"Master Chief, do you mind telling me what you're doing in Anor Londo?"
"Sir, it is always Darkest before the Soul™, and EVERY Soul™ has its Dark™"
Here's the download for the mod I used in this video with the cool Halo weapons and Amogus, also go send InfernoPlus some love. One of the best creators out there.

[@SnakebitSTI]

Plasma Pistol + Pistol remains a decent build. That said, I'm still upset the Pistol got nerfed into oblivion, even though it clearly needed it. Ornstein and Smough going down to a single well placed shot each was beyond ridiculous. But it was just so much fun to use!

[@brutusmagnuson315]

Definitely a viable build. I prefer a BFG9000 build though. If you don’t like the vulnerability of the chargeup animation, you can always use to Soul of Qualaag to ascend it to the Unmakyr, which has faster attack animations. Farming argent ammo in the demon ruins is a pain in the ass, though.

[@R2121]

I think we all remember the Flipping Havel + Needler builds from 1.04. Why did they think it was a good idea to make the Needler stunlock?

[@gamerz1172]

For the record, the reason why the demon ruins and genral bed of chaos area is so bad is because it was the lowest in the dark souls development priorities, They got rushed and had to make due with what they had for those ruins since they were the last unfinished area and it does show

[@keeganwullaert4996]

bed of chaos unironically makes demon ruins feel not that bad. knowing what your about to have to deal with i dont even dislike demon ruins

[@IrvineTheHunter]

So "funny" note about Nito, you kinda F yourself by wearing the sunlight maggot in his boss room. Nito's boss room is pre-lit, [unlike the rest of the tomb] and bringing in any light source causes him to spam the grave lords sword dance [the scream/sword attack].

[@lordpotoo1375]

Can't you avoid that attack by just moving forward?

[@mauser98kar]

Could anyone imagine even a year ago a title such as this? Praise InfernoPlus! P.S. Sunlight Maggot or light spell from Dusk makes Nito extra-aggressive with his ranged attacks. He practically spams them instead of lazily throwing them from time to time, making him much harder than he usually is.

[@seismicwrath]

I've been eagerly awaiting your dark souls video. I'm also really excited for your future videos like the new frost punk and the challenges that could be tried in it. And anything else you enjoy man, that's all that matters at the end of the day!

[@cyberdiver7076]

It really amazes me how good the shooting mechanics feel ( or looks) in DS1. It genuinely feels like it belongs in the base game if the weapons are re-named into more lore-friendly names.

[@syrelian]

InfernoPlus actually had to recode the entire aiming camera to fucking work because A: The bow cam is trash, and B: Shit like the Rocket Launcher is too large for the vanilla camera positioning to work

[@dingusispingus5987]

There are a couple things you couldn’t possibly know on a blind playthrough. Locking on is worse for a few places. Having no armor is sometimes helpful because fast roll. And finally, 4 kings do less damage by the hilt so you’re better off just walking up to them in a normal playthrough. Probably a couple others you can figure out on your own.

[@Kurai_69420]

The hornet ring doesn't buff headshots. That being said, it would be a cool update for the mod.

[@togthecogdog]

i think this is funny cause the plasma pistol is one of the best guns for PvE in the mod, good video regardless

[@MultiVerres]

On a scale of 1-GoFuckYourself, I'd give Bonewheels a solid Existential Dread

[@PXander]

I don’t even need to watch this video! I’ve been practicing this as a speed run ever since the mod came out! Super fun run lmao. I will mention the special attack that all the covenant guns get; the replacement jump attack input being a plasma grenade is OP as hell. Stickies do double damage technically in some weird glitchy way if their remaining HP is double your grenade damage or lower, the explosion also cancels their animation, super great speed run starts with the plasma pistol.

[@hubhikarilives]

You can cheese the Sus Squad in this mod with the Squirrel ring and jumping onto the doorway arch in their arena. They can’t hit you up there unless they teleport from falling off but if you keep pressuring them with your gun they most likely won’t.

[@shinysnivy6604]

If it makes you feel better Davey, nothing in the series is as bad as bed of chaos. If you decide to play the rest of the series you have already seen the worst. Even the ds 2 co op areas aren't as bad as it, those atleast have some neat rewards and one really good boss fight to them.
