Just something of note, item discovery is capped at 410, like you said, but 99 humanity is not required. Humanity item discovery is capped at 10, while the rest up to 99 only helps with defense.
@@ce5243agreed. I appreciate that 3 might be the better made game from a technical perspective, but the world is less interesting than 1, and for all its faults 2 really tried a lot of new stuff and changed it up a good deal. I love em all but 3 is the bottom of my personal list.
I completed all weapon upgrade path achievements in ng, and sorceries pyromancies too. Weapon drop rates are far better in dsr than er or ds3 too. Also, ds3 forces you to max covenants for things like darkmoon blade, whilst dsr only has you upgrade to rank 1 or just join a covenant for the reward. Plus covenant materials are almost too easy to obtain. A medal per solaire summon where he lives, and 4 free medals per run, 3 from a chest and one from lautrec. Harpies have a 6 PERCENT drop rate of souvenirs, which is insane. Like 3 drop every run, and it barely takes 5 minutes to get the ten you need. Eyes of death also have a high drop rate, and like 6 humanities drop on avg per run in the chasm of the abyss with max discovery. Everything said, dsr was the easiest soulsgame to platinum by far. Also there are no ng+ specific rings or loot you need for achievements. Ds3 was a nightmare compared to this. I have ptsd from farming for covenants.
Ds1 is fun to plat, ive done it on basically every platform, but I will NEVER plat ds3 again lol. When tbat game launched I got the bug where I was just never summoned for sentinel or darkmoon fights, so I had to farm silver knights for ears. I was there for so lone I had 7 million souls before I got the drops. Never again 😂
Wait, did you just find a way to get Sunlight Spear on playthrough 1? When you died to the knights after beating Gwyn it showed you got his soul, and then you had to walk back to the boss room for the ending right? If you do that in NG then you could potentially get Sunlight Spear before NG+ niche is usefulness, but interesting to know
Hey. I desperately want to dupe a soul item... may you please explain exactly, step by step, how you do it? You don't drop the arrows, but I'm not understanding what you do after, I just see your menu screen topping over the other. I feel that I'm not catching a step or two. Please help?
@@BacklogBuster they’re only worth it for variations of weapons with different blood gem slots, the beast claws, and the Yharnam boss. Definitely suggest using guides for any of that, cuz there’s a lot of chalice dungeons that are mostly pointless.
I would say absolutely use the guides, as some of the required chalices, especially the one with the cursed modifier - you get half health and receive half physical damage, but still take full elemental damage, and the bosses are a lady who shoots fire, a dog made of fire and an alien who shoots magic - have save-edited versions available which remove the half health modifier but still give you the required drop, and why should everyone suffer as we have suffered? We want to make a world where those who come after us have a better life, one without bullshit instant oneshot charge attacks???
I'm barely about to be level 92 and I've been playing since February. I have 414 hours in now... obviously, I've lost plenty of time because I fell asleep at night while sitting at the bonfires, it calms me. But I feel like I've been cheated out of a lot of time as well. Also, you completed it, with less than one hundred hours? This is unfair.
I've played Dark Souls for well over 500 hours across the years. My first casual playthrough was probably around 60. I've put in a lot of past legwork to do stuff like this relatively quickly.
Ah yes, collecting them all... Makes me remember that i got two Dark Hands on my first playthrough as soon as the Four Kings were no more, despite people telling me that it's probably one of the items to go for on NG+. :D
The most annoying things for the trophies are definitely the unique weapons and weapon level ups. You need a minimum of two full playthroughs, plus a third with grabbing Sif's soul and getting to the boss weapon smith. This also requires grinding for the rare drop of the channeler's trident. I don't think it's quite as bad as Dark Souls 2, as certain spells/miracles are locked to much later new game plus cycles. And then Dark Souls 3 is supposedly even worse due to certain ring requirements. Also, you don't need to dupe. Just have enough faith to cast the miracle version of a homeward bone. Free returns, much cheaper.
The most enjoyable way to do this platinum is to not do it on one single playthrough. I did it so that every "upgrade x kind of weapon" would be a unique save file that I would start up whenever I felt like replaying the game, that way I got to see the strengths and weaknesses of different weapon types and playstyles. The only achievement I had to put any real effort into was knight's honor at that point, and when you're doing just that and not worrying about NPC quests or item farming, it becomes a lot more tolerable. I don't really think this platinum is meant to be gotten all at once, so if you go for it yourself, I wouldn't recommend that route.

Hahahaaa, it's fine I believe you. I'm very well acquainted with the magic that is RNG.
Recently popped this platinum myself! Not as much of a pain as I expected, but my first souls platinum was DS3, so….
Its probably a solid 6 in terms of grinding. There are some truly sadistic platinum's out there though.
