I've heard of a weapon called the stormruler, but it sounds like a pretty bad weapon. It's weapon art is super slow and sucks in pvp so it must suck against him too
Since I know I wasn’t the only one curious about the lyrics to the “Yhorm the Giant” song he sang, here they are: Yhorm the Giant, he’s big and bad and deadly Yhorm the Giant, he has a huge machete That’s not a euphemism He’ll use it with precision So you just gotta learn to dodge and get into the rhythm as you Slash, slash, slash At his ankles and his hands Then you poke, stab, stab So much damage this is grand But just hit him ‘till he staggers And then stick him with your dagger And that big old giant crashes down to land Yes you hit him ‘till he staggers Then you stick him with your dagger And that big old giant crashes down to land
This is one of the best channels, This guy doesn't upload a lot of videos but the quality of the videos is really impressive. This is my third time watching this video and I enjoyed it still, Thank you Baron man for this videos.
Props for mixing up the route as much as possible, it's always nice to see a different order of operations in this game. Pro tip to avoid future agony: picking the gold coin as your starter gift gives you like eight of them. They can really help with farming the gas staff, or even the mimic hat if you like.
nothing says "hey, i know you're sleep deprived, but maybe stay up another hour" like baron dropping a new video. you, be and, and our god ymfah are my absolute favorite content creators, and i will deadass stop what im doing to watch.
Thank you for this playthrough, now I can finally beat dark souls 3 the way Miyazaki intended. I especially loved the part when you said "it's baronin' time" and proceeded to perform the most tedious and hard glitch in the game just to troll some Aldrich follower
Well done, it is rare to find such quality put into game videoes. You're really creative and crushed the theme you made for the video, looking forward to following your journey :)
The Yhorm song actually took me back to when I did community theatre as a kid--our director wrote songs just like that for our plays, goofy but also a little awesome lol. I still remember the Jabberwocky song he wrote for Alice in Wonderland, the musical backstory of the Beast's curse from Beauty and the Beast... If we'd done a production for Dark Souls 3, it would've fit right in! Thanks for the nostalgia, I guess? Lmao
Man at first, when I saw this title, I was a little bit suspicious of whether or not this run would be completely normal. After watching this video, however, I am completely glad to say that there was nothing strange about it!
34:46 that invader looking around like "Wait... is this normal?" Baron: It's perfectly N͔͔̥̺̞̿͊̇o͙͙̙̘̙ͤͫ͞ṛ̣̬̫̍͌ͩ͟m̰̰̹͚̙̂ͦ͗͠a͔͔̜̗̦ͩ̅̎l͖͖̰ͭ̀͘ Ironically finding out that that one dog has a grab attack was an even bigger WTF than seeing Pontiff outside of his arena
That dog really took me by surprise. Maybe they never get us like this, because we mostly just sprint past them and their AI needs a stationary target to initiate a grab? That would be the only explanation that would make sense to me. But even then one would think wed have seen it before.
My favourite part of this video is when Baron said ''It's Castlin time!'' and then Normalled all over the Undead Legion. Brought me to tears. Truly, one of the Dark Souls 3 runs of all time.
Can we just talk about how much work must have gone into editing and writing a script with a punchline in almost every sentence for almost 50 minutes? Amazing work as always, keep it up!
After all these years, who knew Pontiff had a scripted kill event! Skipping everything to get the Millwood Greatbow was a very clever move. Excellent stuff.
I've played this game 5 times and this is the first I've heard that you can use Vow of Silence on Aldrich and that Dreg Heap swamp skip. Would've saved me a lot of pain
Your video quality is absolutely through the roof! I have no idea how you perfectly plan, script, and edit a 50 minute video while creating new boss themes. Blown away and I’m only 25 minutes in.
Yk, this video made me realize that I played DS3 far too normally as well by getting lost and doing the but freeze guy as my first boss and going into the abyss watcher right after that. I remember doing some stuff in between, but mostly being lost.
Can’t believe you wrote a banger just for this video. “Hit him till he staggers, then you stick him with your dagger and the big ole giant crashes down to land” hilarious.
I love the use of Ace Combat 5 Hanger(Mission Prep) music in the midir fight, and when you added it at 45:24 thank you, AC is a great series so to hear the music in a vid about A souls games is quite the treat
@@kimbrolyy Lots of enemies don't aggro on being poisoned by mist (mimic chests etc) so I can believe that positionining plus not directly attacking. It's not an AI freeze, I think.
