There's something I love about watches DS runs, like sit down for an hour and a bit, and watch someone play the entirety of a game that gave you proper headaches
IKR there's some beautiful satisfaction with watching someone kill all the bosses that killed you countless times in less than two hours... like it isn't a big deal at all
At the end when he went to the bathroom ''Varför spelar du alltid så bra när du behöver kissa?'' ''Jag vet inte'' ''Why do you always play so well when you need to piss?'' ''I don't know''
J'ai beau avoir vu ce speedrun une dizaine de fois , je resterais toujours aussi admiratif devant cette maitrise totale et absolue du gameplay :D C'est juste de l'art
I love your videos Ela i dont know why i love your dark souls speedruns so much because i can't even beat the Taurus demon haha! Just really fun to watch :)
What a really great run dude ! Just crazy to see how much you get close WR !!!! oO Like so much the way you do and keep trying and it's sure you get it soon ! ;)
+Flame Sk8er Can't 1. Dark Souls doesn't have a pause. 2. He's timing himself even when utilizing quitting out and loading in. Anytime spent after the start is marked on the run's time. 3. Pissing is for casuls
If the OnS, Manus, and/or Gwyndolin fights had been better, that would have been the record. I guess it's good you didn't get the record though, or you would have pissed yourself then and there.
Elajjaz I'm sure that on this level of practice, you'll be able to get better RNG and go sub-1:17 at least. But RNG is some finicky crap and could take a while.
before you run to the final boss you should dump all you point into endurance really quick so you can run longer with out having to walk while it recharges, may save you some time
I got so absorbed in watching this that I started to believe that I had to go to the bathroom until he beat Gwyn, and when I paused the video I started to get up and remembered, "Wait, I don't have to pee."
This guy rang the first bell faster than it took DSP to figure out how to get out of the first hallway in Asylum. Also, kicking Lautrec off the cliff like, "Ain't got time for you, GTFO."
I don't understand how at 35:50, when he pulls the lever for the elevator in the dukes archives, if you keep pausing or slow it down, he uses a boss soul, but the confirmation box says "Use Soul of Sif?" and he uses it for 16000, but he still has Sif's Soul in his action slot.... Didn't know you could multiple of those in the same run...
what I don't understand is why after quelag when you ring second bell you don't light bonfire where her sister is and then just warp on your way to ceaseless
I was thinking that. I just take on Ceaseless at the same time I fight Quelagg. But I guess the punch him off a cliff method isn't good for a speed run.
+beltnapierdalator If you do that you cant Homeward bone back to Firelink. You would have to climb up from Blighttown, and that takes alot more time than dropping down it later. (Btw the Ladys bonfire is already lit, but you have to rest at it to make it "warpable")
+ImforReally Climbing back up blighttown is a nightmare. I just homeward bone back to Firelink, but I kill Ceaseless after Quelagg while I'm already down there. Then HB back up.
Can someone explain something to me? How he does so much damage with his spells? Im with 50 INT, Logans Catalyst and Bellowing Dragon Crest Ring and im doing half the damage he does to bosses.
He didn't use the darksign, this was a misclick. You need to press menu-left-interact-up-interact-left-interact to quit the game. He pressed menu-interact-up, noticed that first left press didn't register, closed the menu, rolled an arrow, opened it back up, then did the proper sequence of button presses. This quit was to reset the silver knight, because he would've kept shooting point blank, and it's actually much harder to pass him that way than when he pulls out his shield and sword.
With the Gold Pine Resin, you use the second one after flicking the switch near the Sunlight Altar and proceed to hit nothing with it, it runs out as you go into Gargoyles, is it some funky "get it out of my inventory" strat or just in case something gives you a hard time? EDIT: Oh you explained it later, fair enough!
24 minutes and 28 seconds to get to the part that took me over 2 years (with tantrum breaks included)! Not including tantrum breaks - about 40 hours of gameplay and even then I only beat those 2 with a summon + NPC summon. Yes, I suck.
If the fight starts with Ornstein doing a lightning spear I believe it puts him behind smough and takes a long time to a) get in close enough to lock on and hit with spells and b) deal damage without hitting smough, and it's faster to quit out and try again than to persevere when they start out with that attack formation. I believe.
