piecing together the lore to understand what the hell is going on. lmao.
On a side note, I love that every time John goes to open a door and it's locked or something just how absolutely appalled and offended he is. Cracks me up lol.
Awesome video John, thanks for the upload & looking forward to watching the next one!
"You're suffering through this with me"
Oh, John. You know not the meaning of suffering... yet.
I have such sights to show you...
Wow I can't believe the Scholar Hunter didn't spam her shit fucking one shot spell 800 fucking times.
......."oh, did you expect me to cut? NO!" LMAO
John bullies my wife, Rom, The Vacuous Spider for 20 minutes: the video
Congrats on all 500000 kids, Christmas must be expensive.
I am absolutely loving this playthrough. Your commentary makes the game more fun.
2:30
me - looks like he's charging up
John - going to go for a back stab next to the ledge of the roof
Martyr Logarius - you've activated my trap card
John - falls...."thats really anticlimactic... i had a back stab"
me - not really, but at least i get to watch more bloodborne, yay
“I had so much health left”
Me: welcome to dark souls
John is now very clearly one of us whom have played this game before. I get your rage, my dude.
Part of the rite of passage, ain't it?
"do you have tenure here?" LMAO
such a john comment lol
I think that fight is the hardest in the game overall. Accounting for that BRUTAL runback. You're still doing great, really impressive playthrough.
"Whatever that means" unfortunately John, if you really want to answer that question you'll need some supplementary material. After you're done with the playthrough I can recommend some if you're still curious (though I'm sure many people already have). Good job with Rom, btw. You've now entered the... well basically the final act of the game. There's still a lot left to see but a large chunk is missable optional areas, just as an fyi.
The 100+ page "Paleblood Hunt" pdf.
Lead Elixirs can help a lot to prevent chain stagger attacks like the ones Logarius mauled you with.
Doesn't it hinder movement speed though
@@RollerOfEyes
It does, but it's not like Logarius plays keepaway on phase 2.
"You're going to run out of guardians"
Rom: stop the cap
When you're preforming an action -- Dodging, Attacking, or Healing -- you can be left open to taking more damage if you're caught during that action. Hopefully that helps you some.
Keep up the playthrough, really enjoying it!
I binged most of the previous parts over the weekend, and now I'm here for the rest of the journey. Love experiencing games from your perspective!
Every single one of these videos makes my day...I mean, ALL of your videos do John, but these are really something. SUPER impressed at how quickly you caught on and just improved exponentially. Great job, man! Loving all of this content!!!
Impressive. Rom, the Vacuous Spider killed so easily.
John may just be the Hunter that Laurence was looking for...
The *Last* Hunter.
“what’s with the baby!?”
you’ll know young great one
Oh, yes. Yes he will.
I honestly appreciate the longcut - it adds a lot to the experience!
The Paleblood sky... at long last... Everything has changed, now...
You're about halfway through the game's main quest!
"Did you expect me to cut?" xD this video/playthrough is gold, never seen John get tilted out his chair ahah- I feel like 2021 gunna be a good year for him!!
I love this series. John's snarkiness mixes surprisingly well with Bloodborne
There is a door in odeon chapel you have not yet opened. Many secrets are behind it.
Unsure if anyone has mentioned this tip but you can send the lifts back up or down (by quickly stepping on the pressure plate then exiting the elevator area) to save a little time for runs back to a boss or whatever. It saves at the elevation it was last at prior to a death.
Been enjoying your play through and glad you gave Bloodborne a chance : )!
Oh - also - John, the 'fist pump' is him stabbing the vial into his own leg, like a syringe, and injecting the blood into himself. The blood is what heals you.
The Amygdalas were there the whole time; you just couldn't see them until the illusion was destroyed, which you did by killing Rom. :)
Also - Rom used to be a scholar of Byrgenwerth! She BECAME the spider, she was used to cast the illusion/dream over Yharnam. I can't remember, but i thiiiink she did it voluntarily? I always think it's so sad when you do her fight... she's just trying to protect the people of Yharnam from the eldritch truth. She doesn't understand - why are you killing her? Shes just doing what she's meant to... I love her, honestly
I’m absolutely loving the series right now, I really don’t ant it to end. I want to honestly watch you squeeze every possible content out of it but only so long as you enjoy it.
Tip on Martyr: he can be “trivialized” (notice the quotes) get in his face immediately; and keep to his right always as it’s safer for his magic. To stop his armor buff, you need to hit him a few times then backstab. The second phase is a lot more hard but parry more here then before. Never try to parry his lunge attack, it’s too quick and unpredictable.
Also look into Lidvick’s gun. You may like it.
Has anyone bothered telling John he can upgrade his guns-
Ye.
the nice thing about bloodborne's bosses is that when they are difficult, so long as they look cool enough, defeating them can be really satisfying (I have a hate affair with the decapitated maggot beast in the chalice dungeon but whenever I get past him it feels really nice). Screw the abhorrent beast though.
P.S. Combat tip: try pressing L2 when using a weapon 2 handed. Also charge attacks can have combos so long as you have the stamina to do another swing.
I hope he sees someone comment this. Its bothering me so much that he hasn't learned the alternate combos D:
Yep and 2 handed ludwig with L2 is one of my favorite attack moves in bloodborne
Oh my god I was so happy! I just finished watching ep10 and saw you'd posted this one! The suffering and frustration in this was palpable. Damn John, have a lie down, pour yourself a huge drink, something!!
Play back speed 0.25
8:37 - 8:44
The rage and absolute helplessness in John’s eyes 0_0
Gets whooped by the big L Garious and cracks up, proceeds to mock his summons and belittle mobs and mini bosses when he ganks them.
Hey Salt, Its John aand -
John: I care very little!
Hunter: Guess I'll just die 🤷🏻♂️ **falls off roof**
Cookie the Dog has cursed John with gravity