How normal, I expected this to derail into insanity, but it derailed into becoming more and more normal, thank you for this video Baron. I will now be able to get progressively more normal as this goes.
Love seeing another perfectly normal run, really goes to show how normally you can beat these games! (The deacons flying into the air had to be one of my favorite bits, it’s so ridiculous looking)
My man I have to say that as transition was wow. I don’t know if like TH-cam ads are random or if you can choose what ads you get. But I got a raid shadow legends ad right at that moment I’m impressed
thank you for the tutorial, i was stuck on index girder for about 15 hours but finally got past with your strategy! going to follow this guide religiously for the rest of my playthrough
I started playing ds3 today again because a mod I love got updated. This is literally perfect. Thank you for the upload, can't wait to see how to beat ds3 nOrMaLlY
Wow, i actually did not see most of the things you did normally with bloodborne since i only played it once, now when you did it with a game i beat at least 6 times i see how much effort went into it
36:45 the song is: Bayonetta- Fly me to the Moon[Climax]. I'm not letting this end like the poison only run where I asked for assistance on finding a song and got jack shit in return.
Baron i just thought you should know that you make great content all together but f***n amazing DS content. the music, especially at 42:00 with the demon princes, brought me back to happy souls for a second even if its not even the same genre as summon in the sunlight.
Recently found your channel and was suspicious of the "normally" videos... Until I clicked on this one and heard the Doki Doki Lit Club music and immediately curled up into a ball and cried out of fear. 10/10 channel
Glad to see you decided on a Normal run. I always have fun seeing how people casually play the Souls Games and what kind of Strategy and Builds they go for. now if you decide to run it back again at some Point you can actually make Gundyr even easier than using an OP weapon like the Shield. you just have to go ahead and Shoot and Arrow in his Face just before his Healthbar appears. Apparently the poor lad gets Brain damage that way and just stops moving entirely.
Dude, I've had your Yhorm the Giant song stuck in my head for over a week. I friggin' love it. You make great content, my dude. Keep up the great work!!! ^_^
You and other challenge runners inspired me to try my own and Dark Souls 3 as my favorite game of them all is pretty perfect for it. I'm playing with a friend because that's even more fun and we were first doing a normal playthrough, then started one where we play as the workers from the undead settlement and now one where we have to equip new weapons, shield/chimes/staffs, armor pieces/sets and rings at the exakt time we pick them up and transpose boss souls right after defeating them. Also I posed the rule on myself that I don't explicitly level up to be able to use certain weapons, so I do often have weapons I am not able to weild. It's pretty fun so far though I have to say that I wouldn't be able to defeat certain bosses without his help probably, or only after hours and hours of trying. As someone who played the game only for 1500 hours, I don't feel ready for that yet. Also we'll do an item randomizer run next.
Nothing to see here, carry on
I've been waiting for this baron now I will watch this multiple times
You make banger music
My brother in Christ, you simply completed the game Completley Normally.
You can also cheese gundyr USING the crystal lizard by doing what u did but dragging it to the dog wall to hit the boss. Good for “miracle only” run
Crap fog wall
Man, can you imagine how hard Yhorm would have been without a super effective weapon like the handmaid's dagger?
I've heard of a weapon called the stormruler, but it sounds like a pretty bad weapon. It's weapon art is super slow and sucks in pvp so it must suck against him too
Hands are far more effective
@@Neftosklad the ultimate parry weapon
@@moistpickle5073 parry swapping to the firelink sword if you have hornet ring id real fun xd
@@lavoc775yeah don’t use it, the scaling sucks
Of all the things to be impressed or shocked by, I think it was the Vow of Silence vs Aldrich that hit me hardest. Like, woah.
it hit you harder than aldrich managed to hit me in that fight, thats for sure
Dude now im curious if you can use it to declaw the Crystal Sage. Thatd be hilarious
@@Integer_Overload I'm pretty sure that you can,very useful for NG+ When her spells kill you in two-to-three hits.
@@BaronsCastle not as hard as entering her fog wall as far away as possible and then spamming backstep to break her AI
@@TheGuy-gc7hqwait does the back step thing rly work?
The double-take at 34:48 killed me. Imagine going in for an invasion to find Pontiff waiting for you
But that's completely normal, though.
Yea, happens all the time.
I love how he just got up on that troll body just looking in pure disbelief.
"I came to defend my castle, why is the f#€king pope here"
I love how you just described the broadsword with “it’s a sword”.
