- PART 3 - • Artorias Of The Abyss ...
At this point in the run our power level is quite high so it's more of a themed run than a challenge - interestingly the beginning of the run was much harder and more complex than the ending. I really enjoyed replaying dark souls remastered, it's been amazing to see everyone else enjoying it as well!
Vagrants are such an exciting moment when you find one
Wait they're uncommon? I've already found 2-3 and i'm on my first run. No evil ones though.
@olivewooled1297 that's crazy I've finished the game 6 times
But just now found out they existed😂
i found two on my first run leading up to gwyn, was so confused on why there was two evil crabs shooting me and then i found out they're super uncommon
I'm on the unremastered edition so I don't think I can find them :(
@@olivewooled1297its like the stars aligning because another playernin their world has to lose a lot of humanity or souls (i cant remember which) and that makes the vagrants spawn. (feel free to correct me if im wrong)
>Coolest armor set
>Cool weapon and aesthetic
>Cool moveset
>Amazing damage
>Easy to obtain
Wow, I love crystal weapo-
>Barely any durability and cannot be repaired
>Can buy some infinitely (I think?)
@@FloaydiYes, but it limited and it does not make up for the anonwance of farming
@@guilhermegaspar752 anonwance💀
@@themustardman219 forgot how to spell that
@@guilhermegaspar752 annoyance?
Fighting Gwyn legitimately instead of freehand parrying? Impressive.
have you tried doing it with a crossbow or just by poising through the attacks while 2 handing a long sword?
I thought the same when he didn't drop ceaseless discharge
@@k.m.m.a81 I've slain Gwyn with one weapon of each type. Sorcery was stupid easy, catalyst was not. That run is like using a slow, weak spear with only one attack.
Honestly I find that easier than parrying.
@@luna7157 I've killed Gwyn with a Black Knight Halberd in my left hand (shield hand)...was not fun :D
(I did an an entire run with left hand only)
The Age of Mythology music still slaps.
always 💯
I will always remember my first vagrant encounter. It was my first playthrough and my friend was telling me where to go. I climbed the tower in the taurus demon boss room and there it was, right behind one of the hollows. It killed me instantly with that ranged attack. I thought it was a normal enemy until my friend told me that he had never seen it before in his original playthrough.
I don’t think I've ever seen anybody genuinely kill Ceaseless!
I did, obviously the first time playing you shouldn’t (and I didn’t) know how to cheese him
@@Ruggi21 i actually cheesed him by mistake the first time believe it or not. So this is the first time i saw someone fight him legitimately
It's so easy to kill legit I didn't even consider there was a cheese.
He killed me a couple times the first time i got to him(Right after i killed Quelagg) So i leveled up and came back to kill him. Imagine how silly I felt when I watched a challenge run after I beat the game, where they kill Ceaseless the right way.
I have a question! If I was to do the DLC with this character in NG+...
how would you like me to do it? Keep it as is with crystal-only? Lmk :]
I think it's definitely worth attempting
give it a try with crystal only for sure :D
Yes plz
yes absolutely! i was a little dissapointed you didnt mention the dlc in the video, but i did have a fun time watching your playthrough!
Yeah do the dlc with only crystal
I had a Vagrant in my first playthrough as well which was an enormous surprise as I knew them to be extremely rare. There's been an effort by the community to help increase the spawn rates of these enemies by dropping items around the world as you play that eventually turn into Drift Bags. If you have a Drift Bag spawn in your game and leave it alone long enough it can pass on to another person's world where it might eventually turn into a Vagrant.
This is the best dark souls challenge I have seen in a while
Please do the DLC! I loved watching this playthrough and would love to see more!
6:55 not sure why, but the Titanite chunk drop celebration danse followed by the arrow to the back + the cut is peak comedy timing
😂
I agree 100%. It was so perfectly timed in a way that would be near impossible to set up on purpose.
The Age of Mythology soundtrack in the background really takes me back. very good choice
i actually love seeing the ceaseless discharge fight not being cheesed, usually people use the 1 hit method
First person to actually fight Ceaseless Discharge legit in a challenge run ever
What a great way to start my Saturday 😊
Your run through Tomb of the Giants reminds me of my Sorcery-only playthrough. I made a point to clear out and explore as much of the area as possible (something I had never done up until that point) with the help of Homing Crystal Soulmass. Such an op spell lol
Cant wait to see Sunlight beat Dark Souls with blindfold on
woah now, lets not get too ahead of ourselves... :P
@@SunlightBlade Broken Straight Sword run?
If for the crystal run he had to beat ds1 with the crystal set on, for the blidfold run he just has to beat ds3 with cornyx's headpiece... logic checks out
this is such a fun video, i really love when people do challenges around less used items, they can often be some of the best! or at the very least look really cool!!
the crystal set helm is my favorite looking armor so this is a gem of a vid
Second rarest thing in dark souls: legitimately fighting ceaseless
Can we just appreciate the age of mythology music in the background? Love it.
