YOU'RE A TRANS GIRL❤
YAYY
Also yeah never seen vagrants before. They look like turnips
Very relevant info
Finally
Love seeing bosses just get melted by the high damage numbers you can pull out in DS1! The video title is a fun question to axe 😊
JK, you love other people's pain... Don't you? That's why I'm subscribed. I love just knowing how many people groan at your puns. Just the same as my own. keep up the good work, Leed-ing the Dark Souls challenge run community into a Punnier world
Well well well, look who we have here!
Even here you do puns!
stuff like that is why i love your channel
OMG it's the dad joke man

You can also just buy the Demon's Greataxe from Shiva the Deceased after he moved to Blighttown.
felt like a century waiting for this video even though it was like 2 weeks or even 1 but still the wait was worth it great vid as always continue man you're really doing good
One thing you should know, I believe if you block while sprinting, you can normal roll, instead of jumping.
You can still jump while blocking, it just reduces the window, so you'll be able to roll much sooner
That weight of 22 is the main reason why my strength builds use the Great Club. It's super interesting to me the different aspects in which a weapon can be suboptimal to balance out its capacity for melting bosses. Weight, reach, Ricard's Rapier... it's bonkers.
I love the content! please keep up the amazing work! You'll have a loyal fan here
I have 2 or 300 hours across PS3 and PC and I’ve only ever seen one Vagrant, near that final bonfire in the grand archives before you drop down into the little forest and crystal cave for Seathe. Still remember it so vividly
I have several hundreds of hours and didn’t know about vagrants until you met one in your last vid
That's pretty surprising, I've seen quite a few in that time. Do you play offline most of the time? Like, do you see messages and bloodstains, or are you logged off?
@@solarpellets wait so you can't see them offline?
@@TheRealBlackSwordsman apparently these little fellas have a chance to spawn in your world in place of another player's bloodstain if they died without picking their souls up on their world
@@john.darksoul oh alright thanks for the information
@@john.darksoulalso if someone drops something of a high enough value. That gets the white vagrants, the bloodstains of a high enough soul value make a black one(I think that's the name, might be red)
We have lost the grand tradition of you releasing "the last video but fr this time"
I mean, I could do it again with DTS 🤔
Great video! I've always wondered what max AR in ds1 could be, but I've never tried to get it because of the dragon covenant shenanigans
I still skipped the dts here lol
The buff doesn't last long enough to be worth it, imo. Especially since I was already in the blades of the dark moon covenant
This is basically my build when I did my first play through of DS1 except for a few notable differences. First, I have an ordinary great axe, a black knight great axe and a zweihander in rotation to adjust to different enemies. Second, I medium roll with +5 Tarkus’ armor with ring of steel protection for 450 physical defense.
Did you know there is another 2 large titanite in Sens Fortress? Its the path on the left of the stairs, the ones with the Snakeman blocking the path at the turn.
I knew about them, just forgot for this run lol
I'll likely be grabbing them for future runs
I've never seen a vagrant in a run! Two in one run is wild. Loved the video
I've had four in a single run-- to be fair, though, I goofed around before I whooped Gwyn
I'm always use the crystal knight to make make health low before seath, just to be sure not take a curse.
Btw cool video, thanks :)
Looks more like a rock on a stick than an axe. Nice video man
Actually meet a lot vagrants. I did not know there were so rare. Met my last one on the invisible bridge leading to Seath. This was kind of ridiculous, because the little thing knew where the end of the bridge was and I didn't.
What is that circle icon thing under your stamina bar? buff or ??
That's just the icon that shows up when you have a multiplayer password, I just forget to remove it
Weird to see you go out of your way to get the titanite pickups, as the large ones can easily be farmed from the slugs in Blighttown and the chunks from the Darkwraiths in lower New Londo, and you already unlocked both locations.
Yeah, but grinding isn't fun
On my first attempt to play dark souls, in the berg, just after you see the red dragon for the first time, I had a vagrant spawn. I've never seen one again.
I didn't even know a vagrant could spawn there lol
@solarpellets it might have been before the first fog wall leading to the burg, it's been 10 years so its a little hazy, but it was definitely around that area.
“X is as easy as usual” is nice phrasing - covers a lot of bases. (Also I’ve never seen a vagrant, but I only ever did half a run online.)
I mean, I've written about these areas so many times. I have three more runs written, on top of the ones that are already uploaded lol. There are only so many ways to say "i ran past the axes in Sen's."
Early morning gang💪
Late night for me :3
theres a BONFIRE in the SECOND ROOM in LOST IZALITH??? I had to do that horrible run like 15 times in my most recent playthrough because i didnt know you could hide behind the trees and i can't dodge bed of chaos i am ashamed
So what was the final AR? If you said it in the video I didn't notice
I don't think I did, actually, oops
It was 1658, I believe
My first ever run was full havel with the demon greataxe, fap ring and havel ring. Fat rolling the whole time, obviously. Only took off the armor for gwyn cause it just wasnt working. I didn't know how to parry yet 😅. Did keep the greataxe tho! Rolling attacks help a lot, they're relatively fast.
