And if you combine it with skills like Sepeku you can kill yourself in a catacomb, keep your runes as you teleport to the entrance, and you can walk to the door you just opened. Without needing to walk all the way back through the catacombs after pulling the lever. Or if you went through an entire dungeon and now are facing the boss... just drink the potion and take the souls with you if you die. Like we all had that moment of, fuck those were 3 levels of worth of souls! That attack was bullshit! or whatever. Then ur under pressure because well you cant die now... souls are on the line! But with one little potion all of that is irrelevant. Just drink the potion and there is no penalty for death anymore. I mean in this game there are statues of marika / grace sites every 20 cm and you can teleport freely with your map, unlike other souls games... But this no penalty on death would have been AMAZING in a game like DS1 or something. Especially with farming runs. Just die instead of running back to the bonfire and no fear of risk... (Like this tear would have been an B for utility if you couldnt just fast travel from anywhere, if fast travel was limited from grace sites for example... this Tear would be SO valuable)

Something to remember about the Twiggy Cracked Tear and Twig Talismans: These items prevent you from taking any penalty from dying besides progress in the area you're in. This means that if you have a massive rune pile on your bloodstain and want to ensure you get that back, you can use this to prevent that specific death from vanishing since it prevents you from dropping new runes acquired on the way to that one cliff you could have sworn the player left message wasn't lying at. This mechanic isn't talked about enough for how useful it can be and it has existed in the souls series forever.

Twiggy tear is an 'S' for your first playthrough, and still useful in NG+ when you might need a few hundred thousand runes to level up.

As a pvp efficianado, my favorite flask set-up is the leaden and crimsonwhorl tear combination. There really is no better way to let moonveil users know that you hate them by turning their transient moonlight spam into a light breeze. 10 second duration? They're already dead.

I think the str boosting tear is a bit better than the dex one. Mainly because of the 1.5x multiplier you get to str when two handing. If you know you're going to be two handing your weapon the majority of the time, this tear lets you get away with only leveling up to 44 str, as with the tear it'll go to 54 which when two handing hits the 80 str soft cap. That gives you a ton of extra points you can invest in other stuff like mind or endurance, or hybridize the build with faith or int or arcane.

Who’s watching a month before DLC finally drops?

The intelligence crystal tear sounds kinda interesting at the moment just because when trying to make my way to the perfect order ending I realized it requires using an incantation that costs 37 god damn intelligence to cast. It's not even something that you can fake use like swords where you can still physically swing it even if you don't meet the requirements, you just either have to scrape up enough INT by using tears and talismans or just be a dedicated mage

Greenburst CT is really good, but I'd personally dock it some points because you could always use a Pickled Turtle Neck in its place and free that Tear Slot up for something that can't easily be replicated. Rowa Fruit & Herba are everywhere, & thanks to the 300 turtles that spawn in that one Dungeon in Summonwater Village, these end up being one of the easiest consumables to farm in my experience. The same kinda goes for other consumables like the Dried Liver, Cured Meats, or Invigorating Perfumes, but some of those require much more rare or finite materials so using the Tears is worth the resources saved if you ask me.

Glad to see another great upload! It genuinely makes me really happy to get the notif for a new upload

Grats on 400k, Rusty. Great list as always!

I feel like using Winged, Str, Faith, etc talismans to allow you to equip certain weapons or armor effectively is a trap. after that 3 minutes go up, you better have a bonfire next to you or weap back to something weaker, or you're srewed. That really drops their usefulness in my eyes

Saddest part for me is that I only found 40% of every single tear in the course of beating the game (for example I never even knew the Magic shrouding tear was in the game before watching this video) but my go two physick flask all the way to the end of the game was opaline hard tear and stonebarb cracked tear.

I’ve been on the receiving end of this exact situation while having those tears slotted in arena and I can say that this tear combo is a real saving grace.

You joke about Twiggy Cracked Tear but the fact that it'll give you extra comfort and effectively protect all those million runes you lost and is now on a tight challenging spot or getting into unfortunate stupid accidents (Especially in Haligtree or Auriza Hero's Grave),All without worrying about dying makes it rather invaluable. It may be niche but its still sure as hell S rank for me purely for that fact i mentioned above.. also super fun to combine with Ruptured Crystal Tear

Twiggy getting a C and not an S++ hurt a bit, but other than that this was was great. I’d never even considered the potential of the opaline tear. Also if you’re like me and play the whole game at or below 22 hp the full heal tear is pretty useless, because your still getting one-shot, but I can see it being good for most builds.

Let's go, another ranking video that's gonna make me use up all my larval tears on builds for them, only too continue using the same ones in the end

I use Opaline Bubbletear + Crimson bubbletear and then cast unendurable frenzy, usually in PVP the enemy gets maybe 1 or 2 attacks in which usually isn't enough to destroy my poise but is enough to make the enemy not being able to do anything. On PVE (or in PVP if you manage to get the enemy staggered before he gets a hit on you), you can just keep shooting this thing for a ridiculous amount of time, since the first fill of the madness meter just breaks the invulnerability allowing you to use the spell twice as long, doesn't matter how much you suck at PVP if you can get this going.

