25 MORE Secrets In Dark Souls That You Probably Missed

[@Hiushisan]

The shortcut at the top of Sen's Fortress is so dang convenient for getting back to Andre while you're dealing with Anor Londo and before defeating Ornstein and Smough. Sen's Fortress is definitely my favorite area in the game. Also, a note on the pit in Lost Izalith, it's actually one of the places you meet Siegmeyer during his questline. I messed up and got him killed there in my first run.

[@libralonix]

You know this is a really good point, personally i find it a right pain in the a*** to keep trekking back and forth between the two blacksmiths, so i usually just wait until i have the lord vessel, but thinking about it, this lift would make the journey much easier! I definitely need to do a playthrough purely focussed on quest lines, I've done most of them, but i keep finding something I've missed or skipped along the way!

[@colinhoffman9092]

Not messed up, Siegmeyer wanted to be a gallant knight and help you for once, and dying as a knight was much better than his other options of going hollow and attacking his daughter

[@Eyedunno]

I looked at a guide, but not carefully enough because I still messed up. I killed all of the chaos eaters before talking to him to make sure he would survive and then was surprised not to get the slab from his questline. :( I figured out the thing about breaking the box before the rat can come out by accident, and it was a bummer because I like to farm humanity there, and killing that one with dark bead or whatever would have been nice.

[@TheWayne9350]

Regarding #17; you can speak to Kingseeker Frampt before Karth and still join his covenant and get the alternate ending. Its not about which serpent you speak to first, until you get the Lordvessel. I used Frampt to eat broken sword hilts and crush titanite pieces up until I get the Lordvessel on my current playthrough, and I just placed it with Karth. Frampt is butthurt now and no longer provides his services but thats how it goea.

Fun fact, a different position is required, but greatbows can be used to target manus outside his arena

@@libralonix I don't know, I did it myself cos I used a dupe to get like 999 dragonslayer arrows, but it's like near the entrance to the hollow where the fog wall is, so pretty far away, but using the hawk ring with the dragonslayer greatbow still let me shoot him

@@nothingnewhere6551 >Will still have to enter boss fight but he dies soon. False. He dies without you having to enter, and when you do, his empty health bar will show up. You'll be able to light the bonfire and everything else as normal. I killed him using dragonslayer arrows.

[@goneforgood443]

Awesome video, I knew of all of these except for number 8, that bandit axe explains why the spider shield is above the rat in that area, that's insane I always wondered why the spider shield was put there, thanks! also, I just wanted to say I loved the pacing of the video, and the way you slowly went through to the later parts of the game from the start throughout the secrets, this was a really well done video and very well narrated, nice work! it's always good to see newer content on this awesome game!

[@tabunga4669]

ALSO killing manus with arrows works better with poison arrows Edit: fire arrows

[@libralonix]

Looks like I might need to do "What's the stinkiest boss cheese" video lol

[@WaywardPython]

Sometimes I think poison arrows are the most OP weapon in the game. You can poison the Anor Londo archers, the giant sentinels before O&S, the man-eating clams before Seath and even the serpents in Sen’s Fortress (you wouldn’t think you could poison snakes, but there it is). Useless against rats and in much of Blighttown of course, but such a reliable weapon I always stock up on them in every game. It’s a shame there’s literally only one place you can get them (female undead merchant).

About the giant rat with the bandit's axe stuck in the eye. You can find very near the spider shield, which is part of the gear of the bandit class... poor fella lost his life to that absolute unit of rodent. The false eyes of the basilisks are in fact Eyes of Death, the covenant item of Nito's servants! :D The armored boar can be killed with the active fire in the area too! Just lure him near it and see how it's roasted slowly xD

[@TheSuperColonel]

For number 1 you can also shoot cheap wood arrows in front of you and use them as a makeshift marker while going for the slab. Did not know about 11,18,20,

[@libralonix]

That is interesting, do the arrows stay "stuck" in the floor then? I wonder how many other consumables may leave a "trace" on the invisible paths?

