Yooo that running down the catacombs was an absolute mission lol thank God I made a back up by uploading my save to the cloud and re downloading it after my many deaths attempting it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trying to get the Skull Lantern was nothing short of a nightmare. It took me forever to get past the dark area after the boss but in the end I was unable to avoid being kicked down by Patches to where the items are. I am gonna continue forward despite being unsuccessful in avoiding Patches like you suggested. I hope being kicked by Patches doesn't affect the guide in any way.
Went too far ahead in the catacombs and hugged the right wall like you said after Patches, went too far and got mauled by a four-legged skeleton. Lost the 10k+ souls. Wish I could've gotten a warning.
Wow great way to dispatch the boss... Running up the stairs is intuitive but that lowered edge at the top of the stair? Would NEVER have known, thanks man. Always struggled with how cheap that trap is if you can't get up the stairs quick and make a quick turn-around stand to dispatch those mutts. Fkn gangster tip. Noice!
Honestly just start the game again. It aint that difficult and doesnt take that long to get back here ring of fog is key to an easy game. Thats what id do. up to you though
Thank you pal, I got 95% achievement in steam.I have no idea about knight honor.I will follow you until the end of this path. I have played for 500+ hours But I still died for keeping the lantern.This way in the early game is so hard.normally I came here when I have a helmet that can produce the light .
Demonic Guy 500 hours thats insane didnt think their was that much gameplay in the game. But yeah this entire guide will get you knights honor very easily.
Hi! So...for the trophies of all sorceries,miracles and rare weapons, do you need to get all of those of the base game or does the DLC Artorias weapons and sorceries count as well? Nice tutorial btw
Lance Vance oh ok,nice, yeah it’s weird and a relief at the same time,i remember how to get everything in the base game but i never played the DLC until now, thank you :)
Hi Retro thank you for your guides, Question, you say kindle the bonfire once but I have now 15 humanity on my counter because i helped some people, can i kindle the bonfire more? what do you advise or just fuck it, thanks
*scoff* Excuse me but I defeated Gwyn once like 4 years ago, I don't think I need to watch your run through the Tomb of the Giants several times. I know what I'm doing ~20 deaths later~ GOT THE SKULL LANTERN!
Its worth it shame I can't give you a guide with me not using the ring of fog to show you how much harder it is. Essentially the toxic dart guys in blighttown will shoot you from a mile a way you will get toxic a lot and the boulder guys will do nothing but throw boulders. Imagine a world where you only aggro one enemy at a time thats what makes it so good you never get gangs of enemies trying to kill you.
Just farm them from the rats in the depths if you need more. You only need humanity in the early game for summoning an npc to a boss dont use them just cause i am in human form.
Can i play without the ring of fog till the point we return to the area and the char is stronger? Lost 17k souls, and cant reach the lantern, too fucking dark. Is it still possible to follow that guide without the ring?
17k souls is what I lost, I saved at that bonfire down in the catacombs because having to keep going back and forth was annoying. The ring helps and is worth a little soul farming lol
Hello im sure that i got the skull lantern but when i check my inventory i dont see it. I go back twice and check and there was no skull lantern or any other item. Please help me
so, I ran down and patches kicked me off, a small cutscene played. He kicked me down to the items. Can I just continue or did I screw everything up? I couldn't see and then all of a sudden patches kicked me off, ugh
KraljHD you really just want 15 intelligence and 28 faith. You can go for 16 dexterity if you want to use the great scythe which is the best weapon. Butyeah you want about 40 vitality and anything over 27 with the endurance. The other stats are useless such as strength because you will be using lightning weapons which dont require strength.
Why not just get the Gravelord Sword while your down in the catacombs? It's better than the drake sword and can be used for the whole game if you want plus you get the trophy for the covenant being unlocked
The reason you dont get the trophy now is well this guide does the optimal route and getting the trophy is a 10 to 15 mimute detour that you can just do later when your actually going to do the area. The trophy can wait.
No it doesn't, and I literally just beat the whole game using it at +4, made a new character to get the Platinum figured now that there is a new soul dupe glitch upgrading strength to 24 is no problem and can still follow your guide
I have tried several walkthroughs and this is the best by far! Thanks so much!
Paused at 9:04. About to pick up that item so far done EXACTLY as you have in the videos. So far so good. Thanks for the videos Retro.
Yooo that running down the catacombs was an absolute mission lol thank God I made a back up by uploading my save to the cloud and re downloading it after my many deaths attempting it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i should have done that
that is smart

Unable to avoid being kicked down by Patches? It's very easily avoided by not interacting with him or going past him to the ledge
DAMN GETTING THE SKULL LANTERN WAS HARD LOL
Thank for another episode!
Went too far ahead in the catacombs and hugged the right wall like you said after Patches, went too far and got mauled by a four-legged skeleton. Lost the 10k+ souls. Wish I could've gotten a warning.
10k ain't no thing and now you know.

I spent the past hour trying to get that skull lantern. Now when I logged out to get the ring it disappeared and I got nothing.
Thank you Dark Souls
Honestly just start the game again. It aint that difficult and doesnt take that long to get back here ring of fog is key to an easy game. Thats what id do. up to you though
I agree with You. The ring of fog it is amazing and very underrated.
Thank you pal, I got 95% achievement in steam.I have no idea about knight honor.I will follow you until the end of this path.

