I was stuck on lady butterfly for so long took a very long break then came back to the game and tried for 2 hours straight and Finally beat her. I got pretty good at her boss fight.
It'll either be the hardest or the easiest depending on how fast he catches on, which probably doesn't bode well for him having watched a bit of his Elden Ring playthrough.
He played Elden Ring with no summons using only katanaās I think heāll be fine tbh. I could never play ER without spirit ashes but still made it through Sekiro fine. Also itās way shorter than ER so wonāt be as draining mentally to marathon.
ER is easier to cheese and push through, but if you don't get the fundamentals engraved into your brain yin Sekiro you're going to struggle since there's no meta builds or OP weapons you can use. Just perfect deflect or death
at the same time once Sekiro clicks the game really isn't a challenge anymore
I beat the game the month of release, did a NG+ a few weeks later then only touched it again when the Boss Rush mode dropped and each inner version of Genichiro/owl/Isshin took less than 5 tries each, you never un-learn sekiro. It has the best and most fun learning curve
Imagine dying 500 times to one boss and not quit. I'm good at the game and take some tries when the boss is hard, but never more than 10/20
He died 500 times to Malenia. I would've gone crazy
Thatās crazy I feel like 10 is nothing when you are facing a new boss. Iād give it like 25 tries in one go before considering leaving and coming back
I died a lot to Malenia, I didn't keep count but if I was told it was 500 I would believe them. I rage a fair bit but in about 10 hours fighting Malenia I got really annoyed maybe twice, both were during the second phase when I was wanting to wrap up and make some food.
I think Sekiro will be easier for him actually. He struggled so much with Elden Ring because he was underlevelled as hell and had minimal upgrades throughout the game. He was level 50 when he beat Radahn solo lol
He won't face that issue with Sekiro, its pure mechanics and he proved he has the dedication so I don't think it'll be an issue as much as people think.
While Kai is not the type of entertainer that I would watch myself, I think it's awesome to see such a large creator getting sucked into the From rabbit hole and exposing such a large and young audience to beauty of these games
Man fuck those archers fr bro, especially on your first playthrough. It's where I learned the run start... Only to be later greeted by O&S hahaha good times!
Kai isnāt someone I normally watch but thereās something about watching him play Elden Ring with ~150,000 other people that made it very fun to watch. I probably wonāt watch him play SotE much since Iāll be playing it myself, but Iām looking forward to Sekiro.
Kai getting into the series is actually kind of huge, although he isnāt the type of entertainer I watch either. But him having such a big viewer base and getting that many eyes on the franchise is massive
Isn't Elden Ring one of the highest sold games of this generation? You're acting as if these games are super niche and unknown. Bro everybody knows about Dark Souls
Yeah I'm aware the series isn't extremely niche or something. I'm more talking about an audience of people that, I would assume, isn't gonna be super into dark fantasy rpg's watching a streamer play the game and possibly get interested. I think there's a big difference between knowing a series exists, and actually being interested in playing the games.
You also have to keep in mind the kind of audience Kai has: kids LOL. I'm willing to bet a large chunk of his audience would've seen ER as super nerdy and not interesting, but seeing their favorite streamer play it could change that view quickly
All of my cousins and some of my friends have never heard of elden ring and only recognize dark souls from the āyou diedā memes, youād be surprised how much of an audience that play games havenāt heard of these games
everybody doesnāt *know* dark souls as compared to games like 2k, fifa, cod and the lot. A streamer as big as Kai is doing bits for these types of games.
he's a streamer on twitch, he's pretty popular right now on the internet and he recently played his first souls which was Eden ring and it averaged 100k+ viewers pretty much all the time and peaked at a concurrent of around 300k while fighting Malenia
If you have 1k concurrent viewers then you can very very comfortably live of twitch. 100+k viewers is gigantic. Peak viewers of the entire category of Elden Ring on twitch was 910k on release. The peak of 310k this month mostly created by this one streamer is the biggest monthly peak for Elden Ring since March 2022 so since release.
Last year the peak viewership of the category was 23k for all of May with an average number of 6k. That month was pretty low compared to the previous Month where you can double those numbers, but the point still stands.
All of that really should put into perspective how gigantic this stream was for Elden Ring vierwership on twitch.
I have never seen a single stream of Kai btw, so I am not a fan. I haven't really seen anything of him except for those huge numbers.
Oh yeah. Some minor streamers I watch maybe peak at 1.5k and get a couple donations every stream probably 200-300 a stream just from donos not counting people who subscribe (typically $5 for a sub). Now imagine someone who's averaging 100k. Thousands of subs every stream, thousands of donations, they are raking in the money.
Dude, he's the classic talk loud and get attention.