I love how at the start of the run hes says "bitch" then says "sorry excuse my language". Like half way through hes constantly saying shit n fuck n stuff xD
anyone know why he doesn't get the daughter of chaos bonfire after killing quelaag? I would have thought the extra time is costs to get it would be saved by warping instead of running for the long trip back to ceaseless
+sammehigan11 DS1 works differently than DS2, he would have to sit at the bonfire for it to count for the Lordvessel; He couldn't warp from that bonfire back to Firelink Shrine, so it would have cost him minutes trekking back from Blighttown (nevermind the event of a death).
1) Lighting a bonfire without resting at it does not make it warpable 2) The Quelaag's sister bonfire is already lit (All bonfires with firekeepers are, like Firelink and Anor londo)
Wouldn't it have been faster to light the bonfire at the Daughter of Chaos (after ringing the second bell) so you could warp there after Nito to get to "Caseless?"
My game is totally different - I never attacked the big boob girl cause she was okay with me. Instead she gave my a vessel - my question is should I give this vessal to Frampt yet baring in mind I have not yet defeated the 4 kings, been inside the painting or been back to the undead asylum (the beginning bit). When should I go back to the undead bit before or after I give frampt the vessel? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!
If you press the use item button on a text box item (such as souls, bones, and fire keeper souls,) towards the end of the action and press pause, you can choose to use another item (typically estus), and the text box will show up. When you select yes, the game gives you the effect of the text box item, but it consumes the item you used from the menu.
Hi,I enjoy your video games walk-through and I wonder if you could perform an indepth video of the following ps4 new games/ 1/ vaporum 2/ he'll blade senua sacrifice 3/ deck of ashes 4/ shovel Knight showdown 5/ World War z 6/ my time at portia 7/ days gone 8/ far lone sails 9/ tera reloaded 10/zanki zéro last beginning 11/rage 2 12/ lost ember 13/ elder scrolls blades /14 elder scrolls online elsweyr Thanks
Wait, so what starting gift did you have? You started with black fire bombs but you were also able to open the door to the valley of drakes, which implies you had the master key. I'm just really confused as to how that happened
+OSCAR RODRIGUEZ Ornstein does a shitty run ending lighting speel attack. he reloaded because it resets the rng of ornstein and can get him to change his attack.
Is there a reason for you to not lit the bonfire after you killed Queelag so you wouldn't have to move through blighttown etc. again after Nitorino ... Just curious.. I'm not a genius at DS Speedruns so would be nice to get a respond :D
Get on to SpeedSouls, new all bosses record. Check it out, recorded 3 hours ago. Damn, just missed it. When you gonna put up the lead-up to the best piss you've ever had, Ela?
Not sure what's more impressive, the run itself, or the fact that he's interacting with chat while doing it. Astonishing.
Yeah I would have to pause the game
Gerald Deliva quitting out is kind of the pause function
touché. its still a pause function in some kind of way. ^^
It's rather sad to me...he spent like 500 hours of real life doing this over and over and over...to get 130k views on a website?
Ugly Casanova and that's what you call passion.
There's something I love about watches DS runs, like sit down for an hour and a bit, and watch someone play the entirety of a game that gave you proper headaches

At the end when he went to the bathroom
''Varför spelar du alltid så bra när du behöver kissa?''
''Jag vet inte''
''Why do you always play so well when you need to piss?''
''I don't know''
Easy: Speedrun: you want to end asap.
Need to piss = you must end asap xD
i think he might have played this game before i'm not sure
Gerald Deliva first day of 2017 and you might've just taken the biggest L of the year
+Gerry Buckets omg :D at least you admit it :)
I beat it in about 9 hours
Achievement Unlocked: Finish Dark Souls without pissing pants.
Great Run Ela! Enjoyed every second of it. XD
Only a true speed runner can resist his "necessities" for such a long time, and still get a great run!
Incredibly good run, Ela!
J'ai beau avoir vu ce speedrun une dizaine de fois , je resterais toujours aussi admiratif devant cette maitrise totale et absolue du gameplay :D
C'est juste de l'art
Nice job, I can't wait for Dark souls 3
The excitement of seeing another ela video in my sub box
nice to see you do ds1 again
Joshua Tanner He plays it almost everyday :)
Joshua Tanner ds1 is bae
Elajjaz can you do a revisit to dark souls
can't stop watching you bro, from ds1 to bloodborne and ds3
I love your videos Ela i dont know why i love your dark souls speedruns so much because i can't even beat the Taurus demon haha! Just really fun to watch :)
What a really great run dude !
