Shen: "It's kinda like the Maria fight, where you learn to fight it by dancing with her. I know that sounds lame as all fuck, but y'know." That _sounds_ badass.
So.... i've been watching Shenpai. and never, NEVER i have ever watched someone goes so T H I R S T Y on almost every game she has played. its so glorious.
Shen hit the Catacombs looking exactly like every first-time player once they learn about transposing. Got my edgy armor, my anime dancing sword. Let's do this.
The dancer fight is incredible. The first few attempts you kept in step with her and 'danced' around the room. So she wasn't very aggressive. Then you started to get more aggressive and stopped 'dancing' so she became more aggressive too

And you both are constantly repositioning in time to the waltz since the devs designed her walking and sttacking animations to fit in with the 6/8 time signature. This unique timing for her animations is typically what throws people off when they are looking for attack opportunities, since her recovery frames are on different parts of the bar than we are used to
Man, the memories I have of this game. First ever time I got to the crabs I got invaded by two players while I was fighting the watchdog npcs, and I beat all of them. That was the most euphoric feeling I've ever had and nothing has topped it since
No, you’re fine with loving the elite knight armor, I’m pretty much the same way and elite knight is by far my favorite. Also Anri is wife in a literal way as well
Fun Fact: you can make your horrid trip through DS3's poison swamp less hell by using a dagger's weapon art (a super hop) to zoop your way across. And the best part is that you dont lose the zooping even after you use up all of your blue bar!

Its incredible how far you've progressed in these games Shen. When you did Demon Souls I remember laughing at all your deaths, but now im just impressed that you nearly got to Vort of the Boreal Valley without dying at all.
To be fair, Vordt is one of the easiest bosses in the game. For someone who's at least somewhat experienced with ds games, he shouldn't be an issue at all
@@Terkiaz True, but its less about the boss and more about getting him. When you haven't gotten through Lothric before it can be a bit of a bitch. Plus she killed the mimic first try, didn't fall prey to the drake, and killed one of the mutated hollows without too much issue. Its impressive for someone not used to DS3 yet.
Admiral yes impressive idk, once you’ve gotten a feel for the dark souls series the area is honestly no harder than a tutorial level, plus she’s played blood borne meaning she’s used to the heavy reaction time requirement increase compared to ds1 and 2
Are ppl really trying to convince the OP to be less impressed by Shens feats? How wierd that you guys really feel it necessary to diminish the gravity of her achievements in the eyes of a fellow viewer. Just enjoy the vid
The fact that she managed to defeat the transformed hollow with all the black snake things coming out without using fire bombs and without dying is incredibly impressive, let alone the rest of the stuff where she dies so little.

Fun fact! Wrt chat’s “off-tempo” comment, every single enemy in dark souls iii telegraphs and then attacks in perfect 4:4 musical time, *except* for the Dancer of the Boreal Valley, whose swings are on 3:4 time.
While that works as a decent metaphor, it doesn’t make any sense to say that an enemy telegraphs in 4/4 vs 3/4 unless it is a rhythm game where enemies match the music exactly. Given that Dark Souls uses AI-based bosses that don’t give any sort of strong beat vs weak beak, their attack patterns will rarely match any particular time signature. A better musical description would be using stylistic adjectives. The Dancer, unsurprisingly, moves in a manner that could fit a waltz, with heavily emphasized downbeats in her repeated spin and flowing nature. Bosses like Iudex and Champion Gundyr, on the other hand, move succinctly and pointedly with flashy strikes, loosely matching the style of a march or fanfare. Source: I am a music education major
After Dark Souls 3 I started having this recurring dream where I'd find Anor Londo in every game I played. Every dream would be a different game, and every time I'd climb up something and there would be Anor Londo.

