I was honestly weirded out why someone would use the whip, even forged with Fire... Then, The Catacombs. the theme from the same-named area from Castlevania Circle of the Moon! You made my day with this nostalgia rush, thanks
This is so cheap. I couldn't find him because I thought that that hole would be an insta-death and there was no indication whatsoever that something was down there.
The Berserk Horse idk if you know this or even care at this point, but there's an item in every Souls game, except maybe Demons, that allows you to see whether a fall is lethal or not.
First thanks for showing me how to find the bloody blacksmith. Second once I finally figured out where the music came from I couldn't stop laughing. Time to go dig up my old Gameboy advance
Wow thanks for that! I was curious where the other smiths were and also, using the whip that had fire on it I was thinking "Who does this guy think he is? One of the Bellmontes?" and then you had that castlevania music in the background to cement that which not only makes your video helpful, but also awesome :D
when i noticed how you had the fire whip in the beginning and whipping skeletons, i couldnt help but think of castlevania games :D so nostalgic, brings back good memories lol
I have done 3 runs of DS and I have never not found this smith. I don't even know the main route you are supposed to take, I just found that dropping down that hole was an easier path then all those turning bridges and door opening mechanisms
Very good video man, congratulations! And the Belmont character idea was great! I trying to do the same (although my character is looking more like Alucard) but my damage is really low (occult whip with faith 28), yours whip is a chaos weapon? (sorry for my english)
many people use humanity in co-op to heal up, but another reason is that it gives a item discovery boost and a curse resistance the more humanity you have in the bar stored up
@ISerathI He has the dark wood grain ring from a forest hunter covenant npc. makes you do a handspring and run faster if you're under 50% equip weight.
I can tell you a couple things by looking, though I'm not sure I'm right. He's obviously got the fire whip, left hand has thorolund talisman, throwing knives, he's wearing the darkwood grain ring, looks like wanderer hood to me? And I can't really tell the rest of his armor, but his shield and other weapon have to be fairly light though
Only problem is you still have to have cleared the spikes and the first necromancer to use this shortcut so it doesn't work for characters wanting to use fire weapons early on.
a true heir to the belmont bloodline would never skip past such abominations of the light unless they didnt need to farm their drops anymore or something
@Mittchi I made a Belmont build too lol. Although instead of the fire whip, I went with an Occult Notched Whip +5. It's surprisingly decent. I know it's not exactly 100% accurate, but I figured I might as well since it's a faith build. Plus massive bleeding damage is always good lol. You ever beaten another player with this? I haven't played online with mine yet lol. I might give it a try, beating someone with a whip will be fairly humiliating for them. Oh and thanks for the help video.
Can anyone help? I don't have the 'items' option when talking to him. I read that he's got stuff to sell, but I don't get the option to buy, only repair/ascend weapons etc. My problem is that I killed the first merchant for his Uchigatana, and like everyone else, I accidentally smacked the female merchant, so I can't buy arrows from anyone right now.
Well, you should go through the catacombs AFTER beating Anor Londo anyways, so if you have already gotten to the Giant Blacksmith, HE sells arrows. That's also where the Dragnoslayer Greatbow is, so if you like bows then you should give it a try!
+Jon Dovah vamos don't sell me things either and all other black smiths dead (I had to go to washroom my sister killed them all exept this one) (over the span of a few days) so how do we get him to sell us stuff
Lordkaminator Also, Vamos does not sell things, if you pause the video you'll see there is no such option. Try the Crestfallen Merchant in Sen's Fortress or Domhnall of Zena under the bridge near Firelink Shrine.
I must have a fireweapon..Love that burning-animation :) I'm in the catacombs right now..not found Vamos yet..but know how to get there. Does not have any fire embers yet though. Nice whip.
strange thing happened to me, I was trying to go down and accidently jump right down the very middle, I hit the floor at the bottom where there the floor is broken for you to jump down and died... Instead of being sent back to the bondfire, Vamos came,smashed open he wall leading to where therolling skeletons are and told me to "TO BE GONE" cause i was ruining his focus. I now have that wall open.
@Mittchi lolwut? I'm at SL70 (I wanted to dual wield Demon Axes, didn't work the way I wanted too. lololol) And I have problems getting to 50k souls (even without using them). What would you say the vast community stays at so I can make a new account to join in bosses/invasions and such? My stuff seems to rarely work.
theres four of them not five. the giant blacksmith in anor londo, blacksmith vamos in the catacombs, blacksmith andrei in the undead parish, and rickert of vinheim in new londo ruins.
@Blissy10 The rats in the Painting world are really good. I literally got 5 humanity back to back just going up the stairs. The ring probably helped though.
Using a whip and playing the castlevania music in dark souls
Sir, you have my respects.
And the throwing knives
in the catacombs
CaballeroDelAbismo and killing skeletons
I was honestly weirded out why someone would use the whip, even forged with Fire... Then, The Catacombs. the theme from the same-named area from Castlevania Circle of the Moon!
