have more and you might have noticed we cleared off the desk we did we're gonna need some space today okay all right all right what you got for me well I got a couple of things to talk about here you know first off I have this amazing overwatch Reaper statue guys this was sent to us by a good friend Shawn Hammonds you might remember that name you seen in not one but two PS fours to the marathon home incredibly generous guy this is an original series one straight from Blizzard Reaper statue these things are like impossible to find right now I think when they originally came out they were like three hundred dollars or something straight from Blizzard Wow yeah it's crazy hard to find one of these they are they are pretty awesome so let's turn them over face the camera a little bit doing his death blossom right there try not to die die die boy I'd rather not yeah you know I'm kind of having like you know just just like memories of you know not very good memories right now just looking at the statute I got bad memories of TV he's gonna be on all afternoon $50 minimum to get in for Reaper we got some awesome stuff for Dark Souls coming up I know everyone's excited for the dark souls run we have this crazy primordial flame print here from sky epic prints definitely really cool done on burlap so it's kind of see-through it that's really like it's definitely different than like a lot of the prizes you see it you know gdq's so it looks like really cool yeah so it's a different style and it's a really iconic scene if you're a fan of Dark Souls but here's here's something I think just about everyone's been waiting for what's that you know bandai namco we love the midi it's so much that price pack was amazing I mean there's no way they can top that it definitely was and you know what they're back at sgdq I have something even better than a single copy of Dark Souls oh my goodness what do we got we got World Rally Championship I know that's not really amazing it's you know it's it's cool by itself Digimon world frontier oh that's a cool code it's pretty cool yet you know I gotta be honest I didn't know did your mom world was still going on but that was my jam it sure is one day it sure is yeah we also have a copy of Dark Souls 3 okay we're getting there you know I got three games see if Dark Souls you're ever gonna need all in one packet pretty solid I like it all right we got three games okay it is alright so next up we have a little t-shirt here and you might not recognize the image on this t-shirt but don't worry about that because it's a t-shirt from code vain Bandai Namco's new game actually just announced at e3 I believe that's awesome this looks to be some kind of 3d action RPG based around vampires and monsters looks looks pretty sick the shirt looks pretty sad ya know this shirt is like legit I like it we we have a copy here of little nightmares nice collector's edition comes comes with a little statue of six main character pretty solid game I would say play it because I'm sure most people haven't even heard I haven't actually touched it myself is it good that's a good game alright I'll try to start Oh start friend's opinion guys but coming up next is a game I have played and a game I love to death we have tales of verse areas writers edition that's right guys if you don't know about the tale series you really should incredibly popular action RPG series to be going since the days of thus nests spawned Star Ocean and a bunch of other action RPG game tales of Bruce Area newest one in the series definitely a great game I don't wanna say too much and I want to spoil anything yeah but I feel like zestiria if you'd like to Sinfonia you're gonna like Bruce area I agree and if you do like Bruce area then you're gonna like the statue of velvet crow this is pretty good this is pretty sweet so it's a really well made statue it looks looks pretty great stands about just a little shorter than our Reaper there it's got a lot of detail on the box we're gonna leave this one in the packaging because this is a collector that's fair enough main character tells super serie right here pretty good alright so that's a lot of stuff it's a lot of stuff but you know what it's it's not even done oh wait there's more there's always more darkman there's always more because you know Bandai Namco did release a pretty popular game recently any guesses on what that might be um was it Ace Combat form I don't think so it was a the newest entry into the Tekken series Tekken 7 yo we are you know we'd this cube Tekken 7 keychain make sure nobody hop kicks your keys out of your hands yeah that's always good a lanyard okay good for you know whatever badges you might have we also have oh boy okay lectors edition of Tekken 7 all right like what like the is there like you know like everything under the Sun in this collector's editions is the biggest box I've ever seen for a game oh it is it is an amazing collector's edition it comes with some nice stuff it comes with a steelbook copy of the game featuring artwork of Kazuya and Heihachi and as well as it comes with a collectible figurine it's about as tall as Reaper it is Kazuya in midair you can see it on the back of the box nice jump kicking hey Hachi yeah she's grabbing him by the hand it's it's an amazing statue um you know guys I gotta I gotta be honest with you I might not look like somebody who belongs to the fgc I might really just look like a sentient beard trying to control a weird person that's accurate a lot of people would agree but you know let me tell you I grew up in the arcades I grew up playing third strike I grew up loving fighting games but it wasn't really till college when Tekken 6 came out that I gave the tech of franchise a chance and you know I went from I don't know about Tekken to we were bringing in ps3 console setups and hooked them up to the TVs in the cafeteria because some extra matches nice you know we were we were maybe skipping a class or to get a few more rounds in with the people we like to play we started hosted weeklies we actually started raising a little money for charity ourselves back in the day you know so the only $3,000 certainly nothing compared to the 1.2 million we've already raised but Tekken 7 came out recently you know newest straight addition of Tekken and I've just fallen back in love with it you know personally Street Fighter was the game that got me into the fgc that got me into finding games but Tekken was the game that just made me felt like I belong and I love it guys if you haven't tried Tekken 7 really should it's pretty good and you could be playing Tekken 7 yeah on the story dragon stick all right let's legit this is a pretty legit stick this is top of the line fight stick here you got seonhwa vinci buttons that is the arcade standard for buttons these things you know they have such a great feel you can hear it you can hear that quality right next BAM stick here double spring snaps back to neutral super fast so we really important for clean inputs personal preference for a lot I've had a stick before and like just look looking at the you know the stick over there it looks a lot better than anything I've ever had so faceplate has some nice Tekken 7 artwork let me turn that around for you guys but but the real thing that makes me really like this stick personally is just its its size and weight like it feels good and that's that's something you you know they're definitely a lot of you know cheaper sticks that work sure there are a lot of sticks don't work yes but you know often they're small you know they don't stay on the table this thing it'll stay on the table it will stay in your lap it just it feels good and that's super important when you're playing the game absolutely and you know we might have what I've wanted you have more things oh yeah well we have a Tekken 7 hat it's a hat it's just a hat it's not just a hat oh yeah because on the brim we have that hat signed by Hirata the father of ten this is the guy the guy okay but this is the guy this this is the guy that makes Tekken yeah yeah I know exactly and he signed this Tekken hat that's pretty crazy you you're not gonna get that anywhere else that's for sure where are you going to find a hat signed by Hirata I don't know nope and you know what darkman you not even done I'm not even know it's not even your final form no it's never my final form okay speaking of not even my final form shut up the DBZ fighters that's right Namco that game looks sick it does looking forward to it so from our good friends over at Nile watches and David Howe in particular we have this amazing Nile black swan watch guys this is old world watch craftsmanship like you just don't see anymore the watch

