0:07This is so stupid. Hello and welcome to Entertain this. It's a podcast about movies, tv shows and video games. My name's Tom. With me I have Mitch and Grim Arbuckins. Still don't have Hayden. We don't get Hayden back until November or December.
0:42Hayden:It's either end of November, somewhere between the end of November and mid-December . Supposedly he'll be back.
0:49Allegedly.
0:49Hayden:But you know that's when he'll be back in the US, whether he'll be back off his base or you know Whether he'll be home and able to reclaim the third chair.
1:00I mean, we have done a slew of interviews for his position.
1:04Hayden:I'm banking on him not being back until after Christmas. Whether he is or not before, that'll be up to him. But, that's what I kind of figured He'd get home. He'd probably want to spend Christmas with his family, since he hasn't seen them in a year.
1:18You know Semantics, family obligations, if you will. Yeah, this episode we are talking about no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice we will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We're going to live on. We're going to live on, we're going to survive. Today we celebrate our Independence Day.
1:53Hayden:Loud. Well, that's not what we're going to be talking about. We were going to review the movie Independence Day and then we were like nah.
2:03Nah, I was wondering. I was like are we doing the Independence Day review?
2:07Hayden:No, I was going to play that for our intro, but I couldn't get it to work before you hit the button, so I was like, oh well, yeah, we were going to review Independence Day , but we were like, nah, we weren't really feeling it. So we're going to have an extensive review by Tom of the Elden Ring Erdtree DLC.
2:26Shadow of the Erdtree it happened. We talked about it and now it's out. I'm like 40 plus hours into it.
2:33Hayden:I was going to ask you have you beaten it or are you at the final boss?
2:35I'm still at the final boss. I haven't beaten Radon, mega Radon, super Radon, like Radon Prime, not Scarlet, rotted on with no feet on his scrawny horse like nope, like this is prime radon, yeah, and it is it is rough.
2:54Hayden:I did see where one of the streamer people I forgot his name, but he was fighting radon and he did something like so much happened all at once that it spawned two bosses at the same time.
3:04From like it glitched out yeah so he was fighting two radons at once and he's just, oh my god, I can't even like he was just well, radon has like a super move when you get him the second phase, where he's like doing these like shadow attacks at you with just rapid succession, yes, where she's like. And then it's just he's just coming at you repeatedly and you're rolling, rolling, rolling , rolling. You're just watching your standard, and then he's just coming at you repeatedly and you're rolling, rolling, rolling , rolling. You're just watching your stamina bar go boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, and then he's still coming. You're like ah, and then you're just shouting at your two NPCs and your mimic going hello help, Just take his attention for a
3:37second. So one thing I will say I realized these bosses do not give a crap that an NPC is stabbing them repeatedly, lighting them on fire. Your mimic is hitting them with stuff. They are literally taking the shots. They'll look at them and then they immediately snap right back to you and you're trying to heal. It's like putting in place, like, and then they just come right back at you and you don't even get a chance to breathe half the time.
4:08Hayden:Before we get too in-depth in the Earth Tree review, I'll do our social media Well. You can go to entertainthispodcastcom, which will take you to our Facebook group and page. You also go to our Twitter, which is at thisentertain, or X, whatever you want to call it. Also our Instagram, which is entertainthis, and our YouTube, and TikTok was imitating this exclamation point.
4:23Yeah, those things, those things, those places.
4:26Hayden:Now Shadow of the Earth's tree.
4:28After we waited two years to play it and I played the crap out of this thing.
4:35Hayden:I played what I could .
4:36I tried. Yeah, I mean, you were on vacation.
4:39Hayden:Yeah.
4:39You were out of the state so there was nothing really you could do. I was, I got off work and then I went to sleep and then I woke up, had it all downloaded and I was just like woo. So I will say it's got a 7 out of 10 rating on Steam, which I'm a little surprised, but it already sold like 5 million copies in three days after it was released, which was a lot. I mean, that's good for just a standalone game, let alone a dlc .
5:10Hayden:Well, I mean, I know a lot of people I say people, a lot of developers are still mad because they get. They gave so much for this dlc and it's still not.
5:19You know, pay to win, yeah, you know season passes, all yeah all that stuff, you know, paying money for great loot that you can't get in the game. That will make the game easier, all that crap. This is just. We basically got Elden Ring 2.
5:33Hayden:I mean, yeah, it's. I mean, the size of this DLC is basically a whole other game.
5:38It's. I mean they said it was about the size of like Laernia.
5:40Hayden:This DLC is the size of it's not a whole other elden ring game.
5:45No, it's like a half of an elder yeah, this the map is like half the size and the map is very vertical. Yeah, it's a big map, but there is so much layer to it where, like you don't really realize that at certain points, like you're way above where you were or you're below where you were, yeah, and having to go and crisscross through the map and figure out where to get the things as far as size, though, it's about half of what the original Elden Ring was but it's more than what some games come out modern day. So, as of this recording, I've beaten nine of the Remembrance bosses.
6:19Hayden:I've beaten two, two, two he got two. Let me see, let me I'll tell you who all of them are. I beat the fire or not.
6:32The fire, the uh, the lion guy, that is terrifying.
6:33Hayden:Yeah, the lion guy me , me, tom, and our friend evan help us beat him um. And then, uh, I beat the. Uh. What's her name? Rolana, rolana, tom, listen to me as I beat her because it was easier to do it with my mimic.
6:49I did all this without Mitch, our friend, evan Hayden, any outside real people summons. If there was an NPC summon, a lot of people would be like, oh you didn't just do it by yourself, screw the people, screw them. I'm playing the game. I the people, screw them. I'm playing the game. I can summon these NPCs. I'm summoning the NPCs. I can do the little ding-a-ding-a-ding and get my mimic going and watch him not do anything. I was running from a boss and he was chasing me. My mimic was running after me and I'm like, no, you idiot, go get him.
7:22Hayden:I'll just say it's like me with Call of Duty. Y'all complain how I like to play Call of Duty. I pay for the game. I play it the way I want. We bought Erdtree, we bought Elden Ring. We're playing it the way we want.
7:40So here's the 10 remembrance bosses. To beat the DLC, you have the Divine Beast Dancing Lion, which you fight first.
7:44Hayden:It's terrifying. Which is horrifying? Because it eats you.
