  • The final part of the crystal-only challenge run in Dark Souls Remastered!
    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