comm check out the tracker it's gonna have all of the pricing for prizes it's gonna have all the totals for incentives it's gonna have everything you need to get ready for sgdq and we're gonna get ready because we're gonna throw it back over here to the hosts as we prepare for Dark Souls 3 nice alright everyone welcome back I'm stove Ares I'll be hosting for the portion of the Dark Soul block coming up here soon before we go on to that though we need to play a 60 second switch ads so stay put a little longer we'll be right back all right welcome back just want to read off one donation real quick with a hundred dollars from anonymous saying darksouls hi and then the runner is ready for Dark Souls 3 so we're gonna throw it over to them and let's get ready to see some dying no I'm just kidding well hopefully not but it is Dark Souls so plenty of stuff is gonna die hopefully just not me anyway I think ENB was the winner of our named donation incentive so epic name bro is now a lovely young lady congratulations to him as he always wanted to be I mean isn't it his dream so anyway once we hit yes we're gonna go ahead and start the timer is everyone ready for Dark Souls that's what I like to hear all right three two one go so this is gonna be Dark Souls 3 all bosses but just DLC one because that's what was available at the time of the the run setup and a submission process a submission process thank you see that's why you're on the couch you're smart yeah I can be anyway we're starting with the assassin class because well it has the spook spell does it have a good weapon or good stats not really but it has the spook spell and that is overpowered and lets us cheap the game a lot so thank you very much for that the shield comes in handy hey kind of we picked up this ashen Estus flask because we would like to have more Estes later on how and it only takes like half a second to pick it up so no big deal I'd love to be able to never pick up any more Estes stuff but this games too hard so we're gonna go into our first boss right away nice and fast this is you Dex Flynn dear and he's slightly challenging at first but when you learned that you can stagger him by continually attacking him over and over he becomes a lot easier so we're at 13 hits we're gonna do some charged our twos to him while he transforms into phase 2 and he is basically dead now just a couple more hits no don't jump oh okay we got a good job hate that guy when he jumps he is so rude it's kind of probably among all the souls games first boss is probably the hardest he's definitely up there another good choice would probably be like Gascoigne from blood-borne oh boy yeah another super hard first boss so uh shoutouts to Dark Souls 1 because well Dark Souls 3 is very much a love letter to the fans of Dark Souls 1 and you know you find that out pretty darn early as we enter Firelink shrine which is our hub for the game yeah what's a little different yeah you know it's been a couple thousand years we're gonna buy a he laid a dagger a short sword a talisman all of those will help us break the game in various ways and we're going to infuse our fire gem that we started with into the short sword we just bought get all our estes set up and we are about ready to head off on our journey so we've got a bunch of nothing to do so a donation would be great I love donations donations you shall have the $50 from mr. Sonic blue who's saying I'm eating fajitas eating spike vegeta delicious we're gonna go ahead and uh tune our heal spell before we go traveling here and more donations let's go all right we have two hundred dollars from Jakob P with no comment but thank you for your donation we have a $500 donation from Andy Hamilton nice he says hi sgdq I've always made it a point to dig deep and share the love with the world giving to Doctors Without Borders while supporting my favorite hobby just seems to be a perfect fit speaking of which this donation goes to the Dark Souls 3 file name being ENB Congrats you got that because I can think of no one more integral to the lore of the gameplay and the spirit of the Dark Souls community than the epic name bro Cheers good donation epic name bro definitely a big name for the the souls community oh yeah one of my favorite people to watch Let's Plays from yeah anyway uh one quick note we picked up some gold pine resin and I actually picked it up on the same frame that I walked off the edge so I skipped the pickup animation and saved a whole second hype yeah there's a tiny little window where you can still interact where you're falling is where the item box will fade away and if you tap it right there to grab it you don't need to worry about doing the snag animation and the best part is it's a swag strap because if you mess it up you lose like 15 seconds of running back up there yeah so it's worth every time anyway what we're doing here is called a months from earlier Dark Souls a full control quit out in this game the spell is called spook but what that spell does is it stops you from taking damage when you take a fall now the way Dark Souls is programmed is if you fall a certain distance when you hate you're gonna die anyway but before it registers that we're supposed to die if I quit out while on the solid ground it just puts me down at the bottom because Dark Souls is just a little too stupid to figure out I'm not supposed to be there yeah so that does also work in Dark Souls 1 um it works in demon souls as well he has been around forever yeah it's because the game is constantly saving your position which is you know a good thing in some ways and a bad thing in others so we needed to talk to her right there to get the stuff to advance after he board yeah she gives us the the small author banner which is gonna let us activate a cutscene a little bit after the next boss who is in this totally not obvious boss arena no you can just know sometimes like I'm gonna find something here now is this a giant square yeah I think that's a boss arena here's the we're not well yeah so here's like the abuse of where you can stay in purport just right underneath him yeah in phase one bots attacks are the hitbox is just his hammer which makes sense once he gets to Phase two though his entire body will hate you when he starts attacking so in once he goes into here we're gonna have to dodge a few charges and he's kind enough to just stand still for a while and do this big breath attack that's aimed nowhere near me thank you sir you got the good luck - so he's right where the bonfire is and we're gonna actually take this bonfire to open that door nice and fast normally I'd do a quit out but just for safety strats will have that bonfire is a backup in case something horrible happens hope we'll be fine yeah this is a pretty risky area up here there's gonna be some dogs some enemies that block doorways some like very jackal ish enemies that have like these weird hats OOP so I stole that dog's bone and he is rather upset with me he's gonna be chasing me for a little while in the meantime go ahead and read a donation while the dog chomps my butt alright we have a two hundred dollar donation from rebel go round saying hello everyone first time donate our mini time watcher every little bit helps but watching the news Zelda get rekt is a great incentive obviously all of this is to dissolve a speedrun and just a quick update on the status of where the breath of the wild incentive is we are currently at we're currently at just shy of 74,000 out of 100,000 needed keep those donations cuming I'm sure we're gonna get that met very soon with your people's generosity nice that's good to hear I'm super hyped for the zelda run yeah that run is really intense the anypercent run so I'm quitting out at this doorway because this guy likes to stand in it when you run over there and when you quit out in Dark Souls it resets all of the enemies back to their spawn position so it moves him out of the doorway and allows me to pass through now I could fight them and go through it but usually the other guy inside of that house off to the right also gets in the doorway and then you lose time and get angry at the world because they hit you in Dark Souls games sometimes you'll see some really weird movement in the speedrun and that's typically intended almost every pattern and place where he stops running and regains run and rolls it's not just improv and trying to get from point A to point B you want to stop certain enemies so he rolled into that one that he just ran by because he's got that pitchfork and you'll switch to a two-handed weapon here because you think of lizards like yeah well I'll switch to this 300 fire weapon whoa what is with that fast teleport lizard I've never seen him do that hey we got a gdq mean we did it don't worry it starts let's three don't have to try that hard that's true anyway coming up to this we have another guy that likes to stand in the doorway but in Dark Souls 3 when you drink estes well nevermind usually it makes the enemy really angry and want to attack you and he'll usually runs out the doorway but today he was afraid of the door it was it was a bad day for him apparently all right so I'm about to do something I'm not supposed to Eve I'm not able to put this charcoal pine resin on my weapon because it's got a fire infusion but I'm gonna do it anyway - I'm going to dupe the resin by putting it on the ground so by this is why we have the he laid in the first place by trying to use the resin it kind of puts the action into a queue and then we access the queue by using he laid and then in Estus flask right after because Dark Souls is really weird now he's got a fiery fire with him and the fire damage snacks and this boss is weak against fire so yeah this boss has these nodes on him that you need to break and eventually the floor will be destroyed and all the enemies will both die of fall damage you don't for some reason that's weird anyway I am going to need a little bit of quiet for a skip I'm about to do right at the end of this boss and there is a sound cue for it the only time we're gonna ask for quiet otherwise I want memes lots of memes oh I think that was early I Suffolk tree achieved hey you never mind yeah perfect good job did I say earlier I meant perfect perfect so that is called the great would skip every boss in Dark Souls 3 is a very narrow timing window like I'd say point 4.5 seconds where you can quit out during their death and it'll put you outside of where their fog gate would spawn now it's not useful for any boss but him and only because he breaks that floor with that I don't have to use a bonfire and teleport all over the place instead I can just run right out the doorway that is open in