Beating DARK SOULS 1 With Only Crystal Weapons - FINAL

[@lostfool2827]

Vagrants are such an exciting moment when you find one

[@olivewooled1297]

Wait they're uncommon? I've already found 2-3 and i'm on my first run. No evil ones though.

[@ironic4910]

​@olivewooled1297 that's crazy I've finished the game 6 times But just now found out they existed😂

[@emmanuelalfarogutierrez1866]

i found two on my first run leading up to gwyn, was so confused on why there was two evil crabs shooting me and then i found out they're super uncommon

[@LK_35]

I'm on the unremastered edition so I don't think I can find them :(

[@mellomoose_]

@@olivewooled1297its like the stars aligning because another playernin their world has to lose a lot of humanity or souls (i cant remember which) and that makes the vagrants spawn. (feel free to correct me if im wrong)

Fighting Gwyn legitimately instead of freehand parrying? Impressive.

[@k.m.m.a81]

have you tried doing it with a crossbow or just by poising through the attacks while 2 handing a long sword?

[@brettonalwood4173]

I thought the same when he didn't drop ceaseless discharge

[@luna7157]

@@k.m.m.a81 I've slain Gwyn with one weapon of each type. Sorcery was stupid easy, catalyst was not. That run is like using a slow, weak spear with only one attack.

Honestly I find that easier than parrying.

[@stormtrooperjon9212]

@@luna7157 I've killed Gwyn with a Black Knight Halberd in my left hand (shield hand)...was not fun :D (I did an an entire run with left hand only)

[@SunlightBlade]

I have a question! If I was to do the DLC with this character in NG+... how would you like me to do it? Keep it as is with crystal-only? Lmk :]

[@zeroone9066]

I think it's definitely worth attempting

[@kasperlund-b8b]

give it a try with crystal only for sure :D

[@Seekerskeep]

Yes plz

[@BlackValor93]

yes absolutely! i was a little dissapointed you didnt mention the dlc in the video, but i did have a fun time watching your playthrough!

[@Antbrat4.0]

Yeah do the dlc with only crystal

[@saeed31419]

The Age of Mythology music still slaps.

[@SunlightBlade]

always 💯

[@florapeeps]

I don’t think I've ever seen anybody genuinely kill Ceaseless!

[@Ruggi21]

I did, obviously the first time playing you shouldn’t (and I didn’t) know how to cheese him

[@georgepeslis5429]

​@@Ruggi21 i actually cheesed him by mistake the first time believe it or not. So this is the first time i saw someone fight him legitimately

[@lasarousi]

It's so easy to kill legit I didn't even consider there was a cheese.

[@atticusdoyle4667]

I will always remember my first vagrant encounter. It was my first playthrough and my friend was telling me where to go. I climbed the tower in the taurus demon boss room and there it was, right behind one of the hollows. It killed me instantly with that ranged attack. I thought it was a normal enemy until my friend told me that he had never seen it before in his original playthrough.

[@MrDaiohAzu]

6:55 not sure why, but the Titanite chunk drop celebration danse followed by the arrow to the back + the cut is peak comedy timing

[@SunlightBlade]

😂

[@Hiushisan]

I agree 100%. It was so perfectly timed in a way that would be near impossible to set up on purpose.

[@losersbecomewinners2043]

Please do the DLC! I loved watching this playthrough and would love to see more!

[@rowandownstream3539]

I had a Vagrant in my first playthrough as well which was an enormous surprise as I knew them to be extremely rare. There's been an effort by the community to help increase the spawn rates of these enemies by dropping items around the world as you play that eventually turn into Drift Bags. If you have a Drift Bag spawn in your game and leave it alone long enough it can pass on to another person's world where it might eventually turn into a Vagrant.

[@Cheesedrinker_]

This is the best dark souls challenge I have seen in a while

[@Not.Yurone]

The Age of Mythology soundtrack in the background really takes me back. very good choice

[@TuskyBaby]

What a great way to start my Saturday 😊 Your run through Tomb of the Giants reminds me of my Sorcery-only playthrough. I made a point to clear out and explore as much of the area as possible (something I had never done up until that point) with the help of Homing Crystal Soulmass. Such an op spell lol

[@HeisenbergFam]

Cant wait to see Sunlight beat Dark Souls with blindfold on

[@SunlightBlade]

woah now, lets not get too ahead of ourselves... :P

[@elis7081]

[@MattJDylan]

If for the crystal run he had to beat ds1 with the crystal set on, for the blidfold run he just has to beat ds3 with cornyx's headpiece... logic checks out

[@griegomamey4624]

0:10 skeleton jumpscare attack.

