I came here from your comment on retsupurae, and I gotta say, this is pretty impressive! I haven't laughed that hard at a Dark Souls vid since Geop's LP!
My favorite infinite HP encounter was also in Anor Londo. I was able to bait the into agroing almost all of the silver knights above the second bonfire. After luring him into the bedroom, all of the knights and I kept him stunlocked. He didn't quit out of the game until a solid 10 minutes later.
I ran into a cheater in the depths, was like 5 min before i realised his hp wasn't going down. So I just ALT-F4, as much of a dick move that is, I didn't want to loose to a cheater.
LOL what a finish. You are great at making videos. They seem very professional and are extremely entertaining. Subscribed...looking forward to more funny videos and possibly tips for PvE from your SL1 playthrough on NG7.
What the fuck, how bad is this guy, I mean, I've met level modders who at least have some knowledge on how to fast roll in overly heavy gear, but this guy, max level, and still mid rolling in that gear?
I played dark souls for months. I loved how basic and satisfying the PvP was. I managed to work myself into the top 10 book of guilty and after that the game began to eat itself. The community began placing self imposed rules on the PvP. No hornet ring, no back stab fishing, no abusing invincs on the ring that gave the cart wheel dodge, cap your lvl at 120 max..even not bowing was taken as a slant.. All for imagined honour. Box glitching is when honour died..and open the door to hacks.
As mentioned in the description, there's trainers that FREEZE the HP bar at max, thus bleed outs might not work in that aspect. That and I know of some trainers that flat out makes you immune to bleed.
I'm fine with single-player stat-modding but when you take cheats online it can ruin a game like Dark Souls. Nothing annoys me more than being invaded while trying to complete and objective and some dick with infinite health pops in and I can't lure him to a death trap or their modded stats insta-kill me. I seldom do PVP or invasions but when I do I suck it up when I get my ass kicked. I may hate I lost but I don't spam nasty messages or decide to hack the game to get vengeance for the lulz. I'd rather deal with the honor-bro or no-healing cult dudes who spam me nasty messages than deal with hackers, because unless you are just that good, or just lucky to be in a death-trap area, you're screwed.
If you join the Way of White covenant, you are always placed at the bottom of invasion lists by the system. Also get more opportunities to be a helpful summon when people need help to clear levels.
Also, does anyone know the name of the victory theme at the end? it doesn't seem to be any of the songs listed, so i really have no clue what it is or where it's from. D:
(to my previous comment) this is NOT referring to stat changing, only health/stam/spell/whatever freezing to accelerate the leveling process for optimization
haha got a smile on my face right now so funny. btw what songs did you use are they from an anime? if so which ones. If not then whose music is it? thanks in advance. hilarious :3
Yeah, I know, I'm actually not even sure if you can use the Silver Pendant to deflect Pursuers, I remember I once tried it and the damn things were left stuck on my aura, and when it vanished the shit hit me from all sides. It was like that Manus spell, but replace Manus with a polish player spamming "Well, what is it?" and the Moonlight GS' R2 twohander.
not sure if it's for pc or something but i saw a video that had the invader meet a hacker in the forest and he knew he had to bleed him w/ his Katana and he did... so does bleed build up work on hackers?
hm ok because i thought on pvping with my lvl 100 in anor londo but then i remembered emmarel saying something about lvl 120 anor londo so i lvled him to 120 but i didnt find any enemys not with blue eye orb or red eye orb. Maybe all the people are in Oolacile township now? (playing on pc)
i had to re watch the very last part of the vid. seriously, i thought "There is NO way he just rolled off on his own..." You are one of my dark souls heros. the other two are the guy who had a dual skeleton wheel build and the guy with the dual crossbows/bows build (i blanked on their names)
The "trainer" is a program which makes you almost impossible to kill. To my knowledge, it's only available on PC, but the 360 version also has other hacks and whatnot on there from what I can tell.
What I meant was that there was no damage could be done by me. There was damage prompt showing up (and I was hitting the person)... Like if the person had an invisible shield that could only be broken by magic. After I hit the guy with magic, after some time, I was able to damage him. (and I'm also on PS3)
Oh, so the main strategy for dealing with hackers is the exact same as dealing with literally any other player? It's almost like the developers don't care. Of course, they do care. They care a whole lot. Hackers are a factual part of the lore.
