Okay, so, I've been playing Dark Souls 3 for a long time now. It's gotten to the point where I can pretty much run it hitless consistently until Pontiff (where I'll inevitably miss a parry or two) and Nameless (that fire breath bomb tho). Finally, I decided to play Dark Souls Remastered, because I wanted to see where the modern series began. I'm thinking, "Oh, maybe I'll die once or twice in the bosses before I figure them out, and I'll beat the game in about 5 hours." My first death was on the steps from Firelink to Undead Burg. After that, it was all downhill. I've died about 30-40 times so far, and I've only beaten Asylum, Taurus, Gargoyles, and Moonlight Butterfly. Capra killed me good the one time I tried, and each new area I discover finds a new way to squash me flat. The roll timing is different, the level design is more cramped, the enemy tells are less obvious... I guess it's true what they say: Dark Souls is the Dark Souls of video games. Great job, dude. This run made me feel both worse and better about myself and my playstyle.

[@MantisCrawl]

6:08 wat

[@justindubeau334]

This is a rather complicated trick called the Sen's Gate Skip. Pretty much by parrying at a certain point on the stairs it causes the game to activate the top down camera normally used when you take a very long fall into a place without a floor below and die. But, the top down camera trigger is actually a different trigger than the death trigger. And the reason speedrunners do this is while the game is in the top down camera state, certain objects deload, one of which being the gate to Sen's Fortress. This allows them to enter Sen's Fortress / Anor Londo and get their end-game weapon without killing the Gargoyles or Quelaag. They end up killing them eventually anyway to get access to the firelink altar to set up a wrong warp into the Kiln of the First Flame, but by saving them until after they get the dragon tooth makes the fights go way faster so it saves time.

This is insane...! I like to think I'm good at Dark Souls, but this is something I can only dream of...Extremely well done, friend! I really wanna know, how does that last skip work, the animation switch from the Fireball to Homeward leading to warping in the Kiln? I don't yet know enough about the game to know how that happens. I'm guessing since you last rested at the Lordvessel, it counted that as your bonfire, but since the doors were closed it spawned you on the other side instead? I really have no clue.

[@Eckythumpmaster]

Old comment I know, but if you were still wondering. Using the animation switch from Fireball to Homeward lets Homeward cast quickly enough to do so in the split second you get after you choose the new warp location and the loading screen appearing. When the warp to Undead Parish was complete, Homeward tried to warp the player back to Firelink Altar, but doesn't know where to place the player because the 'last rested' bonfire is not the Lordvessel, it's now the one in Undead Parish. Each area has a default spot, set by the devs, as a sort of warping failsafe for situations like this. For the Firelink Altar, this just so happens to be beyond the door, in the Kiln itself, and that's where the player ends up.

[@tjvan679]

Hey, just a suggestion that might save time on a future run, you can actually Wrong Warp right after you get the lord vessel. Just rest at the lord vessel and warp to firelink shrine, right before the fourth bonfire flash on the loading screen, quit the application and when you restart, you'll be in the kiln. I don't know if you still read comments on here, but I thought I'd leave one in case you see it

Doing that method is a different category called any% force quit. In all other categories you aren't allowed to warp that way because it involves closing the game. Basically our definition of any% is actually any% no force quit.
