- Who the fuck is Phil fooling, telling people that he didn't look up guides. We all know he does. Dude gets his ass reemed by Malenia for the first couple of tries. Then by the next stream he just so happens to bring a fire weapon and knows that she has a low resistance to it? Does he really mean for us to believe that under the haze of nightly gin and liquor that he somehow now knows the bosses elemental weakness? He's not fooling anyone, so why even ride this lie out.
So you don't use summons, Phil. And? That doesn't make you a better player, because you're still defaulting to the same boring Jump+R2 strategy, so you didn't learn anything. No one is going to give you props for that, especially since you've proven that you suck at the rest of the game without summons.
The only thing that "came through" is that Phil's Elden Ring playthrough is probably some of the most boring and more drawn out playthrough of the game that I've seen. I actually hope he doesn't do a redemption run of this game because watching him play this game is pain. Not even restreams do it justice, and that says a lot.