the area and I got past the bridge at broken dreams a couple enemies walked off because they're very smart thank you yeah that area is just pure hell there's there's so many you saw him dodge everything there that's why I'm quitting out at this doorway I'd prefer them not to come up and hit me the second the door opens yeah it's typically quite tedious but still a strat that you quit out on doorways to save in game time but we're at a marathon we're running on real time and we won't be doing that unless it the point is to get rid of enemies like that all the others are back in their spawn points and no longer on his bud well for now we've just got a little bit of running feel free to read a couple of donations all right we've got $10 from the undead zebra hey saying hey for shadows cheering you aren't from home remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer good luck and we love you buddy thanks zebra yeah $50 from zas train saying greetings from donator long time viewer first time Germany here glad to donate to such a worthy cause and may orangy be forever in your favour for and oh my dog see some oh my dogs I got some dogs up here oh yeah so this next part is the hardest skip in the run to actually learn how to do consistently so good luck to me anyway what we're going to do is I'm going to try to trigger what's known as a death cam and what that is is that is a trigger in the game that you can once you hit it you're supposed to be falling into a pit and about to die and if I do it right I'll trick the game into thinking I'm about to fall - a bit but actually not but first I have to get rid of these dogs go away dogs oh goody teleported off yeah they can just teleport I that's a pregnant one - no I'm sorry the puppy had to die - all right so this is super precise SuperDuper precise in like two different ways I need to aim properly and my hand is cold and not quite didn't quite hit the trigger there a little bit shallow that's too far to the right okay I'm on come on every time I let go of this mouse it moves a little bit come on that was really close yeah that's about as close as you can get without hitting it and any deeper and I would just fall into the pit get your butt in there come on now so yeah sorry if this takes a couple tries this is one of the hardest tricks in Dark Souls 3 uh can you tell how entertaining this is it'll be in just a second I'll come on anyway I can fail this like ten more times and still save time yeah there we go look at that we're dead did [Applause] so like I said before this is called a Jeff hand which and I hit it I hit a trigger that makes the camera kind of lock into place and supposed to go into an overhead view as you fall down and then the words you died come up in somewhere in Japan Miyazaki laughs at you know the property of the camera is what loads a lot of parts of the game so since we're not actually hitting the flags that load the following chunks for the rest of the Ferren area we can just go through them yep you see we are now in purgatory things like trees and solid objects like the ground still have mass but anything that's movable and interactable no longer exists like this skate that I just passed through that I'm not supposed to pass there on this side and now I just have to navigate my way through by the way the navigation during a death cam is really weird I'm using the keyboard because it has basically like tank controls almost like I'm playing Resident Evil and now we're right next to the bonfire yeah so typically you have to walk around the swamp and is really annoying enemies and you gotta light some torches and just to open up a door so you can get to the abyss Watchers but yeah that skips the entirety of the Ferren swamp which is a minute and a half two minutes slog through huge amounts of enemies and a really annoying area and hey if you like really difficult to perform tricks congratulations we've got another one right on the way yeah I don't think there's a single souls run or category that's like competitive and doesn't have like one trick that's like super tricky yep this next one I get one try at unless I want to cheat and load a save file who would do that nobody would do that can't do that in the marathon it's impossible anyway we're about to go into the abyss Watchers boss room but I'm gonna try and enter it in a very special way there is a specific area inside of this boss room which well you'll see all I have to do is line it up this is another incredibly precise trick so if I could have some stability with my hand jeez it's it's it's over I'm so I'm so shaky hands freezing and I have the mouse sensitivity set to zero for this because of how incredibly precise it has to be come on we're just got to line it up I feel like a giant with this mouse this mouse is tiny that's not quite it yep controller please well that work that should work should work all right so a couple of charged our two's it's gonna put me into a really specific area inside of this boss room and this I believe is the only boss room where you can do this they fixed it used to be able to do it on solid cinder I think this wasn't possible before but then they patched the game and then it's possible yeah from soft is really good at doing stuff like that there you go so hey you might notice that the abyss Watchers fight is a tiny bit easier for me than it might have been for you when you were playing I mean he's just he's not home right now but I mean I can still hit him so the way this works for anyone that might be wondering is that when you quit out inside of a boss room in Dark Souls it's supposed to put you outside of the room and there's basically like two different fog gates that can come up into the game I don't worry about him he's fine so if you quit out if you go into the boss room normally to fight the boss fog a day comes up and all that does is that keeps you from going backwards if you quit out fog gate becomes up and for this particular boss that particular fog gate contains his AI when it comes up so that the game can run smoother and the fight doesn't advance itself with the boss fighting itself or anything by the way I just duped his soul for 20,000 more souls don't worry about it it's cool and since since his AI wasn't loaded in we just kind of were allowed to do whatever we wanted to him and now we just need to run past some spooky scary skeletons so for the time being I would love some donations all right we have $250 from an anonymous donor saying get good cheers from one of your Twitter followers best of luck donation goes to runner's choice we have a $500 donation from brainiacs 74:4 it's pretty big yeah yeah yeah yeah he didn't leave a comment but thank you for your donation don't need to clap I do it's a good donation we have a 300 dollar donation from Powell goreck saying have to donate for the Dark Souls runs I love the series even if the difficulty is bad for my nerves we have a 200 dollar donation from Marni sapper 2 1 173 saying I love the Soul series it completely ruined all the other video games for me praise the Sun all right so we've just picked up the Grey Wardens ashes and then ran by Naruto the Great War dashes let us purchase two things from the shopkeeper they're very important first it lets us purchase titanite shards so we can upgrade the main weapon for the run and second it will allow us to purchase some Karthus Rouge which is a resin that got added in Dark Souls 3 which inflates our inflicts bleed damage after a certain number of hits which is going to be the main way that we fight the later game bosses cuz unfortunately there's nothing super opie to the point where I can just dark beat them to murder them like in Dark Souls 1 so bleeding them is the next best thing so just like with before where with this giant hand that we're about to fight I'm gonna dupe the armor I'm going to tumble buff that to put fire on my fire sword and this is highlord wall near he has dank bling and he is not allowed to have dangling because I am the only one that is the main character of this show anyway these bracelets they break after a certain number of hits and do very heavy damage to them as you can see and once all three of broken he will die goodbye a good fight we've even got the fast death animation yeah if you mess that up things go downhill pretty quickly he can he can swipe you in pretty much almost kill you in any attack and he's got like this fog that'll lower your health really quickly yeah if he charges forward and you get behind him you're dead he vapes you to death yeah he is vape lord vulner alright so we're back at the fairing keep cuz as much as I'd love to continue past wall near I have to do some backtracking and go grab a key item elsewhere in the world and of course we're killing all the bosses so there's another couple of bosses I have to go through they can't be allowed to live there are very bad bosses we're about to go grab the main weapon for the run this is the the cell sword twin blades over here they are super good they're actually a starting weapon for the the mercenary class still and the only reason we don't like start is that class least I think it's the mercenary class that has them and anyway the only reason we don't start is that class is because it doesn't have spook yes Luke is more important in terms of the time save but knowing that the cells are different blades are really strong it's not too hard to know what the strongest weapon is I got to do is just tested but it's kind of been out of the way and previously straight swords were really overpowered as well so that used to be part of the route for a long time with a story straight sword and honorary straight sword but spell