7:47Yeah, Wait till you get to the Golden Hippopotamus. Oh, great, which is not a remembrance boss, but it's a Golden Hippopotamus. It's a gigantic boss and in its second phase it shoots like porcupine needles out of its back and then it starts like combat rolling at you where, like it just drops to the ground and explodes them out like a grenade and there's not much you can do. Rolanda, the sister of Rinala, the twin moon knight, that fight was brutal. I will say these boss fights were brutal, like it wasn't, as A lot of the Elden Ring bosses' stuff was telegraphed. You knew if you fought a boss two or three times, you knew what moves were going to come.
8:33Hayden:The original Elden Ring bosses. They would fight you and then they would back up and assess. Almost They'd give you a breather. These ones don't.
8:39No, there is no breathing. They are coming at you full speed.
8:43Hayden:Especially Rinala that I fought.
8:44Yeah, Rinala is she just keeps coming. Commander Gaius was, that was 20 plus tries.
8:50Hayden:He's the one on the On the horse.
8:52On the giant boar.
8:55Hayden:Yeah, I keep seeing on TikTok how to cheese him.
8:57Yeah, good luck, good luck.
9:00Hayden:You get him trapped in like the corner of the building and you can just area effect moves.
9:04Yeah, and then eventually he'll figure out how to get out of it.
9:06Hayden:Well, they said like when he gets halfway he jumps up into the air and he might come across the other side, but then you can just move to the other corner, and that's how a lot of people have kind of cheesed him using the like blood, the mogs like dragon thing.
9:20Yeah, the sword you get for right guard yeah, area of effect things yeah uh, the scatter tree avatar, that one got a broken controller. So I spiked my controller and I broke the right stick and the top and the right bumper tom has anger issues well, you know, after you fight this damn thing, you know 13, you know 30 times, and this boss is the only one in the game that has three complete phases. Okay, so there is a way to kind of make it easier. So you go. The first phase is pretty easy. If you hit him in the stupid sunflower face, you do a buttload of damage. Okay, good luck trying to hit it, because he moves obnoxiously quickly.
10:09Hayden:Okay.
10:10Like way too fast, but you do it and when you kill him he like falls like he got staggered. Okay, like you know the glowing red and you can do like a critical hit to him. So do that because when he comes back hes with uh, minus 25 health okay, so he's only at seven, you know three quarters of his full health, so I fight him. I did that and then I fought him the second time and I was like okay, cool, it was a two-phase boss. And I'm like I got two health flasks left. My mimic's almost dead. And I'm looking at my mimic is still standing there and I'm like wait, uh-huh, what? and then my mimic starts swinging at the ground and I'm looking at. My mimic is still standing there and I'm like wait , uh-huh, what?
10:46And then my mimic starts swinging at the ground and I'm like what does he do? And then he starts coming back. I was like three three oh god, it was because there's one movie does you can't dodge it, you have to tank through it. I've never been able to dodge it. I didn't even get like a lucky accidental dodge where he does like the holy hand grenade explosion, like you can't outrun it to the point where you'd be safe. It's just brutal. I hate that boss. And then Mesmer the Impaler. So I would like to say I was wrong on the last time we talked about the trailer before we started to play it, where like, oh the red guy, oh that's Mikala , it's not Mikala, it's Mesmer. Okay, I think, like the sister of Melania Gotcha, he's got like
11:33the fire red hair. Now that dude is a horrible boss fight.
11:39Hayden:I came across a guy that I forgot what part of the map I was on, but I came across a guy that was like an npc enemy , I guess that spawns like you know the ones that are all red or whatever. I came across somebody with him that has like had something of mesmer. I can't remember his name, but it was yesterday as I got came into this church like uh, as you're going towards the shadow, keep you, veer off to the left. There's like this ruined church up on the hill. And I walked in there and he cause like I was talking to my cousin and we were just playing our. He's playing Destiny and I was playing this. But I was just talking to him and all of a sudden I started hearing somebody talk and I was like what's going on?
12:20Hayden:And all of a sudden he spawned in front of me like oh crap, run away. Well, he just charges after you , just keeps following you until you fight him. So I had to run to fight him. It took me like two, two or three trials and officially killed him, but I don't know who he was, but he was using like the spear of mesmer or something too.
12:37So mesmer was brutal. And then you got ramina Saint of Bud. That's some like Poison Ivy-esque woman riding like a centipede.
12:50Hayden:That's also a scorpion. I saw the pictures of that one, or like a video of that one, that one, that fight wasn't hard . Okay.
12:57That fight I died. It probably took me five tries. Yeah. But that was more of just being patient and not getting like roped into, like, oh, let me go for another hit. It's just like nah, nah, no, no , no, back out roll dodge. Alright, now you can hit him, the putrescent knight. That one wasn't. I don't remember that fight, which means I probably did it pretty quickly.
13:21Hayden:I don't know which one that one is.
13:22I'm trying to remember that medra, lord of frenzy flame that I did in one try that was.
13:30Hayden:That was a cool fight and you get a really cool weapon for doing it now and the to preface this tom's build from the original elder ring is like what you need for this new dlc, like he's already. Just like a big guy that just tanks stuff and has big swords and just do a lot of damage.
13:45Yeah, I dual wield colossal grade swords that are both plus 25 heavy.
13:49Hayden:In the original Elden Ring that was like doing it on hard mode and now that's like the easier way to do stuff in the DLC Just be able to tank stuff and hit it with big, heavy damage. I'm here to bonk.
14:01Sir, and then Met, met your, the mother of fingers. So yeah, I written out the big hands yeah this is the mom oh so that's a wild. It's that, uh, I got rolled, I got rinsed the first fight because I just didn't, you know, you don't know the moves. And the funny thing about it is , uh, phase jeff, he's, he had already beaten through the game and he was. He got a boss fight and he's like remember, your first attempt at a boss is normally your best run Until you know, because you die, like subsequently, you know however many times and then you finally beat it, but like the first time , you get really, really close.
14:37Hayden:Yeah.
14:38So, like a lot of them, like he beat in one try, he beat Mesmer on the first try, but I mean, granted, he's also beaten the game multiple times, he's gone all the way to New Game 7. Oh well, he just does like, oh, I'm going to do just punching bosses to death. He's doing one right now of beating the game only at level one. And he's already past, godric.
14:58Hayden:That's one thing I've learned is that you always summon the guy.
15:03If you're playing by yourself, if you see a dude who's buck naked and not holding any weapons.
15:06Hayden:That's your guy, that's him.
15:08That dude knows what he's doing. He knows way more than you. If you see some stoutly armored dude with the biggest cheese weapons, it's like, yeah, he's trying, he's trying, you know. But if you see somebody's like I don't even know what he's using, like you know what I don't, I don't need, I don't need to try to find out.
