- After 9 months of hard work we finally managed to reach our goal time in the speedrun of Dark Souls Remastered All Bosses and set a world record of 1:01:46! For better understanding of the speedrun, I have added post commentary to provide further insight into the major tricks and glitches used.
You should watch me live on Twitch:

If you have any further questions about the run, either post them here or ask me in my Twitch stream!

We are practicing a brand new run right now, so seeing the improvements should be a lot of fun! 😎✌
What’s the new run?
We are running All Achievements now!
@@catalystz Nice that will be interesting to watch
Definitely wanna see you speedrunning thru all achievements! Hope you release some footage of it soon :)
Impressive mate. I been watching these, and trying for years. Didn't even know it was still a thing. What is different is how you a) respond to comments in your run omg! and b) then overlay educational explanations and what you are doing and why, and why other suggestions may be slower.
Awesome man, praise the sun
"But throughout the entire run, it ends up saving about two or three seconds." The lengths people go for speedruns amazes me. The sheer amount of optimization is crazy.
Now figure you get the WR wit an amazing run and 1 hour later someone beats you by just 1 second because they did that trick. It would be absolutely devastating for you to loose your hard earned WR just because you were too lazy to do the trick.
Just realize he did 3632 attempts. That's insane.
*4 kings instantly melts to dark beads*
"ah man that fight was terrible"
Without having watched the video yet: swapping weapons to sprint faster?
Well...speed
I like how pinwheel is so amazing he doesn't even need his own segment in the run
same with fire sage
I guess there isnt a loading screen (either due to a warp or a bon-out or a death) after him, so it would introduce unnecessary manual error if there is a split for him. In most other places since the timer pauses, the split points are consistent and have 0 human error.
@@GMPranav great explanation
@@MobyDrip
Also centipede
I remember seeing a message saying "Weakness: everywhere"
Gratz on the record dude.
DAAAMN , what a run.
Loved the commentary explaining the most frequent questions people have and glitch/pathing reasoning !!!
This further proves that Cata really cares about informing his audience, I mean we already knew that but he's a cool guy.
This just further proves that Cata is in fact a cool guy
The Goat. Cannot wait for you to smash DS1 All achievements then watch you lose your sanity while attempting to do Dark souls 2 all achievements until Elden Ring.
I don't like this spoiler.
How about soulsborne trilogy all achievements speedrun.
This is why I love speedruns and speedrunners lmao
1:08:34 just after getting the world record "what a mediocre run"
seriously though, congrats! also it was more informative than nearly any other run I've seen too!
there's this one video called "why speedrunners hate their runs" that explains this pretty well. they put in hours of practice to be perfect, so any mistakes are failures while successfully performing a trick is expected.
This is exactly what I'm always looking for when I look for speedrun videos - I looove hearing the explanations, and really fun to watch a world record run too!
You are doing such precise skips and still keeping up with your chat real often, amazing streamer you are. Congrats
I see what you did there 30:24
Also, love this commentary, it's very well planned and you clearly put a lot of work in it.
Nice and informative with the post commentary to explain things.
I especially liked the mic popping icon up to let us know it was post commentary speaking. Really intuitive for me.
I love that you’ve been putting regular content out. Even on the short videos, it’s all interesting and engaging to watch. Thanks for also caring about/supporting the community!! Really cool to hear all the details as you did them. Good work.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
This is a great video! I love the commentary that explains tricks and skips to help us get a scope of what's going on, as well as the skill required to do it. Gratz on the record!
Okay, I had no idea that you're actually a top speedrunner. Props and congrats on the record!
@Bass&Drum you act like that should be known by anyone
@@HYLOBRO tbh it reálky should
@@rustamaniacc3922 I knew he was, so it’s not news to me, but can you imagine saying that to anyone in real life? “You don’t know who catalystz is? Omg he’s #1 in a bunch of categories, you’re so strange for not knowing” like obviously nobody would know what the fuck you were on about.
Loving all of your new uploads lately, Cata. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot, John!
Amazing work! I also appreciate the commentary, despite having watched a bunch of DS speedruns and whatnot because I have a swiss cheese brain and forget things easily.