Well, that is basically the in game description as well. 😂
As someone with hundreds of hours into DS3 this video is extremely upsetting in all the right ways. Great content.
Since I know I wasn’t the only one curious about the lyrics to the “Yhorm the Giant” song he sang, here they are:
Yhorm the Giant, he’s big and bad and deadly
Yhorm the Giant, he has a huge machete
That’s not a euphemism
He’ll use it with precision
So you just gotta learn to dodge and get into the rhythm as you
Slash, slash, slash
At his ankles and his hands
Then you poke, stab, stab
So much damage this is grand
But just hit him ‘till he staggers
And then stick him with your dagger
And that big old giant crashes down to land
Yes you hit him ‘till he staggers
Then you stick him with your dagger
And that big old giant crashes down to land
thanks a lot, is this song made by Baron? I think it should be another video for me to loop
@@deepseapenguin th-cam.com/users/clipUgkxUcj7HrhUtsaDiYg0g6Vci18eMlxL50Jr?si=xnobjd0_fs4XH7wi
This is indeed one of the completely normal runs of all time.
Definitely a run of time, indeed.
Joke is getting old
The run was less convoluted than time in dark souls.
@@AngriestPeanut It's one of the old jokes of time.
@@tarantulamadness6191 it's one of the time jokes of old :)
God I love the little musical interludes, they're the absolute highlight of this run, thank you for this glorious content!
Want it on loop? th-cam.com/users/clipUgkxUcj7HrhUtsaDiYg0g6Vci18eMlxL50Jr?si=xnobjd0_fs4XH7wi
I NEED that new Yhorm's theme to be in a separate video.
Thing SLAPS
I'm glad to hear that im not the only one
At this rate he needs to make a second channel just for all his songs.
23:26 , wasn't expecting Dark Souls the musical but I love it
Using ymfah's new Tear Drop to take your Pontiff for a walk is bloody brilliant. So glad that all his blood, sweat, and money isn't going to waste.
Was going to say the same thing. Amazing stuff that speed runners and fans can find after years later.
This was from Phobia about a year ago
@@doesntmatter2935 yeah ymfah doesn’t find the tricks himself
@@hejhejaske he did found a bunch of them by himself, but even if he doesnt he gives credit to the people ayway so thats cool
@@speeedwagonnn6959 the stupidity of your comment is amazing.
This is one of the best channels, This guy doesn't upload a lot of videos but the quality of the videos is really impressive. This is my third time watching this video and I enjoyed it still, Thank you Baron man for this videos.
Props for mixing up the route as much as possible, it's always nice to see a different order of operations in this game.
Pro tip to avoid future agony: picking the gold coin as your starter gift gives you like eight of them. They can really help with farming the gas staff, or even the mimic hat if you like.
If I remember correctly it gives you 5 rusty coins and 3 golden rusty coins, so yeah, pretty good deal for farming.
what do you mean this is the normal progression it even says so on the wiki
nothing says "hey, i know you're sleep deprived, but maybe stay up another hour" like baron dropping a new video. you, be and, and our god ymfah are my absolute favorite content creators, and i will deadass stop what im doing to watch.
Thank you for this playthrough, now I can finally beat dark souls 3 the way Miyazaki intended. I especially loved the part when you said "it's baronin' time" and proceeded to perform the most tedious and hard glitch in the game just to troll some Aldrich follower
excuse me sir, glitch isn't permitted here it's a normal playthrough!
That grab attack dog is the one they based the Elden ring dogs on. It has the wild flailing bite attack that in ER used to do like 60,000 damage
The run was normal up until Yhorm's new boss theme at 23:23; then it was the best thing ever. Nice one! :D
I'd listen to that song over and over if it was a separate video-
True it didn't need to hit that hard especially for a boss that's easy although beating a giant with a dagger Is always a nice thing.
Reminded me of tobuscus :D
Yes!😂
Facts. That song is fire 😂
Well done, it is rare to find such quality put into game videoes. You're really creative and crushed the theme you made for the video, looking forward to following your journey :)
The Yhorm song actually took me back to when I did community theatre as a kid--our director wrote songs just like that for our plays, goofy but also a little awesome lol.

Was not expecting the Buck Bumble theme.
A real man of culture.
Man at first, when I saw this title, I was a little bit suspicious of whether or not this run would be completely normal. After watching this video, however, I am completely glad to say that there was nothing strange about it!
