“Runs don’t need to be exclusively hard.”
Words to live by, I just did an iron ball fist play of elden ring immediately after finishing the game sl1, and it was like I was treating myself to a good time.
Also I appreciate the demons souls music in the background at the beginning.
Demon's Souls OST is so good, so underused.
@@solarpellets probably the most insulting aspect of the demon's souls remake was removing the laughter from the tower knight boss theme, such an iconic soundtrack, one of my favorites in the franchise.
Genuinely surprised by the dps you can get base game but was kind of expecting the dlc falloff. Great video though. Keep up the good content.
you can get a lot more if you just use power within
And RTSR with the lowest health possible while cursed with the dusk ring and Sanctus! I just didn't want to do that this run lol
@@solarpellets years ago I used this and got my sl1 all the way to the end of ng+6. I decided to kill every single boss on sl1 on the highest difficulty, but I just couldn't beat kalameet. I think I still have the save on the steam cloud for the prepare to die edition. Currently finishing up the achievements on the remastered version, not playing eny self imposed challenge this time. dark souls 1 might be the last game I fully went all in like that, but I suppose I don't have the time and energy for spending 6 hours on 4 kings anymore :D
edit: holy shit your manus fight haha. manus is great. the flow of the fight is a bit similar to artorias imo, but I never lock on for manus. the magic attacks all have different animations and can be dodged by running towards him, away from him or dodging to the side. if you're locked on you might have some trouble with them though.
@@mmm-br9kx Ahh gotta love Power Within. Super strong buff with a small counterpart, easy to get, doesn't have any requirements, doesn't scale with any stat hence it fits any build perfectly, flame adds 0 weight, etc.
Cleric Robes and Knight Greaves are actually some pretty cool fashion souls, I hadn't considered the robes as a central piece for any of my fashion prior to now.
Very fun video! Honestly I have never really tried or thought about this weapon but this was very interesting to watch.
I defiently do agree on the notion that not all runs have to be insanely hard challange runs which makes this video all the more refreshing
5/5 darksigns
This + scimitar was my main weapon for my first playthrough of this game, was not aware the damage could get so crazy with this buff. This video kinda made me understand more why some parts were difficult as well as the ones I found easy.
"I love priscilla... She's cute!" That was adorable. I am enjoying your content.
I mean, she is! :3
@@solarpellets You are not incorrect!
I don’t know if I’d have the courage to do a 2-handed build which forces you into close-quarter mêlée, but you know the game much better than I do, so congrats on the run!
just found your channel and im loving your content, you are gonna get big, keep it up :)
I highly recommend trying Priscilla's Scythe. It was not only a fun and cool weapon the bleed and the special mechanic it has makes it really fun to take over the journey of a whole run, also it's awesome for a new game +
I have been wanting to use the lifehunt scythe for a while, but I'm really not sure how to make it interesting after the backlogs already doing a video with it. I could use it exclusively, after getting a +10 great scythe and doing Sen's skip instead of using the great scythe until getting it, actually, and managing bleed in the lower levels could be fun. It's definitely going on the list!
I know it might not be your style but maybe you could keep the bleed resistance at the lowest possible, that way it becomes a health managment issue and there is a gimmick that keeps present through the gameplay. also i think doing it in NewGame+ could make it more interesting because bleed with long healthpools is oddly satisfiying and enemies hit harder. just sayin'. i'll be waiting to see what you do@@solarpellets
3:02 I was not aware of the existence of frog rays until now, but you have introduced a new thing for me to love in my life. Thank you.
They are pretty incredible
I honesty hadnt even realised the painting guardians weapon was any good. Great video.
It's good in ds3 as well
A little surprised you did a DPS video without power within? Great video though, a good watch and just makes me want to do yet another DS1 run
I think I mention power within at some point? I don't remember when, but I mention something about the DOT not being worth it
@@solarpellets you said that at 4:40 :3
It's barely noticeable when it comes to raw dps. The reason this specific sword is one of the best is do to its attack speed and scaling not its final ar.
this is a neat watch! ill check out the other video you mentioned. by the by, you have a pretty voice!