What a fantastic run to watch! It goes to show how determined you are as a speedrunner and I respect that. I remember the first time I saw you speedrunning this game at a gdq event and how you mentioned something about the lava hurting your eyes, so you wore a different type of glasses (which was a cool moment). It's fun to watch you play or just talk about stuff from other games, you are a chill dude Catalystz.
Lol
"Ahh, this lava hurts my eyes. Let me switch glasses really quick."
"SO COOL".
Sorry, this isnt meant as an insult or anything, I just thought it was funny lol.
@@jojoversus1100 I didn't remember that detail. I guess it ain't cool anymore. 🤣
Great run, love the very useful commentary. I'm familiar with the game but not the speedrunning of it, so all the explanations were perfect! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. This should be considered the golden standard for speedrun videos. As someone who last kept up with Dark Souls All Bosses when it was around 1:40 there is a lot going on here that I am not completely familiar with. I imagine it is an even better experience for someone unfamiliar with the game
"I imagine it is an even better experience for someone unfamiliar with the game"
I can confirm this.
I played DS1, but never really took an interest in speedruns.
The explanation at key points of the speedrun massively aided understanding, enjoyment, and how insanely impressed I am right now.
Phenomenal speedrun video. Whatever about the run itself, it's easily the best presentation I've ever seen for any speedrun video.
Congratulations. The vídeo is very enjoyable and the tricks are well exploited.
Explained
I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you for putting this commentary over it.
It’s crazy how far speedrunning strats have come. Congrats on the record!
This is such a great run and I watched the whole thing b/c commentary. Keep it up!
This guy at the 1 hour mark:
I have killed almost all bosses, now there's only Gwyn left to own, and own him I will
Me at the 1 hour mark:
Ah, Firelink. We meet again
not if you farm the hollows in the asylum.
@Luis Martinez they’re probably talking about the elevator before gargoyles
This is the first video I've seen from you and I'm quite happy that you appeared in my recommended, I look forward to seeing your next vid
Love this vid and grats on the WR! I remember watching you run the same category at AGDQ
Sick man! Appreciate the work for the video, thanks for the great explanations
As someone who just recently started watching speedruns; this is the first I've seen with in-depth commentary and it is very informative. Great video :)
This is great, cata. Re-watching this just because it’s so good.
Amazing speedrun and commentary!
Loved this run and format mate, I understand some of these big skips more on a technical level. Also I've been watching your runs for awhile and never did a magic run in the game, seeing the cool tactics you use finally got me to try it out when I felt like picking it up again recently and it lead me to putting the time into getting the platinum trophy for the game, even ended up doing a faith build to finish off the "obtain all miracles" one. When I go back to DS2 some day I think I'll do magic too. Bed of Chaos is still the one part that I can never get good at, he's such a dick.
I've watched like 10 speedruns of DS1 and yours are by far the most entertaining and informative runs
greets from germany, keep going!
Catalystz I'm happy for you in 3 days you've gotten more views than some of your videos from a year a go that got me to start making speedrun routes and all kinds of other crazy thing I wouldn't have without your videos I think I really like your runs with commentary and hope you keep it up and are well
I really enjoyed the format of combining stream footage with prerecorded narration. Makes it less chaotic than a typical VOD, but it still remains quite personal.Great video overall, cheers!
New to the Dark souls speedruns and really enjoyed the commentary! Cheers
i really love these vids, they really help explain the optimizations for runs. always very informative, thanks cata.
i really like this type of explanation video and I love watching you one shotting bosses XD please continue
Reading about this new ds2 skip at ~ 35.00 makes me really interested, do you plan on covering ds2 glitches on your channel as well someday? I really love your technical explanations of skips and it would be really interesting to see them for other soulsgames too
I have definitely thought about covering the other games from the series as well. I need to make sure I conduct more research before it first, however. Also I do not have as many tools available for video creation with the other games, but I'll try to make my way around that. Thanks for the kind feedback!
Ds2 does have a pretty strong following. The criticism of the game kinda creates a misleading expectation that the game isn't well followed. But there will be people to watch it- a smaller crowd, for sure, but a ravenous crowd, definitely.
@@TheJanitorIsIn You're right about that. I actually know more people that say it's their favorite over DS1 & DS3. No joke. I personally love it, & if it was just a "Souls-like" & not an actual Souls game, it would still be the best Souls-like around. It's an absolutely gorgeous game filled with tons of fun secrets, fun items, & what I think is the best DLC they've ever done.
