"picking female is technically slower because of the deceleration animation but who cares lets start the run." girl youre not fooling anyone

[@Haru-spicy]

surprised you didn't run down to the catacombs instead and sleep in the gravelord coffin. dark and cozy, and you even get a skeleton friend to come tuck you in.

[@lordjzargo7940]

That's what I thought the speedeun was gonna be

[@aliceroberts5928]

Chosen unrested. It's the small things ya really appreciate

[@KayOScode]

Whenever I get hit in this game, I’m just going to tell myself it was to setup RTSR from now on

[@yorghzspear]

I really like the concept of chosen undead not wanting to break the curse, save the world or anything, he just wants some sleep!

[@blockwearingman]

i love how this run is about sleeping and you got a asmr voice too

[@Shmethan]

Truly the most calming DS challenge runner

[@Ravinex_NL]

@@Shmethan Squillakilla is a also a good one

[@c0m4g1bb]

Nasty

[@Dinilsu]

really appreciated how every little bit of the run is explained

[@glasslicker2829]

I’m pretty sure the reason why most speed runners pop their humanities at the fire link to New Londo ruins elevator is to slightly increase their luck chance for the attempt to get the black knight glaive…

[@Can-uj5pv]

The first one is actually a pretty big increase over not having any, if I recall.

[@OopsAllStupid]

Yes, the first humanity increases item discovery from 100 to 150. The second only takes you from 150 to 158

[@atavatav8141]

Black Knight Halberd has a 20% chance to drop at base 100 Discovery. Getting 1 Humanity boosts Discovery to 150 and increases the drop chance to 30% . Runners are waiting on the Elevator anyways, so it costs no time to increase the number of runs to continue past the Black Knight from 1/5th to 3/10th of runs started.

[@BrinkOfInfamy]

Me, after playing through this game no less than 15 times “Equip load affects your fall damage” 👁️👄👁️

[@minoan13]

I am always learning new things about Dark Souls, it is honestly crazy.

[@blissfuldj7627]

@@minoan13 i remember an old epicnamebro vid mentioning it

[@AbyssDark]

I learned this from dark souls 2

[@ENCHANTMEN_]

@@AbyssDark Fall damage works differently in DS2, in DS1/3 it's a percentage of your max health, and any fall that is survivable at 100% is survivable to any character at any equip load. Equip load changes how much of your health you lose, but the moment it reaches 20 units, it jumps to being an instant kill for any character.

[@miweneia]

Lol only 15 times

[@ChallengerAndyOfficial]

Shamefully, I skipped ahead. This made the experience incredible though because I was screaming at my computer when you went to O&S, passing perfectly good beds. But then I was popping off when it was all for nighttime.

[@minoan13]

Originally I was just going to go to the bed and rest. However about half way through trying to get the run, I remembered I could turn the lights off. There was no choice it had to be done.

[@ChallengerAndyOfficial]

@@minoan13 It's such an awesome detail, hilarious. Cheers!

[@trashman1605]

[@chibieris8659]

the mid-gargoyle fight weapon swap is not something Ive seen, pretty cool. amazing run and commentary as always~

[@brosty_Star]

man this video is underrated, you give every single detail of what you're doing, and btw the theme of this video follows with your voice, is really impressive.

[@sambarney8244]

I love it when a video has subtitles! I like to eat while watching but eating crunchy things can make it hard to hear.

[@AChimpKnockinAbout]

Explaining why female in character creation is less ideal for speed running and then immediately picking it anyway makes a lot of sense now. Glad you were always true to yourself!

[@toastishot12]

this is the kind of speedrun the community needed

[@jameswilcox511]

Damn, this is a spectacular video. From concept, to execution, to the speedrun details, to the graphical overlays... Well done!

[@m0thwing256]

love the vids dude they’re amazing great run

[@JamieCracker]

I love your content. I don't usually enjoy speedrun things, but your vibe is immaculate, and you make it so digestible. I love wasting my time with you

[@sbtbone]

Immediate sub! I love that you explain each step as you go. Blown away by how much detail there is here

[@rheenusthebeanus4559]

Your voice is so soothing and listenable. Perfect to be eepy and sleegy to. Just took a nap

[@br1na332]

Lovely stuff. Adore both commentary and theme runs. Look forward to checking it more of your videos!

[@tomm4085]

Please bro I need more of your videos they're just the most calming speedrun explanations on the platform and on my favourite game too

[@thewolfofthestars1847]

The dragon's sleepy times had to sacrificed for your own. This is acceptable

[@sweetpotato9995]

New Minoan video day is a good day, thanks for the vids ma’am ✌🏻

[@TheOldMundane]

Hey, excellent stuff all around. The dry comedy in the script takes it to S tier.

