Hey Dist, I'm not a subscriber on Twitch, but have been one on UA-cam for quite some time, would just like to thank you for providing content that allows me to sleep very soundly almost every night for the past 4 years, Something about speedrunning and commentary just puts me to sleep so easily. Keep on keepin on brother
Is the melee-only route the new best overall route for all bosses or is it just a “variant” of the all bosses category but not better than the usual route?
The dupe glitch takes time and is pretty much pointless for the run to level up further. With the stats we get, our damage is already close to as high as it will be. Only thing that would benefit is going 99 str but would rarely save hits throughout the run considering most bosses are dead in a few running attacks anyways.
Can anyone explain how he dupes 99 dragon scales when the wiki says prompt swapping for item drop quantity doesn't work on PTDE? I'm trying to learn the run and confused asf lmao
Pretty crazy that if someone manages to do a perfect run (which would be insanely hard, given all the difficult tricks, glitches and sometimes RNG dependent moments) DS1 all bosses could go "well" under one hour
he uses a glitch to equip it so it turns into the red tearstone ring as it has the same name in the files so he doesn't have to go to valley of the drakes
Dude at this rate you're gonna clear this under an hour before too long. I mean this purely as a compliment when i say this, you speedrunners are crazy. Lol
The moveswap glitch too so he can do that running thrust that hits twice per attack. I think that also bypasses the stat requirements for the dragon tooth as well
I respect distortions2, he is nuts. He just goes from speed game to speed game, spends 50+ hours a week mastering the movement mechanics down to a science, as well as near emulating a TAS for EVERY speedrun trick known to mankind (these took YEARS for all of mankind to come up with). Then distortions2 corrects the community!! He tells them what is even BETTER than the best strats all of humanity’s intelligence could generate over years, found by his superhuman brain in just days, if not hours. And they listen. They know they will never see another runner like distortions2 visit their speed game. He’s one of a kind magic. And then distortions2 uses those new strats his big brain invented and works his frickin ass off for another week. UNRELENTING. And I can guarantee this! What if he hates a trick he is bad at? Then how about 7 hours not leaving until he is the best there has ever been in the history of forever?! Done! And it then it all pays off with a MASSIVE World Record in just two weeks. The former world record holder applauds because he just witnessed awesomeness. And because he learned so much. And then distortions2 is onto the next game. And that is why I respect distortions2 so much.
U realize that he is using other people's strats in his runs right?(well ofcoarse because he is not the only one that makes discoveries)..he is not the only intelligent runner in ds1 community(no hate to him because he is a great runner but he is not the best in ds1)...there a people who are not on UA-cam but are still continuing to put in the work and grind away at these games discovering new things .it's very insulting when there are other people working behind the scenes yet they get almost no credit for thier work from casual watchers..but it is what it is since they are not popular I guess..BTW it's been 8months since this "new route" and he is nowhere near the fastest time(59min51sec) so your point about him beating records in 2 weeks does not apply to ds1.
Yes, you can! But the problem is it takes over thirty arrows to cut it off if I'm not mistaken. He does it like this because it saves a lot of time if you just hit the tail with a weapon covered in electricity. Remember he's trying to do it in the fastest way possible.

Very much the same stand point as I
same here 100%, it's like staring out the window in a moving car and just watching everything fly past as you drift off :)
Holy shit me too! Speedrunning content is what I’ve been sleeping to for literally months now
Best compliment to a speedrunner ;D
So true my friend, top quality content!
Wow, this new route hurts my head. It's crazy how many new glitches and techniques there are now. Amazing stuff. Congrats on the PB.
good run. will you play dark souls 2 when it comes out ?
I am so hyped for his first playthrough of Dark Souls 2
There is dark souls 2 2 comming
My dad is from soft he said dark souls 2 will be the hardest dark souls
😂
It's already out. It's called Dark Souls 3
I haven't watched any DS speedruns in a while and this blew my mind haha. Good work!
Every time u break ur record again it’s just another consecutive kick to the balls for dark souls
Could anyone explain to me what the new route entails? Awesome run Dist
This has to be the coolest skipp. Immediately follows up with equal
The "enemies you can jsut walk past" had potential to become a classic Souls pasta
FeelsYepMan the good old speedrunning days
How could you… black firebombs are NOT melee! We’ve all been bamboozled!
hyped as fuck on this new route
Pog
Dist is the GOAT with the goatee to show for it
Lowkey reminded of Ymfah's Man vs Wild escaping sens fortress thing....Amazing
what are these new strats? new Dukes GFG skip AND a new early Kalameet? when did these get optimized?
Good stuff bud, still clapping ass in my kitchen till it breaks watchin you!
Hi distortion great run
I just want to ask why did you run the original rather then the remaster?
Is the melee-only route the new best overall route for all bosses or is it just a “variant” of the all bosses category but not better than the usual route?
Best route.
congrats brother
Dist Souls will never die.
He dist great run as always. Why didnt you do the soul duping glitch in this run to level up fast?