so turned blades without with plenty of dexterity and upgraded and just using two weapons at the same time basically you can get DPS a mr. krabs no oh he's got the grass crest shield shield in the game always the best shield in like all souls games because it regenerates your stamina uh-oh he's teleporting alright we are very close to our next boss just a couple more doorways hopefully that dog is not following me anymore but knowing Dark Souls he is and you might notice we're passing like all the mages in the universe I wonder what kind of boss we're about to fight probably probably some sort of melee boss alright so we're going to tumble buff our weapon and I'm actually gonna dupe this just for safety in case we get really bad rng on this boss this boss is rng base for the run so this is crystal sage he's going to go ahead and disappear now and I did a I didn't hoops there I did a very specific amount of damage to him to make sure that he wouldn't go into phase 2 yet and I now need him to cast a spell called crystal homing soul mass so I'm just gonna dance at him until he does it oh good because it aren't you he won't teleport while he's doing an attack and as long as one of the beads are still in the air he won't teleport yep and this prevents him from properly going to phase 2 which in phase 2 he'll teleport all around he'll create a bunch of clones of himself and they all hurt a lot and that was a really good crystal sage split actually he only took him a couple of spells before he cast homing so mass fake run killer normally on that fight not because of the difficulty but just got to get lucky it's somewhat difficult to actually fight him like that not and prevent him from shooting off his shots oh yeah they have to circle around him and stay on his side or else they'll fire off really quick safety bonfire anyway we've got a big run going on so feel free to read a few donations all right we have $15 from Mekas saying donating during dark souls because they are some of my favorite games ever good luck to Thor W and praise the Sun we have a $50 donation from Agee the salty saying had to donate for Dark Souls kick some butts for W and kill the annals before they kill you yeah oh no please please dog more donations please alright we have $100 $100 from anonymous saying love seeing new games broken on gdq so I'm putting my birthday money towards breath of the wild and we have a $200 if donation from the vanished man simply saying wow pretty great Wow then we have honeybunch giving $500 donation yeah simply saying go fast alright so this guy is gonna take us into the DLC bubbles do you know why we're going to the DLC right now cuz it's all bosses DLC one well that's a good point it's a good guess good yes okay well you're technically right but we're going to the DLC right now because I am level 10 this is a level 70 to 80 area and I am ready to go oh that's why oh yeah okay I don't know about you guys but I feel confident anyway the real reason we're here is to say hello to the magical appearing tree hello but really what we're doing is we're picking up some upgrade materials for our cell sort twin blades before we continue on with the next boss now like I said before I did make a point of saying this is level 70 to 80 area and again level 10 so I died in two hits if you're lucky well you know there's a couple things I can one-shot me but they're a little farm few between but I die in two hits keep it at that oh yeah you got that female character that takes the counter hit upon running that's true oh that's the worst oh he's pretty oh yeah that's my favorite manipulation in souls games is when you just crystal lizards will run away from you and so if you just stand in a spot that's like away from a cliff they'll just kill themselves yeah in previous Souls games when they did that they'd live but luckily in Dark Souls 3 they die when they actually run off cliffs dude is Final Fantasy 7 also this is the best slide ever it's the best part of the DLC and we're about to go grab another weapon because Dark Souls 3 is a game of many weapons up on that rock there also I'm sorry for these things screaming at us spit your goo and we're not allowed to jump up that rock but uh yeah you know bumps off doesn't want you to know that you can do that so please don't pay attention to it he got probably one of the coolest items for glitching in this game and we'll see it later okay bald oh no not not I know I know if although anyway we picked up the crow quills as uh as bubbles was saying and that is one of the best items for glitching in Dark Souls 3 it got patched like very soon after dlc 1 came out but since we're running just dlc 1 i get to show off how awesome they are yes they're super the benefit of this yeah so um I would rather not have to fight anything in here cuz if I die in two hits it's a bad fight but I do have to fight one person there is an npc in this building over here and he is blocking our path and holding a key very dearly to his chest and I need to rip it out of him wish me luck guys I think I got this though in fact I got this so hard I'm only gonna fight him with my shield the goal the goal anyway this is a vilhelm he is anime incarnate because his voice is deep and he has black fire on his sword I wonder if he's trying to make new friends in his high school anyway I have an ally on my side that he doesn't I have gravity get off of my Mountain sir yes sir alright goodbye I am once more king of the mountain reigning champ so yeah fighting him would be a terrible idea he would murder me instead I am happy enough to just push him off a cliff look stairs those poor books so the next part is just a long run to the next bonfire we got some time for donations I love donations all right we have two hundred dollars from misconnect took my best pronounce that I stumbled upon gdq a couple years ago on twitch and I'm so glad I did amazing games for an amazing cause I had to make my first donation ever during the dark souls run one of my favorite game series of all time thank you to everyone who does an amazing job making these events happen PS sorry if my hard pronounce name we have $150 from zawari Singh long time gdq watcher been a lot of outstanding runs this year starting with a hypest android shenanigans with near AMA and going nonstop since then I may have passed out halfway through ff7 but I tried good luck with Dark Souls and I'm looking forward to breath of the wild and we have $150 from Paul Foster I've spent all this last week trying to think of something clever to say and failed but if Dark Souls playing I realized my time has come throw a good luck and may the good blood praise the seek seek lest [Laughter] that's great that dog jumped right off the cliff and that one ran right off the cliff shut it's a toasty and spiral one hat so we ran past the dog onslaught we've just got a giant Viking here and we're picking up okay don't circle huh sir he's really upset he is super upset geez all right we've picked up the last of our large titanite shards as we are ready to get out of here just got to go grab a bonfire and run past Jeff Goldblum and Jeff Goldblum and all of the Jeff Goldblum's oh wow what a reference oh it's the best reference yeah that this particular room is really disgusting we don't want to go down below there's flies everywhere and a bunch of fly eggs and disgusting stuff everywhere so you know we'll be going down there later get naked oh we gotta get naked for reasons actual reasons uh the reason that I take armor off at certain times is because when you have armor off you're able to roll faster and any time I'm expecting to have to roll a few times I'll take the armor off so that we can proceed a little bit more quickly all right so we're gonna give her these ashes we're going to sell any Souls we still have and we're gonna buy six rouge twelve titanite shards and eleven bones and this is no hiccup this is going to allow us to reinforce ourselves or twin blades up and we'll reinforce our estes give him the faring coal so that we can infuse them with a sharp gem and now they are the best decks weapon ever yeah pretty much giant dad is crying somewhere for me all right so we didn't have enough decks to use it but I'm gonna level up decks just a tiny bit all right that that seems good so with the sharp infusion and with the increased level of these blades they have a scaling yeah close to s probably yeah I think it turns to that if you get like closer after +5 on the sharp something like that yeah but we're gonna see how these just go through people like butter I mean before it would take like four swipes to kill these guys now they're kind of nothing which is great I love being able to murder stuff in one hit feels good man and the swings don't take up too much stamina and they have like a huge I guess circumference of like how far you can actually hit and really useful and one of the best things about them is you can dual wield them yeah and the way dual wielding works in Dark Souls at least as far as I remember is that any time any resin you have will be afflicted 1.5 times any damage is like 1.5 times damaged so your scaling is a little bit better any staggers inflicted by that which makes it so that we can build up bleed a lot faster we can stagger the bosses and it just makes things a lot more a lot more comfy alright we've got some time for a donation there are two or three probably alright we have a $150 from anonymous saying first time donator I had to donate during the Dark Souls 3 run get gud or git rekt sleepyhead donates $200 saying more games please also Belgium says hi they built him we have $250 from Brandon 84 saying thanks everyone for all your