Dark Souls: Overpowered In Ten Minutes

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2012
  • A video in which I overpower a new level 1 character before even stepping foot in the Undead Burg. By taking a shortcut in the Catacombs, I was able to kill Pinwheel (with the assistance of Paladin Leeroy), obtain a family mask to help get me through the groups of angry skeletons, obtaining the Great Scythe, and ascending it to the Fire element. From title screen to the Fire ascended Great Scythe, it took just under ten and a half minutes.
    As stated in the subtitles - I do not recommend beginners attempt this in the exact same way I did.

      ​@@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.

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.

Also don't forget to put on your ring of sacrifice after the boss fight. Don't wanna lose the souls. :)

      @@Dravianpn02 I think Pinwheel was designed with the fact that you can go straight to the Catacombs from Firelink(if you're crazy/skilled enough) in mind. Weaker/worse players cant kill him as fast and thus have to actually dodge his attacks and target his clones carefully. But that makes him a weakling if you fight him when you're supposed to, like most people do.

    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.

    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 +261

      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.

      if you play the game for first time and you died 10 times trying this i would say you earn it cause first time shouldnt be like 'i go to the internet and look whats the easiest way to get trough the game'
      btw if you are bad at the game a better weapon wont help too much

      Welp, to each their own I guess. It may be out of left field here, but I'd actually prefer someone get a little help on the game and proceed through with the entire game, then not get any help and eventually quit. 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. I think that shows some maturity as a gamer, even if only a tiny bit.

      ***** 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.

  • @zeph6182
    @zeph6182 9 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    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 9 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