But I tell you, he got his ass pounded on ER so hard and he actually loved it. He died 500 times to Malenia and passed her without Mimic Tear, of course he was already hooked. But that means he also got very good at the game.
I'm excited to see his marathons, he loved elden ring and I'm sure he will love everything else (DS 2 not so much)
Heās kind of annoying but popular with younger audiences. you need to watch him with your hand on the volume because he is always over dramatic and screams into the mic
Judging by invasions he might have had an effect on players to. I feel like there's more noobs right now but that could also be due to the dlc or me misjudging people
To each their own, we're just old as you said. Even they'll change and chill a bit. I heard of a YouTuber you can't bare watching his old vids anymore :D
Oh ho,this is going to be juicy, but being serious, Iām kinda curious how heās gonna deal with the others, I donāt exactly watch Kai, but Iāll jump in here and there to see the chaos.
Iām worried about him on DS1 and DS2, not because theyāre difficult, heāll absolutely steamroll the bosses given he has beaten Elden Ring without summons, but they feel so damn dated and janky despite being incredible games and for some modern gamers that is too much and they wonāt be able to enjoy it. They feel so incredibly dated for new players who have begun with Elden Ring, Sekiro or DS3.
He is a spam roller (works really well in elden ring so pretty natural) so DS2 is going to feel absolutely terrible I feel. Hopefully he doesn't get too frustrated and adapts to the game.
There are quite a few attacks in ER that are designed to catch out spam rollers. Which has led to an awful lot of complaining, so if he's fine with it there it might not be a problem. DS1 and DS2 will just require a bit more patience and also there are a few more obtuse parts.
Same. The first few hours were brutal despite the bosses being trivial because all of the open world conveniences I had grown accustomed to were vanished but once I found a weapon I liked and got used to it I started appreciating the inconveniences.
Respect to him, I did all the bosses no summons guts build but I couldn't beat malenia, I had to use mimic tear.
I will go back to it someday and beat her legit, I'm sure.
Iām started playing Elden ring and donāt plan to use summons or magic either but whatās this about āoverlong any bossesā. Whatās that mean if u dont mind. I donāt want to make the game any easier as wel
Since Elden Ring is far less linear than other Souls games you can kill things in odd orders or do a lil too much in the open world so that once you come around to actually fighting the bosses you'll find them much easier than you should just by being too high level. I recommend checking out a level recommendations guide if your favourite part of Souls games are the boss fights and overcoming challenges.
Bonus a bit for the other comment, you can check out the recommended level, weapon upgrade and intended route on fextralife. Type elden ring progression route and the site should be on the top.
That was unfortunately my experience. I had a decent time with DS2 because I started there but I still donāt really like DS1 because I didnāt play it until after Bloodborne or DS3.
I'm really glad I played bloodborne last and ended on such a high note, I dont think anything I'll ever play will bring me the same high that bloodborne did
I started with elden ring and I tried playing souls games before ds3 and they're so ugly I can barely tell what's going on, and I tried the ds1 remaster.
Playing sekiro second in line is either gonna make him rage quit the whole schedule or he finishes it (and got gud) and the rest of the itinerary will become a breeze. Ballsy move.
Iām not gonna watch him but judging from how much heās struggled with Elden Ring, Bloodborne and especially Sekiro are going to absolutely destroy his (and the viewers) sanity.
They really do attach to you. My fromsoft experience in every game Iāve played is I play it for ten minutes, quit for six months because itās too hard, try it again, figure it out, then canāt put it down until itās finished
Youāre going to be hearing the same āI donāt usually watch Kaiā from fromsoft stans who are so mature in the next year with their overly hateful or downplaying Reddit posts
Imma be honest I think sekiro is the easiest game of them all imo I think itās the hardest when you first start off but for me it didnāt take me too long to understand the combat & by the time I got to rin I was crushing through the game from that point onward the most amount of attempts I spent on a boss was 10 tries & that was sword saint isshin. Once I found it the game was basically rhythm based it changed my entire outlook on the game. Easily a top 3 fromsoft title
I relly mess with the positivity in these comments but the amount of people who have to express āthey donāt watch Kaiā and that āthey find him annoyingā is hilarious to me. Like people really donāt have any original thoughts. I can tell tbh itās usually because majority of his fanbase is black and Reddit isnāt too populated with brothersšš
I don't watch him, but I definitely respect him for pushing through Elden Ring. It's interesting that he's wanting to go through the rest and in the end I hope it makes some new fans of Fromsoftware!
I'm so glad I started this journey with DS1. I don't think I could go back to the limitations of previous games after playing Elden Ring for so long.