Just crazy to see how much you get close WR !!!! oO
Like so much the way you do and keep trying and it's sure you get it soon ! ;)
The music in the background when you fight Gwyn is so good. I fucking love it.
So happy I finally got to be there during one of your PB's!! So close to WR, but you'v e proven that you can do it now with some decent RNG
+Elajjaz Dude, have to say, this was amazing to watch. I can't even do a fraction of this the way you do! And you've got a good stream style :)
I love Ela, amazing speedrunner and amazing at talking to his audience at the same time. Hi Ela its sof006 one of your subs :)
Nice job on the new PB Ela! Keep on working and I'm sure you will get the world record. :D
that moment when u can pause the video and go to the toilet... lol
+Flame Sk8er Can't
1. Dark Souls doesn't have a pause.
2. He's timing himself even when utilizing quitting out and loading in. Anytime spent after the start is marked on the run's time.
3. Pissing is for casuls
+McKendry2 the video dude he was talking about himself u casual, lol
+McKendry2 he didnt mean that the player could pause, he meant he could pause the video himself
awesome run man , so close to wurld record .
Go on Ela !!!
respect man, wow!!!! Really awesome run :)
PS: I felt soo sorry for you in the last few battles x) (because of the bathroom thing! )
If the OnS, Manus, and/or Gwyndolin fights had been better, that would have been the record. I guess it's good you didn't get the record though, or you would have pissed yourself then and there.
Josh Sonon Yes it would have destroyed the World Record if those fights were good, but you can't have it all :)
Elajjaz
I'm sure that on this level of practice, you'll be able to get better RNG and go sub-1:17 at least. But RNG is some finicky crap and could take a while.
+Josh Sonon He needs to praise more for RNGesus
Josh Sonon "Random Number Generation" can't get predicted lel
Daniel Kaiselgruber
Not completely, but you can bait certain things and make those actions/attacks more likely.
Oh yes! DS1 baby! Excellent run.
Léu - Brazil/PR
I've missed you speedruns
before you run to the final boss you should dump all you point into endurance really quick so you can run longer with out having to walk while it recharges, may save you some time
Damn it I missed this stream. Congrats on the run!
"I am myself". How wonderfully philosophical you are :)
However great run
So I just started this game today. It's taken me about two hours to get where you're at four minutes in.
That was really good urn Ela!
60 fps video of 30 fps game? Seems legit.
Hugh Janus Yeah I tend to stream in 60fps because i play other games than Dark Souls on my stream :p
+Elajjaz hey are you going to do dark souls two scholar of the first sin
Elajjaz Ela-sempai noticed me!
ian black Most likely not
+Hugh Janus dsfix
I got so absorbed in watching this that I started to believe that I had to go to the bathroom until he beat Gwyn, and when I paused the video I started to get up and remembered, "Wait, I don't have to pee."
still enjoying this 6 years later!!
29 and a half hour into this game and I've been stuck on OnS for 6 months :)))))))))
25:17 "this is the worst run ever"
XD
It was a nice run :)
The chat was going so fast at the end.. was awesome :>
This guy rang the first bell faster than it took DSP to figure out how to get out of the first hallway in Asylum. Also, kicking Lautrec off the cliff like, "Ain't got time for you, GTFO."
Very nice speedrun man!
damn youre so good at the burg skip, i practise it all the time and never get it
Awesome run
"Say hi to Capra... Now say bye to Capra..."
"Dinner's gonna be a little over an hour!"
Eeeeeexcelent...
Good run Ela
had no idea magic could become so god damn powerful
I love your stream man wish i had money to donate.. Keep up the good work!!!!
Faraaz991 Don't worry man, by just being there you support me enough. Thank you :)
Well then
That puts my 50 hour + time to finish into perspective :(
To be fair, his practice time probably makes 50 hours look like nothing
3:11 that snipe tho
I don't understand how at 35:50, when he pulls the lever for the elevator in the dukes archives, if you keep pausing or slow it down, he uses a boss soul, but the confirmation box says "Use Soul of Sif?" and he uses it for 16000, but he still has Sif's Soul in his action slot.... Didn't know you could multiple of those in the same run...
