I don't really think its that great of an upgrade route, you'd get much better results from a regular or raw infusion and a magic weapon sorcery for damage. Enchanting it is pretty weak in my opinion.

Haha on the contrary, I didn't get hurt enough and I'm trying to fix it. Praise the sun indeed \[T]/

Also for the tailcut you could've used the Blacksmith Giant Hammer (high lightning damage) since you have the stats to 2-hand it. If you upgrade it to max using the Weapon Smithbox (bought from Andre at the beginning). A jumping 2-handed attack + a light 2-handed attack should've been enough, or maybe 2 heavies.

@@UnNormieCualquiera Thanks for the tips! I'll keep them in mind for future runs. I didn't even consider the Giant Blacksmith's Hammer to be honest.

@@dinadanplays Don't worry most people forget because they don't have a reason to. It's also pretty sad to kill the poor guy to get it.

I mean sure, in a practical sense it really doesn't make that much of a difference though, unless you are actively trying to one shot everything. With this amount of damage it'll likely save you 1 hit at most, which in the grand scheme of things ain't much.

@@dinadanplays i agree, but i never see people do it, so i was kinda paranoid that maybe no one knew...

@@normanderi I'm sure there are some who don't know for sure, you aren't crazy haha

Unfortunately the Halberd requires 12 Dex and the Knight starts with 11, that's why I opted for the lightning spear. That and Seath's weakness to lightning.

I probably should have, at the time I was already thinking of other solutions and I didn't think of the most obvious one it seems lol. Thanks

Hahaha that seems like a nightmare, specially if you aren't used to fighting O&S at a low level

Depends on a few factors. For this case I was using the Knights base vitality which is at 14 and using the Ring of Favour and Protection so thats an extra 20%. Some other classes and without the ring it actually might be a full heal at +3.

Thank you for the support! It means a lot. I hope to keep improving the content as time goes on and I get more experience.

crow bc i like crows

I'd be a magpie. I refuse to elaborate as to why. I'd rather be a fox though but you constrained it to just birds.

​@@dinadanplaysravens are my favorite. I guess corvids are popular as crows, ravens, and magpies are all corvids

Haha I'm glad you enjoy! I'm not gonna put you through the torture of Blighttown though... not yet at least.

ok that one was actually funny

Praise the sun brother!

hes better then you

@@leoswann578 dude, it's a joke, I'm not here to offend the poor guy...

Yeah, I'm glad I picked the residence key just in case but i seemed to recall not being able to open it before even with the masters key so I didn't want to risk it.

Haha i absolutely could have but I'm to lazy to farm them or the souls to buy them. I also found the bloodloss to make it more interesting.

Lol, I'm still not great at it though. Takes me a couple of tries to get the feeling for it back.

Yeah, as my first run I didn't really outline the rules properly but I wanted to do as little sequence breaking as possible. I only allowed the drop to lower undead burg to at least have a chance with the damage in the early game.

I actually have never tried the remaster and sure as hell am not gonna buy it full price having the PTD edition already.

@@dinadanplays ohh. I thought the original had some sort of mechanics. Hopefully it goes on sale soon. Love the vids bro

@@oasisboi Lol not really , I do acknowledge the remaster is better but maybe when I hit a sub milestone I'll do something with the remaster.

Haha I see we have a fellow enjoyer of great sights.

Correct, I even considered it just to plunge the Asylum Demon with a maxed out weapon, but I tend to like glitchless runs a bit more personally so although I could I prefer not to. You are absolutely correct in that everyone but Priscilla herself could be skipped.

Yep, as far as I'm aware, the route would basically be Capra Skip to get Large Ember, Sens Skip, Golem Skip (Made a little easier by O&S being Mandatory after Painted World [Bone becomes Anor Londo Bonfire on exit], so you can use the Sens Bonfire), with a few small detours along the way to grab the base weapon and upgrade it to +10 (or +14 if you'd rather grind Dark Wraiths than boss attempts)

Would definitely make it harder because you wouldn't be able to upgrade past +5 though EDIT: totally forgot you need a +10 to get boss weapons! My bad lol

Unfortunately yeah, the large ember is very cleverly placed there

Always gotta stop for a second for it at least lol

One of my top three game series 1st is Dragon quest, 2nd is Dark souls, 3rd is Doom, Top tier games that I have sunk 10s of thousands of hours, kinda weird coincidence that my favourites all start with the letter D lol 😅

If you love watching it a playing it maybe one day you'll be doing these challenge runs yourself! That's how it happened to me at least lol

nah you cant kill priscilla other you can bug and dont kill them

@@szymonmiaskowski5409 Oh, ok. Makes sense. I just got so accustomed to playing in some NG+ cycle while I was making my completionist character also have all DLC stuff, that I forgot that the game doesnt start with your character being in possession of each and every item in the game 😅

Yeah, starting fresh and with no glitches allowed you do kindda need to kill several bosses to get it.