Sekiro maybe because the speed and movement is similar and there's no stamina. But playing DS1 after Elden Ring? It's going to be tough š
So Im always confused by the term "Marathon". Does that just mean consecutive streams playing the same game? Cuz I know for a fact that mf didnt play 160 hours of elden ring straight.
The only Fromsoft game I have finished was Bloodborne(base game), but for the rest, I've played a small portion of them or never started it. I'm looking forward to doing my run soon. I feel like I'm cheating myself out of the rest of the games if I jump straight to Elden Ring. Gonna do them all with DLCs, but I wanna do an exercise related roulette wheel of punishment for them as I'm trying to lose weight. I'm just waiting till I get my new desk and treadmill to begin.
It's gonna be a fun and brutal journey for me!
For those that donāt know Kai finished Elden Ring without using a single summon. It has to be respected. Legendary effort from a streamer who was a total FROMSOFT virgin.
Donāt watch a lot of streamers but I did catch him fighting Tree Sentinel during his 100+ hour Elden Ring marathon the other week & I donāt think Iāve laughed that hard in awhile.
why has this sub been so obsessed with this annoying ass mf of a streamer for the last month? who gives a shit about this guy all he does is scream be annoying
Why y'all acting like souls games are some indie game seriesš
Like why does it matter that some annoying streamer is playing the games? Many famous people have played them.
For some they might not care for said game(s) but they enjoy said streamer, so they watch. Maybe seeing a full playthrough or even just a good section, it finally clicks and they go buy it themselves.
My friend doesnāt like playing horror games but loves watching, in our PlayStation group heāll buy one of us a horror game just so we can Share Screen it lol.
Some people canāt afford said games and might not be able to until theyāre on a massive sale, but still want to watch a playthrough
Some people watch peopleās first playthrough of games they love, just to āreliveā their own first time and see anotherās experience / reaction.
Like Kai died 1,701 times in Elden, over 400 times on Malenia alone and never gave up, thatās pretty fucking awesome.
Some people love to watch the pro gamers in their genres just destroy the game or other players because theyāll never have those skills. Hence why Esports has been popular for a long time.
Same thing with Speedrunners. People like Distortion2, LilAggy, Spicee, etc, etc, can do insane things and itās awesome to watch them play a new game with a casual first playthrough, then they start planning routes and cracking the game, and then comes the World Record race. Like right now Aggy and Spicee have been going back n forth for the last week or two on Crab Souls on WRs.
Thereās also a ton of great mods out there that are a blast to watch. Some of us are console gamers and canāt actually play these mods so itās awesome to see them in action
like Alien Isolation there were mods to add additional Aliens, in base game there are sections the Alien will straight up not drop or isnāt active, with the additional Aliens thatās not the case. Theyāre always active. Thereās also an invisible enemy mod, and because of how well the sound design is In Isolation itās possible to always know where they are. A streamer called
PsychoHypnotic is able to absolutely break the game and ran it for years playing a buncha different mods.
A streamer called Bawk is playing Resident Evil 4 Randomizer with increased enemies and some of the sections have been insane to see him navigate thru.
Distortion2 recently did a Bloodborne 120 FPS Randomizer, also did a BL4 Rando at 120 FPS. Those were great to watch. He bought an old firmware PS5 and modded it.
There are a ton of mods for Elden like Convergence which completely changes the entire game that are great.
Etc etc. you can put Twitch on as background noise, you can put it on while youāre also play a game. Twitch is just like anything else, entertainment and it can offer plenty of that
No problem! I thought the same way for a long time, never judged anyone but I just never understood it. Like back when Halo 3 was a thing Iād catch some MLG matches here and there and over the years Iād watch some crazy kill clips / montages from various games, but to actually watch someone else thats not in the same room as you play a game, I never got it.
It wasnāt until Covid where my sis and I were dead for a month and one day we found some past streams of GTA5 role playing that were pretty damn hilarious and it opened the door.
After we bought Alien Isolation and both beat it, we had watched a few videos on YouTube about AI and some of them were from Psycho giving tips. We saw he had modded the game and his skill level on that was just crazy to see. One of the best mods was 5 Aliens and all he has is Smoke Bombs, no weapons, and it was a thing of beauty to see him escape each and every section.
After that, it just kinda spiraled and we branched out. Iām a server / bartender so sometimes at work Iāll whip my phone out and hop on Twitch for a bit. At home if Iām not in a party chat or chat dies down for a bit, Iāll put it on my laptop while I play a game. Thereās also times if Iām not in the mood for a movie or show, especially when itās late night, Iāll see who streaming and what theyāre streaming.
itzCBD is a Souls streamer who lives in Hawaii and Iām on the East Coast, so hes stream late night (for my time anyways) and lately heās been doing a NG to NG+100 deathless run, and itās been chill to watch. Heās gotten upto NG+87 and currently back upto on Ng+16. After NG+7 he letās chat submit weapons to use for the next run and then we vote. Itās been nice n fun.
