One of the craziest things about being a dark souls fan is that I already knew every single step that he would take in the video, yet it's still entertaining and fun to watch all of that. And i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one
11:19 A more reliable way to deal with the knights is to hit them with a couple poison arrows. You can find places on the buttress leading up to them where their arrows will hit the metal spikes and not pass through to you. It can be a bit tricky to aim, but once you get them poisoned, you just have to wait a few mins for them to drop dead.
Thank you! I just beat Gwyn and it was so easy thanks to your guide. I made a strength build so I went with the zeihander for the first part of the game until I was able to use Demon’s Greataxe, which was even better. The worst part was having to farm 30 humanity with the rats cause I just hate farming. But other than that, I was able to enjoy the game thanks to making good choices
Best strategy for sliver knight archers is to run at the first one, get him to melee mode and then run back and down the support beam. This causes him to run at you and has like a 90% chance of him falling.
On my first playthrough right now, and I just beat s&o. I literally just fought the archer on the right and beat him the first time lol. Wasn't that bad.
If you don’t get the halberd I’d recommend trying to get the greatsword from a different knight since it scales better and still does amazing damage at the cost of speed.
if you can't get a black knight weapon you fancy, the gravelord sword is reliable to get, just pop down catacombs & remember pick up the eyes of death behind the prowling demon. it does comparable damage to the black knight weapons & has much less stat investment.
Hey Lewis.I love your videos and this one especially made me go through dark souls without facing a lot of its bullshit it has to offer.I've been stuck on bloodborne for over a year playing an hour at a time from month to month and i just get lost every single time i come back to it.Would you please bring the "series" back and do a video on bloodborne too? Love you have a wonderful day
Whenever I actually commit to playing souls games, I'll come back yo this video lol. The thing is, I enjoy having an op character, but I also find it a must to kill every enemy.
Trust me, you are not going to kill every enemy. The game purposely sends you towards areas with enemies that you will struggle immensely with killing until later on, forcing you to run past them. This idea is sortve taught when you fight Taurus Demon (first boss) as the enemy placement is terrible (purposely, probably) to get to the fight but if you move around juuuust right, you can avoid them.
you could make it even easier using gaint's armor +5 and grass crest shield for more staimna regen and havel ring so yo roll faster, then upgrade endurance with the rest of your souls to get fast roll, use gravelord sword 2 handed on gwyn because it stuns him every 2 hits, hit twice wait for stun to finish then hit twice again so you stun lock gwyn easily
This video is designed for people that have already played. People that have already played know how to make easy mode. You should make a video for people that haven't played.
Actually i used this video on my first playthrough and massively helped to advance through game, i only used it whenever i was stuck or didn't knew what to do next
I refrained from using the black Knight halberd because I knew it was busted and had a much more challenging and fun experience with the Silver Knight Straight sword and dlc tracer weapons
You could've finished the guide at "grab the Black Knight Halberd" 😅 Alternatively, the player can grab the Zweihander on the graveyard near Firelink Shrine. Easy mode without relying on RNG.
I am that kind of person who needs a lot of help, especially with these games, give me an RPG or a strategy game and I am ok soulslike games just frustrate me.
at first legit thought "yk what i dont want to play dark souls cuz its pretty complicated" but i was fucking wrong played it like 2 years ago and now im trying to finish elden ring. souls series are the best, can you do a "how to beat elden ring on easy mode"? that would be great, thanks!!
For bed of chaos there's an even easier method that uses fire bombs to destroy the two orbs from the safe spot in the middle then you book it towards the bug. Only downside is this can only be done on the first attempt and the fire attacks can hit you if you're trying to hit the second orb
The principles of Dark Souls difficulty can easily be remembered through this handy nursery rhyme: 🎵 You put your levels in Intelligence, you put your levels out of Dex. You put your levels in Intelligence and you shake your catalyst about. You spam your magic from a distance and summon players to take aggro. That's what Easy Mode's about. 🎶
9:40 …DUDE.. SUDDENLY ARIA OF SORROW CASTLE CORRIDOR MUSIC. LEWIS PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON CASTLEVANIA GAMES! You have AMAZING tastes! Well, even more evidence.
@@Droooooo0 the black knight halberd is one of if not the greatest weapon in ds1 very powerful and amazing moveset plus can be aquired nearly instantaneously starting the game very common weapon for speedruns and such
Great video! This helped everyone, no matter if they were the best at the game or they were 5 year old. Are you gonna start playing minecraft any time soon?
Fyi if you absolutely despise the silver knights in Anor Londo. Just shoot them with 2 poison arrows each and hide from them. They will slowly die to poison, in the mean time go make a tea. :)
I just watched a 17 minute video on how to play Dark Souls on easy mode even though I already beat it with a terrible divine zweihander build... twice.
I like how people say elden ring is too hard because there's so many ways to cheese enemies and bosses yet all the other games also have multiple OP ways to cheese the entire game lmao
One of the craziest things about being a dark souls fan is that I already knew every single step that he would take in the video, yet it's still entertaining and fun to watch all of that. And i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one
yeah it was the same for me
Highly agree. Im one of those people that never gets bored of doing the same routine in this game.
You never finished your series and then came back out of nowhere with this absolute banger
Bro got the new camera angle on the "PolarSaurusRex" channel and not just the "Green Tea Lewis" Channel 💀
💀💀💀
Bro reminds me of Eren Yeager💀💀💀
A 17 minute Lewis video on Dark Souls, it doesn’t get any better
shit game
That Crash WoC medieval theme goes with anything.
I love that not only is this decently in depth on the bosses but also the various levels as well. What a well rounded video
That wizards and lizards ost playing with gaping dragon section in the video is a perfection, reminded me of an old video though😂😂😂
Man the bo2 music in the background is so nostalgic