Thank you! I really appreciate the support!

If I recall correctly as far as you die inside that room you are all good, don't even need to be killed by Seath. Very useful if like me you are terrified of curse from the original days of DS1.

Thanks! Yeah I wanted to deviate from the Straight Sword Hilt only run since that has already been done plenty I think. Thanks for the feedback as well! I'm still learning about video editing so now I know what to keep in mind.

I appreciate so much the opportunity! Unfortunately I never really played much more than the tutorial for DS2 so I'm not sure I'm the best fit for this one.

@@dinadanplays sorry about the late response I switched it to bloodborne for the run because I found out that the Backlogs was already doing it. If your more experienced in that game and want to join let me know, Thank you

i do like speak Chinese in english comment sections too

And I like you random citizen!

The true Dark Souls experience

It should have been! I absolutely could have used a riposte on the left hand for this run for sure.

Ohhh is that so? I'll have to try that next time then. Thanks for the tip!

I hope you enjoyed and for sure I will be posting more in the future!

It was absolutely mental! I actually saw some of the runs as the contestants posted them and was awaiting so eagerly the final video! Those guys are absolute madlads and I'm glad I got to see them perform such an insanely difficult run.

They are mad lads. Was really interesting how early game they all did different things but by end they had same idea.

@@scottt7309 Totally agree! Very interesting to see the different approaches and strats they started with.

Ahhhh I thought it was supposed to be the silver tracer, that's why I leveled up that one! I knew I was missing something when it had the same moveset but thought that maybe I needed to wield the other as well to unlock the powerstance moveset. Thanks for letting me know!

​@@dinadanplays happens the same to me always, the fact that is gold I assume it is the important blade out of the two cause, you know, gold and silver, and also the fact that someone would assume that the curved sword would be used in right hand, as where the dagger would in the left hand for quick attacks and parry, this is even more confusing when you see that the gold tracer has more parry damage, like if it was supposed to be used in the right hand, but the games says "no" and throws all that logic to the garbage, tho I think the most optimal way to use both weapons is by changing them when neccesary both in each slot of the right hand, they could have added this weapon on ds2 to promove the use of power stancing but they also said no to it

@@Sin-Nombre04 Yes! It's almost like they wanted to be interchangeable so they added details to make them useful no matter which hand you use, but in doing so they eclipsed the identity of the weapons in a way, and made it more confusing.

Thank you! I did take it into consideration, but I did have to consider what I had available at each point and most importantly which way would streamline the run the most. Unfortunately I did want to leave the upgrades with highest scaling for the end and that meant using the previous infusions in a not very optimal way. Thanks for your insight!

For most folks its easy to forget almost every game is tailored for right handed players. I hope you enjoy my other runs even if they are not specifically for lefties.

@@dinadanplays I shall.

As a lefty ds2 is the superior souls game

@@bronysaiyan5236 You damn right it is. 😏

@@phillipcraig1120 laughs in Majestic Greatsword

I hope I one day get a comment from Lemon from the Backlogs, JKLeeds or PressContinue! They are my inspiration to have started Challenge running. Personally the first challenge run I ever tried was Miracles only. I feel its fairly forgiving but at the same time gives you some pretty interesting restrictions. Just be sure to plan ahead and not mess up Siegwards quest for that sweet emit force.

@@dinadanplays i see them quite often on smaller audiences, the community is so involved with stuff like that - guarantee itll happen if you stick to it!

Thank you so much! Amazing name btw haha

Thank you! I appreciate the support!

Oh boy, this it too sudden. I need to think about it.

I agree, but after beating the game so many times I simply change it up from time to time to spice things up.

Me caveman. Me not understand cycle of death and rebirth. Me just like fire, big fire! Big fire make me happy

I can't see anything in the age of dark, so yeah