Jesus christ thats mad skillz
quite the fitting title for the firesage lol
Ela: ooooh shit... Fuck that
10 seconds later
Bitch, oops excuse my language
I didn't see the stairs to the burg so I'm fighting skeletons and two handing my axe. Guess I gotta turn around
what I don't understand is why after quelag when you ring second bell you don't light bonfire where her sister is and then just warp on your way to ceaseless
I was thinking that. I just take on Ceaseless at the same time I fight Quelagg. But I guess the punch him off a cliff method isn't good for a speed run.
+beltnapierdalator If you do that you cant Homeward bone back to Firelink. You would have to climb up from Blighttown, and that takes alot more time than dropping down it later. (Btw the Ladys bonfire is already lit, but you have to rest at it to make it "warpable")
+ImforReally Ok. I get it now. Thanks.
+ImforReally Climbing back up blighttown is a nightmare. I just homeward bone back to Firelink, but I kill Ceaseless after Quelagg while I'm already down there. Then HB back up.
Can someone explain something to me? How he does so much damage with his spells? Im with 50 INT, Logans Catalyst and Bellowing Dragon Crest Ring and im doing half the damage he does to bosses.
Also he's using red tearstone ring
Red tearstone ring boosts damage a lot when you have less than 20% health.
What did he do there at 21:46 - he like used the dark sign and quit and reloaded the game...what does this do please - thanks.
WeirdCityCitizen not sure
He didn't use the darksign, this was a misclick. You need to press menu-left-interact-up-interact-left-interact to quit the game. He pressed menu-interact-up, noticed that first left press didn't register, closed the menu, rolled an arrow, opened it back up, then did the proper sequence of button presses.

EDIT: Oh you explained it later, fair enough!
what was that black firebomb throw in the beginning after the drake hit the bridge and you quit?
Dexter Vepps to kill the seller and get the key to free witch dude
Dexter Vepps He's throwing it to kill the Undead Male Merchant.
god dammit, i was watching the stream yesterday and had to go and missed this run apparantly :(
is the homewardbone glitched or bugged?
Yep, it's called duplication glitch
My eyes was explode at lost Izalit
"This is the worst run ever!"- Ela 2015
In my opinion he did very good I would take more than a day to do all of this
24 minutes and 28 seconds to get to the part that took me over 2 years (with tantrum breaks included)! Not including tantrum breaks - about 40 hours of gameplay and even then I only beat those 2 with a summon + NPC summon. Yes, I suck.
WeirdCityCitizen tru
Super impressive Ella. Especially have to go wee wee the last 20 mins or so....you looked like you were in agony! GOOD GOING DUDE, now pee! lol
3:40 How do you skip the dialouge and open the door immediately?
Can someone explain what makes a good start/bad start with OnS and why?
If the fight starts with Ornstein doing a lightning spear I believe it puts him behind smough and takes a long time to a) get in close enough to lock on and hit with spells and b) deal damage without hitting smough, and it's faster to quit out and try again than to persevere when they start out with that attack formation. I believe.
lollipophugo Thanks :)
I love how at the start of the run hes says "bitch" then says "sorry excuse my language". Like half way through hes constantly saying shit n fuck n stuff xD
O&S probably ruined the WR but hey good job man ! keep going this way!
honestly elapee should be a new emote. you always get teh urns when your bladder is full
anyone know why he doesn't get the daughter of chaos bonfire after killing quelaag? I would have thought the extra time is costs to get it would be saved by warping instead of running for the long trip back to ceaseless
it's because he would have to go by foot at his previous bonfire and it take overall more time to grab the bonfire than running back to quelaag domain
+sammehigan11 DS1 works differently than DS2, he would have to sit at the bonfire for it to count for the Lordvessel; He couldn't warp from that bonfire back to Firelink Shrine, so it would have cost him minutes trekking back from Blighttown (nevermind the event of a death).
NOOOOO!! you are at 16 second of the wold record, NOOOOOO!