Summon does channelers Trident, you have RTSR, Darkmoon talisman, darkmoon blade, +15 painting guardian sword, 99 dex, 99 str?, dusk crown, ring of the suns firstborn, power within. I think thats what you need
Commentary and gameplay were 10/10. Looking forward to other playthroughs.
great video man and i can't wait for the demon greataxe vid
Not really a challenge run, but an idea for a longer analysis-esque video.
Beating the game with every class with only their base equipment and level to see which one is the most powerful on its own.
Honestly.... That is a GREAT VIDEO IDEA!!
The knight or deprived will win. Pyromancer comes in 3rd.
Only at 4:47 but 40% DPS buff from Power Within is nothing to scoff at, and I don't think (in most cases) that the time spent healing is enough to counteract that fully. That being said, I don't know yet if you have something else in mind that wouldn't allow you to use it and would be better, but also FYI Power Within lasts 100 seconds. Just found your channel and loving your vids so far
OMG I did a run just like this last year only with the Balder Side Sword! 40 dex 50 faith with max dark moon blade and power within and I was doing over 800 damage with a one hand r1. Beat each Four King before the next one showed up. I also beat Gwyn with 3 parry ripostes with the hornet ring I’ve never been so strong. I was considering using the painting sword because I read that’s it like the best Dex weapon but I skipped it due to its blade length and the BSS was way longer and had a good R2 thrust.
First vid from you i’ve seen, ur pretty cool keep it up
A DS1 challenge video? That Priscilla lives? Very nice
currently playing a mage for the first time and pinwheel took forever with the moonlight butterfly horn. didn't even know he was coded to survive like 2 full minutes. I usually just kind of killed him before he does anything.
He has one of the most interesting fights in the game if you don't kill him instantly. If he had more health he'd probably be one of my favorite bosses.
I see you've discovered the Painting Guardian's Sword. I remember when this thing was talked up quite a bit, it's fun when you get it to work, but I always enjoyed the Falchion even though there's a drop-off in damage due to slower attacks.
I'm thinking of doing a balder side sword build soon, too, that one was a big one back when people cared about the meta in this game
I know a lot of people praise the Great scythe as one of the best pve weapons in the game. But recently I did a run where I used the regular Scythe you find in sens fortress. I got it to +11 fairly early in the run for the bump to B dex scaling, allowing me to one and two hit some of the more difficult early game enemies and making quick work of some early game bosses. I leveled mostly into dex and did a fairly even leveling of vitality and endurance. Also ran the thieves armor because its fairly light and has decent resistances also ran the grass crest shield. I got the scythe to +15 just before going to Anor Londo. Havel's ring is also a necessity early game, if you didn't level endurance enough usually taking the gloves off got you just enough equip load to fast roll with the ring. Overall the run was just very fun. Way less frustrating than some of my other runs. It was fun going through the game feeling way overpowered for some enemies and bosses. If you or anyone wants to do a similar run to mine, my early game weapon of choice for dex is the uchigatana, getting it to +5 and swapping out once you reach Sens fortress for the scythe.
The Scythe is one of my favorite weapons in the game, actually. I used it in the back half of a playthrough and then immediately did a playthrough where I used Sen's skip to get it super early. I haven't used the great scythe yet, I don't think.
If you like the Scythe moveset, you will love a Chaos Gargoyle halberd, insane damage
@@ballisticthreatI believe the overall best weapon is the scimitar or falchion. High attack speed high scaling buffable and low weight.
@@IveBeenWithBrumapainted guardian sword is better
@@heskerterrer9724 Only because of bleed but that isn't viable of a lot of bosses in a ng cycle. The Scimitar and the falchion on the other hand are much easier to get.