I 1000% love your tier lists. Please make more. Literally subbed for them, yours are the best made so far, and the only complaint I have is that you don't paste the effect description text with the item you are talking about, cuz u gave literally 6 seconds of talking for some of the items.

Rusty your videos keep getting better

Twiggy Tear for me is an A+ for the sole reason that you gain all of its benefits without having to keep it in your physique. Accidently died in a bs location with 200,000 runes? Just swap out one tear from your flask, run to your runes, jump off the nearest cliff, and swap back. There's no harm in dying without your runes if you have the buff, since it prevents them from despawning. It's essentially an infinite use sacrificial twig that you can grab early, and never worry about losing runes ever again.

"As blunt as a Baseball bat As indisputable as the FUCKING SUN" This fuckin whole bit. The delivery, the word choice and the whole damn video. Good shit man

So fun fact, for the longest time, I was running Crimsonburst Tear and Opaline Bubbletear together for my Flask. Get that bonus healing, which sometimes could be life saving, while also having that damage barrier. It was a huge help for many fights. However, that strategy kinda, collapsed because of the hardest boss for me in my main playthrough (which is in NG+ now, and steadily approaching said boss again), Maliketh. Mostly because my strategy with the flask would be to have the health regening as I run away, and hopefully thr Bubble to soak a hit. But, for some reason (not sure if it’s coded or not), that one flask (Not the Crimson or Cerulean, ONLY MY WONDROUS) would immediately draw his ire, and even if he was mid-combo dealing with my Summon and I was hiding halfway across the map, he would stop, AND CHARGE ME. So the INSTANT the bubble was up, and my health regen began, I couldn’t even dodge because of those few frames at the end of the flask animation before I was on my back, lost 1/4 my health, and my bubble was already gone. And if I was REALLT unlucky, he’d then skewer me on the spot and I was dead. I swapped Crimson Burst for Crimson Bubble around attempt 25 of that fight, and while it didn’t SEEM to help much (the Opaline bubble still seemed to immediately aggravate the doggo), after a few attempts, I realized how much further I was getting into the fight. Going from maybe getting to hit him 1-5 times in his second phase, to managing 7-15. When my summon survived Phase 1 with more than 50% health, it was easily double those hits. And by attempts 45+, Inwas getting Triple (21-30 hits being on worse attempts where I got distracted, and 40-45 hits being my hetter attempts). The one attempt I won, which was somewhere in the 50s or 60s (I lost exact count cuz of attempting that fight for over 5hours) tooks around 50 hits. And that’s only because I said “Screw it” and began spamming the Spiral spell and Pebble while BARELY managing my stamina enough to dodge and RUN. Which was helped for having Opaline when I had a bad timing and needed that soaked hit, and the Crimson Bubble for when his hit got me low right at the end of a combo and into those few seconds I had to chug a Crimson Flask.

Nice vid. At some point in the game, i just got tired of buffs and scrolling items. This flask was rarely used. Maybe it's time to pick it up.

On my last run I ran the magic shrouded tear and the thorny crystal tear with Eochaid’s dancing blade, great run.

Honestly I didn't even realize the purifying tear existed until I was looking through the wiki a month after beating Mohg. I just assumed you were supposed to deal with taking 2 health bars of damage and the boss healing to full health.

this video was a good idea. thanks.

dude honestly your videos are so freaking hilarious, literally every time I watch one of your videos I about have a cardiac event from laughing so hard

I still like the polearm helicopter, in the caves video when you were flying above Liurnia with it I laughed so hard I started crying.

Thanks for an excellent Crystal Tier Tear Ranking.

Twiggy is my most s-tier tear. Basically guarantees no rune loss ever when used properly.

Once I had them both, I used the health Regen and opaline hard tear for pretty much the entire game. Great combo and they've kept me alive many times.

I can't believe you unintentionally made a Tear list for the Tears.

stonebarb is actually pretty funny if you use a fist weapon,use craglable or something that help with break stance too.using a defense build with the ironjar aromatic,the fist with stonebarb is really fun to use as you can punch your dear friends (ennemies) and just look at them try to stop you but you just punch and punch and end up breaking their poise after just two to three light hits and they just don't understand what happened.also,i'm trying to make a build with the ruptured tears that combine with law of causality,and nightmaiden mist (that actually triggers the law of causality) and maybe something else like the golden jump to make a "hey ,i jump on you and boom" build,or something,it's mostly for fun but the maxed casting speed is imperative for it to work,and the timing is super hard to get.i took out radahn just after reaching him on the character with this build and i really couldn't stop laughing

That ad placement was perfect😂
