7:48 I find it personally more weird, that the Master Key can be used to open the upper residence with the 3 gold pine resin, but not to free Griggs. In spite of both residences needing the same key
Yeah the Master Key is somewhat inconsistent imo.
Theoretically, the first door might be a simple lock that opens with the residence key, but the second door is a more complicated lock that requires the residence key.
No idea how locks work but I'm sure there's some way to do it.
@Eshtian Could be possible. It might be a question for LockPickingLawyer to get the best answer, but at a guess it could be that the Parish door has less pins and the residence key matches those pins amd then is the actual key for the house in the lower berg.
@@JBuckley1997 It could be that the master key is a bump-key, and some locks have bump protection while others don't
Master/skeleton keys aren't anything special, its the lock. It is very possible and simple for a key to open a variety of locks that have nothing in common and unable to open any locks associated with each other.
That Harry fellow sure is one magnificent specimen, isn't he? A true unit in a weight class of his own.
I'd like this comment, but... NICE
I wish I looked as spectacular as he does, such a charm and presence!
Hot shrek
I wonder if he has any strong opinions on transgender people
@@jollygrapefruit786tbf Daniel Radcliffe is extremely supportive so I'm sure that this Harry is as well
16:45 “did the asylum demon just one shot me?”
*Has like 8 points in vitality*
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And on ng+🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
27:21 “did I just get one shot by pinwheel?” Still at 8 vitality
Oh ____ he did lol ( not meaning it to hate you JK leeds but it is funny to say you die on pinwheel) @@SneakySamruaiOfDeath
he got one shot by pinwheel with pyromancies... thats like fighting fire with fire and being burnt to ash by a candle
*Arkham demon as he said
What a magical experience!
Fire that you made it through.
A bit of a miracle to be honest.
Underrated
Pun game here is on point
I just gave you a platonic 👍 as not to upset the perfect balance.
The fabled 69 likes
Should have been a Haiku.
A magical show
Pyromancy burns brightly
Miracles unbound
I prefer the miracle run to the sorcery run. It's the difference between trying to get through the day with 100 pistol rounds, or 10 RPG rounds. The former may be easier, but you'll have to make a lot more interesting choices in the latter.
That's a fucking brilliant analogy.
Who are you that you need either of them on a daily basis?
@@anondabombeither a Brazilian or a Floridian.
@@TheSlammurai Not that I think you should limit weapons but Florida is quite peaceful.
The fuck kind of days do you have, I personally don't need any heavy weaponry.
I can't wait to see ng++ after needing so many levels in faith. No doubt you smashed it.
😮
@@dante_dmc3wacky woohoo pizza man?
@@ComeForth. jackpot
I dont remember making this comment
@@dante_dmc3you made it 2 hours ago😭😭😭😭
That NG+ Nito death was amazing.
28:01 if anyone can't find it
a super thank you dark souls moment
I had the exact same thing happened to me twice but with the smelter demon
Believe it or not, you actually _can_ get the Darkmoon Talisman after killing Guinevere. If you go to Oswald and get pardoned, Gwyndolin will actually let you join the Blades of the Darkmoon like nothing happened.
You still can't get it after killing Gwyndolin, though.
Did not know
Lmao, I was almost finished on ng+3 when I thought if Gwyndy will forgive me and just didn't care enough to go check if it'll work.
That and I hate bratty sorcerers who spam magic at you and teleport away when you're close
So gwyndolin is just the worst brother, and ruler😂
@@jean-ulyssecustody8789I mean the Real Gwynevere bailed out of Anor Londo a long time ago. We effectively just broke the illusion
I didn’t know this for the longest time, but Ceaseless Discharge won’t do the suicide jump until after he rips his arm off. This usually isn’t an issue since he USUALLY does it first thing after picking up the gold hemmed set, but if he doesn’t he will just spam you with fiery arm cannons from a mile away until he does
this is why retrying the fight after stealing his sister's clothes is almost impossible with certain builds, it's a hard vigor check or pure RNG death looping as he wont tear his arm off again until you return to near where you stole the dress from in the first place
Thank you so much for this i never understood why I couldn't get him to do it if I died the first time
He's not actually "ripping his arm off". He doesn't have a right arm at all. He has a hole in the right side of his chest, that his left arm is usually slotted into. What he's actually doing is pulling his left arm out of the hole. It's a bit hard to tell because of how chaotic and messy his model is, but that's what he's doing.
