The video

Making of the video

This video is a big project for me. It took me several weeks to put it together. Gathering clips was just the beginning (and you know how the Old One can be a b*tch). I spent well over 20 hours on video editing alone. And that's not all - the video was finally successfully rendered after over 15 failed rendering attempts, and each attempt took from 50min up to 90min. For those who use Sony Vegas, you know what I'm talking about and you can understand my pain. For those who are interested, this is how complex video project file looks like in Sony Vegas[puu.sh]. I don't live off making videos and I don't profit a single penny from my videos (all ads disabled). But I would sincerely appreciate your like and/or favorite of my guide for all the hard work I've put in if the video is helpful to you.

I just should note that Old one can use foot attack 2 times in a row. When I was on feet level he did 2 foot stomp so I come to attack his foot from close range and he immmediatelly kill me with 1 foot stomp. I was like WTF. Open mode, workshop map.

Thanks guys. I can still recall the pain of rendering this particular video...

I'd like to give a tip to those who are using Blaster Rifles on this boss for the belly: its possible to make all the shots hit but you have to aim below the crystal and be up in melee range of the belly crystal.