15:23Hayden:Well, that's what. When I'd go to some of these cave bosses that I was fighting, you could summon people to help you. I would always get ready to summon somebody. I'd look and be like he doesn't have any weapons at all. He's wearing like a loincloth. That's the guy I want. You're my guy.
15:47Put me in the mother fingers that that fight. Once I saw somebody do the fight and just like where they stood and like how they bladed off with the, the monster or the boss, I was like, oh so I went and I ran, it did it and I was like I got home and um rachel's coming over, so I was let me try to fight this guy before she gets here. I ran where the fight is initiated the fight, and I ran and I beat him. I was like okay that wasn't bad . Then Radon, the consort of Mikala. That is the toughest fight.
16:18Hayden:You haven't beaten that one, I haven't beaten Radon .
16:20Okay, remember, elden Ring had Lemmy Solar. Yeah, this game has let me tanker or let me tank him. Yeah, I've seen that the dude's just standing with a shield and he's just taking hits and you're just like watch this health bar, like not move and he's just going nuts at this guy . He's just like don't, don't, don't, you know, holding the shield up like a freaking spartan that's what I summoned tom to fight was it. I did summon two random guys to fight Gaius.
16:49Hayden:Who was the one that you?
16:51and they both got rinsed in the first 30 seconds.
16:53Hayden:What was the dual sword? Girl's name again Rolana Rolana . When you use the shield, you're like, hey, she's not hurting me . I was like that's good, but if we're on my account, if I die, we both lose. Because you were just like taking the hits. I was like that's all good for you but you're not hitting it back. I, I was, I was poking yeah, it wasn't helping me, though that's what we that was.
17:18That was the objective getting me past this character look at that point, we had already fought and died 10 times. True, we can experiment. True, we can experiment. So I was like it is tough to summon co-op players.
17:31Hayden:Yeah.
17:32And like in the open, not like you know your friends and you have like the passwords set, yeah, like those gold seals appear and they're already gone . Like you hear the like it's appearing and you run to it and it's like unable to summon because someone already beat you to it and you're just like I didn't have any problem with that so far. But then again, every time I've tried to summon somebody I haven't even been to a boss fight, where it's just random that I've tried to summon- I know I did that with when I fought Radegon, because I mean Yellen Ring, like a lot of people were just doing it just for, like the rune fights in XP, just to keep fighting these guys. Because, eventually, people just had the movesets completely
18:11memorized.
18:13Hayden:Well, what kills me is like you'll fight some of these characters and then you'll summon other people to help you and they literally just run away.
18:26Yeah, it's like what are you doing? They're pushing you at them Like you go get them.
18:29Hayden:It's like I don't want to die.
18:30It's like this is my.
18:32Hayden:And I know that wasn't the case with me, you and Evan, but when we were playing we were both just trying to get out of the way and we are all three rolling the same direction and we're all getting clipped at the same time, because he just kept charging yeah we're all. We're all like. We'd roll left, like all of us would roll left on the same time . Well then, he'd come after us.
18:53We'd all roll back at the same time, just trying to get away from him so I'm playing the game, I'm post, I'm past level 200, new game plus, you know, plus 25 dual coloss, great swords, strength, out the wazoo , endurance, dexterity, health I could take a hit these bosses, they'll rinse. I mean, I can take probably two hits back-to-back, sometimes three depending on the move, and I can roll out and heal Some of them. It's just like, in a way, you go.
19:24Hayden:I cheesed my guy up before the dlc and to where I was like level 251 and I had all my stuff kind of evened out and tom was like no, it's not gonna work and everyone's the same way. He's like that you just need to max stuff out. So I was like all right, hold on. So I went back.
19:40Yeah, because you were getting eaten by the divine beast and getting killed because, like me and evan could both take it if we were full health, we could take it yeah and live so and we're like what's your vigor level at? And evans is like you know, I'm at 280 something. I'm at nine. All right, he's like I'm at 1987, I was like I'm at 1955 I was like 15 and you're like 1500 , it's just like. That's why, like you're 400. Like, come on, get good.
20:03Hayden:So I went and get the larval tier and fixed it. I'm in like the 2000s now.
20:07And now you can take hits.
20:08Hayden:Yeah, I don't have any arcane or intellect, you know really.
20:14I will say I love playing my Giga Chad strength build because it's just fun for me to come waltzing in with two swords that are like 10 feet tall plus, if not 12 feet, jump in the air, bonk somebody watch it, do 2,000-something damage and just be like yeah. And then I medium roll because you know I'm in armor to protect those swords way so dang much because I think I'm going to cheese and just max out endurance and see if I can get to light build while holding it with good armor.
20:43Hayden:With mine. I forgot the name of them, but it's two twin blades that cause blood loss and you can spin both of them at the same time. But I use blood loss with what was it? I either use that or Malekith's blade, but then I've got blood loss and I've got my strength and endurance level way up so with my endurance.
21:04It raises your, was it equipment load or whatever so that I can wear the heavier armor and still be a medium build, so that helps out because , if I can wear it like the Vigaris set it's the set that Moore wears, the the pot guy it looks like it's also it's big bulky stone armor. Yeah, that looks really cool. If I can wear that and medium roll with two great swords, I'd be very happy now because like that's armor, like I could take pretty much all hits and I can still move enough to block or dodge through stuff.
21:40Hayden:One thing I want to figure out is I need to study more on how different armors actually have secret stats to them. That help with different things . I need to look more into that. If you want to use blood loss. There's certain ones that actually add to that a little bit.
21:57So far the best armor I think I've used. I mean, I was wearing Lionel's armor, the super fat armor, and that was good for pretty much anything. That's going to be pure strength. It's going to be like you're not fighting magic wielders or they're not going to do fire damage to you or poison scott rod, whatever holy damage. What have you? The Gaius armor has really good magic defense and strength and just normal physical and then with the talismans like the Pearl, drake or whatever, pretty much kind of put that Pretty much. I think it's probably the best armor set I've. I've had the most success with that one, gotcha.
22:40Hayden:I did find a little bit of armor and stuff down in one of these caves Not caves, but it's like the I don't know, it's like the little maze things where.
22:51Did you find the Sauron armor?
22:53Hayden:No, I hadn't found that one.
22:54That armor looks so cool and the biggest sin is it doesn't have a cape. If that armor had a cape, I would just wear that. I don't care how weak the stats are because it's light armor. But you literally look like Sauron from Lord of the Rings and my character's name is Sauron. My gamertag is Sauron.