I know it would be annoying to record but would love to see this with rts and pw for boosted dps
The video I uploaded after this is exactly that!
it would be super interesting if you did a full on faith build for the astora straight sword, ive done it before and its surprisingly good
My paladin runs usually fall to the crescent axe, but an astora straight sword focused build could be interesting, I'll put that on my list
i feel like having 49(manus catalyst cuts 99 castings in half) dark beads is potentially higher dps since youre not stamina locked and you have somewhat better range since you still want to be close enough to land all projectiles
I needed to watch this on 0.75x speed.
But very cool video
If you jump attack the asylum demon from that ledge AND the Taurus demon, you’ll do a double hit
I saw that painting guardian blade and thought no fucking way
It says DS2 in the description
plin plin plon still haunts me to this day
I actually did a Demon greataxe darkmoon blade run before in ds1, the moveset was... not great, so much so that I actually ended up using jump attacks as my most reliable move
What is the track that's playing in the beginning? Sounds very familiar...
Souls of Mist (character creator) - Demon's Souls OST
The whole demon's souls ost is super underrated, but that one is by far my favorite.
15:04 correct me if i'm wrong, but you should get the lingering ring if you kill him? Or maybe that is the bellowing ring?
Slumbering, unfortunately. I think I tried killing him in a different run for the bellowing, but he only drops slumbering and hush
@@solarpellets Ah I see. Well it was worth a shot.
This build + the other dmg boosts (red tearstone and power within) makes ng+6 and further games easy, i normally play like that haha
Love your tempo
Manus has always been my favorite fight in the game. But only very recently as in this year did I realize you can spam the silver pendant to keep using its effect... for literally no reason at all I assumed it had some kind of cooldown o_O. aanyway nice vid as always!
I also thought it had a cooldown, actually. Good to know, I have a run in mind where that will be very useful
You haven’t lived until you’ve had 4+ people, invaders and cooperaters both, spamming the pendant on the bridge
I love Manus. You definitely dont need the pendant to avoid his spells - you simply need to lock on less and work on spacing. Ds1 becomes much easier when you generally stop locking on to enemies, especially bosses.
I have fought Manus several times since making this video, I've beat him hitless twice without the pendant. I understand his attacks far better and can dodge them 90% of the time. He still sucks to learn. If you're attacking from neutral and he decides to do the combo or shotgun and you don't have the pendant, you simply can't avoid it. You have to stay mid-range until he attacks, then counter attack if possible. That's the only way to safely fight Manus, with or without the pendant, and that sucks. Locking on makes the fight far easier, you can see him better and there's literally no negative to it. You lose omni-directional rolling, but the game is built around it. I have 600 hours in the game, it's not like I don't know how to fight bosses, it's that Manus throws away the design philosophy of the rest of the game, making him annoying to learn.
@@solarpellets I suppose you're right about the learning curve being a bit steep. He'll take a few attempts to figure out but imo because most of the game is pretty easy by souls standards it's nice to have a good challenge. Tbh I've always had more trouble with kalameet over the years so to each their own.
it would be fun to see a chaos blade or a lifehunt scythe run because of their gimmicks. And idk why but when I saw you faming the painting guardian sword I thought of the balder side sword because its also a low drop rate weapon which is hyped in the community. If you haven't already you can try one of those.
I've definitely been wanting to do chaos blade. Lifehunt scythe seems fun, but outside of four kings it might just involve dodging for a bit, but finding ways to keep the DPS without taking damage could be interesting. I'll definitely look into both of them
@@solarpellets you could also make things more interesting with not levelling vitality
Lifehunt Scythe is the weapon that pretty much carried my first playthrough. The bleed damage was only really a problem with the Four Kings, and even then because I got greedy and wasn't paying attention. Still, apparently killing the last king with the same hit that kills you with bleed still counts, so all that really amounted to is a very stressful trip to recover 80K souls.
Great vid! TND 💎🥶
the Falchion is probably better than the painting guardian sword with it's higher Ar while having the same moveset. Hard to tell how much extra dmg bleed gives since a lot of the bosses and even enemies seem to be immune to it.
