What would your snack of choice be to eat while watching this video?

In Dark Souls 3, you can use the hawk ring to boost the range of your attack spells ;)
Also, boosting the range means more damage at close to mid range

"floating down like a butterfly in the moonlight"

IT FLOATS DOWN?!?!

Crystal Sage being harder than all DLCs Bosses combined is certainly something I would never expect to witness.

If I had a nickel for every time i watched a dark souls 3 playthrough where they go for a sorcery build and then proceed to Pestilent Mist the Dancer of the Boreal Valley early on a whim and it actually worked, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice

Old Moonlight is a charged spell, it does insane damage if fully charged and both projectile and blade hit, it isn’t as bad as it initially seems and can rival soul spear

0:14 there’s actually kinda a lore reason why pyromacy and miracles are worse in ds3. It’s been so long since the chaos flame shenanigans that birthed pyromancy. And miracles are essentially stories of these things happening that are called upon to perform the miracles. And as it’s been so long since all/most of these stories and accounts of these miracles happened/were written down. Much has been lost to time (kinda a broken telephone effect)

Some miracle fun facts:
-Lightning miracles, I think specifically the ranged spears and their incantation equivalents in ER, produce a second hit of damage when in melee range, for a bit extra damage (which is why they did more damage here). It’s visible as a damage proc usually right before you actually throw the spear, and as a small lightning strike separate from your cast. As far as I know, it’s not doubled damage, it’s more mild.
-Both “gnawing” miracles are dark miracles and thus deal dark damage. The reason Gael takes less damage from them, especially in his second stage, is that he gains the “hollowed” enemy modifier, which usually comes with higher dark defenses. I believe he gains this on the phase transition, and it’s testable by using something like the Hollowslayer GS, which will have its effect function. The gnawing miracles were even stronger on launch and got nerfed if I’m not mistaken, I used one to cheese dancer on my first playthrough.
-The lightning bow miracle is locked behind Ringed City because Fromsoft hates fun and whimsy, this is an established fact. It’s seriously weirdly placed, yeah it was introduced with the dlc but it’d be more useful if it was available earlier on.
-Words cannot describe the integrity of JK to not use ToD, and Siegward isn’t cheating, as the man is a walking miracle

Edit: Removed any mention of Gael being Abyssal as thanks to a reply on here I was informed he does not have this trait, doing a bit of research confirms this. However, as an added fact I suppose, Gael himself is the only enemy who changes or adds a type to himself mid-fight.

for the Dark Souls 2, I strongly recommend using the binoculars in the other hand, as it allows you to aim spells like a bow, it's really usefull

So here is an interesting fact about deacons. When you start the fight, the main deacon is actually stored inside Aldrich's coffin behind where his clothes drop. What that means is you can pestilent mist, toxic, or poison it through the wall to get some early damage while also fighting the red light deacons. Hopefully this helps!

Sacred Flame is actually a really good Pyromancy against the Sage, as you can stunlock them so they can't teleport away

Fun fact, you can actually kill wolnir with pestilent mist without him even waking up, you just cast it repeatedly on his hand

Pyromancy last is defo the smartest choice too, as it’s the best magic in this game imo. NG+7 as a pyromancer so it’s definitely got the damage output.

2 things about the Pyromancy run, Boulder Heave is actually REALLY good vs the Abyss Watchers because you can with the correct timing chain it basically untill you run out of FP, hit them with Boulder Heave once then take 2 steps forward and use Boulder Heave again then repeat, you can do the same thing with Sacred Fame against the Crystal Sage

I've loudly said "oh fuck off" in response to at least 3 puns in the first 7 minutes of this video alone. It's looking like a masterpiece

Commenting a year and half later because I don’t want Ian McKellen to be sad

17:22 No, you clearly cast the Bonk spell with your staff there.

gael shooting a volley of bolts and slow walking through the toxic cloud at 53:03 is kinda raw as fuck ngl

Tip for if you ever do sorcery against Friede again; she runs straight into Homing Soulmass spells when invisible and staggers herself.

Friday really is the best day of the week. Thanks, I've been really enjoying your content. Came for the challenge runs stayed for the puns.
