Okay so you know that ember you got from the chest by the big chef guy? Give that to Andre, and you can use Large Titanite Shards to upgrade your weapon past +5
13:20 she's a recurring type of enemy; you may recall a Tarnished-eater from elden ring. Light armor if any and a big cleaver, this was actually inspired by someone who hacked onto the test server while the devs were making this game and invaded them while wearing that sack, and wielding that cleaver and shield.
Im jelly you get to experience DS1 for the first time, what I'd give to have that again :^) That key is for the door all the way downstairs from where you entered the Taurus Demon bossfight. Pretty iconic spot. That gold helmet guy from the depths will move to Firelink under a bridge and sell you boss armors! If you are ever in an enemy including a bosses' grab attack, MASH both R1 and L1 rapidly to break out early for less damage. This works on Gaping Dragon, Slime, Foliage, Crow Demons, Mimics, Ghouls, Clams, Nito, Centipede Demon, Chaos Eaters, Four Kings, and more etc. In the beginning of the Moonlight butterfly area if you look to your right there is a tree you can dispatch to reveal a secret-ish area that will lead you to the Wolf Ring which increases your poise (ability to not get staggered) by 40. Glad you got the Dragon King Greataxe! Grass Crest Shield is also in Garden I also like your Eastern with Elite Knight Helm fashion you should hold onto it for a little while! Also I and many others love DS2 and so does Miyazaki! Its got great PvP, looks beautiful, has a great story, some of the best fashion and it is the most unique of the series and when you get into it we in the comments will help you!
@@alanrockwell8160 I think Hawkshaw tries to paint him as way worse than he is. He's just a merchant plying his trade, and Hawkshaw makes it out to be that he's evil for not being actively friendly. I might be thinking of a Smoughtown video, though.
18:10 and there it is! The Box Art armor set! That armor is ideal for you all the way to late-game, at which point you may want something else like a boss armor.
19:34 and so you begin to see... Read the descriptions of your different types of titanite, remember the DS3 blacksmith, and use that brain of yours...
The tunnel where the merchant sells transient curses at the other end is a gate to firelink shrine making an easy run back to the cappra demon boss fight
Finally got around to watching this episode. Glad you’re figuring the game out, it’s definitely a very different approach than the newer games. I had to learn a similar lesson as my first souls games was Elden ring.
13:22 if you go left youll find a tree trunk with a chest inside hitt the wall after the chest and after that hit the wall behind that and have fun with the parkour! \[T] /
I just found out about ur channel from the bloodborne video and i'm obsessed lol. Currently watching all ur videos, you're very charismatic and funny, the persona ost + soulsborne games is fire combination too :p
the faster way to kill the slimes is actually by using the pyromancy, the guy in the barrel you've saved will teach your the pyromancy at the firelink shrine 👍🏻
You can wield the black knight sword two handed right now because you get 1,5x strenght when you two hand a weapon. So you only need to get your dexterity to 18 and you can use it.
About DS2, pvp people love it. PvE people find the boss runs mildly annoying. PvE multiplayers absolutely detest that the boss runs are long enough to get invaded.
Dark Souls 2 is awesome :) it might be a hot take, but f the haters. It has great exploration, a ton of weapons, armor and spells and it has powerstance. The lore is also top tier. Boss fights are better than ds1r but not on the level of ds3 or bb.
Missing so many NPCs. You should explore the entire area while human before taking on the bosses. You missed a Thorn Knight Kirk invasion in the depths. Can't remember if that locks you out of his armor or weapons now. Head back to firelink shrine to find the pyromancer you freed from the barrel and get a pyromancy flame. No stat requirements for fire spells. Best magic in game.
So you wanna know what I think? I think you should upload some Monster Hunter videos lol. I'm new to Souls games but I'm a veteran MH player (CB main).
5:22 yep, that order is how it's intended, pretty much. I will say, after Ornstein and Smough, do Great Grey Wolf Sif then Four Kings, to get the big lore dump I was talking about. After you beat O&S, make siempre to NOT talk to the worm thing at fire link shrine anymore. What worm thing? You'll see.
Maybe this comment should be placed on the gargoyle video. You can slide down ladders by holding space. Its bugged for controllers. FREE CAM! USE FREE CAM MORE. DO NOT LOCK ON. CLAW GRIP. INDEX FINGER ON CIRCLE. THUMB ON CAMERA JOYSTICK. YOU CAN DODGE IN ANY DIRECTION. BETTER FOR STRAFFING. You can run. Better to go and out of range of slow mobs. Swordmanship is about distance. And you can quickly 180 turn, run arround an enemy and stab their back. USE FREE CAMS FOR EVERYTHING EXCEPT 1 VS 1 AGAINST A HUMANOID BOSS. Also, by holding space, you can slide on ladder. I think it's a bug with the controllers.

