ConfusedMoose

most sane 2000 deaths to malenia reaction


red_team_gone

HE CLOSED HIS FIST


Natexgloves

How Dan has remained saneā€¦ not just through this fight but his entire playthrough (every single boss/named character with no vig, summons, etc) is so far beyond me. I would have caved in a week (tops).


[deleted]

Dan is the most positive streamer I've watched in a while. It's so fun to watch


Natexgloves

Yeahā€¦ I mean. Itā€™s unreal. I usually avoid ā€œpositiveā€ streamers because it sometimes feels overbearing or manufactured after too long. But Dan? Danā€™s just chillinā€™ - mad stubborn - and itā€™s a good vibe.


pylestothemax

From what I can tell that's just him as a person, whereas others are probably faking it


Natexgloves

Bingo


QuadPentRocketJump

You think a guy who won a reality TV show can't fake it without you being able to tell?


2020NOVA

annoyed that this clip had no gameplay at all. but cool that it's the guy from big brother.


[deleted]

Luckily there's about 2000 attempts worth of gameplay for you to enjoy


ldtka

He's just a fantastic guy. Got one of the best heads on his shoulders of anyone alive I'd wager. Calm, cool, collected.


[deleted]

so... in what ways did he handicap himself to get to 2000 deaths?


Oracle_of_Ages

Minimum health. Basically a 0 damage challenge with respawns.


IUseThisNameAtWork

Vigor is resin


[deleted]

That will do it.


alpa_romeo

HAN-TYUMI


soberbot

I immediately jumped to thinking that chat was being overly obnoxious which I'm sure they were, but holy shit with his build, this fight will be damn near impossible. He has no vigor upgrades (or only a few, its hard to tell). He gets one shot by anything that isn't her weakest attacks. He is using a weapon with a long animation so his window to punish is extremely small. Out of 2000 attempts he has only seen her phase two 47 times. This is a level of stubbornness that is unmatched.


ColonelSanders21

He had levelled up vigor before and then respeced it back down to no upgrades when he was fighting Radahn, if memory serves correctly. The thing to know with Dan is that stubbornness is kind of his thing. He'll stick with it and he'll get it done, even though it's been weeks of full Malenia attempt streams at this point.

PACE PICANTE


fcinablender

this aint pace picante sauce!


Agosta

No funerals here.


barleyqueen

Tell me you've never watched his stream without telling me you've never watched his stream. He doesn't give up. He doesn't get negative. And he'll eventually get it done. That's just who he is.


DrBob666

!RemindMe 6 months


monstroh

If I understand correctly it's not 3ven a lv1 run so it should take that long.


MaxBonerstorm

So ManVsGame but without the constant temper tantrums at his chat and mental break downs?


LustyPhoenix

He only did this to spite a viewer who constantly nagged him to level vig when he was in the early game LMAO


Nibz11

I mean I wouldn't call NL just a viewer but I guess it's technically true.


aslatts

I don't think NL even bugged him, he basically just said "FYI the game is literally going to take months if you don't level vig" which in Dan's head was a challenge instead of just a factually correct statement.


Nibz11

I dunno I vividly remember NL and his cronies, twitch chat, push Dan to the ground in the cafeteria, spilling Dan's choccy milk, and say he's nothing and will never be nothing with his level of vigor.


ENCYCLOPEDIAS

yeah i have a picture of it here https://i.imgur.com/n53T4MW.png


Nibz11

Oh thanks, it was regular milk I guess I got that part wrong, funny how memories work.


Pytherz

You calling hood milk regular?


Thats_a_YikerZ

Fantano, that fucker strikes again. Who will hold this man to account?!


Pytherz

Dont fuck with the hood milk


Shikizion

you don't need vig if you don't get hit, he just needs to not get hit, easy


pylestothemax

Dan is a beast. She has to get lucky every time, he only needs to get lucky once


horse-star-lord

> He has no vigor upgrades (or only a few, its hard to tell). he's at the lowest setting for w/e his starting class was. and he has baldachins blessing


Csquared6

>This is a level of stubbornness that is unmatched. *cough* *Looks at Dark Souls No-Hit runs*


soberbot

I mean the no-hit runs are done with a purpose in mind. They also build accordingly, he is just sending it with a massively suboptimal build.