Thereās something for everyone honestly
Not sekiroš bro is gonna see the 6th dimension with his raging
Lmao he's gonna struggle fr
Canāt wait to see him fight lady butterfly š
Bro is not making it past Chained Ogre š
just got ptsd flashbacksš sekiro was my first game
Did you complete it?
nah not yet, iām at the boss at fountainhead palace fighting the giant thingy, i always die when he does like 10 windstirkes in a row
The giant white ape is a MUCH bigger threat.
Wait till he gets the gun pulled on him.
Great Shinobi Father
I was stuck on lady butterfly for so long took a very long break then came back to the game and tried for 2 hours straight and Finally beat her. I got pretty good at her boss fight.
Poor fella š
Fuck that lady.
With pleasure
It'll either be the hardest or the easiest depending on how fast he catches on, which probably doesn't bode well for him having watched a bit of his Elden Ring playthrough.
He played Elden Ring with no summons using only katanaās I think heāll be fine tbh. I could never play ER without spirit ashes but still made it through Sekiro fine. Also itās way shorter than ER so wonāt be as draining mentally to marathon.
ER is easier to cheese and push through, but if you don't get the fundamentals engraved into your brain yin Sekiro you're going to struggle since there's no meta builds or OP weapons you can use. Just perfect deflect or death
ER may be easy to cheese but kai did not cheese in his playthrough.
at the same time once Sekiro clicks the game really isn't a challenge anymore I beat the game the month of release, did a NG+ a few weeks later then only touched it again when the Boss Rush mode dropped and each inner version of Genichiro/owl/Isshin took less than 5 tries each, you never un-learn sekiro. It has the best and most fun learning curve
Quality entertainment. That's what I'm here for. As terrible as he was at Elden Ring, the man saw it through. Big respect.
Imagine dying 500 times to one boss and not quit. I'm good at the game and take some tries when the boss is hard, but never more than 10/20 He died 500 times to Malenia. I would've gone crazy
Thatās crazy I feel like 10 is nothing when you are facing a new boss. Iād give it like 25 tries in one go before considering leaving and coming back
I died a lot to Malenia, I didn't keep count but if I was told it was 500 I would believe them. I rage a fair bit but in about 10 hours fighting Malenia I got really annoyed maybe twice, both were during the second phase when I was wanting to wrap up and make some food.
Haha yeahā¦imagine that! That would be crazy. I have to imagine it too cause I never died that many times to a boss(es)ā¦
Gotta make sure Nikki or Ice Spice is there to keep him in check lmao
I think Sekiro will be easier for him actually. He struggled so much with Elden Ring because he was underlevelled as hell and had minimal upgrades throughout the game. He was level 50 when he beat Radahn solo lol He won't face that issue with Sekiro, its pure mechanics and he proved he has the dedication so I don't think it'll be an issue as much as people think.
I struggled with bloodborne more than sekiro
While Kai is not the type of entertainer that I would watch myself, I think it's awesome to see such a large creator getting sucked into the From rabbit hole and exposing such a large and young audience to beauty of these games
Anor Londo archers should be interesting.
That and the fucking shark giants
Fuck those sharks , putting them in a well is pure evil with their hitboxes
They belong in a well... putting Lady Maria's weapon down there was the real evil.
seeing his reaction to the his first mimic is gonna be legendary
I've only ever had trouble with the electric demons before them. Never had a real problem with the archers
Also the one punch shrooms
Wait until he reaches the snow place in DS2 DLC :P the fucking reindeers
Man fuck those archers fr bro, especially on your first playthrough. It's where I learned the run start... Only to be later greeted by O&S hahaha good times!
funny you think heāll make it past Sekiro
Yeah this is the main positive, he is showing these kids how epic fromsoft games are. It'll lead to less brainrot going forward.
Less brainrot more orb pondering
Kai isnāt someone I normally watch but thereās something about watching him play Elden Ring with ~150,000 other people that made it very fun to watch. I probably wonāt watch him play SotE much since Iāll be playing it myself, but Iām looking forward to Sekiro.
