@@StephanuSneed He still knows magic though, he just doesn’t know the theory, but given that he describes himself as the best of vinheim and obviously knows how to handle embers, it’s safe to say that he has at least some idea of what he’s doing, even if he doesn’t understand the deeper mechanisms of what he is doing.

Rickert getting blown up by Gwyn at the end was so necessary. The devs either didn’t give him any spells or intelligence. The other 3 smiths were putting in work
The blacksmiths of Lordran, featuring: Not Nameless King Not Izalith King Not Griggs And last but not least, not Gough. For those confused why I call Vamos "not Izalith King", it is because he can work with fire and chaos embers, he has a tentacle beard, which might indicate he was at least half demon, and his helm states that "The helm is believed to belong to an ancient royal line, but only Vamos would know for sure, and he shall never speak again."
Man, I thought they might even take out Gwyn. And then Gwyn took out the main three in one sweep. Him turning around and wrecking Rickert was pitch perfect. Sometimes the AI just GETS how to make the moment most dramatic.

0:01 The Blacksmiths of Lodran are creating the weapon to surpass Metal Gear.
To surpass Elden Ring news
Wait that's it. It required all 4 blacksmiths to make the Elden Ring. AND GWYN DESTROYED IT

Kinda scary that the guardians of gwynevere, when separated, cant seem to take down the blacksmith next door
Forge, I can!
STRONG, I AM!
Probably why they had him there as an ally
They were just illusions anyway
@Viper Hareous Is implied that Ornstein was killed by Aldrich in DS3
@Viper Hareous ups, I meant Smough
2:05 Giant Blacksmith t-posing on Smough to assert dominance as he died
Why is thay pipsqueak trying to smack the bosses with his catalyst? I thought sorcerers had high intelligence
Yeah, hd can smith but he can't cast magic. just Why
He actually accidentally hacked straight sword moveset on his staff.
@Beast the Grim executioner 3 damage for single hit, btw thats not bonk weapon. is that worth

@@Torque_Mk1 you can actually hit him, you just need a long weapon like a halberd
The last fight is a worker's union trying to force Gwyn to give them a raise.
😂
Best of luck for workers then.
I just realized rickert doesn’t use magic and just bonks people with his staff
His dialogue implies he has no idea what he is doing. He just hammers until magic weapon happens. So it's appropiate.

This was a try out to chose the new knights of Gwyn.
Unsurprisingly, Rickert was chosen because he was the last one standing.
LOL
No one can survive the might of the PLIN PLIN PLON... 😭
☀️\[T]/☀️
I can't believe people call Gwyn's theme that
The chosen undead did...
You mean the fight*, don't you?
A shield can decimate plin plin plon tho
I was "Is there nothing that can stop them?" Then the music changes.....
Despite losing his mind, Gwyn is still smart enough to take out the actual damage dealers first
Today shall be the funeral of the TRUE Gods

T-pose to assert dominance

my man trying to fly like a humming bird
One more like until 300!!
Edit: ok it's at 307 now
it's kinda hard to find, but he infuse fire and chaos weapons and you find him in the catacombs
I wonder how the giant blacksmith does his job in a small room?
I like to think that the room was built around him.
That's a Zullie the Witch question
He probably crawled into the room.
There is a big fckn doors next to him
Lesson of the Day: Never interrupt a Blacksmith's work
Unless you're Gwyn
Andre has been smithing his whole life, trying and failing to create a weapon more powerful than his fists.
Vamos is so silent when he uses his hammer. as if he's using the computer at 3 AM while his parents are asleep.
Lol
It's always 3 AM in his place
Aint gonna wake up those skelly buddy hahaha
[Grainy]
Be gone with you Ma, I'm playing with my friends and you'll spoil my focus.
if it's possible, i would like to face Gwyn myself...
Good thing we have gmod
Petition Garden of Eyes. He got NK and Gwyn to fight
0:28 The Taurus Demon is weak as paper mache... Or Raditz.
I don't know what this Raditz is... but it sounds just like Yamcha.
Taurus was so weak that we can plant more Taurus demon .

Wait hang on. What do you mean by "hammering swords"

rickert when he had to go against gwyn lmao, the way gwyn turned around... poor guy

Yeah
Rickert getting blown up by Gwyn at the end was so necessary. The devs either didn’t give him any spells or intelligence. The other 3 smiths were putting in work
Now I want a loop of them just chillin and forging whatever the hell they were forging. One hour loop at least.