hard work for a great cause Thank You Brandon then we have an anonymous three hundred and seventy five dollar donation saying long time watcher first-time donor hoping for that breath of the wilderun while enjoying Dark Souls thank you very much donation we got time for one more all right we have $150 from Ryan henna art saying greetings from Michigan sgdq is always special because it provides a great way to introduce friends co-workers and family to what our wonderful community can do thank you to all the staff and volunteers who make sure the event is safe and welcoming for all all right so you may notice I've equipped that dagger we bought the beginning of the game I'm sure one person remembered we bought that anyway I hope it was you anyway the reason we've got that bagger is sports weapon art normally when you're in muck like this you can't run and any rolls will be like fat rolls but the quickstep weapon art allows us to just kind of cruise our way through it mr. giant are you going to attack me up there it is on that ring that you just got up there is kind of like the opposite of the red tear stone ring yeah very similar to that the lord sword ring gives us 10% damage if we're at full health so very much like the Red Deer stone rings opposite also it gives us this nifty red glow so we always know if we're at high enough health for it it gives him a really good excuse to heal and make it look like he's not scared exactly also I'm not scared of anything please oh yeah it's easy easy every time now if you saw when we killed the first enemies with these weapons these guys are just gonna get torn down so yeah would you like to explain how this boss works so the deacon is more like this energy that flies around between enemies and you have to keep on killing the red with the red dude right there and then when he does it'll go into someone else and then eventually when the health bar gets to a certain amount the real Deacon will pop up from the ground and then once you kill him that's the whole boss but there's a few different variants of the enemies in the air there's the the fatties and the normal dudes mainly and the tall guys that was some terrible rng its spawn behind the coffin what the heck oh by the way that was that was the boss yeah yeah and that fight is like a big race against the clock because eventually you'll get cursed it's really hard to fight against it so you got that quick and you don't even have to you can take like a two more minutes on that fight and still be okay but casually that is a huge hump to go over yeah that fight can be a little tricky because I mean even in the run even with this weapon that just tears them apart once in a while once in a blue moon they all just stagger their attacks on you and you can't move and you get destroyed it's a very bad time anyway welcome to uracil this is like the most beautiful looking place in Dark Souls 3 in my opinion it looks very blood-borne ish you know why okay we're gonna walk through it this time anyway yeah I mean you can see the great filter it does have one minor problem since it's so similar to blood-borne it happens to have a blood-borne boss in it for some reason I'm gonna you know we're just gonna get rid of him goodbye so for anyone that's had trouble with bridge dog there I know I did I hope that felt good for you watching him die it does for me we killed him for the ring that he drops pontiff's right I the way that that works is after you do a certain number of consecutive attacks the the ring will activate and they'll give you a damage boost I'm not sure the exact number but it works really well with a weapon that hits twice when you swing bad haunted night these guys are the worst yeah these guys are terrifying they're really fast all right so um I know I said you ever throw is a really pretty area and I know you guys would love to look at it but we're gonna take a minor shortcut through it and we're gonna save just a tiny bit of time but luckily luckily fromsoft was kind enough to leave a shortcut in the game for going through Aerith on this jump so terrible early this is a super tight jump every every trick in Dark Souls 3 is like really really accurate yeah so welcome to the developer intended route through aerosol from soft just loves that this exists it's canon it looks beautiful too and we're done with the earth ill I hope everyone took some pictures and we are on our journey to the next boss so feel free to read a couple of donations absolutely we have $50 from Mistah saying I've only ever finished Dark Souls 1 after many many deaths but watching you use gravity has inspired me to try out Dark Souls 3 now good luck with the rest of the run we have a anonymous $500 donation with no comment whoo donation okay and we have $2.00 from Jen victual 130 I'm not sure if I butcher that or not saying sgdq thank you for all you do I had to have the stream running non-stop all week as the best way to celebrate my birthday week alright so coming up here is well it's just not a good place is it this place sucks we're about to get mauled by a lot of enemies a lot of enemies and I accidentally threw a that other alluring skull I had but don't don't worry don't worry I'm fine everything's okay go away please dogs okay jeez so we for anyone that doesn't know we just ran by five dogs and four mages it's a tiny tiny little bit of enemies that can kill you really easily Dark Souls 3 loves that they love just shoving a bunch of enemies together and laughing at you when you die I just wanted to interject a relevant donation worth a thousand dollars from anonymous ooh damn saying uh look at that dog [Laughter] alright our next boss here is pontiff's Sullivan he is well he's he's a casual player Slayer he really is here comes that shield here comes that shield yeah unfortunately for him I'm slightly less than casual I've played the game once or twice you know I liked it the first time so much let's do it again by pontiff hey that was a good pontiff yeah that's one of those bosses again that takes many choices casually oh yeah so yeah this is where you just did not like this my childhood no for anyone that's died the pontiff 300 times like I did I hope that felt good for you as much as it felt good for me I love watching him get destroyed so um we're about to go through a place that if you play Dark Souls 1 you might recognize it just a tiny bit no actually my equipments fine anyway right up these stairs man I started my sentence too early my timings off oh no him alright so we're gonna run up these flying buttresses and you might see some some of these silver night's shooting giant arrows at me they got a few Morrison's last time so as you may know this is that famous Dark Souls area this is the darker garden light town Oh close close I'm glad we're on the same page for that terrible joke that nobody laughed at I love that joke I'm glad no one laughed at it alright so I cast spooked there to make sure those guys didn't attack me their spook is good because it masks your you're walking so if you're behind someone they don't really know you're there and they just kind of stand there yeah they look silly in Dark Souls 1 there were the two spells there was a there was just fall control and then there was the silent footstep one I forget the hot hush yeah never use it so you don't remember the name but exactly the spook just combines the two it's super useful the bad part is spook lasts like three seconds when in Dark Souls one fall control lasts you think the last time I cast is still going three years ago something like that anyway earlier I picked up the easterners ashes I kind of glanced over that but those will allow me to buy large titanite shards to upgrade my weapon even further and we have some time for some donations while we're on this elevator all right we have a $10 donation from Sadie the dog I'm a dog so I don't know what is happening but my family has been watching sgdq four days now thank you for making them happy I'm Cyclops boy donates $1,000 Cyclops boy that for that one saying a long time watcher long time donator Dark Souls 3 has been a massive part of the speedrunning community since it came out so I just had to donate during this run shoutouts to shoutouts and bubbles on the couch you know some in put all this to the breath of the wild what's the progress on breath the wilds no stress we are just a little over 2000 away from meeting it oh nice very close there's one hot boa get it one more good donation all right so we are right next to the next boss so since we're in a Dark Souls 1 area we're going to face a Dark Souls one boss mmm for the most part at least yeah for a portion of the body it is the same boss and we're gonna go ahead and get our setup before we go in here so this is aldrich devourer of gods or at least the bottom little worm part of them is aldrich the top part is actually Gwendolyn who was a boss in Dark Souls 1 this fight can actually kind of suck so it definitely can but it won't it's fine Gwendolyn is he's my friend anyway he'll he likes to teleport all around face - all right cool so when attacking him hitting him in the in the gwyndolin here does a little bit more damage so we're able to take him down pretty quick we only got one teleport that was a really good fight yeah you can get super screwed go right in the corner and there could be the rain of areas that's one attack that we never want to see him do if in Phase two at least if he does an arrow attack he'll fire a bunch of arrow magic arrows up into the sky and they chase you for 10 to 15 seconds and if you get caught in them they kill you in about a nanosecond something like that yeah yeah sounds about right an entire narrow