500 hours is ridiculous and not having all the achievements, do you leave your game on or something? lol
running into the catacombs with skeletons was insane! and then another mask fell out of my boss. I hope it's not a problem. it was fun anyway.
Why would a random item drop be a problem?
I am watching this in preparation for actually doing it and the ring of fog run is giving me anxiety.
You can do it! :D
Awesome guide. Thanks.
Thanks to u i got stuck there for ages haha, but thank you anyways
was the npc at 26:50 important cuz I hit her on accident
I died with the boss and didn't get the rite of kindling, is that bad?
I think after the boss (as beginner) should back to bonfire and use all souls. Died so many times until I got the lantern :(
yeees thank you Brother
8:30 "INCREASES" --> "REDUCES"?
You can say either can't you to increase a range means the range at which they aggro is increased
the range at which they aggro being increased would also mean they see you from farther away. I noticed this too lol, it should be decrease
Hi!
So...for the trophies of all sorceries,miracles and rare weapons, do you need to get all of those of the base game or does the DLC Artorias weapons and sorceries count as well?
Nice tutorial btw
Lance Vance oh ok,nice, yeah it’s weird and a relief at the same time,i remember how to get everything in the base game but i never played the DLC until now, thank you :)
Sleepy Also can confirm, got all the pyromancies and sorc. No need for dlc
Hi Retro thank you for your guides, Question, you say kindle the bonfire once but I have now 15 humanity on my counter because i helped some people, can i kindle the bonfire more? what do you advise or just fuck it, thanks
Y S yes kindle more if your counter has more.
*scoff* Excuse me but I defeated Gwyn once like 4 years ago, I don't think I need to watch your run through the Tomb of the Giants several times. I know what I'm doing ~20 deaths later~ GOT THE SKULL LANTERN!
didn't get the rite of kindling trophy?
Can't find that 3 items dont see them anywhere close to pqtches
I died to many time to get this lantern I hope it's worth it
Its worth it shame I can't give you a guide with me not using the ring of fog to show you how much harder it is.

I have 5 humanity stones left how much do I need for next part I am at the dark room I was all most at the bottom then Skelton got me
Just farm them from the rats in the depths if you need more. You only need humanity in the early game for summoning an npc to a boss dont use them just cause i am in human form.
Thanx I just bought all the souls games because of you lol
Why use the claymore and not the black knight halberd? Is this essential to the guide? Jw ik I prolly wont get a response so late
scaling I think
Can i play without the ring of fog till the point we return to the area and the char is stronger? Lost 17k souls, and cant reach the lantern, too fucking dark.

9:30 reminder for myself
Hello im sure that i got the skull lantern but when i check my inventory i dont see it. I go back twice and check and there was no skull lantern or any other item.
Please help me
It's equipment like a shield/sword etc not an item
I wonder why he didn’t do the lautric quest you miss items if you don’t do it and you can revive the fire keeper again so why
Everything is for a reason..
so, I ran down and patches kicked me off, a small cutscene played. He kicked me down to the items. Can I just continue or did I screw everything up? I couldn't see and then all of a sudden patches kicked me off, ugh
At about 4:50 section of this video.
I didn't talk to him, I was just trying to find the ledge to drop down to the 3 items, then a cutscene played and he kicked me off
Chris Olson just continue patches kicking you off is fine. Ignore patches just get the skull lantern.
Yo I got kicked off the ledge by patches to where the skull lantern is. Does that affect my game much?
It should not affect anything if you just keep going afterwards.
@@Retro471 thanks for replying. On part 10 atm. Been enjoying the guide so far.
Hey retro, how are end game stats supposed to look like? If my vitality is at 40 and endurance 30
KraljHD you really just want 15 intelligence and 28 faith. You can go for 16 dexterity if you want to use the great scythe which is the best weapon. Butyeah you want about 40 vitality and anything over 27 with the endurance. The other stats are useless such as strength because you will be using lightning weapons which dont require strength.
Why do you start using the Claymore +5 if it is still worse than the drake sword? Not sure if I missed something.
Andrew Hardy because of scaling
I keep dying and lose humanity that I have
I think that affects the play through badly right ?
Nah you're fine
you mean decreases aggro range for ring of fog?
Yeah sorry depends on what way you look at it though 😅
Did you delete the videos from the first platinum tutorial?
Bruno LG Yes, but I started following the old ones and these are the same. He is even cutting the videos at the same point.
i accidentally killed Griggs of Vinheim will that effect anything
Yes you need him you should probably restart from the beggining not to worry its only part 4.
Can't find part 5
Its there
This is the 4 time tó fall off giant tömb its little anoying by the way 17 k soul off oc course
Will mmm patches died .... what should i do .?
xHxa hexes did you you pick up his weapon cause thats all you need for platinum.
Retro_Compilations what’s the name of his weapon ?
Can I summon that npc against pinwheel?
Glock9ine you can but it makes the boss have double health but you can.
I did. He was still super easy. Thanks.
24:16
Why not just get the Gravelord Sword while your down in the catacombs? It's better than the drake sword and can be used for the whole game if you want plus you get the trophy for the covenant being unlocked
Tom Boyle cause you just are not at a high enough level and theres better weapons the halberd for instance is better.
Also pretty sure that sword loses you health when you hold it. Plus its just bad lol.
The reason you dont get the trophy now is well this guide does the optimal route and getting the trophy is a 10 to 15 mimute detour that you can just do later when your actually going to do the area. The trophy can wait.
No it doesn't, and I literally just beat the whole game using it at +4, made a new character to get the Platinum figured now that there is a new soul dupe glitch upgrading strength to 24 is no problem and can still follow your guide
@@Balrog124 then make your own guide and don't be such a nerd, jack@ss
Idiot me dropped the item at the wrong nest. Now it’s gone. I guess I have to live with that don’t I?
