Dark Souls - Any% Speedrun - 20:23 (World Record)

[@QueueKyoo]

Pinning these FAQ's so I dont have to answer them a ton: Q: why not just use Sens gate skip? Why kill quelaag and gargs? A: You need to visit firelink altar in some capacity in order to do the wrong warp into the kiln. The only 2 ways to do that are to ring both bells and wake up frampt, or to talk to kaathe after killing 4 kings and sif. If you have a good damage source early on, its just faster to kill quelaag and gargs early just to avoid backtracking and extra bonfire activations/resting/warps. This route is over a minute faster than the previous dragon tooth route that used sens gate skip. Routing wins Q: Is this the Remaster or the original release? A: This is the original release. "Dark Souls" on Speedrun.com is the original release's leardboard for this run, and remaster has a separate leaderboard. This is due to both games having a substantial amount of differences like glitches being patched or introduced in the remaster, the in game timer working differently, and the fact they're 2 separate games with some other differences that make them not 1:1 for leaderboards or routing purposes.

As someone who's never played Dark Souls, I don't understand why people say it's so hard. This guy shows that it's really easy

[@QueueKyoo]

You're right

[@onurdogan3378]

It's not very hard. People always come up with something to make it harder eg. No-Hit, speedruns, SL1, etc.

[@synik4583]

I can promise you it’s hard this guy is using 20+ different glitches at once on bosses it doesn’t really show the difficulty of the game he’s very good tho

That Taurus Demon fight was hilarious. I love the Souls games but I don’t know anything about the speedrunning strategies. I’m so amused that for some reason the brightness settings were opened up for a moment there. What even is that 😂

[@ryandixon8202]

that was the second part of a glitch he setup with the merchant, he used a stored quantity value to underflow his twinkling titanite thus giving him 68 for upgrading black knight greatsword ( I could be entirely wrong )

[@noeltamere]

that is a very common glitch that is normally used to dupe souls in order to gain infinite levels, in this case they are using the dupe glitch to get some twinkling titanite to upgrade their weapon

[@Kaibat1205]

Duplication glitch

The accuracy of the set up required for the seamwalking to quelaag is so crazy. Actually looks slightly different than what I had seen, I thought it only worked from one specific angle/direction. But it seems as long as you're looking at the general blobs toward the doorway and fully against the wall it works. The more you know!
