Ds2 can be misleading but our characters goal at the end of the day is to cure hollowing he has so in my eyes its not really misleading because its shows what happens when you slowly become a hollow.
He is playing way more than that usually, surely Hunter could cut it shorter but the audience is mostly the people who'll watch it regardless of it's length. And it's a DS3 video so less people will click on it anyways. So letting ppl watch a longer video is better, which I enjoy. I sometimes watch without alt-tabbing or just listen him, and just look at the moments he says like "wow" or "wtf has happened". Pretty sure most ppl are like that while watching Gino.
@dsuable_ They're all taken from his live streams. TH-cam is just a byproduct of that now. If he still gets massive view counts on longer formats, everybody wins.
When I need background noise to fall asleep to, he's always got my back. Thank you Gino and Hunter. I'm very glad others like the long format as well, 3+ hours doesn't perform well on most channels but he seems to have found the right audience for long form.
The big thing with Miracles in DS3 that holds them back is the lack of good early game damage options. The only good early game direct damaging miracles you get are found late into the early game (Lightning Spear and Gnaw), and a good chunk of your best options are hard locked to late and end game (Great Lightning Spear, Sunlight Spear, and Lightning Arrow). They are extremely powerful once you do get the tools to properly use them, but compared to Sorceries (Starts with decent offensive spells, gets a vendor decently early who sells more offensive spells, but has to wait till late game to get the final tome) and ESPECIALLY Pyromancies (starts with a good offensive spell, gets the vendor for it earlier than all the others, and gets all of the tomes before properly entering mid game), it definitely takes them a hell of a long time to get started properly
@SolEmpyrean ...one of those is a healing spell you get at the end of a questline (which can be completed after killing Aldrich), and the other is at the end of Lothric Castle (which is squarely a late game area if you don't kill Dancer early, which most people will not do) Neither example you gave is a damaging spell option you can get in the early game. The 2 early game damaging miracles you get are Gnaw (found in the latter half of the Cathedral of the Deep, but requires you brick Irina's questline if you wanna get it early game) and Lightning Spear (obtained half way through Farron Keep), both of which are acquired late into the early game. Compare that to Sorceries (A Starting class has Soul Arrow and Heavy Soul Arrow, can get a Sorcery seller as early as the start of Undead Settlement) and Pyromancies (a Starting class has Fireball, can get a Pyromancy seller half way through Undead Settlement), and the early game lack of damage for Miracles is very noticable
I have never interacted with technology at all, I was born in a cave in the Appalachia mountains, raised by a caveman and a Capuchin monkey, only having just discovered the internet at the age of 83, and I beat Gundyr in 18 seconds
Faith is my favorite stat throughout all the games. It may not be the most powerful outright always but it’s always fun to smite enemies acting like an overzealous priest.
Holy shit Gino! A THROWBACK RUN!? I know what it is, you heard me say I was gonna get back to my DS3 run and said "Bet!" Great video dood! Hit me right in the nostalgia, almost!
Amazing that apparently everyone had the same ideia, cause at the same time i started my new playthrough of ds3 gino posted this video and i read this comment Lol

I think the ‘Faith is bad’ thing is from Limit Breakers. “Miracle builds!” *Tidus laugh* Also very funny you used an un-upgraded Saint Tree Bellvine for Lightning Blade: that must have cucked your damage so much, since it’s calculated on Spell Buff.
This is very cool. I've seen plenty of speedruns of Dark Souls 3 but I've never seen someone who really knows the game just play around with it before.
Love seeing a DS3 video every now and then, they always make me want to get back in there (and then get distracted halfway through the run, never finishing it).
Still did decent damage on Oceiros even though you used a +0 chime for the lighting blade application lol crisp Edit: dang, on Aldrich, princes, and Gael too
2:15:44 my first ever dark souls build was a faith build on ds2. Absolutely shreds through that game, so good. That ended up being my go to first build for the other des, dsr, and ds3 as well. When I started playing ds3 tho I started talking to other souls enjoyers, no idea why people thought faith was shit
I don't often comment on your vids, but this was a super fun nostalgia trip that got me installing DS3 on my own machine. I endorse you continuing these on occasion.
1:19:05 yeah the Wakazashi is a weird one because it's a Dagger class weapon, but uses the Katana move set. Being a Dagger it can use Parry, using the Katana move set it allows you to power stance with a katana.
Boulder Heave is my favorite spell. It's so strong and bowls most enemies over. It's really an easy mode spell, especially with the ring that increases cast speed (early game).
I’ve recently been doing a challenge in ds3 doing ng+ through the starting classes, basically only the equipment from each starting class going to ng+ with the next classes gear only

Literally doing my faith playthrough right now😂 Grab by stray demon - I feel your pain 😅 survived 3 of them with 1 hp, after second thought it's the end😂
2:34 when you commented how loud it is, I have noticed that DS3 is just ungodly loud compared to any other game, like they turned the default volume up. Great game, though!