You made my day with this nostalgia rush, thanks
Bonus points for all the references to the most underrated Castlevania.
lol agreed i laughed a lot when i heard the music and saw his weapon
Probly not getting a lot of foot traffic in that location
This is so cheap. I couldn't find him because I thought that that hole would be an insta-death and there was no indication whatsoever that something was down there.
I fell directly in the hole. Maybe that's how most of us manage to find it in the first place xD
When in doubt, bodycheck that shit
The Berserk Horse idk if you know this or even care at this point, but there's an item in every Souls game, except maybe Demons, that allows you to see whether a fall is lethal or not.
prism stone is what it is in dark souls
i always toss prism stones into pits in the souls series
3D Castlevania done right. Amazing job.
2:00 The skeleton was trained by the Senate
glad I'm not the only one considering Dark Soul the best "spiritual" 3D Castlevania lol. Thanks!
Symphony of the dark of course
THIS DUDE IS SIMON BELMONTING ON THESE SKELETON'S ASSES SO HARD
Anyone making a tutorial or how-to video for any video game, use this as a reference. This is perfect.
First thanks for showing me how to find the bloody blacksmith. Second once I finally figured out where the music came from I couldn't stop laughing. Time to go dig up my old Gameboy advance
you deserve a Like only for the Castlevania music in the background...and for showing us the location of Vamos, of course :D
I saw the whip, miracles, leather armor, throwing knives, and started to grin. I subscribed when the music kicked in. Keep being awesome!
This video is....brilliant. I love this game, and I love Castlevania! Excellent. Didn't see that coming. Beautiful.
Ok now i need to make a Belmont
thank you for making my day with that sudden Castlevania music. it was only then I realized you were role-playing..
>Castlevania Music
You, sir, are a man of taste.
Focus = spoiled
Wow thanks for that! I was curious where the other smiths were and also, using the whip that had fire on it I was thinking "Who does this guy think he is? One of the Bellmontes?" and then you had that castlevania music in the background to cement that which not only makes your video helpful, but also awesome :D
Thanks man, I got to him in my first playthrough when I was lost and didn't remember how to get to him.
Thanks for both the location AND the awesome sudden castlevania music. Holy shit, I had a sudden surge of nostalgia after hearing that lol.
when i noticed how you had the fire whip in the beginning and whipping skeletons, i couldnt help but think of castlevania games :D so nostalgic, brings back good memories lol
LOL Dark souls is like a really good 3d castlevania, haha thanks for that :D
Bazuso? The great knight Bazuso? Also known as the bear fucker.
You, sir, are a legend.
Also, you have inspired me to now make a Simon Belmont build.
Thanks for the video, I forgot the way, it's stupid that it's rather cumbersome to get to him compared to the other blacksmiths.
Just a little tip about those mimic chests - look out for the chain on the right facing forward, if so it's a mimic, normally it curls back.
i don´t watch youtube that often, but it´s the video of the year, at least for me. EPIC !!!
I got a good laugh when "Awake" from Circle of the Moon started to play. Love that game/song. Nice touch!
MY GOD THE MUSIC.
Circle of the Moon is defiantly one of my favorites. Thanks for making the video :)
Nice Castlevania circle of moon inference! Earned my respect ;)
Lmfao! i get it! the knifes! the whip! the music! the fking force?! thats the 2nd gen simon belmont build ! BRAVO!~ XD
What a horrible night to have a curse of the dark sign. So gonna replay this game as a Belmont!
love that they added castlevania circle of the moon music though
You just made my day with the CotM music.
Gonna be visiting this guy a lot in DkS remastered!
i was thinking about nathan graves when i saw the whip BEFORE I EVEN KNEW THE MUSIC WOULD START
I have done 3 runs of DS and I have never not found this smith.
I don't even know the main route you are supposed to take, I just found that dropping down that hole was an easier path then all those turning bridges and door opening mechanisms
Simon Belmont, is that you?
It's from Circle of the Moon, doofus!
Music starts: Ha! that takes me back!
Busts out the whip: F*&@ YEAH!
You. Are. Awesome!
Very good video man, congratulations! And the Belmont character idea was great! I trying to do the same (although my character is looking more like Alucard) but my damage is really low (occult whip with faith 28), yours whip is a chaos weapon? (sorry for my english)
The Castlevania music was a nice touch.
many people use humanity in co-op to heal up, but another reason is that it gives a item discovery boost and a curse resistance the more humanity you have in the bar stored up
@ISerathI He has the dark wood grain ring from a forest hunter covenant npc. makes you do a handspring and run faster if you're under 50% equip weight.
i honestly just love how the music started and your using a whip lol
WHAT IS THAT MUSIC!? IT'S GLORIOUS!
I can tell you a couple things by looking, though I'm not sure I'm right. He's obviously got the fire whip, left hand has thorolund talisman, throwing knives, he's wearing the darkwood grain ring, looks like wanderer hood to me? And I can't really tell the rest of his armor, but his shield and other weapon have to be fairly light though
Omg... wait, is that Castlevania ost? This is too much for my heart to handle.
What kind of armor are you rocking there?
The hood I know, but the rest - specifically that chest piece - is pretty unfamiliar...and classy!
