Dark Souls III by COLTrane45 in 1:38:38 - GDQx2018

so again, next we have Dark Souls 3. Coltrane is going to do all the bosses here, they look comfortable, about 90 minutes run time. I 148 ETA, look, it's 8:15 on the west coast, let me tell you, there are other time zones in the world, we're not all on the same time zone, but that's all good, so again, make sure you go to the gdq website and see those incentives. We have some bidding wars coming up, of course we do, as I mentioned, we have some things. our unlock here comes with a punch, Gale to death here again, we're between 637 and 5k for that one, we have the cow level, the secret cow level in Diablo 2, it's around 4 out of 5K and we also have a savings to settle Decker Cain.

I'm also part of the Diablo 2 race, so I make sure you check the cube, check the tracker for all the remaining incentives or find the player name, all that good stuff and of course you can't. have what you have to do in the queue without saving or killing the animals for the combo randomizer, okay, that being said, we have Dark Souls 3 with Coltrane 45, all the bosses, let's get ready for you, everyone ready for that run, everyone They're fine, it's fine. Hello everyone, I'm Coltrane 45, yes, I'm very excited to be here. I'm going to let the couch present itself while I create.

I'm pretty sure we'll do Princess Fiona for the bidding war, so let's get started. With that, I've memorized this is actually the part I'm most nervous about, just so you know, I've memorized all of this character's stats and it'll take me a minute. I can barely talk and do this at the same time. couch, go ahead and introduce yourselves, my name is Joe to Jody D. I do challenge runs and Dark Souls speedruns, you know, fun stuff. I'm Kate Witty 23, a partner who streams on Twitch. I do challenge races, sprint races and non-hits of the

souls

games respectively, particularly blood. -borne and Dark Souls 3 so it's an honor to be here and I'm really excited for Colt to do this Ron you do a great job so let's go all out mm-hmm my name is Jesse and I'm here with Jesse. a very good friend of mine.

I probably wouldn't be here without him asking me to run a race, so I'm really glad to have him here. He is dedicated to sound technology and IT. He does a lot of lifestyle work, but I think he would do it. He fought Gunder once in this game, pretty sure, I think he fought the first possible one once, so he's got a bit of Souls experience under his belt. You know he did very well, although if you count losing it's very good, so yeah, you know, it took me like 10 minutes to get the controls down like I'm still used to liking Tetris on Gameboy, man, it's relentless in the beginning, like they hold your hand, yes, no, they just like to push you, so yes, this game is what it takes.

It takes a lot of skill to be able to play it casually, so you have to see Coltrane, the best one won to do it, so he will stand at a high level and do it super fast, although it will be very interesting to see him do his thing, oh. Yeah this guy used to hold the world record for soul level one that all the bosses beat so what you'll see here today but without even leveling up your character so man knows what he's doing unless he Believe your character, I'm sure. You guys like the sound of clicking, that's why we're all here.

We're really just here to reveal that beautiful face, princess. Mmm-hmm. I don't know if they notice the skin color. Come on, it's true, it's true. look for Princess Fiona, the olive green one mm-hmm oh, can't be the reveal yet, although we're almost there, we're almost there, let's see, chin, that's it, thanks, who is your favorite boss in this game? Give him my favorite boss. You have to be pompous Sullivan, he's a mid game boss, you have to see it, he actually killed me probably about 300 times, no exaggeration, so he's really cool, but the speedrun continues pretty quickly, but I'd say because of the challenge and the night he did it.

He became a quick favorite, you know, once I learned how to fight him, so, oh yeah, once you learned that you can actually parry the bosses, I think he's like one of the first real bosses with the that you have that experience, yes, he was one of those. Those guardian bosses, well, I was going through the game like I thought it was supposed to be pretty hard, then I met him and it was like okay, it got real, oh yeah, yeah, he's got those seven swing combos. You're like, he's fine, yeah, he's fine. We're almost there We're almost there I like the heroes, they look good, can we make that neck a little thicker?

Fiona is about to wake up from the ashes and she will find herself in a very strange situation, so as soon as we are ready with the stopwatch, let's do it. starts at five four three two one let's go oh okay a couple of things Dark Souls 3 of course is a sequel to two other Dark Souls games it has a very amazing deep story. I think that's going to be the main thing I'm focusing on tonight. How crazy is the story of this game, so we started and well, there was a scene where a bell rings and you rise from the ashes.

I mean, according to soft bells they are great, as are ashes, which are as deep as I am. I actually didn't know anything about the story. I've heard there are amazing stories about it, so I guess a couple of things, just some housework. The first thing I'll explain is that I'll be equipping and unequipping armor throughout the course. The running speed doesn't change, but the length of your roll changes, so we'll get a little more distance from each roll if we have less than 30% charge equipped. By the way, I just pulled the sword out of this guy's chest, I should be thanking him. me, but instead he gets up and attacks me, he's pretty angry about it, actually yeah, so this is the first boss of the game.

He is more than just a tutorial boss. His name is ludus Gunder. It's not too difficult. You can restart a lot yes. You have a good time thanks to some of the oranges he gives you, but a trainer who does a very good job with this fight is almost over, so GG do that, let's go once you get that first dagger in the second phase. The fight is basically done yeah so that boss is kind of a set number of hits like once you get the sword out you want to get 13 r1 or just your light attack and then for Artoo's two handed charged attacks , that's what causes a stagger and allows him to die faster in the second phase, so we run into Fire Link.

Now this is our central pub and I'm going to talk to the maid. She makes some interesting noises. Most of us will listen a lot. of the characters in the game, so I just bought a homecoming bone that allows you to teleport to the last bonfire you rested at and then a dagger that I will use later and a short sword that I infused with the phrase "let's that hood." Out, we have to be here with a pretty face, so that's the real beauty, yeah, anyway, and delight in that short sword of fire and I'm going to make a mistake with it very soon in the second boss because you can't buff a weapon if it's in the fire infusion, right, no, okay, so we're on a high wall, Florrick now and the cold will practically run through this area, pick up some items along the way, but it's pretty simple, here's there .