It's been four hours now,Still trying to find a way out of Blight town.
still dont get how he said "hey hardnipple" without laughing
wont u save time if u activate quelaags sisters bonfire after quelaag so u can warp before ceaseless?
you cant bone back to firelink if you do that, which means youd have to run all the way back up through blighttown
+VIDEOxGAMER18 you just light the bonfire, not rest at it
1) Lighting a bonfire without resting at it does not make it warpable
2) The Quelaag's sister bonfire is already lit (All bonfires with firekeepers are, like Firelink and Anor londo)
You are really good
Wouldn't it have been faster to light the bonfire at the Daughter of Chaos (after ringing the second bell) so you could warp there after Nito to get to "Caseless?"
Chairman Meow nope. you'd need to run up blighttown again if you'd choose to rest at the DoC Bonfire.
aaaaaand you lost me at the quelaag soul dupe glitch
prob been patched but idk
prob been patched but idk
HughJass Parlayed it hasn't
Fuck man, I had no idea that breakable wall was in Sen's Fortress.
what was he doing in the menu that allowed him to use Quelaag's soul like 4 times?
How did you have the master key to get into the blight town area when you started with the black firebomb gift?
His starting class gives you the master key regardless of what gift you choose.
My game is totally different - I never attacked the big boob girl cause she was okay with me. Instead she gave my a vessel - my question is should I give this vessal to Frampt yet baring in mind I have not yet defeated the 4 kings, been inside the painting or been back to the undead asylum (the beginning bit). When should I go back to the undead bit before or after I give frampt the vessel? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!
WeirdCityCitizen idk
GOOD JOB MEN :D
If you perform a parry and use something in your inventory, does it not get consumed? What is this mystical Wind Waker Grandma's Soup-esque glitch?
If you press the use item button on a text box item (such as souls, bones, and fire keeper souls,) towards the end of the action and press pause, you can choose to use another item (typically estus), and the text box will show up. When you select yes, the game gives you the effect of the text box item, but it consumes the item you used from the menu.
when are you gonna make a guide for us that wanna learn and trust you over the internet :D
would it have been faster to get the Daughter of Chaos bonfire and warp rather than going thru blighttown a second time to get to the Bed of Chaos?
No because he would have had to walk up blighttown
Hi,I enjoy your video games walk-through and I wonder if you could perform an indepth video of the following ps4 new games/ 1/ vaporum 2/ he'll blade senua sacrifice 3/ deck of ashes 4/ shovel Knight showdown 5/ World War z 6/ my time at portia 7/ days gone 8/ far lone sails 9/ tera reloaded 10/zanki zéro last beginning 11/rage 2 12/ lost ember 13/ elder scrolls blades /14 elder scrolls online elsweyr
Thanks
What's taken me 20 hours is done in 13 minutes in this run. XD
RIP bladder.
Ela why you havent done a dark souls 2 speedrun with al the dlc explain?
+Santiago Virguez Because he finds Dark Souls 2 an incredibly boring game, as do most.
Maral in the end
What is that soundbyte when he gets a donation?
Wait, so what starting gift did you have? You started with black fire bombs but you were also able to open the door to the valley of drakes, which implies you had the master key. I'm just really confused as to how that happened
Apollo9898LPs He started with the Thief class, which comes with the key.
I dont get why he kept reloading the O n S fight
+OSCAR RODRIGUEZ Ornstein does a shitty run ending lighting speel attack. he reloaded because it resets the rng of ornstein and can get him to change his attack.
+OSCAR RODRIGUEZ bad enemy attacks that would lead to him being unable to kill one of them before the other one would start messing him up
Is there a reason for you to not lit the bonfire after you killed Queelag so you wouldn't have to move through blighttown etc. again after Nitorino ... Just curious.. I'm not a genius at DS Speedruns so would be nice to get a respond :D
+Stephan Bolze Because in that case he couldn't have used his homeward bone to get back up.
Hello, 1 q, 5:37 why that pine resin?.... thanks in advance
He literally explains it in the video
I'm your bigust fan
Pq n usou warp pra fogueira da Queelag..?
congrats man, isn't this a new world record?
It's his personal best not world record
Get on to SpeedSouls, new all bosses record. Check it out, recorded 3 hours ago. Damn, just missed it.
When you gonna put up the lead-up to the best piss you've ever had, Ela?
You just need to have a toilet instead of a chair!
Is it really slower to get Quelaangs sister's bonfire?