All I know is that everyone on the internet said this is better lol. I assume the painting guardian sword is faster? Or takes less stamina? I'm not quite sure.
Manus is fire, but you have to play it like the hand is the boss.
Awesome run and you have a new subscriber 👍😎
whats the name of the soundscape
I used songs from Demon's souls, Dark Souls 1, and Dark Souls 2. I don't remember exactly what I used in this video, but my usual selection is souls of mist, maiden in black, and tower knight from Demon's Souls, Souls of fire, Firelink Shrine, Nameless Song, and Gwyn's theme from Dark Souls 1, and Majula and fire keepers from Dark Souls 2.
Bro power within lasts 100 seconds, and buffes not only weapon damege, but moonblade too
Cool vid, made me subscribe, waiting for more.
Consider doing some challange runs in DS3 too :)
I have a couple I want to try in DS3, but I'm not very good at it yet lol. Hopefully I will be soon, though
If I wanted to use this build but just naturally level up the painted sword, would it still be too OP? I like to level up things naturally and not feel excessively OP, but I do like big number dps go brrrt and I liked this build for my next run. PS: Is it the highest DPS weapon ONLY if you infuse it for faith?
I don't think you can buff infused weapons, but if you don't plan on using buffs, then enchanted has the best scaling. If you're doing anything other than an int build, though, a +15 std is your best bet, and then use DMB, or SLB if you don't want to use DMB. I didn't really go out of my way to upgrade it to +15, I just had most of the materials at that point. I didn't even really go out of my way, just grabbed the stuff as I went through the game.
@@solarpellets I haven't played the game since 2012 so I'm a bit rusty/forgetful, just bear with me haha. Actually I think for the Remastered run I'll probably use something else because last time I tried a short reach weapon in a souls game (daggers in Elden Ring) I got annoyed at the range, but it was a nice video/tips.
W video! I suggest making this weapon crystal as it only makes it better!
Can you buff crystal weapons? I know you can't repair them, but even if you can't buff them that would probably be better for the DLC, at least
Subscribed :) you should do this in other souls games ( as long as it isn’t too taxing on your time ofc ) I feel like it would get a lot of views and stuff
I was looking into other games and can't really find anything as concrete as this. I've seen several answers for both DPS and AR in DS2, but if I can figure out what the highest DPS is, I'd love to do it.
One challenge run that I've thought would be interesting to see is: A bow without lock on or crossairs. (I feel like it would be difficult, But not insanely difficult or impossible.)
And the challenge could be characterized as sort of: Aiming and shooting the bow, More similar to real life aiming a bow in the middle ages/ Medieval Era. i.e. They would aim/ sight down the arrow (which you couldn't do since that pov isnt in the game) or they used instinctual aiming (which is sort of what: No lock-on or crossairs would be).
But, I don't know if this would be super challenging or entertaining enough for a video. Buy, It's just a suggestion. And I don't remember seeing anyone else do it.
I was gonna say that's basically a crossbow run, but I realized you said no locking on lol
That could be fun, I'll put it on my list
Hey! Great video as always.
Regarding the accessibility thing you mentioned, and as a soon to be video game programmer (5 months to graduate and start looking for a job on the field). This is my personal opinion:
There are a lot of aspects that come into play whilst talking about accessibility, and it doesn't always relate to difficulty selections.
The accessibility comes in many ways, such as visuals (Yellowish paint in the climbable or interactable elements of the games, such as in horizon zero dawn or tomb raider, they can help the visually impaired and are also great for regular players). The controls are also a great deal when it comes to this kind of things. I have a friend who only has one hand. He tried really hard to play Elden Ring but sadly had to leave it because there are simply too many possible inputs.
The infamous difficulty selector is more often than not detrimental. When the development time for a videogame is just so short it isn't always enough to have a good game out by the date the publishers make you have it, let alone having a difficulty selector that gives you actual changes in the game. Usually, as you can see in The Witcher 3, it's only beefier health bars.