yall need to understand that Dark Souls questlines are cryptic as all hell, I legitimately had to use a guide to find out where the fuck they even continued on my second playthrough. Why act like you OBVIOUSLY found this all in your first playthrough 😶
Watching your love for the Soulsborne franchise grow has been such a wonderful experience. I've loved every minute of every video you've done. It's different than the regular funnies, FFXIV and simping, but so enjoyable
Shen: "THE DOGS ARE PURE EVIL IN THESE GAMES I HATE THEM!!!" Me: You have no idea. They've also been coded to teleport right to your location if you happen to try to run away from them while they're aggro-ed. Edit: On an unrelated note, "You are made out of anime, and I am made out of death!" is now my very-most-favorite Shen quote of all time.
To be more specific, they are fast enough that they break the game’s normal method of reducing off-screen resource costs, causing them to teleport to your location. Bastards are such a pain they break the game.
I swear everyone loves the Abyss Watchers and is spooked by Yhorm. When I played for the first time I was like "Ah, yes. Once again I'm fighting in the playground while completely out numbered, and papa is holding a machete over in the distance. I feel so young and powerful again!"
Well Patches does not deserve it any other way lmao Killed him everytime in DS1 before he even had the chance to do his shenanigans (I have NO IDEA if that's spelled right don't throw stones pls)
These games being depression incarnate is kind of the reason why I like them; they remind me that no matter how much I might be struggling in life, I'm never truly alone
Finally got around to playing Dark Souls 3 and being able to watch this video and understand EXACTLY what she's feeling when she finds something new is so amazing
I can't get over Shen defeating yhorm at 1:11:18 it literally looks like she jumps over the blade and at the climactic final swing collides swords with the giant and over powers him and it's so fast too it's amazing
Anri is definitely my favourite character (although i am biased since i have a crush on both variants of them) so it's nice to see shen shares my taste
I love that every time someone plays Dark Souls 3 for the first time, everyone wears the Fallen Knight armor and uses the Farron GS, both of them are just so unarguably cool that it's impossible not to use them lol
@@telhelki8338 I’m not good at these games but I picked up sekiro and I’m having a lot of fun I want to invest getting good at these games cuz they’ve always seemed so fun to me and I’m getting elden ring no matter how hard it will be.
Most people when they play souls games: "this is epic and mysterious, i wonder what dark things await me down the road" Shenpai: "I'VE NEVER BEEN SO TURNED ON IN MY LIFE!"
DS3 was my first souls and I immediately resound to a spiritual level with the demon greataxe. I beat every single boss with it starting with the abyss watchers, and yes Friede was a bitch but I tanked and traded so it was over in less than a minute
Watching Shen fall in love with the Fallen Knight set and the Farron Greatsword is such nostalgia. PvP meta really made this game feel like a spreadsheet to me sometimes, so I'm glad I get to watch her have so much fun with my first loves. Now I fuck with the Aquamarine Dagger
The whole time I was like "how is Shen so fucking good at this game?" and then she got to the part at 46:15 that I farmed for souls because it was so easy and... well... different strokes.
I typically farmed at profraned capital. If you are efficient enough you can kill all the mobs around Yhorm's arena in about 5min roughly and get about 50k souls per run (10k souls a minute is pretty nice) I managed to farm up to roughly 2mil souls in just over an hour. My char was super overlevelled for most content after that sitting pretty at around lv130+ is base ng.
@@Rikkity Why would you want to play like that though? Unless this wasn’t a first playthrough but if it was that sounds like it would ruin the whole experience.
How to know you're gay: [Sees sexy armor] [Sexy armor speaks] [Female voice resounds from sexy armor] "WIFE" I did the same exact thing lmao. This is such a fun video to binge. I love that you went through this entire series.
The main reason I hate Aldrich is because the person that was sticking out of the blob was my favorite character Gwyndolin. Aldrich ate Gwyndolin and to this day I’ll forever despise and hate Aldrich for that
I love how she plays this compared to when she played Demon Souls. She was confused and scared of every enemy in demon souls, now she’s literally chasing down enemies to fight them.
My introduction to Dark Souls was The Science Of video talking about music theory and how the Dancer of The Boreal Valley's soundtrack works, so she will forever be my favorite boss just for that reason alone.
