That pause was him probably wiping the sweat off his palms...lol Unless it was just me. God this part gave me anxiety

[AdamATB]

This boss... scared me more than actual horrar games.

[Mndsetx]

Bruh I don’t wanna count how many jump scares this fricking snake gave me

[josephzdyrski]

So this is basically a stealth section??? And here I was trying to just fight the snake lol.

I actually managed to get past it without injuring it. I never knew you could hide inside that thing.

3:12 when he's finished reading the snap seed

*sigh*...Story time: First time playing any game like this. Got super hype after beating the General, so I advance feelin SUPER proud of myself that I got gud. I grapple around on some trees (totally ignoring the ominous wind at this point), landing on the branch closest to the shrubs...Completely OBLIVIOUS to the BEHEMOTH of a snake around the corner. Not a second longer wolf gets YEETED off the cliff and dies along with all that feelin-like-a-badass I had before... this game, man. Gonna be a long play through😂

[kapothegod]

honestly thought the snake was gonna be a quick cutscene thing where it slivered off into the distance and it scared tf out of me when he attacked and almost 1 shotted me😂😭

I wonder what the snake was doing all that time he read the snap seed description?

[PaladinGear]

I'm trying to complete this game with zero rot, and the first time I did this, the snake hit me once successully, getting rid of all by 1HP, and then when I finally escaped it, that bloody dude on the horse killed me and gave me rot.
I thought that whole eavesdropping thing "all it took was one bit of gunpowder to scare off my horse and now he's dead" was a hint to that fight, but it didn't do anything x_x

[robertherrick]

Thanks. I had no idea there was a fucking branch up there. I kept running up to that rock wall trying to grapple to the next point and the snake killed me.

[grandmasterchooda]

It’s crazy how much better the game looks in 60fps. Thanks for the help tho meng!

[Fulminitro]

Dude was about to use the snap seed description for meditate, just like Qui-Gon Jinn used the red gate moments meanwhile the Darth Maul fight :D well done! :D

[captaincrunch]

This game is just endless trolling . I knew I was gonna hate this game but I just had to take this beating for the team

[snoookie]

2:25 oh, so it's that easy, huh
3:15 aaah... of course...

[imlacsina]

after watching this, I've decided not to face the snake. 🤣

[ArthurLeywin_]

Man i did exactly same on first try without watching any video and entered palquin then when snake eye got large i thought this mf was angry at seeing me and i just try to run to the end but it killed me multiple times i am dumb why didn't i thought it was deathblow

[MonolithTMA]

I never saw the grapple up to the cave before. Thank you!

[omegahelper]

Should've disliked it for the long ass pause but it helped can't lie

No shinobi were harmed in the making of this video..
