Heide Knight supremacy
ds1 knight set is called nameless knight set in ds3
The DS1 and 2 regular Knight set is in DS3, it was renamed to the Nameless Knight set and can be found in Farron keep. Turn right and hug the wall when entering from the crucifixion woods, the set is sitting in a corner along that wall.
My favorites are from the games they started in
DS1: Elite Knight and Brass set
DS2: Creighthon's, Alva and Faraam
DS3: Cathedral Knight
ER:Carian Knight
I like my sets quite simple withtout any oversized emblems or stuff.
Redmane in ER fell short for me for that big shield on the chest.
DS2 got the highest quantity of my fashion favorites from just clothing to armor.
In DS2, the Desert Sorcereress hood goes incredibly well with the drakeblood armor.
Wearing havels set during the four kings like a coward? Yeah hella called out, as its the only time I'm not running around in purely fashion souls. lol
Love your videos, and I always get excited when I see a new video come up. If you don't already have a ton of video ideas lined up, I have a suggestion. Your pick for the best human boss fights in the series. You've mentioned before that people complained that DS2 is just a bunch of dudes in armor, so what if you celebrated that fact by counting down your favorite strictly human boss fights from the series? They have to be human or humanoid enough, Artorius would count, but the 4 kings and iron golem wouldn't, Gael would count, but Vordt might not (depending on if he's still human at that point), the lost sinner would count, but not the smelter demon, Radahn would count, but Godrick wouldn't, first phase father Gascoigne could count if you wanted, Genichiro would count, whereas headless wouldn't. Again, you probably have a ton of videos lined up, but if you ever run low on ideas, maybe this would be a good choice.
Regardless, please continue making lists on fromsoft content!
23:04 That is a hot take and i love this idea!
I like the Unaltered Banished Knight and the Black Knife sets in Elden Ring.
Something about the way you say “hey” in that Scottish brogue just gets me every time
I love you CANDLE Type 1a
Gonna take a drink every time I hear, "the set's colours are somewhat faded in DS3."
ER exile set enjoyers: 🗿
This is a great series idea! Artorias is my favorite armor set lol
Raimes set with the iron crown and vendricks small sheild and a long sword gives you a evil royal look
sweet Dan Carlin namedrop. great podcast, wasn't expecting the shoutout.
I know Sekiro isn't technically "soulsborne" but the Shura outfit slaps so hard it should have been included…
There are actually quite a few more armour sets that make an appearance in all three Dark Souls games, beside the ones you mentioned.
Such as.
The Knight set (Renamed to Nameless Knight in DS3)
The Hard Leather set (Pate's set in DS2)
The Leather set
The Black Leather set
The Brigand set
The Pyromancer set (Tattered set in DS2 and Conjurstor set in DS3 but visually identical)
And there might even be more, that I might've forgotten.
You can actually use the Fire Prelates' eruption attack as part of the Cranial Vessel Candlestand's unique skill, Surge of Faith.
It's also one of the most damaging attacks in the entire game, I've had it deal almost 8k damage on an optimized build.
Another excellent video, candle man!
man your sister's accent slapped me.
I've gotten used to yours over the course of however many hours I've listened to you talk at this point but hers came out of nowhere, like clicking on that first video all over again XD
veldstadt also has a ring that makes him look human.
The unique Prelate's armor in Fort Laiedd is sadly not a guaranteed drop, though I very much wish it was. Armor farming in Elden Ring is absolutely batshit insane grindy compared to DS3 and I don't understand why they haven't adjusted the droprates.
Hey! That’s a pretty nice set you got there little buddy!
I really like Hoslow’s Set in Elden Ring. It looks like something a vampire lord would wear. Also, I will always have fond feelings for the Elite Knight Set in DS1 because the poise on it helped me score my first Capra Demon boss kill.
Great list. And Hardcore History rules!
It's too bad there aren't any Egyptian diety themed outfits. "I set the Bastet set and the Set set according to each sets best asset."
1:06:13 I thought they were killing eachother for sport 💀
I'm personally a big fan of Henry's set in Bloodborne. His jacket in particular. I had to force myself to stop equipping it because every character I made ended up wearing it
The Faraam armour set better be here. It’s literally the main reason I decided to buy my first Soulsborne game, Daro Souls 2
The Malformed Dragon set is goddamn hideous and it's terrible stat wise. How did they think it was ok?
I really hope Shadow of the Erdtree gives Elden Ring some better sets, because it is right now, ER has to have some of the weakest fashion options of all the recent From games.
In the next game they should rename Strength to Sick and Dex to Slick
girl vinland
What a colossal undertaking! I can’t wait to see part two!
As always, the combination of your eloquent, erudite writing style married to your smooth, rich Scottish brogue makes for a thoroughly enjoyable viewing experience. So, so glad that I stumbled across your channel 😀
من كان يضن انا نحب الشيئ نفسه❤
انتا مخطئ سمو لم يكن من الفرسان الاربعة
في الواقع الحماية في درع سمو اعلى دفاع من الهافل
Night’s Cavalry set with modified helm needs to be in part 2!!!
I farmed the black monk set for hours, then wore it only like an hour because it was mid
Soulsborne? Bruh the f you saying
Downvoted the video for blatant misinformation about the DS1 Knight set not being in DS3 as the Nameless Knight set, clearly a sign this video doesn't have the full picture on the sets, not wasting over an hour on someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.
Do better next time.