I really liked this kinda commentary over raw runs, keep it up
I just started ds remaster a few weeks ago after finishing blood borne and I’m in love with the series and this speed run is very cool
"You need to have some sense of progression otherwise what is the point of leveling your character in the first place"
Sadly, that sums up my thoughts on Nioh exactly. Sure, you can level up your stats and get new gear, but when every new challenge is still balanced towards your new level and gear values, nothing really has any meaning anymore. Get 2 shot at the beginning of the game, get 2 shot at the end of the game. Gear is meaningless, stats are meaningless.
I agree, I found Nioh 2 even harder and the balance made me actually quit because it was just no longer fun
Sadly I agree. I only played Nioh 2, but I had to stop to preserve my sanity. Even Dark Souls SL1 runs are better than ordinary Nioh 2 playthrough
Facts. Enjoyed both Niohs to a degree (finished them both to the end) but can't stomach a replay, the progression is horrible and damage is insanely unfair. What's the point of even having a healthbar if you just get wiped out in a second by every single enemy, big and small? Meanwhile enemies take 800 slices to kill individually.
This is incredible. I can’t imagine the time and dedication put into something like this. Well done!
Im enjoying this a lot! Great video
I'm not familiar to DS1 speedruns at all, but god damn that Bed of Chaos kill in merely a couple of seconds and 2 firebombs made me feel avenged for all the time I spent running back to that boss after some BS knocked me out of the map, or the floor colapsed exactly under where I was running in the arena. It was incredible to watch, almost surrealistic, as was the rest of the run. All the respect to you sir, a true master of your craft.
Great vid man! Would love to see more similiar but for other categories and other souls games!
Working on it! Another one is in the pipeline for PTDE All Bosses!
that door wall jump to get to lower undead berg and get the gate opened early is pretty sick, iv never seen that before. i think ill add it to my playthroughs.
i'm not good enough to try to get speedruns but i like to use the different movements.
like i use sens fortress skip and then get the hero soul level up my weapon get some levels, then go back and kill gargoyls
Awesome work cata. I'd definitely watch more commentated runs. Now the AA grind begins.
this is incredible. Great job, great video
This was such an amazing watch!
I absolutely love listening to you talk, such a pleasure hearing your very well articulated and argumented topics.
The commented run rocks!!! Congratz cata!!
You’re an amazing content creator man keep up the good work man!
Amazing, dude. Congrats!
Yo cata good looking out 💯 …was looking for something like this
Awesome man. Congrats.
You're wrong about the Switch though; it's not about kids or parents, it's about portability. Most of us have normal jobs, with long commutes on public transportation. Being able to play proper indie games on the subway, with a controller? Life changer dude. Same reason I pre ordered a Steam Deck. Not all of us can be so lucky to have a job sitting at their gaming PC playing games all day 🙄. And Steam Deck can't flop; it already got crazy preorders, even when it was limited to one-per-account and $5 down.
Awesome commentary my dude
this is so sick congratulations chief
"I really hope you enjoy it"..."I mean I don't think that's going to be the case"...amazing how it seems to be related but is a completely separate subject...glad you put the clarification below
Sick run. Subbing for sure
Amazing run!
I starded to play Dark Souls recently. At first I was very frustrated with the game, but now I'm hooked haha
Something that i was waiting for and nobody made it. Until now that is.
This is great content. A game this old seems super intimidating to speed run but this commentary explains everything it helps so much
Great video; highly entertaining :)
AWESOME RUN CATA!! and I thought I had DS skills. PRAISE THE SUN!!! \[T]/
Gotta be one of the best speedrun videos.
This is the first video I watched from now and it’s fucking amazing great job
awesome job man! congrats! :3
It's amazing how much longer the video is than the IGT.
Do you have a consistent method for doing the prompt swap glitch in terms of lining up the selections properly? The tutorial i've seen just says move the d-pad right-down but it's not as consistent as it seems in your runs.
You can hold it down for a little bit, the menu on the back will progress twice while the brightness menu will switch just once. That is the method I use.
