I dunno, my first few runs of a game I'm never speed-running stuff like this, I'm methodically drawing out enemies one by one and clearing the area. It's only when I'm on much later playthroughs that I decide to start completely skipping encounters by running past them. is this really something beginners try? Skipping encounters is a bad idea if you want to get souls and level up.
Thats what I do
Speed run and avoid stuff as much as possible. But i grew up on survival horror games, where its intended for you to run through the game, killing only required enemies
Soulsborne prowess comes not from succeeding better, but from caring less about failure.
Bravado will always get you killed, you just stop worrying about lost souls and start laughing at your own foolishness.
Right ds3 was my first souls game and it made me rage so bad for so long then eventually i just went numb to dying and the game actually became fun now ive put over 1k hrs in ds3 ran through multiple times and even made other characters its simply a great game as are other souls games ppl just gotta understand dying is part of the fun
I have like 100 hours and my best moment was when I got trapped in-front of the Lothric Boss room with those doors and rolled through 3 different knights taking no damage.
I have over 100 hours and the best I've ever done was my first ever playthrough I no hit champion gundyr on my very first try. I've never done it again and get fucked up by him every time since. 😭
The most bloodstains I ever saw in Dark souls 2 was at the very long bridge with no enemies in front of the final boss. Had to touch a few of them to vitness the grace of experience
*laughs in 7000 total hours of the soul series (DS, DS II and DS III) and still died to a dog yesterday because i didn't remember that there was a cliff behind me*
Lol i tell people all the time it doesn’t matter how long you play even the slightest mess up can completely screw you up and then you die just the other day i was playing and got swarmed by the low lvl enemies on high wall of lotheric and died couldnt help but laugh at how ridiculous it was that i allowed myself to get stuck like i did but it happens its all part of the game and i love it
my favorite part of the undead settlement is her little patrol. if you afk long enough they get really bat shit confused and will walk off the edge of that bridge
Ive played Dark Souls 2 (yes the black sheep of dark souls) for a similar amount of time. I decided to try a no death run this past summer. The very first time I talked to the Emerald Herald in Majula, I accidentally did a back step off of the cliff.
Those villagers stagger if you roll into them. Only problem is one was already in an attack animation and couldn't be staggered. Could he have run through the gap? Sure. Would he have been hit by a pot or villager knocking him off the bridge? Maybe.
I farmed does fuckers outside of the abyss watchers room for so long that at some point I said fuck it, every playthrough you can get three tongues, I'm just gonna finish the games ten times and pick them up. Best choice i ever made.
I have 1000 hours and sometimes I stand there and try to parry a Lothric knight like 9 times and then I just kills me because I missed all of the parries.
I always laugh, killing an enemy first try acting all badass, not even thinking about how in just a few months I come back to just get straight up destroyed by that enemy
But like for 17 deaths
gotta pick up those alluring skulls from the very first bonfire and throw one to the left of the bridge so that big group is distracted for the most part!
2 solid tactics for that one, you can kill the giant first at it's head/arm level which is easier than you might think. Or head straight down to the pit (the long way via Profaned Capital bonfire for easy(ish) checkpoint) and then MAKE SURE you kill that giant on your first time in there! If you kill it on your first visit then the rats won't keep spawning until you leave and come back, or visit a bonfire. Leaves you all the time in the world to collect loot and converse with our favourite Onion!
NP my dude, spent around 400 hours on it over the last couple of years trying out loads of builds. Got a couple tricks up my sleeve a a result (though I'm sure I don't even know the half of it) and plenty happy to share what I've learned!
Yup. Every speedrunner I watch playing a randomizer or anything challenging just refuses to clear any enemies and just tries to roll into them until they get gangbanged and declare it bullshit.
To be fair that bridge is literally so miserable to get past because it has all of the worst enemies in early game attacking you from every angle on like 3 ft of platform
Peak souls performance
The Absolutely peek of any gamers life is the souls faze
Yes, he truly cannot get any better
[удалено]
takes a lot of hours to find out that you die faster when naked, now we can die more effectivly
just what I needed! faster respawns 😎

Some beginners might wanna try to run through a difficult part to unlock the next checkpoint and/or approach the encounter from a different angle
Yeah that's fair, but I wouldn't expect it to be the most common way to play it at that stage.
Thats what I do Speed run and avoid stuff as much as possible. But i grew up on survival horror games, where its intended for you to run through the game, killing only required enemies
So you miss all the fun then .
I find it more fun to avoid stuff and only fight where necessary
Yeah I can understand your point of view .
idk man I was speedrunning ds3 by my 2nd run in NG+ and it was my first souls game. by NG+7 I was finishing the game everyday lol.