Fun fact: If you enter gwyndolin covenant and fight him or his fire keeper you will get an alternative dialogue Priscilla is one of the only optional bosses in the entire game It's implied that Kirk Of Thorns defected from the Darkwraiths and decided to protect the fair lady, the evidence is that you can find him on the Demon Ruins and Lost Izalith which this last location being near the Bed Of Chaos boss arena and close to one of the sisters of Izalith and after you finally defeating him you can retrieve from his corpse his set close to the fair lady

[@libralonix]

I've seen the Gwyndolin alternative dialogue before, but i didnt know that about Kirk of THorns, thats a nice little bit of lore. Regarding Priscilla, she is actually one of many optional bosses: Taurus Demon, Capra Demon, Gaping Dragon, Stray Demon, Centipede Demon, Demon Firesage, Dark Sun Gwyndolin & Black Dragon Kalameet can all be skipped if you really want to 😎

[@Eric6761]

@@libralonix but she's one of the two really optional

[@libralonix]

All of those i mentioned are really optional, this isn't by using any tricks or glitches. You can play the game from start to finish and skip every one of them if you want to. I'm not sure what you mean by "really optional", a boss is either optional or mandatory.

[@Eric6761]

@@libralonix for me optional is that you have to first start the fight, Gwyndolin you have to go out of your way to fight him and he even gives you an warning before facing him, Priscilla you have to start attack because unlike Taurus regardless he is going to attack you

[@libralonix]

Ahh ok i get what your saying now regarding Priscilla. However, if you are also including Gwyndolin then there is no difference with Kalameet or Stray Demon (and to a degree all the optional bosses), depending on if you "know" the game or not before playing, you kinda have to go out of your way for most bosses if you didn't want to go that way. I agree with Priscilla being "more optional", but Gwyndolin is just the same as all other option bosses imo

Best class is pyro because of starting set poison resist. Bump Garg tail. Curvy move for bloody dragonflies. Get loads of shards in Blighttown from +6 to +10 much much much faster than any other class. Get fireball so no need for black fire bombs and go master key. Only drawback is you have to go as far as the depths to get the first pyro so you will actually have to beat the Capra demon. You have to go blightown proper to get power within which is crucial for new game plus and plus plus. Can fully level a pyro hand and be low level. Gets you access. Does great damage against drakes to farm scales. Combustion/great combustion melee distance pyromancies are best spells in game. Dusk crown and lingering ring boost pyros too. Will have to free that quizzling in the basement. Go bloodshield it is worth it. For that matter bump garg helm, Logan’s chest piece, equip Smo’ gauntlets, bloody skirt blood ring and lifehunt scythe. If Dex and not get Priscilla’s tail go to ash lake and donate all scales. Will go well with pyro. Ash lake best spot to grind for twink titans. If faith make sure you kill big chested woman in pretty city. Then go as low as you can and play around with rings and statues. If faith Grant is a fucking slayer, be human on your way to the miasma lord. Recommend going intelligence because souls of hero’s just follow Logan throughout the entire game. After you have beaten the game a few times around, save approx 3000 souls and buy 999 wooden arrows. Be picky about your item list, change your mind about adjusting the brightness, and then just quit.

If we're talking Dark Souls 2 then I might believe there's some Secrets I don't know still, somehow. As much as I love Dark Souls the second one is probably my for real favorite, the other ones seem like half put together compared to Dark Souls II, Dark Souls 3 is still probably my favorite because of the bosses and I would honestly take any of these three over Elden ring which isn't bad but it just seems like a pale shadow in comparison

[@libralonix]

Dark Souls 1 is my cozy comfort souls game, i just absolutely love it, but you are right, as we know the 2nd half of the game was rushed, but i still think they did a very decent job overall. DS2 gets waaaaayyyyyyy too much hate, i get it, its not Dark Souls 1, but it IS a fantastic game in its own right, i love that they somehow managed to take Dark Souls and make it Darker, Grittier, and more challenging. As much as i tear my hair out (if i had any) i really love this game! Dark Souls 3 was, at the time of playing it for the first time, my favourite in the series. I felt like they had just perfected everything across the board, game mechanics, visuals, bosses, they were all just stunning. Especially the bosses, DS3 by far has the best bosses in the whole of the Dark Souls series (barring the DS2 DLC, is superb)! Now Elden Ring, for me, this is the swan song to the Dark Souls series, it took everything FS had learnt over the last decade and made an almost perfect game, i just love everything about ER, my only complain was it wasn't big enough!

If you beat the 4 King's before you get the Lord Vessel and talk to Darkstalker Kaathe, he will have extra dialogue "...Now go, undead Warrior. Show the world that the truth becomes you." This is possible if you have a strong weapon like the Zweihander or Gravelord Sword. You must also kill Sif for the ring and the NPC who normally gives you the key to the abyss. He drops the key upon death, letting you get into the boss fight before ever getting the Lord Vessel.

The reason I create these videos is to put all this information in one place where other fans (new or old) can enjoy and learn some little tid bits. Some may know everything, others may only know a few. But these videos are helpful to some, and that's all that matters to me.