of a second that might be too long actually it's faster than that all right so we're running out of places to go we went up and now we're going down down to our next boss which will be your the Giant and for the time being we have time for I think two donations yeah well yeah until we use this item here but yeah we got time for one or two yeah all right $200 from dr. Aisha two three five saying running through areas and not fighting enemies was always my main Dark Soul strategy so I'll pretend that I was just intentionally speed running the whole time instead of fleeing in constant Nanak thanks for another awesome gdq and then $200 from pearl el saying thank you for all this awesome week I had not many hours of sleep this last week but it was all worth it it's always worth it for GD Cael I've always enjoyed it so these are the crow quills when you combine them with spook you become unkillable during a fall thanks dark souls that is the best glitch ever it's super cool the animation for it and as long as the animation is as started before you got off the cliff then you yeah you just you're still doing it when you're landing technically and there won't hurt the best part is it's super easy all you have to do is spam l2 yep so I hope you guys liked watching me jump off a larger area and spamming l2 before cuz we're gonna do it in one more moment we need that stretch out gesture this stretch out gesture is great that's uh that's Gilligan from Dark Souls 2 or something like that I think the guy you get that uh let's stretch out gesture from but mainly I grab the the undead bone shard because I'd like Maestas to be a plus-one at least this fire sucks so much yeah it can it can hit you when you think it's not going to it's it's rough sometimes alright so I'm going to equip slightly less equip load because we're gonna grab another weapon I hope everyone's excited for another sword this one is specifically or yourn Oh we've seen this one before hey it's your the giant so this guy looks intimidating but he's actually probably one of the easiest bosses in the speedrun unless bad luck happens anyway shoutouts to demon souls well we got the storm roller your what are you doing sir that's a pillar that is not me yeah you definitely don't want you want to do weird stuff because yeah when your does weird stuff it becomes hard to tell what I should do to fight him so when he got locked on that pillar that was uh alright so the main thing we want to do is bait out that little slam attack headshot because it lets you do that to them and you're actually the only enemy in the entire game that this giant wind blast works on you'd think it would work on you know a peasant or something like that nope just your arm anyway by walking like this we're able to beat out that attack and give us time to charge up for another weapon art that was close if he would have been able to get further into that animation he might have your MS really weird and sometimes even when you hit him with the the weapon art somehow he doesn't get hit by the weapon art would you calm down geez why your munch on a Salwa we've got the time delicious all right so we may have finished one boss but we're going right into another we're being automatically teleported to the next boss arena which well we've seen it before yeah when you after a certain number of bosses you get teleported right here directly where you fight dancer and then the answer will lead you to the following area again and that's really nice to abuse so you don't have to use the homeward bone or anything specifically it's after you kill the other lords of cinder ya lords you're the abyss Watchers and aldrich so this is the answer she is one of the tougher bosses in the game so I'm gonna be extra careful not to get grabbed because that grab will kill me in one hit all right phase two beyblade literate oh I love him I love face Dale she's just fidgeting around so normally I would be right inside of that spin to kill her during it but I wanted to be a little bit safe and hey that was a perfect answer how lovely hey it's lothric castle yep we're a moth our Castle leads us to the end of the game but we're only maybe halfway through all the bosses we've got wait a few more to finish off and I've been debating with myself whether or not I would do a peach strat and for anyone that doesn't know peach means you are you are a failure and you're taking the safe way out I'm a failure and taking the safe way out I'm gonna teleport back to the Firelink shrine and use a few of these souls so in the meantime let's have a donation or two to distract from my horrible failure all right I just want to say that we have met the zelda breath of a wild donation that took no time at all yeah nobody saw that coming here we have $150 from anonymous with a comment saying no comment my brain yeah it's getting some health and endurance mainly I just want to use these souls because the next boss coming up is actually very very dangerous and rng base and no matter how good you are you will die too this boss if you're a little bit unlucky also the games gonna crash so uh that'll be fun bono nobody's gonna question that okay fine I'll explain it anyway and it's gonna be your fault gonna crash because Dark Souls 3 is very well programmed and for some reason when DLC the DLCs got added when you go through the game fast enough I don't know if it's like a memory leak or what what it what it is but the game will eventually come to a point where maybe it didn't deal owed the DLC stuff properly or whatever but it it's going to crash soon enough I grabbed that s discharge so we could have just another hit of Estes later we're gonna grab that chunk so we can upgrade a little bit more oh by the way this area is like super dangerous because of these guys those weird snake monster guys because they can one of them can knock you down and then another can come over while you're knocked down and just be ready to hit you down again and I've been volleyball between them to death a few times before hey there we go Dark Souls 3 stopped working we did it surprisingly enough windows did not find an answer to the problem all right all right we're good it closed so whenever Dark Souls crashes it gets real angry at me and it has to write in its diary about all the bad things I did to it so we got a minute for a donation or two all right two hundred dollars from duct tape saying the Dark Souls 3 speed run has taught me that I've been playing games run the game wrong since the beginning we have a 200 dollar donation from Corey tea with no comment and we have a 15 dollar donation from Doc nee I think I pronounced that right I had to donate for my first time during my favorite game ever right narrow and dark souls 3 this game took me 100 hours to finish on my first playthrough and seeing Thor W completely destroy this game in 1 hour or so blows my mind good luck Thor and all the other runners here - breath of the wild yes your knitting deserves a big round of applause hey so um while I was running to this area I was specifically pausing at certain areas because anytime you pause and unpause the game it'll save your position so we didn't have a very long to go this is osiris the worst boss in the game oh I'm sorry the consumed King I read that wrong it has the best dialogue among any boss probably that's true anyway he's going to vape really hard look at that dank of a we get it Osiris ah come on I'm surprised we're still in phase one transform there we go so phase two is when Osiris becomes the worst also hot he's gonna charge okay so he has an attack we affectionately call the instant charge that he can do at any time it has no startup his entire body is the hitbox it does a lot of damage and it can just come out of nowhere oh nice stuff that okami spin come on there we go wonderful I got to tell you that is the boss I was dreading the most cuz even even earlier today in practice when I was doing a little bit of boss practice Osiris went into Phase two stared me in the face and decided to charge at me seven times in a row and ruined my life glad he didn't do it here that was very nice of him alright so we're gonna grab this gesture it's going to uh kind of allow us to go places magic places oops alright we've got time for another couple donations while we just warp around alright we have $10 from Emily nyan yo Thor Emily here I couldn't resist donating there's thousands of messages waiting for you when you get back from your run make sure Maria I mean uh Freddy gets back to blood-borne half this donation goes to runners choice half two bubbles choice with one hundred fifty dollars for an anonymous saying I just want the sunlight metal coin but may as well enter for everything shoutouts to shoutouts yo sub shoutouts shoutouts is awesome we have two hundred dollars from anonymous saying I've watched a ton of gdq footage on youtube but this is my first time catching it live very excited to tune in just time for Dark Souls 3 all bosses run praise the Sun hey praise the Sun some see some let's see was it backslash lowercase o forward slash in the chat let's praise the Sun is it yeah he's got the arms up near anyway we're gonna take a break this runs hard oh never mind I guess we're going places so um specifically that that gesture the path of the Dragon after Osiris teleports us to this next secret area in the game and you do actually get really good hints that this is a place you can go you get that enemy out there that leads you here and welcome to arch dragon Pete yeah this is the home of my favorite NPC by the way on textured Rock hello on total your rock yeah flat front textured rock I love on textured a must be friends with untextured