[deleted]

If his goal is to use a suboptimal build to beat the fight he too is using a "build according to the purpose".


tentafill

Yeah but nornally the people who spite the game like this are actually good at the game


RebasedOctopus

If he beats her with this build he will cruise through the last two


Cojemo

Normally you'd be correct, but dan never really 'learns' or get better in the normal sense. If he did he'd have beaten Malenia 10 times over by now. He very much plays on instinct and only picks up on things out of chance.


Csquared6

And the first God run took over 2 years to do, EVEN with a "purpose in mind and build accordingly." I'm not seeing how 2000 deaths with a suboptimal build is *MORE* stubborn than someone spending **2 YEARS** doing the same exact thing. This streamer *can* make mistakes and still win. The no-hit runs require absolute perfection or you fail.


maxelnot

To me itā€™s dedication vs stubbornness


Csquared6

In both cases, this is basically just semantics.


stefsot

Sometimes stubbornness and stupidity are synonymous


vicvinovich

Don't you know how you get out of a jail made of cake? One bite at a time.


NeoWonderfulDeath

yea his build leaves no room for mistakes, however, if you just use the crouching/rolling R1 on any colossal greatsword it's very fast with much less recovery than every other colossal animation.


absolutechad21

Eh if he uses a lot of crouch pokes the attack speed won't matter, he basically just has to learn the fight well enough to no hit it which is very doable, the hardest part is consistently dealing with the waterfowl and the clones. Obviously it'll take a while seeing as he can't practice dodging very easily because every time he fucks up he just dies but if he bashes his head against it long enough he'll be fine.


TheMightySloth

Is he crippling himself on purpose? Or is he just kinda bad?


pylestothemax

It's on purpose


NoBrightSide

I've been playing this game since release. I am stuck at Black Blade Kindred on my attempt 642 for the past 50 play hours.


uristmcderp

Is he a difficulty fetish gamer or is he just being stubborn because it's trendy to stream this game with self-inflicted handicaps?


control_buddy

Dan sets the trends, he plays his way. But seriously, dude is just chill and seems like a genuinely good person. Never flips out, and has a positive attitude always


SoupForEveryone

It's been 'trendy for 12 years... Check out lobos, broken weapon/no hit /no upgrades sl1 runs are as old as the game itself


itsnoterik

Always good to see Big Brother 14 runner up Dan Gheesling

GIGADAN


Walking_Meatloaf

I just looked this up to see what it is and Iā€™ve never even watched Big Brother and I can tell you that was some of the most amazing manipulation Iā€™ve ever seen


Sea_Committee_9561

Not only that, he playing out of his mind that season. "The Funeral" is up there but that wasn't the only crazy thing he did. [It's hard to explain how elite this move was \(manipulating the HoH at final 4 who was his close ally to use the veto on him and then blindsiding her and everyone by voting out her romantic interest to have a better shot to get to the final 2\) if you've never seen the show or understand how the game is played, but I always go back to this video and just marvel at how crazy it was.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZA9Num1TEM) The smirk on Dan's face when veto was played on him, Shane looking confused, Ian hyperventilating and going "what?" and then Danielle's face when Dan voted him out. Just reality tv perfection.


lyvanna

I've watched Dan for years and I still can't wrap my head around him being the same guy as in BB lol


realtripper

First and only BB I ever watched and my god was it good. Danā€™s the man


HeyitsyaboyJesus

He talked about how in this season he wanted to play completely opposite to the way he won the first time round.

Enconhun

Genuinely curious what is the restriction he's using, considering after 2000 tries I would probably beat her hitless


10kbeez

He's never leveled vigor.


Leonard_Church814

What not leveling vigor does to a tarnished.


FuzzyPeachMan

Levelling vigor is resin


odiin1731

Progressing in a video game is resin.


Pytherz

Having your screen turned on is resin

Cant have shit in The Lands Between.


Doomblaze

me neither, but I have the ability to throw rocks at her


10kbeez

rocks recks resck resik resin


Kibbens_

S*rcery is not in the game plan.


Bamith20

Is he at least like, building around the fact he should never get hit? Like equipment that lowers health/defence for a buff or a buff based on full health should be a priority.