@@distortion2 Ah makes sense, thanks :)
Would really appreciate a speed run breakdown, especially on Res Evil 8... pretty please with sugar on top 😀
Just wait for the tomatoanus vid on it.
Can anyone explain how he dupes 99 dragon scales when the wiki says prompt swapping for item drop quantity doesn't work on PTDE? I'm trying to learn the run and confused asf lmao
What's the purpose of the glitch at around 29:00 where he gets into Duke's Archives?
How you make that front kick with dragon tooth ?? Is it hack or something ?
Great indeed!
Pretty crazy that if someone manages to do a perfect run (which would be insanely hard, given all the difficult tricks, glitches and sometimes RNG dependent moments) DS1 all bosses could go "well" under one hour
I believe cata was going for a sub 1 hour but then ER came out so hes running that now
Sub 1Hour is it actully possible if played Near Perfectly?? because that will be a big Hype moment
Late here but sub 1h barrier has been broken by another runner
@@desmondgovender3142 Probably didnt expect a response so fast but ill defintly check it out!
How was the Moonlight Butterfly kill performed?
Abusing its hurt box alongside putting the pike running r1 onto dragon tooth
@@jkws0 so without move swap, its possible to hit it with the pike's normal running r1?
Is this worth getting on the Switch?
what's the red sign soapstone picked up for?
he uses a glitch to equip it so it turns into the red tearstone ring as it has the same name in the files so he doesn't have to go to valley of the drakes
Good job dad
Why are you swapping items in your hand while running?
RNG manipulation
It is very slightly faster
Animation canceling the start to a run
31:58 as it turns out, this was the urn
Dude at this rate you're gonna clear this under an hour before too long. I mean this purely as a compliment when i say this, you speedrunners are crazy. Lol
GODGODGOD
Well played. Crazy I'm a year late lol
What's his damage setup? Dragon tooth, rtsr and what else?
The moveswap glitch too so he can do that running thrust that hits twice per attack. I think that also bypasses the stat requirements for the dragon tooth as well
@@SamsarasArt he has stats to 2hand it
no blight town?
Can someone explain to me how he quits the game and spawns somewhere else?
When is sub hour?
Why did he take the red soapstone in Ariamis?
Check 25:30 he uses it for a glitch.

lol what a salty reply
Dist you really need a couch to explain all these skips to a noob like me😅
Can anyone tell me how to do that running attack?
moveswap from a weapon that has it
If you shoot the dragons tail off with arrows you can get the Drake sword
Yes, you can! But the problem is it takes over thirty arrows to cut it off if I'm not mistaken. He does it like this because it saves a lot of time if you just hit the tail with a weapon covered in electricity. Remember he's trying to do it in the fastest way possible.
@@marcosgarcia662 if you upgrade the bow it takes only 21 arrows
@@DVRX17 U can skip the cutscene
@@DVRX17 It only takes between 5-7 minutes with arrows tho
@@DVRX17 🤣
thumbnail says melee only but one minute in and there's fire bombs
Its a bit clickbait I suppose but thats the only boss we kill with anything other than melee :P
what’s the difference between this and the world record route? and what do you mean by melee only????? im so lost
Using melee for damage instead of magic
Dist...
When a Dark Souls All Bosses speedrun barely resembles a Dark Souls game anymore...
That the newgame+ is Ez bro.😂😂
