Sorry for the bad audio in some parts of the vid, gamers. My streaming software apparently reset it's mic settings 💀
also the Paintings Three hoodie goes away tomorrow (FOMO): crowdmade.com/collections/zanny
you’re a truly dark souler zanny
Oof
@Freedomameer Nah, dark soulers are angry all the time and gate keep. He´s a dark souls ENJOYER.
@A Guy Online could this be a zanny elden ring video reference?
MORE DEEP ROCK
Zanny just letting Siegward kill the boss rather than finding the storm ruler was incredible
I beat the game multiple times years ago and I never knew this was an option lmao
Yhorm. The boss is yhorm
Neh pretty sure he doesn't know about that sword
Honestly I did the same I didn't find the storm ruler until I went back looking for what siegward dropped because I just teleported away ended up with 2 I'm more surprised he did more than 2 damage with his Farron greatsword
Quite unfortunate he doesnt know whats about to happen to siegward😢
As a brazilian I love the fact that he's single handling keeping the "I don't want to go to Brazil" meme alive
Indeed, I was conflicted at first with the meme. But I have come to embrace it. Thanks zanny
opa meu mano
Alguém explica aí da onde q saiu isso pf kkkkkkkkk
boa tarde amigo
@gilbertbarucdias6621 samee, after a while I began to appreciate it
Zanny's reaction to Irina's dialogue just killed me...💀
how are you alive and commenting cringe then?
Ratio
@Chris Pierce why y’all being mean to this poor man Jesus
@The silliest goose Ikr wtf XD he's just saying what we're all thinking
@The silliest goose because they're probably toddlers lol
Sending the elevator back up and saying “self care” is now an Elden soulsborne staple for me 😂
Elden Soulsbourne or Soulsbournering?
@PreHisTorIc CReAToR Fromsoft's
@Steve doesn't work since Sekiro, while it is challenging, has very different combat, and from what I've seen Armored Core is a lot different.
@PreHisTorIc CReAToR Literally the whole schtick is their games being really difficult, Sekiro is no different. And 1 game aint gonna change crap after all these titles.
@Steve Armored Core isn't a single game, it's a series.
Past Zanny -> aggressive rage kid
present Zanny -> calm boy
future zanny -> cybernetic monk Zannyatta
The next From soft game is Armored Core one. From what was shown in the trailer it looks at least intriguing. Hope it will help to facilitate Zanny's character growth closer to Cyber-Nirvanna
7:44 watching zanny not mash the roll button to get out of the getting up animation faster gave me physical pain
aight, kid
@michaelwesten4624 what's your problem little man?
@Michael Westen bro, what's your problem?
@Michael Westen Let me guess, rough upbringing? Fatherless? Maidenless? Pick one.
I loved The part where Zanny darked The souls
especially when he said its souling time
yes.
truly the most darked of the soul!! 🔥
I love when John Dark Souls says "It's Dark Soulslin' Time" and then he Dark Soulses all over those guys
Truly the most dark of all souls
Zanny you aren't the only one acting up because of the fire keeper. That laugh was divine
Zanny is a certified 10/10 hilarious cutie.
"Nevermind, he doesnt need my help.... the boss needs my help"
LMAO that one got me.
I always loved how the boss could have a cutscene in 21:23 if you did the siegward questline.
The fact that u let Siegward kill Yhorm alone without even finding the storm ruler behind the throne was killing me 💀💀
Watching the souls series has been an absolute pleasure zanny, one of my favorite series to go back and rewatch
he is still missing the first one, demon souls
Edit: oh it seems he already played it
You think he'll play the soulslikes like nioh or mortal shell?
Enter to win the most coveted gadgets of the year - a PS5 and iPhone 14!
@newuser 5 i sincerely hope for mortal shell, that game is so amazing
I wish Zanny would try the Nioh series too💯❤️🙏🏽
Little did he know that killing siegward after finishing his quest is no longer a threat :,)
Long may the sun shine, onion friend.