The accessibility ultimately has to come from better visuals, simpler controls and a design element such as the one in super mario oddissey that helps the player not to die without touching elements from the actual game, it interacts solely with the player.
But as I said that's my personal take :)
I think the one in Witcher 3 is done pretty well, but only because of how the rest of the game is designed. If you use alchemy, potions, a bunch of good gear, all that, then you should play on higher difficulties to actually get that challenge. If that's not your thing, then lower difficulties would be better for you. In the same way, dark souls "difficulty options" are available to you if you don't have good reaction time or whatever. I don't think a difficulty selector is inherently bad, it just makes it easier for developers to not implement actually good mechanics lol. Most of the time that falls on corporate, not the devs, since they just don't have enough time, though. That said, it is interesting that most accessibility comes down to visuals and controls, I never considered that at all
You raise a really good point. Devs are badly exploited due to the release dates of videogames. Videogames are a bad investment, economically speaking, because they are huge hits or giant failures, the more money you invested on it, the greater the risk, so companies are just desperate to release on time to start another project. (There are exceptions tho)
For changing gameplay on difficulty sliders as I think it should be done you should have to create different attacks for the enemies, enable ones, disable others, change % of attacks being used. But normally there isn't time to pass through the game and check what should be changed for every enemy. And even if there was time, it would be invested in other areas of the game.
@@solarpellets
You don't need the Silver Pendant to dodge Manus' dark attacks. You just need good timing, like everything else in this game.
Max DPS and a high burst damage mage were probably the most fun I've had with this game! You probably don't like Manus because his moves rub you the wrong way. There are bosses any person can hate because yuck. I hate Bed like most other people for example, and I found Mohg and Malenia really annoying just because of how long they took. Pursuers and Giant Lord also suck because DS2 hitboxes. Yeah, Manus is the hardest in the game, but I find his moveset really fun and just hate the run because he also has one of the longest runs.
I learned from Lobos that you can dodge the attack where he pulls in the big circle of orbs just by hugging him. Shotgun blast doesn't give me too much trouble. 4-hit combo sucks, but it has a 2-second tell where he rears back with a little roar, and that's usually just enough time to backflip away from the slam jam.
This plus Hyper mode would deal even more dps. Hypermode is Rtsr+PW. To counteract PW drain use Sanctus + Lingering Dragoncrest Ring
You get cursed and use dusk crown ring at minimum hp and have the Sanctus equipped, I used hyper mode in the follow up
i run that build on ng +7 level 100 with some wrsth of gods on Nintendo switch
It always feels like you're desperately telling me a secret or trying to share some forbidden madman's knowledge before something happens to the knowledge inside of you. I kinda like it
It's true, I need to get it out or I'll go insane
That or I'm just autistic and have adhd and know too much about the game because it's a special interest.
Great video i like how ur giving alot of information but look into wiki why this sword is the highest dps, its becouse its scaling and darkmoon blade scaling both S one in dex and one in fth soo i would love to see a video on maxed possible "usable in real gameplay" dps ;3
I have no idea how to go about finding that lol. The best I've found so far is the lifehunt scythe, but I'm not really sure where to go from there. It's going on my list for when I figure it out though lol
@@solarpellets i can send u how to make painted guardian sword to have 2 S scaling things
my dude is speedrunning his script, take a breath man, you deserve it
Haha I prefer a fast speaker tbh. I saw a tutorial for persona 3 earlier where the dude was.. talking.. like. This and couldn’t…. Gather, his words 😂
A really fun one, is just magic only, its not difficult by any means but its a good time to blast everything into oblivion
How can you dupe souvenirs of reprisal?
You use a glitch called prompt swapping to buy a bunch of swords at once, then use another prompt swap to drop a negative amount of the item. You should be able to find a tutorial by just searching for prompt swapping
"This game needs and easy mode." Miss me with that rubbish.
