lalalandd123: fucking THANK YOU for not just showing footage of random bossfights in the dlc (minus the first boss which basically doesn't count) i swear every single SOTE video i watch will just show later boss fights as b footage for just no reason and put no spoiler warning
WonkyDalek: The Poison Flower Blooms Twice AoW has actually the same effect as the Poison Moth Flight AoW. The only difference between the two is that The Poison Flower Blooms Twice works for both rot and poison instead of only poison, meaning poison was already viable in the base game.

Great video nontheless!
EwanCross: Massive props for not spoiling anything major!
IntertwiningRoses: Actually, pest threads and pest threads spear is the best for the furnace golem. You can aim at the leg opposite of you and shoot through the leg in front of you, effectively doubling the amount of hits and stagger. It takes me less than 1min to kill them with either of those.
newworldblues7245: Pro Tip: Oil Tear and Black Flame Tornado
09widji90: Mad respects for the generally spoiler free video.
I personally have not had enough time to finish the dlc yet and i love that i could actually watch this video
salt_of_souls: For me I called the pog imp the peashooter lol
JaredHerdlevar: If you rest and stand up while the fire animation is still playing on the bridge it will also kill the respawned enemies, essentially 2xing the rune farm!

You’ll need to rerest after this though cause you’ll get the runes from the respawned enemies but they won’t actually die and you won’t get runes from them again until you rest again.
seedmole: Not sure if it's been made widely known yet, but another dps increase you can do is inflict yourself with the Lulling Branch before a fight, similar to using Fetid Pots to causing poison on yourself. Once the Sleep status procs, St. Trina's Smile will give a damage boost similar to Lord of Blood's Exultation or Kindred of Rot's Exultation. I could see a prebuff strat that uses all three of those plus Shriek of Sorrow to get at least some
Shino2288: For mages, Shard Spiral is a great spell to use to stagger the furnace golems. It travels some distance and goes through the 1st targeted leg to continue to damage the other leg. Overall it's a great spell to melt the health of larger and slower enemies.
thomasdevlin5825: The biggest one for me was learning that the furnace golems are the erdtree avatars of the DLC, I had no idea the DLC even added any physic tears until literally like 85% of the way through.
When I first played this game my dumbass thought that crystal tears were consumable since so many other rare items like exalted flesh and rune arcs are, so I never used the wonderous physic until almost the end of the game because I was afraid I would waste it, the DLC was like my first playthrough all over again
LAK_770: If you have a Faith build, Ancient Dragon Lighting Strike is fantastic for the golems. Buff with golden vow and flame protect me so you can facetank their attacks, and just start spamming lightning right under them. They’ll eat every single bolt and take quintuple digit damage even without buffs, you’ll get the stagger PING every other cast and often knock them out of animations
