Can You Beat Dark Souls 2 at NEGATIVE Level 44?

Ever thought of what it's like to play Dark Souls 2 with level 1 stats? Well today I'm trying it out by using a glitch that skips the character creation cutscene and forces me with level 1 stats which also puts me at level -44, I'm also not allowed to level up at all...

FYI, if you wear gear that you don't have the stats for, like the Jester boots, your mobility is adversely affected as if you were heavily encumbered. This shortens roll distance and jump distance, hence your baby jumps at Brume Tower.

[@Greywander87]

I thought it was because your equip load reduced your jump distance. It seems like I have an easier time making certain jumps after taking off all my armor, though sometimes I don't notice a difference. I kinda wish Dark Souls didn't have such crap jump mechanics, but at least they're not used that often.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36).

From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof.

[@JulioDRai]

Literally the only game in the franchise that tried to do new things and even vary gameplay, I for one enjoyed the slower paced more methodical gameplay from DS2. Too bad the rabid fans made sure to shit on it so much that Formsoft stopped trying and even reverted good changes when they made DS3.

[@nathanjora7627]

@Shuls, literally all the games have “tried new things”, DeS is a whole new game that posed the very foundations of the genre, hardly “not trying new things”, DS1 brought estus flasks, a continuous world, bonfires, fleshed out miracles (even if it wasn’t nearly enough), developed sorceries and pyromancies much further than DeS, added midroll, as well as all sorts of out of the box ideas like vagrants or miracle resonance, BB if you count it as part of the series also added a bunch of things, trick weapons, firearms, breakable limbs, gems, dungeons, etc, DS3 is the only one where admittedly there wasn’t much “innovation” proper going on, but it’s not like it didn’t do anything to mix up the formula established by DS1 and DS2, like improved special abilities of weapons, multiple hybrid spell tools, bringing back the mana system, breaking estus into ashen and regular, and the fact that it focused on refining instead of innovating without a proper plan in mind allowed it to bring the series to a new height in terms of boss combats, unlike DS2 that had the laziest possible approach to innovation “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks”. Innovation has to be tempered and restrained, not let loose without any limit, otherwise you end up with a buggy unfinished game that is completely over sized for the capabilities of your console and massively behind the schedule which forces you to replace the lead developer midway through.

[@nathanjora7627]

Also saying that DS2 had “slow” gameplay if your basis for comparison is DS1 and DeS makes absolutely no sense at all, overall when your ADP is at normal level the game is just as if not faster than both of those, the only difference is that the enemies are clunkier due to weird end of animations where they’ll get stuck in their poses for a good half a second to second more than the mobs in the previous games, and due to weird timing for them to get back to attacking once they got out of that pose, like for Heide knights or alone knights etc. I agree rabid fans are bad, maybe you shouldn’t act like one.

[@JulioDRai]

@@nathanjora7627 Ironic that you tried to uno reverse me with the "rabid fan" thing while you are the one posting 2 essays as to why DS2 is the worst game in the franchise kek Just so we are clear I have over 1k hrs in DS1 & DS2 while I have over 500hrs in DS3 and I dont think any of them is a bad game. Also I'm sorry but DS2 does have the best boss fights in the franchise like Sir Alonne, Fume Knight or Darklurker.

[@nathanjora7627]

@@JulioDRai Before responding to your message, there's one thing I'm genuinely curious about : what good thing has From walked back on in DS2, that was the target of lots of complaints, and couldn't just as easily be attributed to miyazaki taking the reins and going back to what he did in DS1 and DeS simply because those are the games he made ? "while you are the one posting 2 essays as to why DS2 is the worst game in the franchise kek" And that's where you've shown your hand : at no point I did that. I said two things, 1) that all the games save maybe for DS3 innovated pretty much to the same degree or much more than DS2, 2) that the way DS2 had to "innovate" was lazy and lead to many problems. Those problems are all objective issues, we know that trying to go too big too fast without any restraint is what messed over DS2's development and forced from to replace the first lead with a second one that straightened it all up. Even if DS2 was the best game in the whole series, it'd still be true. "Also I'm sorry but DS2 does have the best boss fights in the franchise like Sir Alonne, Fume Knight or Darklurker." Haha, real funny, no. It has SOME of the best, like those you cited, though amusingly Alonne especially has the massive end animation lag I was talking about earlier, but besides the fact that two thirds of those you cited are DLC bosses, DS3 just has much more of fights of this level of quality, dancer, champion, NK, dragonslayer armor, twin princes, SoC, and pontiff, and I didn't even have to go to the DLCs, otherwise I could've cited a strong contender for best boss in the series, namely Gael, as well as the almost universally agreed upon best dragon in the series, midir (I personally prefer kalameet and sinh, but midir is at the very least the first dragon to get the scale of a dragon fight right whilst also having engaging gameplay, unlike ancient dragon). Btw before you think I'm simping for DS3 : I'm not, DS1 and DeS are my favourite souls games, with... Probably BB and ER coming second, and those games have their fair share of issues (no poise in DeS, awkward rolls for both DeS and DS1, repeated bosses in DS1, etc).