Edit: I also got O&S second try in that firdt run. Full havel and a +10 demon greathammer works very well. Imagine my surprise when my second run took 50-ish attempts 😂
In base damage I think that the weapon with the most damage is the enchanted great ax at +5 with more than 800 base and with buffs it can reach around 1800
I believe the highest base AR is the enchanted large club? Or magic, I don't remember. But you can't buff magic or enchanted weapons, so the demon greataxe gets higher
@@solarpellets It's just that I even raised the crystal demon greataxe +5 and it is only a little less strong than the enchanted greataxe at +5
The trilogy. Are we getting a dark souls dpr cinematic universe? Hah.
Why not use power within? It does add to the AR in the status menu after all and can be used with Darkmoon blade or sunlight blade etc
I used power within, RTSR, and dmb at the end of the video
@@solarpellets ah my bad I hopped of the video just before the end 💀😂
Even tho i would like to play dark souls my pc cant ever run the old version :(
No early lower burg for large ember? No ghost run for very large ember
So I believe that the best AR is actually from the Dragon King Greataxe from Gaping Dragon's Tail. Because that gets you on the route of the oneshot with it's weapon art.
Wait, I might have misunderstood what AR is. What is it?
AR stands for attack rating, it's not the highest damage you can do with a single attack, that's dependent on AR, but also things like motion value and damage type, and in the case of the dragon king greataxe, the special attack has two hits, which makes it do even more damage. This wasn't the highest damage in a single hit, it's just the highest number you can get in the menu. The highest AR, regardless of motion values, damage type, whatever.
Ibe been watching alot of challenge runs of dark souls recently and something thats confused me on all of them.... Why does noone ever get the Rare Ring of Sacrifice in Sen's Fortress in order to negate the cursing from Seath?
I see everyone either just putting up with the curse or using a purge stone.
It's pretty easy to not get cursed in the first place, so it's probably hubris lol
The unavoidable attacks don't curse you, and the laser itself also doesn't curse you, so you specifically need to die in the crystals from the laser to be cursed, which is rare.
You didn't do the Gwyn one-shot... missed opportunity for an ending. It is absolutely possible on the pure AR build + hornet ring.
"invisible wall" lol
saw a couple of vagrents on the ps3 version surprisingly
Afaik, the ps3 version had some of the most activity when it came out, so that's not terribly surprising. Unless it was recent, in which case that's extremely surprising
yeah, it was like 2 weeks ago though. my first one. pretty neet, found it in blightown @@solarpellets
I've completed DS1 on xbox 360 and steam, 100% all items, all achievements, all that... and didn't know those vagrants were even a thing.
Why not Stone Sword + CMW or Dm.Blade?
Because that's not AR and the whole point of the challenge was to have the highest AR value in the menu. Tranquil walk of death glitch is more damage overall but it'll show a lower AR
So technicalities aren't allowed? @@HeavenlyHavoc
@@banshee_x5"This is just the highest possible number that you can get in the menu"- Literally said in the video. The goal wasn't the easiest way to kill things, or even the largest damage dealt per hit. Tranquil walk of death isn't a technicality, it does not coincide with the stated goal of the run in any way, shape, or form.
I didn't even know vagrants could spawn naturally... I have about 200 hours in the game. Its not a lot, since I just started the game
But, how do you know if its a good or bad vagrant?
Wdym naturally? They spawn when other people drop certain items or lose a bloodstain with humanity, bloodstains create evil vagrants that attack you, they have a giant claw, and items create good vagrants, they just run away and disappear like the crystal lizards.
@@solarpellets I did not know that, watch a video that had a very short thing on them, the video's main coverage was the lost and found chest though.
But thank you for the explanation
@@malevolentseth I would highly recommend Illusory Wall's dark souls dissected episode on vagrants, it's super interesting. I assume it was his video you watched about the chest, too.
@@solarpellets I'll be sure to check it out thanks. And you are correct in that assumption, it was his video I watched on the chest.
Love the DS2 and Demons Souls soundtrack use.
DS2 and DeS have the two best osts in the whole anthology by far, imo. DS2's, aside from, like, Majula, is so underrated, and DeS is incredibly underutilized
@@solarpellets Couldn't agree more. I recently sat down and heard DS2 Lud and Zallens ost and was blown away by how good it is.
Lol we love you too
Yup, 250 hours in dark souls 1 here, never seen a vagrant. Granted I did play like 100 hours during the great online servers are down session, but still
I think the run was poor because of how late he put off the large ember and also the fact that you can get a level 15 weapon by only killing the capra demon through farming the worms in blighttown and the dark wraiths in new londo. Also I think the highest ar is achieved through a max level dragon covenant and a level 99 strength and intelligence for the crystal magic weapon with the crystal catalyst which magic adjust works with and is the highest magic adjust in the game
I can only assume you're referring to me, in which case, not a he.
Anyway, the only thing I did before getting the large ember was the gargoyles, everything else is required to reach it. I didn't get the very large ember until I had the necessary items to get to +10 because I wouldn't have been able to use it otherwise. Nothing was put off
I adjusted the comment@@solarpellets
@@solarpelletsI did this run before and the highest i could get was like this but you could fore go the dragon scale farm and just do the darkmoon blade because 80 scales isn't a fun farm
@@dingdong6563 You didn't adjust the pronoun, arguably the thing that was the easiest to adjust and mattered the most by far :3
The run wasn't "getting the highest ar as soon as possible" nor was it "the highest one shot damage." It was the highest usable AR.
