  • The final part of the crystal-only challenge run in Dark Souls Remastered!
    At this point in the run our power level is quite high so it's more of a themed run than a challenge - interestingly the beginning of the run was much harder and more complex than the ending. I really enjoyed replaying dark souls remastered, it's been amazing to see everyone else enjoying it as well!

    I will always remember my first vagrant encounter. It was my first playthrough and my friend was telling me where to go. I climbed the tower in the taurus demon boss room and there it was, right behind one of the hollows. It killed me instantly with that ranged attack. I thought it was a normal enemy until my friend told me that he had never seen it before in his original playthrough.

    I had a Vagrant in my first playthrough as well which was an enormous surprise as I knew them to be extremely rare. There's been an effort by the community to help increase the spawn rates of these enemies by dropping items around the world as you play that eventually turn into Drift Bags. If you have a Drift Bag spawn in your game and leave it alone long enough it can pass on to another person's world where it might eventually turn into a Vagrant.

    8:00 if you go on the right, jump over the lava, there is a small area which is more open for the player to confront the Sentipede Demon. You will take enough damage but if you manage to jump at the right time (it´s not that difficult) you will survive. Just don´t forget to drink an Estus afterwards.

    I know that you already finished this run, but:
    slumbering dragoncrest ring is your friend, if you wear that Seath can't hear you since he's blind, so you can attack him from anywhere and he'll just blindly attack trying to hit you.
    It also works for avoiding Nito's giant buddies they don't aggro when you wear the ring. You can go further into the boss arena than just the front door.
