- Some say Dark Souls Remastered is hard. Others say its a walk in the park. A tranquil walk of death, that is. I set out on a journey to search for the answer to the question: can you unlock dark souls remastered's hidden “easy” mode? Time to break the game, I guess.

This took far longer than I'd originally planned - stay tuned until the end for a plot twist. Not sure what was going on with the NPC subtitles, I think someone hacked my game. Oh, and the bleeped out word at 16:33 is 'spussy' - you're welcome.
@Luis Martinez Who hurt you?
who need their spussy ate?
@Luis Martinez Who took a shit in your cornflakes? Also how are they not hard? Some fans might exaggerate the difficulty but unless you're some kind of mesiah of gaming you aren't going to have a easy time first couple of times you play.
@Luis Martinez beats minecraft once thinks every game is easy
@Luis Martinez u obliviously watched a sl1 no hit run and said "oh I could do this" and stuck with it
step 1: upgrade strength
step 2: locate great club
step 3: locate attack button
step 4: bonk
B O N K
In alternative
1) Pyromancy flame
2) Limp Bizkit - Break stuff background music 10h version
3) Train goes boom
3)
I find the zwei easier to use.
im way too rusty with the great bonk stick
Same goes for sorcerer, kill hydra, get tree stick and crown, magic ring and you’re a magic god.
Good luck with artorias 😉
Thats how I managed to kill Artorias, Kalameet and Manus xd
"You can skip killing the Asylum Demon by killing the Asylum Demon" - Paraphrasing of course, but still accurate.
Can OP or somebody explain why he reloaded and didn’t just kill the boss with the black fire bombs?
@@PhonesHQ i think it's because the purpose of the run was to kill bosses only by "looking" at them
Actually a new Asylum Demon skip has been found where you don't need to kill it.
@@sirexilon49 yep, club, mace, and axe plunges have all been able to do it so far.
Oh yeah, it's all coming together.
So you’re gonna want to start as a bandit with the Master Key, get the Zweihander, kill Pinwheel as your first boss after Asylum Demon, and reset if he doesn’t drop the Dad mask. I think you know where I’m going with this.
Power up the bass cannon?
@@dstns indeed
I thought GiantDad was totally nerfed into the dirt
@@jonrich6193 not really, you can’t do it at level 99 anymore I don’t think, you have to level up endurance even more, but the build still mostly works and I’m pretty sure it’s still a 3 hit stunlock combo that almost always kills.
@@Slender_Man_186 Pretty sure the build is still the same. Remaster removed dead-angling though so it's even more susceptible to parrying. Back in the PTDE you could unlock and shift the direction of your attack making it unparriable while still hitting your target. Especially with wide sweeping weapons. No longer the case in Remaster.
Dark Souls remastered really makes you FEEL like the cursed undead.
Jack watches Dunky. Patcho doesn't.
Sad to find a new youtuber I like and then find out they can't keep politics out of their mouth. Unsubbed. Bummer.
@@jackdaniell4594🤨
@@jackdaniell4594where was the politics? I agree with you but I didn't get that from this guy
@@2oshow he might mean 1:48, which is also how far i am through the video
For a sec I thought this was gonna be a joke video where he just uses a standard sorcery build to beat the game
Edit: I probably should've watched further into the video before I made that statement
I'll see your standard sorcery build and raise you a broken one
I thought it would be pyromancer
@@BaronsCastle Broken sorcery build is a pleonasm ^^
@@nathanjora7627 Dope word, thanks for that.
"And I spent the rest of my souls on wooden arrows because you'll see"
I know exactly where this is going, and i'm all for it.
"Congrats! You've now entered one of those old MicroMachines games with the terrible controls."
Finally! Someone else who hates top-down racing games as much as I do!
They were awesome.
Micro Machines, Ironman, Death Rally, Rock’n’Roll Racing..
Micro machines on NES was my shit as a kid, we wore that cartridge out to the point it took a 10 minute ritual of blowing and wiggling every time we wanted to play the game!
I thought they were isometric, not top down. lol
@@joshmay2944 instead of doing all that; just place the cartridge as far left as possible. Known pin issue.
@@Leotheleprachaun If only time weren’t linear and he could use that information when he was a child.
haha, last episode I watched you were at like 2k subs, praise the algorythm that you finaly got the views you deserve
He only popped up on my TH-cam recently and I've been subbed to ds tubers for ages
Pretty pfp of precious pony plot.
