Dark Souls: Overpowered In Ten Minutes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- A video in which I overpower a new level 1 character before even stepping foot in the Undead Burg. By taking a shortcut in the Catacombs, I was able to kill Pinwheel (with the assistance of Paladin Leeroy), obtain a family mask to help get me through the groups of angry skeletons, obtaining the Great Scythe, and ascending it to the Fire element. From title screen to the Fire ascended Great Scythe, it took just under ten and a half minutes.
As stated in the subtitles - I do not recommend beginners attempt this in the exact same way I did.

@@FeaturedPixel you give up to easily and you have no patience, surprised someone like you is even playing this game. Yes that jump is extremely hard to pull off but once you do.. wow! took me about a hundred tries as well, keep at it bro trust me, you'll get it eventually and when you do you'll be glad you did.
Fluttershy Stays High420 do you know what a joke is?
@@fluttershystayshigh4202 You're surprised that "someone like him is even playing" because he doesn't want to take "a hundred tries" learning speedrun strats for the sake of a "ten minute" strategy to get a weapon in a game where weapons don't matter that much? If you need to expend that much effort following a guide that closely, for the sake of the effing Great Scythe of all things, don't you think it's fair to say that it's more surprising /you're/ the one playing a game like Dark Souls? Play however you like but there's no reason to insult him, mate. It's a great and interesting vid but OP's point is perfectly valid.
Gratuitously Hateful UA-cam Jerk
If you wanted to skip the jump you could totally just grab Zweihander before heading to Pinwheel and Vamos. You could probably level up enough to two hand it with the left over souls.

+Jacob Cummins that's true
But his reflexes that makes it look like he memorized the whole thing, doesn't actually make it look that easy.
You can get a any black knight weapon +5 before you kil any boss. This video is pretty shitty if you want to be op.

I remember on one of my first playthroughs, I lucked out and got a black knight sword(not the greatsword) from like the very first black knight you encounter as you naturally progress through the areas. I think by the time I first met andre I had enough twinkling titanite to take it to +3 pretty much by the time I had the stats to use it effectively and yeah that definitely felt overpowered lol. Didn't mind it one bit though. I need to play through Dark Souls 1 again, it's been too long.
I always seem to get a black knight weapon and the shield, with that sword being the main one I get.
Playing Dark Souls for the first time legit (I played years ago with friends who dropped me the best gear and infinite souls lol) and i killed the first black knight and got the greatsword lol
You should fire it up once more. Praise the sun
I got the black knight halberd on my first knight
yeah I got the black knight sword extremely early and used it as soon as my stats were high enough to two hand it, I then played the rest of the game with it.
Well, after a shameful amount of 5 tries, I finally managed to..
Get to the first bonfire -_-
lol
Welcome to darksouls
Update: I've done it. Perseverance is strength. Kappa
Small tip for newcommers: Pick black firebombs as a gift, or run for them to the undead burg chest. They are really good against those lantern guys :) And can last you through multiple tries. Also don't forget to put on your ring of sacrifice after the boss fight. Don't wanna lose the souls. :)
You should probably know that this doesn't make the game easy at all. Doing this is far harder than just progressing normally.
Man I didn't know you could do this boss fight this early on. Dark Souls is more open ended than I thought.

He's actually a mesh of 3 people the father who stole from nito to try and save his dead family and bring them back to life only getting them stuck together and he is forever trying to find a way for them to become unstuck which is why you see so many copy's of himself everywhere
Yeah, true, I knew his story... Makes me feel even sorrier for him... :/ Serious mistakes were made
He's my favorite.
Killed by some warrior and a pyromancy named Test 2
Fun fact: pinwheel is actually a rotten-esque fusion of three people, a family that are all lumped together, working in the catacombs to figure out how to separate themselves and be a normal undead family again.