23:12Hayden:I have Lord of the Rings coasters. Well then, you need to go. I don't know if you've already beaten the knight that gives you the big mace.
23:18I have it, I have it, I have it. Just run around with that, it's like I have it.
23:23Hayden:Okay, yeah.
23:24I thought like I was running around just wearing it and then I was like I was getting hit and I was like man, I'm taking a lot more damage than I used to. I was like I don't like that, I don't like that at all. But the premise of this game, well, to get to DLC like we talked about, you had to have beaten Radon and beaten Moog.
23:43Hayden:Yeah, and it's in the blood level area, not underneath the Citadel.
23:50Yeah, it's the grace where you get when you beat Moog Right, because behind him is Mikala in the cocoon thing, cocoon of death. And then you spawn out, you come back. Lita the needle knight or whatever is standing there. You exhaust that dialogue and then you touch Mikula's hand and you're transported to the shadow realm. I think it's the shadow world or whatever. I think it's the shadow realm.
24:16Hayden:Like Yu-Gi-Oh.
24:17Shadow realm. Yeah, you see Yu-Gi and Pegasus and all those guys and Joey and whatever their other stupid names are. They're the. Dark Magician, you've had to read him a trap card. There are a lot of traps, so there from what I've gathered is Mikula has made it there and like shed, like, because Mikula's a guy is a boy and has like shed, basically like, basically like his. I don't know really how to like his, his body yeah, so to speak, because you find all these steps and there's all these other npcs who are being guided by mickela who are like other tarnished gotcha that you encounter and you talk to, and some of them become your allies and some of you you're going to fight, like four of them, okay, to get to radon, like in one
25:01fight. Oh, great, and you can, this was the funniest fight. You come in, they're coming at you, you hit the summons and it's like they'll summon when, like the moment's right, uh-huh, and I'm like what does that mean? And I'm like I'm fighting like for my life. And then I see one appear and I'm like where's the other? And I'm like dinging my mimic, like get the hell out here, and like more of them are coming. They're all coming at you and it's just like, oh, now here's the other one, now here's the other one. And I'm like I don't need installments. I needed the whole squad g'd up, all four of us ready to go off the bat this isn't a show up when you feel like it kind of day so like that fight took me like two, three tries and then
25:37on the third try, like it was just one of those good runs, beat the first one, beat the second one, me and my mimic teamed up on the third one, so it was just the last one left and they healed back to full health and it's just that one. It was the needle knight verse. All four of us and we just ran it's just like you're just seeing swords go flying and like explosions and it's just like, yeah, I'll be watching, I'll go. And then you get like all their armor sets now, who's the?
26:06Hayden:I'm sure you've already mentioned it, but who's like the big dragon that you gotta fight, bail, bail that fight if you I mean if you're gonna play, you know, by yourself.
26:16No summons, no cooperators. There's an np, npc you can summon, named Egon the whatever, and like you find him going there and he's just like screaming, like that voice actor understood the assignment, like that fight. When you get him and he just like busts in and it's just like curse, you, bale, and you're just like whoa, like this dude's just yelling, and it's like you will rue the day. And I're just like whoa, like this dude's just yelling, it's like you will rue the day. And I'm just like, yeah, like the dude's just hyping you up the entire fight, and he's just like you're a true dragon warrior and I'm like hell yeah man like I was, like I don't care about my mimic, I just want you to like just go nuts during
27:00this fight. The Bale fight is wild because the lore with him was like he was the oldest dragon and the reason Plasudasax is missing two heads is because of Bale, because on Bale's back you could see two of Plasudasax's heads still bitten into his back.
27:19Hayden:That's pretty cool.
27:21But the Bale fight, that is a tough one. It was tougher than Placidus X.
27:26Hayden:Well, because I mean, I haven't fought this fight yet , but he fills up the entire screen.
27:34Yeah, this was like. I mean even what's his face.
27:37Hayden:Was he a remembrance boss? No, he's not even a remembrance boss.
27:40You don't have to beat him, but it's so worth it. Just for that you get cool stuff.
27:45Hayden:It's good, you get a bunch of runes well, now, if you beat him, it gives you the ability to like. I don't know if it gives you the ability, but it's part of the quest line to where you can actually become a dragon yeah, you get the dragon like armor. Yeah, set, which is cool, yeah it looks pretty cool, it's just, it does look pretty dope and just for that voice actor.
28:03Like I don't know who that guy is, but like I hope he got like double the money, because it wasn't like, oh, you're a tonnish. It's like no, this dude was like he came in like high on coke, like he was just like he's like what am I?
28:20Hayden:I'm just like, yeah, I was like I like the energy, I like the energy. When I first started playing he did introduce me to nightmare fuel of a scorpion and spider. He was like oh yeah.
28:31Oh, the scorpion spiders.
28:32Hayden:Yeah, he's like go through this door. I was like why? What's in the stairways? He goes oh, don't worry, it's just nightmares.
28:37And then it comes like flying out of the sky. He's like ah. Well, I found out that as you ride around, there's a room that has three of them that drop out of the ceiling.
28:44Hayden:Well as I was riding around. There are ones that also have wings as well. Yeah yeah, those are creepiest too.
28:52Yep, Luckily they're only in that one place. Yeah, I know. Because we came, I was, was like, of course it's a spider scorpion. Like I ran and hit him with double box and took like half his health and I was like, okay, these are easy. And I just slid, you know, slid and double ko'd him those, and then the hands are the creepiest thing to me. Uh, wait till you get to like the uh, like the mother, like the finger yeah, like the birthplace of the fingers with like the worm fingers that like shoot this, shoot this, like homing beam, like laser at you. I'm not looking forward to it. And then it paralyzes you and then a portal opens and one of them drops out and just a meat like grabs you and tries to eat
29:30you. Oh.
29:32Hayden:Oh it's yeah, I'm not looking forward to it.
29:38Yeah, you go to the Shadow Realm, meet all these NPCs and they're all like trying to like you know kindly, mikala or whatever. You know, elder Ring does a weird job about explaining the lore. Yeah, the lore normally doesn't come out until like 20 minutes later, like when you start watching the YouTube videos and people like piecing stuff together and doing a lot of research about like who's who and why they're doing what they're doing.
30:04Hayden:I mean still it's.
30:06So they actually stole Moog's body? Oh yeah, and that's how Radon was reincarnated.
30:12Hayden:Okay.
30:13They basically used his body as a vessel to put Radon's soul back into. That's pretty cool actually and brought back prime Radon. But he's got the horns and the horns and stuff like coming out of like his elbow.
