I forgor to put a decimal at 10:33 It should say 28.83 repeating percent. Whoops. At 0:27 I also put "be" instead of "beat", LOL. I have massive brain.

What about the death cam glitch where you can go to sens fortress without ringing any bells

[@04SlhS]

You forgot about rtsr and that if you kill silver knight archer with bk halberd you can save couple seconds instead of waiting for him and reloading so he falls off

awesome video, thanks for explaining as you go :D

[@Omega-pd5oj]

Really entertaining video, keep it up

[@stormtrooperjon9212]

I'm not a speedrunner but wow I didn't know that 99 Humanity meant about a 20% drop chance on that knight for the Black Knight Halberd. Usually just playing a "casual" playthrough (DS isn't casual though haha) and getting arguably the best weapon there at the start is awesome :D

[@minoan13]

Humanity makes it around a 1/3 chance, but the exact number formula is too complex. I think the default drop chance is 20%.

[@jorge4572]

I think it caps at 10 humanity, and you get 150 item discovery, 100 item discovery is the default, so 20%, 150 is 50% plus so 30% chance, CGSP is 150 item discovery too but it doesn't stack with SoA so you can get a 40% chance if you have 10 humanity and CGSR, obiously not optimal for the speedrun since u get CGSR in sen's fortress, but it's fun to expeculate

[@calvin8464]

At 1 humanity your item is 150 and at 10+ humanity it's 210. 1 humanity gives a 26.67% chance for Halberd drop and 10 humanity is 32.9%. This is proven using simulations in the in-game debug menu. The common belief that 200 discovery = twice the percentage is not true. You can't just double the percentage like that, since if something has a 60% chance it would become 120%. The game's formula is that is that they have the percentage (20%) as an A:B odds formula (1:4) odds, then multiply "odds for" by 150 (your discovery value) and "odds against" by 100. So it would be 150:400 odds or 27.27% Another way to write this would be (20x150)/((20x150)+(80x100)). The 27.27% is a bit higher than the true value as the chance of getting the black knight shield increases as well and you can only get either a shield or a halberd not both because they're in the same item lot in the itemlotparam file, so you have to account the shield's existence decreasing your chance with the formula (20*150)/((75*100)+(20*150)+(5*150))=.2667.

[@stormtrooperjon9212]

@@calvin8464 so in totaly even at +10 Humanity the most you'd ever have is about a 1/4 chance of it dropping? Still those odds aren't bad, but yeah does get frustrating restarting over and over just to get the BKH, which takes round-about 5 min

[@calvin8464]

@@stormtrooperjon9212 It's a 32.9% chance at 10+ which is 1/3

[@bojogaming9385]

Great run however im curious why you didnt do sens skip

[@minoan13]

I need Firelink Altar to wrong warp to the other side of the door. The serpent that takes me there won’t wake up until both are rung.

[@pateytothefirst]

can you do a tutorial on any% force quit run ? love your videos btw

[@minoan13]

I got other things planned. I feel like that run would be too similar to some of my recent ds1 videos, but in the future I would like to.

[@fernandosales8320]

I don't know a lot about speedrunning, but I've a question: Since glitches are allowed in this category, wouldn't it be possible to perform the Sen's Fortress gate skip instead of going after the bells? I feel like it'd be quicker, but if it wasn't performed there must be a reason for it that I'm not seeing.

[@minoan13]

Firelink Altar is needed to perform the Wrong Warp to the Kiln of the First Flame. However the sleepy serpent Frampt won't wake up until you ring both bells of awakening. Firelink Altar can be accessed another way, but it is slower. Ringing the bells is not just to gain access to Sen's Fortress, it is just a nice coincidence. I sort of explained it, but this video sucks.

[@fernandosales8320]

@@minoan13 Nah, the video is good. But I see, since I never did any run with glitches (or any speedrun, for that matter) I never really thought about what would trigger Frampt to appear - guess I just assumed that getting the Lordvessel would bring him up. But I get it now, thanks for the reply.

[@Xaero13]

​@@minoan13It's faster to do both bells than to do 4k? How much time is saved by fighting 2 bosses compared to NLR?