@@tbotalpha8133 I think the actual animation is less relevant than the whole spamming wall of fire until you return to the altar mechanic...but ok whatever...
I remember trying to fight him blind and just running around in front of him rather aimlessly as I couldn't reach his body without walking off the edge.
Fun times.
The endless puns are GOLDEN. Thank you for doing this!!
You are most welcome
Nah that dog was after you so hard it ignored the code of the game💀
"Go back to your place, he's resting"
"Nah shut up bro, it's personal"
I like that 2-3 seconds of pure silence after the pun.
We all know the face he's probably making too
This has probably been said a thousand times already but the Four Kings only do Magic damage, therefore Great Magic Barrier will allow you to tank all of their hits with 80% magic absorption.
even just their regular sword swings? I did not know that
Priscilla could be cheesed in the miracle run by Force - it deals huge poise damage and breaks her invisibility easily
You can summon Solaire for Gaping Dragon as well for an extra Medal!
Ah well! It was better this way 😄
The real challenge is actually keeping him alive long enough to get the medal. Bro just runs straight into its mouth.
@@greenhowieand in the centipede demon fight.
He just runs straight into the lava.
He's only useful for Ornstein and Smough and that's only because he's a target.
@@Garviel-Lokengwyns too, same reason
@@Garviel-Loken he's got an orange charred ring equiped during centipede's fight so he can last long enough for you to finish centipede demon with no problem and get the medal
I think you could have made this run a bit easier on yourself by using Velka's talisman near the beginning of the miracle run, it is a talisman which scales off of intelligence instead of faith. It is especially useful if you are using the Gravelord miracles as those have 0 faith requirements.
While I completely agree with your point, I feel that that would go somewhat against the nature of the challenge or, perhaps, feel like somewhat of a copout even if it's a smart play.
I actually think it's probably easier to use the Darkmoon catalyst for the sorceries. Most of the best spells only need like 24-25 INT to cast, and the Darkmoon catalyst will let you start leveling FTH early.
@@KaroxNightshade I would normally agree with you, however you don't get the Darkmoon catalyst until after you reach Anor Londo. The main reason I think playing around getting Velka's talisman works is because you get it right after Gargoyles, which would make it especially useful after doing the sorcery run, while if you did the miracle run first and then did the sorcery run, you would have to wait a while before you can get any use out of the levels put into faith. I do get what you are saying though, other then the Gravelord miracles, most of the other miracles have much higher faith requirements.
I'm also kinda surprised he never considered buying the stuff in advance although it would probably defeat the purpose of the challenge. Like sure in this case the Only advantage would be having more uses of Wrath of the Gods and the one you'd get from Siegmeyer
15:03 that one had the whole office laughing (reference to zero Lenny’s ign run)
I just shat myself laughing
IT FLOATS DOWN
@@greed94 I loled pretty hard
😂
Also Que-Que for Quelaag.
I laughed so loudly at "I bought the crest of Andre from Artorias" at 23:06 whyyy 😭
if you use it in darkroot forest, you have to fight a hammer-wielding sif
This is gonna be a cake walk
Have you ever tried walking on a cake? It's actually quite difficult. My shoes smelt of icing for weeks afterwards
He's just Leedsing you on.
Creamy toes
The "easy" order would probably be Miracles -> Pyro -> Sorcery. But I guess you know that now! Good run
You'd have to start with either pyro or sorcery to have a damaging spell for the asylum though. Otherwise this would be the optimal order :(
Like the other guy said you need a damaging move for asylum so pyro or sorcerer. Also you couldn't get sunlight spear on ng
Yep, Pyro > Miracles > Sorcery is probably the easiest. Sunlight Spear on NG+ is still obscenely powerful, and you save all the crystal spells for NG++
Also if you do Sorcery last, you could have 3x Dark Bead :D
Dark Bead + RTSR + Power Within (ok that's using a Pyro too) + magic damage bonus from armor and rings is probably the most damage you can do with Sorcery :)
I think this order was chosen because you can only really get one of the strongest miracles with 2 gwyn souls?
