Still continuing the challenge he set himself to do before the world ended, for what was left to do but that? He's almost done it, max leveling a character in the undead asylum, as he's acquiring the last souls from the knight, he breaths a sigh if relief. Returning to bonfire by dropping of the asylum ledge, he forgets to realise that his health is low. As he drops, the pure bliss of this challenge comes to its end. He hits the battle room floor.

      Sounds like a Souls Movie Idea where the Son gets sucked into the Game World after spending 3 or more years grinding with both having time skips whilst showing some of the progress between the years spent and then goes to level up to Max Level and realizes there's a whole game gets every item in NG then proceeds to do the same for every NG+ after as well as all the DLC then at NG+7 goes to kill Gwyn for the final time and ends it then gets back and only the 19 years had passed for all of it in the Real World gets a job and becomes rich and successful.

    You can greatly increase the amount of souls by starting with the hunter and using a soul glitch with his 30 arrows and the soul you collect. Turning those 200 souls into 6000 souls. While it won't reduce the amount of time by any significant amount, it is still a good bit of info for someone trying to get a good pvp or pve build early as you can use ~2000 of those souls to get to 999 arrows and then you can power level that way. You can get to SL 99+ before the Taurus demon and even use a master key to be able to upgrade a chosen weapon to +5 before the Taurus demon. I plan on using this for building an Artorias Build.

  • @coleballenger4595
    @coleballenger4595 3 роки тому +1

    One thing: In the example you used to set the optimal time per run, you were using the dagger. Starting as a sorcerer, can you still kill the shield hollow while using the longsword with one backstab, or is the higher crit damage of the dagger what allows the one-backstab kill in the first place? Given that you're gonna be using longswords for the vast majority of the run, if it were the case that it took more than one backstab to kill that shield hollow with it, that would relatively significantly increase the average run time.
    Anyway, regardless of that little tidbit/realization/question/curiosity, this was an amazing video. Stumbled across & watched the DS2 one first and enjoyed them both greatly. Great work, you've certainly gained a subscriber in me! 😊

    If someone wanted to do an actually possible run, I would suggest hitting the softcap on all stats
    Soul level: 248
    Vitality:49
    Attunement: 50
    Endurance: 40
    Strength: 40
    Dexterity: 40
    Intelligence: 50
    Faith: 50
    Souls required, 37,326,487
    You'll notice that resistance is absent and that is because it has no softcap and would be 99 which would triple the soul requirement to 103,103,173.
    Based on the math in the video this would take 3,535 hours or about 150 days, which while entirely unreasonable would technically be possible. Alas, it would appear this run is not meant to be.