I didn't realize you could run in this game.
yes you did
Duck Overlord Not until I saw this video.
Dr. Froggle have you ever played dark souls
Duck Overlord Yes. I've beaten it. Running isn't required to play or even beat the game in any part. It's only really required to get the Crestfallen Merchant, but that isn't necessary to progress the game.
+Dr. Froggle you probably have to jump a few times in the game. not completely sure tho just guessing about that.
Knowledge is power. This game have hidden difficulty settings, that works as follows. You don't know stuff - its hard. You know stuff - it's easy. Damn I love this game. April 25th is coming...
hehe it's damn true
Lol, just like real life ;)
not really relevant but, GUYS, I've just killed Gwyn and beat the game!!!!! The feeling after 3 hours trying to kill that last boss is just awesome, but I wouldn't want to do that again, so tiring LOL
mobai123 took me three tries with the silver knight spear but that ONLY because its one of the longest weapons in the game. Gwyn could barely reach me lol
Soundwave I was kinda disappointed with Gwyn :D Just destroyed him with my large club :D
Keep in mind that all of this works in the remastered, but don't use the bonfire at Vamos or you'll be stuck dealing with the wheel skeletons.
I did it on my first try, FAR before getting the fast travel... I felt as if the world spawned wheels in that area, and when I finally killed all of them, a black knight could barely be seen from bellow sneacked a attack on me... then I quit it :)
lol i took the bonfire. how to get away ???

so no ones going to address how pointless getting hit mid roll to land on lower platform is totally unnecessary
That has been pointed quite a few times already. This video is nearly four years old now, so those particular comments are buried away somewhere.
I think my initial response was along the lines of; it might not be as practical, but it looks much cooler.
Really though, it's just a nifty little trick that can be used that I came across by chance. The way I see it, any new gameplay mechanic that hasn't already been discovered is good to know, practical or not.
No, but i'm definitly gonna address your spelling

R.I.P
I almost can't believe that the Asylum Demon ever gave me trouble. He's really only hard that first time you play, when you're still terrified of the game
David Copeland First time I played, I beat him up easily. Though I am used to playing a few other games(like witcher) where you can spam diving rolls all over the place to avoid enemies. Not as nice as this video, but it gets the job done.
If I had started with DeS, I would have been prepared. But like, when i played for the first time, I hadn't even seen it being played before. I knew absolutely 0 about it. I wish I could get my Souls virginity back, and lose it again. It's never quite as fun as that first time
I skipped the cutscene and missed the door.. so i fought him with my bare hands the first time around. It made the rest of the game seem pointless up until O&S though. I even enjoyed kapra demon after that. Edit: yes, I am retarded and I know that.

that shortcut jesus fuck
+Mysterie Just takes a little observation to know you can do it
Are you serious? Better strat is to savescum a black knight sword (or halberd if you're doing PVE only), get the grass crest shield and elite knights, and upgrade your weapon with the twinkling titanite you get from the crystal lizards you can find in the burg and in the grassroot basin. Add in a quick havel's and a FaP ring and you've got yourself sorted, much better than a wimpy little fire weapon.
Daiyuki117 Wouldn't even need ten to get the sword, all you have to do is get through the burg and donk the black knight with the help of the lightning pine resin and congratulations you've got a weapon that's better than a freaking +5 fire whatever. You could probably get the black knight sword, havels, 4 twinkling titanite, grass crest shield, elite knights, and FaP ring in ten minutes, and that gives you a much better weapon, plus armor which this strat doesn't provide.
Might give it a shot to see how viable it is actually.
The scythe is literally the best weapon in the game
The scythe has a long range and can can dead angle well in PVP. It's also got a long recovery time if you miss, and +5 fire is nowhere near as good as a +1 or +2 black knight sword. Video says OP in ten minutes, I say that you can be even more OP in a shorter or equal amount of time.
Baxter There are several different methods to obtain overpowered equipment early in the game, and while a lot of them do offer stronger weapons than a Fire Great Scythe +0, there are a couple of reasons I still believe this is a method worth using. Firstly because the Great Scythe is a guaranteed weapon, the ascension material is also in place, as is the source of souls. The only real requirement in doing this, is don't die and lose those souls. Also, doing this isn't achieved by the same means as luring a Black Knight into some kind of cheap fall death, which let's face it, doesn't really help a player learn the mechanics of the game.
As I mentioned, there are several methods in which an overpowered weapon (for so early in the game) can be obtained. The Gravelord Sword seems to be one that's mentioned quite often, so I'll use that as an example. I'm able to obtain that weapon and use it two-handed in just over 6 minutes and 5 seconds, and one-hand it in less than 8 minutes and 30 seconds from title screen. More powerful? Marginally (265 physical against 130/130 physical/fire). Harder to run and requires skill? Not really.
Baxter
The black knight weapons have low drop rate and they are not the best weapons in the game.