And yes, great to see this channel taking off.
Yeah I watch loads of dark souls stuff and hadn't heard of him, good content seems like a quieter ZeroLenny.
Yeah he gained like 40k ina month 👌😍
When you put resistance to 75 I was like “haha funny joke”
Then later you cut to your stats and I almost threw up
Same. I thought it was going to be a joke and then cut again later would show those points allocated to something useful. Could have saved having to 'go back to the bank' and cut out at least one of those *dupe* glitch runs.
Edited to add specificity of glitch in *____*
Breaking DS1 in ten minutes
Step 1: Aquire the Zweihander
Step 2: Aquire R2
1) get Zweihander
2) +15
3) profit??
Still on my first playthrough. Found the zwei, learned to time it perfectly for every enemy
Yeah but it's fun
for the people that want the pc inputs of the souls dupe, first of its called the prompt swap, second what you do is get the 999 arrows, do the drop item prompt, set it to max, back out without selecting anything, go to the system menu, and then you have to have your mouse hovered over your inventory and a controller or any second input ready to press quit game, you wanna press quit game and then almost immediatly click inventory at the same time, you dont wanna do them at exactly the same time or it wont work, then you just go down to the soul you want dupe, press your select button on it, hit use selected and go down once to select 999 then boom big souls (sorry if im not very descriptive or accurate)
MY HERO
Yeah.....but the parry dupe still works. Takes longer but it's way easier.
@@Leotheleprachaun it's not hard m8. Takes a minute, the parry dupe glitch was 100x harder to learn and I watched lobos Jr doing it, so I saw the timing but still had to try for 5 minutes or so.
@@psilovecybin5940 wrong parry dupe
Pre-watch: As a dude who recently completed suffering through this game for the first time, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get pretty pissed off at several points in this video for all I missed
Post watch: nothing about easy mode seemed easy.
Also, I complain about my Dark Souls run a lot, but spending 6 hours to get a glitch to activate for a boss fight for a TH-cam video? Dude, thank you.
I assure the first run is always the one that will stick to your memory the most
Go watch ymfah dark souls guide
It’ll have you rolling and shocked
There are many ways to make playing through dark souls “easier”, but no one said learning it is easy.
It’s kind of like any skill. The more you practice, explore and experiment, the more prepared and efficient you are.
That being said, learning to parry can make a lot of enemies suddenly seem less like a threat and more like loot pinatas.
@@Ollybollyk go watch his video and you will understand my comment
@@Ollybollyk imo the easiest is check around firelink and buy the Heal miracle that gives 10 heals after the demon. Not to mention swords morningstar spear shield.
Dude keep up the work! This video feels like you're really grabbing a hold of your channel's personality, and letting it shine. And, somehow you're making unique content from a game everyone's grandma has made a video about. You popped out of nowhere and made some of the best Souls content I've seen on this site. I look forward to seeing where your channel goes. Cheers mate.
You got any links? I want to watch an actual grandma play this
@@silenceburns1336 th-cam.com/video/PZqx-lMZHM0/w-d-xo.html
@@silenceburns1336 Theres an actual grandma who plays skyrim.
Had a feeling it would be either tranquil walk of pain or the channeler moveswap with the dragon greataxe
dude getting easy mode is simple. all you have to do is:
1. play for 600 hours
and thats it
Seriously, all you need to make any of the DS games easy is just a bit of meta knowledge, where the good weapons are, where the upgrade materials are, etc.
All you need is tu upgrade health and stamina early on to 20, the rest is not needed early. Grab the ring from lautrec too, then you're hard to kill. And if you want an easier early, go grab the soul to upgrade your estus in the church + new londo for estus+2. Easy run.
Both of you are wrong. You just need to play without ragequitting every time you die more than once and in 5 to 10 hours you'll be good enough to beat dark souls
@@Slender_Man_186 3 can be tough post dancer*, 2 is pretty tough in the DLC's, 1 really isn't that bad, but the DLC level/enemy set up looks like it's ripped straight out of ds2.
Basic SL1 is pretty hard on 3 too, 2 you can at least run around a while without having to worry but your SM turns into a mess.