30:25Hayden:Oh, radon does, yeah, oh, so you fought him. I have fought Radon three or four times.
30:31Okay and I've gotten, I can get most of the time. I can get him into the second phase pretty simply, pretty easily. It's just from there. It's a wild ride. Easy, it's, just from there it's . It's a wild ride and, like I've only done it a couple times, if I sat down I could probably do it, and you know, in an hour. Yeah, I don't know what it is, but it did feel harder oh, even the guy, uh, miyazaki, is that the guy who does these? I don't know, I'm sure hayden's just like rocking back and forth, like yelling the name. But he even admitted like yeah, we kind of went to 11.
31:02Hayden:Well, I mean it feels harder to fight with you and Evan than it did, to use my mimic, which you know. Not saying that y'all are bad, it just for whatever reason, it just seemed harder.
31:14Yeah, like I wasn't doing as much damage. But, I don't know if it scales me back, I don't know, just because, like I'm, you gotta find all these stupid scatter tree fragments. There's 50 yeah and now get like the max level you can get, and it's only in this map. Yeah, you get you like whatever effects you get, it doesn't translate when you go back to the main maps I think I'm at like five and six. Now I'm at 19 out of 20. Okay, on the scatter tree. And then I'm like eight or nine now with, like the giant firelems.
31:43Hayden:Have you beaten any of those? No, because.
31:45I do barely any damage.
31:47Hayden:Okay, I did find that , if you— I haven't really gone back to fighting them either.
31:51I just run away from them just so I can get to where I'm going.
31:53Hayden:Well, I found this one video that they were talking about. You could hit the foot and just keep hitting the foot and just foot, and you know just when he raises his foot, jump away. It's so hard. But they said, if you just keep doing that, they said it is worth it because it gives you a lot more whatever you need for like leveling and stuff like that in this, in this map.
32:11So so there's a video I watched and it was the location of every single scatter tree fragment okay and I went through it and I was like, oh cool. I was like I found them all and I go and I'm leveling up and I get to 19. I got two left and I'm like what? I was like you need three and I was like, well, where is it? I was like I just got all of them and I think you get it from Radon when you kill him, okay, and then you get the final one and Moog in the base game. You're fine. You have to find the Scattertree Fragments. You're not going to do it without it, you're not.
32:51Hayden:Okay.
32:52Like there's because you scale quickly, early and then it kind of like levels, and then you start to go back up as you collect more of them and they actually buffed players, like the amount of damage that you can put out and damage you take with the Scattertree Fragments, because people were just complaining it was too hard and by the time they did it I'd already beaten eight of the Remembrance bosses and I'm like where was this when I'm fighting the Hippo or Rolanda or Mesmer or the stupid Scattertree avatar ? Where is that? Like I could use that help.
33:26Hayden:Now does the Remembrance stuff I don't know if the Remembrance what are they called? Again Scattertree Fragments. Do those help you at all in the base game as far as like leveling up?
33:37No, it's a leveling system only for this DLC. Okay, so if you have 19 out of 20, you're 20 out of 20 in the Shadow Realm, you're a juggernaut. Cool, you're maxed out. You go back to the main game map and let's say you're level 140-something, or 150, or 160, what have you? You're still going to be like that.
33:59Hayden:Now on New Game Plus. I do admit I need to go. I've only done enough to go to the new dlc through new game plus. I need to go through new game plus regular mode, like regular lands or whatever, so I can get all these weapons and fragments and stuff.
34:13I need to level up my weapons as well, so I will say this game you get so many smithing stones you do.
34:20Hayden:I've noticed that you even get some for just beating regular.
34:23I was getting them left and right because I maxed out the Rinala's Twin Swords Okay, which are really cool because you go into, you know, the Fade or to use FP for it, where one starts glowing blue and fire with like magic damage, the other one just starts glowing with fire and then you can do a magic attack or you can do a fire based okay, and that was really cool and I was like, well, that seems pretty good in dual purpose to use. Yeah, depending on who I'm fighting, like they might be weak to magic, they might be weak to fire, they might be weak to both or one or the other. So I went and I was like I went, did the cheese for four, you know a minute, so I had money to pay for it and then I went and,
34:58you know, started leveling up and I had every single stone, like I had an abundance of each one, because I'd been playing for like 20 hours yeah and I just had all of it just from running around and exploring it. I was like oh, cool. I was like, and I was like, let me use guys to spear. I was like that does gravity based attacks leveled up. And I was like, oh cool, let me go buy all their armor too. I was like, and I got all of it . Okay, I will say I mean I did a lot of exploring. It wasn't until I got about halfway through the Remembrance bosses because I was like, well, I'm going after all of them. I made that like my mission Beat the DLC, but take down all 10. Yeah, because there's a bunch of other bosses.
35:37There's like up to 50, maybe 55 .
35:40Hayden:Okay.
35:40That you're just going to encounter. Yeah, there's up to maybe 55 that you're just going to encounter. If you're exploring and running around, you're going to find them Some videos the shadow keep you need to watch some videos, because some of it just does not make sense.
35:52Hayden:Well, I noticed there was a couple of times I was riding around and I was talking to my cousin. I'd be riding around like wait a minute, the music just changed and then a health bar would appear. I'm like, oh, other way, go to the other one, run away. I'm not doing that right now.
36:05The map design's kind of rough as far as just finding the maps, because there are some where it's like, oh, you need the bottom right, like bottom right, but like a little higher up than just like dead bottom right, yeah, but it took me a while to find some of the map pieces. And you're gonna do this and you're gonna go down here and you're gonna run through there, and then, but make sure, when you're running through this wall you jump off to the side and make sure you land on this, and then you go down here and then you can go through this cave and then you go through here and then you go down and you run down here and then, hey, it forks, and what you're gonna do is not even bother. You're gonna go up here and do this, and then you're gonna get
36:45there, and then it's like oh okay, that was easy.
36:47Hayden:I'm glad I could figure that out what killed me is I went to this one castle and I could see up on the hill looking down at the castle. There was two graces that you could unlock. So I went down to the castle and I got one of them and I could not for the life of me figure out how to get to this other grace. So I had beaten most of the castle and I jumped to these different areas and I made my way down, trying to scale the side of this castle, and I eventually got the grace. And when I got to it I realized there's a ladder that I could have climbed up from the outside of the castle to get to. But I died like five or six times just trying to get to this grave. I ended up having to drop down on top of a tarp.
37:28Hayden:That didn't kill me when I dropped down. That was the only way to get there and then I realized there was a ladder. I was like oh my god.
