  • I'm amazed that you didn't give in and dupe the throwing knives earlier, which would have been totally fair, if you ask me. Luckily, Elden Ring should be a lot easier, kukris actually do pretty good damage, they scale, and they cause bleed. It's one of the easiest ways I've found to fight Lansseax on all bosses runs.

  • With stuff like that knife farm I think it’s completely reasonable to just dupe or cheat in max knives. I don’t think anyone wants you to farm for weeks and weeks on end for the sake of authenticity. Just proving that getting the knives legit is possible is enough.

  • Well, correct me if I`m wrong but I think you can farm those stealth knives in a relatively easy manner. Kill those ninja guys that drop the daggers by luring them to the fire downstairs and make them commit suicide, you can actually grab the items they drop. I think I used that trick to farm some white herbs when I played the game. Although it was in the original demon souls not the remake so idk. Btw, congrats this is an amazing video.

    • Yeah it was more the time it would take, it's a bit of a run to even get to them and luring them down to that flaming ball is inconsistent at best. Farming 99 would have taken a really long time that to be honest I was not prepared to put into this given how long it had taken already. Glad you liked the video 🙂