I keep meeting the same hacker in the forest with the same thing. Cant be bled and when i lure him to a ledge he stands well away and shoots me with a Great Bow. It even got to the point where ANOTHER Forest hunter hacker joined and started killing me. Theres no beating these people.
How do you deal with someone who uses the one hit kill hack in the trainer? I was invading this guy who used it (trying to not get hit) but he hit me (balder side sword) with lag and instakilled me twice (first time through the shield). I then loaded up the trainer and used infinite health and then invaded him again, dodged him and hit him (but he had infinite health on too O_o) and he hit me and STILL instakilled me! WTF?
How to deal with hackers? Easy way: get the counter-hack. If you're not a scrub you will activate it only if you are invaded by hacker and deactivate it when he is gone. I don't like cheating in dark souls, but i kinda have to, when i'm facing a hacker, since i'm not as godlike as people who use gravity to deal with them.
i dont know why u got a negative note but i feel u even when i have good armor they kept on one shoting me can any one help me get a modded wepon to get revenge
I did run into what I believe was a hacker on PS3 once. I was invading in the forest, and as soon as I spawned in, I saw my enemy, a mile away, running around and swinging his weapon. The problem was, as he swung his weapon, it was dealing damage to my health bar despite him being far away the entire time. I died very quickly as I was unable to dodge or block.
Tips for not getting backstabbed: 1. Don't be too aggressive 2. Learn how to not get backstabbed with quick R1/L1 or counter BS 3. Don't roll around and give them your back. 4. Forward movement/Lunge = Potential back-take 5. Know your weapon ranges and/or dead-angles If you take time to practice, you'll learn the difference between an actual Laggy/latency BS and carelessness.
Pursuers is only broken when combo'd with Dark Bead in cramped areas. You simply have to zig-zag away from Pursuers to avoid it, since it's much slower than your character and the Zig-Zagging stops any Crystal Soul Spears coming your way. And if it's a pure Dark Magic build, the Silver Pendant spam ruins it.
Please refrain from using incorrect terms when talking about dark magic. It want to talk about it like, that call it cheap. Its not cheating if it was put in the game. Also this guy is probably better than the majority of people who play on the game, dark magic is there simply there to kill off under experienced players, or people stupid enough not to dodge. He is still capable of taking people out without dark magic anyway.
I spam roll until pursuers disappear because, as I said before, there will be times where you roll right past them and they fly away into the distance, only to one shot you a second later.
If you think that then you just don't know how to deal with it, you have multiple options, dodge roll, silver pendant, force, block with a high magic block shield (dark hand works suprisingly well against players using dark magic, maybe a hidden resistance to dark magic specifically? Also the cleansing greatshield is just pure godly against it due to having nice stability and nice phys/mag resists). Don't hate just because you don't know how to deal with it, ok?
well its only used after you realize whats going on, and its rather harmless as it just disconnects the two players and really doesnt effect the hacker negatively other than hopefully making them realize how obnoxious they are
And while these attacks by themselves are able to be countered, they don't exist in a vacuum. Just because the problem is lag doesnt take away from the fact that there IS a problem.
The main issue is the lag, but when you use tactics that capitalize on lag and punish extremely because of a factor thats out of the player's hands, hornet ring bs'ing included, you are using a cheap tactic. Arguing that this isn't the case is silly.
okay, max stats i can understand, but why would you freeze the HP value? fights stop being fun when you don't at least have a chance at someone killing you.
Your warrior has points in faith and intelligence because those are the base values. Taking them away obviously isn't the same as using a trainer to freeze your hp, but you still have an advantage via free stat points that no one else gets to have. In a game where who you PvP with is determined by level, giving yourself free stats still makes the fight unfair, regardless of how much skill your build takes.
Doesn't loose HP = rolls to his death when being attacked
*slow clap* 11/10 player
MrNosec Why did he even dodge if he won't lose hp , at all. I don't understand those cheaters and their thought process behind that.
I like how the hacker bowed and you didn't bow back. Ultimate sign of disrespect, nice work
You forgot to mention equipping the hornet ring. That'll send them flying over the edge.
I was honestly waiting for the "You have been indicted" at the end.
The "yeah baby" on the spear parry made me get oatmeal all over myself.
same but with beans
It's absolutely precious how he tries to dodge attacks in an attempt to pretend he's still playing legitimately.
>uses a trainer
>midrolls