There are a lot of enemies that can hit you quite a bit, but it's pretty safe and he will go up here and collect the golden pine resin that he will use for the first boss we will fight here very soon. The early games can reset a little bit just because the RNG that some of the smaller basic enemies can give you, especially in this section, you'll see it up here, yeah, I don't know if you noticed when I took that. item I jumped off the ledge at the same time, there's actually a few frames window to pick up the item right when you're running off the ledge, if you missed it you have to run back and waste 15 seconds, but it's saved. as a second type of loot strategy this part just scares me so if we can get through this we will be good holo with the halberd and the hallway is going down the ladder it can really mess you up it looks like no one is going down the ladder no Oh no, okay, that's what makes the actual part of this game really hard, because if you try to climb that ladder without completely falling off or something, they might just slap you on the butt, okay, though he corrects this.

Going back to the beginning isn't a huge waste of time, you can just go back and get what he needs and move on, but luckily now you don't have to pick up the guy throwing, so they have to. Going that route, you know, yeah, I mean, I don't even need the tolls that I just lost because it was pretty much nothing, so let's move on, so one of the things I wanted to mention with Dark Souls 3. as the goal of the game, it's more or less a boss race, like you're just running between one area and another, everything wants to kill you for those who have played it or are familiar with the game, it's quite brutal at times, now you'll see it cold . up here a spell called ghost is cast that will prevent you from taking fall damage, very useful in this race, you will see him use the spell: a way of various amounts of glitches in the game ghost is a pretty good spell like As Joe just said , it prevents fall damage, but it also makes your footsteps silent so you can sneak behind enemies as well, and as you just mentioned, it will be used for a lot of glitches and things that the code will be using here very soon.

Well, we approach a lady named Emma in this room. If you see a large room in a Dark Souls game, you know a fight is coming. Fortunately, this fight comes later. We'll come back here, but I need to talk to her. right now to get a little banner that allows me to keep going. Oh my god, that door is scary. Dresses? I just got stuck in that door. Oh yes, it is a very strange error. I just think every once in a while it will just disappear. block your character a little too thick, so you saw how Fiona put her hand behind her back it almost looked like she was scratching somewhere, you'll see she was more like trying to use an object to deal lightning damage to my sword. it worked, but then I just cast terror and threw a throwing knife and now I have multiple damage items on this sword, allowing me to get through this boss a little faster.

Yeah like we mentioned before he put a fire gem on his sword and usually in these games you want to not be able to use one so you can buff your weapon a lot so the fact that he used that bug now he has a fire Schwartz what they're going towards with my right and so the damage is crazy and as you can see the board has already defeated with the +0 weapon, which was the faster version of the void for the port fight, basically it was, but has a second phase that redoes three big charge attacks and I think it adds about 12. seconds, that wouldn't be that long, but yeah, if you land the 15th hit correctly when you're about to start your runs for phase 2, you'll stagger him out and then you just want to make sure you have a full stamina bar, so you can take him out right there, so I just freaked out and grabbed some cool skulls right next to those dogs that lure enemies away from you, so I have some key locations.

I'll throw them over the course of their run, you know, turn this on. bonfire I'll be back here in a moment bonfires, just know that's where you'll respawn once you've died, probably inevitably I mean, I'm really surprised that I've died so far in this run, yeah, yeah The guys don't know bonfires like you just said. I mean, when you die, you respawn there, you light them up and they're basically a safe spot and you have items called Estus Flask that replenish your health, so if you use them and sit at a bonfire, it will replenish them up to their full amount, so it's pretty much the safe haven you can go to, yeah, so I'm just picking up a few more items.

I have some bunches of charcoal pine that are for lighting and Estes chard. which will allow me to take five Estes instead of drinking to restore health and then some pine resin and charcoal so I can set the sword on fire. One of the interesting things about the bug where you get elemental damage on your sword when it's already infused like this is already infused with fire Jim it will do more damage if it's not split between different types so if it's fire on fire it will be best and we will do that for the next three bosses before we move on to the main weapon of the game in this area there is a giant, you can't really see him, but he will shoot some arrows towards these gaps, he is trying to hit you too, you are too fast, with good luck, yes, I'm going to throw.

My first sexy skull here is going to knock this guy out the door with the hammer. Blocks the entrance a lot. Yes, actually, this is a good reset. Do you aim for the game because depending on what the big guys do, they can block your interest? The door can be destroyed by um or hit by one of the giant's arrows, so Lawrence went there and really helped to be ablepass to the boss's flame. You can also try to bait one of them out of the door. Taking your easts, but it's a little riskier, actually, you guys saw that the bud scratch is getting ready to make the mistake again.

I notice that he is dropping the Charcoal Pine bubbles on the ground because he wants to use them later, effectively doubling it, so now he has a Fire Infused Shortsword with the fire raised, so it will deal massive damage to this tree, which in It is actually weak to fire, so it will melt very quickly. This is also a pretty difficult boss if you get there early, it's no joke cult. makes it sound like a joke but this guy hurts probably the best design. The boss is just a giant tree with these weird pus acts on him and he just has guys hanging out and kneeling or praying in the room when you walk in .

I don't even know what they're doing. good time, strange ball anyway, yeah you just throw away the pasta tag and then I go back to the last bonfire I rested at, otherwise I would be stuck in that room, I have to light the bonfire and then go back , so this is just it's a little bit faster to use Homer's bone right there, anyway, in the next section I'm going to run a different route, oh, one of the things I wanted to talk about, actually normally , when we run this game, we base it on game time, right?

Then I'll open the menu. You can see we're at 10 minutes and 17 seconds into a game time, although that's not what the stopwatch says, so with a marathon or like a race, we're doing it in real time and it actually changes the way we that we do the route you'll see when I open a lot of doors like I'll just sit there and open them, but if you go out a door it actually stops the game timer and normal running speed. It's like we're releasing a lot more, but in an environment like this I want to make sure I skip every loading screen possible and spend as much time as possible booking them through the game we're releasing on the first one.