Thanks for the tip my guy!
10:45 Welcome to Blighttown. If there's one thing you'll notice, it's that it sucks here.
Shame he didn’t pick the master key then you can skip blight town entirely
best things to do in Blighttown:
1. leave

The gapping demon is definitely top 5 bosses in the series 🗣️🗣️🗣️
16:16 Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer. NEVER get cocky in this game.
In the tunnel with the blighttown bonfire there is a treasure chest with a dragon scale in it, the upgrade material used for dragon weapons
Use your left and right attack bumpers if you're grabbed to escape faster.

One thing say: praise the sun🙌☀️(and squareface)
Appreciate the support as always my guy!
PRAISE THE SUN 🙌☀️
6:06 well, sort of. He's a merchant through and through, completely disinterested in anything but business.
Might I suggest Hawkshaw’s video on this NPC? Super interesting to me at least, hope you enjoy it too
@@alanrockwell8160 I think Hawkshaw tries to paint him as way worse than he is. He's just a merchant plying his trade, and Hawkshaw makes it out to be that he's evil for not being actively friendly. I might be thinking of a Smoughtown video, though.

There is a hidden area at the bottom of blighttown hidden with illusionary walls. Take a look =)
That reaction to the spider lady was outta pocket, but was god dang hilarious! Love your videos as usual Square Face!
the music in your vids man, love it
To give you an idea I usually do all of that (save for the butterfly) BEFORE killing the gargoyles.
19:34 and so you begin to see... Read the descriptions of your different types of titanite, remember the DS3 blacksmith, and use that brain of yours...
16:10 bro I laughed out loud at this part 😂
Good luck bro can't wait to see some of the later areas/bosses. Just subscribed, keep up the good work. FYI be careful with solaire's questline :)

Love how you got humbled at the quelag fight 😂😂😂 this is still dark souls, don't get cocky
I just found out about ur channel from the bloodborne video and i'm obsessed lol. Currently watching all ur videos, you're very charismatic and funny, the persona ost + soulsborne games is fire combination too :p
Thanks so much for the kind words and support my guy!
Don't forget to go back to the gaol where you first began. Climb to the top of the ruins of Firelink Shrine
I need more. This series is so much fun
This video in summary: Poise Issue
The Wanderer Set in Blighttown is the best defense/weight in the game. Plus it looks decent.
the faster way to kill the slimes is actually by using the pyromancy, the guy in the barrel you've saved will teach your the pyromancy at the firelink shrine 👍🏻
Peak male performance

Seeing him miss so many short cuts actually hurts
Gapping demon killed me 😂 the strat was quality
12:45 that was once the crown prince of Izaleth. He was human, once.
Dark Souls 2 is awesome :) it might be a hot take, but f the haters. It has great exploration, a ton of weapons, armor and spells and it has powerstance. The lore is also top tier. Boss fights are better than ds1r but not on the level of ds3 or bb.
Dark souls 2 was my favorite of the trilogy
D:
PEAK MALE PROFORMANCE LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
💯💯💯🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
the quite "im sorry i said that" at 6:33 killed me xD
Calling the Gaping Dragon the Gapping Demon 💀
for the love of god, pls use light roll 25% weight
Things to do in Blighttown: Leave
2:44 Lorax moment right there
"That's a woman???"
Just found this run, enjoying it so far expect for the one line slander towards DS2. You should play it :)
NieR soundtracks making me cry
The mid roll triggers me so hard xD