@@IrvineTheHunter outside of the hidden Dragon area where Nameless King is, 3 wasn’t hard for me at all. Dancer of course kicked my ass when I tried to kill her in the early game, by the time I was at the proper level though I was able to kill her on my 3rd or 4th try, and I was able to kill most bosses on my very first try, still haven’t died to most them, even ones like. This includes fuckers like Champion Gundyr and Soul of Cinder and even Pontiff, they just didn’t give me trouble, but I tend to handle swordsman bosses really well. I got the DLCs but never actually played them, I just frankly didn’t like DS3 overall.
DS2 was my first but it also the one I’m the most natural in, It kicked my ass but it also hardened me, now it’s much the same as 3, bosses that I know are hard like Raime and Alonne are bosses that I kill on my first attempt even after over a year of not playing.
DS1 was my second game, I killed Asylum Demon on my second try with the broken sword, mainly because I didn’t realize that gate on the left existed, I somehow didn’t die during my very first try at Capra Demon (I was in a pure fucking panic the entire time), accidentally skipped Gaping because the Master Key just sounded like the best starting item, and Quelag was disappointing after how much of a pain in the ass Blighttown was. I admittedly stopped playing at Sens because the clunky as fuck movement and bullshit level design was killing me more than the enemies or bosses were.
Now before you call bullshit, and I completely understand if you do, but I’ll also admit to dying to bosses like Prowling Magus and The Congregation from 2, and the fucking Crystal Sage in 3. That one especially hurt when I saw people online calling him easy. Again, I handle swordsman bosses really well, Dragons and other beast-like bosses aren’t too bad, but fuck casters. I’ve also never done an SL1 run because I don’t hate myself enough, and I haven’t beaten 2 without dying despite it being the Souls game I’m the best at and despite giving it multiple attempts.
Props to you for sticking through the playthrough, you inspired me to hop back on the souls level one playthrough, I feel like I owe it to you man, holy shit congratulations
You're hilarious. Your tone of voice when delivering jokes crack me up, and your videos are genuinely super interesting to watch. You manage to keep them interesting from start to finish despite their length, which is honestly rare these days. So glad I found your channel.
2:52 Lautrec clearly saw your 420 souls and knew he wasn't dank enough, so he let you kick him off a cliff.
Fun fact: Even though the Lingering Dragoncrest ring only works on sorceries, the Bellowing Dragoncrest ring and Dusk crown both work on miracles as well as sorceries. That means 1 King kill is still possible, among other things.
Yes, this is easily achievable even in your first playthrough.
10/10 would recommend.
"It helps if you change your controller grip while doing this, because that way it feels like someone else is doing it for you"
Oh har dee har, I caught that.
Drake the type of dude to say har dee har
@@pepparsYeadrake the type of guy to float when he smells pie.
Title: "can you unlock dark souls easy mode"
sorcery: am i a joke to u?
pyromancer is alot better
@@dragongrandmaster one word Quelaag
@@Theonlyrocx and for sorceries all of seaths library
Dark bead better than pyromancy pretty sure
Using the other spellcaster ring the extra spell power won the crown of Dusk and Logan's catalyst dark Bead literally does 4K damage at 60 int lmao ive never seen any pyro get that high
This a fantastic, fun video. I’ve watched dozens of DS challenge runs and unique playthroughs and I’ve never seen the spell swap used in this way. Thank you for the entertainment and information.
The king has returned
This is like “Tumble Roll” from og DS.
It’s a good way to fight the constant barrage of invisible hacker invaders.
Cast and they cant roll and your friend kills them.
Impressive dedication to a meme run. Great work as always.
so happy to see your sub count skyrocketing man, you deserve all of it, amazing content
Man everything about these videos is great, the jokes, humour, the content all of it is just amazing, can't wait to see your channel get more popular
I'm glad the algorithm seemed to like your miracles video, I've watched all your stuff since. Fun stuff man, keep up the good work!
In case anyone was wondering about how to dupe on PC, do the steps he showed until you get to the brightness menu. Next go left and down on your D-pad (assuming your using a controller) and then press your select button (X for ps4, A i think for xbox controller). Next go to the right and press your select menu again. Next the use menu should show up and then set that to 999 and dupe.