37:36I think, I'm almost at 50 hours now into this, which is wild that I've played that much, considering like two weeks , considering I have like 150 something hours now on my on that character alone yeah and I was like, are you telling me, I beat the game in less than 100 hours. And then, halfway through it on new game plus, and now the 40 something hours into the dlc, I was like huh, I was like man, I was cruising through the original game. Yeah, I mean, we were, we were just juggernauting our way through.
38:07Hayden:Well, I mean because most of the part for the original game, the way our schedules were, all three of us were playing at the same time for hours on end at night.
38:16Yeah, we were playing four or five hours. You know, probably I'd say average four hours.
38:20Hayden:Yeah Well, because, like I said, all three of our schedules were pretty much the same and we had the time, so we were all three leveling up and just going through kick a butt. It was fun.
38:29It was great. I will say this DLC it's a great. Everybody thinks it should be game of the year, but I don't think it can because it's a DLC.
38:38Hayden:Which kind of sucks? But I mean which kind of sucks? But I mean, like, like I'll say at the beginning, it's basically more than most games that come out nowadays. I mean it's, this dlc, has more in it and it's longer than a lot of base games.
38:52Yeah, so, and I've been really I haven't been this excited or just enjoyed a game in a long since, probably since the original one, since Elden Ring came out two years ago. Oh yeah, and we were just having just fun, just running around exploring. I will say, the toughest bosses I've come across who aren't like the main boss line guys are those horned like knights. Yeah, the ones who, like they do the step and, just like you know, super sprint into you like Jedi knights and they got, like the giant swords. Those dudes do not go down easy , like at all, and I'll be beating the brakes off of them with giant swords, doing jump attacks, you know, plus with the talisman for enhanced jump attacks, the raptor armor to boost it, and I'm doing like
39:38barely damage on these guys and they are effing me up. It is not fun. Those dudes are some B. And then the running guy with the double spinny blades yeah, they just show up out of nowhere that can run faster than your horse sprinting. And then there's enemies you can't kill in the forest, like the shadow you can't summon Torrent at all you have go on foot oh that sucks, yeah. But there's these like scatter tree, like mini avatar, glowy head, uh, demon things. If they see you, they scream and fly right to you and grab you and kill you like you. You cannot hit them. You do not do damage against them at all. You can't kill them I don't think I've seen those, so you have to like crouch and like, stealth your way through and
40:30like the grass, and then you have to watch out, because there's certain flowers. If you bump into it, it'll, it'll ring and they'll come, fly into the spot. So you basically have to like, time their movements, when they're not looking at you, to run across and get to the next little bit of patch of grass and it's dark and cloudy and foggy and you just see their glowingness and you're just like oh yeah, I haven't come across those yet. Yeah, you have to go through those to get to the Frenzy Flame guy who basically has a sword impaled in his head and pulls it out and his head explodes. Okay, mydra. And then he's got the glowing frenzied flame head thing and he's just doing madness damage to you the entire time.
41:12Hayden:I haven't come across that yet.
41:13But me and my mate, we beat the brakes off that guy in like 30 seconds Because I was taking damage and I did the madness thing, but so much health didn't kill me. I health back damage and I did the madness thing, but so much health didn't kill me, I health back up and I just ran. I was like ah, and I hit him with both my swords and I watched his health bar go poof. I did a third almost damage and I was like oh okay, my memory just comes running in. I was like we just beat the crap out of that guy. He was like get the hell think you're a smart snake messing with time Needless to say you've enjoyed it. I have been enjoying this. I haven't touched Call of Duty. I haven't wanted to play Call of Duty.
41:51Hayden:And when I get the chance. This is all I've played so far as well, but I've really enjoyed playing what I've gotten to play as well.
41:58They do a lot with. I mean, there's so much in this DLC that I haven't even found.
42:02Hayden:I mean, I do kind of cheat. I don't have time to just sit there and explore. So I'll see a video Like, hey, go do this to get to that, then try and beat it to unlock it. So I'll watch the video and I'll run along the path they show.
42:14I'm pretty sure now I have every grace I have, I think, think almost every single . I don't have all the revered spirit ashes, but I don't really care about that.
42:24Hayden:I don't have all the graces, but I do have graces all over the map to where I can kind of get to what I need, and there's certain parts on the map .
42:29You're not going to get graces just because the map's not designed it like that okay and there's like a tunnel you can take and they'll take you this. And I'm like, oh, like there's like a whole new map, like hidden underneath the map. I was like where are we going? And then it's like ghostly, like death knights, like trying to kill you, and you're like, ah , and then the, did you find the ?
42:56Hayden:uh, you don't remember, like the jar guys the like, the ones you could summon to fight Radon. Yeah, the jar thing I haven't seen any of them in this new game.
43:05What have you seen them without the jar?
43:07Hayden:No.
43:11It's gross. Okay, it's disgusting.
43:14Hayden:I hadn't seen it.
43:14Because they'll grab on you and explode and it's.
43:19Hayden:I don't like it. I don't like it, no. Oh okay. Well, since this has pretty much been like a long review, do you have any news?
43:29Yeah, we need to unpack. I mean, obviously we haven't recorded in what two weeks, right, because you were on vacation so we did a lot. So last week the streamer community took a gigantic hit with Dr Disrespect.
43:42Hayden:Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
43:43Yeah. So the reason he got banned from Twitch in 2020 was apparently because in 2017 he was sexting a minor on Twitch Whispers, which I guess was like a messaging thing on Twitch back then. That's now since gone, but apparently reading all the articles was like he got called, like they told him like hey, this is a minor like, and he was like, nah, it's fine, I'm not doing anything wrong, and he just kept doing it. So. But Twitch paid out the contract to him and like they banned, like they didn't talk about it, so then he went to YouTube and then, whoever, some ex-Twitch employee suddenly tweets. That's why, yeah, and everybody loses their minds. Yeah. And then Midnight Society, which he co-founded.
44:32His gaming production company immediately dropped him. Oh really yeah. All of his endorsements are gone. Youtube demonetized all of his channels.
44:42Hayden:I know YouTube did that. I know, like his other stuff, that he founded All the other streamers.
44:48like are, like you know.
44:52Hayden:Bye Distancing themselves. Yeah.
44:54And then Doc like tweeted out some like long tweet where he basically admits to it , to doing it, and it's just like these were mutual casual conversations, it's like what it's like, that sometimes leaned into being inappropriate. It's like, alright, dude, it's like you've already cheated on your wife and then apparently there's more stuff coming out where some other girl who was doing like I don't like only fans crap was like getting hit up by Dr Disrespect on Twitch and like getting like stuff from her and they just blocked the account once he got like photos so I mean he's just, and then people Uh-huh and like getting like stuff from her, and then he just blocked the account once he got like photos, uh-huh.