Loved the music in this video. The pontiff vs player part was amazing. Good video

Ironically finding out that that one dog has a grab attack was an even bigger WTF than seeing Pontiff outside of his arena
Love seeing one of my favorite creators commenting on another of my favorite creators video
haha that fucking dog
I love you both, baron press😂
haa, mijn favoriete medelander op youtube
That dog really took me by surprise. Maybe they never get us like this, because we mostly just sprint past them and their AI needs a stationary target to initiate a grab? That would be the only explanation that would make sense to me.

Genuinely one of my favorite Soulsborne content creators, so excited to watch this
This is quality content. A guide to Dark Souls cheese and the songs he sang is perfection
9:33 the buck bumble theme is unironically one of the best game themes ever made. Thank you baron for reminding me of this masterpeice
Fantastic
I haven't thought about Buck Bumble in years. Thank you for that.
Can we just talk about how much work must have gone into editing and writing a script with a punchline in almost every sentence for almost 50 minutes?
Amazing work as always, keep it up!
Not to mention the work that must have gone into the Yhorm song.
Finally a good walkthrough that I can follow to the very end and have a normal DS3 experience.
After all these years, who knew Pontiff had a scripted kill event!
Skipping everything to get the Millwood Greatbow was a very clever move. Excellent stuff.
Hi literally me
Gravity gets us all in the end, unfortunately :(

Okay but seriously that yhorm bit is an absolute jam
I was so pumped when Smell Of The Game started playing at the beginning. Great choice there
Finally, another "Normal" playthrough from barons castle
Have you seen the Bloodborne normally
@@Astro_theskin I have, I suppose I should say "another Normal" playthrough from him.
He did a normal playthrough for bloodborne
He had another video where he did this but with bloodborne
💀people just don't read before they commwnt
I saw so many awesome features that I never knew existed, like PvP with your pal Sulyvahn.
Your video quality is absolutely through the roof! I have no idea how you perfectly plan, script, and edit a 50 minute video while creating new boss themes. Blown away and I’m only 25 minutes in.

That "everybody jump!" was so unexpected, it had me in tears. :'D Thanks for the laugh again :)
When you grabbed the handmaid's dagger I got flashbacks to when I played through ds3 with only daggers
9:50 never jammed out this much in my life while watching a DS3 run
also, wow, the strats here are the "best of DS3" video I always wanted
Buck Bumble was the shit.
Can’t believe you wrote a banger just for this video. “Hit him till he staggers, then you stick him with your dagger and the big ole giant crashes down to land” hilarious.
This may have been the most “normal” ds3 run I’ve ever seen, but damn the Yhorm song smacks. When we gonna get an album for all these bangers?
Loved the N64 Perfect Dark music during the twins fight. Nicely done. 👏
I love the use of Ace Combat 5 Hanger(Mission Prep) music in the midir fight, and when you added it at 45:24 thank you, AC is a great series so to hear the music in a vid about A souls games is quite the treat
23:23 my dude why is this catchy! XD also great video i never thought you could play this game normally but you have proven me wrong
I love how this normal series is slowly devolving into a Senza playthrough of the Souls games.
40:00 What a normal kill on the Twin Princes. Definitely didn't make me regret spending two and a half hours trying to kill them any other way.
I'm still confused how he did it. Is it just the positioning?
@@kimbrolyy Lots of enemies don't aggro on being poisoned by mist (mimic chests etc) so I can believe that positionining plus not directly attacking. It's not an AI freeze, I think.
My favorite cheese/skip strategies are always ones like the crystal sage skip, ones that's are far more of a pain than just fighting the boss
How normal, I expected this to derail into insanity, but it derailed into becoming more and more normal, thank you for this video Baron. I will now be able to get progressively more normal as this goes.
I KNEW I recognized that monkey island song but would've never remembered which game it was from, thank you so much for including a playlist!
23:54 Yhorm’s new totally normal boss music rocks and I totally don’t need it on Spotify to function normally. No not at all 👀
What a banger video, I didn’t even know a quarter of these “normal” strategies existed. I loved this so much
Blows my mind how people find some of these
That Yhorm song had NO RIGHT to go that hard. Great video as always, but I'm anxiously awaiting your move to music production.
Yhorm's theme was truly a thing a beauty. can't believe i never knew about all of the 'totally normal' boss strategies
Love seeing another perfectly normal run, really goes to show how normally you can beat these games!
(The deacons flying into the air had to be one of my favorite bits, it’s so ridiculous looking)
My man I have to say that as transition was wow. I don’t know if like TH-cam ads are random or if you can choose what ads you get. But I got a raid shadow legends ad right at that moment I’m impressed
Even a fucking musical number. I love this video. Thank you, great work Baron!