It floats down! Love that joke, all the guys in the office loved it as well
My main grinding area for souls is the room just before Nito, the baby skeletons have infinite spawns so you never have to leave, just a nice horizontal swing or aoe spells.
try the painted world one, with wrath ofthe gods, you can get hundreds of thousands of souls incredibly quickly... and that's in ng0.
Honestly i enjoy that a lot of your runs are "invalid". Gives it a more casual vibe and makes me want to try these kind of runs for myself
Gwyn actually being a challenge for once is nice, if a little shocking. Fiery efforts buddy, truly a spelltacular video
33:01 there is no dark damage if I'm right , black flame and darb bead does half magic/fire and half pyhsical so no dark damage type in ds1
That is also why non-physical builds do less damage with it. It baffles me JK doesn't know that with all his expertise, then again, he never cast a spell before so I guess he's excused 😅
Ha, that's funny, you think I have expertise 😂😂😂
@@JKLeeds perhaps it's good advertising or just TH-cam algorithm being TH-cam algorithm, but I placed you on par with guys like Baron's Castle. Doesn't really matter, your content is entertaining enough as it is. 😁
@TeppicTheAbysswalker wow I take that as a huge compliment! He is one of my inspirations. Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😁 it was meant as a compliment. Still... Some of the puns... Just... Can't...
Hail hydra? XD
Dude I swear, I am 38 and all for dry humor but golly, after watching this I need to actually hydrate.
You know what? Hydrating is important, so here's a subscription. 😁
I look at my monitor to see that JK Leeds made something NEW
+ it is a video about spells
and after watching the vid
I must say this video is absolute FIRE!
I am amazed you had the patience and the SHOCKING amount of knowledge to do this
sometimes it feels almost MAGICAL in a way....
ok imma leave now
You nailed it! 👏
love the float down referance at moonlight butterfly
It'd be neat to see a ds2 and 3 runs like this. 2 has 4 schools of casting, and ds3 has a sizable collection of spells for each of the 3 categories.
Might line up a little better for 2 since you can go like miracles>sorcery>pyro>hexes since the scaling works out that way
@@feircy miracles are only doable with massive faith and attunement levels. sop it should either be second or third. sorcery would be the best to start with. as so many later enemies and bosses are very magic resitant.
my favorite magic type in the first dark souls is definitely miracles. i will never forget the pure terror and dread i felt the first time i saw an invader one tap my summon with wotg
15:00 Make the Moonlight Butterfly float down... AH! I get it! Hilarious
57:17 It looks like Kaathe and his bros are genuinely surprised by what your character's face looks like.
In some cases where you were concerningly low on casts you could have used the dusk ring to increase your "ammo". That could have made things easier. All in all good video my guy.
Calling Oscar "Academy Award" might be the funniest thing i've heard the whole week, you surpass yourself with every video!
The catacombs becons sweetly to all ashen ones leading them astray to wander into nothingness just to wander back and grab their damm quest
My favourite part is when the moonlight butterfly floats down 😂
How goodlooking Harry Derper is
Exactly
My fav magic build is using all three of them - Pyromancy, Sorcery and Miracles. Might not be SUPER effective, but quite fun and easy to play.
I love magic only runs. Can't wait for the video to go live!
Well you've come to the right place 😄
Sadly DS3 hates mages so that one will be a pain in the ahh
@@ibragimowbekhan0987it will be painful only on Aldrich and Midir. Magic in DS3 is just very fair and balanced to similar level as melee builds, no OP bullsh1t like in previous DS and Elden Ring.
@@suchar7175 your so horribly wrong you wouldnt even understand it...
@@ibragimowbekhan0987 I'm not wrong. DS3 has the best PvE balance out of Souls games. Everything is viable in this game, including bare fists.
Also nothing is crazy powerful until you make it powerful by your skill.
That was a really funn run to watch. I appreciate all you effort ❤
Just a little glitch/feature that may help… you can warp from the seath death bonfire if you sit at it from the outside of the bars (outside the cell) :)
Wow, I've finished this game 5 times and I had no idea you could leave Anor Londo before getting the lordvessel. I thought warping out was the only way!
