Adrian switching weapons every 10 minutes for the first HOUR of the video had me crying. Also, the fact that he DID the ceaseless cheese ON ACCIDENT and died is SO funny to me
@@uwulasagna I don't have the timestamp for it, but if you grab the armor to aggro ceaseless and then run back to the fog gate, he'll jump over to you and hang on the ledge. if you hit him five times with any weapon, he'll fall down into the lava or pit or whatever and die. It's not technically a "cheese" because it's intentionally put in by the devs, but a lot of people refer to it as such because it makes the fight trivially easy.
The black knights were originally silver knights. So the witches of Izaleth (The First Pyromancers) tried to recreate the first flame to gain strength similar to Gwyn's. But something went wrong and all the witches turned into Greater Demons (The First Demons), and attacked anything and everything. Gwyn sent the silver knights to destroy the demons and pushed them back into what is called the demon ruins. But while fighting the witches their armor was scorched black. So silver knights are like the guards of Anor Londo, trained and helped fight the dragons. Meanwhile the Black Knights are the most experienced Knights under Gwyn's control having fought the dragons and demons, outside of his 4 most trusted Knights, Artorias The Abysswalker, Dragonslayer Ornstein, Hawkeye Gough (Guy who shot the dragon out the air), and Ciaran (you can see her in the DLC if you had gone back to Artorias' boss room).
3:35:20 Yes, the black knights were all silver knights at one point in the story, they served to Gwyn in the great war against the ancient dragons. After the fire starting fading and The Witch of Izalith tried to recreate the flame by the command of Gwyn, failing at that process and creating the demons, Gwyn ordened his army to take down and destroy those demons, some turned into the black knights and many perish. That's why we see the majority of black knights near a Demon boss in game.
For the longest time, I've been telling people that drake sword is absolute garbage. It does great damage against enemies in parish, but after that, even longsword starts to out damage it if you've been leveling str and dex. After around the depths, the damage starts to suck ass and is basically unusable against blighttown enemies. Not to mention that it breaks easily, is expensive to reinforce, and has a pretty bland moveset for a straight sword. I'm glad you switched weapons mid-playthrough Adrian otherwise both you and I were gonna suffer a lot.
He never upgraded things is the issue, the drake sword works rlly well when u dont upgrade anything. Thats why it dealt the most damage, because it requires no upgrades to be good.
It was a blast watching you play DS1, of all the playthroughs that I have seen, yours were the most fun and entertaining for sure, seeing you figuring things out by yourself and exploring the game made me remender those golden times playing this masterpiece for the first time. Now the real question is: Dark souls 2 series when?
You should definetly play DS3, it adds on a lot of cool lore to DS1 as well as amazing bosses, areas and music. Sekiro has amazing combat, Bloodborne an amazing feeling. Play all of them
My favorite ds game. It's never too late to experience this wonderful pain that is this game. While not the hardest, it's definitely the most punishing of all for inexperienced players. While I tried elden ring first, this game is what got me into fromsoft's souls games.
I love this kind of content. These longer videos where you play other games you‘ve never played before just like cuphead. Dont get me wrong tho I also love your terraria vids, but this is really enjoyable to watch
*skips and eighth of the game by taking the master key shortcut to blight town* *goes into blighttown underleveled* “WHY DO I KEEP DYING TO THIS BOSS????” 😂
Alternatively you can be like me, and just give every chest a lovetap (one hit with your weapon). If you see damage numbers, you found a mimic. It's a habit that carried over to Elden Ring, can't wait to be vindicated with the DLC.
@@duckyduckington9736 lmao I didn't even realize it was the full game when he released it, I was half out of it and thought he just was posting episodes like elden ring, so I thought I would give him a heads up, figured it out a hour later when the episode was still going
Man this is amazing, i love the souls games and cant wait for more elden ring too, i wanna play em so bad but for now i live off of the entertainment of adrian :D
Adrian going through the game severly underleveled, not upgrading weapons, skipping bosses and shortcuts made this more annoying but so much funnier at the same time
Tbh, I think adrain has to be less hard on himself and should stop calling himself bad at the game. If u are reading this adrian you are a god gamer for having the perserverance and skill to beat this game. Keep it up man.
its (imo) the worst "souls" experience. Its a good game combat wise, but combat isnt why you should play souls. There are just better experiences combat wise (Nioh and Hollow Knight off the top of my head) Most OG souls fans play it for the story and world design, since thats... what its strongest point was. I don't hate ds3, its a great game. I just think it doesn't fit the souls style very well. Its like sekiro and bloodborne, they aren't souls games. They're not the same, they simply dont add up. Dark souls 2 and Bloodborne are so far apart, while Dark souls 2 and Dark souls 1 are extremely similar. Dark souls 3 is only the 3rd game imo because of it having references, otherwise it just doesn't fit the gameplay. Its alot like releasing a story based first person shooter and the next one is a hack and slash. Like... sure it has the same name, but it doesn't fit the original reason people liked it.
Damn, after watching Jacksepticeye play it for 6 hours I now get the privilege of watching Adrian play it for 3 and a half, good things are happening all around me
He just didnt upgrade his weapons??? Ever??? Why??? Did he not read what titanite does, or bother to go upgrade at the blacksmith? He played elden ring while upgrading so this made no sense.
46:56 so what I understand is you wants a person who was in prison to give you a reward to freeing him and just because he sounded alittle evil you go and kill him he even had a reward that was tilted “humanity” hmm… 🧐 idk
Adrian switching weapons every 10 minutes for the first HOUR of the video had me crying. Also, the fact that he DID the ceaseless cheese ON ACCIDENT and died is SO funny to me
whats the ceaseless cheese? at what timestamp did it happen