[@KingReviIo]

Great vid, love your commentary ☀️

[@dinkleberglul]

What a treat to watch! Loved the commentary/explanations of the run and I thought it was perfectly explained for my dumb brain to grasp. I hope the algorithm sunbros are kind to you \o/🌞, now get some rest chosen unrested.

[@HellaFluff]

this video is so soothing i fell asleep to it for 2 nights now before actually finishing it

[@vadiks20032]

this was a nice video to watch before going to sleep

[@yannickkohlmann250]

[@jam_2107]

super underrated video good stuff my man

[@oldboy117]

what about the comfy bed of chaosss

[@foolsgold5588]

Very enjoyable video. Glitchless speedruns are my favorite, so while I understand feeling more limited by them, I would be happy if you worked up the desire to do another one :) Swiping off a gargoyle's tail in one swing and then immediately pulling it out to beat both of them to death with it is one of the most metal plays I've seen recently.

[@skully959]

Amazing video, thank you for explaining the details

[@nibulsheep8214]

"Hand it over.. that thing, the cup of hot coco before bed"

[@jamesey1676]

first video fo yours i watched and was like oh yeah another speedrun, then the end it was LITERALLY all about going to eep, i was like. ah that makes sense, needless to say that made me chuckle and i subbed afterwards :D

[@mysteriya6987]

the casual explanation about japanese/american vs european numbering system for floors was so funny to me

[@boodashaka2841]

I've never seen any of your videos but from this one, your voice gives me the vibe that you could easily be related to Geo Rainbolt

[@theoyarusewicz6343]

great video !!

[@SleepinJimmy]

Finally, a meaningful speedrun.

[@eleanorsfate445]

Finally. Something meaningful and relevant on the Tube!

[@mrpropper1696]

To clarify about the humanity on the elevator to new londo ruins: the more humanity you have on the top-left counter (until 10) increases your chance of enemies dropping items. Its biggest use is on darkroot basin when you kill the black knight to drop his halberd. Also used to get the purple moss to remove the poison when red tear stone ring is active just before quelaag :D

[@rot_exe]

Thou who art eepy, art chosen, in thine exodus from from the Unrested Asylum, maketh pilgrimage to the land of Eepy Lords.

[@lordchiopet1630]

Wasn't expecting a vatti vidya segment 2 minutes in but good to know Miyazaki has been warning us of the horrors of Europe even before bloodborne 😂

[@Shazammo]

im pretty sure the humanity use on the elevators in this route is still the same as it used to be, which is maximizing drop chance before you kill the halberd black knight. before moveswap glitches became popular BKH was the goto speedrun weapon, usually resets would occur here if you didn't get the drop.

[@antx_soulsborne_meat_rider]

I upheld my word and im here to like also use the stone greatsword

[@farlie3204]

''the british refer to the 3rd floor as the 2nd'' maybe 500 years ago lmao

[@hhueter]

Hollow Knight seems to have a bunch of odd % speed runs that I enjoy watching. Glad someone is doing them for the souls games.

[@tehuselessguig3138]

the narration in this video sounds like the "discombobulate" monologue from the RDJ Sherlock movie

[@steelsnake1493]

Running glitchless in DSR? You are a bold one, mate.

[@dimarichmain]

The real sleep% should be getting into Nito's teleporting grave.

[@atavatav8141]

5:30 The Reason why RTSR can cause more then a double damage increase is because of how Dark Souls 1's Defense Formula works for reducing damage, there is not 1 formula but 5 and the one used is based on the difference between the weapons attack total and the defenders defense total. This causes big damage boosts when players raise their attack enough to go up a step in defense calculations. Quick Example: New characters start with around 80~ attack and many enemies have around 100~ defense, putting the player in the second lowest formula and doing around 23~ attack damage. Using RTSR boosts the starting gear to around 120~ attack which is higher than the 100~ defense of many enemies, putting the player in the middle formula and doing around 59~ attack damage. The Attack Thresholds for the Formulas are: Attack > Defense*8 (Does 90% Attack Damage) Defense*8 > Attack >Defense*2.5 (Does around 75% Attack Damage) Defense*2.5 > Attack > Defense (Does around 50% Attack Damage) Defense > Attack > Defense*0.125 (Does around 25% Attack Damage) Defense*0.125 > Attack (Does 10% Attack Damage)

[@ryla22]

The thing about 2nd floor is so weird. Elevators I've seen here in Canada have b for basement, g for ground, and 2+ for everything else