It's great to see someone on this website just making content that they love
Never thought i will hear RE4 serenity followed by crash wrath of cortex castle theme. Nice choice lewis.
These sets are absolutley incredible it's amazing how far Lewis has come
You can also get the soul of a fire keeper in the new londo ruins early in the game, this makes the strength of your estus stronger.
amazing guide!! i’m finally ab to beat the game after buying it a long time ago and rage quitting many times bc i didn’t know wtf i was doing lol

I did this by accident my first time and I made the mistake of going for an attack so it lunged me and I fell down with him lol
On my first playthrough right now, and I just beat s&o. I literally just fought the archer on the right and beat him the first time lol. Wasn't that bad.
I used fog ring and then dragonkiller arrow for 3 shots and then knight fell off the ledge
Hope you make more of these type of videos this one is a banger
hey Lewis, I loved the bgm
I can’t believe ur almost at a million man. It seems like yesterday you was at 10k. You are a goat!!!!!!

people say "this game has no artificial difficulty slider." which is demonstrably false.
it is all a matter of what numbers are assigned to what.
When the flood music started playing it triggered my fight or flight.
I’ve been wanting some new dark souls from Lewis for a while now
These sets are incredible, it’s insane how far lewie has come!!
Dead meme
Also username checks out

Yeah I don’t really care lol
you never fail to entertain me once again.

please make this a series!
I absolutely love your vids, keep up the amazing content!!❤️
How did this video only manage to get this amount of views? It definitely deserves more
Got this on accident on my first play through & completely steam rolled the rest of the game
Ahhh the Boos haunted mansion theme from Mario Party 8, a man of taste I see
Whenever I actually commit to playing souls games, I'll come back yo this video lol.

my fav youtuber
Lewis please bring back the DS series or the Bloodborne one, it would be so good
He said he would play Bloodborne whenever it gets a remaster, performance boost or a pc port.
frrr
I’m gonna watch it even though I’m never gonna play this game
Mad respect for the Lewis that crossed the Grand Canyon. That looked absolutely terrifying and his bravery is admiring!

can you explain the joke pls

You can cheese ceaseless discharge by going back to the fog wall and make him jump off
Kind of coincidence that both Polar and Charlie uploaded a video in less than 5 mins
Dang sorry Lewis no one watched this banger
I wasn’t even able to kill the tutorial boss. That’s how far my progress is in Dark Souls
What do you think about Halo TV series?
yes
I’m not sure if you’d consider it Lewis but we’d love to see a day in the life of yourself
Instead of farming you could just do the 999 arrow soul dupe glitch and max yourself out right at the beginning of the game
I just watched a 17 minute video on how to play Dark Souls on easy mode even though I already beat it with a terrible divine zweihander build... twice.
shiiping out brothers over seas challenge
The hat you are wearing. Is it available armour in an Dark Souls game!? It looks cool
You beat DS only break the disk in 2 parts like I did!
Change the camera angle back to the original 😭😭😭 and bring minecraft back I loved those
Subbed.
This is easy but you forgot one thing:
Sorcery
Step 1: get zweihander
Step 2: profit
lewis could you reupload the dark souls review from the green tea Lewis channel
can you continue your dark souls series on your second channel since you have not made a video on the series for nesrly a year now
Hello Lewis
..or just go to the catacombs at the start of the game, get the Scytche, Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddd and gg.
How come u get such a low view count? I really wish you’d get more recognition honestly 😢.
I got the Halberd first try (:
I like how people say elden ring is too hard because there's so many ways to cheese enemies and bosses yet all the other games also have multiple OP ways to cheese the entire game lmao
i really wanted this video
The problem with dark souls is there's many reasons to start a new game again. Wish oswald had more abilities so you wouldn't have too.
luv u
If you're one of the people who asked for easy mode... I feel bad for you.
Fully expected this to be a joke video, probably should've checked the length but so be it.
are you still buying spacex?