Man, that Megaman theme got me good. Instantly triggered my Pavlov's conditioning, I heard the "Get Ready!" voice in my head.
The Yhorm song was an absolute masterpiece, thank you sir
I love the fact that there is monkey island in the backround of this video.
Its just an incredible game series.
thank you for the tutorial, i was stuck on index girder for about 15 hours but finally got past with your strategy! going to follow this guide religiously for the rest of my playthrough
okay, but hear me out.. I really want a speedrun catergory dedicated to beating DS3 bosses like he did. That would be hilarious and actually siiick.
I started playing ds3 today again because a mod I love got updated. This is literally perfect. Thank you for the upload, can't wait to see how to beat ds3 nOrMaLlY
Always appreciate the Fire Emblem tracks you sprinkle into your videos Baron.
Wow, i actually did not see most of the things you did normally with bloodborne since i only played it once, now when you did it with a game i beat at least 6 times i see how much effort went into it
cant see DS sun without thinking ab the eclipse in berserk
Ah, Baron's castle, the best youtuber with the words Baron and Castle in his username bar none.
This was less cursed than I was hoping, but more-so than I was expecting. Thanks!
36:45 the song is: Bayonetta- Fly me to the Moon[Climax].
I'm not letting this end like the poison only run where I asked for assistance on finding a song and got jack shit in return.
Bayonetta is peak ngl
Perfect dark music caught me off guard there! Haven't played it in donkeys but still instantly recognised it.
ahh, just another chill, average and nothing out of the ordinary playthrough from Baron 🤠
Baron i just thought you should know that you make great content all together but f***n amazing DS content. the music, especially at 42:00 with the demon princes, brought me back to happy souls for a second even if its not even the same genre as summon in the sunlight.
Bro this totally normal run had some banger music the one at 23:00 was my favorite

10/10 channel
Incredible video.
Well worth the wait, cant wait to see more
I am impressed. The music you made for a joke was top notch. Gotta look for more on your channel!
this is definetely one of the runs in history
Truly the run of all time
You gave credit to every source you could thank you immensely it has earned a sub from me good quality content keep it up!
Ah yes. A completely normal playthrough. Totally normal. N o R M a L. Definitely taking notes on how NOT to cheese DS3.
Glad to see you decided on a Normal run. I always have fun seeing how people casually play the Souls Games and what kind of Strategy and Builds they go for.
now if you decide to run it back again at some Point you can actually make Gundyr even easier than using an OP weapon like the Shield.
you just have to go ahead and Shoot and Arrow in his Face just before his Healthbar appears. Apparently the poor lad gets Brain damage that way and just stops moving entirely.
This was a masterpiece from start to finish
Dude, I've had your Yhorm the Giant song stuck in my head for over a week. I friggin' love it. You make great content, my dude. Keep up the great work!!! ^_^
there is a little game in your glitch mate
Dude demon prince is my favourite boss fight out of the 3 souls games. I loved it so much
48:35 We didn't watch for your lore knowledge, but for a normal play through which you delivered.
i love that the guy at 34:48 had to look again to make sure he wasnt seeing things and that pontiff was really there
The songs here are brilliant. We love Be And and ymfah for good music choices, now y'all gotta praise Baron for good music composing.
I played dark souls 3 a few years ago for my first souls game and the intro gave me flash backs
Just discovered the channel and I was expecting a normal run. Lot of fun.
That Buck Bumble song has lived rent free in my head for like 20 years
The Buck Bumble theme was amazing. What a weird pull for such a normal run...
You and other challenge runners inspired me to try my own and Dark Souls 3 as my favorite game of them all is pretty perfect for it. I'm playing with a friend because that's even more fun and we were first doing a normal playthrough, then started one where we play as the workers from the undead settlement and now one where we have to equip new weapons, shield/chimes/staffs, armor pieces/sets and rings at the exakt time we pick them up and transpose boss souls right after defeating them.

totally normal run imo, well done! :) i think i overslept friede and the champion.
that spell, which was used on aldrich totally hit me off guard :D
Cvs2 music for pontiff was class. You have my respect.
23:30 actually fire, reminds me of that one movie with the dude from Илья и разбойник
I didn't expect to hear music from baten kaitos in a dark souls video.
I mean, it fits the clip well but that's a trip down memory lane there for me.
I hugely appreciate the Tales of music you used here. Absolute banger video my dude o/
