7:48 I find it personally more weird, that the Master Key can be used to open the upper residence with the 3 gold pine resin, but not to free Griggs. In spite of both residences needing the same key

[@Blandy8521]

Yeah the Master Key is somewhat inconsistent imo.

[@Eshtian]

Theoretically, the first door might be a simple lock that opens with the residence key, but the second door is a more complicated lock that requires the residence key. No idea how locks work but I'm sure there's some way to do it.

[@JBuckley1997]

​@Eshtian Could be possible. It might be a question for LockPickingLawyer to get the best answer, but at a guess it could be that the Parish door has less pins and the residence key matches those pins amd then is the actual key for the house in the lower berg.

[@ripinchaos906]

@@JBuckley1997 It could be that the master key is a bump-key, and some locks have bump protection while others don't

[@xneet00]

Master/skeleton keys aren't anything special, its the lock. It is very possible and simple for a key to open a variety of locks that have nothing in common and unable to open any locks associated with each other.

I prefer the miracle run to the sorcery run. It's the difference between trying to get through the day with 100 pistol rounds, or 10 RPG rounds. The former may be easier, but you'll have to make a lot more interesting choices in the latter.

I didn’t know this for the longest time, but Ceaseless Discharge won’t do the suicide jump until after he rips his arm off. This usually isn’t an issue since he USUALLY does it first thing after picking up the gold hemmed set, but if he doesn’t he will just spam you with fiery arm cannons from a mile away until he does

[@SyfyRules]

this is why retrying the fight after stealing his sister's clothes is almost impossible with certain builds, it's a hard vigor check or pure RNG death looping as he wont tear his arm off again until you return to near where you stole the dress from in the first place

[@FG-ww8rc]

Thank you so much for this i never understood why I couldn't get him to do it if I died the first time

[@tbotalpha8133]

He's not actually "ripping his arm off". He doesn't have a right arm at all. He has a hole in the right side of his chest, that his left arm is usually slotted into. What he's actually doing is pulling his left arm out of the hole. It's a bit hard to tell because of how chaotic and messy his model is, but that's what he's doing.

[@SyfyRules]

@@tbotalpha8133 I think the actual animation is less relevant than the whole spamming wall of fire until you return to the altar mechanic...but ok whatever...

[@IsaacClodfelter]

I remember trying to fight him blind and just running around in front of him rather aimlessly as I couldn't reach his body without walking off the edge. Fun times.

[@sgtstr3am785]

I like that 2-3 seconds of pure silence after the pun. We all know the face he's probably making too

[@moderntotem4127]

This has probably been said a thousand times already but the Four Kings only do Magic damage, therefore Great Magic Barrier will allow you to tank all of their hits with 80% magic absorption.

[@topbanana3096]

I think you could have made this run a bit easier on yourself by using Velka's talisman near the beginning of the miracle run, it is a talisman which scales off of intelligence instead of faith. It is especially useful if you are using the Gravelord miracles as those have 0 faith requirements.

[@Banks0213]

While I completely agree with your point, I feel that that would go somewhat against the nature of the challenge or, perhaps, feel like somewhat of a copout even if it's a smart play.

[@KaroxNightshade]

I actually think it's probably easier to use the Darkmoon catalyst for the sorceries. Most of the best spells only need like 24-25 INT to cast, and the Darkmoon catalyst will let you start leveling FTH early.

[@topbanana3096]

@@KaroxNightshade I would normally agree with you, however you don't get the Darkmoon catalyst until after you reach Anor Londo. The main reason I think playing around getting Velka's talisman works is because you get it right after Gargoyles, which would make it especially useful after doing the sorcery run, while if you did the miracle run first and then did the sorcery run, you would have to wait a while before you can get any use out of the levels put into faith. I do get what you are saying though, other then the Gravelord miracles, most of the other miracles have much higher faith requirements.

[@Jaquan018]

I'm also kinda surprised he never considered buying the stuff in advance although it would probably defeat the purpose of the challenge. Like sure in this case the Only advantage would be having more uses of Wrath of the Gods and the one you'd get from Siegmeyer

[@dgknowles]

The "easy" order would probably be Miracles -> Pyro -> Sorcery. But I guess you know that now! Good run

[@xmgaming2444]

You'd have to start with either pyro or sorcery to have a damaging spell for the asylum though. Otherwise this would be the optimal order :(

[@hugodogobob]

Like the other guy said you need a damaging move for asylum so pyro or sorcerer. Also you couldn't get sunlight spear on ng

[@JudgeAnnibal]

Yep, Pyro > Miracles > Sorcery is probably the easiest. Sunlight Spear on NG+ is still obscenely powerful, and you save all the crystal spells for NG++

[@stormtrooperjon9212]

Also if you do Sorcery last, you could have 3x Dark Bead :D Dark Bead + RTSR + Power Within (ok that's using a Pyro too) + magic damage bonus from armor and rings is probably the most damage you can do with Sorcery :)

[@lilyqwan4915]

[@jmh8817]

good vid. i've always been curious to see how the various caster builds stack up against each other but not enough to, you know, run the game another 3 times, so that was interesting

[@TF2BluSoldier]

A tip for the Four Kings at 51:33 for anyone who struggles with this problem: They try to 1v1 you, but they have attack zone "bubbles" around each king. That's why sometimes they seem to gank you, sometimes they solo fight you. If you push them too far to the edge of the map (the room is large but still finite) and they can't back up further you end up entering their attack range bubble and get smacked. Try dropping a message from where you drop in, or a prism stone, and try to stay semi-close to that. That way, they'll always engage you solo.

Not only is it possible it's very easy. Start with miracles, get 50 FTH and 45 DEX, obliterate the whole game with lightning spears. Once finished, farm the slugs in the painted world with WOTG (by far the most efficient soul farming in the game without cheating) till you have 50 INT. Start NG+ as an OP sorcerer. Pyromancy is easy no matter when you do it, and it only benefits from the 45 DEX.

Anyways now I have hit the hard cap on all my magic rocking with a greatsword a gold tracer pyromancy and a catalyst on my inventory and it's been probably the most fun I've ever had in a videogame. Definitely recommend reaching the hard cap on all the important stats. It's just extremely fun utilising the game's full potential in a single character, switching between the sorceries and swords and stuff.

[@Zetro_Hermit]

Fantastic run! Two observations though: I think ornstein was just out-ranging your emit force shots base on the video, and I know from experience it's got a fixed very short range. Which can come in handy sometimes, like when you killed crestfallen with it detonating after his rolls. It's quite useful unlocked, as it will detonate either at the fixed range, or on contact with a surface. The other point though could have made your life immensely easier: In DS1 leveling dex to the soft cap of 40 increases your casting speed. For certain with sorcery and miracles, but I don't remember if it affects pyromancy.

[@grimroseslight635]

I’m a huge souls fan. I started to play ds1 again and I’m going to do your run with new game ++ but I’m going to be the ultimate magic caster. I will upgrade all sorcerer, pyro and miracle.

Me looking at the magic challenge runs and seeing the others "respect for the effort, bro deserves a sub" So, here i am. Great video man! I will be use to replicate your entire video (I am going to die to Asylum demon and ragequit after the 10th death)

I made a build pretty similar to what you have going on here. I called it the “Confused Heretic”. Spells, Hexes ( Pursuers, bead), and Miracles. Uses an enchanted +5 broadsword or +5 moonlight great sword.

Just finished my first sorcerer and dlc playthrough of DS1. It is so overpowered and fun from a traditionally tankie/ugs boy.
