[@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.

[@breakies]

"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.

[@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.

[@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

[@harlequinfan]

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

[@YourFoolishPride]

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 ;)

[@marky0140]

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

[@Igbarash]

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

[@unreal_taxi]

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

[@SondreGrneng]

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

[@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.

[@arturolimonez7470]

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

[@62cky4powerthirst]

"Anor Londo Fraud Department" LOL

[@colevanhoogenstyn9322]

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

[@JeanCzarny]

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

[@PhillyCadderly]

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

[@xBlueEclipse]

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

[@whyisblue923taken]

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

[@flakeboi]

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

[@GrautonGaming]

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

[@SolarbearChiptune]

this catalystz dude is such a fun runner to listen to

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@adioo890]

Loved every bit of this, AGDQ forever!

[@anarchy1032]

Best run in the marathon.

[@capothefool]

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

[@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

[@Grohlvana]

Amazing run, and amazing glitch exhibition. Well done!

[@semiprofissionalsemitreina3168]

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

[@Th3Gam3FTW]

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

[@blackdome98]

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

[@vim_programar]

The dude is a glitchpedia

[@raulito651]

What a great runner! Skilled, collected and very informative. Bravo!

[@xzero001]

wow .. just wow catalystz is making the most amazing jumps like it's nothing while speaking and explaining everything.. truly incredible!

[@seizan88]

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

[@DrLazyCreature]

31:30 epic save :D

[@WeareSouledOut]

this guy is the real deal! great playing and commentary

[@nemtudom5074]

His commentary was so energetic, i love it!

[@Ejtan]

Man, this run was amazing. Wonderful commentary!

[@FandomEZ]

Super happy to have some represent Czechs on sgdq

[@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

[@christianstachl]

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

[@EmilySnow0]

20:40 that intercommantery shout out to my man HeyZeusHeresToast about the ladders in Bloodbourne :P

[@ravenshotred]

Love me some DS runs!

[@HeyBehindYouu]

Awesome runner with awesome commentary!

[@blarpie]

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

[@jimbo_13]

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.

[@chrisjarvis4097]

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

[@ao1778]

Tf? Its the _last_ game of the series.

[@yowhazgood4505]

had to rewind artorias fight. i looked at my phone for a couple seconds and missed it..

[@dicksonZero]

1:04:21 you re welcome

[@Cdaddyhudsoc]

What a great run I really want to see him again

[@TheNammoth]

Great run and great steamer! Want to see more of him

[@rafaellago172]

That was hands down the most entertaining DS run I've ever watched. Dude is not only a pro runner but has tons of charisma as well. Awesome!

[@marlucresencia1744]

so much information damn +99 to sir catalystz

[@Whyolent]

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

[@rikpiano3472]

this run was very entertaining. congratulations.

[@wiganagames]

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

[@MSKS6]

Good run - better runner. Loved watching it, hope catalystz returns!

[@chrisdelaney8417]

This guy is great so entertaining to watch his commentary is amazing

[@GtaRockt]

Most entertaining run I’ve ever seen. Damn.

[@josharpe]

This was a great stream

[@sreeshnelp]

He has such an easy air about him, especially while doing some really tough skips and playing at a really fast pace. Kudos to the runner!

[@santiagosenoran1217]

This guy is so entertaining that I actually watched this twice

[@TheArchivistArchive]

Fantastic run, the runner is great and very charismatic, glad you managed to get on the 3rd time.

[@knethen]

the commentary is soo good! very impressed

[@edgarm8232]

This guy is hilarious! Hope to see him again!

[@Leloucheee]

I never played this game but it was very entertaining to watch you and listen to your explainings :)

[@silentsun9392]

That's definitely one of the most entertaining runs I've ever seen on GDQ, amazing runner!

[@Exit_343]

That firesage glitch.....wow...

[@farfromirrational]

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

[@amanofculture4892]

17:12 that's the only glitch in the whole game I can do. Yeah, I'm something of a speedrunner myself.

[@TakeasRealm]

same along with the bone-dupe / souls-dupe :D

[@saadmanomar7754]

It's not even a glitch. It's an intended mechanic XD

[@Memetastic]

wait you can beat the game?

[@Fuzzymanboob]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😐

[@obscure.reference]

it’s a glitch

[@saintfourtyseven6471]

Casual

[@stompingpeak2043]

Really easily lmao

[@michaeldagnon]

​@Forseen skits /vlogs same

[@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

[@dedmete]

love this guy. super entertaining, really funny, super knowledgeable.

[@AmpleAndrew]

Best runner in my opinion

[@GreatKingOfLipnice]

Truly impressive. Really good run and very entertaining runner. And represents my country...the very best. I have seen many DS runs, but this one ranks among the most fun.

[@SchwartzBOSS]

Such a fun run with great commentary

[@wolvie90]

I do enjoy watching speedruns from time to time but I rarely find myself following a certain runner. Catalystz is one of the few I do follow, dude's cool.

[@trithos7308]

I like this guy! He does a great job explaining what and why he does things and he is funny!

[@pezyg]

Amazing runner and commentary!

[@fedgetfurious]

There is just something endearing about the way he says gargoyles that I loved it each time he mentioned them

[@themightymcb7310]

This dude is up there with Wirtual (Trackmania) and tomatoanus (Fallout) as some of the most charismatic speedrunners right now. All three of them killed it at gdq in their respective games

[@jjvictor66]

Catalystz is officially my favorite runner ever

[@DonBorrok]

Awesome run catalystz thanks for the entertainment~ i enjoyed the hell out of it :D

[@SaintDeezy]

This guy is funny as hell. Great runner too.

[@wagbs]

"and maybe i'll see you next year...who knows..." SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sad and heartbreaking to hear that being in 2021

[@blubberdust]

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

[@Derrick_H]

Did you see the Pokemon crystal run from this year by Keizeron

[@aaaz319]

Hands down, best ds1 runner I've ever seen

[@Psymon1471]

The runner is a great talker. Funny and informative

[@MrRoisu]

Such an entertaining and informative run, very fun all round. Also, I said it before and I'll say it again: Having Covertmuffin on host duties is a genius idea, dude's the perfect hype man

[@jameslafleur6842]

Amazing run and LOVED the glitch exhibition. Long time souls player and I've never seen some of these haha

[@Clameraman576]

This run is amazing

[@remghoost]

1:26:47 Alright, that's one I haven't seen before.

[@mgg4142]

Theres 2 more versions of it . Edit: actually 3.

[@Loppy2345]

This guy is Mr. Dark Souls himself!

[@SondreGrneng]

I was sitting there, watching Mitch's GPW 2 run. they start talking about Dark souls at the Sen's fortress level, I remember this run, open it up. they start referencing Distortion's DS2 run and I'm like, gotta rewatch that too I suppose.

[@alit9835]

Loved watching this live, Catalystz, is very entertaining and gave us such a fun run to watch

[@RaniMarzouki]

Best run @ AGDQ2019. Very cool runner !

[@nikishh1]

love this guy! how can you talk and speedrun like this?!
