      @@FeaturedPixel you give up to easily and you have no patience, surprised someone like you is even playing this game.

      ​@@fluttershystayshigh4202 You're surprised that "someone like him is even playing" because he doesn't want to take "a hundred tries" learning speedrun strats for the sake of a "ten minute" strategy to get a weapon in a game where weapons don't matter that much? If you need to expend that much effort following a guide that closely, for the sake of the effing Great Scythe of all things, don't you think it's fair to say that it's more surprising /you're/ the one playing a game like Dark Souls? Play however you like but there's no reason to insult him, mate. It's a great and interesting vid but OP's point is perfectly valid.

      If you wanted to skip the jump you could totally just grab Zweihander before heading to Pinwheel and Vamos. You could probably level up enough to two hand it with the left over souls.

      Small tip for newcommers: Pick black firebombs as a gift, or run for them to the undead burg chest. They are really good against those lantern guys :) And can last you through multiple tries. Also don't forget to put on your ring of sacrifice after the boss fight. Don't wanna lose the souls. :)

    I remember on one of my first playthroughs, I lucked out and got a black knight sword(not the greatsword) from like the very first black knight you encounter as you naturally progress through the areas. I think by the time I first met andre I had enough twinkling titanite to take it to +3 pretty much by the time I had the stats to use it effectively and yeah that definitely felt overpowered lol. Didn't mind it one bit though. I need to play through Dark Souls 1 again, it's been too long.

      Really though, it's just a nifty little trick that can be used that I came across by chance. The way I see it, any new gameplay mechanic that hasn't already been discovered is good to know, practical or not.

    Are you serious? Better strat is to savescum a black knight sword (or halberd if you're doing PVE only), get the grass crest shield and elite knights, and upgrade your weapon with the twinkling titanite you get from the crystal lizards you can find in the burg and in the grassroot basin. Add in a quick havel's and a FaP ring and you've got yourself sorted, much better than a wimpy little fire weapon.

    • @SALordBaxter
      @SALordBaxter 10 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Daiyuki117 Wouldn't even need ten to get the sword, all you have to do is get through the burg and donk the black knight with the help of the lightning pine resin and congratulations you've got a weapon that's better than a freaking +5 fire whatever. You could probably get the black knight sword, havels, 4 twinkling titanite, grass crest shield, elite knights, and FaP ring in ten minutes, and that gives you a much better weapon, plus armor which this strat doesn't provide.
      Might give it a shot to see how viable it is actually.

      The scythe has a long range and can can dead angle well in PVP. It's also got a long recovery time if you miss, and +5 fire is nowhere near as good as a +1 or +2 black knight sword. Video says OP in ten minutes, I say that you can be even more OP in a shorter or equal amount of time.

    • @Ayriak
      @Ayriak  10 ปีที่แล้ว +265

      Baxter There are several different methods to obtain overpowered equipment early in the game, and while a lot of them do offer stronger weapons than a Fire Great Scythe +0, there are a couple of reasons I still believe this is a method worth using. Firstly because the Great Scythe is a guaranteed weapon, the ascension material is also in place, as is the source of souls. The only real requirement in doing this, is don't die and lose those souls. Also, doing this isn't achieved by the same means as luring a Black Knight into some kind of cheap fall death, which let's face it, doesn't really help a player learn the mechanics of the game.
      As I mentioned, there are several methods in which an overpowered weapon (for so early in the game) can be obtained. The Gravelord Sword seems to be one that's mentioned quite often, so I'll use that as an example. I'm able to obtain that weapon and use it two-handed in just over 6 minutes and 5 seconds, and one-hand it in less than 8 minutes and 30 seconds from title screen. More powerful? Marginally (265 physical against 130/130 physical/fire). Harder to run and requires skill? Not really.

    This video may be ancient, but with the Remaster coming out, one thing I'd add for beginners is that there's a Ring of Sacrifice on the aqueduct you walk through to get to Undead Burg. Getting that and resting at the bonfire before the Catacombs can take the stress out of the post-Pinwheel run, as if you die with it on you can just spend the souls at the bonfire without the risk of losing them.

Especially since Dark Souls is such a glorious masterpiece of an RPG. I've seen a few of my friends who would have fled from Dark Souls stay just because they got a little help in the start.

      ***** no reason to hate on the drake sword, you can use it to save titanite when you get the weapon you actually want to use, early game.
      Makes killing the Black Knights a lot easier when you only have to parry/backstab them two or three times and thus saves you time if you need the 16 str anyways.

    If you're already in Catacombs, why not just go for Gravelord Sword? It comes with a absolutely free miracle, too, and if you start as a bandit you only need seven levels to use the sword and miracle. That being said, I realize that Great Scythe has way better scalings and such, but you could use this method to setup for a faith/str build.
    I'm mostly saying this since Pinwheel doesn't give as many souls any more, so my method seems quicker and cheaper for some actually higher damage.

    • @thesacredbeast2000
      @thesacredbeast2000 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i think if you are running a dex build you may as well grab the scythe but the gravelord sword is probably the better choice for quick runs/non planned builds. this method is really dumb now since pinwheel got nerfed.
      a better early overpower run would probably be starting wanderer or warrior investing early stats in 16 strength , then running down and grabbing the gls, leaving nito's tomb through the coffin and going straight to pinwheel and killing him for a mask, then i dunno go kill quelaag and ceaseless for some easy levels

    Another very powerful weapon you can get early is the Zweihander, which is in the graveyard too; once upgraded to +10, it makes the whole graveyard trip a pure cakewalk, one-shotting regular skelettons and two-shotting the bigger ones. It has a Strength requirement of 24 to be wielded in one hand, but you can two-hand it without penalty with just 16 of Strength.

    @thesimsdreamer 8 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    That was great, except it's a poor use of the Great Scythe to make it a Fire weapon, unless you plan to convert it back to Normal at blacksmith Andre. The Great Scythe has scaling B, and upgraded to 14/15 has A, with dexterity. This fact, plus the weapon's reach and bleed effect, make it one of, if not the best dex weapons of the game; but elemental ascension (to fire, chaos, or lightning), loses the scaling. If you are going for a pure sorcery or miracle build, the Great Scythe will instead scale great with Intelligence or Faith when ascended to Magic/Enchanted or Divine/Occult, respectively. So, a Fire Great Scythe is only optimal for the entire game if you never level anything high (except maybe Vit and Endur).
    Good video for showing how to do all this, though.

    • @BeefDMan
      @BeefDMan 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4
