Apr 09, 2020
Okay, that being said, I've been told all along that the red target is ready with his Dark Souls. Any percentage take it away man hello this is Dark Souls uh I'm Regal hello I'm grimelius and I think we had an incentive name for this last one I checked it was Frost yeah actually so the name that was found with 2726 is wait, which is spelled s-b-r-a-a-h exclamation point I don't know what that means, but okay, okay, just before we start, I want to mention that we're going to start Thief with black firebombs, Steve, because you get a key free master and we will need the master key to open certain doors in the race and the black incendiary bombs will help us kill some. enemies much faster and other than that we are ready to go alright get ready with the three two one timer countdown wow good luck man so everyone welcome to Dark Souls this is a game oriented action game 3D combat, I'm sure many of you.

I've seen it before playing as the Chosen Undead tasked with traveling the world and collecting Lord Holes to extend the Age of Fire, but since this is a percentage, we'll do very little of that, like all of Dark Souls. start here in the Undead Asylum with the goal to escape from the Asylum Demon, oh, from the beginning, as you climb this ladder, Regal will go ahead and take off all his armor to maintain fast movement throughout the race, which will be very important. move on to the next room and we are about to come face to face with the Demon Asylum to defeat this guy.

More Interesting Facts About,

dark souls by regole in 36 22 agdq2020...

Most players will circle around and then start the fight with a diving attack; However, if you look at the bottom left, you can see those 10 black fire bombs. Turns out you can take out this guy with a total of five, so start one, two, three as he rolls towards the door and uses impact, that's a slow attack, yeah, not one you want to see, but we dodge it. There we go, there's one less boss, so it turns out they even took out the Asylum Demon early, we still have to do some cleanup here in the Asylum first grabbing the first proper weapon from the Run, uh, the Bandit's knife, here it is .

It doesn't do much damage but it does enough yes, we will use it for the tourist demon and another enemy after that and that's it, we will also free an NPC named Oscar and instead of priming the rolling metal. ball, let's do something different. It turns out that if you quit and reload the game, your standing character will break any breakable objects like the wall you're next to and it's loud. Exits are very powerful in Dark Souls, they can even break walls, yes, then Oscar Harry gives you the Estus Flask which is the main form of healing along with some additional keys, although as Regal said the thief class starts with the master key, it turns out that the master key is a little tricky, isn't it.

