what? idk what im doing i tried to piece together the letters from both and messed around with ceaser code i think im far from what really should be done XD edit: i was over complicating it :D

[@TheJagaren]

While it would have possibly ruined a part of the challenge, i would 100% gone with a bleed weapon like uchi at the start to get that extra dmg in 😅

[@cristianmantino5720]

My first thought would've been going cold with Vordt's Hammer instead. Kinda cool if you think about it, bleed dex and cold str

[@TheJagaren]

@Ron_Jambo_ I very much disagree on that, bleed builds have been very good to me during my playthroughs and I'm a filthy dex user that likes quick weapon so it fits my playstyle. There are quite the numbers of bosses that are immune but the ones that aren't are a cakewalk with a bleed

[@YourAverageSpelunker]

@Ron_Jambo_ you are completely wrong. bleed is broken, especially in earlier ds3 patches. it does a % based health drain, so bosses that arent immune would have been pretty easy for this run. i didnt think of it at the time which is why i didnt use the uchi or bandits knife.

[@venerablewu8744]

​@YourAverageSpelunker the difference is negligible unless u going full bleed Which aint needed at all

[@YourAverageSpelunker]

@@venerablewu8744 no. i was doing basically nothing and a bleed would have demolished the game.

[@grfrjiglstan]

The most reliable way to handle the Crystal Sage with low damage is to parry, riposte, and _not land any follow-up hits._ If you do this, the sage will only teleport once, at the start of phase 2. After dealing with his clones, repeating the parry strats will mean he never teleports again, and thus never summons any other clones.

[@scarletblink61]

Or just poisen him and hide in a safe spot

THE TWIN PRINCES FIGHT WAS SO HYPE I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THE FULL THING AFTER THE PROOF OF CONCEPT!!! ty for making these videos they help me kill time while grinding 🙏

Nope! No I can't beat ds3 like that. But you might be able to. Let me watch and find out.

Did you find out if he did or not? I'm gonna watch the vid tomorrow but I'm dying to know

I’m amazed by videos like these, I’ve just had my first playthrough of dark souls 3 with dlcs and I did it!! And I feel so good but how are you this good to beat the ng 7 omggg, you’re the best

[@Big-Hat-Logann]

If anyone is still having trouble with Vordt hit him with a charged heavy attack in the face while he's charging up his ice breath.

im pretty sure i just forgot, dancer is when i stopped for the day and when i came back i had the footage of killing her without my death, so i just assumed first try

[@tigerbreadmuncher1]

for ng8, i personally would've focused on bleed and poison haha, starting off with thief class. the normal damage along makes this challenge hard enough without a proper build, congrats on completing it 👏

19:30 Even after finishing Sekiro and the Elden Ring DLC, the Twin Princes are the only boss that has ever taken me 2 days to beat

[@luisenriquequirozgallardo5216]

Why?? I did it in 30 minutes. I don't know why but any of the bosses ( i haven fight a lot of the optional ones) were easy... Maybe my build? Full strength with dragon slayer great axe but wasn't that hard

[@hackysac4528]

I had this happen to me, got invaded by a hacker and when he killed me it put me in ng+7 stats, I never had such fun with the early game. Starts to feel the same about halfway through but early is hard and fun.

[@unseenone1152]

The old demon king was the first boss that gave me trouble in my level 1 run.

NG+7 is the cannon difficulty the player character went through and beat the impossible odds to me.

Dope video, new sub

[@randibillett472]

You know, I love me a good challenge run, but I have to say: It bothers me that so many creators will call their challenges 'can you beat (insert game) under (insert requirements)'. Like, of course you can beat DS3 as a NG character in NG+7. It's just going to be a massive pain. By all rights, the video should simply be titled something to the effect of 'Beating DS3 NG+7 with a NG character.' It doesn't take away from the fact that you did something very difficult, and I'd still be inclined to watch it without the title having double question marks. Is it an algorithm thing? Does KZbin not suggest videos like these if they aren't acting like they're posing a question that's genuinely up for debate? A good example of a person who makes challenge runs where the feasibly of the challenge is question is Gamechamp3000. Videos like 'Can you beat Splatoon without firing the Hero Shot' and its sequel are a great example, because not only does it show creative thinking to pull off (at one point for the first one she mentions using your nose to hit the dpad so you don't take your finger off the analog stick), but that particular challenge actually turns out to be not viable for the second game, and having to turn the question mid-video (and for all subsequent videos of this name for the Splatoon games) into 'how many shots does it take.'

[@Jace-uw6ml]

bruh nobody gonna read allat

[@randibillett472]

@@Jace-uw6ml That's cool. The reason that's so long is that I'm not trying to be pointlessly rude to Spelunker; I'm aiming for constructive criticism, and for me, that means giving an explanation for why the title bothers me and examples where posing such a question makes sense.

[@YourAverageSpelunker]

@@randibillett472 i think the question makes sense regardless, thats just how you pose a challenge run to be honest. just look at the backlogs' titles

The game doesn't scale to journey 7, it scales to ng+7

[@YourAverageSpelunker]

journey 7 is max scaling. ng+6 is the correct term for it, but i used ng+7 because literally the entire internet is wrong about it. its a common misconception.

[@Kawaiilolrofl]

@@YourAverageSpelunker I'm sorry but that is not true. Check the fextralife wiki. Ng+6 as in journey 7 has a 1.35 ng+ modifier. Ng+7 as in journey 8 has a 1.4 ng+ modifier. I recently did my annual "adventure to ng+7" run and ended up seeing higher soul drops in ng+7 (as in journey 8) than in the previous run. Still, I love this game and I loved the video as well.

[@YourAverageSpelunker]

@@Kawaiilolrofl fextralife is consistently wrong. about more than lore too. theres a reason local mechanic legends like illusory wall didnt work on the fextralife wiki.

The line if you ever killed dancer before vordt fucking kills me. My first playthrough I killed the lady and though dancer was the 2nd boss. Mind you I had NO HIT gundyr, got the greataxe as my first weapon drop off an enemy and a helm from one of the lower knights on the stairs. All while being new to darksouls. I did however scream at the one dude who transformed into the glob thing. I was level 67 when I beat dancer. I had yet to go DOWN THE STAIRS. Or talk to my friends about the boss. They were talking about finally reaching her after the fight with the onion knight, when I went: After? I just got past her and am now fighting a dragon dude? Do we fight her twice? And that’s when I learned I had: got gud. It was an utter pain in the ASS. I’ve killed her first on almost every challenge run I’ve done tho, cos it’s easy souls now… after fighting her more than 3000 times.
