[@samueledwards5705]

To be fair, I don't think this is RT's first run at DS, and plenty of souls fans do wildly gamebreaking runs like this. I think the issue most people have is that trying to perform a gamebreaking run on your first try, you know, might not be the ideal introduction to a soulsborne game.

[@IAmInsideYourWalls-wm9ek]

@@samueledwards5705 As much as I’d like to agree from my experience with the community people will just criticise your build and argue with you about even the weapon you use, been playing through bloodborne for the first time recently and I’ve settled on using the greatsword weapon since it’s familiar to me from being a DarkSouls player and this guy honestly wouldn’t shut up about how I was playing the game wrong and how I was trash purely based on the weapon I was using

I love and hate how most people completely misunderstand what's going on at that moment. "Oh, he just walks off the cliff because AI is dumb, cheese." No, he jumps to you to try to stop you from leaving with his sister's apparel which you stole. Also he has to have his arm released from his ribcage to even do that, and it's locked there at the beginning of a fight, so you have to put him in the condition to be cheesed in the first place.

In my experience the DS veterans only backseat people to go the "optimal" route, rather than intended direction of progress. Master key, early upgrades, avoiding the catacombs until you're way overleveled, etc. Honestly I think that's part of the reason Pinwheel has a reputation as a meme boss (some of it is deserved), because the Catacombs are meant to be tackled way earlier with a much weaker weapon but veterans avoid it because there's no reason to go there until you have the Lordvessel.

This “Free Guy” movie looks really good!

[@HughGort]

For people who want to play, there's a zweihander in the boner graveyard at the beginning and its basically just better in every way except damage (at first) than the sword rt got. You can flatten pretty much anything. If you are having trouble, put points into poise and use a shield because it matters in this first game.

[@Groxcima]

I'm so happy that rt finally rested and started uploading again. It's like being hungry for a while then finally get to eat and the food tastes more delicious than if you weren't hungry

[@redhunter9669]

I love how the mimic just spin kicks him in the mouth

[@masked3207]

I genuinely enjoy how this man goes the crackhead route

[@rakedetheron2353]

5:36 “What’s that move?” *Dies* The Dark Souls experienced wrapped up in about five seconds.

[@Wyonite]

Can’t wait to see the Ryan Reynolds rumble tumble fanfic.

[@jordanharper3333]

There was a slight story of the two in the comments somewhere if you want

[@espeo55445rules]

The entire dark souls series has always been one of my favorite games and has honestly been a big part of my life, and it makes me happy too see RT enjoying it too!

[@original_demonic]

I love these videos Cus they’re so stupid and yet still remains to finish at least part of the game, unlike a lot of other channels that do similar content

[@spaghetticarbonara3639]

He also said he’s fully doing dlc, so expect 2-3 more Dark souls vids like this!

[@Zeratultheking]

@@spaghetticarbonara3639 oh god, he is doing the DLC like this?!?!?! He'll waste at least 1-2 hours trying to fight Artorias with fat rolls.

[@ascended313]

@@Zeratultheking nah, Artorias without buffing is easy af and it’s extremely easier to knock him out of his buff with big weapons.

[@maxcampbellmusic]

5:34 you gotta love the last words "what's that move?" immediately followed by the more confident "he's going to kill me."

[@joshsweet8558]

You know they called Ornstein the drift king back in college

[@night-shadevirgo2104]

Running in the 90s

[@2HalfSandwiches]

I mean, all joking aside, RT very clearly knows what he's doing when he plays Dark Souls.

[@coffeecat7368]

As someone who is playing this game for the first time this year, I'm taking this video as fact.

[@Misterlguana]

6:01 man, I also hate doing the cheese strategy of beating the boss the way the developers intended me to. Just feels gross

[@Varg390]

I love watching people broke games, specially in this one.

[@Count.Saruman]

People break some games. Dark Souls breaks some people.

[@Succui]

@@Count.Saruman I’m a shell of what I used to be.

[@Count.Saruman]

@@Succui Maybe you should move on and go hollow.

[@hazeltree7738]

Give Ymfah a watch if you like people breaking dark souls

[@nyarg33]

I think the reason dark souls and its sequels/spiritual sequels became so popular in the first place and are still incredible to this day is because you're allowed to do things like this. not only is it a completely valid option, but the game doesn't baby you and try to hand-hold you out of areas with pop-ups or NPC's telling you "No, you shouldn't be here yet, play around in the low level areas little one :) ," you just do whatever you damn please. To quote Justin McElroy from the new Elden Ring Monster Factory "take the child locks off, and let me do my man business!"

[@MyNamesFredrick]

The beginning of Rtgame and RumbleTumble The quest to kill God.

[@MF-fd2ug]

this actually motivated me to play dark souls and after finishing it i can finally appreaciate how absolutely bonkers this route is

[@grfrjiglstan]

This video came at a perfect time for me, because I _just_ started a Castlevania run (whips, knives and bombs only) yesterday. I even had to do a cannonball run through Blighttown as well, because that's the earliest you can get the whip.

[@moosekababs]

"oh wait he's here hang on" i completely fucking lost it. I spit water everywhere. deadass

[@VoidsEclipse]

Instant click the second I saw Dark Souls. This is going to be great.

[@davisprater4731]

I just finished my first ever playthrough of Dark Souls 1 yesterday, and decided I should go and watch RT's Let's Play to see if there's anything I missed. Well APPARENTLY the only thing I missed was the work of an absolute psychopath. Daniel, why the hell are you fighting Havel in your underwear? Why the hell are you WINNING???

[@greydragon9082]

Gonna be honest, within the whole vod, it’s a lot more impressive. He doesn’t really die all that much I don’t think.

[@Electric0eye]

I love to imagine the invader was thinking "If I can't be summoned by RT, then I will kill him! And his precious Rumble Tumble too!"

[@robbieaulia6462]

Plot twist: Rumble Tumble is RT from another timeline

[@dr.puggles3610]

Wait…Rumble Tumble Rumble Tumble RT!

[@dorkygamer8626]

2:40 This is why you block while running past enemies, because if you’re blocking you can roll instead of jumping so you’ll get invincibility frames

[@Hidorisu]

It's just so cool when you realize RT basicly is playing CO-OP with one of his fans, and that person's day is probably doing great thanks to him

[@jennifercooper4738]

Thank you for providing a relief for me and others who have / been having intense amounts of anxiety and stress. You are a wholesome man, and I wish only good things for you. :)

[@Bbaronowo]

Waiting on the Ryan Reynolds X Rumble Tumble fanfic

[@bionicdragon5]

RT: Beating Dark Souls by completely stupid means Also RT: joins the Scalie Inquisition as soon as possible

[@alicerose1019]

If I remember correctly, the dragon weapons don't scale off stats at all, so once RT has enough strength to wield the greatsword, he doesn't need to put anymore in. I was hoping he'd switch to the black knight sword, it's one of my favourites through all the games.

[@Bellandora]

Having watched an in depth lore focused play through of Dark Souls, I’m impressed with what Daniel’s been able to accomplish. Whoever came in with RumbleTumble, I salute you!

[@valiang8867]

Newest character in the RT Gaming-verse: Ryan the Dragon

[@MonkeyMan56-dz9xu]

I don't know why but every once In a while I have the sudden urge to rewatch the rtgame dark souls 1 videos.

[@LarsonPercussion]

Welcome back rungle tungle! Glad to see you playing a classic