In fact, open all the doors in the game, only you know that many of them are the ones we need, yes, so opening this door, it is a very heavy door, it takes a long time, yes, we are almost out of the Asylum, you can skip all the customs in this. Fortunately, you won't see more than a few frames of the animation, but a big bird comes and grabs you to take away a man who ran correctly, so hooray, there's the Asylum, the easy part of Run um here on Firelink. I want to draw attention to sprinting, it should be pretty intuitive that sprinting is faster than running, so we want to spend as much time running as possible.
One nuance is that from a walking state, you can reach running speed more quickly through some methods like blocking or toggling weapons, like here, if you see these quick switches or quick blocks, that's usually the reason why yeah, it saves about 0.4 seconds in a minute of running, but it's still time, it still saves time, yeah, going through these ball gates that you're about to see. the introduction to the Drake Bridge which we'll cover later, you can just block it and go over it so you don't lose too much speed or I mean, stagger, but then try to go through the Stagger, but it's pretty accurate and These guys are really annoying.
We will make a stop at the undead merchant and it will be hard to see because Regal's menus are very fast because he is very good at this game. First we will buy four different things, the rapier. which is a weapon, second, the short bow and then the arrows for that bow and finally the shield. All of those four things will have very specific functions in the speedrun that we'll try to mention as they become relevant, but first I have to get through even though the Undidberg is early, this area is really scary, like this room for example, the Scariest part of the race, honestly, in terms of the areas, this guy at the door becomes invulnerable for a moment.
Good job to get by without. Damaging this door is also a little scary, we will use the master key to open it. Good job, okay, and we're done. From this chest, we will take three golden pine resins. A golden pine resin is a boss weapon that applies. the lightning effect on the right hand weapon, which in this case is the Bandit's knife, we also casually jump over the cannon faster than waiting. I'm going to heal real quick just to be safe because the Taurus demon can be pretty annoying, yeah, um. If we didn't say this, the tourist demon that comes is weak to lightning, so we hold on tight to those cold pine resins, that and one more reason why the boss doesn't appear until about halfway across the bridge, so let's run .
Go ahead, dash to the right to hopefully dodge some arrows, you can see him passing right behind, apply that golden pine resin, this boss is scarier than you think, given how early he comes in the race, there are a lot of waves of the hammer, it can move very erratically and it can kick you as it moves and that should do it with one more hit, he says it was good, well done, but we're not done yet, we just used a gold pine resin, you're about to see the second use of What's Coming is one of the most famous or perhaps infamous parts of Dark Souls, the Drake Bridge that is about to fly over us and set the entire bridge on fire.
We can avoid being cooked to a crisp by entering this alcove on the right and then As the fire dissipates, we take out the bow and arrow we just bought from the merchant to bait the Drake like this. Next, I will very quickly apply a golden pine resin and hopefully dodge this arrow and hit very close one two. three hits, reach the Drake Sword, okay, that's the scariest part, the Drake Sword is a very powerful weapon at the beginning of the game, we are not going to use it yet, but you will see it, uh, in the near future, We will also release some. unnecessary items, yeah, you want your inventory to be pretty clean, uh, for multiple reasons, mainly because of the move swapping bug we'll do later, but you also can't access the menu while running in this game, so you want it to be that way . very clean, so you can swap things out quite easily, so we're quickly approaching one of the most fascinating tricks of the race.
I think it's called the thin gate anyway, there's an area called Sten's Fortress and you have to ring Two Bells. of Awakening and take this whole long journey before this door opens, but it turns out that through a camera or a trick that involves camera manipulation we can get through. The first step is to exit the game to reset enemy aggro and then I'm going to go around and bait one of these Hollows who may misbehave, yeah hopefully he's nice he shouldn't be that bad yeah here we go better RNG , now look at this, this will look very strange.
Regal is going to try. To stop this gap in a very particular place on the bridge and, if done correctly, we crop the character out of bounds enough to activate the death camera, which is this top-down aerial view, but not enough far enough away to touch the killer plane, believe it or not, those are two different triggers now, the reason we did this is that while the camera is in this faulty state, the door comes down. The Fortress just won't even charge, so we can walk through it, hopefully this gap won't reach us. We can sit down okay, okay, yeah, I'll turn the strength level up to 11 so I can properly wield that Drake sword we have, uh, and I know it's hard to see with the camera, but right now we're running along the bridge to send a Fortress like I said with the camera in this state the door just won't load, you won't have to deal with this for much longer, don't worry, yeah, we'll come out to reset the camera right when we move on to sin. there is the door.
I'm going to jump out so we can get out in the exact spot so the bikes are good and as we reload, uh Regal is going to turn the camera quickly. There is the door still closed. Foreign fortress another. Really fascinating, uh Zone, it's full of these traps and as Regal mentioned, the exit was made in a particular location so that as we run through these cycles in these oscillating shafts and such they are in the correct locations that You don't have to slow down. a lot, yes, coincidentally, this place can be kind of a nightmare, but for speedrunners it acts the same way every time, so it's pretty easy to get to.
Yes, it's a pretty quiet place. There are also rocks. The first rock always appears when you get close and it's just going to completely decimate this snake brother, there it goes, um, although you can't see it, there is a mechanism at the top of the Sun Fortress that can change the direction they go. these rocks even if you're not there to operate it, so at that point we're going to run past and hopefully we won't get hit by the darts, well done, and then we'll run up the stairs and get out, uh, and get ready, you hear a loud sound if we don't get out here. the rock would have spawned and probably killed us, yeah, which is slow, it's a lot of noise, okay, this is probably a good time for donations or at least a very quick one, okay, sounds good, we have five dollars of Thai Digga that says good luck.
Regal from all of us in the kata chat, oh awesome, thanks guys, now there's a snake guy on the stairs here, luckily you can just run forward and slap him, get him out of the way, just a thinner platform and then we're . I'm going to reach the roof. I'm going to go ahead and start explaining the early movement change. It is a very important technical problem. Let's see if I can set this up. We will practice this explanation. If you look down at the bottom left in a moment. Regal leaves. equip the bow on that left-hand weapon, which are left-hand bows, are special because they are the only type of weapon that can be two-handed, but if you instead queue up a two-handed bow while you're locked into another animation and then he quickly swaps weapons which you'll see in a moment just pause before that happens here we go this may not have seemed like much now we're using the Drake sword with two hands but it's in the left hand now Bose can fire arrows to the right but they, by their nature, do not have sink, roll or dash attacks, so alternatively the game will use the move set i.e. the weapon attack animations. right hand.
The bottom line is that we can combine the very fast attack speed of the rapier with the high damage. output of the two-handed Drake sword and you will be able to use it well, that guy just leaves, that's Bob, say goodbye to Bob and now you will be able to see him in real estate in the Iron Golem despite this move. Trade this guy. He's still very tanky and we're underleveled, luckily we don't need to deplete this huge health reserve if you play your cards right. Ideally this guy stomps, we'll see what he does. No, not entirely, but you can stagger it.
You have to get him and him spinning correctly, well now there's the Stagger, okay sorry, we should still be fine on the next hit, you'll see him fall back for a quick kill, there we go, that's a good cycle bomb here. well done as we get closer to Anna Wando here. One aspect of Dark Souls speedrunning in general, including whatever percentage we haven't talked about yet, is that to get maximum speed you usually end up skipping all the non-essential bonfires, which is risky, but you know. Obviously, it saves time. Here, in the first part of Anor Londo, we are going to run to the left and grab one of these bonfires.
This isn't for safety, it's because we'll have to teleport here later once we're there. On our way to the DLC, yes, we need to level up anyway, so it's a good place to sit and talk about that level, part of the