10 minutes where everything must be timed perfectly .. lol good video though
I know this is 6 years old, but it's funny to think 10 minutes back then was pretty tough to do seeing as at most he had about a year of experience. I'd say this same run by someone that's played through this entire game multiple times over the last 9 years could be done in as little as 7, maybe less not sure.
O it’s you
Naw fr... i b getting murked trying to follow these vids lol
get gud
Gordon Freeman shut your hole
The only overpowered thing here is the knowledge of the game itself. This build won't help a noob
not necessarily, but when I first watch this, I learned a fast way to get to a boss for easy souls, which is usually the first boss I fight after asylum. I usually go to Valley of Drakes to get the dragoncrest shield (+85 fire defense) and have that shield up while Paladin Leeroy does all the dirty work)
I watched this when I first started and it only took a couple tries and was very helpful ended up switching out the scythe quickly but it was still very helpful
especially once they realize later on that fire kinda sucks
Black Knight Halbred is far better than this but you need more souls since you need to be a higher level and 10k souls to +5 it, +10 twinklings, and don't forget its only 1/5 chance of dropping from the basin guy
Yeah simply knowing where to go amd how to play is the most op thing I can beat ds1 like it's nothing aswell as ds3 but ds2 I cant play for shit cause I've only played it for about half an hour and didnt like the feel of it

The nostalgia of this game is extreme. I’m glad I grew up playing these amazing games
people who are new to the game shouldnt even try this. It'll spoil their experience imo.
Welp, to each their own I guess. It may be out of left field here, but I'd actually prefer someone get a little help on the game and proceed through with the entire game, then not get any help and eventually quit. Especially since Dark Souls is such a glorious masterpiece of an RPG. I've seen a few of my friends who would have fled from Dark Souls stay just because they got a little help in the start. I think that shows some maturity as a gamer, even if only a tiny bit.
Maria Ferguson
They'll end up reading a guide and grabbing the stupid drake sword anyway.
Maria Ferguson Well it's an open route to go to so if you go there first and end up completing the area then pretty much deserve to be able to go through most of the game with ease lol
***** no reason to hate on the drake sword, you can use it to save titanite when you get the weapon you actually want to use, early game.
Makes killing the Black Knights a lot easier when you only have to parry/backstab them two or three times and thus saves you time if you need the 16 str anyways.
Marcel Krebs Or get 15+ Pyro Glove and you're set for life
This video may be ancient, but with the Remaster coming out, one thing I'd add for beginners is that there's a Ring of Sacrifice on the aqueduct you walk through to get to Undead Burg. Getting that and resting at the bonfire before the Catacombs can take the stress out of the post-Pinwheel run, as if you die with it on you can just spend the souls at the bonfire without the risk of losing them.

If you think about it, pinwheel deserves more respect. Without him our Lord and savior, Giant Dad, would have never existed.
Still weaker than a wet tissue though.
Brian Torres I wish for the remastered version, they made his hits stronger and his teleportation faster and his clones have more health. Then he’d actually be more than a nudge death.
Brian Torres I don’t understand how a game works so I don’t even know if that’s a possibly thing to do, but still.
@@Dravianpn02 I think Pinwheel was designed with the fact that you can go straight to the Catacombs from Firelink(if you're crazy/skilled enough) in mind. Weaker/worse players cant kill him as fast and thus have to actually dodge his attacks and target his clones carefully. But that makes him a weakling if you fight him when you're supposed to, like most people do.

If you're already in Catacombs, why not just go for Gravelord Sword? It comes with a absolutely free miracle, too, and if you start as a bandit you only need seven levels to use the sword and miracle. That being said, I realize that Great Scythe has way better scalings and such, but you could use this method to setup for a faith/str build.
I'm mostly saying this since Pinwheel doesn't give as many souls any more, so my method seems quicker and cheaper for some actually higher damage.
i think if you are running a dex build you may as well grab the scythe but the gravelord sword is probably the better choice for quick runs/non planned builds. this method is really dumb now since pinwheel got nerfed.
a better early overpower run would probably be starting wanderer or warrior investing early stats in 16 strength , then running down and grabbing the gls, leaving nito's tomb through the coffin and going straight to pinwheel and killing him for a mask, then i dunno go kill quelaag and ceaseless for some easy levels
Warrior only needs 3 levels to twohanded it which is when the weapon is best
started using the gravelord sword at the beginning of the game and finished the game with it :p i'm using a heavy set-up though... tower shield +15, gravelord sword +5, smough's armor and havels ring...
pff i got the black knight greatsword with a stone great sheild at around moonlight butterfly still have it
Penalty first ever play through black knight sword elite knight armor and grass crest shield with havel's ring and the red tear stone ring never let me down in pve though the black knight sword loses a lot of pvp matches
Isnt it better to use the Zweihander?
Just wondering, is Paladin Leeroy a Parody of Leeroy Jenkins?
Captain Orvok no
samasima ...because?
Captain Orvok why would he be?
samasima Why not? Leeroy doesn't sound like a regular name for Dark Souls.
Captain Orvok I'm pretty sure it is. Since Leeroy played a paladin in WoW.
OMG I JUST DID IT, I died exactly 37 times and was mad(this game actually messes with me mentally) and sad so I said I'll try it this last time if I fail oh well I'll just you know go ring the bells but I did it I finally got the scythe without dying and finally upgraded it and all IM SO HAPPY