45:30So I mean he's just, and then people are like what's wrong with this dude?
45:33Hayden:It's like he's 42.
45:33It's like what do you mean? He's 42? He's an older dude. I didn't realize he was that old. Yeah, so he said he's taking a break and she on like coming back, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, does it need to? And then a lot of people are like. You need to like, they need to release the messages yeah, I mean because messages aren't gonna lie. It's just like, yeah, these are the messages. It's like you know, infer from it what you will, because everybody's like, how's he not in jail? And it's like, well, well, you, obviously, if he was doing like what would be like obscene contact with a minor. Yeah, he would be. Like they would have to report that to the police, right, or you know some sort of law enforcement entity and you know,
46:18let them run through it. But I mean, if that hadn't happened, I mean he would have been in jail, yeah, so it's kind of like what was being said. Then again, what the hell is wrong with you, dude, like why the hell are you sending dirty messages to a minor? And you got told, yeah, and it's like what the hell Like, dude, like, get your head out of your butt.
46:39Hayden:I mean, it would be one thing if you were doing it and then you found out and then stopped. But when you did it, you found out, and then you kept doing it yeah, and then you're making excuses for it, knowing that you know, yeah, it's a little much there. And then like, basically like, shooting himself in the flicks. He put out this like three paragraph tweet about how he was doing it yeah, well, because at first I was like oh well, you know, maybe you know he found out that she was minor. Afterward I was like oh, I can excuse that, you know, on accident. But then when I found out that he continued to talk to him and then he made up excuses in like the long tweet that he had made, I was like well, that's too much there.
47:16Hayden:Yeah, it's like you're trying to minimize and downplay I mean, obviously he's got the money now so it doesn't matter, but he's got all his money so he could stop streaming and be okay.
47:34But you know? I mean, I don't know what his finances are.
47:37Hayden:I'm imagining he's probably doing he was doing well oh, I'm sure, because I like every time I'd seen him outside of streaming, he was driving around Lamborghinis, that's an old Lambo. But he was on the sidelines at the San Francisco 49ers games.
47:51Yeah, they dropped him as their affiliations with him.
47:54Hayden:I figured they would.
47:57He was part in an NBA game. There was a couple of games he was in where characters were modded on him and they immediately patched it and got rid of him.
48:05Hayden:Yeah, I saw that too.
48:07He's just like your goose is cooked. Doc and Z-Lantern, who played him a lot, Tim the Tapman, nick Merckx they're all like nah man.
48:17Hayden:And then Nick Merckx got banned from Twitch?
48:19What?
48:20Hayden:did he get banned?
48:20for For saying tranny .
48:25Hayden:What. Yeah get banned for, uh, for saying tranny what, yeah, but I mean I don't care, cancel me, yeah, but that's if it is what it is. What's the wrong?
48:37call on what it is yeah, and then a lot of people were like, yeah, he's kind of been going like hardcore into this, like anti-gay, like hate sort of stuff, and it's like it's not just like you know, he's just like he's like you know I don't agree with it, you know, but whatever like he's like getting like really really aggressive about it and like swearing at people. It's like, yeah, I think twitch is like okay, champ, enough of that enough of you but uh, okay, well, that's interesting yeah, the Dr Disrespect thing was probably the biggest video game like gaming world news so far okay.
49:14Hayden:Well, in other news last night I was you know, I love wrestling, so I was watching wrestling, I was watching Money in the Bank and John Cena announced that he will be retiring in 2025 from wrestling.
49:26That's next year.
49:27Hayden:Yeah, he's got plans to wrestle between 30 to 40 more matches throughout next year and then that will be the end. He wants to have one more run in WWE where he wrestles the past, the present, you know, to just kind of give a good-, a farewell tour. Yeah, he wants to have a good send-off to the new talent, the old talent that's his friends. But he announced that more than likely around WrestleMania will be his last couple of matches.
49:53And he's just it's not like you know, oh, he's leaving wrestling Like that's it . It's not like dudes like the Undertaker or something, or like you know, bret Hart or Shawn Michaels, like dudes who are just known for wrestling. Yeah, like he's just going to go back to acting. Oh yeah, he's going to go back to acting Like he's not going to like just disappear off the face of the planet Like the dude's just going to go back to being in Hollywood.
50:15Hayden:He is to the level of like Undertaker Shawn Michaels, stone Cold. He's to that level there for 20 years involved in wrestling. But yeah, he announced his, uh, his retirement. Um, originally, like he came out on, uh, the thing he's like I'm retiring and everybody's like what, what do you mean just retiring? but then he uh, clarified he kind of clarified a little bit on tv and then they had like a they do kind of like a post-game press conference, now for wrestling, after the pay-per-view, and he kind of clarified that he's going to be wrestling between 30 to 40 matches over the next year and that'll be the end. He wants to kind of, like you said, give a farewell tour. I thought that was kind of interesting news for fans Just
50:59Hayden:saying yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Now to get to the real business.
51:06Superman.
51:06Hayden:DC. People are already freaking out over James Gunn's interpretation of character costumes. They don't like Superman's costume. One's a picture of the costume and one's a damaged costume, like from something that happened in the movie they're complaining about. Oh, it doesn't look muscular like Henry Cavill's, and all this. They complained about the Green Lantern costume that they've seen. I haven't seen the Green Lantern one.
51:33The Superman costume doesn't look bad.
51:34Hayden:The only Green Lantern picture you've seen so far online is somebody taking a picture of them on set doing stuff from a distance. And all the characters that are there's Hot Girl, there's Mr Terrific they all have a certain type of costume to, where they all match each other but have their own insignia on it as well . But it's because the character Maxwell Lord is almost like he sponsors the Justice League in this era or whatever. So they all have matching costumes that have Lord Tech because he's Maxwell Lord, so his brand on all their like. They're all wearing like a team suit kind of thing and people are like, oh, that's a horrible costume. It's like it's supposed to look bad because they're on a team.
52:19It's like the seven. It's like Vaught. Yeah, it's like the seven over here.
52:23Hayden:And it's Guy Gardner with Nathan Fillion. It's not supposed to look like your top of the tier stuff. It's not designed that, but they're freaking out over a picture that some other person took of him on set.
52:37And that's just the set, not with any editing to it, Right exactly that's why I was like dude, just chill out.