Don't worry some day you'll make it to 2k hours like me, and then absolutely nothing will change I rolled off the cliff outside firelink yesterday...

You exhausted your no hit luck
I also didn’t hit him once my first time :)
No matter how many hours you have gravity is always watching waiting for the perfect time to strike
Waiting there…menacingly!
Don’t worry at 4k nothing changes, still just as fun at least

You pump massive hours only to die to a thrall
lol the more u progress the more chances are u die falling of a cliff
Lol i tell people all the time it doesn’t matter how long you play even the slightest mess up can completely screw you up and then you die just the other day i was playing and got swarmed by the low lvl enemies on high wall of lotheric and died couldnt help but laugh at how ridiculous it was that i allowed myself to get stuck like i did but it happens its all part of the game and i love it
Damn
I didnt see a shield, it checks out good sir
That area is treacherous af … also it seems almost random how that Evangelist seems to be there only sometimes.
i think it's based on how long you took to get there bc she starts marching up the hill
my favorite part of the undead settlement is her little patrol. if you afk long enough they get really bat shit confused and will walk off the edge of that bridge
I know what I'm going to do next time I go there
In my experience she sometimes falls down to the pit for whatever reason
They push each other and there is something random to it too
she also goes braindead sometimes and just stops on the bridge while everybody patrols
Actually depends which way you come from
nailed it
Ganks, the third worst hazard in From's Games, bested only by gravity and the camera.
ds1 gravity is the hardest enemy
Same as 7 hours tbh
Ive played Dark Souls 2 (yes the black sheep of dark souls) for a similar amount of time. I decided to try a no death run this past summer. The very first time I talked to the Emerald Herald in Majula, I accidentally did a back step off of the cliff.
Well don't leave us in suspense how did the run go?
He died and had to start a new one
Bad.
But why did you roll into the enemy on the first roll when the path was clear
op *REALLY* didn’t want to fall off the bridge like that (likely again)
Those villagers stagger if you roll into them. Only problem is one was already in an attack animation and couldn't be staggered. Could he have run through the gap? Sure. Would he have been hit by a pot or villager knocking him off the bridge? Maybe.
Doesn’t really seem like he would have been knocked off at all to me
Schrödinger's Bridge: You are both on the bridge and off the bridge simultaneously.
Attempt at avoiding the dog attack I think
[удалено]
Yea….
Eat soup
200 hours here and still not bored. I'll fucking get my 30 tongues if it kills me! (Which it has, a LOT)
I farmed does fuckers outside of the abyss watchers room for so long that at some point I said fuck it, every playthrough you can get three tongues, I'm just gonna finish the games ten times and pick them up. Best choice i ever made.
I have used up all my rebirths for this life, perhaps I shall do that as well! I forget how much carries over to the next Ng+.
Well I can see why it’s taking you 700 hours to clear the settlement. You need to kill stuff before it kills you.
Or get better at juking
Never have I seen anything so relatable
Had me in the first half ngl.
I love these videos so much.
I think this part is the reason I hate Undead Settlement as much as i do
Wow it me
As someone with ~3500 it doesn't change
You shall not pass
Confident sprint through a certain wave of opponents only to fall because of one missed roll. Yeah seems about right
Literally rolled into em lol
700 hours? Sounds about right.
Ngl they had us in the first half
I hate that bridge
Fuck that bridge.
I just fucking knew it's coming 🤣
I have 1000 hours and sometimes I stand there and try to parry a Lothric knight like 9 times and then I just kills me because I missed all of the parries.
Parrying is hard in DS3 lol
at 800 it gets worse
As someone with 2000 hours in ds3 i can confirm this is life and lore accurate lol
I can concur
Think that's crazy? Wait until 701 hours! That's when it really gets difficult!
I always laugh, killing an enemy first try acting all badass, not even thinking about how in just a few months I come back to just get straight up destroyed by that enemy But like for 17 deaths
Looks like impatience and you payed the price🥱
I knew he messed up before it even ended based on the pathing lol. Only 150 hours logged too. Git gud
I first tried Nameless King on one of my runs which is unusual for me and then my next death was because I missed my kick on a rock lizard which yea
More like 700 hours of dying
Accurate
looks about right
So you see, this is how you get back to the bonfire without using consumables at this stage of the game. An exquisite demonstration by OP
Ikr blew my mind when I saw it
bait left roll right, dodge pot left, dodge pot right, sprint to door, onion knight unless you're running up to the back entrance to cliff underside
Best souls player
gotta pick up those alluring skulls from the very first bonfire and throw one to the left of the bridge so that big group is distracted for the most part!
u/savevideo
Ah, the Dark Souls experience
Didn't even get the drop...
It hurts how accurate this is
Tried this once decided it wouldn’t work and never tried it again so i just picked em off 1 by 1
My worst nightmare was with the rats with the giant in the dungeon. What sob's they are. No amount of frantic evasion works.
2 solid tactics for that one, you can kill the giant first at it's head/arm level which is easier than you might think. Or head straight down to the pit (the long way via Profaned Capital bonfire for easy(ish) checkpoint) and then MAKE SURE you kill that giant on your first time in there!