To all the people arguing weapons in the comments; Choose your favorite moveset.
I really like the aspect of having to play efficiently when it comes to speedrunning, I wish being in a hurry wasn't such a nightmare to me
Ok
@@oogle9444 No u
or you cant get the zweihander quicker
Damn right man! Got to ng+7 with my zwei from the beggining to the end! Love that weapon!
zwei in left spear in right for me, stab to stagger then l2 on zwei up till ng+4, shield til +7
Austin Bedwell zwei in left and spear in right? that's a funny combo man lol i'll try that one day!
a better combo is halberd zwei, or estoc zwei
Austin Bedwell well usualy..no always i use ONLY the zwei, two handed
I can almost not belive it is 10 yrs and im still playing this game watching videos about it
it took him 10 min to have an op weapon. i played over 3 hours now and still have the broadsword+5 hell yeah!
Do you still have the Broadsword?
@@chaoticstarfish3401 well this comment is 5 year old so no
I remember watching this when I was 15 years old in highschool. Nostalgiaaaaa
With the remastered version coming out I feel though I had to warn everyone not to rest at the bonfire by the armorsmith. If you happen to rest there, definitely do not go through the valley of the giants. Took me like 5 hours to get from the last bonfire in VOTG back to firelink with the gear I had.
That's exactly what I just did
only 5 hours,,,? i tried to kill every enemy,,,
So... I know this is pretty old, but if you want to be overpowered, you could just start as a Warrior, raise your strength to 16 and go get the Gravelord Greatsword, takes much less time then running around Catacombs and slaying Pinwheel and all that. It has higher attack than a Fire Scythe or a Drake Sword and you can 2-Hand it to keep your strength low. Best of all, Warriors start with the Heater Shield. 100% Physical Block really helps out in the start of the game.
It has only five more attack than a Fire Great Scythe and requires rare Demon Titanite for reinforcement, though you're correct in that in can be acquired much quicker, and they both have advantages and tradeoffs in terms of their movesets. It's almost wholly a matter of preference, really.
You are absolutely correct good sir! I don't really like the Curved Great Sword moveset, and the Great Scythe is pretty awesome. Plus the Great Scythe can be buffed. It mainly comes down to your build, and what you're comfortable using. But I personally start most games getting a Fire Estoc+5 and the Hornet Ring(Which usually only takes an hour from the start of the file, depends on the Slugs in Blight Town). You can oneshot Dark Wraiths on Riposte and gather Chunks asap. I prefer the Murakumo over the Gravelord Sword, it's so broken!
Max Jerker And where would I find the grave lords sword (noob here)
Armendicus Follow this good sir's guide up until 5:16, then instead of rolling off as he does, look to the right to find an open door. At the end of the path is a Titanite Demon, a ferocious enemy early on. Search the Coffins along the left side of the room, there should be one you can interact with. But, in order to join the Gravelord Covenant and get the sword, you need an eye of death. There are 3 Eyes of Death on a corpse behind the Titanite Demon, run/roll past it and grab them. Then, go interact with the Coffin. You'll be prompted to get inside the coffin, so do so, and stay there for a good 20 seconds, you'll be whisked away into Gravelord Nito's lair. Head over to Nito's Coffin and pray to him, join his covenant to receive the Gravelord Swordance Miracle, and the Gravelord Greatsword. Since this is your first time, it'll take a few tries to get used to, but don't give up, and welcome to Dark Souls!
As a side note, it'd probably be best if you had one run through the game before trying to find everything, just so you'll have a better idea of where to find things. Enjoy your playthrough!
Max Jerker I already have the death eye ,so just go back and get in the coffin right?
the Great Scythe is OP by itself, dude :)
LOL @ the subtitle about how subtitles will only be shown when they're valuable. xD
I completed all of the steps to get to Vamos. But he doesn’t have the option to purchase items. Is there something I did wrong?
This was the first souls video I ever watched. The nostalgia is killing me ughhhhh.