A big leap from the game is called the Ferran Keeps Kit and this is one of the biggest. I'm not sure who figured out the basics of a death camp, I'm not sure who actually figured out how to activate a death chamber. but the location and the jump were distortions to definitely want to mention it, it's one of the biggest

dark

souls

racers out there or just speed racers in general, that guy fixed a game and destroyed it in a matter of weeks, anyway, Yes, it is probably the second most difficult jump in the game, the only other one that is above it would be the Wilhelm jump, which we will see a little later.

This jump requires Colt to stand in a very particular spot and then run up a cliff and then jump to the left. at the exact moment the game thinks he's going to die once the game realizes that oh no foal is dead everything is fine it will reverse the camera on him the foal will run out of bounds and It will outrun all the enemies I need to fight, it will unlock a huge area of ​​the game and those dogs seemed to think it was a good idea so I need to turn left and jump simultaneously without dying.

Oh, I have the mouse dragging. Wow, so yeah, to get a proper angle here because when you jump you have to be able to jump towards the hole and get out yes, I'll do it there, this is a very difficult jump, but this can take a little time. I'll be honest, I'm having some keyboard issues, so it's kind of a hardware thing right now, but I've been able to pull it off a few times. I really want to show you guys this, we'll try it a few more times. Sometimes the exact window to perform the jump is quite small, probably around four frames, four to five, and must be done with the keyboard while clicking forward and left at the exact moment you jump or else , you will get a different type of jump. that won't allow your character to enter the death camp, so I thought he abandoned to reset the dogs' position because he can't lure the skull anymore to send the dogs jumping over the edge, so that'll be it now. sneaky on the dogs, I'll see you, they can smell and that's it, father, jump, good job, huh, and now you can see the cameras all reversed and your control is actually reversed, so these practices make it look easy, but It's really the controls are revised in Gillis Lee hard, they're tank controls so I just control the character with the left stick which you basically keep forward all the time, if you hold left you'll just turn in circles to the left, the same as the true one, if you stop, you do this strange dance of convulsions.

I don't know what to call it, but as you can see, the game is pretty much loaded at this point because it's supposed to be dead, right, yeah, the game has only loaded on things at At the point where we saw it, the definition camera was reverse and you can run a long way, so he was able to skip a big area of ​​the game called Be Fair and Swamp, where you have to go through this thick swamp full of enemies that you have. Like these three separate fires, which takes a long time, so this kid probably saves around you, let's say about two minutes, maybe yeah, it's like three and a half minutes.

I don't know what's up with the squishy stuff in the swamps, but man I'm glad I don't have to go through that in this game, that's probably why Dark Souls 3 is my favorite in this series for that reason alone, Ferren, yeah, that's good because, though I mean, Fiona might want to go see him. your husband in the swamp, you know that now that we think about it, so he just took the twin blades of the sail sword and also picked up the fee and Cole, it's the twin blades that are actually probably one of the weapons, if not the stronger. in the game so he'll use it later and just cut through the bosses so we saw him pick up a sharp gem earlier which is what he's going to infuse these twin swords with elsewhere, well this one is infused with fire.

Other twin swords will be infused with Xterra tea infusion and he's going to use all of his stats on dexterity mainly to get the max and that's why I also picked up the charcoal. You can't infuse unless you pick up that charcoal. so now let's move on to the next boss lists which are the abyss watchers and these guys are going to be pretty tough yeah we're going to have to give maximum concentration here well right now I just cast ghost I'm going to try to do that. Stop this enemy on the left from following me to the door.

If he ends up at the door, I'll have to go out and waste a few seconds. It seems like he is chasing me all the way, so don't worry, I will do it. a specific setup to go into this boss fight due to the difficulty of the fight we are going to attempt. I don't know, try to make it a little less difficult. I believe in you. Okay, now these guys jump a lot in the first one. The phase will be about three of them, two of them will fight each other and one of them, actually, all three will fight each other, but with a complicated sword game, well, there were some, I guess, like dropped boxes in the game, right there, that makes me a little nervous I really hope this works we're good, best watch now we were just joking about the phobian, with what he just did, going through the door he created a glitch or the chasm, look at me, We'll just stand there and take all the hits there at you until your head hurts.

I turned it off and that's phase one. Phase two is coming. Is the same. We just walked away. He tries to be his friend. He says: Hey man, I have. shooting my gun - why do you have to do this like no, sorry or not my way. I think he's spent too much time staring into the abyss. The Abyss Watchers are fine, so after the fight I just didn't use their soul. of the blood of the wolf probably the best name for his soul in the game and I dropped it and then threw a boot through a throwing knife and got twenty thousand free souls, it will help me level up a little more.

The thing is what that soul does if I also throw Fuchs so I can throw great distances, like two birds with one stone, he kills that skeleton sitting there in the corner, so this ball explodes the bone fragment of no- dead that he just picked up. up makes his Estus flask more powerful, you only get two of them in the run so it's pretty cool to go and we're in the catacombs. Karthus now there are so many skeletons. The catacombs can be quite scary. These skeletons can do a lot of damage and they also have bleed infused weapons and if they plot a bleed on you then you are taking more damage so get out of here they don't like the look at Fiona and things the jump here is long .

It's also quite difficult, okay, so there we have the grave or Nash's, we'll use them later. It helps us, we can buy upgrade material for our weapons. He was able to escape from all of Skelton, who is kind, so we can move on now. In the next area of ​​the game they are still after this guy wants you, yeah now we approach the Highlord wall, close to basically the way this boss works is you break his bracelets and the boss explodes, it's nice though It has a lot of style, oh. yeah we have to catch him he just kills oh where he gets cold I won't wear his crown again for the rest you just run and touch the cup the game is like you should touch the cup and you say no I don't want to. touch the helicopter, tell us what you're telling me, hey man, you touch the wall of my mug nearby, it's not a particularly difficult loss, it's a very attractive boss, but it's more or less a trick, you destroy the bracelets and the fights essentially end like Coulson had a lot of trouble taking him out after doing each running attack, he'll basically know where he'll put the bracelet next time, as a heads up, it wasn't even necessary to launch that attack, just ours, the second the fight ends is basically Up, that's a cheap gem bro here we go the colt was able to quickly kill two very well yeah if you break the third bracelet before he moves it forward it actually goes into the air the fire air destroyed the column a little faster, so it is saved.