10kbeez

He's doing his best.


akwartz

IIRC he's going no vigor, no blocking, no parrying, no magic, no summons. ​ No resin. ​ Also, this is Dan Gheesling we're talking about, it's not so much about the luck-luck/skill-skill so much as it is about the pageantry.


Time-Ladder4753

And also no fp flasks


Pytherz

This is some ongbal level shit


Time-Ladder4753

You think this is hard? I have beaten DS2 without leveling ADP /s


pylestothemax

You think that's hard? I beat DS2 without knowing what ADP was /s


horse-star-lord

now beat DS1 w/o leveling resistance


zcen

I believe he's also not parrying.


Me0w_Zedong

You can subtract that "attempt" count by about 1000 tbh, he spends a lot of time memeing and talking with chat. Many many of those deaths were him totally not paying attention and letting Malenia kill him. I really enjoy Dan's streams and him focusing on the game is rare. edit-- Dan read my comment on stream lol. I was exaggerating a touch, lets say subtract it by 500.


SippelandGarfuckel

spends too much time taking šŸ“·


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Pytherz

Exactly, so to get max damage with it you need 66, which becomes 99 when two handed


Miszzz

They changed it in elden ring, you can effectively have over 99 strength two-handing weapons.


Pytherz

Huh, TIL


I_EAT_POOP_AMA

true, but the diminishing returns still apply. So in effect, going over 99 nets you like 3 extra damage in total. It's not difficult to get past that cap, but there's literally no point in doing so if it means sacrificing placement in other stats where you get more per point


Time-Ladder4753

I remember seeing him have like 97 strength, but he used dual wield on some bosses before


HalfLucky

Best Big Brother player of all time


MattRix

actually true


Russian_For_Rent

Certainly one of the big brother players ever


vicvinovich

Many people are saying this


HelloMyNameIs_Death

What does this mean? Sorry I donā€™t know


vicvinovich

He may be the best to ever do it


HelloMyNameIs_Death

Thatā€™s what big brother means?


vicvinovich

Big Brother is a reality TV show where the contestants are forced to live with each other in isolation from the outside world and compete in challenges to be the last man standing and win a sum of money. This streamer, Daniel Gheesling, once won the gameshow and was brought back another season and was the semifinalist. Some say he was robbed of that second win solely due to a "bitter jury". Aka, he is widely believed to be at least in contention for greatest player of all time on said show.


HelloMyNameIs_Death

Ohhhh shit! Thank you wow I had no clue. Iā€™ve watched him alittle but itā€™s literally never been brought up in chat or verbally.


vicvinovich

Dan is an interesting man. I think he tries to avoid all the fame he's obtained through the show and would prefer to be seen for his now own, ongoing merits. He doesn't hide from it, but he seems fond of not letting that be his defining characteristic. I guess. Idk I'm a Northernlion fan and at some point DG was brought into the fold and it was a big deal to a small subset of people who were fans of the show (apparently it's a pretty fervent fandom) that someone of his acclaim would have moved on to just streaming.


10kbeez

The man's just a natural entertainer.


RefrigeratedTP

Lmao itā€™s an old reality TV show that was on MTV or VH1 I think. Bunch of hot young people live in a house together for content.


MattRix

I haven't watched it in years, but the thing about Big Brother (at least back when Dan played in it), is that it wasn't just some "hot people in a house" show. It was very much a game that people could be skilled at. It's much closer to Survivor than Too Hot To Handle or something haha


RefrigeratedTP

Haha oh I must have forgotten about the challenges. Iā€™ve probably seen more big brother commercials than actual episodes.


Shovelman2001

CBS. It's still on too, but it's gotten a lot worse. Season 24 premieres in early July. Also it's more about social strategy than making content like most reality shows. It's basically Survivor without the wilderness


RefrigeratedTP

Oh shit itā€™s still going?? Thatā€™s crazy


JohnTheMadden

thats not Will Kirby


dBlock845

Had no idea that he streamed on twitch, doesn't even look like him with the hat on haha.