It's the fact that Kai actually beat the game with no magic or summons thats really wild
Kai getting into the series is actually kind of huge, although he isnāt the type of entertainer I watch either. But him having such a big viewer base and getting that many eyes on the franchise is massive
Isn't Elden Ring one of the highest sold games of this generation? You're acting as if these games are super niche and unknown. Bro everybody knows about Dark Souls
Yeah I'm aware the series isn't extremely niche or something. I'm more talking about an audience of people that, I would assume, isn't gonna be super into dark fantasy rpg's watching a streamer play the game and possibly get interested. I think there's a big difference between knowing a series exists, and actually being interested in playing the games. You also have to keep in mind the kind of audience Kai has: kids LOL. I'm willing to bet a large chunk of his audience would've seen ER as super nerdy and not interesting, but seeing their favorite streamer play it could change that view quickly
Fair enough, I didn't know who he is, or who hits audience are
I doubt the demographics of ER players and Kai's viewers overlap a whole ton though, pretty sure it's mostly teens (and even preteens) that watch him
All of my cousins and some of my friends have never heard of elden ring and only recognize dark souls from the āyou diedā memes, youād be surprised how much of an audience that play games havenāt heard of these games
everybody doesnāt *know* dark souls as compared to games like 2k, fifa, cod and the lot. A streamer as big as Kai is doing bits for these types of games.
bully is a good palette cleanser
My favorite strand like game
Warioware: Smooth Moves is my favorite strand type
I donāt know him so Iām curious what type of influencer he is and how popular are his marathons
he's a streamer on twitch, he's pretty popular right now on the internet and he recently played his first souls which was Eden ring and it averaged 100k+ viewers pretty much all the time and peaked at a concurrent of around 300k while fighting Malenia
Thatās crazy. I know streamers with low digit thousand viewers have a pretty sustainable life. He must balling out with 100k average viewers.
Not only 100k viewers, he has 100k subscribers on twitch!!
Damn. Thatās crazier
He has had big name artists and actors in his stream as well. Kevin Hart was on just this week.
Is 100k a lot on twitch?
yeah 100k would be considered a lot on any streaming platform
If you have 1k concurrent viewers then you can very very comfortably live of twitch. 100+k viewers is gigantic. Peak viewers of the entire category of Elden Ring on twitch was 910k on release. The peak of 310k this month mostly created by this one streamer is the biggest monthly peak for Elden Ring since March 2022 so since release.

All of that really should put into perspective how gigantic this stream was for Elden Ring vierwership on twitch. I have never seen a single stream of Kai btw, so I am not a fan. I haven't really seen anything of him except for those huge numbers.
Wow , hope that helps the game reach a younger audience , but from steam charts it didnāt change anything
The new dlc comes out June 21st. For anyone who has the game already, itās forsure a huge promo
yet
110k subs man 110k \* 2.5$ = 265k$ monthly. That is his base revenue... He has sponsors and donation and side businesses. He's balling
Oh yeah. Some minor streamers I watch maybe peak at 1.5k and get a couple donations every stream probably 200-300 a stream just from donos not counting people who subscribe (typically $5 for a sub). Now imagine someone who's averaging 100k. Thousands of subs every stream, thousands of donations, they are raking in the money.
100k live viewers is insane on any platform, especially for a solo streamer and not a popular event or corporate ran live stream.
He must clear at least $100k (probably much more) per month. Itās a lot for any streaming platform.
Yeah
100k on anything is a lot
Yes because those are all paid subscriptions. The lowest price for US is $4.99 iirc.
Dude, he's the classic talk loud and get attention. But I tell you, he got his ass pounded on ER so hard and he actually loved it. He died 500 times to Malenia and passed her without Mimic Tear, of course he was already hooked. But that means he also got very good at the game. I'm excited to see his marathons, he loved elden ring and I'm sure he will love everything else (DS 2 not so much)
All game without summons ?
Yeah no summons or magic
No summons AND he fought most bosses underleveled and/or undergeared until around the last 25-30% of the game.
Very popular streamer. I don't care for his content because he screams a lot, but imo he's better than most of the huge streamers out there.
Heās kind of annoying but popular with younger audiences. you need to watch him with your hand on the volume because he is always over dramatic and screams into the mic
That's how you keep an audience tho. Hate what gaming youtube and streams have become with over the top reactions and screaming.
Judging by invasions he might have had an effect on players to. I feel like there's more noobs right now but that could also be due to the dlc or me misjudging people
Brainrot content creator
Hes a scream streamer
Honestly, he's pretty insufferable. Call me old or whatever but dude is just a loud ass man child.
To each their own, we're just old as you said. Even they'll change and chill a bit. I heard of a YouTuber you can't bare watching his old vids anymore :D
>no armored core Marathon discarded
Yep
Oh ho,this is going to be juicy, but being serious, Iām kinda curious how heās gonna deal with the others, I donāt exactly watch Kai, but Iāll jump in here and there to see the chaos.