Sunbro dont forget to check a chimny in the golden city there youll find an interesting armor;)
Gaping Dragon❌️ Gapping Demon ✅️
Got Gapped by English, damn
Unequipping armor only when the boss is at 10% is kind of the opposite of peak male performance 😅
Peak male performance 🙏🏽
💯💯💯
Nice trolling Guys, he forgot that Str in two hand stance 1.5X. Make him grind 32 Str over 22 of needed and ignore 18 Dex - was clear move~
So you wanna know what I think? I think you should upload some Monster Hunter videos lol. I'm new to Souls games but I'm a veteran MH player (CB main).
Fun Tip:
If you level up DEX
at 45 or above, you'll notice
The Weapon Swings faster
Holy sh!t, I don’t think anyone has mentioned that yet, thanks so much
@squareface8572
No worries, man, happy to help out
So, Sens Fortress next. I really wish you luck Square coz thats a lotta shit in there
Fr, I personally think that Sens fortress is worse than Blight town
5:22 yep, that order is how it's intended, pretty much. I will say, after Ornstein and Smough, do Great Grey Wolf Sif then Four Kings, to get the big lore dump I was talking about. After you beat O&S, make siempre to NOT talk to the worm thing at fire link shrine anymore. What worm thing? You'll see.
thought you had to do 4kings before O&S. But maybe it's just before placing the lordvasel?
@@McDudes It's before placing the Lordvessel, I tested it in a playtrhough just this week.
Ds2 is different.
Maybe this comment should be placed on the gargoyle video.
You can slide down ladders by holding space. Its bugged for controllers.
FREE CAM!
USE FREE CAM MORE.
DO NOT LOCK ON.
CLAW GRIP.
INDEX FINGER ON CIRCLE. THUMB ON CAMERA JOYSTICK.
YOU CAN DODGE IN ANY DIRECTION. BETTER FOR STRAFFING. You can run.
Better to go and out of range of slow mobs. Swordmanship is about distance.
And you can quickly 180 turn, run arround an enemy and stab their back.
USE FREE CAMS FOR EVERYTHING EXCEPT 1 VS 1 AGAINST A HUMANOID BOSS.
Also, by holding space, you can slide on ladder. I think it's a bug with the controllers.
my tips is dont get hit
Dark souls 2 is known for being bad, but is a lot of old school souls players favorite. It would be great content regardless just for the lols
Ds1 is so beginner friendly
You've fought Quelaag, but have you found her sister?
Dark souls 3 ng+ when?
Good ole 'Gapping Demon.' English for the win. Jk, jk. You were under duress when you were reading it :)
I played DS 2 months ago for the first time and the first area I gone to was Blighttown. Many bosses was easy af but some areas really sucked
sekiro resurrection mod when?
Actually great idea, will do that
@@TrueSquareFace dont blame me for your pain and suffering
Are you Asian or German?
Is he doing fat rolls on purpose?
ds1 is not fashion souls armor matter
True, but souls without fashion are hollow
it's always fashion souls. Also you can upgrade armor to +10 if you really have trouble surviving.
Well actually poise matters but that's about the only Stat that's important on armor. And the wolf ring usually covers the poise you need.
Just dont get hit
wear wtf you want u just need to get good if you got drip on you’ll play better w more confidence
dark souls two is both good and bad. bad in the sense that theres so much bs. theres a lot of good stuff though, the dlcs are peak
15:42
The dlc missions of ds2 are real pain in the azz.
The rest game is pretty easy.
Early gang
Wheb you get ds2, do not get the scholar of the first sin edition. Get the normal ds2 + dlcs. Sotfs is the reason ds2 is hated