My favorite magic type in DS1 is pyromancies, because they do not require any stats, so they can be used by basically anyone willing to invest in upgrading their flame.
4:56 My man Leeds has never tried using the Tin Banishment Catalyst melee attack. It's iffy for spell damage, but deals like 140 damage per hit in melee. Meaning you negate or minimize a weakness of the caster class.
Moonlight butterfly :
It floats down :
Your puns are magnificent, subtle, and hilarious! Really kept me in a good mood
You nailed them on the head in this one, just dont overdo them or they'll feel forced.
When you said "Floats down" I died laughing, funniest thing ever all the lads around the office love that one
Thanks for the video. Really enjoy this long form content from you!
As someone who has done these runs in all the souls games I'm always interested to see how others do these runs
Ive been excited for this run
A tip for the Four Kings at 51:33 for anyone who struggles with this problem:
They try to 1v1 you, but they have attack zone "bubbles" around each king. That's why sometimes they seem to gank you, sometimes they solo fight you. If you push them too far to the edge of the map (the room is large but still finite) and they can't back up further you end up entering their attack range bubble and get smacked.
Try dropping a message from where you drop in, or a prism stone, and try to stay semi-close to that. That way, they'll always engage you solo.
Sorcery and Pyromancy complement each other very well for a multitude of reasons. One of them is that magic boost gear like the Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring boost BOTH sorcery AND pyromancy damage, likely because the latter branches out from the former. Another is the while sorcery mainly gives you long-ranged spells, pyromancy mainly gives you close-ranged spells.
Pyromancy is my favorite for its versatility and coolness. Sorcery is also cool and fun.
would love to see a version of this in the other two dark souls games. with the pyro scaling I think it would be easier but I think it would still be a decent challenge.
That persistent doggo in the depths tickled the mess out of me! He really said "Sliding down the sewer? Born in the game, bro."
And it didn't reset afterwards 😂 I had a similar situation in Bloodborne, when dlc's aggressive npc Amelia fell down the altar elevator and stayed there after reset, separating herself permanently from the other church chick.
48:15
The hilarity ensures each time you manage to kite a mob out of its map chunk in From Software games. I think they don't reset properly if you do that as the bonfire-reset data is stored in area section.
I perma separated the two female church NPCs after Ludwig this way in Bloodborne once, and it also did some bad things to Malenia's Cleanrot knight ghosts in ER's War-dead Catacombs..
I just want to coment that I love the incredible comedy in your commentary. The puns and deadpan deliveries are awesome.
Harry Derper is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!
Damn right!
im more of a blueberry blast guy
55:00 Pretty sure the miracle Karmic Justice would've been golden against Gwynn. Unfortunately, our boi has bad memory.
Great video! Loved all the puns!
Not only is it possible it's very easy. Start with miracles, get 50 FTH and 45 DEX, obliterate the whole game with lightning spears. Once finished, farm the slugs in the painted world with WOTG (by far the most efficient soul farming in the game without cheating) till you have 50 INT. Start NG+ as an OP sorcerer. Pyromancy is easy no matter when you do it, and it only benefits from the 45 DEX.
Thank you for your comment. Your insight is greatly appreciated and shall be taken on board.
Warning: If there aren’t any videos after this, it will be due to the fact that I’ve started Elden Ring and smashed the PS5 controller against the TV hence no more video editing 😬
Really a fucking advertisement
Honestly....I can't say anything in response to this apart from....I LOVE YOU ❤️
That was a lot of fun to watch. Thank you!
Ring Grigs sells also works with Miracles.
i havent watched a movie on months but i just sat down thru all of this, great work man
What a fun idea for a challenge! I'd love to see this in the other games, or even a STR/DEX/ARC version in Bloodborne or Elden Ring.
Melee weapons don't really have a "cast" limit so that isn't hard at all.
Stumbled upon this in recommendations, came for the challenge - stayed for delightful barrage of puns, love it
The giant fire bomb + force interaction is hilarious with how much of a curve it had and how far it flew!
It is 5.30 am and i should be sleeping but here i am, just now at the end of an almost hour long dark souls video. Love the video, keep it up
Can't wait to see your run
That Olive-goyle pun was fantastic! I always enjoy hearing new puns.