Is there a particular reason you didn't do the stated goal for each boss? You could have fairly easily had higher AR numbers for almost every boss, rather than just in the very end game. It just seems like very odd routing, and kind of lile you weren't doing the challenge for most of the run if you know what I mean? Still a fun run worth watching, but we could have gotten maximal bonks instead of just big bonks for a lot more bosses
Because it was about casually using the weapon with the highest potential AR rather than having the highest possible AR at all times. And then I got the actual highest possible at the end of the video :3
@@solarpellets Man, challenge runners these days are weird. The shit I have seen some runners go through to achieve the goal of their runs is wild and frankly masochistic. Now for a video titled "How Hard is Dark Souls With the Highest AR Possible?" the run isn't about having the highest AR possible lol. What a time to be alive
@@orionweiss5418 this isn't a challenge run. I have actual challenge runs coming up soon, but this is not a challenge run. I just thought it would be a fun build, and I was right.
@@solarpellets It was an enjoyable video, but "How hard is...with..." does pose the question(perhaps even the challenge?) of how hard is beating dark souls with the thing, in this case the Highest Possible AR. Making the stated end state while not adhering to the stated conditions does go against the title directly. But, great video otherwise and I look forward to your future content
Love people taking issue with what isn't even relevant. Your identity doesn't affect the quality of the video, who cares. Good video 👍
To be fair, if people are taking issue with my identity, I don't want them here anyway. Them commenting on it only drives engagement, so either way, it's a win for me :3
You should try this theme with ds3 :3:3:3
I would if I knew anything about DS3 lol
I'll look into it, though
How hard is dark souls as giant dad when
That actually sounds fun lol
I'll put it on the list
i didn’t even know what a vagrant is actually i still don’t know what it is
In multiple hundreds of hours in this game, I've seen multiple vagrants, but NEVER more than one in a single run.
Who is toretallus?
That's a great question, I have no idea
@@solarpellets oh you were saying torch hollows
Crystal is cool, but the massive durability drop and losing the ability to repair is quite awful.
On most weapons, yeah, like there's no way I'd put crystal on a straight sword or whatever, but for this weapon, because you're only hitting bosses a couple times and the durability is so insanely high anyway, it's pretty worth it
@@solarpellets if you put it on the washing pole it gets 8 durability lol
Never seen a vagrant after about 130-150 hours LOL "buy the artorious from crest and use andre to open the gate" was that intentional? xD 15:32
Yeah, that was lol
Another challenge runner, I can't remember who for the life of me, does it and I thought it would be fun to do, too :3
I've beat the game 5 times no and i never seen one
dark soul
Every soul has its dark
i know of vagrants but ive never encountered one myself
Hay! I dont want to be a bother, but i love your content, and i didn't want to be rude but what are your preferred pronouns?
I have them on my channel page, they're she/her!
Thank you for asking, that means a lot! It's not rude to ask, don't worry :3
awesome! U are making amazing content, and i love your voice girl it sounds amazing!
well I always play offline, so no vagrants
Magic Large Club has the highest AR in thr game tho
enchanted great club has the highest, but you cant use dmb on it so its lower in the end
@@Twinterfang buffs didnt show on the AR page tho i thought? Wasnt ds3 the 1st to do that? Could be remembering wrong cuz i never buff weapons in dsr lol and enchanted hit harder but i swore a large magic club+10 had more ar at 99 str and int
Did you mean to say the great club? If so, magic weapons can't be buffed, so that would drop the AR dramatically already, but, while the great club does have higher raw damage, the scaling is lower, meaning it has lower AR overall. With no buffs, a crystal demon greataxe +5 at 99 in all stats has an AR of 769, while the great club under the same conditions has an AR of 749. DMB adds just under 500 AR at max covenant rank, then power within and RTSR are percentage based, so that small difference is made a bit more apparent. 1658 on the axe, 1628 on the club.
@@bronysaiyan5236 buffs show up on AR, otherwise the cap would be at 800+ with the enchanted great club instead of 1600+ with the crystal demon greataxe
@@solarpellets i meant the large club. The one with poison from the fat fart boys in blighttown. And if the ar goes up from buffs then yeah but being literal assuming the numbers dont change with buffs on the menu it goes to the magic large club +10
wtf is a vagrant
It depends
Lore-wise, they're considered items that drift between the worlds, like how you can connect to other player's worlds via soapstones.
Mechanically, evil vagrants are spawned when someone loses a bloodstain with, I believe, ten soft humanity or more, the number in the top left. Good vagrants are spawned by a few items, like divine blessings, transient curses, purging stones, stuff like that, if someone drops them. From there, they'll travel to another player's world as an item bag that will only give you rubbish if you pick it up, but if it goes through ten worlds it'll become a good vagrant and drop humanity if you kill it.
This is the queer representation we need damnit
what does this mean