Also, Great Scythe is still the best weapon.
Zweihander still good weapon
Lucerne
Big bonk 4 ever
Fire
That was great, except it's a poor use of the Great Scythe to make it a Fire weapon, unless you plan to convert it back to Normal at blacksmith Andre. The Great Scythe has scaling B, and upgraded to 14/15 has A, with dexterity. This fact, plus the weapon's reach and bleed effect, make it one of, if not the best dex weapons of the game; but elemental ascension (to fire, chaos, or lightning), loses the scaling. If you are going for a pure sorcery or miracle build, the Great Scythe will instead scale great with Intelligence or Faith when ascended to Magic/Enchanted or Divine/Occult, respectively. So, a Fire Great Scythe is only optimal for the entire game if you never level anything high (except maybe Vit and Endur).
Good video for showing how to do all this, though.
+Sims Dreamer it's probably just mostly good in the beginning until you have the stats to carry it with scaling, which won't be till mid game when you can really use it to it's full potential.
10 minutes later: I don't feel overpowered...
I’ve never even played this game before, but that was fun to watch. You should upload more.
I lost all my souls before I could upgrade the scythe! ;_;
+Tony Arevalo Then restart its not like it takes more than 10 minutes.
+Hingle McCringleberry if he lost the souls he got from the boss he'll have a hard time farming
Lookius Moladial Thats why u make a new game
Its not like that man. You look like you haven't played Dark souls and you just play shitty sports games. Its nowhere near like that
I got the fire great scythe early game, except used souls i picked up in the area (soul of a hero, etc) to upgrade, rather than kill pinwheel
I used the Halberd for the majority of my playthrough, never really thought about the other weapons until I found the Lightning Spear
After beating Ornstein and Smough, lightning halberd becomes one of the most versatile boss-slaying weapons in the game
This was... intense
I always enjoy watching these videos of people flying through a game that took me months to complete on my first playthrough. Lol. Nice vid. Im gonna attempt this run after work.
8:40 what the hell was the point of them hitting you? you can still make that ledge
Another very powerful weapon you can get early is the Zweihander, which is in the graveyard too; once upgraded to +10, it makes the whole graveyard trip a pure cakewalk, one-shotting regular skelettons and two-shotting the bigger ones. It has a Strength requirement of 24 to be wielded in one hand, but you can two-hand it without penalty with just 16 of Strength.
PS3 framerates were crazy back in the day
I dare, that when i pass from Dark Souls 3 to Dark Souls Remastered it was a fckin pain in the ass... the rolling, the inventory etc. 😟
Took me hours to do this and in the end I lost all the souls I tried so hard to get, drake sword is much easier to get and still does amazing damage for early game
Astora's straight sword can be retrieved more quickly, is more versatile for longer in the run, and isn't anywhere near as complicated as all this
@@ArcaneAnouki Great Scythe is definitely more versatile than an Astora's
@@gavriilkremastiotis1914 fair. Astoras straight blade gets me to the Halberd, which I take all the way to Gwyn lol
@@ArcaneAnouki Halberd was my first max weapon too. I just wish quality weapons were better in this game
Drake Sword is good, as long as you don’t make the mistake of spamming the special skill on every enemy like I did. It’s my first time playing the game and didn’t know that weapon skills use up a ton of durability
that pinwheel fight was pretty embarrassing tbh
ChristianTheChicken what do you mean?
why?
He got hit a lot.
I grab the silver serpent ring without hitting any bonfires and skip the bridge switches. Then die or use homeward bone. A great early game strategy. Just know exactly where ur going.
How in the living hell did you do this in one attempt? I've died like a billion times already trying to pull this shit off.
I guess you haven't finished the game multiple times... believe me after the 4th time you'll do that easily
Alex Mtz
Yeah, I spent some time into my character instead of running there blindly this time around and now I can go in there and come out with the weapon perfectly fine.
