Have played 30 minutes and have died 25 times. Now I am here.

[boiboiboiboiboiboiboiboi]

A good one as always - strangely informative for a game with 2 attack buttons

[RockmanRatix]

Nice job on explaining Poise with a mockup of a bar! Makes it much easier to see how it works.

[Cyberdragunz]

Still loving these guides. To the point, not an information overload, and everything is clear and well laid out. Thanks, man.

[sethgibson]

Thank you, Robdood. I’m a first timer when it comes to Dark Souls and this helped a ton.

[memesouls]

I love it how everyone’s first time playing a Souls game they’re like “oh I’m not going to be one of those losers who die all the time” only to proceed to die ALL the time.

[jesseredfield]

The bit about missing an attack, thank you. Couldnt find this anywhere online and i have a 29 strength why is the mace staggering me…. Lol appreciated.

Also, clanking against a wall depletes stamina more than just swinging, by around 30 stamina points, by the looks of it.

I straight up parry almost every enemy that can be parried, now I'm very good at parrying,
With only a shield though

[chipstastesupergood]

You can parry the boars charge at the begining at the begining of the game

[Mibur]

You’re the Gordon Ramsay of Dark Souls. No really, your voice is kinda similar but your diction is VERY similar, you guys talk similarly. Also you both are informative and know what you’re talking about.

[Awoodcock]

Only enemies have curse. The great sword of artorias has cursed on it

[rickpartu]

Another awesome guide! Hope you had some great time with your family! Btw, any plans for another stream?

[jamesschrader]

I feel dumb because I don’t know how to get the little circle to appear so I can target my enemies!

[LuXLuvsU]

Watching so i can see what ark 2 will be like

[Hybe]

Why can't I backstab that black night? He always turns around and I use walk to get to him. Hmmm

[ranmouri]

Wait, the background music sounds familiar

[Tsxbas]

Man ive went from 232 hours on bloodborne and getting the platinum to this, its actually sad, i cannot play this game bruh

[chapermansrlneuquencapital]

How do you perform the kick? I did not get that... pls!

[somerandomguy___]

You forgot to say how to remove curse which for all I know the only way to remove curse is to use a purge if stone