2:25 austin powers' voice ahahaha well done, I love your vids for this kinda sound editing :')

+Bartosz Skorupa true
LOL what a finish. You are great at making videos. They seem very professional and are extremely entertaining. Subscribed...looking forward to more funny videos and possibly tips for PvE from your SL1 playthrough on NG7.
I like how they play like their good, but they need a cheat to "win"
This was great man!
What the fuck, how bad is this guy, I mean, I've met level modders who at least have some knowledge on how to fast roll in overly heavy gear, but this guy, max level, and still mid rolling in that gear?
He still has the Knights Shield, that should tell you how bad he is.
xXPU55Y_5L@Y3R69Xx I bet it wasn't even upgraded.
Just found your channel . Loving every single one of you videos so far. Great job.
I played dark souls for months. I loved how basic and satisfying the PvP was. I managed to work myself into the top 10 book of guilty and after that the game began to eat itself.

The 2 songs at the end is just perfect
As mentioned in the description, there's trainers that FREEZE the HP bar at max, thus bleed outs might not work in that aspect. That and I know of some trainers that flat out makes you immune to bleed.

milesbennettdyson I joined the Way of White and the first time I turned human, I got invaded 10 seconds later and killed in 1 hit. ._.
Oh Macross Frontier, the memories your songs bring me
i freaking love that austin powers line
ive seen that part like 20 times already
You would never see it, because when the messege appears, it says ,,you were indicted"
Also, does anyone know the name of the victory theme at the end? it doesn't seem to be any of the songs listed, so i really have no clue what it is or where it's from. D:
(to my previous comment) this is NOT referring to stat changing, only health/stam/spell/whatever freezing to accelerate the leveling process for optimization
Scrubs will be scrubs.
That moment when you realize he was turtling with a shield the whole time with infinite hp.
You sir deserve to be canonized in the world of dark souls as a "slayer of the immortals".
What was that last music? The one that started right after Diamond Crevasse
haha got a smile on my face right now so funny. btw what songs did you use are they from an anime? if so which ones. If not then whose music is it? thanks in advance. hilarious :3
can anyone explain why he is using a shield? I'm too slow to comprehend
Yeah, I know, I'm actually not even sure if you can use the Silver Pendant to deflect Pursuers, I remember I once tried it and the damn things were left stuck on my aura, and when it vanished the shit hit me from all sides.
It was like that Manus spell, but replace Manus with a polish player spamming "Well, what is it?" and the Moonlight GS' R2 twohander.
Whats the name of that second song playing?
Loved the video by the way, great editing effects~
not sure if it's for pc or something but i saw a video that had the invader meet a hacker in the forest and he knew he had to bleed him w/ his Katana and he did... so does bleed build up work on hackers?
I have seen you use several weapons with different enchants. How/why do you know which weapon to use when? Is it to counter your opponents weapon?
how do you pivot backstab I cant ever do it
Emarrel, i really love your videos. I think those songs are just ... genius (sayonara xD).
Oh just curious does force works agains dark magic? like the other projectiles?
You sir, are a saint and deserve to be canonized as such.
Saint Ledge.
hm ok because i thought on pvping with my lvl 100 in anor londo but then i remembered emmarel saying something about lvl 120 anor londo so i lvled him to 120 but i didnt find any enemys not with blue eye orb or red eye orb. Maybe all the people are in Oolacile township now? (playing on pc)
Emarrel, are you doing these videos on the PC port w/controller or on a console?
And I assume you use sony vegas for editing?
oh btw which lvl is youre char and what do you think is the best lvl to do Anor Londo PvP in terms of finding encounters easy?
i had to re watch the very last part of the vid.
seriously, i thought "There is NO way he just rolled off on his own..."
You are one of my dark souls heros. the other two are the guy who had a dual skeleton wheel build and the guy with the dual crossbows/bows build (i blanked on their names)
The "trainer" is a program which makes you almost impossible to kill. To my knowledge, it's only available on PC, but the 360 version also has other hacks and whatnot on there from what I can tell.
what level was that guy, judgeing by the drop of 880958 souls?
What I meant was that there was no damage could be done by me.
There was damage prompt showing up (and I was hitting the person)... Like if the person had an invisible shield that could only be broken by magic.
After I hit the guy with magic, after some time, I was able to damage him.
(and I'm also on PS3)
Oh, so the main strategy for dealing with hackers is the exact same as dealing with literally any other player? It's almost like the developers don't care.
Of course, they do care. They care a whole lot. Hackers are a factual part of the lore.
that's why people gets banned for cheating in DS2 lol
Hornet ring is also good for this situation, most back stabs while wearing that will cause you to fling your opponent farther.
I keep meeting the same hacker in the forest with the same thing. Cant be bled and when i lure him to a ledge he stands well away and shoots me with a Great Bow. It even got to the point where ANOTHER Forest hunter hacker joined and started killing me. Theres no beating these people.
I need to stop watching this video randomly when I'm bored...
Dark magic is balanced and an enriching addition to dark souls pvp.
Your videos are too good, Em.
Are you going back to consoles once the DLC hits?
what is the stats fo that build ?
How do you deal with someone who uses the one hit kill hack in the trainer? I was invading this guy who used it (trying to not get hit) but he hit me (balder side sword) with lag and instakilled me twice (first time through the shield). I then loaded up the trainer and used infinite health and then invaded him again, dodged him and hit him (but he had infinite health on too O_o) and he hit me and STILL instakilled me! WTF?
I loved that sound on the popping humanity o_o
1:47 "Come at me bro!" Aah... Anyway, just a question: Why do people want to cheat? I mean, whats the fun if you're immortal or something like that?
Thank you. You've avange a lot of us.
How to deal with hackers? Easy way: get the counter-hack. If you're not a scrub you will activate it only if you are invaded by hacker and deactivate it when he is gone.