[@velvetdraws3452]

i actually love seeing the ceaseless discharge fight not being cheesed, usually people use the 1 hit method

[@ASTARH]

this is such a fun video, i really love when people do challenges around less used items, they can often be some of the best! or at the very least look really cool!!

[@onelazynoob15]

First person to actually fight Ceaseless Discharge legit in a challenge run ever

[@Gnim_Rodd]

the crystal set helm is my favorite looking armor so this is a gem of a vid

[@the_schalen4654]

Love the "mythic" music in the background ;D Took me back to a good nostalgia trip (lovely vid as always ofc

[@apennington8165]

1:44 The first time I got to ToTG I had no idea sunlight maggot or skull lantern existed, so I did the whole thing in pitch darkness. I fell to my death dozens of times and got jumpscared by every giant, crawling skeleton along the way. Good times.

[@tristenglover8377]

It was fun to see a more casual video of a challenge run.

[@bloodcorer]

8:00 if you go on the right, jump over the lava, there is a small area which is more open for the player to confront the Sentipede Demon. You will take enough damage but if you manage to jump at the right time (it´s not that difficult) you will survive. Just don´t forget to drink an Estus afterwards.

[@ДенисБалыков-щ8ф]

I just wanna say...I love you, SunlightBlade. I watched you since 2015, when I sit in the blackout and watched your top 10 videos at night because electricity has been turned on at nights. Thank you for your content even 8 years after.

Can we just appreciate the age of mythology music in the background? Love it.

Through out all my years playing souls games, I've never one seen a Vagrants. So this is definitely an eye opener for me. Thanks for showing that.

[@PokeGuy6]

Well done on completing the challenge dude! Must've been so hard mainly cuz of the various restrictions and the fact that you can't repair the actual Crystal Weapons (not the infused weapons). Very well done.

[@alphyn2068]

I love the vagrants, I was in Dukes Archives the other day helping randoms with Seath and when I came back to my world a evil vagrant spawned on the left bookshelf and shot me in the back with all the spikes. Gave me a good scare and laugh after it killed me.

These games age so well. I still rock a playthrough roughly every 18 months.

[@Hiushisan]

The sheer variety of weapons/armor makes them so much fun to replay. And they're short enough that it doesn't feel like a slog to get through. I've played through DS2 almost a dozen times myself.

[@The_Arisen]

A shorter runback for four kingsis from the darkroot bonfire. After the second elevator, jump the gap (skipping the stairs), and then roll 2-3 times (once to dodge thes ghost, and the rest to drop off the ledge). And then you're there! Illusory wall actually did a video on the rarest enemy types! Vagrants are number two, with the gravelorded chaos eater taking number one.

[@thesongofthelinnet]

I know that you already finished this run, but: slumbering dragoncrest ring is your friend, if you wear that Seath can't hear you since he's blind, so you can attack him from anywhere and he'll just blindly attack trying to hit you. It also works for avoiding Nito's giant buddies they don't aggro when you wear the ring. You can go further into the boss arena than just the front door.

[@OwensShadow276]

Excellent video, thank you for finishing this! ❤❤❤

5:21 2 reasons: first they are demons and its the entrance of the demon ruins. Second The game wasn't fully programmed, so they just added the demons

[@BirdbrainEngineer]

Pretty sure the darkwraiths drop titanite chunks quite commonly, and so are the best place to farm, rather than the sentinels in Anor Londo.

[@Ark-413]

I found my first and only Vagrant back when I was going for the platinum earlier this year. Found it in the Crystal Cave, too!

[@robertmcpherson138]

Do it... if for no other reason then being able to fight Artorias. A boss that always has a soft spot for me because that was the fight that things went from "Yeah, I understand these games now." to "OMG, I love these games."

The challenge was really cool, but I noticed that at one point you used the black sorcerer set. I can see this at minute 12:55. Doesn't change the fact that it was a great video :)

That wasn’t him using the set - he was in the repair screen and repairing his crystal armor set. You can see that when he repairs his armor it moves up on the list and then you can see the black sorcerer set that he just owns in his inventory.

Are Vagrants a Remastered-only thing? Because I played Dark Souls 1 and the Prepare to Die edition and never saw even one of them.

They are from all versions. The yt channel Illusory wall has a really good video explaining them.
