“I didn’t feel good about simulating a hardware failure, so instead I modded my PS4, used a very specific version of the game, directly edited my save file, and injected the save file into a different port than what it was originally intended.” I can’t understand it but I do respect it.

[@angelmeier4382]

but hardware failure could be simulated from software. I'm not a Windows user. I play on Linux. Doing the same thing on Windows would also be possible though. At least that's what I think. And if not, one could always learn Linux for the challenge. What I would do is install Dark Souls 3 on a separate partition. Then alt+tab and unmount that partition. Sounds simple.

[@sugmagaming7665]

​@@angelmeier4382 holy shit, they weren't lying about linux users lmao. Though I do agree that it could theoretically be possible if he were to simulate the hardware error in a software if that makes any sense to you

[@angelmeier4382]

@@sugmagaming7665 Hey you've just spotted a Linux user in the wild :) Btw what were they saying? Tell me, I'm curious what stereotypes are there xd On Linux you could simply unmount the drive from the filesystem with a simple command. Alt tab the game, bring up the terminal, enter command, get back to the game.

[@pipeseal]

There's thankfully an easier way to dupe boss souls with the longbow :) 1: Have the longbow equipped with no arrows on at all 2: Have an estus in your start menu toolbelt, doesn't matter which one 3:Try shooting an arrow (quiver search animation) at the same time you select 'Yes' for a boss soul (You'll do the animation while also having the prompt to use the boss soul active) 4: Hold down your weapon art with the longbow so the animation plays, then open your menu and use the estus on your toolbelt (You can also ALT F4 if you mess it up) 5: Happy duping

[@Marcelo-0000]

The first ten minutes of the video were interesting, but the result didn't make sense. Causing a hardware failure to skip a boss is not okay in your book, but using multiple versions of the game and completely change platforms is a fine skip? I get that the intention was to show off a complex solution while going through interesting information about the game and how different skips had been discovered throughout different platforms and versions. However, the end result for Gundyr's skip was like someone ordering a "rice and beans milkshake" at the Post Office. To be honest, I'd deem perfectly valid if you just said: "I'm going with this idea to skip Gundyr because it's the most chaotic and fun to me" It's just a problem with the expectation set for the kinds of skips you deem okay versus the ones you don't.

[@splee5556]

The distinction is that one is a skip that isn't possible without hardware manipulation. The other is just taking a character save that has already performed the skip legitimately and converting it to a different platform. I could have played out the rest of the run on PS4, and it would've worked just the same. I just converted it over so I could do it on PC instead (and to see if I could).

really love this concept, Im curious though, any plans for a bloodborne and/or elden ring take on this? off the top of my head without glitches bloodborne is only 3 (cleric beast, gascoigne and, of course, ludwig) and elden ring is either 3 (loretta, radahn, astel) or 4 (loretta, rennala, radahn, astel) depending on if you can open the chest in rennalas room while youre in the middle of that fight

I need to see more guides that knvolve very minimal work Only 2 bosses killed, and ds3 unpacker modded onto the ps4, pretty smooth sailing once you actually insert the files Something everyone can follow!

[@dreyzer517]

I was thinking, the first time after you get to high wall of Lothric (using the jumping glitch on the graves) you could go for the banner and use death cam glitch to skip Vordt and in the next area grab the homeward bones and go back to the shrine, or are you unable to use the homeward bone to travel to the shrine?

[@splee5556]

Homeward bones only give you the option to return to the last bonfire until you rest at Firelink unfortunately.

[@Pation655]

i'm a little confused, does the system not detect that you've unplugged the drive that the game is running off? It does for me, but that might just be because i'm on xbox.

[@splee5556]

On PC, the game will continue to run with whatever data was already loaded into memory. I'm not sure how consoles handle it.

Message of the video: physical discs are superior to digital & just play new game + to not deal with all this. Souls players say they like challenges, so play the game on the harder difficulty of NG+ with the moonlight great sword...

[@samael978]

Somehow i think going through the trouble of save editing from a different console to pc is... worse than just unplugging the drive tbh

I'm sure you didn't miss this, but you say travel doesn't unlock until you rest at firelink. So what happens when you use a homeward bone?

@splee5556 :(

[@jhyenormous413]

I cant seem to find any details about the position save glitch you did, with the ladder and weapon art. Is this patched on 1.09?

[@splee5556]

It's a relatively new glitch; so probably not as well documented as some of the others. The Vordt Skip page on the Souls Speedrun wiki mentions it; but it lacks its own dedicated page. soulsspeedruns.com/darksouls3/vordt-skip The gist of it is that the game will stop updating your stable position when you perform the glitch; so it can be used to warp back to the ladder by saving and quitting. It can also be used to clip through the ground in some places like for Vordt Skip. I'm not sure on the details of why it allows you to clip through the ground though. Edit: It still works even on current patch. So probably works on 1.09 as well.

[@afinoxi]

Honestly, only a psychopath would skip Gundyr like that instead of just doing the deathcam glitch, but I guess it's not too big a thing to expect from someone who went through all that trouble to skip Gundyr lmao.

[@ArchonZach]

I did not think transferring save files from console to PC would be so hard LOL I guess it depends on the game

If you can get to the consumed king's garden at any time through firelink, why not just got there and fight ocyros?