souls

we have, 43k will go to stamina, the rest will go to 27 of strength, that is. It's going to be very important to wield the next weapon, otherwise Anna Rolando will be a lot of running, we'll go down an elevator beyond the rafters and hopefully the painting of the Guardians will be nice, quite scary, yes, while so much. muffin, we have time for a lotso if you remember in Blighttown a few minutes ago we did those dive attacks to negate fall damage, you'll actually see it again, but in a slightly different way.
It's exactly the same trick, although yes, this is the most common way. You will see. The Blighttown ones look a little different, but it's still the same concept. Plus, there's a giant Hydro down there. We'll pay him a visit, so here. the dive attack is coming, check this out, I'll try to dash and swerve in a particular way, use the rolling iframes to dodge the damage well done and we're right on this Hydra, we have to kill this Hydra to get access to the DLC and In a skill As a dragon, we are going to inflict damage in two different ways: the first, with the five remaining black incendiary bombs; in the second, two-handed jumping attacks that kick entire heads at once with dragon teeth.
It's important to note that the movement of these heads in terms of exactly where they dip into the water are actually consistent, but they are based on your position, so if you were a task and your position was identical each time, it would be perfectly consistent as a human, there tends to be some variability in the end. incendiary bomb and one more hit to the head will take the thing out there they come good night Hydra perfect well done we kill the Hydra there is the dragon scale we will get it in just a second we are going to use that dragon scale to upgrade the dragon tooth , but in terms of accessing the DLC, there is a Golden Golem in the corner, you can't see it yet, but when you exit and reload the game, the Golem will appear and as before you will see it many times, we always set up the move swap for these combat sections.
This Golden Crystal Golem houses an NPC named Dusk who has been against her will torn from the past and you free her and she talks to you and gives you this whole spiel about how she wants to pass on her knowledge, we just killed her stuff, save a second for kill her, yes, but with the hydro taken. Out with the dusk released, let's go ahead and upgrade those dragons to the plus one like we mentioned and then teleport back to Orlando's bonfire to head towards the Duke's archives, now is the reason we have to go with the Dukes . files or should I say the initial part of the files is that we have to get an item called broken pendant from a very specific enemy in a classic and smooth style, the way you access the DLC is really complicated, I don't casually know how it's supposed to anyone should know how to do this, um, but while we're on the way, muffin, let's say we have time for two donations.
Okay, sounds great. Start with 100 from Star Roots 29 that says "I always look forward to agdq. I love seeing the games that made me so sad when they were totally destroyed, we also have 40 from Rocksteady that says I had to donate them during my favorite game of all time here's to another great gdq so far and many more to come praise the Sun thank you there are two of these uh two of these boring ones you can just dodge them and there will be one more around the corner and then we'll take an elevator to upload we're not really going to spend much time on the files yes they can It's scary yes the sound they make is so imposing so I mentioned a moment ago that we upgraded the dragon tooth plus one the reason is because This Golem ahead will now die in a quick series of attacks, but in the unenhanced form it would take two and you really don't want to spend any more time than necessary between all these enemies.
I mean, it's nice that it does extra damage to the others. bosses, but this is a pretty important part where you want to kill this guy. more than an attack, we will kill him and immediately log out because we no longer need the