Still diligently waiting for The Geologist to take on the DLC.
It was fun to see a more casual video of a challenge run.
Love the "mythic" music in the background ;D Took me back to a good nostalgia trip (lovely vid as always ofc
fighting gwyn no parry is one of the best experiences in all of Dark Souls
I just wanna say...I love you, SunlightBlade. I watched you since 2015, when I sit in the blackout and watched your top 10 videos at night because electricity has been turned on at nights. Thank you for your content even 8 years after.
Through out all my years playing souls games, I've never one seen a Vagrants. So this is definitely an eye opener for me. Thanks for showing that.
I know that you already finished this run, but:
slumbering dragoncrest ring is your friend, if you wear that Seath can't hear you since he's blind, so you can attack him from anywhere and he'll just blindly attack trying to hit you.
It also works for avoiding Nito's giant buddies they don't aggro when you wear the ring. You can go further into the boss arena than just the front door.
Well done on completing the challenge dude! Must've been so hard mainly cuz of the various restrictions and the fact that you can't repair the actual Crystal Weapons (not the infused weapons). Very well done.
0:10 skeleton jumpscare attack.
I love the vagrants, I was in Dukes Archives the other day helping randoms with Seath and when I came back to my world a evil vagrant spawned on the left bookshelf and shot me in the back with all the spikes. Gave me a good scare and laugh after it killed me.
the age of mythology music in the background
Ahhhh the Super Mega ULTRA RARE enemies of Dark Souls 1 haven't seen those in quite a while congrats on beating the main game with Crystal Only gear
This was a really chilled and enjoyable challenge run to watch.
Take my like!
Heck yes I have been waiting for this!!! The second I saw it I clicked it!
I so wanted to make a similiar run and seeing you do one made me want to go back to that idea. Also both the videos are great, congratulations!
So glad to see the finale!! Let's goooo
These games age so well. I still rock a playthrough roughly every 18 months.
The sheer variety of weapons/armor makes them so much fun to replay. And they're short enough that it doesn't feel like a slog to get through.
I've played through DS2 almost a dozen times myself.
@@Hiushisan Nice!
@Hiushisan I just got the ds2 platinum and started getting burned out towards the end not my favorite but overall enjoyed the journey. Going for ds1 now && I've never actually played ds1 so I'm excited.!
Aw sweet i watched part 1 yesterday and now i get to see part 2!
okay, really wouldnt mind seeing the dlc beaten with this challange. really great video. :)
AGE OF MYTHOLOGY MUSIC!! YESSSSSSSSS
BRUH! The sudden Age of Mythology music! 😍
_Nah, G, ya didn't have to go so hard with the magic mythology of this journey!_
This video gave me flashbacks to farming titanite chunks, hours of my life I had happily forgotten
8:00 if you go on the right, jump over the lava, there is a small area which is more open for the player to confront the Sentipede Demon. You will take enough damage but if you manage to jump at the right time (it´s not that difficult) you will survive. Just don´t forget to drink an Estus afterwards.
I genuinely like the two Crystal only videos keep it up
@@eightbitgameing3109 I did a crystal only run of the DLC as well in case you're interested! 🙂
I adore you using AGE OF MYTHOLOGY background music!!
I sure a jumping bean vagrant once it was pure red and I couldn't kill it in time lol😂
Jumping bean 😆
@@SunlightBlade yes it's jumps like a jumping bean and it's the most rarest vagrant in the game
I love the age of mythology background music
Really enjoyed this, I loved how well thought out it was and just plain fun.
I rate this video mid rolling for life out of 10
“Out of the darkness into the light”
Homeboy be rocking some mad Pantera.
A shorter runback for four kingsis from the darkroot bonfire. After the second elevator, jump the gap (skipping the stairs), and then roll 2-3 times (once to dodge thes ghost, and the rest to drop off the ledge). And then you're there!
Illusory wall actually did a video on the rarest enemy types! Vagrants are number two, with the gravelorded chaos eater taking number one.
A vagrant! My first ever playthrough I ran into an evil vagrant under the red drake without knowing what it was. Only months later did I figure out how rare they are.
with AOM music in the back ground, its just perfect!!
A painful request but... any chance for a similar gimmick/themed run for souls 2?
This series was so much fun to watch.
imagining manus vs this build is already entertaining to me lol
please do the dlc too
\[T]/
Literally just learned about vagrants I have never seen one in my life and knowing there's still stuff i don't know about dark souls is pretty cool
I can hear that age of mythology music in the background lol
I’m glad you chose the link the flame ending, because now you’re cooking crystal.