You're okay, it's like 5 to 10 seconds, really yeah, it has to do a full animation, really like he falls back into the abyss. I also cheated that soul again, wolf blood soul, so I got 60 thousand instead of just 20 thousand. it's a good hit he has to run through his legs it's necessary now what you're seeing Colt do here is he's running down he's grabbing a bonfire for a boss we'll see later while he's collecting upgrade materials to sell When I win, okay? So now we go back to the Farling round for the first time in the game to upgrade our weapons and level up a bit, maybe we can hear more kind words from the shrine maiden, not many that time buying some bones on the way home, seductive skulls.

Also, it's not normally part of his output, but it's definitely nice to have for this one, oh yeah, so he just upgraded his cellular sword with his plays we picked up en route to a +4 and infused it with edge. He and Jim are going to level up now with the fire keeper so he can wield them, obviously, and we'll be using these weapons throughout the run and a dexterity of thirty-nine is a lot to have so early in the game, especially with a blade infused sharp twin, so you're about to see the bosses and everything you decide to hit melts, so being able to do it until it's slow, they did it before really helped it here, so it's pretty overpowered in this one point in terms of damage production.

As for the smarts, the next boss we'll see is Crystal Sage, although she's a bit missing, so if we want to read some donations now would be a good time. Good deal we got $25 from Holly eight nine three two says good luck Coltrane close up. until Jodi Dean quit on the couch and the friend: We got $100 from Sue, yeah, who says Coltrane's over, just thanks and uh, LMK and sausage bun with fifty bucks and says y'all wanna see the train, baby Hey, LM, these are them, then. I just grabbed the grass ridge shield, you'll see me switching between shields depending on what I need to do.

This still gives me extra stamina recovery, so it allows me to spend more time running and attacking instead of just walking, even when in place. back, it doesn't have to be in your hand, yeah, okay, so who are we now at Crystal Sage, a very annoying daredevil, I would say, but yeah, that's the orange, that's the best orange you can get, so Overall, this boss can end a lot of things. racing also because you need him to do a particular move, which she just did immediately, he cast the single mass and he can't teleport if he does so normally when he enters his second phase he creates clones of himself and teleports throughout the arena. he just gives you a hard time, so the goal is to make sure you avoid that.

He just gave me a gift. It is really nice. I just acquired the armor that I will use during therest of the race. The herald armor is on the. way, it's convenient, it won't make me go over 70 percent gear load, which is another thing, when I go below 30% gear load I can get longer rolls, but if I go over 70 you get what are called rolls fat, I actually don't think I can go over 70 right now. Can? Yes, you really want to shorten that much time. I don't want that Rosie, then you have fewer iframes and you run slower.

See you later in the round. I'm going to change armor pieces just to make sure I'm just under 70% gear load, the rule will apply in instances later in the run, we'll be fine too, we'll change armor sets for the different resistances that have. Provide the exchange to my staff, okay, so this is another good long run. I'm just going to grab another s2 highlight here that will allow me to have a six flask for my flask and then I'll put on a dagger for a section. Uploading the dagger has a really unique weapon art. I'll explain it in a moment for those of you who don't know that the R weapon is basically the weapon as a special move, every weapon has one and the daggers are a short little dash that is very useful for getting through thick swamps and you know, if you You find maple syrup or something in the river, just grab a dagger and you'll be fine.

He picked up an undead bone charcoal. Again what they do is allow you to take more Estus to have a drink so you can be more in control which is very good because you only pick up a few so the more you can take the better yeah usually at the end of the career. You can have like 15 Estus.and a +10 flask in this, I think I'll end up with 7 and +3 in the normal run, oh yeah, some kind of precise stone, this right there can be pretty scary, as you can see in the photo, there are a lot of enemies and they are It's really powerful so it's doing a good job of maneuvering towards everything, it gets quite difficult once you start getting hit in this area too because especially this enemy just doesn't run they chase you very far and attack very quickly, they also accumulate bleeding. like once you start getting it here, you might have to stomp again.

I also enjoy these self-immolation animes. It's probably for a good cause, they set themselves on fire to fight cancer or something. The pretty man. I love the architecture in this. game, can I just say there are some really awesome areas, just beautiful places, talking about things you love. Didn't you say that this next boss is your favorite? Oh yeah, we're having a party, okay, slow. Coltrane is now picking up the Lords deloitte. sword ring is a you have rings in this game and they give you different things that you can do like um some will give you more these others will give you you can get the chlorine theory it gives you more resistance this ring particularly gives you a 10% damage increase on your attacks when you're at full health, so the rings are really useful and obscure those trapped in the thrall very quickly.

Oh, the giant got me, even though that's what we call the poop scoop. I don't know why these giants just hang. outside and stuff and you can see he was running through the swamp and he's using the dagger weapon art which allowed him to slide if he didn't have it he'd be basically fat rolling through it so the dagger really helps get through the swampy areas or you're about to see is the best house party in all of Dark Souls, so these guys are called Deacons of the Deep, they worship and think they worship the boss I'll fight later, this is their altar and I don't know if you can figure out how I'm supposed to do this fight, you can guess there's something going on, you just have to play hot potato, these guys, wherever the red light goes, we just kill them, we just track the Remos, eventually the Pope will arrive to talk to you, but Oh, strongly, and at this point, this is Phase Two where the actual Deacon will come out.

Now it's just one, the one there, you eliminate them in fights for GG, so after that fight. I just received an item called a small doll that I will need to access the next area, so many people after killing the great Mr. Wallner will try to continue forward and end up on this bridge that I am about to cross. get to you, oh yeah, we're also getting close to one of my favorite places in the game. I was going to say well let's hit the road, it's beautiful so here's a really cool place, the thing is this is where the real hard fights happen in DS3, oh yeah?