It's called cheat engine
@@st.haborymnah you're getting banned if you use that, soul duping isn't ban-able. It's also easier to do with wooden arrows/bolts
This is 100% the most underrated Souls channel @Baron's Castle you sure are doing a great job with this channel
I appreciate the work that went into this video. For me, a casual with the Platinum, this video is as funny as it is impressive. Activating the drop glitch looks so effortless in the final edit because we don’t see the pain that occoured during the capturing. But you can hear it in his voice. But there is more, the video material capture, the script, the editing. 40 minutes well spent.
Best Dark Souls content I found in 2 Years.
this has to be my favorite video on youtube i was so interested in all the glitches and this introduced me to your channel man hope you do more videos like this 👍
I like how you can see how Baron improved his tumble buff skills by noting the soul arrow count when he does it (failing the buff means you cast one soul arrow instead).
For me this is already quite funny as I was playing Dark Souls Remastered and did my fair share of complaining
Edit:Now I know what I need to do to make my playthrough like a skyrim one, break the game because I can't be bothered and I want the feeling of knowing how far I can push the games limit. Thanks Baron
There are many game breaking glitches that are much easier. Strength/DeX(also known as quality build) build, souls dupe, with BKH is the REAL easy mode. Dump the rest of the souls into vitality and endurance as you see fit.
The soul dupe also works on DS remastered for the switch. You just gotta put the soul on the top slot, then select 999 wooden arrows, then go to settings and press R1 an instant after you select brightness withought releasing B. Then you press down and right on the d pad at the exact same time, hit B, and youll get the option to use 999
Thanks
What does he mean by "Exit out without selecting anythiing" though? I'm stuck on that menu and all I can do is drop the arrows or cancel
Press the cancel button on the controller probably. Or just close the menu entirely.
@@flamingdeathbanana just hit circle to go back
B& did a one shot only run as well but it didn't rely on twod as much. Great video, keep up the good work.
Just discovered this video. Pure comedy as you learn something new. Gained a new subscription my guy. Keep it up.
Always good to see another northener on my feed!
great job mate! love your narration. you definitely deserve more subs and views
Excellent video!! I've watched basically all your videos and I loved this one. Keep up the good work!
I’ve just watched through all of your videos. Really good content and a great sense of humor. Looking forward to more uploads!
I love how the funky leg thing at the bonfire near Quelaag made it to the remaster
Heyyy, it ended up getting uploaded before
*'The Heat Death of the Universe!'*
Good stuff, I binged almost all the rest of the videos on this channel the day I found it, so I'm happy to see a nice thicc 40 minute video.
All your edits are so good man. You seriously deserve so many more subs.
Im blown away by this channels growth man. Basically overnight. Love ya vids. Keep em comin
Love these videos. It's even harder to play it like this. But it's a fun way.
If you pull of the soul dupe you may go full op build after the second Boss.
Hidden easy mode for me was havels armor + iron flesh + big ass sword.
I just go Giant Dad.
@@Slender_Man_186
Giant Dad sucks though, just pick up Combustion, buy the Bellowing Dragon Ring, and slap on Dusk's Crown. Gg, and you didn't even have to make yourself look like a Redditor in the process
I cannot wait to see what crazy antics you do next!
i love ur narrative and humor
u got a new subscriber!
much love!
Your script is so good, I love how you phrase things! Also excellent music choices : D
Do you know the name of the one in the first thirty seconds I've heard it before and can't seem to remember the name
@@memematerial8112 I’m so sorry but I do not. Sounds like jrpg music, doesn’t it?
It really does
Finally, the Next Big Thing™ youtuber gave us a new content. From 1.6K subs to almost 29K in the span of one video release cycle holy shit
Dude your videos are so awesome! Also I'm addicted now so you may now not ever stop making them.... please.
Great video man, loving your content!
5:55 there's a version of the glitch that works on all platforms. Go to the drop dialog for 999 arrows, move your soul to the top slot (not second from top this time), and do the brightness menu overlay as shown. Now hit A or equivalent, and you should see the use/drop/change order menu pop up behind the brightness menu. Press down and right at the same time, and the cursor should move to defaults without the cursor on the item menu moving. Now hit A, and Bob's your uncle.
Dark knight sword in undead burg is unlockable kind of early and works pretty good too as an "easy mode"
Man you’re a fabulous and funny man, great work man! You make everyone’s day
Nothing about this seems like an easy mode. Also, that ending was absolutely inspiring. I can't offer much, but your determination deserves a like, a subscription, and way more.
so glad you’re uploading again we need more
Tumble buff stone sword is completely broken, but it's incredibly hard to do.
