Finally! The prophecy has been fulfilled!

[@NIKE-biker]

As my feedback I’d say 10/10, very impressive thinking and cooperation, and not like the “can you beat dark souls using “x” weapon” because 98% of the time if it does at least 1 damage it means it’s beatable, but this is really good because it needs actual thinking and effort to beat the challenge, even as a game veteran in both the game and it’s questionable exploits I still managed to learn something new 🙏

[@ghostraptor1741]

Awesome video. Now do bloodborne in alphabetical order

[@Zorro7269]

@@ghostraptor1741 You can’t just ask him to do it, he has to research the stuff a ton first to see if it’s even possible to beat one boss in alphabetical order.

Could you do a challenge run where you have to kill all the bosses from all 3 dark souls in alphabetical order

[@ViviveryVicious]

Dying to Midir and needing to run the setup again is about where I would've dunked my head in freezing water before taking at least 3 weeks off from the challenge. The dedication from you, Tor and the glitch hunters is phenomenal. You absolute champs.

[@Orillion123456]

I can't even imagine an online session reliably staying active that long. Even if people's real-life time schedules, patience or physical exhaustion causing mistakes weren't a problem, it feels pretty much guaranteed that one person gets disconnected at some point, thus ruining the process.

[@tor_aop4478]

Invader friend Tor here! Was a pleasure planning this run out for you, insane to think the most linear game could be fully cleared alphabetically. Big thanks to the rest of the Souls glitch hunting community for their help in discovering the glitches in the video! See you all again for Elden Ring! (Hopefully) (Edit: the community has not given up on current patch Iudex Gundyr skip, there is still a bounty for whoever finds it. I'll be sure to link it if a skip is found!)

[@NGPlusVideos]

Thank you once again for everything, I'd have been lost without you. Hard to believe this took nearly 3 months!

[@Tp_hedgelinghog]

It's really cool seeing the creativity about breaking and routing games like this! I love the Souls game, but I would never run it this way because I get more entertainment from the marvel of it all.

[@ZachFerg]

Muuuuch respect for getting to Midir. I would have gone nuts going at that route for 5 hours!

The stairs thing is crazy, but I wouldn't expect less from the dark souls community

[@NGPlusVideos]

It was crazy to see the plan come together bit by bit in real time.

[@thesenate1844]

Logistically its no different from Lego Star Wars where 2 Jedi lift each other with the Force. Speaking of which I would love a Lego game with Soulsborne gameplay. The Anor Londo bridge lever is already straight out a Lego game anyway.

[@GibbyFromBIGGBY]

I mean, if you wanna be super technical, the "Nameless King" by definition has no name so he doesn't appear anywhere on the alphabet! Beat him whenever you'd like!

[@NGPlusVideos]

That's the best excuse possible

[@seanhennessy3968]

Back in my day, you beat Nameless King at letter S.

[@planescaped]

Yep, his name ought to be _________

[@RutilantBossee]

The nameless king is the firstborn of Gwyn, the firstborn of Gwyn was lord of war and the people of Forossa venerate the God of War, and call him Faraam, so the Nameless King is almost certainely named Faraam (weird it's not Gwynsomething, but hey, Filianore is there so there is a precedent)

i mean there have been similarly crazy skips in some categorys of actual speedrunning... iirc zelda twighlight princess low% had a glich that required you to stare at a rupy unmovingly for like 24+ hours. I think they banned that one to keep the category playable. ^^'

[@richyrich6511]

During the king of the Storm fight the nameless king will still swing at you with his weapon while mounted so that makes it a 2 phase fight of one boss and should go by the name of the 2nd phase.

[@reapersblood2385]

I have been watching YT for about 16 years (ofc I never watched it for the first 2 years of my birth) and this is by far one of the craziest videos I have ever seen in my entire life,I was literally wowed and in awe for almost the entire time and if this doesn’t prove you the souls community is determined and how this video deserves a like,idk what will.

[@george_o_wilson4290]

Bro your birth lasted 2+ years? How long were you watching during your birth? :o

[@dracokaleb1239]

I'd say if Sister Friede, Father Ariendel, and Blackflame Friede all count under B, King of the Storm and Nameless King would both count under N. Gotta be consistent with those rulings.

[@thatguywiththetripod8577]

I think this is my favorite of the Dark Souls Alphabet Runs because it addresses the potential problems the last two had. Bosses grouped together to, but don't follow each other in the list, Bosses that change their names after each phase, and Bosses that technically two (see Nameless King). Seeing how you tackled and change the rules to make the run as legitimate as possible was a point of interest for me. That and the batshit insane ways the community came up with to bypass or get to certain bosses. The staircase is insane. In this series beating the boss was the easy part, GETTING to them was the hard part. And the fact that the game with the least open world is the only game in the trilogy where it is possible to beat all bosses in alphabetical order is just so funny to me. (Also Dark Souls 3 was my first Dark Souls game, so this was a treat I was waiting for.) Keep up the good work!

[@dognamedpancake1016]

I cant believe a 1 hour long video was this much fun to watch. This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. The commentary was spot on. Massive congrats on such a well crafted video. Truly I have no other words to say except Hats off.

You are absolutely insane. Just like the dude that helped with planning.

[@thenarrator6846]

Personally, I would argue that since Nameless King is inaccessible without kiling King of the Storm, they are different phases of the same fight rather than two seperate bosses. Great video though! Love the dedication

Idk if anyone else mentioned this though, and correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe there is a hidden bonfire below the tower past Pontiff pre-Anor Londo, you’d just have to defeat two of the giant lizard-dog monsters to access it.
