I actually used a glitch to get the moonlight great sword, but it was in Elden ring, and it was way easier. So my suggestion is get the Moonlight Greatsword in Elden ring, then wrong Warp to the beginning of Dark Souls. You have to be simultaneously playing both games on PC for this to work. I feel like I would have a bettet chance of that working than trying your method.
I've seen a bunch of DS1 videos/speedruns, so I knew pretty much exactly how this would go but it took an embarrassingly long amount of time to figure out why you bought the East-West Shield (I didn't realize it was part of a meme roll setup until it was time to set up the Blighttown meme roll.)
@@swagiro824 It's a glitch where if you're between 25.1% and 29% equip load (in Remastered specifically), the game will let you chain rolls together mid-air, and survive falls you would normally die from.
Its not a remastered specific glitch, its a 60fps specific glitch. People who played ptde with 60fps mod knew about the glitch, but they never bothered patching it for the remaster
I just beat dark souls 1 for the first time only a few days ago, there's a part of me that wants to play the game again cause I used the Black Knight Halberd and it decimated every boss. however, both Sens Fortress and Bed of Chaos were blind panic runs and made me completely demotivated to beat the game (Though I still did). Total boss deaths I had was 28 with 24 of them being bed of chaos. the other four were Taurus Demon, Grey Wolf Sif, and Seath.
That's the great thing about Dark Souls; there's a lot of different ways to play it! Bed of Chaos is a pretty rough boss unless you cheese it with firebombs or arrows.
@@splee5556 I did want to try a mage and getting my hands on the moonlight GS however I've been practicing some of the glitches and I can't get most of them XD Specifically the ladder one, the duplication glitch, meme roll, and the sen gate skip. so pretty much all of them.
I liked this video, very informative, I will use some of the details. Just thought there must be an overall goal that is better than the moonlight great sword though tbh. I have to come up with ideas for what I would use these skips for.
Still waiting for the adds to finish so I can start the video, but predictions are: - firebomb then quit-out for asylum demon skip - master-key to get to sens via valley - pick up depths key from the back entrance of the undead chapel region - cross bridge to get the sorcerer teacher in Depths for fall damage spells and rings - death cam to skip Bells - great sword grab glitch to skip Iron Golem - fall damage spell delay to skip golden gates at Duke Goldgate (ymfah video) - complete Duke's and grab the tail. Adds are done, so I'll edit once I finish! EDIT: Hah, seems I was on the wrong track for the very start. Forgot that the prep-work for weapons and damage also count. Either way, congrats on the run, and have a good day!
To paraphrase Miyasaki "I'll give women shoes before ever changing a damn thing in my masterpiece, remastered graphics you philistine swine" Kids these days, think they can patch anything in life, tsk tsk
Great video. You could maybe use some music but the video is still really well made. I'm not really into ds1 but the glitches you did were really enjoyable.
The amount of work and dedication just to get this sword is exceptional. I bet it would take an average player dozens of attempts and save states to do this.
thank you for teaching me how to free the pyromancer guy before beating the most bs boss ever saved me from not playing the game cause i dealt no damage
I am extremely well versed in DSR & PTDE, all exploits and bugs included, and I have never seen that Depths skip before. Until now I’d assumed Capra was required to go to The Depths, and it never really bothered me because you can kill him easily with Dung Pies in even the most hardcore challenge runs.
I love this kind of stuff but with soul duping I for sure could get the sword faster by just 99 int demolishing the required bosses up to Seath. The best glitch for replayability tbh.
If you return to the Iron Golem's boss area from Anor Londo, you can perform a Force Quit Wrong Warp to warp just in front of the gate to Sen's Fortress.
Moonlight gratesword is not just iconic in all of souls games. She is just also THE main sword and the main objective of the protagonist in King's field.
You initiate a warp (Dark Sign, Homeward Bone, Homeward, etc... all work) and then force quit out of the game during the last few frames of the loading screen. There's a tutorial for the method I use here: ua-cam.com/video/EbAIdFfbqJo/v-deo.html
Funnily enough, the fact that you rested at the anor londo bonfire means that you HAVE to defeat ornstein and smough as your first boss to get anywhere else other than anor londo and sens fortress
You can use a Force Quit Wrong Warp to escape Sen's Fortress without killing Ornstein and Smough. But it makes sense to kill them first anyway since having access to warping makes the game much easier to navigate.
As fun as it is that you have to break the game so thoroughly, at this stage if you're really determined to have the sword you maybas well just save edit unless you really have to challenge yourself lol
Currently, the least amount of bosses you can beat the game with is three: the gargoyles, Ornstein and Smough, and Gwyn. I did a speedrun of it here: ua-cam.com/video/9eTmwW0oJdI/v-deo.html
Is there anyway to line up near perfect for the iron golem skip? I tried for like a total of 4/5 hours and landed only once but then messed up the wrong warp.
There's no (known) perfect setup to hit it 100% of the time. There are a few things you can do to make it a bit more consistent though. You want to stand directly in front of the centre of the golem. You want to start the running attack from a bit in front of where his fist approximately lands during the fist slam attack. When you start running for the attack, do a loop to the right (seems more consistent than looping left for whatever reason). You also don't want the golem to be too far forward or you can overshoot the platform.
item swapping to skip the running start animation does not affect female characters. Female characters already start running faster than males, however males stop running later than females. Thats why speedrunners pick male
Upper body animations accelerate you instantly to max speed on both male and female characters. Female characters naturally accelerate and decelerate faster than male characters. So they don't get as much of a benefit as male characters, but still do get some benefit. You are correct that male characters are faster for speedruns due to the slower deceleration.
10:02 Maybe I'm wrong, but i think you can escape from archives by doing wrong warp near golden fog? I guess i'm done something like this 2 years ago, but maybe it's just my bad memory
Just slowly built up my knowledge of glitches/tricks over time. I learned of a lot of them through speedruns. Then I put that knowledge together to do this!
Sweet Jesus, you didn’t just obtain the sword you backhanded the entire game, manipulated the backrooms to your bidding, and punished the devs in one single video. Beyond impressive, as someone that only beat the game once I never imagined there was this many exploits 😂
This is insane...but....honestly i kinda wish you ended the video with a link to a save with all of this done already so i dont have to try doing some of these precise glitches...😂
Unironically easier than cutting off Seaths tail.
i've never mnaged it in all my playthroughs
@@kahlzun you’re definitely just not trying to get it