Weird not seeing the insane damage numbers we've grown used to from playing elden ring
Its all relative
It's not about the numbers, it's about seeing the yellow.
It may not be as much as elden ring, but it was satisfying seeing midir's health drop like that.
At least the numbers here are insane by ds3 standards

Can't we take a moment to appreciate how often Gino is posting 3+ hour videos. What a goat.

It warms my heart to see dark souls 3 on the top of trending. God is good 🙏😭
Praise the Sun indeed, Dark Souls never dies ironically enough lol
Brings back my lightining build memories. Canvas talisman for the perfect poise/damage balance was always my go to. Love all your videos, gino!
just when i was seeking for something to watch, clutch timing
Where you find ring for that?

Nah you get a ton of spells early just you have to learn to properly use them. Blessed weapon and bountiful sunlight are OP low level faith builds.

Old man finally giving us the Faith build
did you know that gino was stuck on gundyr for 13 hours when he started dark souls 3? never give up!
I had never touched the souls game in my life nothing ever even close too it. I was stuck on Gundyr for 30 min
I have never interacted with technology at all, I was born in a cave in the Appalachia mountains, raised by a caveman and a Capuchin monkey, only having just discovered the internet at the age of 83, and I beat Gundyr in 18 seconds
i dont exist, i oneshotted gundyr.
I am Gundyr in real life and was stuck on Player Character for 17 millennia, super unfair that he has infinite respawns.
I am a dinosaur who’s hardstuck on the meteor boss. That guy’s pretty difficult, but Gino’s story gives me motivation
Wife and me enjoyed watching this. Thanks Gino! What an incredible video. Also all deathless randomizer would go hard dawg
So happy you’re still doing DS3 runs!
Hearing the "Yes indeed" was absolute hype when the teaser dropped and seeing the gale arena and how it tied back to the opening was pure orgasm
Faith is my favorite stat throughout all the games. It may not be the most powerful outright always but it’s always fun to smite enemies acting like an overzealous priest.
Ah my beloved DS3
2:38:08 hell yeah, i'm so down for more DS3
i trust this endorsement
Holy shit Gino! A THROWBACK RUN!?
I know what it is, you heard me say I was gonna get back to my DS3 run and said "Bet!"

Bro ds3 opening cinematic always gets me dude it goes so HARD
I'm so glad you made a new DS3 vid. Would LOVE more content like this from the other games too.

Gino I just wanted to thank you for all the amazing content you put out, this is why you were my most watched TH-camr this year
ginomachino did the viable miracle build before Old Man Limit Breakers
Consort of Rick
I am at a loss for words, not at how effective it is to gorf up a boulder into your foes, but that it's somehow a pyromancy...
I'm so excited to see you play Dark Souls again! I'd love to see more!
i love the "only levelling" series, and a good nostalgia blast from DS3
What a surpruse that Gino uploaded Dark Souls 3 but I'm absolutely enjoying. from🇰🇷
Such a cool thing to go back to the older games, keep up the good work!
"A lot of people think faith is a meme stat"
>Solaire has entered the chat
ive been playing this game since it came out and im still learning things about it. Gino is one of my favorite souls youtubers.
Personally, I like memory stones more. They are admittedly a bit out of the way to get sometimes, but I just like them more.
I'd love to see more DS3 runs like this one

Gino after annihilating slightly early Dancer: "Come on man, that's too easy".

Dark souls 3 was also my gateway game into the FromSoftware multiverse back in 2017!
Nice to see someone else still playing.
You'd be surprised on how many people are still playing I still get invaded after pontiff every playthrough and also alot of invasions after new game plus.
Saw the video pop up and I was like "I swear he did this run alr- DARK SOULS 3!? Oh hell yeah brother."
the miracle build is here, old man would be proud.
Literally doing my faith playthrough right now😂
Grab by stray demon - I feel your pain 😅 survived 3 of them with 1 hp, after second thought it's the end😂
Thing i really noticed between Elden Ring and DS is thst everything in DS just has so much less health and you deal quite a bit less damage
Ds3 runs are more entertaining than eden ring runs like sir antonius’ videos for example. Pyro is prob the best build tho with chaos bed vestiges
2:34 when you commented how loud it is, I have noticed that DS3 is just ungodly loud compared to any other game, like they turned the default volume up. Great game, though!
Just when i get on my phone, Gino comes in clutch
For a minute i thought this was an old video... until i saw this was 3 hrs ago.
guess work is a tomorrow's problem, time to enjoy
1:40:09 That’s probably the second best weapon in the game right there
Sell sword twin blades: you’re goddamn right it is
who up longfingering their kirk
a gino ds3 video in the almost magnificent 2025? i must be dreaming
Realy nice run Gino! Now ill have to play DS III again, there is not other option xD