souls

, there is the broken pendant. The downside to accessing this DLC is that you have to run a second time to the same corner of the Basin where we took out the Crystal Golem, so I will often return it to you again if we have more donations. Oh yeah, we're getting tons of love for this race.
You are doing it very well. Regal, we have a hundred. Kyra's dollars must say that Dark Souls in cancer research are two things that are very important to me as someone who has a close family member suffering from stage four cancer and it gives me a lot of hope and I just had to donate during the race from Dark Souls. the Sun, let's say a faster one, okay, yeah, sure we have 250 from Marna Stafford 212 that says another gdq, another donation during Dark Souls, I always look forward to these Cherry events, thank you very much, you will be able to see this attack that falls.
Again, by the way. What's happening here is that by attacking like that the game effectively thinks you've landed and that restores your ability to roll in the air, that's how the trick works, that's how it worked in Blighttown too, it's just a bit . It's a little more obvious when you really gain air, yeah, it's pretty hard to move. Exchange here. I felt it right there, but we should be able to get it, so earlier there was a golden Crystal Golem. Now there is something else. You will see it in the end. At the top of the screen is that

dark

portal which is the entrance to the DLC, although we'll skip the cutscene, Manus's hand comes and grabs you and takes you to the past, which is where the DLC takes place, similar to the inside of Anna Orlando. bonfire we're going to take this one too for safety because this run back really sucks and uh the next boss the Sanctuary Guardian is also very random yeah this is probably my least favorite boss home run.
I do not like them very much. anyone, but this guy isn't great. Ideally the attack you want here will be this type of wing attack that will also flinch back and then hit the water with a wind attack, but like I said, very random it will adapt as needed. Oh well, dodge, this guy will go down pretty quickly, but that's bad, by the way, in these particular attacks, it was two attacks to the head, which means it will only be two if you alternate, okay, okay, no We were joking when we said. uh, this guy is risky, this is exactly what I ruined uh, if you're doing a dash attack and you press block, it cancels your dash attack and that ruined the whole beginning of the fight, but that's okay, we take the bonfire, that's not it. it's a huge waste of time and that's the first kill of the run so no maybe this time it'll open with that really beautiful airstrike yeah maybe it will or maybe it'll be terrible again who knows yeah , but that was all that was good for me.
The news is that souls don't really matter in this race. What are you doing? That was strange. Yeah, there we go, that's the attack you want. Look at this damage, it's very high, you just have to wait one opening to get that damage. that's not what I wanted him to do and he just flew into the middle yeah I don't like this boss okay come here buddy here we go good yeah the guardian was particularly prickly today but we're over it uh this one next bonfire here. at ulysso's shrine we are not taking it for safety, we are going to have to teleport back here later, this will also be where the incorrect warp will be performed, although we will touch on that again a little later, often I think I will throw you new for, say, a quick donation on the way to the Royal Forest, okay, sounds good, we have a hundred dollars of teamwork that says the Dark Souls games are my all-time favorites, praise the sun, praise I mean, the runners and the staff, thank you, thank you very much.
As we cross this bridge, although you can't see it at the top of the screen, there are some enemies that will become aggressive towards the player and can cause you a lot of pain. uh, as we've seen several times, Regal is going to go out and reload the game to reset his aggro. Now the reason is that we're about to go and set up another variation of that fall damage negation known as In the Royal Woodskip there will be a house up ahead with a hole in it and the drop to the ground is low enough that you can survive on your own. via fall damage, except there's a killer plane artificially placed there by the developers to force you.
To at least try to force you through the area as usual, like I said, we're going to use the same fall damage negation that we've seen a few times and this trick, if you pull it off correctly, will save you about 45 seconds. go ahead and set up a step back to hit the wall in the right place and slow down, the roll is very well done in a very short order, this takes us there, there is something that changes movement, you've seen it a million times , this brings us to Artorias. than to comment on this, I think it's more fun to just enjoy the fight, it's a good attack, you want the foreigner to improve, here we go, let's fight, okay, be patient, this is getting a little technical, the reason we've been going through by the DLC is to set up an incorrect warp.
This incorrect deformation is the product of two different teleportation elements interfering with each other. The first is the