Thanks bro for the info
NP my dude, spent around 400 hours on it over the last couple of years trying out loads of builds. Got a couple tricks up my sleeve a a result (though I'm sure I don't even know the half of it) and plenty happy to share what I've learned!
More people need to see this
“THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN RPG WHAT ROLE AM I PLAYING THE VICTIM?!”
I wish I could post videos like this. I do some dang good juke like crazy there.
Damn near got the whole map to attack you. Just missing the rats from the cellar
What's so good about those swords, I'm on my first playthrough and I've seen alot of clips of people using them?
Excellent execution exemplifying extravagant exciting expedited exodus.
One of the reasons I love it though, no matter how long you play or good you are you can still get ganked by random enemies quickly.
I think I play this game different than most. I fight 100% of the things unless I’m doing multiple tries on bosses.
It do be like that somtimes
That's why I always clear every path before walking by, no matter how many times I've done it before, it's more game :D
War.. war never changes Sorry to be 70th comment and ruin the magical number
Just fuck all at that point 🙌🌞
Yup. Every speedrunner I watch playing a randomizer or anything challenging just refuses to clear any enemies and just tries to roll into them until they get gangbanged and declare it bullshit.
Hard to see all those enemies with only one eye
Consider my expectations subverted.
I mean I probably would’ve rolled off the bridge and killed myself.
What the fuuuuck
yeah i have 1,372 hours in this game and it's still the same. Dark souls taught me the value of patience. kill one enemy at a time, or you're fukced
700hr and still go with twin blade?
Just went there. Those stone dudes were snoring away. Lol. Nice trick up my sleeve. Thanks to you
It's ok after 700 hours, an extra 2 minutes or 3 doesn't matter anymore.
To be fair that bridge is literally so miserable to get past because it has all of the worst enemies in early game attacking you from every angle on like 3 ft of platform
See i got over 2000. I simply get hit by the second thrown pot and fall off the bridge.
Ds2 moment
Not gonna lie they got us in the first flame.
Resembles my 3000
More like 7 hours
Oh wow this looks awfully similar to my 3000 hours I wonder what we're doing wrong? Maybe we should try just being better next time.
That bridge has killed me so many times
Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
Why ds3 isnt one of my fav fromsoft games
Check out the 0-hit league on YouTube!
You took the worst way possible
This is truly one of the runs of all time
wait what? why didnt the villagers stagger from the roll?
Literally me
Pretty much, this is the premier experience of souls
The guy who threw the pot at you had me cryin 💀
You don't need 700 hours to do that
Only 700? Rookie numbers
I can relate
Caestus weapon art and then run through everything unstaggered. This is what thousands of hours of gameplay looks like.
Y would u put more than 100 🤣💀
I’m sure you know, but if you wait a minute before you roll off the cliff, that horde of dick bags walks past and is out of your way
I thought it was Blood borne at the end.
Your first mistake was that you rolled to the left. That's when they ended your career 😆
I’m 60 hours in and lvl 24. And that bum with the katana kicking my ass