Dornier Wallner exactly on textured rock gives me the strength to go on in this dark and brooding world yeah cuz this area tends to drag on Oh was that a pond yes [Laughter] alright time for our next boss so this boss is kind of large dragon I mean a wyvern it's totally a dragon though anyway normally you have to run through a huge gauntlet of enemies and a big area and stuff but despite the fact that he has all this health and everything I'm going to kill him in one attack all right he's a PZ that saves like well over a minute oh yes definitely also I don't have to say hi to change snake who usually kills runs anyway the way that works for anyone that might be wondering like wait that's not supposed to work you're right that boss dies in a plunging attack I mean you you get like a bunch of developer hints across the the boss area that you can run through and eventually it leads to an area above his head that you can jump off of and hit him with a plunging attack but he moves around while you do that and it's possible to miss him so the way that they programmed it was they gave it a really big area above his head really generous area that will just kind of teleport you on top of him because if he missed that attack I mean you fall all the way down they need I and then you have to run through the whole place again and they were kind enough to say that feels really bad unfortunately that also means if you get just a tiny bit above his head with certain jumping attacks like one with a short sword it'll lash it'll latch you right on to it and count as a plunging attack also hey it's the boss again magical weird how they just reused the boss like just a short run from the from the boss arena alright so we've got just a bit more running to do so I think now's a great time for more donations all right we have two hundred dollars from anonymous saying thank you for showing me how to play Dark Souls the right way praise the Sun we have $500 for anonymous again [Music] saying loving the dark souls run and commentary anonymous has deep pockets dang he's got another $200 saying praise the Sun oh good he ran off the edge how nice so we just picked up the dragon chases ashes this is gonna let me buy tight night chunks and now that we have a bunch of souls I think you have an idea of where we're going let's go ahead and sell all this we're gonna and this is our final upgrade point oh whoops what am i doing i buy the stuff I might need to buy them first and you know just just a couple cars this Rouge unit 21 21 all right so we're we're gonna plus 9 this we don't get a slab 2 plus 10 it even though we could in arch dragon because honestly it's not worth it the amount of time it takes to go run past have all the rock and grab the slab and everything like that doesn't quite save as much time as you would think it would so we're fine with a plus 9 weapon and now it's time to go to a lot of people's favorite boss to watch being speedrun pls parameter dear shields coming in handy again yeah once more that starting shield it's got that slower animation and it's good because you start off with a rapier as well and they typically intend for that character to be a very very focused and like a striker kind of enemy or class right so you might notice this place looks a tiny itsy-bitsy familiar if you remember I don't know an hour ago you're something close to that so this is Dark Souls 3 this is Thor W hey welcome to the run and we were going up against IO text under here yep so um it's just a tiny bit darker though anyway this is untended graves I believe it's supposed to be how come on now why you got to hit me like that I believe it's supposed to be like in the past before a good ear got corrupted by the abyss anyway he's going to get parried once or twice or you know however many times it takes sir please here he comes Hey [Applause] so the strategy there is actually super precise to make sure that he doesn't get a chance to actually do much of anything in phase 2 because champion good deer in phase 2 is terrifying to fight he is really fast and he never stops attacking ever ever so luckily we we set it up specifically so that once he enters phase - he's already almost dead and with one more bleed proc after a parry like we did like I got he is finished off so we're back in near Nephila cuz our next boss is old demon king but Thor wait old demon Kings down in the scorched lake I know I know but but Ural is the path to victory ok please sir why why okay I'm getting just a tiny bit rekt please all right jeez this guy's a pro [Applause] Wow that way that was some amazing play by him I mean never before have I seen that anyway there we go yeah as you may recall down here almost done we we saw a couple of things earlier and that red glow means that somebody is at home specifically old demon king oh I forgot to equip this oh wow we're good so old demon king we're going to Oh everything's lagging we're gonna be using pale pine resin because he can't be bled because he's like made of rock or something even though you clearly see blood coming out of him when I attack we got a little bit unlucky there and he actually started with a very quick fire attack and got an attack off [Applause] but hey we did it together together so hey we've got time for a donation or two while we run to the next boss we have one thousand dollars from flying jester hey saying greetings from Alaskan hype for the majora's mask run blue dog is best dog and you also got a ten dollar donation from untextured block saying hello Thor how nice of you to stop by I love you untextured Rock what are you doing after forcing him drop by the way yeah now they're revived he got nervous there's so many people watching I guess so or maybe he wanted to be seen yeah now we're talking about him and he already won I guess so anyway we're gonna do a magic trick and we're gonna make this fire disappear I know it - sounded like I got hit but don't worry about it it's fine so we're actually running to my personal favorite boss of Dark Souls 3 we're running to Dragon Slayer armor and he just like old demon king he doesn't have flesh and blood so I should really equip this pale pine resin glad I reminded myself of that we got time for one more donation real quick we have $5 again from untextured Rock saying I love you to thorn untextured Rock is is my rock he's the best we have another $150 from real BK saying praise the puns alright so pale pine resin for this guy again I really love dragon slayer armor because he's that just a big suit of armor with a big weapon in a shield and cool electricity yes boss is super badass oh don't hit me hey good fighter [Applause] so we didn't really get to see it but once phase 2 starts outside of the arena there are these two really big they're called pilgrim butterflies and they sit outside the arena and shoot lots of magic at you while you fight the guy which is really really cool of them glad they didn't get a chance to do anything sick menuing the best anyway we've got time for a couple donations this is a pretty long run to the next boss alright we have $150 from anonymous simply sing hi anonymous and we have a $5,000 donation Juan's time he says one more donation to enter the race for some Dark Souls loot and since we're dealing with the game about the undead and shattering the players hopes and dreams let's have this fate happen to be the party in earthbound with a shattered man glitch oh and of course praise the Sun we have $50.00 mannan ominous saying delightful and witty comment commending the event and the runners something about praising of Suns that was a delightfully witty comment good job and we have $20 from Lexie 50 saying Thor got so good that the game crashed I've ever seen Dark Souls give up in frustration before praise the Sun and praise the runners so when his game crashes he's good I see how it is yeah that's how it is I'm sorry it's a double standard yeah more donations alright and we have $200 from as Mun as Munder Gundersen I think I got that right saying another great gdq event huge thanks to everyone who helps makes these happen donation goes to runners choice one hundred fifty dollars from anonymous again sing praise the Sun so much Sun praising today so much Sun crazy yeah one hundred dollars from best coach Korea forty six also saying praise the Sun and all the people behind the scenes and the runners have made this possible smiley face I agree can we get can we get some claps for the guys behind the scenes that got all this working power up audio the hosts the interviewers the couch commentary oh that's you that's me anyway we're coming up to the last little bit of this run to the next boss I activated an elevator back there just in case but we'll be fine I've never died to this boss before never and this is actually pretty Demon Souls esque area so shout outs to that game again yeah this is kind of like where that the penetrator would be almost yeah very similar actually and again I'm quitting out at the door normally you don't want to do that on real time but the thing about when you're opening a door and Dark Souls sometimes the enemies will be right behind you and attacking they can actually clip through you during the door opening and be on the other side of the door and then you're surrounded and you you usually die all right time for our next boss so princess can start off with two different forms of an attack it's either an overhead or a slow swing all right that's a good attack so owl really huh it's hard to know when the overheads coming after he teleports because the teleport has like this beam of light and you can't really see the vertical sword I'm gonna take this just a little bit