it had me dying

If you kill the sunlight maggot when you first get to the demon ruins, you can stop solaire from dying trying to "Find his sunlight".

Watched this whole series, as a souls veteran it was fun seeing a new time player figure things out, great vid!
whats crazy is that gough is blind and still hits his shots 3:31:22
Oh shit, Let's go!!!! Would love if you streamed this. Hope you make videos on the other two souls games too!
He shouldn’t play the Second one
@@NecromancerX-km1yn He should play the second one
No the second one sucks
@@NecromancerX-km1yn the second one is great

ITS HEREEEEEEEEEE FINALLY, time to speedrun this game
I sat through the entire multiple hours of video and didn't get bored once, need dark souls 2 pronto

I kid you not I’ve been waiting for this
Blud loved his drake sword all the way to sen's fortress
"where am i to go" "what am i to do"
I recently played the trilogy for the first time and now suddenly everyone on my recommendations are playing it too lol
I Absolutely Love This Video, I Watched The Entire Thing Because It Was So Good Keep Up the Amazing Work Adrian!😊
I really can't wait to see you try DS II and III for the first time. Especially now that you know some of the lore.
46:56 yes very precious he kills the firekeeper
YEES THANK YOU! Please please try out Bloodborne or dark souls 3 next!
Just in case you’re wondering, Adrian, your terraria eternity mode full movie is missing the episode with Duke Fishron and Betsy
i was watching that like for 5 mins, AND ADMIT THAT THIS IS 3 HOURS LONG HOLY SHIT
You gotta play the rest of the souls games this was so entertaining
Yes play dark souls 2 next! this was so fun to watch. Or Bloodborne or Sekiro
I love this kind of content. These longer videos where you play other games you‘ve never played before just like cuphead. Dont get me wrong tho I also love your terraria vids, but this is really enjoyable to watch
Yo I was just looking for a dark souls play through to watch since I’m playing Elden ring again so this was perfect my guy
*skips and eighth of the game by taking the master key shortcut to blight town*
*goes into blighttown underleveled*
“WHY DO I KEEP DYING TO THIS BOSS????” 😂
54:49 new fit!!! 😂😂😂
Love seeing you play different games 🎮
hes running from all the enemies man thats tragic ☠️
Holy shit another vid to binge, thank you for curing my boredom every time man
You should try yakuza 0 sometime soon
the king is back with another baller
Honey wake up Adrian soulborne vid just dropped
Adrian is so funny lmao
Heads up for Mimics, they have chains on their right side that face towards the player, regular chests have the curved back chain
It's applicable to all dark souls games
Alternatively you can be like me, and just give every chest a lovetap (one hit with your weapon). If you see damage numbers, you found a mimic. It's a habit that carried over to Elden Ring, can't wait to be vindicated with the DLC.
@@NobleLeader6 Imagine if they just have one singular mimic in a place where you'd never expect it to be, that would be hilarious.
damn that is great advice, so glad it helped him during his playthrough.

Love you big thanks
I love that he killed lauric and was 100% right without knowing
thank you
When you get hit is sounds like you “came” everywhere
1:19:05 no head😢
Man this is amazing, i love the souls games and cant wait for more elden ring too, i wanna play em so bad but for now i live off of the entertainment of adrian :D

Not me crying cause he didn´t take a second look at grass crest shield.

same!!!!! artorias was VERY hard!!!!!
He would have killed the fire keeper so you wouldn't be able to use the bonfire at the fire shrine area, so yes, the dude in the gold armor is evil
exited for ds2 ☺
Adrian you better do dark souls 2 and 3
LESS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Now he must play dark souls 2
Humans slowly lose their humanity with every death, when they lose all their humanity they go hollow.
9:32 that moment when you get your first parry. is much better than sex
Nice job! You should do ds3 its soo fun

What picking master key on a first play through does to a mf
its like he never played anything from the creator of darksouls
I mean, that's true. He's only played Elden Ring and Dark Souls 1 is very different from it, even if the core gameplay is mostly the same.
seeing elden ring fans trying to play ds1 is the funniest thing
hi 34 seconds :)
4th view on vid and 1st comment
Sekiro when?
Please do the other games even if you skip ds2. They are all goated
lol
Do NOT play dark souls 2 next not very similar to ds1 but dark souls 3 is and also has a story that links with dark souls 1
im early holy