Dat Castlevania music. Truly awesome
Only problem is you still have to have cleared the spikes and the first necromancer to use this shortcut so it doesn't work for characters wanting to use fire weapons early on.
Awesome vid. Armor set ?
+Psychosmurf43 Wanderer set I think.
He started all the way at firelink shrine. what a nice guy.
Thanks for the music, so many memories...
Castlevania Approved !
Like how you play the Catacombs theme from Castlevania lol
This video inspired me to make my own video of a Catacombs run.
Vamos doesnt give me the option to purchase. Am i supposed to do anything to allow me to purchase?
a true heir to the belmont bloodline would never skip past such abominations of the light
unless they didnt need to farm their drops anymore or something
The Castlevania killed me good job
like when that random music pops out
DUDE. When Nathan's theme came on i Nostalgia'd :D
@Mittchi I made a Belmont build too lol. Although instead of the fire whip, I went with an Occult Notched Whip +5. It's surprisingly decent. I know it's not exactly 100% accurate, but I figured I might as well since it's a faith build. Plus massive bleeding damage is always good lol.
You ever beaten another player with this? I haven't played online with mine yet lol. I might give it a try, beating someone with a whip will be fairly humiliating for them.
Oh and thanks for the help video.
that's an awesomely cool character build!!
This is what the castlevania games should be.
this dont work in prepare to die theres spikes there. do i have to kill nito first or get the lordvessel?
you still have the problem? you have to activate a mechanism to flip the bridge
The castlevania music was a nice touch lol
Circle of Moon was my intro to Castlevania!
Surprised this video didn't end with a boss fight against Dracula.
Can anyone help? I don't have the 'items' option when talking to him. I read that he's got stuff to sell, but I don't get the option to buy, only repair/ascend weapons etc.
My problem is that I killed the first merchant for his Uchigatana, and like everyone else, I accidentally smacked the female merchant, so I can't buy arrows from anyone right now.

+Lordkaminator Your sister is a jerk.
CidGuerreiro1234 ikr
Lordkaminator Also, Vamos does not sell things, if you pause the video you'll see there is no such option. Try the Crestfallen Merchant in Sen's Fortress or Domhnall of Zena under the bridge near Firelink Shrine.
nice!
which weapon do you recommend upgrading with fire/chaos with dexterity and strength below 30?
How did you undo the spikes on the bridge that you hopped down to? I never found the switch for that.
Where's the background music from? It's nice~
I must have a fireweapon..Love that burning-animation :) I'm in the catacombs right now..not found Vamos yet..but know how to get there. Does not have any fire embers yet though. Nice whip.
This is making me want to do an Alucard build!
im glad i got circle of the moon again. its one f the greats of the series
3:17 is there usually a green titanite shard there?
strange thing happened to me, I was trying to go down and accidently jump right down the very middle, I hit the floor at the bottom where there the floor is broken for you to jump down and died...
Instead of being sent back to the bondfire, Vamos came,smashed open he wall leading to where therolling skeletons are and told me to "TO BE GONE" cause i was ruining his focus. I now have that wall open.
If I'm not mistaken, you go the same way to the Great Scythe after the 1st Catacombs bonfire?
catslevania music in dark souls. you're a fucking hero! AAA 2:00 NAA-NA-NAA-NA-NAA-NA!
EXCELLENT!!! Castlevania Music?
wait aren't you able to buy from vamos normally cause I cant
Does anyone know what he is using to give him that awesome flip roll?
Should be noted that whis will cause you to betray the Covenant and become a sinner.
1:25 what is the music please?
the armor, fire whip, scary background, and skeleton monsters along with the way he rolls i had to double check i was on the right video lol
What is he wearing? It looks like the wanderer top but at the same time it doesn't.
Every time i try and get on that bridge spikes seem to come out of the ground, why is that?
You have to follow the main path until you find a switch that will rotate the bridge to it's flat side.
If I may ask, can you please tell me how you get so much humanities and souls? And if you farmed for it.. where exactly?
Are you going for nathan graves with the salamander card?
The 3D Castlevania that we never got..
Castlevania rock! Thanks for this video.
Every single time I drop off the bridge the spikes kill me.
probably you have figured it out, but you have to activate de bridge with a lever before doing that route
@Mittchi lolwut? I'm at SL70 (I wanted to dual wield Demon Axes, didn't work the way I wanted too. lololol) And I have problems getting to 50k souls (even without using them).
What would you say the vast community stays at so I can make a new account to join in bosses/invasions and such? My stuff seems to rarely work.
theres four of them not five. the giant blacksmith in anor londo, blacksmith vamos in the catacombs, blacksmith andrei in the undead parish, and rickert of vinheim in new londo ruins.
It's from Circle Of The Moon on the GBA.
i can't seem to put fire into the silver knight sword can u tell me why?
If I could ask, how far have you upgraded your whip?
@Blissy10 The rats in the Painting world are really good. I literally got 5 humanity back to back just going up the stairs. The ring probably helped though.
"What is a Chosen Undead!" -Throws wine glass-
All weapons can be repaired enchanted or not except crystal weapons.