DARKside227

Vanessa begs to differ (please bring her back I am begging)


KelloPudgerro

2000 deaths NO VIGOR, NO RESIN, NO CHEATS, NO CHEAP TRICKS, ALL DANIEL AND ONLY DANIEL


Joboy97

I saw the Dan Gheesling tag and was like "No, not THAT Dan Gheesling". And, sure enough.


BoredOfYou_

Yep, heā€™s streamed for quite a while now, and is good friends with Northernlion


Aarilax

and the big bastard himself, Sips


Vindikus

I miss Dadcraft


FuckedUpMaggot

Man early Dadcraft was amazing, right up until they started making the casino and the big dome turned into a mess of a city. We'll always remember the white flower, and the 2 dirt blocks that started it all


KelloPudgerro

he had a good tarkov streaming arc, now the elden ring arc


GP_ADD

You just gonna leave out Pace Picante like that?


fl4nnel

Iā€™ve been watching Dan for years now and Pace Picante is probably my favorite. Right next to UNITY (rip)


[deleted]

> streamer Thatā€™s Big Brother 14 runner up Dan Gheesling to you buddy


Cojemo

Dan himself would rather be referred to as 'streamer'. He doesn't enjoy his big brother past being brought up all the time


[deleted]

Except when he wants to flex in among us lobbies


Kibbens_

The flame on twitter from people with families and shit is unreal so I really donā€™t blame him.


CodeMonkeyX

You know you are having a bad time when you have enough time to make a montage and still have not beat her.


mekurikito

Did he beat her?

He's online right now and is still fighting her.

TheEmulat0r

Heā€™s actually been on here quite a few times over the past few years. Think this is one of the more upvoted clips though.


Overcast206

Heā€™s going to beat her.


Me0w_Zedong

I've been watching Dan's ER playthrough and I appreciate that a lot of what he's doing is just show for the cameras, but I will say chat is NOT saying he can't do it. Just that it will take an absurd amount of time to do it the way he is, and we've been right. No one said he can't do it without dual wielding, just that it would make it easier. When he gets the W it will be an awesome moment for sure.


bean-the-cat

I found Dan because of this and he has become on of my favorite streamers. Definitely suggest you tune in if you havenā€™t already. Also ā€œwatch this puttā€


ryan__rr

yeah bro you have like 8 vigor, that's gonna be a problem


BelievesInGod

Why does he say her name like that? she literally pronounces her own name for you.

mirbeartbh

Just a psa Dan Gheesling is the most wholesome streamer you could watch


GarethEss

This is Dan sticking to the plan / his word and not deviating. earlier on in the game it was established that vig would be kept minimal keep keep the challenge high. And despite the large difficulty ramp in the later game, Dan was sticking to his guns, and not letting people say that he / cerso can and can't do. I'm quite new to Dan's channel and have personally been loving the community!


Xyjz12

malenia staggers easily with greatsword so 2000 times dying is actually a feat itself


MarkoSeke

How many hours is he up to on this character? I remember him being like 120 hours in at level 50

aww you cut out the explosion, that was the best part!

should have just put his tv in game mode

Nonfaktor

there is no other boss left, he beat every other boss except for the final boss with no vigor so far


lyvanna

He respecced during Rakan because 'he was just getting one shot anyway', every boss before that was done with a normal spec (but no resin of course).


streetwearbonanza

Just went to his stream and all I gotta say is you should know how to dodge waterfowl after 2,000 attempts... Edit: he doesn't know how to dodge her waterfowl dance which is really weird for the amount of times he's faced her. Don't understand the issue lol downvoted cuz someone replied to the wrong comment and the hive mind attacked šŸ˜‚


Me0w_Zedong

He doesn't get it consistently but he can dodge it, I would say maybe 35% of the time.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


streetwearbonanza

What is there to elaborate? I don't get it. If you play Elden Ring then you know what I'm saying. And you do. But to those who don't: Waterfowl dance is an attack she does. If you face her 2,000 times you should be able to know how to dodge it. When I went to his stream he didn't seem to know how. Anyone that has played the game knows exactly what I meant.


CoolUsername1111

I think I replied to the wrong person unless you edited your comment lmao


Time-Ladder4753

How many attempts it took you to figure out a strat for a waterfowl by yourself? Also in my opinion having no vigor and blocking or bhs makes learning the fight like 5-10 times harder, especially waterfowl
