Dark Souls All Bosses Speedrun in

[@catalystz]

Before you ask, and I know you want to, playing in Japanese does not directly save time for the run. However, it does reduce the time it takes to return back to the game after a Save & Quit, making it more efficient in real time. Enjoy the run! ✌

[@Agusplayer2002]

I had that exact question, good luck on your future runs and projects, be safe Cata

[@lorenzog453]

Thanks for this pearl. Congrats now and also for your future WRs. Best Cata

[@aalex2606]

Thanx for the fun !

[@OG_Mikey_B]

why not write darks souls remastered in the title?

[@DementedSheepCrap]

What exactly happens with Japanese dialog to make it faster to quit and load back?

[@ionicsgamer1481]

No way... 854 runs to save a second😱 Duuuude, it is so hard even to imagine. Respect, just have no other words

[@ethanallred2543]

I randomly had this recommended to me because I watch a lot of soulsborne content (speedruns, challenge runs, playthroughs, etc.) but I can say that KZbin hasn’t made such a good recommendation to me in a good while. This was very entertaining and exactly the type of run I would speedrun, so here is a comment to boost your karma in the KZbin algorithm.

[@Julius_Engels-Greer_the_Third]

Damn, wasn't expecting reasonable discourse on society when I searched for a DS speedrun.

[@SylvesterAshcroft88]

How have you even beat this speedrun again, you absolute madlad, what a legend! Keep up the great content, & good luck with your degree, we don't mind waiting if it means you succeed!

Thank you Catalystz for the quality content, I really love the speedruns on the first Dark Souls. Thanks again for being there.

Man I loved watching this run because what you were talking about had me engaged in the video.

Not gonna lie, the best part is poor Pinwheel not having its own place in the split :__)

[@violetblossom7]

Now I usually don’t watch speed runs, but yours is so well executed I had to subscribe 💜 Love your dedication!

[@zabm141]

great run cata! my cat momo with whom I watched it was also enticed. i also wanted to say i appreciate your kind mannerisms and how you use your platform pretty responsibly, making sense when talking politics, not relying on edgy humor, which makes many other gaming communities either childish or outright toxic. so thanks! and congrats on the new WR :)

[@afroize]

Came to watch the WR, stayed to listen to the convo with chat lol

[@johnkramer2144]

The fact that Summoning Salt has not done a video on the Dark Souls speed running community is a crime. I love this community for its tenacity and ingenuity.

[@monster2slayer]

2:46 "... There are also a lot of no hit runners that are bad at the game" You might want to recalibrate your judgement when you call someone bad that manages to beat an entire soulsborne game without being hit. Using the word "bad" is just outright ridiculous

[@DieBlaueGefahrLP]

Really impressive run. Was a lot of fun to watch. Thank your for the content and keep it up :)

i just realized, in one of the boss fights the boss had no hp left but survived anyway, maybe u could've saved few secs by going for 99 magik?

[@catalystz]

Yeah, Centipede Demon is one hit away from death. Unfortunately, I have no way of levelling 99 INT without wasting time, so it is not worth it.

[@ИванВолков-в2д]

Amazing man)) congratulations!!!

[@FruitKocktail]

Honestly, thing with TV is, not only is it more expensive than streaming services, but it also has super long ads and even then you can't watch what you want when you want, you have to wait for the TV people to decide when you can watch it. And like, I remember seeing ads for Ondemand TV. You had to pay extra to watch when you wantedm

[@catalystz]

Yep! I think the only appeal of TV is that you can have it on in the background and basically have unlimited content.

[@pappendirk7021]

congrats for the WR and bachelor :)

[@xBINARYGODx]

Streaming stuff (netflix OR twitch) is still TV, just because it's not broadcast traditionally and does not necessarily have the typical scripted content does not change you watching a screen for hours on end (keep in mind most people who watch youtube or twitch are not chatting or posting comments otherwise, so its not even interactive for most people).

[@WombleHelmet]

Super nice run, I really enjoy your content! But Please tell me your dog wasn’t in the weather on a leash/tied off to something?

Nah, he has his own part of the garden which is fenced off, but he is free to roam it. Can hide in a shed as well!

[@maximkonechno8742]

i got 11 hours on my third run but this dude is just crazy. Missing fashion is not respected though.

[@HiyaCoffee]

Zero stats is personality, cancer to watch it. Better speedrunners to watch that already beat this, and the runners sound alive. 😂

[@armando12322]

Just beat the base game in like 8 hours and a half, which felt incredibly fast. Just amazing you did base and dlc in 1/8 of that time 😂. Still good though, cleared all the lord souls in like 1 hour (got really good rng in all of them, specially Nito and 4 kings), in another 10 minutes killed gwyn.

28:49 bruh 40-60 years who you mean? At the very least Schöpenhauer wrote of this thing in early 1800's

[@lonelyfiretruck2508]

Dope run but i think saying no hit runs are easier than speedruns is a bit weird. Getting hit not once at all is super impressive and once you do that just do speedrunning of no hit runs. Just weird how hard you diss it and dismiss when it is equally as hard if not harder

[@barry1902]

I would guess that pulling off multiple glitches first time in a one hour run would be harder than a no hit run through because in the latter you don't have time pressure and can play it safer. There's a lot of strats to ensure you don't get hit by mobs and most bosses should be easy enough with a good build.

[@DemoniteBL]

About what you said at the beginning: I find it so dumb how people are amazed by arbitrary runs that are claimed to be "world's first". Like, idk, the first ever run to beat every boss with a magic infused large club +3. Yeah, so special, congrats, everyone cares about your amazing category that you totally didn't make up on the spot. lol I mean idk what people do in DS runs, but it's been bothering me for other games.

[@Arbalesto7]

I MISSED THIS SO MUCH

[@JackVogel2024]

The game world premise of speedruns and lvl1 challenges are so funny to me. Some dude who decided enough is enough and had it with this bs, ripping the soul out of gods in his underwear. Hearing the feet flapping about as he runs from victim to victim. Tonight the world will burn with fire, as one man run amok. Makes me laugh thinking about

[@КонстантинВнуков]

I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS: 1. Why you make Dukes Archives yellow fog skip and less 20 seconds, if you just can kill Four Kings earlier and put lordvessel ? 2. Why you kill Kalameet in this way if it long, and need GMS ?

[@Barendol]

I suppose: 1. time save from 1 king fight with Dark Bead from DLC ...and also from Kalameet with GMS 2. Getting Gough's help is even longer.

[@restartalife6770]

this dude put down no hit runners like completing a no hit run isn't one of the biggest achievements you can have to your name in dark souls

[@daniellassander]

On the way down the stairs to the smith, is it possible to jump over the railing and save a second or two, because the next thing is a bonfire anyway, so the damage doesnt matter?

There is a scuffed jump you can attempt, but not from the very top. It saves less than a second and is fairly precise.

This is insane, if you see this comment, can you answer these? How many times roughly have you completed this game? What is your favourite souls game? Great video

Way too many times by now (thousands). DS1 would be my favorite Souls but I think Elden Ring may have etched ahead by now, at least casually.

Wait, bachelor's thesis? Speedrunning isn't your full-time job? I always assumed that if someone is able to obtain world record on a competitive leaderboard, that would qualify them as a "professional" speedrunner. How the hell do you have time for college as well?