47:00 On the subject of bad PC's affecting gamplay in DS1R I tried playing with a bad laptop and it led to a bunch of glitches. Doors that were supposed to be locked wouldnt load and I actually never was carried to lordran by the bird after activating the cutscene, I died to torch hollows with my asylum souls. I doubt it would be usable in a speedrun due to the lag but this reminded me of it.
Great video. Subbed.
I'm 2 minutes in and I know I'll be watching this to finish tonight. and congrats!
first of all congratulations, doing a speedrun like that requires an incredible level of concentration and a long study of the time it takes to complete each little step. But I wanted to ask, wasn't the multiplication of souls glitch possible with just 999 arrows? or is this of a different type?
Going through a loading screen sets the quantity value to 0, allowing for up to 99 to be selected. 999 arrows obviously allow more souls to be gained and they are utilized after O&S, but it is not a requisite.
@@catalystz allright thank you
I was hours in before I beat the gargoyles, have no idea how you did this so swiftly
Congrats cata!
I can't wait for Cata to make a video about how All achievements has improved since the beginning.
So I get jumping over the unstable wall but how do you jump without running off of that cage in Sen's Fortress to get to Big Hat Logan. I've tried several times myself with no luck.
the dude in the chat saying he gets lost in ds3 and doesn't know where to go must be an ign game reviewer lmao
It can happen.
He’s too short to see past all the barrels.
i really dont understand man. Apart from Demon Souls, its the most linear souls game i ever played. Never played Bloodbourne tho. Imagine what will he do in DS2 Lmao
@@darklurkerirl6101 I didn’t really know where I was going in bloodborne but I think you could figure it out after a bit
It is very weird to see you not being angry after beating Gwyn 😃 I remember all those 'I suck at this game', 'This game is bullshit', etc
It had been hilarious.
Even though I’m a big of humility, you should be proud of the world records you set. Like you said, “speed runners generally don’t have that.” Be humble, but also be proud of the effort and dedication you put into your record. 33:17
Id love this for all achievments
Hi, was wondering about practising. I music we play the song all the way through even if you make a mistake, so you get good at the whole song.
I speed running I see people reset the moment something doesn't go right. So the end game gets less practice. Is this an issue, and how do people get good at the end game?
Always love to see a new DS wr! Congrats man!
EDIT: Hadn't seen that gold foggate skip yet. Seems like you don't have a lot of time to get that at all, really cool to see!
congrats man, well played. everything is great but I think if you can reduce the peaking from your microphone it could be that much more enjoyable. again, good stuff
I have a couple of questions
In the first 10 minutes alone. How was the gate behind boar in the Undead Parish open already and how was Lautrec at Firelink without saving him
I always appreciate it when the speedrunner explains the various tricks and skips and glitches
Great run, cat!
Hey do you have a run, or could you do one with English text, I want to try speedrunning this game and I just want to know which items to pick, like from shops and such
Is there a similar souls glitch for ptde ps3? I know the one for boss and firekeeper souls only
Doesn't one shoting Priscilla gets you stuck in a softlocke so how come that didn't happen when he killed Priscilla in one dark bead.
It's random, I did not mention it in the video, but there is a chance of it happening. Not going for the oneshot, however, lose too much time.
With most games speed runs I watch I feel I can emulate at least some of the skips but with this one I’d be proud if I could even do one skip never mind the insanity of chaining them all together like this.
I have done some of the glitches you show here on both original and remastered games. But for different reasons, to keep the areas alive for PvP and coop fight club fun. Controlling the character is real bit¢h( ps3/ps4) when the glitches are done, heat down how easy and perfect you're doing them and moving the character.👍
Hot damn that’s quick
Do you have a video like this for any % remastered? Ive been looking everywhere for details but cant find any. Just starting running on console because ive realised i can do a lot of the glitches so far.
Really just not sure what weopons to use once in anor londo, sorceries? Black knight halberd? Theres so many videos but all versions of the game get confusing and all the catagories too.
3:57 Am I the only person who has NEVER seen that door-kicking animation before?
i like your videos friend,i've learnt many things but i still struggle at nullifying fall damage, i have ptde but i don't think there's a difference between it and remastered
I have never seen four kings killed as fast as you killed them, and it was "slow" lol. Speedruns are crazy