Yaaaaas! I’ve been waiting for this video to come out! This was the first souls game that I completed and it will always hold a special place in my heart
This popped up in my suggested and I was like, wait who is Shenpai, and why is this video an hour and a half? Well... shit there goes an hour of my life dear GOD I love this person LOLLL
Hey still watching the vods of this still so this gives me moments to look forward to. Also o never got to thank you again before I left stream for the kind words and the support about my sister I genuinely had tears in my eyes thank you all so much!!
I'm glad you enjoyed Yhorm's fight. You're one of the few people I could find that like him too. His boss fight may be too easy for a Lord of Cinder, but I love his character design and back story.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who instantly came when they tried the Farron Greatsword Two-Handed Combo, it's so God damn Extra and I still love it to this day!
I'm glad you also fell in love with the awesomeness that is the Farron Greatsword. It's my favorite weapon in 3 by a wide margin, it's so fun to play with.
I find it hilarious it was this video that made me want to take another shot at playing Dark Souls and now I'm an addict! So way to go Shen you made another armor lover outta me
Shen you're an inspiration to continue my soulsborne playthroughs I stopped midway. Also, if it makes you feel any better I totally messed up the Greirat quest the same way you did and messed up the events. Don't feel too bad about it!
Seeing shenpai with only a +2 estus in the second to last boss of the main game hurt me more than all of my experiences with the souls games combined...
I love that despite 5 games of the souls series, Shen still hasn't unlocked [Secret Technique, Roll to the Right Side of Boss for Every Attack Dodge] Every time she rolls AWAY from the boss I just have to shake my head and go 'Oh no, sweetie' and watch her STILL get hit by the attack combos.

Watching Shen fall in love with the Fallen Knight set and the Farron Greatsword is such nostalgia. PvP meta really made this game feel like a spreadsheet to me sometimes, so I'm glad I get to watch her have so much fun with my first loves.
Now I fuck with the Aquamarine Dagger
The whole time I was like "how is Shen so fucking good at this game?" and then she got to the part at 46:15 that I farmed for souls because it was so easy and... well... different strokes.
Hey man, those Pontiff knights are no joke.
God dammit those knights felt like I’d suddenly gone from the undead burg straight to anor londo with no warning lmao
@songbird 64 at least they're like glass cannons. Or Ice cannons I guess....
I typically farmed at profraned capital. If you are efficient enough you can kill all the mobs around Yhorm's arena in about 5min roughly and get about 50k souls per run (10k souls a minute is pretty nice) I managed to farm up to roughly 2mil souls in just over an hour. My char was super overlevelled for most content after that sitting pretty at around lv130+ is base ng.
@@Rikkity Why would you want to play like that though? Unless this wasn’t a first playthrough but if it was that sounds like it would ruin the whole experience.
How to know you're gay:

"WIFE"
I did the same exact thing lmao. This is such a fun video to binge. I love that you went through this entire series.
love this
@@ShakeNB1ake im mtf aswell
@@ShakeNB1ake im also bi and preferr women lol
What?
@Duckervert don't have to. 275 people get it.
God you gotta love Siegward's boundless enthusiasm. Stuck naked in a well? "Hello! :D"
33:56 this was the most mesmerizing thing to watch on stream. I'm glad it got a feature !
Great Video !
The main reason I hate Aldrich is because the person that was sticking out of the blob was my favorite character Gwyndolin. Aldrich ate Gwyndolin and to this day I’ll forever despise and hate Aldrich for that
Out of all the Firekeepers DS3's is my fave, I just want her to be okay and have as pleasant a day as can be had, ya know?
I love how you reacted so viscerally to all of the screaming, but the final one, you're just like: "yes, and?"
YESSSS, The Souls has claimed em completely. From the beginning to the end. I hecking love this.
THE STORY OF YORM AND SIGWARD STILL BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYES
HELP CAPS LOCK IS STUCK!!!!!
