dark damage should still be higher however, dark urns vs lightning urns show that difference, plus testing too. There is probably an issue with pure amount of lightning vs dark on the chimes where the caitha chime is too low to win despite Looking knight being weaker to dark.

2 minutes in and already I know this is going to be my favourite video of yours

Your jokes and comedic timing have come sooooo far compared to your earlier vids, and even your early vids were great

Your script is so nice dude. I like your vids in general but this one is rly rly good.

Slightly late but at 14:18 you can start at the second bonfire, go up the ladder, go around to take care of the ambush guy then standing from where he is, run straight to the item. No roll, no jump, just run. You will land exactly where god intended.

My man...every video you make...just gets better...and better and better. I'm paused at 51 seconds just savoring that intro. #PupaPower

Holy shit (pun intended) the tabs you have opened for the Brimstone bit absolutely crucified me.

Honestly, absolute slammer of a video, mate. It's hard to remember cracking up this consistently at a challenge run like this; you're really hitting your stride as a narrator

I'm fully convinced this man has never beaten a souls game in a normal playthrough, just straight challenge run on day 1 lmao

What a way that finish a crappy Monday but with an awesome video from my favorite youtuber

Omg I would not have the patience to do these crazy challenge runs. I was thinking of doing a Broken Straightsword or SL1 run in the original Dark Souls, as I refuse to play through DS2 again, challenge or otherwise. If I do I'll have to carefully comb through your archive for the tasty strats. Also you make a lot of hilarious but well made and informative content. Can't wait for you to get the subscriptions you deserve.

I love your videos. The cartoons make me laugh so hard and you are insanely good at this game :-) also I love the detractor memes

The reason why lightning still did more damage to looking glass knight is because the devs attempted to make him resist lightning, but him being in the rain gives him the wet debuff which actually makes him still weak to lightning

Your choice of music and the prayers made my day 👌😂

This is the greatest guide of all time.

"I truly takes a miracle to dodge into the Pursuer's attacks with 6 ADP." Me who beat the game with 6 ADP because I didn't know Agility gave more i-frames, dodged through almost every attack, and died about once every three minutes: "I am the church."

I guess Mirror Knight's lightning defense is somewhat negated because he is standing in the rain - Water = increased lightning damage

Another Gem, Thank you press for the reminder that there are good things in this world

Haven't seen the whole vid yet and scrolled a bit the comment section and saw no one mention it but I wanted to point it out, you mention the chime displaying pretty high AR while not dealing much damage, that's because the shown AR is the magic damage. It's really apparent when you run a dark build, since staves (and prolly chimes IDK I only used staves with dark) display outrageous AR values because they are just displaying the combined Magic and Dark AR (even though it makes zero sense since those are two separate values for damage with spells). It was really apparent when I had a knight build embracing the darkness within him mid playthrough, his treebranch had like 400 AR while the broadsword had 200 with roughly 20 ish in str/dex/int/faith. tl;dr displayed AR for magic weapon is misleading.

The Snake Eater joke was genius