Zanny while fighting Vordt: The choir has given him power!!!
Bro the “I’m alive!!!” After the giant smashed him on the bridge was probably top ten funniest zanny moments😂😂😂
I picked this game up a little bit ago and I'm in awe at how good it is. Hope you make a part 2. The DLC bosses are some of my favorite ever
That's amazing, It's great to see people playing this brilliant game even to this day. I would also love to see another part 2 of this , it was entertaining and awesome. I truly wish you all the best in your experience. I would say all the bosses were amazing in their own ways.
@Conny Slayer You must be happy now. Zanny finished it and rated it the highest of all Soulsbornes, along with Elden Ring. Funny enough, that's exactly my rating too.
@Straight White Male Yes, i am and thanks for informing me this as well. I am happy that he rated it the highest of all Soulsbourne games along with Elden Ring because i love both games and think they are pretty top tier overall. Great to see you have similar opinions as well. Great minds think alike. I am going to watch his tier list and other videos as well sometime later.
I remember when zanny had a (i think) project orochi sponsor and said one of the designs looked cool even though he didnt know what it was. Crazy to think that design was pontiff sulyvahn whom he just beat today. Really come a long way
This really has been zanny's character arc over the past year.
The anxiety that hits at first when you think Siegward might die in the boss fight. I've never rushed into a DS fight so quickly.
The Abyss Watchers bossfight was just so good. The music is my favorite out of the entire series.
The Abyss Watchers boss fight was so Beautiful and badass in several ways. It was very well done and told a story through the combat and cutscenes in several ways. The music, the boss room, the Abyss watchers themselves and how you fight them is just so badass and epic. One of the best and one of my favorite boss fights i have ever played in gaming.
Their moves reminded me of a certain DS1 boss, who might just be my favorite to fight out of all of them.
"Hey, let's just fill an entire area with poison, that will be fun for everyone, right, guys?"
[Cut to a completely empty studio] "Haha~, I knew you'd understand"
“I’m not dual-wielding knives bro, I’m not British”
As an English person aware of all the knife crime over here, I’m laughing my head off 😆
The "come on Lawrence, your embarrassing me infront of the wizards" killed me
Zanny's PTSD from Overwatch after hearing the achievement sound made me laugh way more than it should have.
based bf2 pfp
I'm in the dark, brethren. Would anyone care to explain?
@Jim Raynor When Overwatch 2 released, there was a bug on the Xbox series that crashed the game every time you got an achievement. Zanny was playing on release day, so imagine waiting a lot to enter a game just to get it crashed because of an achievement
@WaurufEx Thanks
I Love how his community converted him to souls
So excited for him to do the dlc 🤩 can't wait for Zanny to do the 3 of the best bosses of all the games!!!
2:40 her laugh, it makes me feel
You were beating phase 2 pontif and he was like " We've had one, but what about Second phase 2" and summoned a second pontiff. Gigachad moves.
Seeing zanny fall for the firekeeper like all of us did 😂
Having completed the game, watching zanny hop back and forth between areas gave me a migrane
I get you, it gave me a migrane too
Yeah it was hella confusing
Same. I was just like "Why?!"
Yeah same. Good video but that was weird
Tbf elden ring make me play like that too and still i have a migrane lol
So happy you finally reached this game, have fun! It's so good, especially the DLC
CONTENT
Zanny just never dodge rolling out of a stun is painful to see especially when he knows it exist
5:58 the true sound of surprise 😂
What a great video! Can’t wait till he gets into the DLC!
WW1 soldiers in the trenches be like: 6:15
German air hits different.
LMAO! Gifgas hitting different. A nice mix of phosgene, mustard gas and chlorpicrin for the boys.
I still find it funny how they stopped using it because the wind would literally decide whether it was your enemies choking on it, or your own comrades
💀
Zanny's reaction to the centipedes in the water is definitely everyone's first reaction to those freaky enemies.
Enter to win the most coveted gadgets of the year - a PS5 and iPhone 14!