I love how she plays this compared to when she played Demon Souls. She was confused and scared of every enemy in demon souls, now she’s literally chasing down enemies to fight them.
Got to love character development.
To be fair the she's still scared and confused but attacks first.
Shen's SoulsBorne runs have inspired me to go back through this series to solo as much of the bosses as i can.
Oh, I can't wait for her to find (be told about) the hidden/optional areas and bosses. I can still feel the emotional scars from Archdragon Peak...
Nameless King will always give me PTSD
My introduction to Dark Souls was The Science Of video talking about music theory and how the Dancer of The Boreal Valley's soundtrack works, so she will forever be my favorite boss just for that reason alone.
I love how Souls-Shen character development goes in this series
This has made me realise how much I missed playing this game
Yaaaaas! I’ve been waiting for this video to come out! This was the first souls game that I completed and it will always hold a special place in my heart
This popped up in my suggested and I was like, wait who is Shenpai, and why is this video an hour and a half?
Well... shit there goes an hour of my life dear GOD I love this person LOLLL
YAASSS She has been consumed into the Dark Souls community completely....
let us celebrate this soulfully well! :)
Praise the Ashenpai One!
I'll bring the Siegbräu :D
Fear not the Dark my friend, and let the feast begin
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this and I just now caught why the music at 19:40 was so familiar.... MALO MART....
Shen is really lucky to have started the souls pilgrimage so close to elden ring's launch
Oh shit i haven't even started to save money to buy the games
@@zenmode3125 the pirate's way is always an option ;)
59:15 giving backshots a whole new meaning
We know what comes next. The dynasty of difficulty, the pinnacle of parries, the smasher of spirits. Sekiro.
The abyss watchers are my fav boss in ds3 and that have my fav cut scene and fav gesture I love them. Oh and fav weapon
Hey still watching the vods of this still so this gives me moments to look forward to. Also o never got to thank you again before I left stream for the kind words and the support about my sister I genuinely had tears in my eyes thank you all so much!!
I hope she is ok whatever happened to her (yes i am still watching)
@@pokeymaster9415 thank you I hope so to
I'm glad you enjoyed Yhorm's fight. You're one of the few people I could find that like him too. His boss fight may be too easy for a Lord of Cinder, but I love his character design and back story.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who instantly came when they tried the Farron Greatsword Two-Handed Combo, it's so God damn Extra and I still love it to this day!
I'm glad you also fell in love with the awesomeness that is the Farron Greatsword. It's my favorite weapon in 3 by a wide margin, it's so fun to play with.
Shen is playing Dark Souls again ! Let's all enjoy seeing her go *hollow* again !
Praise the sun \[T]/
I find it hilarious it was this video that made me want to take another shot at playing Dark Souls and now I'm an addict! So way to go Shen you made another armor lover outta me
Calling Anri “wife” gives me conniptions.
Yuria: I can help with that!
Just gonna hide all the Dark Lords...
She never even did the quest too, such a shame.
for some reason reminds me of American Gods.
and considering the yuria ending.... "dead wife" is also fair game
Connuptials?
Im sorry
Shen you're an inspiration to continue my soulsborne playthroughs I stopped midway.
Also, if it makes you feel any better I totally messed up the Greirat quest the same way you did and messed up the events. Don't feel too bad about it!
The bit about Soulsborne lore and Vaatividya is so accurate omfg (and that's why I love his videos)
Shenpai saying the two H words multiple times at the beginning made me instantly realize that I am in for some good times.
Seeing shenpai with only a +2 estus in the second to last boss of the main game hurt me more than all of my experiences with the souls games combined...
I love that despite 5 games of the souls series, Shen still hasn't unlocked [Secret Technique, Roll to the Right Side of Boss for Every Attack Dodge]
Every time she rolls AWAY from the boss I just have to shake my head and go 'Oh no, sweetie' and watch her STILL get hit by the attack combos.
Okay but is it MY right or THEIR right?
