We're Playing Dark Souls Too! - Part 02

@narujoe93: You probably died just a moment after the boss was defeated, so it registered the boss's death... and then you just died and it counted it as a normal death.

protip for that fight , she cant dive up beneath you if youre standing on the stone areas,

@turambar: poison.... Why would I lose souls in my case, but not in Vinny's?

It is amazing to see how Brad transformed into a proper Souls games enthusiast.

"Be safe!" "Bonfire!"

I remember when it was Vinny who shout that kind of stuff like a few months ago.

Was it the boss's attack that killed you just as you killed it, or did you die from the poison?

These videos make me feel like Nightmare from Soul Calibur. In that I need more souls.

Holy shit, the thumbnail. Nice one. Also, goddamn it, Brad! You almost had it! D:

The things you learn watching Giant Bomb play a game. Didn't know that could happen on that boss. Pretty silly.

Man, I really wish I could watch this.

@antihippy: Or just know what you're looking for and don't risk destroying a chest.

That boss wants you to get naked.

OH MY.....That boss fight.

Vinny was too greedy.

Had to pause it at that moment. Time to continue.

Ah, I missed hearing Brad's cries of anguish at the end of the video.

Welcome to damn near every souls boss.

Demon's souls was the one who has the most variety weirdly enough.

If you hit it 3 times, it becomes Rubbish. The rule is to hit it once to check if it's mimic, regardless of the type of the chest.

Brad makes money each time a person rages and buys a game just to prove a point that they can play the game better.

Oh wow, this was incredible. Between the gear eating and Brad's scream of anguish, this might enter the pantheon of my all-time favorite GB moments.

heh that happened to me , had to equip my stuff again , i was worried bout losing it too for a bit tho

That was a very Brad ending.

That scream at the end

I haven't laughed this hard in awhile

Hitting a chest too many times breaks the item inside? Awesome. Been asking for that for a while.

That sleeping scorpion guy has a very... interesting drop if you fight him. I hope I didn't miss out on something by killing him but it seemed worth it.

I get so frustrated watching brad play games. Trying to find a secret door from a very obvious troll post for 5 minutes just makes me angry.

Hm. Play DS2 or watch DS2...?

Not really weird, just unfortunate. I wish these games had more puzzley bosses. I guess you can say they put thought into the attack patterns/animations, but it isn't enough to make most boss fights meaningfully different.

Oh Brad...

@spitznock:

Multiplayer co-op makes boss battles a total joke; sometimes it's like the AI can't even figure out who to target, with the boss just pivoting awkwardly, and I remember that specifically happening with the two bosses around Heide's Tower of Flame.

victory ahead therefore happiness!

So many great moments during this video. Dark Souls 2 is why Giantbomb exists. Or does Giantbomb exist because of Dark Souls 2?

IT'S HEEEEERE...

It's weird how many bosses in this game can be beaten by simply strafing to the left or right until they whiff an attack and then smacking them.

HOLY CRAP THAT BOSS EATS YOUR GEAR

i never saw that attack and that's great

I didn't even knew that boss could do that. This game is amazing.

40+ lifegems? What? I'm lucky if I ever have over 10, and I don't even use them that often.

@vinny For some reason Freja's soul looks like a normal boss soul in your inventory.

I just reached that arrow trap in chest earlier today. I managed to survive it by rolling, but man was I hoping Vinny would open it without breaking the chest.

@vinny You get a boss soul from beating that boss, then you interact with what something that was glowing, and it says you embraced a great soul, but it doesn't go into your inventory, for whatever reason. Don't worry!

So the thing Vinny was worried about at the end of his segment is a stupid graphical art thing where the boss soul of that area doesn't have the same inventory icon as the other big bosses at the end of an area. It still counts in the grand scheme of the plot as one of the Big 4 you have to defeat, but it looks like just another regular boss soul. It's really dumb.

@vinny Your game is just fine duder. The Boss soul you are looking for is Freja, she wasn't the old one, the spot on the ground was the link to the soul of the old one, "the duke", you don't get an orange soul for that old one.

The wait is over. Visions of love

I'm the same level as Vinny but I only have 7 areas unlocked... I'm probably grinding too much... Anyways, soft cap for strength is 40 @brad.

Before level 40 strength goes up by 4 points per level. @vinny ADP should be at around 25 for builds like yours (and mine) because it increases the AGL stat to 100.

Better late than never.

Oh God YUS!!!

OMG that boss fight was incredible!!

I saw this on the schedule from earlier today. Is it not a live video series? After 12:30 (central) it disappeared and there was no link on the site to watch.

Wow, the video quality dies when the spider webs come on screen.

Haha, that reminded me that I didn't redeem that DLC armor and weapon set, and at this point there's no need to.

What happens at 31:30... is priceless. Priceless.