Nice video dude
love seeing another new dark souls challenge runner like myself X3
Woah, cool, another new challenge runner girlie :3
@@solarpelletsnew challenge runner girlie = new friend X3
Idk i think manus is ine if fromsofts best bosses, he’s so aggressive that it keeps you on your toes unlike any boss in ds1 since the majority of them are insanely easy
I mean, hard != Fun, but even aside from that, so many of his attacks are annoying, unintuitive, or just outright broken. The combo doesn't make any sense, the jumps are weird and annoying, the bead attacks suck, he's just everything terrible about what became of the bosses in DS3 and Elden Ring. He's not a *bad* boss, don't get me wrong, he's still fun, he's just my least favorite boss in the game.
@@solarpellets See maybe its just the amount of time ive spent on manus specifically (he was my biggest struggle in the first game especially on my first play through) but you can definitely tell what move he is going to do before throwinf it out, especially the combo because he does a big scream before it. id argue the worst in the game is obviously BoC, i think the gwyndolin fight was also pretty bad gameplay wise. not very fun just chasing the boss in an almost infinite corridor. the only thing id agree with is the magic attacks can be pretty BS but after fighting him on my 6th run i had completely learned the timing for all of them without the medallion, otherwise though id disagree with that take tbh i think they did manus great especially in comparison to the bosses that came after in ds2. and personally i love the bosses in ds3 and elden ring i think they punish you for not staying vigilant enough while also allowing you just enough time between most attacks to get a hit or two off in, i think theyre challenging but in an extremely fair way ,(except godskin duo they can disappear and id be happier than ever🙏) but something being your favorite or least favorite will always be subjective so neither of us are truly right in the end! im curious though what is your favorite boss throughout all the from soft games? i think that sparks good conversations as there are SO MANY bosses and so many reasons to like each one!
You say you're alright with the bed of chaos?
Complete and utter BLASPHEMY.
But it's fun. Different, but fun.
I'll agree on different.
can you do a max chaos damage play through
I'll put it on the list, for sure, that sounds fun!
manus' dark magic attacks are absurdly easy to dodge once you understand how they work, I don't think i've ever even used the silver pendant defensively in that fight its just not really needed
And then Manus jumps away twice and uses the ring with literally no way to approach quickly enough to avoid it entirely. Or decides to use the shotgun once you're up close. Or you start rolling from the rain and there just happens to be a piece of rubble in the arena that you couldn't have possibly seen coming because it's dark and you don't have to pay attention to them 99% of the time because Manus breaks them. They're easy to dodge if you know how and you get lucky.
@@solarpellets i wouldn't call it luck, the AI in dark souls 1 is very predictable
okay, in case someone (in the comments) havent told you, the Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring and Lingering Dragoncrest Ring both do not have stat requirments.
No, but there are stat requirements for griggs selling them to you. He literally won't even offer them unless you have 10 or more int.
@@solarpellets fair enough. I low-key forgot about that.
Interesting vid
Imo curved swords are actually the best possible weapon for Manus, it's kinda bitchmade but the easiest way to fight him is run away in circles while baiting hand slams and the wombo combo, you can hit the hand as a punish, it takes some time, and for some people it can be hard to predict his attacks, but being at a distance constantly helps manage both his aggression and his spells. since curved swords have such fast running attacks(and halberds) you can very easily get at least one hit on the hand after dodging a slam and since he's so far he just can't close the gap in time due to the recovery, trust, if you play super passive for him he becomes the easiest dlc fight
Yeah, but passive is boring lol
I like greatswords, great hammers, and greataxes for that exact reason, you can get a ton of damage on every single punish as long as you read it well.
@@solarpelletsI agree, I prefer to be aggressive too I just choose not to be with manus cause I hate his fight so much lol
do a dex only run cuz i didnt see anyone doing it before
and with ur dodging skills it will be easier than ur previous nightmares
The faster one kills Sif, the better. Less suffering for Sif.
Consider:
NG+7 but on a new character, calamity enabled, black phantoms enabled.
I'm like 99% sure Lobos did this lol
It does sound pretty fun, though. I want to try it at least, maybe I can do something interesting and unique with it.