Just when everyone crosses this bridge, I would say, actually, yeah, my first game was, yeah. You ran it and then you hear something behind you, oh God, what is that? cat, he killed that beast there because it drops an object called rain called pontus right eye and what that does is that as long as you have consecutive attacks it increases your attack power, so we have the strongest weapon in the game at +4 oh, it's a sharp look from Jim 39 Dex Lloyd's sword ring and that ring so you can imagine the damage done it's going to be pretty crazy already so on our next jump here it's called spray jumps so even though it's an area beautiful, we I'm not going to see most of your previous interests and run through the basement as soon as possible.

I have to get this mouse to play well, take it easy, so I'll send you out of bounds. I cast Fook just before falling. so I wouldn't take any fall damage, it conserves some Estes, it takes like two seconds each time you have to heal, so when you're actually running, most of the time I'll be running with almost no health just to try to save a few seconds here and there, so with that jump he said he practically jumped the entire area of ​​the line, so he saves quite a bit of time and can just run to the next ball. snow so yeah go under 30% gear load to roll through all that water otherwise shorter rolls just takes a long time to get to some of the oh man this is a pretty tough section, They are just dogs.

I don't like dogs, I'm not a fan of anyone. This Dark Souls game knows what dogs are like. I think they are the worst boss. In fact, I'm pretty sure they could be dogs. They will have quite a few glitches in this game. They can teleport above you if you don't have them on camera. and they can attack at the same time they do so, so if let's say three of them decide to do that at once, you can die pretty quickly. Yes, Lori's targets are your best friends and you can see that they attract enemies and really help you. this area because the dogs you're pretty cruel if you don't launch those targets, they teleport you on top of them right now, even after running for a couple of seconds, okay now we're getting to the boss I died. about 300 times too, so Pont is Sullivan, I think he's got it, oh I mean look at this guy, does he look cool?

That's a pari, by the way, there are a lot of enemy attacks that you can deflect, speaking of which, so let's go back and try again, so we missed it, but it's okay, you can try to provoke another one in Wow, oh, and that's what I'm talking about, but he's very tough, okay, he's very fast. running section to come back as long as we can get through the dogs right you still have two skulls you have two skulls so I'll use one of them on the way back anyway yeah Perry syncing I'll be honest. I'm surprised I missed the second one.

I barely hit him to wait, but once you really know an enemy's moveset, like you can just parry into his position or take extra damage from staggers, it's okay, you should think you've got it. You gotta make him think he's got a chance, man. Fiona. I'm sitting here like I'm admiring the sound of your bare feet as you run. I never realized the difference, so you're talking about how, you never realize how. thick the owner was so you can see the dogs there he threw a skull but it didn't affect the others because they weren't in range but they are quite ferocious but it seemed oh I spoke too soon so you can see how difficult it can be to maneuver with the dogs , but it looks like it'll be fine, hopefully, I think it's still on me, I can hear it, it's getting some good RNG from the enemy in front of the boss door, although that enemy may run up to you and hit you. with the scythe very quickly we go back to Pontiff, come on, good job and that's basically the fight right there, this is one of the few written fights in the game, the way he's doing it now he's going to face: it's this transition where it stands up in some like a clone but you can attack the door and you take damage but Cole will just take that damage because this house is even faster so now he's dead.

There is a subtle manipulation that happens with the boss during that fight if he realized it after the second one. Parry Cult turned around and started punching him on the back to make the pontiff slowly turn around and let him launch three additional heads, plus you want to get on that side of him so he backs up towards the exit door so he doesn't No you have to run so far once he is dead. This is a very running section. There will be an area coming up that was also in Dark Souls 1 with some arrows shooting at us, but it will probably be Johnson.

He was doing a little. dance there he scares me sometimes you can chase him pretty far you can be about to collect the ashes of the east he will let me get the next upgrade item big titanite shards oh yeah it's cold saying this is just our area we run around a lot , so If there are any donations, you can probably read about my perfect timing for this. Well, right now we have $15 on Frogman. This big fan of gdq and Dark Souls pumps for this race. Good luck. Donate $15 to people. Xan jbeil says that gdq has many games. so we have $25 in flavor, says hello colt, all the best in your career.

It's great to see you on the big screen when Tory beats up Gayle, since there is no donkey mana option for character creation and 100 dollars from Cheshire Cat, who simply says that the runner's choice is definitely Fionna. Alright now we come across the next area of ​​the game called Anor Londo, this was actually an area in Dark Souls 1 so if you played this Souls game this was a fangirl moment or at least for me. to the end you know so we'll go back to enter Londo where we had Dark Souls 1 but now there will be a different boss here the first day we fought the Deacons before and Kokinda talked about it they're worshiping something that we can see what they loved here as the next boss you'll fight yeah one thing I wanted to mention is that tower I just spun to the top with the original executable app code for this game that we used to lock all the time on fast races and often crashed just as you reached the top of that tower.

There's a b3 lyp community member who made a fix so we wouldn't crash twice during the course of the sprint, I just wanted to shout out to him, thanks. So much for doing that, I'm really glad I don't have to restart my game twice every time I run so thanks man okay as you can see Colt uses a resident pint outside the fog wall here because these balls really he doesn't give you much of a chance to do it while you're in battle, he attacks immediately, you want to be close to him to force melee attacks, as you can see here and yes, we have a solid opener.

In this pretty good one, Aldridge, in orange, has a lot of very, very powerful ranged attacks and tries to keep you at a distance during most fights, so you have to run towards or to the right when she appears and if You wonder what authors it is from. I am, she's just a giant black blob with a head on top of her body and now she's gone, she has two cycles, yeah, yeah. Aldridge somehow absorbed the body of Gwendolyn, who was Gwyn's son, right, yes, for the first one Gwendolyn was raised. when he was a kid, you know, they raised him like a girl, but he's a boy, right, something and then a drop ate him up.