The journey of the hero is a long and perilous one, but it has been most entertaining.
Thanks Zanny
Right now, Zanny is going through my journey of souls games. First Elden Ring, then bloodborne, then dark souls 1, 2, and 3. These are some of the best games I’ve ever played, and I’m so happy that Sir Zanman is final,y enjoying them like I did.
You forgot the best of all, SEKIRO is the goat
God damn this game just puts a smile on my face each time.
3:02 i like how this hole is supposed to be a trap you fall into (literally) when you try to get the item, and yet he rolled into it head first
Can't wait to see you do the DLC
Zanny freaking out when he sees an achievement is the best reoccurring thing on the channel
Yea, I can only imagine how bad it would be for someone with arachnophobia.
He should do another overwatch vid lol
recurring*
Been on a Zanny and Sir D binge this whole month and this feeds me even more.
the souls journey, watching zanny slowly devolve into qxc
There’s something genuinely special about this kinda stuff- gaming now is about just being better than everyone else, but nobody just wants to have fun. Watching him rage about dying to a boss is funny and relatable, but watching a professional gamer smash his expensive equipment over dying to some kid just makes them look so spoiled. I love this so much, he brings the fun back into video games
PvE > PvP
I definitely agree, i always find it very interesting and enjoyable when i see videos like this. Gaming right now is pretty damn amazing and people who want to actually have fun have lots of fun and many people don't understand this. Gaming is supposed to be fun, enjoyable, entertaining and always a great time. Watching him rage in a funny way is a very funny and relatable plus he was raging and he was having a great time.
He was not throwing a fit and getting pissed off destroying things around him. He is thankful for what he has and he is not acting spoiled like many other out there. He reminds me of why i love video gaming so much in general. He does bring back the fun into video games and i enjoy and appreciate it very much.
- Long may the sun shine!
- Rock and stone!
Karl would be proud.
Man I'd love to see you play through the whole thing and the dlc's
Zanny fell in love at the Firekeeper's laugh. Absolutely melted.
2:26. Here’s your replay button good sir/madam.
2:41 for greatest pleasure
Zanny and I are cut of the same cloth, and fall for the same women
I did too and I dont even play this game.
I can't wait for the day Zanny uploads a Demon's Souls video 😂
Unexpected wholesome ending
Until you know the full lore and realize there is no happiness in a Michael Zaki universe :/
I need a full length version of this 8bit outro. It's too good
Margit: "You need 2 laydeez"
"I have Ranni and Melina"
"Laydeez ambitions to rest!"
Anyone else think zanny has been getting slightly more insane every time he beats a fromsoft game?
I bet that Zanny would be way more terrified of Pontiff Sulyvahn if he read the lore, cause the things he did are just 😳
dude at 19:45 switched of his bow killed zan and switched back to his bow in SECONDS... this guy the true boss
Should replay all the games but as a wizard I'd love to see your reaction to how op some of the magic builds get
Will he stream the DLCs or just put it in a video.
I’d love to see his reactions it’d be fucking hilarious.
"Whoever you are, please touch me"
"HUH!?"
His head zipping back into frame made this clip comedic perfection
5:22 I died when I saw Zanny, self proclaimed seeker of drip, wear the fucking irl NPC armor.
First time seeing your videos man and good work! I was also pleasantly surprised to hear the walk in the woods remix as your outro. My favourite game OST of all time you have good taste!
Great Job Zanny. Keep it up, I'll be watching you. 👍
The soulsborne series is one of the best experience video games has to offer.
Glad to see you enjoyed (almost) every moment of it even the black sheep DS2.
(Looking at you laurence, poisons swamps and runbacks)
YOU NEED TO FINISH THE DLC TRUST ZANNY ITS WORTH IT!
Finally. Now zanny has no choice but to delve into the endless souls like games as other game genres never satisfy that deep ich pounded into you like a souls game does.
