DMAN99: >Have a mechanic that allows players to avoid some of the damage done by throws
>Set parameters way too high for the majority of throws, making it a near useless mechanic.
Truly a souls series moment.
Joel_Inosin: One of those "I like the idea but hate the actual implementation" aspects of souls games.
kamilmalach6383: Hug enjoying > Grab breaking
nerfer200: So i other words, when the big walking bonfire grabs you, you're screwed
joekewl7539: "No, Tarnished, I can tech this."
Comonad: That Demi-human grab so reminds me of ‘Saturn Devouring His Son’
MrSarkasm: The enemy "grab HP” actually stands for “Hugging Power”
carcosian: Many Zullies were hurt in the filming of this video.
TheWarmachine375: Enemy Boss: "Time to crush you!"

Tarnished: squeaks
danchovanes2612: Getting flushed down the Furnace Golem's head toilet makes me the angriest
james737er: zullie could you please do a video comparing the size of the dlc map to the base game map, or seeing how they connect?
daniil.dankovsky: I didn't even know you could escape grab attacks
bbluva20: That explains it.
So if you get grabbed by the Elden Beast, you can't escape it, and you won't change the animation.
BUT, if you mash and move the stick furiously enough, you will avoid the damage taken at the end explosion, which is significant enough to stop you from dying by a lot.

To reiterate, you will still be grabbed, hanged in the air and pierced with all those golden spears, but the explosion will do no damage, and you will go flying back to the ground.
mitsubishidion8514: Mob: Grabs me
kazueglassheardt7185: I miss when grab escaping rune bears would cause their collision to freak out, and they'd just drop through the world. It was really funny.
MichaelTheRead: Today, Zullie taught me that advertisements are orders of magnitude less annoying when there is no talking in them.
itol2201: Two things.

1. This just makes me sad Royal Revenants didn't have a grab attack.

2. Imagine if you somehow mashed out of Malenia's grab, she tries to stab you misses, and you just flop onto the floor
azure4622: My ass just watched them grab me without trying to do anything
Trollkiller: There was a period where everytime a rune bear grabbed me it fell through the world doing no damage.
Qamikace: The thumbnail should say "they bearly used this".
kodypolitza8844: It wouldve been so awesome if there were command grabs like in fighting games. If you hit the right input, you escape instantly, and maybe even do a reversal on smaller enemies.
WordsHere: I am learning that this is a mechanic right now and this honestly makes so much sense. Some of those grabs seem so brutal, but I was just practically dropping the controller and watching it happen. They probably assumed you'd mash out of them. I would have never guessed that in the year 2024 we'd still have mashing mechanics. I think I'll just keep taking the damage to my character instead of my fingers.
LuckyLiarK: I did not know that demi human queen has a grab attack.
billyvalentine4466: Sad watching poor zullie getting repeatedly subjected to some of the most brutal animations in these games
mikerice868: I think the reason most can't be broken out of despite them technically having HP and thus theoretically being breakable is because all the grabs were designed with this same system to make the process of creating a grab easier, but only a select few are actually meant to be cancelable. At least that's my best guess
Daikamaitachi: About the Lamprey paralysis spell. If you can't be bothered to dodge it, cast Carian Phalanx. When the spell hits you, it'll cause one of the other Lamprey to teleport to you and begin a grab attack. Your spell will immediately hit them when they teleport and not allow them to grab you.
finnha8219: These are the coziest ways to start my morning, some coffee and some esoteric Soul's knowledge. As always another banger video.
Consumstra: I think you should be able to break out of all grabs if you can smash the buttons REALLY fast
rooue4960: We thank zullie for her sacrifice there being thrown around for knowledge
sofer2230: Huh, didn't know Blaidd even had a grab attack.
\*Googles\* Oh he just eats your face. Yeah, that makes sense.
arrakaarkana6281: The paralyzing lamprey is typically not the one that teleports to you, though! It's usually a distant paralysis lamprey and a nearby grabber, allowing them to keep using it at lower risk to themselves