+Алексей Зворский you are a hero
+Алексей Зворский I do the same. Give'em a taste of their own medicine
feels better to beat them with regular means tbh but i get what you're saying
Couldn't you also use Curse to kill someone with infinite hp? (like stunlocking them in the Sewers near all those frogs).
I will now hear Mike Meyers' "Yeah, baby!" in my head whenever I land an initial strike parry.
i dont know why u got a negative note but i feel u even when i have good armor they kept on one shoting me can any one help me get a modded wepon to get revenge
i died with the slow motion and the music
I did run into what I believe was a hacker on PS3 once. I was invading in the forest, and as soon as I spawned in, I saw my enemy, a mile away, running around and swinging his weapon. The problem was, as he swung his weapon, it was dealing damage to my health bar despite him being far away the entire time. I died very quickly as I was unable to dodge or block.
I lol'd so hard at the end of the vid, the music was epic
god I am going to miss these.
oh love the japanese music, mind giving me a list of those in your vid? :)
I have had one for quite a long time and I don't recall any hacks. I might not have noticed.
this is really good! nice work
Also, why did he turtle?
isn't there an auto kill hack to counter this?
40-60 seems to be the average for Anor Londo, but you can get higher levels as well. It's a prime PVP area, just like Kiln for higher levels.
Thanks for bringing at least a little of the true Dark Souls experience to those too lame to seek it themselves.
The only thing that sucks is that you don't make more videos q-q
YOU HAVE BEEN INDICTED
Tips for not getting backstabbed:
1. Don't be too aggressive
2. Learn how to not get backstabbed with quick R1/L1 or counter BS
3. Don't roll around and give them your back.
4. Forward movement/Lunge = Potential back-take
5. Know your weapon ranges and/or dead-angles

Oh my god, that Austin Powers parry sound. I want it so badly.
Pursuers is only broken when combo'd with Dark Bead in cramped areas.

hey buddy you know in editing he just sped the video up right?
I really like the music you use in your videos
why dont they just play offline?
inFamous 2 reference?
Probably Hei from Darker Than Black (not sure though)
I spam roll until pursuers disappear because, as I said before, there will be times where you roll right past them and they fly away into the distance, only to one shot you a second later.
LOOK AT THAT FUCKING SOULS
It's not the same without, "You were indicted!" right after.
E) is A, B, C and D lolwut?
We have an expert here, gentlemen.
OMG I LOVE THAT SONG WHEN HE ROLLED TO HIS DEATH LOL
Sayonara. Sayonara.

well its only used after you realize whats going on, and its rather harmless as it just disconnects the two players and really doesnt effect the hacker negatively other than hopefully making them realize how obnoxious they are
its depending on how much souls someone is carrying and if the enemy carrys max souls you get 880k~
it does involve modding your save file, but yes.
And while these attacks by themselves are able to be countered, they don't exist in a vacuum. Just because the problem is lag doesnt take away from the fact that there IS a problem.
Nice mushihimesama sound bite at the end.

He didn't watch all of the video. Probably stopped to get his rage on after he saw the player fire DB off or saw it in on the selected spell.