"Smithn't"
-Gwyn
Elder Ring Production vs All Bosses
Rickert not only doesn't have an AI to use magic, he also has the shorts word moveset in his stick. Truly an amazing one.
Gwyn just showed the might of the lords and silenced all the blacksmiths
Gwyn playing the piano cracked me up.
He adds his own custom made fight music, what an ego maniac😂
Yeah, that's the NG+7 Gwyn I remember...
2:34 Ornstein went down in One Punch!
When the boys get together to do dungeon run.
We need a full version of Gwyn on the Piano

2:03 Left hook. DISCOMBOBULATE
I just like the beginning where they all are just working together and having a nice time.
Good show, dear father!
They saw Gwin and thought "that's a nice looking ember you got there"
The beginning's the best part. Love seeing them work together. Even Rickert's trying to socialize for once!
4:00 RUN RICKERT! RUN!
... NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
This channel is the only way i will ever see any of these gents fight
Beautiful, more than beautiful 😊💕🙏🌈💖
You know it's serious when the boss character is playing his own theme music.
The four knights of Gwyn vs firelink shrine
Gwen: WHAT ARE YA DOIN' IN MY SWAMP
Vamos's bone rolling after Gwyn:"You will not get away with this!!!!"
TEAM BLACKSMITH LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOO
and they lost to plin plin plon ;-;
I love how RIckert is trying to hit them with his catalyst
This might be the most wholesome thing I've ever seen.
Also: Would've ruled so hard, if Rickert had managed to pull a parry on Gwyn
The blacksmiths of Lordran, featuring:
Not Nameless King
Not Izalith King
Not Griggs
And last but not least, not Gough.
For those confused why I call Vamos "not Izalith King", it is because he can work with fire and chaos embers, he has a tentacle beard, which might indicate he was at least half demon, and his helm states that "The helm is believed to belong to an ancient royal line, but only Vamos would know for sure, and he shall never speak again."
Any boss: *Exists*
The Giant Blacksmith: " *DIE* "
Pretty strange to see them all fighting, feels wrong somehow...
Gywn wasn’t having none of that.
It's good you're back 😊 it's been 4 days even though it feels like 12 days lol hope you doing well
everybody gangsta till the lord of cinder walks in
Everybody gangsta until PLIN PLIN PLON...
I love the way the giant blacksmith walks. He had so much swag.
Rickert: **sees Andre** "Oh hey Godo, I thought you died."
I just couldn't stop laughing at how Rickert was using his staff to melee the whole time!
Plin plin plon you damned fools, plin plin plon...
That giant Blacksmith is a powerful one

4:05 "I have calculated the risk but man, am I bad at math"
that ending was so cool
3:43 The T-pose no one talks about.
The intro gives the "me and the boys forging the greastest weapon everknow" kind of vibe
That last fight was epic.
I like how the giant t poses over smough's dead body
2:04 Giant T-Pose to show dominance
Shouldn't have spoiled their focus
For half a moment I thought Vamos was reassembling in the fade out.
Funny how despite the fact that they all are blacksmiths, they never use hammers as a weapon
Their hammer are too precious for that
Gwyn *grabs Rickert* "You should have stayed in your cell" *yeets him from existance*
Moral of the story: Unless you're a Lord of Cinder, possessing a Lord Soul, don't mess with the people who swing hammers more than a 1000 times a day!
Taurus Demon: (Jumps down)
Blacksmiths: "Never should of come here!"
I love how they're all just beating the crap out of this gargoyle tail and Rickert is like "hmm yes indeed. yes fascinating"
3:16
“Ha! We’re unstoppable!”
PLIN PLIN PLON
“oh no”
This really showcases the insurmountable odds the undead face.
They could not parry the feels
Gwyn - PLIN PLIN PLON Activated
Blacksmiths - We will lose...
4:03 *PUNCH* "Shit, wait NO I TAKE THAT BACK I TAKE THAT UUGGGHH"
Legends say gwyn is still travelling Lordran to this very day
Rickert got picked up and obliterated with the power of the sun in Gwyn’s palm
Sometimes the most generous souls, are also the strongest
4:06 thats a poetic ending
Why is this so wholesome