You guys should check out Press Continue's video after this one. He beat the game at this negative soul level without using stat boosting gear.

[@ALINAGORI]

dist i might not be able to catch up your live streams like i used to but i definitely appreciate your youtube videos includes ds2

[@FrozenAggron]

I love that even with base 1 dex the rapier still slaps in ds2

Doing a regular SL1 run - the broadsword and crossbow are your very best friends for much of the game. They single handedly carried me all the way past Iron Keep and through Brume Tower to get those special rings

[@Dancoqui]

That was awesome, you make that run look really easy to do

[@durr4n371]

you're an absolute mad man doing this run! great job man! watching this makes me wanna retry doing an sl1 run on the original ds2; and that it's possible despite the hitboxes, adp and, keyboard and mouse controls...

[@JulioDRai]

Unless the keyboard and mouse is part of this challenge you are talking about then I dont see why you cant just use a controler... Also adp isnt a problem if you arent doing some self imposed run where you specifically dont level up and even go so far as to skip character creation, I've done plenty of runs with base adp and its not an issue.

[@herschelruskin432]

@@JulioDRai In my experience there is an enormous amount of input delay in mouse and keyboard ds2 original

[@JulioDRai]

@@herschelruskin432 That sucks but thats not really a ds2 issue its more of a jp developer issue since they first and foremost develop their games for console so they will always play better with a controller. Maybe one day they will actually bother making a proper PC version of their games, who knows.

[@heavensgate2245]

@@JulioDRai I mean, it's still better than the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection needing 3rd party software to even play all the games in fullscreen (never you mind having to restart either the game or your PC because it didn't recognize your controller for some fucking reason)

Ds2 was such a fun game... It was so hard on the beginning. I hated it at first but once i figured it out, it was very rewarding. Has the best homebase song too

[@StockpileThomas1]

I have gained a whole new appreciation for this game. Although I find it a bit too clunky and slow, I much prefer its methodical gameplay over what they come up with in DS3 and ER.

[@thegames4565]

It's my favorite souls, really hard when you're new and fairly easy once you master it. 8 (+?) runs already (only on the steam version since I had it pirated before)

This run showed things that I didn't even know after 1k-2k hours. granted most of it was pvp that I played but still

[@ziegly]

55:18 how is he using the Puzzling Stone Sword without the Dexterity Ring, when it requires 6 Dex? Is he getting some Dex from his armor? Edit: I see, Vessel Shield (+4) and Cale's Helm (+2).

[@capperbuns]

Based around that shield, you can get a total of 12 DEX and use a rapier in this run, if you wanted to. Base of 1, +5 from the DEX ring, 4 from the shield, and 2 from the helm, for a total of 12, just enough for le rapier.

Can somebody tell me how you can get so many forbidden suns? I've seen it multiple times now and played dark Souls 2 for like 1000 hours but I just don't get how one cast can be made into 10.

[@ReifinDFanchon]

Pretty sure he does Attunement Glitch, where he attune spell with the most cast and then swap it with Forbidden Sun the moment loading screen start. It's hard to describe in text, so try searching "Dark Souls 2 Attunement Glitch" and you should find the answer. I use this to get like 20+ Crystal Soul Spear. As a heads up, PC version only.

For the giants in black gulch, you can kill 1 and then quit and reload and the game kills the other ones

[@cadunkus]

The reason the Jester pants scuffed your jumps is because if you don't meet the stat requirements for a piece of armor it screws up your dodge and jumps.
