@@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.
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 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.
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
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!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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.!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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."
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.
You should ABSOLUTELY do the DLC. You cant really say youve beaten DS1 without completing Artorias of the Abyss. Edit: Whether you do it or not, youve won ny subscription.
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

The Age of Mythology music still slaps.
always 💯
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)
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 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.
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.

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!
The Age of Mythology soundtrack in the background really takes me back. very good choice
First person to actually fight Ceaseless Discharge legit in a challenge run ever
i actually love seeing the ceaseless discharge fight not being cheesed, usually people use the 1 hit method
What a great way to start my Saturday 😊

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

Second rarest thing in dark souls: legitimately fighting ceaseless
0:10 skeleton jumpscare attack.

Can we just appreciate the age of mythology music in the background? Love it.
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
Heck yes I have been waiting for this!!! The second I saw it I clicked it!
So glad to see the finale!! Let's goooo
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.
Still diligently waiting for The Geologist to take on the DLC.
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.
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
AGE OF MYTHOLOGY MUSIC!! YESSSSSSSSS
the age of mythology music in the background
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! 🙂
Aw sweet i watched part 1 yesterday and now i get to see part 2!
This was a really chilled and enjoyable challenge run to watch.
Take my like!

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!
fighting gwyn no parry is one of the best experiences in all of Dark Souls
I adore you using AGE OF MYTHOLOGY background music!!
okay, really wouldnt mind seeing the dlc beaten with this challange. really great video. :)
These games age so well. I still rock a playthrough roughly every 18 months.

I’m glad you chose the link the flame ending, because now you’re cooking crystal.
This video gave me flashbacks to farming titanite chunks, hours of my life I had happily forgotten
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.
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
with AOM music in the back ground, its just perfect!!

4:23 That's what my girlfriend calls me
awesome I have been waiting for this one 💪🏻

You beat seaseless discharge LEGIT!?! Mad respect
"Journey of the geologist" is such a great series title
You earned a subscription for the Age of mythology on the background!! 😁
*The king has returned, BOYS! OUR SAVIOUR SUBLIGHTBLADE HAS RETURNED, OH REJOICE BOYS, HES BACK!!!*
That sif fight hits the feels more when you do the dlc before the fight.... Good doggo remembers you
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 know its gonna be a good day when sunlight blade uploads
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

Woah I never saw someone kill the Ceaseless Discharge in the normal way
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.
Ayyyyy. Loved the first vidand was waiting for this
Let the fun begin
Huh. It's been a long time since I saw someone fight the Ceaseless Discharge straight up.
Respect.
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 can hear that age of mythology music in the background lol
Can’t wait to see more!
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!
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.)
Yessss, join the ranks of Lemon as a patience elemental!
Gwyn is a really hard, fun and cool boss... unless you parry, then he's just some old guy
The Age of Mythology music is a wonderful touch sir :)
Nice video as always, cheers from Germany
Amazing music choice. And well played. Now celebrate with some crystal head vodka!
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."
Love the Age of Mythology music, I've never heard anyone else use it in videos
Vagrants are like shiny Pokémon in old games, Amazing Discovery
I am really enjoying this challenge run. I hope we see the Crystal Knight in the DLCs as well
Thanks for another great video!
On my first playthrough I encountered many vagrants on my journey and never knew they are pretty rare to find
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.
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.
Finally. The ultimate meth build.
Cool challenge, nice two-parter.
Age of Mythology music spotted! Sunlight u are a man of culture
You should ABSOLUTELY do the DLC. You cant really say youve beaten DS1 without completing Artorias of the Abyss.
Edit: Whether you do it or not, youve won ny subscription.
I don't know why my body said mask of the mother but I definitely pogged out when you got it.
Damn absolutely loved these videos!! GG on the challenge 🫡
Waiting for 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 was not expecting to hear the Age Of Mythology music here, quite the pleaseny surprise
