How to Get the Moonlight Greatsword in 2 Bosses (Dark Souls 3 Edition)

[@totalphantasm]

“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

@@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.

[@SqualidsargeStudios]

@@sugmagaming7665there are always ways to do such a thing, like “ejecting” or unmounting a drive from the system os, to later re mount it again. At least that has a possibility of working to sim an failiure

Honestly even if the gundyr skip worked outside of 1.0.0 I don't consider a skip in which you have to fight most of the boss a proper skip

[@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).

U can do this in 3 bosses if you kill ludex gundyr, the dancer at lvl 30ish or whatever u desire, then oceiros. If u dont know her moves and cant kill her with either sellswords from merc broadsword raw lothric spam or claymore delete the game, i mean kill vordt go down the bridge to unlock yoel do his quest to summon yuria and buy the black hand off her (farm lothric knights from vordts bonfire) then light attack spam them to death. Dont go hollow attempting this if ur new

[@zentazym1]

To anyone who cares, you can do this in 3 bosses without the weird stuff he’s doing. Beat the tutorial and boss, then dancer, then Ocelot. But it’s easier with 4 bosses. Beat Vordt and go to the swamp to get pestilent mist. This will let you kill Dancer easy. Then with Ocelot you can get him stuck on the trees in his room and mist him to death as well. With this you can get the sword in about 2 hours, give or take

One thing I am unable to copy (ignoring the Gundyr thing) is the dancer skip, I am running on 1.03 and I am getting to the point where I just have to log back in, but I always get spawned back in to the location where you "would have died", the footstep sound does change, but I never seem to get the right loading spot, I am not gaining any more height anywhere, so I am a little confused

[@splee5556]

Hard to say for sure without seeing it; but if you're not loading back in at the right place, it means you haven't touched stable ground to update your character's position. I'd double check where you are after skipping the Dancer to be absolutely sure you're ending up in the right place.

[@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.

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.