[@littlevivigaming4822]

It was smart of FromSoft not to make the game's Wrong Warp function able to send you anywhere, otherwise you'd get completed any% runs in under 10 minutes, like what can be done with SMB3

[@Ramhams1337]

i don't really do speedruns. but i have a question i know there is a way to skip both bells and just walk into sens fortress. wouldn't that be faster than going all the way through blighttown and doing gargoyels?

[@minoan13]

Yes and no, sorry for the long explanation. Frampt only appears after ringing both bells. You could skip fighting Quelaag and Gargoyles by performing Sens Gate Skip and obtaining the Lord Vessel. You would then need to go to the New Londo Ruins and perform Seal Skip. This would mean you would have to fight the Four Kings without RTSR, so no two kings. RTSR would not be worth the time spent picking it up. RTSR pickup would also completely re-route the run taking up more time. Once the Four Kings are defeated you can have Kaathe warp you to the Firelink Altar. I have never timed the difference myself, but I assume top runners have. The Darkroot Basin Wrong Warp and Blighttown meme roll save time, but having to kill the Four Kings only loses time.

[@Ramhams1337]

@@minoan13 i see. isn't the wrong warp like a farely new thing in ds1 too or was it just not believed to be faster for a long time. casue i remember seeing speedruns of ds1 a while back. and back then it was all about sens gate skip

[@minoan13]

@@Ramhams1337 Wrong Warp is not new. A new method was discovered about 2 years ago that make wrong warping easier. Before you had to go to the DLC and get the Purple Coward's Crystal. Homeward Wrong Warp made being able to wrong warp a lot sooner and removed the DLC. With Remastered being able to soul dupe the required items for the wrong wrap can be picked up first thing in Firelink, DSR and PTDE are two different speed games. In the video desc Cata has really good video on the history of Wrong Warp and goes more in depth than I can.

[@Ramhams1337]

@@minoan13 i see, thank you for your input

[@zuhscare2748]

The dupe glitch at the start does't work for me it always give me to use 1

[@Reaper17th]

Couldn't this be done faster by performing sen skip and bypassing gargoyles and Quelaag? Or am I missing something that was necessary for the run?

[@minoan13]

I should have explained it better in the video. If I could go back in time this video would be way better. The answer: Ringing the bells does not only open up the gate to Sen's Fortress, it also awakens Frampt in Firelink Shrine. This is important to be able to access Firelink Altar to be able to perform the second Wrong Warp skipping the four lords.

[@pfefferbandit4066]

Thank you so much!! I just beat the game in 36min at my 3rd try. I just have a question for the soul dupe glitch. Everything works fine but in the end i can only choose use 1. i cant change the quantity to 99. i have to use the 999 arrow glitch. Was the 99 glitch patched or am i just too stupid.

@@minoan13 shit

[@d3BZify]

Sup dude can you do negative dupe without steam ?

[@minoan13]

Yes, you can perform negative dupes without the steam controller rebinds. It can be done on console, but console method is kinda cringe. If you are on PC, you need to hit left click on the arrow in a purchase menu and X/A on the controller at the same time. Left Click and E on just the keyboard might also work, but I could be wrong. This is called prompt swapping and in the videos case when you are buying longswords with a quantity selection you know you have done it correctly.

[@alexandermaxcanjuga3368]

Super orstien is easier than smough in his super form his attacks are more telegraphed

[@minoan13]

For speedrunning we fight Super Smough because of the bunny hops. Also Ornstein can be kill at the start of then fight while Smough takes a little bit to get to you. When you speedrun Dark Souls you see some memes.

[@reecenorwood8377]

Is your level the highest you need to be? There’s a much better dupe glitch that still works getting 999 of a soul instead of 99.

[@minoan13]

To dupe 999 you would need to store the quantity somehow. The only way this could be done in a run would be at Andre. This won't work because the dupe would have to be performed right there. Meaning leveling up to meet the stat requirements would also have to happen there. Resting at the Undead Parish bonfire would change the "Last Bonfire Rested." This would change the wrong warp to warp you to first foggate in the Burg instead of the New Londo Ruins elevator. The extra souls would lose you time as you would have to back track all the way to Blighttown instead of Wrong Warping. Hopefully that makes sense.