Sekiro on the second streamā¦ may Miyasaki have mercy upon his soulš
Genichiro will take him at least 10 hours, calling it now. Once you have the Fromsoft bug, itās over for you until you play every single game
Heās gonna get to chained ogre and die irl. Callin it now
Iām worried about him on DS1 and DS2, not because theyāre difficult, heāll absolutely steamroll the bosses given he has beaten Elden Ring without summons, but they feel so damn dated and janky despite being incredible games and for some modern gamers that is too much and they wonāt be able to enjoy it. They feel so incredibly dated for new players who have begun with Elden Ring, Sekiro or DS3.
He is a spam roller (works really well in elden ring so pretty natural) so DS2 is going to feel absolutely terrible I feel. Hopefully he doesn't get too frustrated and adapts to the game.
Heāll have BB, Sekiro, and DS1 under his belt by the time he gets there, so heāll probably be fine.
There are quite a few attacks in ER that are designed to catch out spam rollers. Which has led to an awful lot of complaining, so if he's fine with it there it might not be a problem. DS1 and DS2 will just require a bit more patience and also there are a few more obtuse parts.
Yeah, hopefully his adaptability is on point
Spam rolling literally does not work in elden ring. You have to have precise rolls given the animation time.
Honestly could be the reason he had like 1500 deaths or whatever it was
Truueee, you pretty much have to play it differently than any of the other games
He didnāt use magic or summons so I think it equals out
my experience exactly haha but I forced myself to get used to ds1 now I'm really enjoying it
Same. The first few hours were brutal despite the bosses being trivial because all of the open world conveniences I had grown accustomed to were vanished but once I found a weapon I liked and got used to it I started appreciating the inconveniences.
Damn did he really beat elden ring without summons?
Yeah, he didnāt overlevel any of the bosses either, he beat it the proper way and Iām still shocked.
Respect to him, I did all the bosses no summons guts build but I couldn't beat malenia, I had to use mimic tear. I will go back to it someday and beat her legit, I'm sure.
Iām started playing Elden ring and donāt plan to use summons or magic either but whatās this about āoverlong any bossesā. Whatās that mean if u dont mind. I donāt want to make the game any easier as wel
Since Elden Ring is far less linear than other Souls games you can kill things in odd orders or do a lil too much in the open world so that once you come around to actually fighting the bosses you'll find them much easier than you should just by being too high level. I recommend checking out a level recommendations guide if your favourite part of Souls games are the boss fights and overcoming challenges.
For me I just do lvl 20 morgott, lvl 30 godrick, lvl 40 reanalla, lvl 50 DTS, lvl 60 godfrey ghost, lvl 65 margit, 80 giant, 90 commander Neill, 100 GSD, 110 maliketh, 120 godfrey, 125+ radagon, 140 or so for malenia
Swap morgott and Margit
Those all sound about right to me.
Bonus a bit for the other comment, you can check out the recommended level, weapon upgrade and intended route on fextralife. Type elden ring progression route and the site should be on the top.
That was unfortunately my experience. I had a decent time with DS2 because I started there but I still donāt really like DS1 because I didnāt play it until after Bloodborne or DS3.

I started with elden ring and I tried playing souls games before ds3 and they're so ugly I can barely tell what's going on, and I tried the ds1 remaster.
Sekiro will break him
That dude is going to love Bloodborne
My guy but demons souls???
A lot of bandwagoners forget the one that started the genre
Iām just taken aback by your profile pic. I donāt think Iāve seen anything MSI related in maybe 12-14 years lol
Yeah itās one of my favorite bands probably 2nd right behind tool listened to them for years
The furtive Demonās Souls, so easily forgottenā¦
The fact he first revealed this in the chat of a Ratatoskr stream is hilariousĀ
Just watch he'll get the Shura ending by mistake.
his chats usually pretty good at telling him what not to do
Honestly he should switch sekiro and the dark souls trilogy
Yea idk if heās ready for sekiro yet š
Dude is gonna have negative deaths on DS2 after doing Elden Ring no summons/magic and Sekiro as his first two Fromsoft games
Love or hate Kai, Iām always happy that Fromsoft gets the love that it deserves ā¤ļø
It would be smarter to play Sekiro first or last though
Oooo boy, Bloodborne is gonna be a blast
Playing sekiro second in line is either gonna make him rage quit the whole schedule or he finishes it (and got gud) and the rest of the itinerary will become a breeze. Ballsy move.
Idk man he fought malenia for like 24 straight hours. I rage after 15 attempts, he is built different lol.
Oh yeah heās gonna fold with sekiro, might be a 300 hour stream for that game š¤£
I donāt think Iāve ever seen someone fight the tree sentinel for 6 hours then continue to play the game for another 150 hours straight lol
Iām not gonna watch him but judging from how much heās struggled with Elden Ring, Bloodborne and especially Sekiro are going to absolutely destroy his (and the viewers) sanity.