I feel bad for myself, like nature does. God devours the blog, so I'll get some extra stamina. I just upgraded my weapon to plus. six plus four and I'm going to burn a second. I'm not going to leave. I'm going to burn a second on that bone fragment here and then go into the distance. One interesting thing about this speedrun is that you actually have to have a certain amount of stamina to perform some of the jumps in the later game, like a jump you'll see later, participating in the jump cannot be done with less than 20 stamina. efficiently, yes, there is another jump I will make.

Let's line up our stamina bar, so let's try to stay at 29 stamina for this setup. I mean, we could find setups with other amounts of stamina, but that's the amount we ended up with in the speedrun, so I'll make sure I have that amount. Even if I could afford more, we're now going through the ethereal dungeon, which can be a very confusing place for many aspects of the area. DS AK. I got pretty lost here for a while and these enemies are the jailers if they shoot. If you discover his Miss, inthem because I mean the His older brother likes what he loses mobility after killing the demon Prince, who he will see later than the younger one.

I don't know what the logic is yet. Do you think he's just saying? Well, he's trying to get up, could he just the foot? It has to be a great fight back to Anam, a good party animal. Thanks, again I'm using a soul in the free time I have after the fight and I'm cheating her for an extra 20K, it's very risky and the Colts are a lot. souls 390 1000 normally when you play this game you get about 10 30 50 K you know that's okay I'm going to level up Colt doesn't need that No that's okay so the item you picked up earlier the way to defend Gunther, the path of the Dragon which you will now use, which here is used to UM being transported to another area of ​​the game which is Arts Dragon Peak and we will have some bosses to deal with there.

Another part would probably be a good time to read donations. Well, we have five dollars on gloomy Sunday. This is how much do I have to donate to sit on the couch? You have fifteen dollars of ERISA. Sara who says look. at speeds souls doing interesting things shut up to joke witty and Coltrane you all are wonderful shout out to Smith five bucks from you the guy who says I love souls games my friend Chris introduced me to them and made me buy the ps3 and now I've done it all at least once. DS3 is my favorite and now I'm thinking about speedrunning this game too and of course we can't have what ut qfo this $25 from Dex fm.

This is the first sound donation. Long time viewer. Excellent calls. Keep up the good work some notable things happened during donations when we saw the cult collect xantho ashes so now once he gives them to the shrine maiden he was able to purchase unlimited lightning buffs for his weapon and we also used that gesture. Dragon Path that we obtained by killing ghosts. I got up to go to a hidden area of ​​the game. He's a nice little dragon. II. Place artistic dragon feet. This is also an interesting boss design. It's set up like a kind of glove when I've run in, you start knocking, well, it's the old why and I'll let it present itself, but we have to open the door.

Also, hell, these enemies are like snake guys, yeah dude, so this is the old wyvern that most people don't. I don't know if they run and tap their foot and say, "Oh wow, I don't know the damage," you can actually run around this gauntlet and then end up on a ledge in that direction after you run through a group of enemies and when you jump over his head and one shot him, so basically yeah, like Cole says, his boss's job says you're supposed to run around this huge area and jump on his head, but with this right here you can jump over a ledge and jump on his head, which the game thinks you should do.

You know, he did the giant jump and you can just shoot him from right here, so they made the hitbox on his head pretty big so people wouldn't fall to their deaths jumping and we can exploit it that way in another way. The nice thing about that setup right there for that quick kill spot, right? It gives you enough time to jump up and grab the protection ring that we saw Cole take off, that makes you a little tank, increases your physical stamina, but It's very good in the later areas, so now let's move on to the next balls. final boss here, North Dragon Peek, he is called the nameless king and is considered probably the hardest boss yet, although oh that's it, here we go, yes, later, I will go to a bonfire that is near the boss and then I'm going to take one of the last key items for the race, which I think is the ashes of champions, something that I can chase or I can chase, yeah, yeah, that's what will allow me to buy titanite chunks.

I thought you already killed this guy normally if you're casually playing this game, you'll find enough upgrade materials to be able to upgrade your weapon on your own without having to buy anything from the shrine maiden, but it's much faster in the speedrun go. to collect the ashes and then take all the echoes or extra souls that you have in the blood, hey man, it's a good game, but you take all the souls that you have and then use them to buy all the improved chills, very quickly you grab these ashes , you are actually very It is very difficult, there will be many enemies chasing you here, so yes, it already has a home or a bony foot because as soon as you grab these ashes, it needs to be boned immediately to avoid being killed or knocked down from the edge . enemies, there is a chance that they will hit me, no one, no one, I'm not very nice today, yeah, okay, I'm reaching the final level here.

I'm going to place the Lords of the Lord's ashes, they are his skulls in these. Thrones, so that was Aldrich looks a little different now and there's actually an animation cancel that I can do if I run out, I got it, we're going perfect, so we skip five seconds, we have that one - edit - yeah, you just have than give it a like. spam right when you're running off the ledge there are actually two ways the animation cancel can go the faster way we saw it done in cult and then there's an option where you can do half of it the animation and then you will fall. after half ok so you love getting 29 in Dorne Stare which allows you to run longer and take more attacks personally and now you are buying the rest of the upgrade material you need to get a plus 10 for your weapon now is where you're going to see that monstrous damage anyway max damage here now we better test them oh colt whoops sir sorry i would never do that but it's necessary for the speedrun as soon as you've placed the ashes in the fire.

The guardian will stay there and you'll have to stick fire on it and teleport to Cinder's soul, the final boss, but if you kill her you can teleport somewhere else, so we're about to jump into the first DLC, now this made all that up. you just wanted to kill her, so she was cold, as the coal began to say before cutting them, this is the first DLC here, we will see the boss's sister released and the champion grave tender, one of them has done a little better than the other. and it is also where we will see the most difficult jump in the game.

Wilhelm's reach. This Wilhelm reach is done the same way as the fair and jump, but the difficulty is changed to fair and jump, the hardest part was getting in. the deaf game while you did the entrances perfectly so you don't fall off the side and the run in fair and jump section was really easy when you look ahead the jump home is completely different it's easy to get in but the Running is very difficult, yes, dogs like to chase you around here or the wolf. I'm going to light this bonfire as a safety measure. I could be back here in a minute.

