Pinning these FAQ's so I dont have to answer them a ton: Q: why not just use Sens gate skip? Why kill quelaag and gargs? A: You need to visit firelink altar in some capacity in order to do the wrong warp into the kiln. The only 2 ways to do that are to ring both bells and wake up frampt, or to talk to kaathe after killing 4 kings and sif. If you have a good damage source early on, its just faster to kill quelaag and gargs early just to avoid backtracking and extra bonfire activations/resting/warps. This route is over a minute faster than the previous dragon tooth route that used sens gate skip. Routing wins Q: Is this the Remaster or the original release? A: This is the original release. "Dark Souls" on Speedrun.com is the original release's leardboard for this run, and remaster has a separate leaderboard. This is due to both games having a substantial amount of differences like glitches being patched or introduced in the remaster, the in game timer working differently, and the fact they're 2 separate games with some other differences that make them not 1:1 for leaderboards or routing purposes.
@@SneedFeedAndSeed im the same, its completely covered in armor, so i dont care at all. i just hit male and play. well besides the stuff that affects the game.
Yeah, I was watching The Click when I found this. I haven't even seen a Dark Souls speedrun. I've seen challenge runs, sure, but I haven't actually watched a speedrun
I can promise you it’s hard this guy is using 20+ different glitches at once on bosses it doesn’t really show the difficulty of the game he’s very good tho
@@synik4583 Guys. This was a joke, they're making fun of how easy things look when you watch someone who's good at them. (I mean, I agree, DS isn't really a hard game, but still.)
Imagine being Gwyn in this situation, some random ball idiot that has run past every single one of your knights pulls a gigantic sword out of his ass and begins smacking you with it while making weird gestures
That Taurus Demon fight was hilarious. I love the Souls games but I don’t know anything about the speedrunning strategies. I’m so amused that for some reason the brightness settings were opened up for a moment there. What even is that 😂
that was the second part of a glitch he setup with the merchant, he used a stored quantity value to underflow his twinkling titanite thus giving him 68 for upgrading black knight greatsword ( I could be entirely wrong )
that is a very common glitch that is normally used to dupe souls in order to gain infinite levels, in this case they are using the dupe glitch to get some twinkling titanite to upgrade their weapon
Dang i havent watched dark souls speedruns in a bit, the routing changed quitee a bit, fighting taurus demon, going to merchant, no red tearstone, no bkh
I have to admit, the last time I watched a DS1 speedrun you still had to clip through the gate near the soul bowl thingie. The route progression here is insane.
Yea, we were a but surprised when it ended up being faster to just use the firelink bonfire the whole time and not do sens gate skip. But that's why this game is really cool as a speedgame. The routing can be super diverse depending on what weapons you use or what goal you have for the run. Most other categories still use sens gate skip, but for the shorter ones, its just faster to not do it anymore
The accuracy of the set up required for the seamwalking to quelaag is so crazy. Actually looks slightly different than what I had seen, I thought it only worked from one specific angle/direction. But it seems as long as you're looking at the general blobs toward the doorway and fully against the wall it works. The more you know!

Is this an actual record?
@@Umed1 www.speedrun.com/darksouls
Yes
That's pretty cool. Sad this hasn't gone viral yet. Hope you do good.
You deserve a sub
Bro you could have just killed the estus flask guy to save time
*gets world record* "ok the run was bad"
it's tradition 😃
It's one of the most bittersweet feelings in the world when you FINALLY get a WR but know that it could be beaten by a wide margin with known strats.
Seems like it might be kind necessary to be good at things/be a good person
Soldiers in Undead Burg:
"Hey remember that naked guy that ran through here 20 mins ago? He just killed Gwyn".
Imagine if that's how anime storylines went down
lmao
Basically "One Punch Man" episode
-just finished customizing my character, what about you?
-just killed O&S lol
I’m even worse. The speeedrun could’ve ended 3 hours ago and I would still be in character creation
who th spends 20 minutes making a charcter in ds

That skip to Quelaag took me hella off guard, I never knew of that one, GJ man

If I'm not mistaken, it was discovered recently by Phobia and Illusory Wall.
How many people got this randomly recommended despite not watching dark souls speedruns? It seems like a lot from the comments
Yeah, I was watching The Click when I found this. I haven't even seen a Dark Souls speedrun. I've seen challenge runs, sure, but I haven't actually watched a speedrun
I've watched dark souls 1 speedruns since 2015
I’m in the same boat. I’m a huge fan of the Souls series but never watched a single speedrunning video, and this was recommended to me.
Yeah I'm not seeing much of those comments. weird.
Nothing strange about this video recommendation for me!
As someone who's never played Dark Souls, I don't understand why people say it's so hard. This guy shows that it's really easy
You're right
It's not very hard. People always come up with something to make it harder eg. No-Hit, speedruns, SL1, etc.
I can promise you it’s hard this guy is using 20+ different glitches at once on bosses it doesn’t really show the difficulty of the game he’s very good tho
@@synik4583 Just be patient and hit the enemies.