You earned a subscription for the Age of mythology on the background!! 😁
Woah I never saw someone kill the Ceaseless Discharge in the normal way
That sif fight hits the feels more when you do the dlc before the fight.... Good doggo remembers you
You beat seaseless discharge LEGIT!?! Mad respect
Do it... if for no other reason then being able to fight Artorias. A boss that always has a soft spot for me because that was the fight that things went from "Yeah, I understand these games now." to "OMG, I love these games."
"Journey of the geologist" is such a great series title
Gwyn is a really hard, fun and cool boss... unless you parry, then he's just some old guy
SunlightBlade: "It's been years since I completed a playthrough of Dark Souls 1."
Me: It's been years since you finished a video series. (Still waiting on Episode 2 of Spooky Bone Wheel Build you made in DS3.)
That was great. Even your voice is DarkSouls nostalgia ...
1:44 The first time I got to ToTG I had no idea sunlight maggot or skull lantern existed, so I did the whole thing in pitch darkness. I fell to my death dozens of times and got jumpscared by every giant, crawling skeleton along the way. Good times.
Super nice Video keep going with themed challanges like that
On my first playthrough I encountered many vagrants on my journey and never knew they are pretty rare to find
Huh. It's been a long time since I saw someone fight the Ceaseless Discharge straight up.
Respect.
My man did a skip to get into the depths but didn't do the ceaseless discharge trick and fought him straight up. That's crazy.
The Age of Mythology music is a wonderful touch sir :)
Love the Age of Mythology music, I've never heard anyone else use it in videos
Amazing music choice. And well played. Now celebrate with some crystal head vodka!
This looked to be a really fun challenge! I might be misremembering but I'm surprised you didn't get invaded during this run at all.
I did in the first episode, wasn't human as much in the second part!
@@SunlightBlade So I *was* misremembering! Still, awesome run, Sunlight Blade! Always enjoyed your content and hope to see you in the DLC!
I am really enjoying this challenge run. I hope we see the Crystal Knight in the DLCs as well
Excellent video, thank you for finishing this! ❤❤❤
I found my first and only Vagrant back when I was going for the platinum earlier this year. Found it in the Crystal Cave, too!
Eidas has defeated Gwyn, We could have never guessed he could have broke Seaths mind control and went a conquered everything without his Avelynn
I feel like you could have *technically* used the Moonlight Greatsword as it's clearly a sword made out of a giant crystal. Nevertheless, cool run! I enjoyed seeing that.
Eat your heart out "Can you beat DS with a [Normal Weapon]" people.
This. Is how you do a weapon challenge video!
Thank you for your hard work! \[T]/
The challenge was really cool, but I noticed that at one point you used the black sorcerer set. I can see this at minute 12:55. Doesn't change the fact that it was a great video :)
That wasn’t him using the set - he was in the repair screen and repairing his crystal armor set. You can see that when he repairs his armor it moves up on the list and then you can see the black sorcerer set that he just owns in his inventory.
Ooo sunlight! You planning on doing a unique challenge like this for the other dark souls titles?
Would be a fun trilogy
Vagrants are like shiny Pokémon in old games, Amazing Discovery
Age of Mythology music is always pleasing to hear.
I just found my first Vagrant a week or so ago in Undead Asylum. I had no idea what it was lol.
Great run, would have been nice to see the Crystal Ember used, but great regardless.
Pretty sure the darkwraiths drop titanite chunks quite commonly, and so are the best place to farm, rather than the sentinels in Anor Londo.
I was not expecting to hear the Age Of Mythology music here, quite the pleaseny surprise
I later walked blindly through the tomb because I knew the route. that was funny with the skeletonjumpscares xD
Yessss, join the ranks of Lemon as a patience elemental!
I know its gonna be a good day when sunlight blade uploads
YESSSS I loved the first episode! Excited the finale is here! Hope you do a NG+ run and play the DLC as well :)
Never seen a vagrant until the two I saw this week. Never seen them on any of my play throughs but I’ve seen the one on this video and the one on the most recent oneyplays dark souls 1 episode this week.
Playing Dark Souls as I watched this video and not 4 minutes in I found an Evil White Vagrant of my own.
I was then promptly killed by it and the Anor Londo archers, but that doesn’t make it any less sweet
Ayyyyy. Loved the first vidand was waiting for this
I don't know why my body said mask of the mother but I definitely pogged out when you got it.
The first time I found a vagrant was at the beginning area in the asylum demons boss arena I was so excited I had never seen one before I beat the game dozens of times and put hundreds of hours into dark souls and that was the only and last vagrant I have ever saw
awesome I have been waiting for this one 💪🏻
This is the first time I've seen someone actually fight Ceaseless Discharge.
Can't believe you used a song from the Age of Mythology soundtrack! Fkn legend!!