I absolutely have to shout you out on your music choices, persona, dragon quest, it’s all perfect
I really appreciate all the Atelier music you use. Don't see enough love for all the banging tunes from that series.
I've got to say it, the song that plays at min 10 is called " Bella Ciao " and it's a super comunist Italian song XD, as an Italian every time you play it it's pretty funny ahahah
Più anti fascista che comunista, almeno io la sento di più associata ai partigiani che a comunisti
Cool video. I like to see growth of our lovely dark souls community. Fingers cross for rumors to be truth about Bloodborne for PC and BB 2 development. ;))
Damn impressive mate. Especially that ending. Much respect!
hell yes was waiting on a new vid from you
Great video as always mate!
One question though, do the glitches/exploits you used in the run work in the OG prepare to die edition?
Edit: for consoles specifically
Believe it or not, I've never actually played PTD edition - I think all the skips work, there are ways to dupe souls/items and buff unbuffable weapons in the OG but they're different to the remastered version - for the spell swap, you can do something called tumblebuffing in PTD. Its a similar principle, but instead of falling off a ledge you do it while rolling, there are plenty of guides on it around.
@@BaronsCastle
Thanks, I'll look around.
Good luck with whatever is next!
@@internetstranger_ with the original DaS:PTD you can use items infinitely, you need the dragon head from down the great hollow. You roll of a ledge use an empty estus flask then trade to the soul then use fire breath and the soul will pop for every tick of fire you breath.
You'll find guides on Reddit or whatever, must of been 5 years ago I was doing it
@@Guitar-Dog
Thank you very much!
I'll make sure to try it out.
@@Guitar-Dog why not parry and quick-bar use-item? Way easier dupe and you don't need the dragon stones.
Absolute props for going back and killing those DLC bosses.
Fucking immense video, mate. What a fantastic idea for a run. Watching the bosses just get absolutely melted is so satisfying.
Play footage of my favorite game, with BGM from my second favorite game?
I'm sold.
This is so much easier on prepare to die since you can just roll swap to buff anywhere anytime.
Guy is criminally underrated. You’re hilarious dude keep up the good work
Praise the algorithm for showing me this channel love what you've done so far
I absolutely love this sarcastic British narration, your amazing voice and impeccable attitude have earned you one more sub, and hopefully many more
Can't wait to see what you come up for when Elden Ring comes out
I’d recommend trying a weapon art only run for dark souls one, from what Ive seen, it’s possible with the R2 of certain weapons like the golem axe
Awesome video Baron. Keep it up
I was waiting for this my man❤️
That funky leg thing is so funny, remember spending 15 mins laughing at it..
Shout out to when you stand on stairs and one foot slides between 2 levels
19:20 ah yes i to am a fan of the large lady’s curtains
I like the use of Radiant Historia music in this, went well with the last few minutes of the video
I love your vids bro. You’re too underrated.
me: "oh this video is great, i can finally beat easy mode dark souls"
*he kills solaire*
me: dislike
There is actually an easy mode already in the base game from the start. It's called "sorcerer."
What a superior amount of work and dedication!
Yay!!! A new vid!!! Love ur content bro, keep it coming pls and thx
This is how I beat almost all games.
The fun I get out of most games is going spreadsheet crazy and then doing a single run-through with the most optimal build I can get ahold of.
35:52 timed PERFECTLY
Holy snot ur channel is popping off!
Just found your channel, love it!!
38:52 Watch how soon the numbers stop ticking down. He literally dealt just barely enough damage to bring him down. Cut it closer than Greirat there.
hey man, my long term gf just broke up w me and i’m on youtube to try to distract myself. thanks for the distraction!
You're welcome! Keep your head up and dont you dare go hollow
I love this video dude, it’s just so funny!
So glad you helped us all by finding this "easy mode"
Bad way to make the game easy:
1. Rush to the artorias of the abyss dlc somehow
2. Cheese your way through the dlc and abuse a glitch that allows you to get down to the chasm of the abyss before you should
3. Get dark bead
4. Win as a games journalist
00:30:00
This is where my phone died. I’ll be back later to fini
Man honestly its sad to see you only have 38k subs, you deserve alot more... Great content :)
Seems like i was right :D
Cheers for the vids, mate; absolute class :) Strong new fan, here (y)
