"I dont die to Bosses, I die to stupid jumps." felt that brother.

[@oriolmc4074]

He dies to the ultimate dark souls boss, the gravity

[@judgment5090]

I will admit that the bosses are hard, but i have far more trouble with not dying on ledges then not dying on bosses.

[@GreyNya]

This runner is nuts. I am legitimate amazed how person can talk non-stop, yet remain so focused. Great content and entetainment, keep it up.

[@alejandroandrade9890]

And not in his mother tongue! Amazing runner

[@x-ra3849]

Ever heard that phrase "They're so good at what they do, they can do it in their sleep."?

[@im_Sarma]

well it's all muscle memory at this point. not too much concentration needed. except for the hard stuff of course.

[@BeeMusic2024]

Right I'm truly impressed. That doesn't happen often

[@captaingigglez1605]

This is honestly one of the best DS runs I've watched. Super clean and well commentated.

[@Shezation]

One of the best runners I’ve seen at GDQ, talks so well and coherently whilst playing at such skilled pace, hope he’s back for another game in the future.

[@fortherng3847]

...though he only runs DS.

[@BeeMusic2024]

I could see companies hiring him just to play their games and do commentary. I'd pay to watch that

[@crustyandcruel]

@@BeeMusic2024 Are you ignoring the fact that he only runs DS?

[@NavidIsANoob]

He's a streamer as well.

[@unreal_taxi]

One of the best saves from accidental cursing I have ever seen.

[@therealfauxstradamus1135]

This dude was the kind of personality I've been wanting to see in a speedrunner.

[@okk2094]

He's awesome, also check out HeyZeusHeresToast. He has a great all bosses bloodborn gdq run ;)

[@thesuntitan]

I've never seen anyone at GDQ explain things so fast while playing so frantically. This is peak Dark Souls!

[@dicksonZero]

this is the dark souls of speedrunning, as one of the people said it

[@62cky4powerthirst]

"Anor Londo Fraud Department" LOL

[@Igbarash]

this guy knows how to do the commentary. Nicely done man.

[@angermanager2116]

All Bosses to themselves: "why do *I* hear boss music?"

[@Disasterclese]

I actually laughed out loud at this, well done.

[@jayjay_Agamer]

What is this fog in my way? 😂

[@charlieroberts3553]

This.

[@whyisblue923taken]

"But we ain't using no goddamn miracles!"

[@harlequinfan]

This guy is awesome, I hope to see him again!

[@PhillyCadderly]

12:01 "If there is one thing to learn from Iron Golem, it's to never skip leg day." Dude is hilarious.

[@SondreGrneng]

As the run progresses I just keep liking this guy more and more.

[@marky0140]

Favourite run I've had the chance to see thus far! Highly entertaining.

[@arturolimonez7470]

How can someone be so nice and likeable? Great run my dude

[@UrielVTT]

catalystz was great to listen to and I learned some great things about a game I keep thinking, year after year, that I've already learned everything about. awesome run. looking forward to that 100% run PB.

[@flakeboi]

Most charismatic runner I've seen thus far. Really entertaining speedrun

[@SolarbearChiptune]

this catalystz dude is such a fun runner to listen to

[@GrautonGaming]

I really like how Catalystz ist casually explaining the lore while absolutely shredding the game to pieces^^

[@colevanhoogenstyn9322]

Hands down the most entertaining commentary I have ever listened to during a speed run. This dude rules.

[@xBlueEclipse]

This guy was awesome, I hope they have him back next year!

[@TtikNoh]

This was the first time i saw someone marking priscilla with an arrow. I guess you really do learn new things every time you play dark souls.

[@JeanCzarny]

Even after hundreds of hours played and lots of speed runs watched, I have still learned new things. Great run, great runner.

[@vim_programar]

The dude is a glitchpedia

[@semiprofissionalsemitreina3168]

the man can joke, the man can explain, the man can play. I like the man, the man is cool.

[@DrLazyCreature]

31:30 epic save :D

[@anarchy1032]

Best run in the marathon.

[@Grohlvana]

Amazing run, and amazing glitch exhibition. Well done!

[@Eliminaattori]

I never get enough of Dark Souls speedruns. That was very entertaining commentary, many thanks!

[@Rakschas666]

Best and most entertaining run I've seen this year. Saw it live on twitch and was just glued to the screen for the entirety of it. Please reinvite this man!

[@capothefool]

After 1 year, I still come to this run at least once a week. So entertaining

[@Whyolent]

This guy talks so fast and deliberately while doing all of this, all while not having English as his native language. Beast.

[@Th3Gam3FTW]

This was hella fun. Catalystz is really awesome! Amazing run as well great job.

[@adioo890]

Loved every bit of this, AGDQ forever!

[@seizan88]

Never knew Dark Souls is such a gentle game. Catalystz is hilarious :'D awesome run!

[@prismaticc_abyss]

Been watching him for ssome months now, so proud of him, that he finally god featured in GDQ. He holds the WR for dark souls in 3 different categories

[@chrisjarvis4097]

Dark Souls 3 is the game that convinced me to not just give up on the series. Probably my favorite one

[@Ejtan]

Man, this run was amazing. Wonderful commentary!

[@FandomEZ]

Super happy to have some represent Czechs on sgdq

[@blackdome98]

This might have been the best and most entertaining speed run I've ever seen

[@WeareSouledOut]

[@christianstachl]

Great run and amazing commentary at the same time. I was impressed with the drop to Firesage, never seen this one before.

[@Cdaddyhudsoc]

What a great run I really want to see him again

[@Memetastic]

[@Fuzzymanboob]

[@saintfourtyseven6471]

Casual

[@stompingpeak2043]

Really easily lmao

[@michaeldagnon]

​@Forseen skits /vlogs same

[@santiagosenoran1217]

This guy is so entertaining that I actually watched this twice

[@blarpie]

he really fucking got the duke skip 3 times in a row, that's pretty damn impressive

[@jjdn43]

What took me 70 hours to get halfway through he did in 1 and a half hours... Love you bro. You doing god's work

[@jameswilcox511]

This run is even more impressive a year after I first saw it now that I actually understand more of the game. Probably my favorite GDQ run.

[@knethen]

the commentary is soo good! very impressed

[@GtaRockt]

Most entertaining run I’ve ever seen. Damn.

[@josharpe]

This was a great stream

[@marlucresencia1744]

Catalystz is officially my favorite runner ever

[@username19237]

Absolute legend

[@michalsimon9371]

Awesome run Cata!

[@farfromirrational948]

I know we've all had this moment watching speedruns, but i just realized he is 5 minutes into his playthrough......and it took me roughly 5 hours to get to where he is my first playthrough...... I mean i did alot more exploring and all but still....nuts Edit: now 3 minutes more and i was probably at 15 hours of in game time lmao

[@wiganagames]

Incredible entertainer, great way to talk and keep people attention. Amazing run, keep it going!

[@dohoansoan4405]

awesome runner!

[@rauros5326]

It never ceases to amaze me just how runners figure this stuff out. Awesome work by catalystz!

[@AnonymousBystander86]

@23:21 is the coolest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. I would have screamed unceasingly if I were in the crowd

[@SaintDeezy]

This guy is funny as hell. Great runner too.

[@TheIlluminatiREAL]

Great run

[@blubberdust]

Definitely the player with the most "stage presence" at GDQ
