      iirc, i tried to but there’s a wall that extends way above the fog wall for whatever reason. i can double check here in a couple hours and confirm

      i just tested it and it turns out you’re right. you can’t throw items over the fog wall (the hit box extends to the ceiling), but you can throw items off to the left of the fog wall over the cracked portion of the broken pillar. she doesn’t take fire damage, so you can’t use firebombs, but you can arc a throwing knife to just barely hit her. you have to reposition yourself after every throw, but it is doable

    You can softlock by joining a world where the host closes the game while you're in the loading screen. You'll immediately return to your own world but sometimes you'll spawn in the air, die, respawn in their again etc. Infinite inescapable death loop

    I'm a bit fuzzy on the details of the mechanics involved, so don't know for sure if this could work, but I wonder if you could softlock yourself in the Archives prison cell. My theory is that you max out your inventory before getting sent there, so the key needed for leaving can't be picked up and drops on the floor instead. Then quit and reload to despawn it/get it sent to the Firelink Shrine chest. NGPlus's alphabetical boss order video uses the inventory trick with the Purple Coward's Crystal, and it feels like it should work here as well.

      @@picklejho69 Sure, I can fight my way out of the catacombs with a broken straight sword these days, you're missing the point.

    I don't know if this was escapable or not, since I am inexperienced in glitching DS1. But one time I got softlocked ( stuck could be the better term) in the catacombs, in Vamos' bonfire because I skipped turning the second bridge and rested in said bonfire, and after killing pinwheel I realized that it was impossible (for me) to escape the catacombs.
    I ended up installing a mod to warp to firelink and uninstalling it right after.

    It feels a bit untrue to call it a softlock if you have to purposefully manipulate the game to even be locked by these. A normal player will never do 99% of these skips which are all simply glitches. A better title for this video is: "Can you softlock Dark Souls? (With non-accidental purposeful glitches)" but that's kinda long for a title. Overall, still a neat video and I'm subscribed.