dark

sign that we already have. The second one we are acquiring right now is the purple funky crystal that resolves you. From this PVP area called The Battle of Stoicism, this item can normally only be used inside the Battle of Stoicism, but it turns out that through a perfect trick known as item swapping, we can force the Crystal purple cowards to activate outside of your intended area. If you then interrupt that teleportation animation using the dark sign, the game basically goes into a conflicting state where it tries to position the player at the coordinates of the Stoicism Battle Gazebo in relation to the Firelink Altar and since those coordinates are invalid, They put you in your place. at the point of origin which is beyond the oven door, everyone gets that, remembers that all of this rests on the frame.
Perfect trick. Regal will try to take a sip from the Estus flask in the frame and the characters will hit the ground if he does so. it works you will see a strange purple haze around the S drive it didn't work at all drink it means it was a frame rate fortunately it is very quick to set up neutralize this trick it is difficult to do consistently there it quickly activates the dark sign to interrupt the original warp and if done correctly we are now in the Furnace of the first Flame. A very powerful cheat allows you to avoid having to collect any of the Lord's objectives.
At this point, we're on sort of a victory march until we get to Gwen. So muffin, let's say we have time for three quick donations on the way. Great, well we have a special $12 donation from Ashawin that says a big thank you to Regal who has spent so much time teaching people this game whether you were learning or racing. he was there, speed. Souls would not be the same without him. Thank you for being a good teacher and friend. You also taught me a lot. Thanks Ashley. Happy Birthday. Regal from all the people who watch you and encourage you.
Yes, today is my birthday. Thank you. you Ashley, let's say one more muffin, okay, 30 from Mr. Risa 16 who claims to beat the game faster than it took me to beat the first boss, please take my money, thank you for supporting an important cause, thank you very much to everyone and yes, happy birthday to I want to shout at you again. Regal taught me most of what I know about Dark Souls. He is a very, very good teacher in that sense. We are rapidly approaching the drop gate. Sorry about the final boss, Gwen, we're going to use. a particular strategy to try to stun Gwyn almost to death, if things go wrong from the beginning we may have to get out of here, but sometimes we can't cooperate, what we are going to try to do is get a single hit first , which won't wobble, but then, oh, it's my fault.
This guy is really scary if you make a mistake so let's get out, even the ones who gain speed will die very quickly if they hit you, you can, you can save him if you are doing PB. tries, but it's really not worth it, Marathon, so let's try again, like I said, to get a single hit first, so that the next hit is now staggered and now we can continue continuously in straight circles forcing it to turn and We can do this. almost until the boss dies yeah if he jumps I'm going to come out again it's too scary one more set of these now on the final hit we'll do something different well he'll do a grab attack which is low .
Let's try to stop, there's Perry configuring the new post to shorten Gwyn's death animation, be ready in time, it will be right when we touch the middle bonfire and time we will see what the moment of the end of the game is. like a 35 34. 34-22 okay, well done, thanks to gdq for letting me be here, thanks vermilios, it's a pleasure, greetings to speed Souls if anyone wants to learn how to run this game or any other Souls game, already be Demon.