I hadn't watched a DS1 speedrun in like 10 years, crazy how smooth it has become. Huge GG

Babe wake up a new dark souls wr just dropped
12:45 this never gets old
Dark Souls speedruns are like eye-candy, especially WRs, even with some of the hiccups. It's just so pleasing to watch. Congrats, man.
as I was watching this during my lunch break it dawned on me: "I can watch an entire playthrough of Dark Souls while I have lunch" lol
I've been reading the comments of you answering the questions, it's mind-blowing how you do these strategies
Goated run, dude
Dang i havent watched dark souls speedruns in a bit, the routing changed quitee a bit, fighting taurus demon, going to merchant, no red tearstone, no bkh
it's insane that we still see new world records on Dark souls PTDE, and I love it
a DS WR is always impressive, congratz bro!
Lautrec being defeated before he could even finish his sentence is always hilarious 😂
i feel proud to have known all the strats used in this run
wow, can you explain me the talisman and miracles ones ? Aswell as the bow ? is it useful for the moveset switch?
@@GobliocBerger-hu2nk talisman/miracles is a homeward wrong warp, bow is correct, moveset swap. google will do u better than i can explain lol.
I got them all except the brightness, what was that for?
@@somerandomfox8579used the brightness menu to just have stacked menus to dupe twinkling titanite via negative value overflow.
What attack was he using to just dominate every boss?
Randomly recommended to me but I love speedruns and souls so I will consider this a blessing.
Fantastic speedrun. Comgrats on the WR. ❤
20:13 “How is he going to get to Gwyn in like 20 seconds? There’s no way yo- holy shit”
Man basically casted a forbidden teleportation spell there
Yooo congrats!!!
Congrats man! that was insane
CONGRATS, ur insane
Joga muito mano! Parabéns 🤘🦆
Defeating the final boss in a few seconds and finishing it with a parry is so clean.
Sick record man! amazing run
wow that was so awesome, congrats!!
holy snap, congratulation bro!
Can't wait to see Catalyst's video on your run. Grats on the WR!
Holy shit man good job, can't believe this game is still getting records
Awesome run! Congrats on being the fastet of all speedrunners speedrunning DS in the effing WORLD!
Brillant stuff.
Sincerely Poul, Denmark.
BROOOO GG THAT’S AMAZING GODDAMN
Insane that Dark Souls Any% is still run nowadays, ggs man !
20:12 Oh now it's time for the four l... WHAT???
Yeah somebody REALLY needs to explain that lol
Loved the homies kissing in the timer
New world record: “the run was bad but I’ll take it”
been a couple years but still im surprised how new most of this was to me
May this run one day be shown in a Summoningsalt video ❤
This is amazing.
This is super impressive and you deserve much more recognition, good job - now top this one! \[T]/
Mad man pull off a WR and was vibing like another Tuesday dx
Fav souls game. This is awesome
This chosen undead has been respawning a long long time.
I have always been surprised by the precision that people who makes speedrun have. Nice run
Pretty impressive! 👍
never played DS1 but this is absolutely bonkers gg dude
Perfect video to watch while copying a 134.77 GB file at 100 MB/s
Godlike run ggs
I have to admit, the last time I watched a DS1 speedrun you still had to clip through the gate near the soul bowl thingie. The route progression here is insane.
I LOVE the Queelag skip. First time I see it. Just another evidence of the great design in Dark Souls.
this speedrun goes hard
i love dark souls. i play every single day. 🤤
Genuinely impressive
FeelsStrongMan GG
i haven’t seen people go for the drake sword instead of relying on black knight rng. honestly a really cool route nice run bro
This is so crazy... Never thought we would get another but here we are lol. GG
This is fuckin awesome man. Dope as hell
Good run
for some reason it makes me so mad he didn't get ring of favor and protection
It loses like 7s to grab it unfortunately
@@QueueKyoo I know it's just like
GG dude!
GG bro❤
Nice job!
GG Man!!! 🎉

Incredible
I had no idea any% was still going lower, good stuff
Edit: Those jumps in Anor Londo were crazy:O
The amount of discoveries since the last wr is insane. It is completely different.
You are so underrated

GGS once again.
I get the wrong warp, but why did O&S just break?
That's called ai manipulation @catalystz did an explanation of it
@@ludoferre thanks!
The Chosen Undead bending reality like Speedrunner Mario.
I wonder how this fits in the games lore…
respect for that run! why were O&S only just standing there at the beginning?
Amazing
I love the lizard guys waiting on the narrow walkways for 10 minutes only for the hero to run past them
congrats
When you killed the asshole at fire link shrine 😭
This is fucking crazy man good job
When you want to play Dark Souls but gotta go to work in 30 minutes
bro never thought that there would be alot glitches in ptde I thought it has one glitch....
First trying sens fortress is the most impressive part can’t imagine how many times you lost your run to sens fortress
good run
22:42 "I hope it's actually 2023"
Nah mate, we're in 2024 for a few months now
Omg that’s my boy
gg sir
Its crazy how this dude just keeps coming back to get world record again after someone broke it
I can confidently say I enjoyed a video not understanding a single thing that was going on.