safe since I started off getting hit yeah you're super strong in this fight so sir perhaps have some cool down on your animations there so I'm not getting doing a very good fight here at all it's okay he just punctuated that normally the way this works is you circle straight behind him I'll come on the bat attack jeez he doesn't he does not want to let up the good news is second place sucks oh now second phase is fine hopefully what I had to make the run exciting with that jump so you have to attack both at the same time and that's only possible in the back well the way the way this works is lothric the younger Prince is now sitting on lorian's back as long as lothric is in this fight which is for the rest of it anytime Lorien dies lothric will revive him immediately so we need to take care of lothric for Lorien to be done come on now normally you don't do this fight locked on but it's just a little bit safer to be locked on yeah there you go hey that was not the best but hey we got it we got it we even have time to have a soul snack at least I didn't die that's a good thing yeah that boss is one of the one of the harder ones to get used to in the speedrun we're gonna do a quick little level up and move on to well everyone who's played this game is surely excited for this boss we're moving on to nameless King Oh oooh like the coolest boss in the game for sure definitely want one of the coolest bosses in the game for a long time everyone said that this is the hardest boss in Dark Souls 3 so I'm gonna go ahead and say no yeah this just to be cool definitely not the easiest but uh I guess I'll just you'll see how it goes we'll see how it goes it's gonna go perfect he also babes yeah yeah he vapes the entire arch dragon Pete he rips the fattest babe look at that he also comes in on a chicken dragon he's a chicken dragon because look at it look at the Dragons legs they are so talented chicken II so this is camera boss phase 1 with Stefan ones favorite parcels boss can be really hard to tell if I'm going to hit him with a swing or not yeah like it was all just went right through yep come on well so I'm specifically attacking the the beak of the dragon because with enough attacks on to the beak the dragon will get staggered unfortunately we got that really bad really slow attack it's my fault for missing attacks hey there we go alright now we're going to stab his eye first alright now phase two all right phase one is done time for the real fight whoops I did that intentionally I'm seeding RNG yep so he's actually nameless King is actually a very fair boss in a lot of ways his attacks all have quite a bit of startup to them except for one specific one that one she doesn't do too often yeah a lot of bosses in the steam you don't know when they're gonna do a follow up until you get hit and you can see any time as health takes a big chunk off that's our bleep rock like that one [Applause] bleep rocks make these bosses go down a lot faster than any other strategy so that was a pretty good fight only took one hit we're going to do one last level up because we're about to go to the DLC we're at the last leg of the of the the run and the DLC bosses are just a tiny bit difficult well one of them is the other ones kind of a joke I'll leave it to you to decide which is which so for the time being we've got time for I'd say two donations before I need to explain stuff all right we have $25 from mr. Mars simply saying that's my boy Thor a and we have $10 from untextured door all this love or untextured Rock I feel neglected I'm sorry untextured or we didn't get to see you properly I remembered you that's true so uh like I said we're going to go down to this gross stuff and I'm equipping the crow quills I hope everyone's excited it sounds like it this is actually my favorite crow quills uh use right here cuz we're going to jump very far on this one so uh the boss is right down there how far down there all the way down there so we [Music] okay we hit that branch all right that's always fun so anytime you do that you kind of break the game and the dogs there take a moment to spawn and there's one more dog there he is goodbye dogs rip rip frankerz e so the strategy for fighting champions Grave tender is actually pretty pretty nuanced I lock on to him and I spam l1 until he stops moving that starts those three Wow not even close man however I would appreciate if he wouldn't roll so much okay here's the other boss because we got to have two bosses SIF what's up dude he's missing his toothpick his first kind of dirty the Bison are a good job I'm actually really surprised that the the great wolf there didn't do some different attacks usually he likes to charge at you maybe do a big uppercut strike with his head but he was really tamed that time I'm a little disappointed actually all right it's time to fight the hardest boss in the run in my opinion oh look a big square I wonder if this is a boss arena oh look a giant thing so yeah time to fight the hard boss not that guy this young lady here sister Frieda I mean Maria from blood-borne hi Maria what's up so anytime she puts her scythe behind her head like that she actually will tend to try to counter-attack you when you go for a hit and she'll swing it darn near perfect timing anytime that she's like that or she'll just poise right through it you know she's wearing robes she's got poise all right good phase one so you know Ornstein and SMO here so this guy is really mad about something I think he I think he thinks I want to take his soup bowl but not really all right really good phase two yeah we did it the boss is dead kinda I mean usually the boss is dead but I mean we've got some dialog to go through and a zombie to kill so someone it from self had the awesome idea to make Anna Mae look at that and specifically to make a three phase boss and sister Frieda and Phase three is a very difficult boss to do properly alright she's going to go ahead and shoot some ice at me I'll just let it happen you activated her trap card because I get a free backstab when she does that yeah so why not are we gonna have any seven hit combos no we're just gonna have more ice and more backstabs I love backstabs so that was a really good fight that was actually an incredibly good fight she was really nice to me compliments the good run oh thank you yeah all right so we're heading towards the last boss now so we need to offer the cinders of the Lord on to every one of these empty Thrones because that's what that's what the whole journey has been about we have to go kill the Lords of cinder and then take their heads souls their cinders I don't know it's it it's convoluted doesn't like a bit of an animation cancel you can get here if you can place it as you're falling similar to the gold pine resin pick up way earlier in the run yeah unfortunately it's a little difficult I got that one nice saved like three seconds or so yeah saves a few seconds all right time to teleport to the last area and it's actually interesting if I use a homeward bone here it's gonna teleport me not back to the last bonfire I use but to the next bonfire neat all right we have time for one good donation all right we have $150 from anonymous saying great to see a game that has broken me be broken instead feels good man yeah anonymous I agree entirely so this is the kiln of the first flame looks a little different than it did in Dark Souls 1 but this is where we're gonna fight the last boss and the last boss the soul of cinder is actually really cool he is the combination of everyone that's ever linked the flame in phase 1 which means that he is able to use multiple different weapons and weapon stances and stuff he always starts with this sword hopefully he won't change to the curved sword or anything who the double yeah this time you guys get to see that he attacks this boss I'd like to call him the sole of input reading because what I'm doing is I'm manipulating his AI just a little bit by holding different directions when he goes to decide what to do generally I hold back and it keeps him from doing the up close attacks like that firm swords not gonna get a chance no yeah no all right very good yeah that Dex phase it's terrible alright so chat please throw some bible thump sin chat because it's gwyn let's quit my Dark Souls 1 memories that's kind of a tighter roll than it looks like there let's just be a little safe with the heel yeah this guy could have killed me in like one more good hit but we are done we did it never mind he decided he decided to rebuke that mark there we did stretch out stretch on it oh no but we can do this take me to the top oh it didn't take me to the top and that's time well actually time comes just a little are you gonna quit out first yeah we have to do okay you want to do that which means just a moment longer really anticlimactic time yeah solid runs pretty solid it's not bad actually yeah that was definitely deathless Dark Souls 3 rodebush Dark Souls right yeah give it up for him again that was really really gonna do yeah we did it we did it Dark Souls 3 the hardest game ever made ever ever this is the Dark Souls 3 of the Dark Souls games what was my final time by the way it was 127 47 oh wow that's really good yeah well anyway I won't give a couple shoutouts first off shout out to all the people that calmed down my nerves before this run I was a bundle of nerves I'm still shaking they gave me a lot of words of encouragement the speed Souls community my twitch chat all those guys thank you so much shoutouts to my family for supporting me and what I do and shoutouts to the gdq staff for having me here and helping me set up everything I had a great time being here that was Dark Souls 3