Awaiting the remnant from the ashes video
@T V I forgot that game existed for a bit me and my friends had so much fun playing through remnant i hope zanny plays it
@T V that game is sooooo good (sequel soon, too)
Hollow Knight
Perfect timing coz Jedi Survivor is just around the corner. Heck, I'd want to see a Sekiro rerun too
Some of my favorite quotes from this series have been shockingly eye opening "they gave walking a skill gap" "why does the ground have a moveset"
2:56 skellys throwing axiom bolts at zanny
10:10 I exhaled at the exact same time the sound played and thought my lungs made that sound 😂😂😂
This game really is awesome 😁 love seeing you play it
1:12 "im able to do 3 clears an hour" 😂😂 that subtlety killed me.
Edit: Also love that u had your character journey thru the series as personal lore. I do that too! Lol
Like this comment if you do the same.
I can't wait to see Zanny fight the Nameless King(my favorite boss). Also, I hope he does the DLC in it's entirety
He did all of the DLC so far
Man is doing some next level trolling if he's not doing the ringed city and sister friede.
@MOAgerdome fr.. ds3 has INCREDIBLE dlc
@MOAgerdome lmao can't wait for his reaction to sister friede third phase
He is gonna have Margit ptsd when he fight the Nameless King
still havent played elden ring..
so happy to watch you play this,been watching you the whole soulsborne journey,im just sad knowing it will end soon
Wow amazing that you managed to have my boy Onion Man help you on Yhorm without guides on your first playthrough
i have waited for this legend to drop another video for a long time nice to have you back zanny
This is one of my favorite FromSoft games, thanks for the upload, Zanny.
I have been waiting for this monumental moment. Thank you
As if my day couldn't get any better, Zanny releases another Soulsborne video.
I've been rewatching multiple times his previous ds1, ds2, Sekiro and BB, ER videos so many times praying for a ds3 one to drop. Thank you so much zanny❤
Ahhhh zanny liked hsgsgsjjs this is sick i love youuui
Bro is content with life
@Extant Fellow i swear my guy, usually my days are meh, but yesterday it was insanely good. AND ZANNY UPLOADS
@Ernest Drake awesome to hear that man, i wish you many more epic days
Thanks man for letting me know I'm not that bad in soulsborne you're such a motivation 😅
Definitely feels like an epic farewell to the souls borne series. The self hype speech against Pontiff was fr fr.
I dont want this video to end 😢❤
I hope Zanny recorded and is able to upload the rest of his Sekiro journey, cause it's so entertaining.
This one made me laugh a lot. Thanks, Zanny
I loved the part where zanny filled his dark soul with light
does he know?
Souls may cry
After a crappy day at work I'm glad you posted because seeing you get decimated and decimate others makes my day better
“Why is everyone taller than me?”
My dear Zan Man, it is the burden of our kind to ever look upwards to the rest of the peoples of this world… an unfortunate fate indeed 😔
God, Farron greatsword is an absolute blast to play with even against gale. Trust me, the hit box moments I had with that weapon was beautiful
I cant explain to you how much I enjoyed this video 😁😁
I like the transition with the number of attempts on the boss.
This has got to be one of the best series this man has made
What does that mean?
@Ibrahim Mteirek It means he loves the souls vids
@Lachlan Fisher Or he really hates all of Zanny's videos.
Maybe it's because i played this game so much but the short editing of his reactions/commentary like at 10:30 make me giggle like the silly boy that i am. 10/10 would souls again
I don't think I've seen someone like zanny beat Pontiff without parrying 😂
love your content, keep it up!
My first dark souls game I played. First play though took me ages to complete as I put it down. 2nd play through was so fun
The achievement scare killed me😂
You’ve done the souls community a great service.
also as fellow Majula enjoyer I now know this channel is top tier, good job sir
Ah yes the Farron greatsword. My favorite weapon throughout the game and the one i used till the end. i love the moveset
Zanny playing Dark Souls is a blessing from the lord
Love you’re videos Zanny, keep them up!
Also, if I were a girl I’d make sure you never feel lonely
