Ironically, Dark Bead is a more realistic shotgun, than most shotguns in shooter games.

[@luisfilipe2747]

Right? Some games have a shotgun that's basically a rifle with little less range

[@anwd8646]

@@luisfilipe2747Funnily enough, depending on what’s being shot, a shotgun can actually be similar to a rifle. I mean, the things are used for hunting, you need at least some range to hunt animals. And you can’t say that a shotgun is only close range, some can go longer ranges. Not all shotguns are like that, some definitely can’t be used mid range, but there’s a few which can.

[@luisfilipe2747]

@@anwd8646 well, rifles have rifled barrels, hence the name, and that's what make the bullets travel straight. Shotguns that are rifled inside are hybrids, not shotguns per se, besides, most shotguns on games are presented as the regular ones

[@DeuxisWasTaken]

There is no shotgun in the world with this kind of spread. The most realistic shotguns are like the ones in FONV, small spread over medium to long distance, not BLAM a magical fucking 60° cone of projectiles somehow.

Can you beat Dark souls with Dark souls weapons?

[@honeykrisp16]

Ultrakill music just fits so well with this build

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

I know right dark bead feels like shotgun parrying constantly

[@kyoufo]

the damage could've been more insane with Manus Catalyst 😩

[@AssholeTingler69]

Omg is that famous dark souls KZbinr kyoufu????

[@user-ud6xi1mo8t]

yes, but you need about 40 strength for Manus' staff to be stronger. and the difference in damage is only 100-150 units higher for the entire cast

[@kyoufo]

@@AssholeTingler69 bro said famous, thank you

[@Ostr0]

It's already strong jeez man meanwhile I'm trying to beat the game bare handed with no dragon form.

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

I tested the manus one at 40 strength, it didn't make that big of a difference, trust me I was excited to use it :((

[@TheFrontLines955]

New challenge: Beat any dark souls game backhanding everyone

[@luigiscarpa9267]

The name of the video should have been "can anything survive dark bead?"

[@Tertial5574]

The usage of ULTRAKILL soundtrack took me by surprice, a Really nice one

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

Ultrakill soundtrack is so so good honestly

[@Karan-Aujla]

1. You HAVE to use the Manus catalyst. It's B scaling in strength adds on to the damage of dark bead/other dark sorceries. 2. If you want maximum burst damage, start using pursuers too. Both of these things and the already mentioned curse effect is the most optimised build.😊

[@TripliseTralipo]

Em muito inimigos, o cajado de crista da mais dano com o rosário Negro, praticamento 90% dos Bosses sofre mais dano com o cajado de cristal.

[@leoswann578]

​@@TripliseTralipovc nn entendeu, ele quis dizer 2 mágias combadas, e sim o Cajado de Manus dá mais dano 2x com magia sombria

[@TripliseTralipo]

@@leoswann578 eu testei com quase todos os inimigos do dark souls de ps3 original, fiz o teste com os dois cajados no ng+6 com o meu nível máximo, usei um bug de duplicar almas para ter nível máximo, ultilisei a magia negra ( rosário Negro ). Texta no seu jogo e passa os resultados mais presido com número de dano, magia, nível e ng+ ultilizado no seu texte, eu não consigo mais jogar dark souls

[@blu4390]

manus catalyst does not boost damage that much, unfortunately, the total damage scaling with 40 strength, of the entire darkbead is less than 200, its not really worth it

[@grrrr255]

Idk man, difficulty selection is great if done right, like in STALKER or RE7. It makes both you and the enemy deal more damage, while also changing the map and item placements in the latter.

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

Actually do agree about the re7 one, that dlc (?) hard mode that turned the game into a rogue like was actually so fun to do

[@austinclements8010]

truly the hardest of any dark souls challenge, i commend you sir

[@robert_theWalker]

the intro was fire, so i watched the whole thing. this video was amazing

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

[@molkwi9077]

The edgiest shotgun there ever was

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

I wish it came back in elden ring honestly, would have looked so so good with the upgraded engine :(

[@boltbat7_398]

It was more interesting to see what actually survived a cast

[@Rosy_bun]

Look it up. RIght now.🙂 Also kudos for the ultrakill music :)

[@jochem3634]

i like your humor in the videos

[@quentingau9398]

this vid can be called "can I win using the op spell?" well no sh- you can

[@AfterlifePlays]

That intro was fucking awesome

[@tdog1780]

I had a timer go off on my computer while watching this for a solid 5 minutes just confused as to why this guy just had an alarm as part of his video

[@bonehead1st]

If you get cursed power within goes off of your new max health of -50% add the dusk crown ring for another 50% and now your at 1/4 your normal max HP and the Sanctus shield can heal you faster then power within can kill you sadly RTSR goes off your current max HP so you would need to drop below 20% of that to trigger it

[@choirsoftheeye]

"Can you beat Dark Souls by playing Dark Souls?" hahaha nice video :) can't wait for the manus-only one!

[@cardonaal312]

10/10 luscious voice. Really enjoyed the ds content, can't wait for what you got in store!

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

:))

[@DezZzO_YT]

old DS videos: can I beat the whole franchise without moving and with 1 hp in a row? new DS videos: can I beat one game with the most broken spell and very optimized build in the history of souls

[@ilnoct]

that's like asking if you could win a world War with only Nukes. yes but the prep time takes a little longer then usual

[@Ashenboi]

On tomorrow's episode of can you destroy a country using thermonuclear weapons...

[@KaoruMzk]

Oh! You're doing a one-shot challenge? Neat!

[@amantureu]

Holy shit the intro is pure Kreygasm. I got goosebumps

Great video man

[@swampzoid4114]

That intro was too SICK my guy

[@JellyJman]

Dark Souls 2 turned this from there Super Shotgun to just the regular shotgun 😞😢

[@AverageDoctor345]

And then DS3 got rid of it completely

[@DarkCT]

theres a reason i like the fromsoft game "gun" mods, balanced or not beyond the aesthetics. the flat out SMACK of such power is amusing as all heck.

[@vitalekho]

i dont wanna bitch about it, but technically manus catalyst is better for this. they both increase all sorcery power, halve the spell castings, but manus has a not mentioned secret effect where it boosts dark sorceriess. great video tho lmao this shit is insane

[@Chrisbun1]

"Yes."

[@urielsan2356]

four kings being the four kings as always... tanky bois

no dude of course you can't beat the game with its most overpowered weapon wtf???

[@killimo7990]

DS1

[@highstoner4207]

Cast before invasion and the spell is invisible to the person being invaded and won’t know what killed them 😊

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

Pursuers did that, I remember the amount of times it happened to me in oolacile oml

[@hikarimemeirooficial]

Soft caping STR and DEX would also help with extra damage and maybe Manus Catalyst?

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

I did test it with 40 strength with some off camera mining, the difference was so small with ng 7 that the tcc really did just perform better

[@skycrafter2042]

​@sariuswasstolenalready what about dex it increases cast speed

[@Kaerbanogue]

Why not using the Manus Catalyst for the B Strengh scaling for Dark Bead physical damages ?

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

It honestly didn't make too much of a difference, I tested Manus catalyst with 40 strength and in ng 7 it barely did as well as tcc :(