thank you, i had been stuck for 27 hours on the asylum demon bossfight and obtaining this sword was a game changer

Don't forget the forth and fifth when you do go.
That Iron Golem skip was all I needed to see to know this wasn't for me 😂
Absolutely love how thoroughly you’ve broken the game to do this. Might try to learn the golem skip to do it
Give it a try! Iron Golem Skip is for sure the most inconsistent part of this.

@diabeticmonkey you also need to unlock every combat art in sekiro 2 dlc
I've played dark souls and watched these types of videos for years and I still learn new stuff like that asylum demon skip
I've seen a bunch of DS1 videos/speedruns, so I knew pretty much exactly how this would go but it took an embarrassingly long amount of time to figure out why you bought the East-West Shield (I didn't realize it was part of a meme roll setup until it was time to set up the Blighttown meme roll.)
what is a meme roll?
Mostly bought if for safety against the dogs. You can do the same meme roll set up with the straight sword hilt if you don't buy the shield.

That's such a good weapon. I used the sword version my first time
Extremely interesting video, never heard of this deathcam in anor londo, liked and subscribed
Thanks dude! Did this in the switch version although I had to kill the iron golem and O&S before getting the Moonlight Greatsword for convenience.
hell yeah man, love to see the darksouls content getting some love🔥🔥🔥
you gave me some strategies for some challenge runs, thanks man
this looks so fun! great video :)
i loved watching this video. you have good voice and commentary. I hope you make fromsoft challenge type vids.
100% going to try this. I’ve always wanted to use moonlight great sword wayy earlier ❤❤
Awesome video, I’m actually going to attempt this it seems like a fun challenge

- pick up depths key from the back entrance of the undead chapel region
- cross bridge to get the sorcerer teacher in Depths for fall damage spells and rings
- death cam to skip Bells

Thanks for convincing me to cut off the tail
Holy shit, you're a jedi!!
Wow. Super cool. I would definitely fucc up the Seath fight and be super upset about it lol
big fan of all the wrong warps that circumvent at most 3 minutes of walking
I hate that they changed the look of the bonfire. Would’ve been cool to have to og in all of the souls
super cool

this is madness
that was rad
Awesome video. (I’m ain’t doing allat)
Easy just use cheat engine
The easy way is the cowards way
I don't get use all this bugs instead of simply use cheat, it's the same thing in the end XD
By skipping Queelag and the Gargoyles, are you then stuck in Anor Londo/Sen's Fortress until acquiring the Lordvessel?
If you return to the Iron Golem's boss area from Anor Londo, you can perform a Force Quit Wrong Warp to warp just in front of the gate to Sen's Fortress.
@splee5556 Of course, it's so simple
+ how many bugs did you use to achieve it?
- yes
Really really amazing but the main road its simpler 😅
Neat how they named it after an Armored Core weapon
I believe they're both references to the Moonlight Sword from King's Field.
@@splee5556 YES! finally somebody knew the answer! I can't tell you how many times I have dropped this exact bait, and nobody knew the answer lol
Moonlight gratesword is not just iconic in all of souls games. She is just also THE main sword and the main objective of the protagonist in King's field.
meh, id much rather say the Zweihander is the definitive dark souls iconic weapon. sure, its not the kings field weapon, but idk, i said so.
Run fuel!
wow nice
Would do this method, if only i wasn't playing prepare to die edition xD
wait how'd you open the valley of drakes door if you took the black firebombs and not the masterkey? did you buy it from the merchant in the depths?
The thief class starts with the master key.
Wait till TJ "Henry" Yoshi gets a hold of this shit
The idea that you buy 999 longswords from Andre is so funny to me
What's even more funny is that he only gives you one longsword that has the weight of 999!
Niceeeee