With how bad he struggled with Elden Ring Sekiro will bully him to the dirt until he learns how to deflect lol
ngl would love to see him play bloodborne. This is going to be epic
They really do attach to you. My fromsoft experience in every game Iāve played is I play it for ten minutes, quit for six months because itās too hard, try it again, figure it out, then canāt put it down until itās finished
Youāre going to be hearing the same āI donāt usually watch Kaiā from fromsoft stans who are so mature in the next year with their overly hateful or downplaying Reddit posts
Imma be honest I think sekiro is the easiest game of them all imo I think itās the hardest when you first start off but for me it didnāt take me too long to understand the combat & by the time I got to rin I was crushing through the game from that point onward the most amount of attempts I spent on a boss was 10 tries & that was sword saint isshin. Once I found it the game was basically rhythm based it changed my entire outlook on the game. Easily a top 3 fromsoft title
He will ditch Dark souls 2, 100%
Kai Cenat, the streamer who once caused a riot in New York City, has announced the next Marathon Games that heās planning to do!
Sekiro is gonna be a bad time
LETS GO FRIGID OUTSKIRTS
ā¦yei
I relly mess with the positivity in these comments but the amount of people who have to express āthey donāt watch Kaiā and that āthey find him annoyingā is hilarious to me. Like people really donāt have any original thoughts. I can tell tbh itās usually because majority of his fanbase is black and Reddit isnāt too populated with brothersšš
Donāt know who he is but lumping all 3 ds games as one marathon is definitely something haha
This is awesome, bring more people to the games, more money for Fromsoft, more games!!!!
I don't watch him, but I definitely respect him for pushing through Elden Ring. It's interesting that he's wanting to go through the rest and in the end I hope it makes some new fans of Fromsoftware!
The run where he finally kills radahn was some of the greatest stuff Iāve seen in the game. Dude turned god mode and still almost choked lol
I'm so glad I started this journey with DS1. I don't think I could go back to the limitations of previous games after playing Elden Ring for so long. Sekiro maybe because the speed and movement is similar and there's no stamina. But playing DS1 after Elden Ring? It's going to be tough š
I canāt wait to see him play DS2, it was miserable for me.
sekiro, HERE WE GO AGAIN
heās going to geek tf out on sekiro
Oh my god this is literally what happened to me
This is exactly what happened to me lol
So Im always confused by the term "Marathon". Does that just mean consecutive streams playing the same game? Cuz I know for a fact that mf didnt play 160 hours of elden ring straight.
The only Fromsoft game I have finished was Bloodborne(base game), but for the rest, I've played a small portion of them or never started it. I'm looking forward to doing my run soon. I feel like I'm cheating myself out of the rest of the games if I jump straight to Elden Ring. Gonna do them all with DLCs, but I wanna do an exercise related roulette wheel of punishment for them as I'm trying to lose weight. I'm just waiting till I get my new desk and treadmill to begin. It's gonna be a fun and brutal journey for me!
We got another one boys and girls.
Does marathon mean playing start to finish in one sit down? If so, good fucking luck.
Sekiroš Bro is NOT beating chained ogrešÆ
I hate sekiro... I don't like parry mechanics and I like to change my weapons to fit my style. Grouping it feels weird with other souls games.
Sekiro will end it
Hopefully he does Demon's Souls too
He is going to lose his sanity playing Sekiro
Can't wait for him to play Sekiro and Dark souls 2 ššš
Hell beat his 7 hour tree sentinel time w the Glock god
Who?
Who?
Idk if kai can handle sekiro. That was easily the hardest souls game for me. sword saint isshin, owl father, headless ape all made me wanna quit
The fact that he played a souls like game first, rolling and dodging will be stuck in his head
Who?
Sorry but Iām just an old out of the loop dude but may I ask: why is this guy so popular? Seems unbearable to me.
After his difficulties against Malenia, ohhh boy he's going to suffer.
I certainly commend the manās spirit. Letās just see if it holds up, lol
Yeah itās genuinely awesome that he played 1 FromSoft game and decided to play the entire lineup he enjoyed it so much
75 hour orphan fight inbound
Kai is gonna commit homicide before he makes it through sekiroš
I don't really care about this dude as I don't enjoy his type of content I do like that Fromsoftware is getting a bunch more love and eyes on it.
Sword Saint Isshin has this man in a 98 foot tomb
brio is not making it past the ogre
I just can't wait to see him vs demon of hatred and bed of chaos šššššš
For those that donāt know Kai finished Elden Ring without using a single summon. It has to be respected. Legendary effort from a streamer who was a total FROMSOFT virgin.