52:42Hayden:Exactly that's why I was like dude, just chill out.
52:51There's a new movie coming out called F1, which will be like a Formula 1 racing movie. I was like F1 is like Formula 1 .
52:53Hayden:And with Brad Pitt starring. I don't know what all the movie entails of, but it's some kind of racing movie.
53:00It's only a matter of time before Brad Pitt was going to do a racing movie.
53:03Hayden:A little more info on dc that I have is uh colin farrell penguin series. It will have uh robert pattinson like showing up every now and then as batman but it has gotten really good reviews over people. That for people that have seen her.
53:19People were losing it because they saw our bats with that in the back costume, but he didn't have a cape. I don't know and then Catwoman was just wearing leather and a motorcycle helmet, and it's just like what is this. It's like we got all this money and we can't get a cape or a normal costume.
53:34Hayden:I don't know about that, but I know that the Penguin thing comes out in September and supposedly he's going to make some appearances. But it has gotten really good praise from, I guess, people that have seen it early. They said it shows what the crime in Batman should be if you're seeing stuff from their point of view. So I'm interested to see how the criminals view Batman from their point of view.
54:00Goody two-shoes do-gooder. Well, no, Messing it all up.
54:04Hayden:Well, no, because like in the the robert pattinson batman, he's looked at like he's kind of like the boogeyman out there. So I'm interested to see how they do that they're scared, like you know.
54:13You know what yes of him.
54:15Hayden:Oh, let's see as he proceeds to give him all mild brain damage uh, let's see the the batman, the brave and the bold, which will be James Gunn's first Batman movie. It says the Flash is Andy Muschietti, so he's the director from the most current Flash movie that just came out, with Michael Keaton and all that. He's going to be the director of the Batman, the Brave and the Bold. So we'll see how that goes.
54:41Is Robert Pattinson going to be Batman, or is it a new person?
54:43Hayden:It's going to be a new person. They're trying. Well, fans and the actual actors are pushing, trying to get it to be either Alan Richeson or Jensen Ackles as Batman and Bruce Wayne Jensen Ackles, I think so too. Let's see. Then I had one more.
55:05Just so we can have the complete meme of him from Supernatural with the rabbit's foot going I'm Batman. To him going I am Batman.
55:10Hayden:And then I had Batman the Caped Crusader, which actually comes out in August, which will be the animated series. It's supposed to be kind of a continuation of the original animated series, but it's targeted more towards adult because it'll be on Prime Video. But let's see.
55:26So, like they did with X-Men 97, now they're going to revive Batman, the Animated Series. Kind of. What about Batman?
55:33Hayden:Beyond. This is a. It'll be Hamish Linklater will be the voice for Batman, which have you seen Midnight Mass on Netflix? He's like the main actor from that. Christina Ricci will be Catwoman, the voice of Catwoman, jamie Chung. Let's see Frances Stone Cold Fox. She's going to be the voice of Harley Quinn, and then Diedrich Bader will be the voice of Two-Face, which I don't know. If you ever saw the Drew Carey show, he's the guy on the far left. He's done a lot of other acting . I forgot what. There's some movie where he's like this real, like redneck guy . He's like no hell, no man. No, I can't remember what it was. He's known for more comedic stuff, but he'll be the voice of Two-Face. Let's see.
56:23Hayden:And then also on HBO Max. I didn't realize he's known for more comedic stuff, but he'll be the voice of Two-Face. Let's see. And then also on HBO Max. I didn't realize, like I never saw anything leading up to it about it, but there's a Suicide Squad TV show that came out. Out there it's like an anime style.
56:38And no one told you.
56:40Hayden:And there was no news or nothing, but it's like an anime style Suicide Squad, like the cartoon looks anime-style. Yeah, it's got three episodes out, but it's called Suicide Squad Isekai, so I mean it's like an anime, but it's got the first one through three episodes it says this little review here says a solidly fun and moderately bloody fantasy romp. The Harley Quinn looks similar to Mark Robbie's Harley Quinn. It's got Killer Shark, deadshot and a couple other characters that I can't tell who they are from the picture, but I didn't realize it was on Mac, so I'm going to have to go check it out . That's all I have for now.
57:23That's all I got. Now we're an episode. Yeah, yeah, we talked about Elden Ring for quite a bit. We did and. Hayden's like good, now it's over. Now we can talk about something else instead of Elden Ring.
57:33Hayden:Well, if he was here, he'd be talking about it too. He'd be enjoying it.
57:48He's just mad because he can't play because he don't have time, it, no, it's. He'd be home by the time it's downloaded. Well, I did a fun top tip, uh, because I download. You know, shadow the archery installed, it played, and then I touched the hand to go to the new world yeah and then my game just froze like it wasn't doing anything. So I backed out of the game, closed it, turned it back on and then I couldn't load into my character, would go 25 on the bar and then when it wouldn't go at all, oh and like the game's like you know, oh, like backing out could cause like damage to your file and I'm like if I lost my new game plus character so I restarted the game again and I loaded in as my backup character
58:20, as my second playthrough guy, tim tim loaded just like that and I was was like okay, so that works. So I backed out and then I loaded back into my main guy and it still wouldn't do it. So I ended up having to delete all like the local save data, uninstall the game, go through all these steps, reinstall it and like factory, factory, like reset my Xbox. Okay. And then redownload the game. And then I played in because everything was like hard stored, like all your save files, like stored like the cloud or whatever for Xbox. Okay, so I loaded back in and it was like all my characters were there and I was like, oh, and I clicked on it and I was like, yes, thank you, jesus, because if I had lost you know
59:06100-plus hour character, I would have been heartbroken, I would have been heartbroken.
59:12Hayden:Yeah, that would have been a lot of work gone.
59:14So if you were having an issue, there is a way to salvage your guy if that happens to you.
59:22Hayden:I don't have to you.
59:22And that's basically, if you're playing Elden Ring and you back out on a loading screen, the power goes out, the game crashes or whatever, and you can't load back in. You have to go through a bunch of steps of clearing certain caches and doing certain things and then uninstalling the game and then reinstalling the game, which obviously takes time, depending on your internet speed get it all back and then reload back in.
59:43Hayden:Depending on how much you've invested in your character.
59:45How much you've invested. You can salvage it. You can save it, it can be, done. Okay, there is a way. Well, good, good. So that's a top tip.
59:52Hayden:Top tip from Tim Tim Well man, you are one pathetic loser, screw man you are one pathetic loser, Screw you and thank you for listening to Entertain this.