Hopefully not. Do you know if these wolves do the teleportation stuff? Dogs no, no, they are simply very fast. Wow, well, it's good. Anyway, I just lit the bonfire right next to me, you don't have to worry about those dogs, let alone those puppies that was actually a springer, it's called. the dog jumped out, it's a little unlucky even, but he lit the bonfire, so he's back here, so I really know there's no harm, knock there, so I'm going to tear down this bridge, it actually makes a ladder to the other side , the other side of that is arendelle.

Chapel, which is where we want to end, that's where Sister Frieda resides, she's great, so this is where Wilhelm skip starts. The coal will be located in an area where he can use the cells or the twin swords that drop with the r1 attack to be able to put him in a killing field, you just saw him do something a little different there, he casts a ghost and then retreats the moment he dies, he will now respawn at the spot where he died without dying as long as you exit. the game wall to scream the audio queue is going off and you're afraid you'll be alive just like we see here so this is a jump that used to be in all the DLC one bosses and was resurrected earlier this year by Distortion , we are now in a death camp and welcome to the beginning of Wilhelm's reach yes, I am running here to light a bonfire to fight the champions again later, I am also resting, that is the fog, it is a small square, It's not actually, the full screen effect in case you didn't know, for those of you who have played this DLC before.

Fun fact: they can climb these vines. I never thought they could do it, but not only can they upload them, they can also upload them. With your camera reversed with the tank controls while people shoot at you, it's a really difficult jump. He's probably practiced this, I don't know how long or how much, but not enough, yeah, you can see he has to be very precise with his turns. and with the camera reversed it's absolutely Mert again and look at this and now you have to completely memorize the location of the vines. All this, while the enemies are shooting at you, they can take you down pretty easily, so it's doing a really good and cool job. work, so now you see, uh, I'm speechless right now, this is great, that dude, great job, Fiona's catching her breath, okay, just give it a second, we won't embarrass him on the spot, record like you're coming up the ladder, right?

Now I see that the camera is not focused, we are climbing the ladder although I am doing something, right? I think so, let me look at Gail's boxing incident where it took forty-one ninety-four to five for that. Oh, coming closer, she gets those donations. men oh by the way for all of you a good defense also put in another sixty dollars it says it's from a section of fifty plus an extra ten for using the right gesture well what is it and one more because it's pretty strong ? Sam two four nine one. a thousand wow I just entered Aryan del Chapel I opened another door there as a security measure and then I came out in a very specific place normally here there is a statue blocking the way to the bathroom and you have to go it's like two full minutes to get around an internal lever, but instead, we're just here for that jump to save at least two minutes.

Now, the next boss we will see this sister released. She is a three part boss, personally my favorite. the whole Dark Souls series is heading towards breaking free she has a lot of really interesting mechanics to her, usually the way you'll see this fight is she'll fade one attack and then while she finishes the second one the Colts will come in as much damage as she can, but he can disappear like this if you notice he ran to the left, stay invisible for a moment and then charge up a one-shot attack. I throw a throwing knife at the beginning of Phase Two, that's why she jumped right at me I want to separate these two, you can attack them both in Phase Two, the other Dell area takes more damage and is less difficult to deal with, yes, and in Phase Two, this guy got stuck in a chair for whatever reason and you just want to slide across the floor, he sure has health bars so he takes more damage like Colt said and if you separate them you can practically tank yourself down there, come on, no, we're in the final freedom phase, we're just going to complete with the This way, I make sure to keep my health full during most of these boss fights because of Lloyd's sword ring, which gives me extra damage to boost attack while HP is full, so I get 10% extra damage per hit with this thing you use. two more gold pine resins for phase three and there's a specific move I'm doing while she's doing that opener.

She's a pretty wild opener. You can get a hit and then a backstab out of her. This is a combo. We do two loaded R's, two and then two. more L's Greed is a good amount of health to like right after that opener she has fifty five percent health yeah I think I'm going to wait on this one. I have a chance to stab her in the back right here and we can finish her off. and that should be enough for sister Frito, yes, and now we are on our way to this second DLC, this one has a couple more bosses, it has demon princes, dear, everyone's favorite half-light, Gale, the man, the myth , the legend, yes.

DLC 2 has a lot of bosses and these enemies are really tanky and they are pretty tough too. They actually stepped up a bit for the second deal. In terms of difficulty, they are some of my favorite bosses in the series. such a well designed area - it's so beautiful that they also introduced a newer thing in the DLC - you notice how I fall without taking any damage well, turns out maybe you want to try this, maybe not, but if it jumps from I guess it doesn't matter what as high and land like two inches of ash you'll be fine not in real life we ​​just want to close yeah in the game in the game of course now we're approaching a very technical skiff situation it's very fast it's called angel jump the screams you are hearing on the left there is an enemy called angel shooting basically they just shoot laser beams at you they are painful lasers that hit very hard and what What we are going to see Colt do is try to skip one of those angels completely and skip one good part of the area, well, thisplan to make, but hey, if you're interested in that five dollar donation.

I'm sure you'll get help from our good friend Joseph. We have a Super Nintendo classic. This is not a Super Nintendo classic. This is a very Japanese Super Nintendo classic. We'll get to a minute by minute this is an absolutely cool classic Super Nintendo console, as you can see it's upside down, that's a feature that you can turn the box upside down, very useful personally. I like this build because it's higher and that means it's more important as the Dark Souls series says, seriously think about it, all the high bosses in Dark Souls, the most important bosses in Dark Souls, they only say a minimum donation of $15 and again, you must receive that donation now before the start of Diablo 2 from our good friend. 69-55 we have this beautiful super time force ultra vinyl, guys, vinyl is back, whether we like it or not, it's a great medium, this game has a great soundtrack and it's all here on this wonderful vinyl record. $10 minimum donation and again, something you'll need. to receive your donations immediately, if you are interested in winning over our friends in something artistic, we have these beautiful portal stickers, it has an entrance and an exit and at some point the guy seems to have turned around, that's just the power of portals , man, you never know what's going to happen, all kinds of different orientations that can happen, not in something like this and whatever, don't put them inside each other, although that causes crazy things.

