Thank you for this playthrough, now I can finally beat dark souls 3 the way Miyazaki intended. I especially loved the part when you said "it's baronin' time" and proceeded to perform the most tedious and hard glitch in the game just to troll some Aldrich follower

[@FlexPaste]

excuse me sir, glitch isn't permitted here it's a normal playthrough!

[@nemanjaz.9113]

My favourite part of this video is when Baron said ''It's Castlin time!'' and then Normalled all over the Undead Legion. Brought me to tears. Truly, one of the Dark Souls 3 runs of all time.

[@grfrjiglstan]

Props for mixing up the route as much as possible, it's always nice to see a different order of operations in this game. Pro tip to avoid future agony: picking the gold coin as your starter gift gives you like eight of them. They can really help with farming the gas staff, or even the mimic hat if you like.

[@markopusic8258]

If I remember correctly it gives you 5 rusty coins and 3 golden rusty coins, so yeah, pretty good deal for farming.

[@cursorminor]

what do you mean this is the normal progression it even says so on the wiki

[@crimtheidiotgenius3694]

Since I know I wasn’t the only one curious about the lyrics to the “Yhorm the Giant” song he sang, here they are: Yhorm the Giant, he’s big and bad and deadly Yhorm the Giant, he has a huge machete That’s not a euphemism He’ll use it with precision So you just gotta learn to dodge and get into the rhythm as you Slash, slash, slash At his ankles and his hands Then you poke, stab, stab So much damage this is grand But just hit him ‘till he staggers And then stick him with your dagger And that big old giant crashes down to land Yes you hit him ‘till he staggers Then you stick him with your dagger And that big old giant crashes down to land

That dog really took me by surprise. Maybe they never get us like this, because we mostly just sprint past them and their AI needs a stationary target to initiate a grab? That would be the only explanation that would make sense to me. But even then one would think wed have seen it before.

[@captainsilentshadow9182]

I love the use of Ace Combat 5 Hanger(Mission Prep) music in the midir fight, and when you added it at 45:24 thank you, AC is a great series so to hear the music in a vid about A souls games is quite the treat

[@thewolfofthestars1847]

The Yhorm song actually took me back to when I did community theatre as a kid--our director wrote songs just like that for our plays, goofy but also a little awesome lol. I still remember the Jabberwocky song he wrote for Alice in Wonderland, the musical backstory of the Beast's curse from Beauty and the Beast... If we'd done a production for Dark Souls 3, it would've fit right in! Thanks for the nostalgia, I guess? Lmao

Glad to see you decided on a Normal run.

Apparently the poor lad gets Brain damage that way and just stops moving entirely.

[@Soapy-chan]

You and other challenge runners inspired me to try my own and Dark Souls 3 as my favorite game of them all is pretty perfect for it. I'm playing with a friend because that's even more fun and we were first doing a normal playthrough, then started one where we play as the workers from the undead settlement and now one where we have to equip new weapons, shield/chimes/staffs, armor pieces/sets and rings at the exakt time we pick them up and transpose boss souls right after defeating them. Also I posed the rule on myself that I don't explicitly level up to be able to use certain weapons, so I do often have weapons I am not able to weild. It's pretty fun so far though I have to say that I wouldn't be able to defeat certain bosses without his help probably, or only after hours and hours of trying. As someone who played the game only for 1500 hours, I don't feel ready for that yet. Also we'll do an item randomizer run next.