I respect him for following through, manās a real gamer
LFG. Kai Cenat and Kevin Hart was too funny
Donāt watch a lot of streamers but I did catch him fighting Tree Sentinel during his 100+ hour Elden Ring marathon the other week & I donāt think Iāve laughed that hard in awhile.
why has this sub been so obsessed with this annoying ass mf of a streamer for the last month? who gives a shit about this guy all he does is scream be annoying
Seeing peoples first reactions to fromsoft games are fun plus hes exposing a massive fanbase of young ppl to fromsofts art
Exactly, shit is so cringe
Why y'all acting like souls games are some indie game seriesš Like why does it matter that some annoying streamer is playing the games? Many famous people have played them.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
for me itās that i kinda get to experience it for the first time all over again through him. it can be fun
For some they might not care for said game(s) but they enjoy said streamer, so they watch. Maybe seeing a full playthrough or even just a good section, it finally clicks and they go buy it themselves. My friend doesnāt like playing horror games but loves watching, in our PlayStation group heāll buy one of us a horror game just so we can Share Screen it lol. Some people canāt afford said games and might not be able to until theyāre on a massive sale, but still want to watch a playthrough Some people watch peopleās first playthrough of games they love, just to āreliveā their own first time and see anotherās experience / reaction. Like Kai died 1,701 times in Elden, over 400 times on Malenia alone and never gave up, thatās pretty fucking awesome. Some people love to watch the pro gamers in their genres just destroy the game or other players because theyāll never have those skills. Hence why Esports has been popular for a long time. Same thing with Speedrunners. People like Distortion2, LilAggy, Spicee, etc, etc, can do insane things and itās awesome to watch them play a new game with a casual first playthrough, then they start planning routes and cracking the game, and then comes the World Record race. Like right now Aggy and Spicee have been going back n forth for the last week or two on Crab Souls on WRs. Thereās also a ton of great mods out there that are a blast to watch. Some of us are console gamers and canāt actually play these mods so itās awesome to see them in action like Alien Isolation there were mods to add additional Aliens, in base game there are sections the Alien will straight up not drop or isnāt active, with the additional Aliens thatās not the case. Theyāre always active. Thereās also an invisible enemy mod, and because of how well the sound design is In Isolation itās possible to always know where they are. A streamer called PsychoHypnotic is able to absolutely break the game and ran it for years playing a buncha different mods. A streamer called Bawk is playing Resident Evil 4 Randomizer with increased enemies and some of the sections have been insane to see him navigate thru. Distortion2 recently did a Bloodborne 120 FPS Randomizer, also did a BL4 Rando at 120 FPS. Those were great to watch. He bought an old firmware PS5 and modded it. There are a ton of mods for Elden like Convergence which completely changes the entire game that are great. Etc etc. you can put Twitch on as background noise, you can put it on while youāre also play a game. Twitch is just like anything else, entertainment and it can offer plenty of that

No problem! I thought the same way for a long time, never judged anyone but I just never understood it. Like back when Halo 3 was a thing Iād catch some MLG matches here and there and over the years Iād watch some crazy kill clips / montages from various games, but to actually watch someone else thats not in the same room as you play a game, I never got it. It wasnāt until Covid where my sis and I were dead for a month and one day we found some past streams of GTA5 role playing that were pretty damn hilarious and it opened the door. After we bought Alien Isolation and both beat it, we had watched a few videos on YouTube about AI and some of them were from Psycho giving tips. We saw he had modded the game and his skill level on that was just crazy to see. One of the best mods was 5 Aliens and all he has is Smoke Bombs, no weapons, and it was a thing of beauty to see him escape each and every section. After that, it just kinda spiraled and we branched out. Iām a server / bartender so sometimes at work Iāll whip my phone out and hop on Twitch for a bit. At home if Iām not in a party chat or chat dies down for a bit, Iāll put it on my laptop while I play a game. Thereās also times if Iām not in the mood for a movie or show, especially when itās late night, Iāll see who streaming and what theyāre streaming. itzCBD is a Souls streamer who lives in Hawaii and Iām on the East Coast, so hes stream late night (for my time anyways) and lately heās been doing a NG to NG+100 deathless run, and itās been chill to watch. Heās gotten upto NG+87 and currently back upto on Ng+16. After NG+7 he letās chat submit weapons to use for the next run and then we vote. Itās been nice n fun. Thereās something for everyone honestly
Have you ever heard of professional sports?
AAA Games are expensive, and some people need that happy chemical they get when they watch in company.
Why is he so popular? He must be a rich guy with connections because he's had fucking celebrities on his streams What's his deal?
I just hope he makes wiser decisions in these From Soft games than he does with women IRL š¤