I've always loved sorcery, but mostly just because Enchanted Balder Side Sword is a great weapon for when you're an int build, and I like that weapon.
I’m doing my first sorcery run rn, just finished seath with an enchanted balder side sword lmao
@@mop8328 hopefully you cut of seath's tail to get the moonlight greatsword as well. Very wonderful weapon that scales entirely with intelligence.
@@OniBoy02 I did grab it, It took 20+ times, I eventually got it with a +8pyro glove and great combustion, it 2 shots the tip of his tail and getting there is easy if u let him break his own crystal. When I actually tried to fight him that last run it was an incredibley easy fight once I wasn’t trying to get the sword
It floats down 😂Youve got our whole office laughing
good vid. i've always been curious to see how the various caster builds stack up against each other but not enough to, you know, run the game another 3 times, so that was interesting
The glove broke. Lmao. Also this man's ability to make puns are unparalleled.
This guy is my kinda humor 😂 I've watch a ton of your vids since subbing and you didn't disappoint ! Bravo!
Thinking about it this may be the hardest order to do this, really cool video
52:38 "This Wrath felt my Witch." Bro I nearly spit my drink out laughing!
I love magic. I always main velka's rapier, parrying dagger, sorcery. Crystal Soul Spear is a boss health bar evaporator and 40 dex, 50 int parries do over 1k damage to black knights.
i can never get over how you make so many puns without cracking up it gets me every time-- I bloody love your content xDD
Just got back from work an hour ago so I couldn't watch your stream live but I was looking forward to watching it my whole shift!
I was committed to this and then IT FLOATS DOWN. You definitely earned my sub
I really enjoyed this, seeing the difficulty rise too with every run. Yeah very fun
I rate this video - Good fire pun out of 10
I watched one of his bloodbourne runs and i was hooked. Thanks for the content
You're welcome my dude
What a unique run, really gave you some unique challenges
Loved the vid ! Keep it up!
loved the video 🤠👌🏻 man, your channel is definitely one of my favorites right now, please keep going! (also, I always forget to put the lordvessel too haha)
I like how you go from the most efective Magic (soul stuff/int), all the way tô the worst (miracles/fth) while amping up the difficulty with NG+
The Diddy Kong Racing Hot Top Volcano theme is sending me in teh background of the fire run.
Favorite Magic Type is a hard question.
From a usefulness standpoint Pyromancies can't really be topped. They don't need stat scaling and due absurdly good damage basically "out the box" as long as you make sure to keep your Flame upgraded relative to your area.
From a visual and gameplay FEEL standpoint it's hard to beat throwing lightning spears like goddamn ZEUS, cladding your weapons in sparkling lightning, and just straight up smiting enemies with the wrath of the actual gods. So Miracles get that for me. Just feels so badass.
From a lore perspective Sorceries are basically Seethe's plus Humanity's answer to the Miracles of the gods and that's far more admirable in my opinion than gaining power from blind faith in a pantheon of gods that uses humanity/undead like cannon fodder.
Ultimately, I know it's a bit of a cop-out, but I do like them all honestly.
Came for the challenge run, stayed for the puns. Great work, keep it up!
This was very pleasant to watch.
Also: It's not ringing both bells that trigger Lautrec, it's taking both firekeeper souls (the one in Undead Parish and the one in Blighttown).
Nito gave you the Yeet-o lmao, great video! Loved watching you punch the asylum demon ;)
Yeah he literally threw me into the next dimension 😂
Yo love ur vids
I want you to know. I subscribe to you mainly because of the puns you. You did, and your place there was pretty unique. Good job XD the Hydra pun thing, had me rowing.🤣
Dark bead does magic and physical damage. The physical part scales with strength/dex, that's why it wasn't hitting as hard as it could have.
Bro the names are so good and the delivery is the cherry on top lmaooo
Loved the Intro Mr Leeds!
15:00 FLOAT DOWN REFRENCE
Everyone at the office loves that one
so... the other challenge runners on speed, got it. subscribed. also those dad jokes though xD oh, pro tip about the bonewheel bois, you can cheese them by having high poise armor on and bonking them