I hear amazing things from my friends in something artistic. we have these beautiful Zelda stickers like I mentioned before, we have all the important Zelda logos throughout the series, we have the Hylian shield, very important, very central to every Zelda game, we have the king of the Red Lions, the most important ship in the Legend of Zelda series. There isn't much competition there but he still has to have some kind of title, let him have it, we have the fierce daddy link, the highest link and therefore the most important link that we have analyzed, it is true in Dark Souls, it's true in The Legend of Zelda, do they exist in the same universe?

I don't know, tell me, and of course, last but not least, we have the king of the Red Lions because, frankly, we needed him in HD. Remix of this game, it was the only one. The way we were going to appreciate it, both sets of stickers are a $10 minimum donation, and again, you'll need to get those donations in ASAP if you're interested in winning any of them. Now we are moving very quickly towards some awards. will be available as soon as we start running Diablo 2 and we'll be running until a little later this morning when we do a random Super Metroid Link to the Past combo, which I'm really excited about, it's going to be a great run, we've got the Manual terrestrial from our friends at Fan Gamer.

It has all the details you need about the land locations and all the characters in it. It's super cool, super informative. It's a minimum donation of $15, so make sure you get those donations and too. From our friends at Fan Gamer and the localization legends team, we have volume-to-land localization legends along with the small volume: Passport, which contains a small guide to Japanese and some cultural things to help you understand the contents. of this book, this is a great book written by a Clyde Amato mandolin and it's about the localization of Earthbound, and all the problems that happened, everything that they had to change some of the things that they forgot and then changed in later versions. and I came back, it is a super interesting read.

I actually had a chance to read it on the plane trip to sgdq this year and there is so, so much information here to review a super cool book again. Fifteen dollar donation from now until the end of the super metroid link to the best combo randomizer, so welcome those donations, let's see what else we have here. Oh, of course, here we have this beautiful Super Famicom. Guys, the Super Famicom classic, it's like the Super Nintendo classic, but it's a little more Japanese and you know what's good, it comes with Super Famicom style controllers and a whole host of 21 different games, although it still contains the only one official release of Star Fox 2 coming to us via a Zeppelin OH, and wellis o A big thank you to them for finding the one I actually didn't even know there was a Super Famicom classic.

I had only heard of the classic Nest until it was mentioned. You have a couple of different games here. I know it has. Goleman's Great Adventure, which I don't think the original had, as well as Street Fighter 2, the new challengers, which I think the original Super Famicom also had, but it's missing such a cool little thing that again it's a $15 minimum donation from now until the end. from Super Metroid random combo to Link to the Past, we have a bunch of really awesome perlers here from my friend Lisi, we have this beautiful Ampharos perler, I mean just look at it, this is one of my favorite gens: Pokémon Marie is in there, like this That's a lot of puns in that Pokémon line.

I love it; we have to go over them right now, but a super cool part, a super cool big Pokémon, we also have this beautiful Skarmory perler that I'm trying to be very careful with here. Honestly, Skarmory isn't a Pokemon I like, but this perler is definitely a hall I like a lot. Big thanks to Lee again we talked about. This is a little early in the marathon but there are two types of perler styles which makes Lee go for a more transparent perler and if you get the light to shine on this correctly, You will see that he is basically transparent, almost friendly. as a measure even though they are beads melted together and that is not easy, it requires a lot of delicacy to achieve it and we also have from Lisi again this beautiful Zapdos salon.

I love this lounge, I love Zapdos, probably my favorite from the legendary super cool Birds. Pokémon, so these Zapdos and the Empress will be $10 minimum donations and the Skarmory here will be a 15. Make sure you get those donations again, that's from now until the end of the Super Metroid combo randomizer. Last but not least, guys. Talk about this, here's a cute little Rowlett that I'm holding upside down as is tradition, let's turn him over real quick. This is just a beautiful little crocheted amigurumi from Rowlett. He has a little flower crown on as you do so.

It's a bright variation of the relatives that you can tell by the teal color and it's super cool, it's a little hard to see from this distance but this is actually all crocheted, it's not built around something, it's just a crochet yarn ball and it is super soft. it's super awesome I'm so glad we have it and it's a minimum $20 donation I think from now until the end of the Super Metroid link to the combo randomizer above so real quick guys before we go I just want to give everyone a A quick reminder that your donations know that they will go towards all the great incentives we have.

They'll let you enter all the great prizes we have, like our grand prize, which is an amazing gaming PC worth about thirteen hundred dollars. the specs of which you can check out on the tracker, but while you head over to the games you've done quickly and calmly to check the track, you should also go ahead and visit the Twitchcon Charity Plaza because all your donations at this event will go to the plaza Twitchcon charity, which is filled with ten different charities, all with amazing causes. We have links to each of their pages, as well as brief announcements about each of them so that you can get involved with them, very happy to be able to work with them this year. and yes, they are all great causes and I am very excited about them, very quickly.

I think it will be all by the end of May. I hope it's not the end of May because that's a little ominous, but I think we'll bring it back to the front. Remember to head to the finished games. Fast and calm. Take a look at the tracker. It has all the information you need about upcoming Bid Wars races, prizes, incentives and of course the charities this event is proud of. support Big John if you all want to retire it, there are two concerts, okay Ruslan, we don't forget to take those donations and by the way, for the chance to mention it, we went over sixty thousand dollars during that last run.

There, that was for $13,000 back in the day like four or five hours, so that's actually really good again, don't forget the ice road incentives, but I'll have a replacement because I have to go so I don't pass out on the transmission . You may have that TOS violation, so we have additional helicopters that will intervene for me. I'll see you all tomorrow for that, the best part of gdq, the Mario block, yes, fight me, so make sure you don't miss that and I will. See you all tomorrow, but of course don't forget the talk: next is next.