Pretty rad
Ooooooo, 8:00 not happy you didn’t use the weapon just because you didn’t want to get back to Andre….
Lightning blade is overall better tho, especially for PvE. More bosses resist magic compared to lightning
I’m so glad they got rid of the “spell uses” system where you only get one use of weapon buffs! I don’t know why they had mana in Demon’s Souls but then got rid of it in DS1 and 2 and made a worse system
I prefer the spell cast system in every way, for sure. With mana it feels like a waste to use anything other than your highest damaging spells at all times, with, spell casts, it's a waste to not use every single spell you have equipped. Every single level in attunement is extremely valuable, and every copy of every spell is extremely useful. It makes it more about strategy than "use your strongest spell"
FAP ring is literally the best of the tri rings in dark souls it’s literally a staple to almost every build that’s running any form of melee combat but honestly I’m more for dusk ring and flip ring to flip kill ANYONE
Yeah, it's decent if you're not trying to do something specific, but if you're not getting hit anyway or need the ring slot, it's not detrimental to get rid of it
First time I’ve ever heard someone say i forgor unironically
this build is much better with pyromancy buff tough,
Exiting the game faster then homeward bone?
Havent even seen the video but I already know it's not as easy as running full havels +Zweihander
"how hard is Dark Souls if you have a nuclear bomb"
Didn't get the logic behind to exit gameplay to break the wall just to get hit by rolling ball. 0:56
Habit, not paying attention, and it's funny
The fact you said the fap ring is bad is just so weird it is known as the best ring in the game and it’s why everyone uses it for basically every play through
I will always respect my fellow Prissy enjoyers
4 kings is quaking.
Talked smack about my astora straight sword, sadge
I do not know the ways, I've never done a build based around it. It's usually just a stepping stone to the crescent axe for me
2 hand that weapon 😎👍🏻
I think a fun one could be doing your take on beating the game with only gear and spells found in the asylum. Nice, simple, and could be fun to see how well they last.
Just off the top of my head I can think of a couple ways to make that interesting, so I'm not just running through the whole game with a +0 straight sword, I'll put in on my list for sure.
@@solarpellets Oh, yeah. Upgrade away. You've been through enough after the nothing runs 🤣
@@GobPalRosieVT you can get several upgrade materials in the asylum itself, as well as a couple black knight weapons, but I wouldn't want it to just be a bks run lol. There's probably some interesting weapon in the asylum I could use, I'm just not quite sure what yet.
@@solarpellets Looking forward to it! I wish you luck.
Wouldn't the highest DPS be Richard's Rapier with Darkmoon blade???
That is really good burst damage, yeah, but the DPS from the painting guardian sword is higher through a whole stamina bar
Cool watch! Leaving a comment as a sacrifice to the ever-hungry Algorithm Gods, may they bless you.
Havels and wolf ring is so busted.
I tried magic weapon and Gwyn dies with 2 parries by bandit's knife btw
At what level and what rings? Also, the bandit's knife has a 147 crit modifier, so its riposte damage is way higher than its normal damage.
Hornet ring and lingering dragoncrest ring. also used power withing pyromancy@@solarpellets
I don’t remember what level it was, quite high. I played through the whole game with Rickard's rapier, it has a cool ability with multiple hits, it went well with the buff.@@solarpellets

Entirely... the best Buff in the game, there are some instances where SLB is slightly better, however this requires you to abandon DMB entirely, but for those not wanting to use DMB, SLB is a very close 2nd in strongest buffs (barring Force Buffing any Magic based weapon with CMW... which literally is the best Glitch buff bar none)
Edit: Didn't use Power Within for that 50% full attack boost and GIANT +30 stamina regen boost, allowing for a massively increased DPS and stamina sustain... PW is used in these DPS builds as it's literal "free" DPS boosting, as it's a 0/0 Stat requirement Spell with 1 slot requirement, that heavily boosts all forms of damage... and is found REALLY early into the game for the best buff in the game period.
That weapon doodoo
