Dark Souls 2 SotFS Glitchless Speedrun in

[@TheDarknessStirs]

To be honest, those little slip-ups made the run feel more relatable and like it was done by a human

Really glad you just uploaded this, I am going to start trying my hand at speed running this game and I think this is the run I wanna try, glad to have the video to help plan

Thx bro, this run really helped me

[@def2020]

Thanks, i wouldn't make it without your video (im getting the platinum and thought all i had to do was parrywalk but oh boi, doing it everytime you die to a boss or enemy is a nightmare. Thankfully in ng++ i just have to once or twice

[@TheSizzleDash]

Souls speedruns are extremely difficult, requires balancing of levels, skill, and speed. If you do not level you will have trouble on bosses, but you must be quick. Hard to explain how I view it. Nice work.

[@gypsyassassin2004]

except for one thing ... there exists a SL1 SPEEDRUN. Speedrunners are just CRAZY GOOD at what they do.

[@UnRandomSinImportancia]

It's crazy how you managed to make it into 1:21 and this isn't even optimized. Nice

[@NautilusEXP]

A powerful run, I want to try it myself for the first time. The only question is why did you start using "Key to the Embedded" instead of a rapier?

[@michaelfratila9]

Probably for its swinging motion. If you look at the bosses he faces a rapier's thrust would've been more difficult. Plus isn't it longer?

[@Camaruos]

Because the Key got 140 counter hit, so it hit like a truck when you swing it during enemy moves

[@gelomino2627]

Rapier is the same tho ​@@Camaruos

[@ryanalvarado8969]

FYI a lot easier way to judge the first boss is run to his right on his fifth step and he’ll fall right off every time

[@TristanVaughn-sy4zq]

7th.

Dude, that was awesome.

[@MiyazakiSama19]

Glad you liked it!

[@EpicurusWasRight]

It’s insane how many rng elements can ruin a run in this game compared to the other dark souls games

[@MiyazakiSama19]

This run was not that good honestly I had another run that it 1.11 and it's also not clean a good time will be sub 1.10 even sub 1.05 sub 1 hour is really good Also I think ds2 any% Glitchless is not that bad if we are talking about RNG I don't know I think ds3 is much worse

[@ryangentry4892]

With the controls being so clunky I feel like it's damn near impossible to get a perfect speedrun of this game.

[@suigetsuhozuki6092]

path with the least bosses: 3x rotten twin dragonriders looking glass knight semon of dong velstadt guardian dragon throne duo nashandra 1x ascetic as starting gift 1x ascetic at cromwell the pardoner 1x ascetic after ruin sentinels I assume you killed pursuer for ring of blades so your run is faster?

[@MiyazakiSama19]

I killed pursuer not only for the Ring but also to get to the last Bastille for the bonfire ascetic after ruin sentinels

[@suigetsuhozuki6092]

@@MiyazakiSama19 Makes sense, your planning is quite nice, doing all 4 great ones would take much longer, I reckon you already tried that strat😅

[@simoxx4302]

How did you open the shrine of Winter without Killing freya?? I die the Same like you but i cant open The shrine

[@MiyazakiSama19]

You need to get 1 Million souls to enter the shrine or kill all 4 lords So maybe you killed Rotten 4 times but you forgot to wear the set and souls Ring to get more souls

[@simoxx4302]

@@MiyazakiSama19 thank you 🙏

[@slammord6093]

I have a doubt, if we kill the rotten one 4 times, don't we have to kill the other heirs of the great soul?

[@spectrum2436]

i killed the rotten 4 times and it didnt work for me, (seek migthier souls)

[@MiyazakiSama19]

No you don't have the other 3 great souls if you gather 1 million souls and to do that you need to kill rotten 4 times but you have to wear the tsldora clothes to get 25% more souls and also the ring to get more souls

[@MiyazakiSama19]

​@@spectrum2436 you need the tsldora outfits that you get at the start from killing the merchant in majula to get 25 % more souls and the covetous serpent ring you get if you buy 10k from the merchant girl so you need the ring and the outfit to buff the souls you get because you need 1 million souls to get past the door to drangelic

Wouldn't it be a little faster to infuse the Rapier with Dark? Edit: Nevermind, i just remembered that you can't use pine resins on infused weapons

[@MiyazakiSama19]

Yes you should use dark blade spell with infused weapons and it's not in the way so it's slow we do that in all bosses Also you don't need more damage because in any% you don't fight many bosses and bosses are weak so normal rapier is ok

[@handydan6273]

Got most of the first half to a T but ended up ruining it by dying to rotten like 5 times

[@MiyazakiSama19]

For Rotten you need practice also level up adp to make him even easier

[@handydan6273]

@@MiyazakiSama19 yup you're right! After seeing this I did a few more runs. Finally to the point of doing a no hit run on half the bosses. Hate that Adp raises frame rate

[@matthewtalks2970]

Well done. Was there a part of the run where you suprised yourself? Like, damn that went too smooth unexpectedly.

[@MiyazakiSama19]

This run wasn't that good, I don't know how the algorithm pushed it real hard and he keeps pushing it 🤣 I have another run 1:11 much better than this run 1:19 but still a good run will be sub 1:10 A very good run will be sub 1:05 & Sub 1 hour will be really really good in SotFS because wr I think is 52 and wr run is absurd because Olzku is really really really good he is a machine honestly

[@matthewtalks2970]

@@MiyazakiSama19 I think because although you say it’s not that good it’s from your perspective. For someone like me who needed like 30 hours to complete the game it’s insanely impressive. And many more agree I think

[@MiyazakiSama19]

@@matthewtalks2970 Indeed , to finish dark Souls 2 in less than 1 hour 20 min is still impressive for someone who doesn't know Speedrunnig Because to finish the game in 30 hours you are not Speedrunning the game you are exploring and taking your time Unlike Speedruns you know what to do , how to fight bosses , how to get OP early ...

[@MMCV963]

How long do you rekon an all boss glitchlees speedrun would take, only asking as i cant seem to find any video for it.

Between 3 and 4 hours for SotFS sub 3 is good sub 2.30 is very good

This strat works on NG you need 1 million souls but on NG+ and beyond I think you need 3 million souls or even more so this strat doesn't work in ng+ Also for NG you need to wear the Ring and the sude set to get more souls because even killing 4 rotten doesn't give you 1 million souls

Hi! rookie question: why did you go to the giant's memory instead of go straight to the final boss fight after you got the king's ring?

[@MiyazakiSama19]

You need to beat giant lord for the final boss to spawn

[@pajeetsingh]

Haven't played DS II fully; how are and why did you beat Rotten twice?

[@MiyazakiSama19]

Not twice 4 times because you want to get 1 million souls memory so you can open the gate to drangelic castle so you basically skip all the other 3 great souls Freja , Old Iron King & the last Sinner Is faster and easier to kill the Rotten 4 times

[@goliath7610]

What's the point of buying the mace? you don't use it for the entire run.

[@MiyazakiSama19]

You use it to kill a lizard to get the titanite shank to get +10 Rapier

Ok sorry for the dumb question but why didn’t he have to fight aldia scholar of the first sin? I thought that’s what happens after you kill Nashandra.

Aldia is a secret boss the final boss is nashandra meaning you can end the game you don't need to fight aldia but if you are doing all bosses Then abiouvsly the final boss is aldia before the credits
