- Like a persistent rodeo rider, I'm back on my bull. You know how this one goes - can you beat Dark Souls 3... normally? I'm sure this will be a perfectly standard run where nothing out of the ordinary happens, right? Right?
All glitches/skips/exploits performed on a PS5 on current patch. Thanks to my good friend Suits for help with the teardrop glitch. Please like and sub for more fromsoft content! Read on for more info... you know you want to

The most comprehensive video out there is Phobia's excellent compilation of DS3 glitches on current patch, which covers a lot of the content here including millwood greatbow, abyss and gundyr freezes, pontiff teardrop skip, siegward titanite dupe and more: • Glitches you can do in...

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
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 :)
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.
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!
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"
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 😂
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
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.
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.
As someone with hundreds of hours into DS3 this video is extremely upsetting in all the right ways. Great content.
I love how you just described the broadsword with “it’s a sword”.
Well, that is basically the in game description as well. 😂
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
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
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
God I love the little musical interludes, they're the absolute highlight of this run, thank you for this glorious content!
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.
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!
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.
What a banger video, I didn’t even know a quarter of these “normal” strategies existed. I loved this so much
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
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.
But even then one would think wed have seen it before.
Genuinely one of my favorite Soulsborne content creators, so excited to watch this
23:26 , wasn't expecting Dark Souls the musical but I love it
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.
Finally, another "Normal" playthrough from barons castle
Have you seen the Bloodborne normally
@@Megumijr1 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
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 :(

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.
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
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
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.
I haven't thought about Buck Bumble in years. Thank you for that.
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 :)
That "everybody jump!" was so unexpected, it had me in tears. :'D Thanks for the laugh again :)
Okay but seriously that yhorm bit is an absolute jam
Loved the music in this video. The pontiff vs player part was amazing. Good video
This is quality content. A guide to Dark Souls cheese and the songs he sang is perfection
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?
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 👀
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.
Finally a good walkthrough that I can follow to the very end and have a normal DS3 experience.
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?
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.
Loved the N64 Perfect Dark music during the twins fight. Nicely done. 👏
i've been stuck on yhorm for years ! now i know the right music and weapon to use thank you
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
Even a fucking musical number. I love this video. Thank you, great work Baron!
9:21 cant believe you got David Mitchell to voice this part
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)
That Yhorm song had NO RIGHT to go that hard. Great video as always, but I'm anxiously awaiting your move to music production.
My man you have outdone yourself with this video! Truly phenomenal content
I was so pumped when Smell Of The Game started playing at the beginning. Great choice there
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
The Yhorm song was an absolute masterpiece, thank you sir
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!!! ^_^
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
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
These videos are so much fun man, keep it up.
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!
Good god, I haven't heard the Buck Bumble theme in so many years. Thanks for the nostalgia hit Baron.
Incredible video.
Well worth the wait, cant wait to see more
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
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
Ah, Baron's castle, the best youtuber with the words Baron and Castle in his username bar none.
That Pontiff glitch is probably my favorite glitch in all of Soulsborne. A pain to set up but fun as hell.
Another entertaining video man! Almost 50 minutes of glee and laughter. Big Ups!
You’re a g mate, Love the spin you put on Souls challenge runs
This was less cursed than I was hoping, but more-so than I was expecting. Thanks!
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
Bro this totally normal run had some banger music the one at 23:00 was my favorite
I find myself singing the Yorm song almost daily since seeing this video a month ago. Thanks for that!
The songs are just the icing on the cake here. Amazing video!
ahh, just another chill, average and nothing out of the ordinary playthrough from Baron 🤠
this is definetely one of the runs in history
Truly the run of all time
Perfect dark music caught me off guard there! Haven't played it in donkeys but still instantly recognised it.
The buck bumble song and perfect dark one took me back !
Ah yes. A completely normal playthrough. Totally normal. N o R M a L. Definitely taking notes on how NOT to cheese DS3.
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.
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
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.
I would absolutely love to see a Baron stardew run, I dont know about anyone else.
a *"normal"* stardew run, using the completely dev approved naming system
This was a masterpiece from start to finish
I hugely appreciate the Tales of music you used here. Absolute banger video my dude o/
These boss theme remixes are inspired! Glad to see you back!
29:04 I don’t know why this scene was so funny to me but I laughed really hard. Thanks Baron. All the best for ur Channel. Hope my Like and Comment do a bit for the algorithm.
there is a little game in your glitch mate
I like how you do a walkthrough and make a entertaining video at the same time. Very good stuff 😂 while skipping easy bosses lol
You gave credit to every source you could thank you immensely it has earned a sub from me good quality content keep it up!
ahhhhh, Your Reality at the beginning was a very nice touch :)
Just discovered the channel and I was expecting a normal run. Lot of fun.
This video slaps, I love the Yhorm song, it's always a fun time watching your videos
I always love your videos.
Your jokes are funny.
Your pacing is on point.
And you don't do loud sound effect spams like some others do.
I admire your gameplay and all the work you put into scripting/editing… but damn man, those musical interludes have to be my favorite parts!! 🤣
I love the audio used at 6:18. That video is a classic lol
Baron this truly solidified you as one of the greats
lovely video as usual, excited every time you upload
When you grabbed the handmaid's dagger I got flashbacks to when I played through ds3 with only daggers
Cvs2 music for pontiff was class. You have my respect.
Thx for the OST playlist! :D
Dude your content is gold. I can't believe you finally got sponsored bro!
