I forced myself to Platinum Dark Souls 3

I forced myself to Platinum Dark Souls 3! In this video I get the Platinum Trophy for dark souls 3. This is one of the HARDEST souls games to platinum due to the difficult bosses and soul draining Cov farming. Dark Souls 3 has a Platinum difficulty of 7/10, with a minimum requirement of 3 playthroughs and a time recommendation of 80 hours... and it was worth every second.

Apologies for the LONG wait! I wanna thank you all again for the support on the videos, you guys are amazing! As of now I'm going to try my best to shoot for 3 videos a month

About the Nameless king and the covenant the rest is easy

If u haven't tried the dlcs try them one of the bosses has THREE phases

[@Alelobo869]

Never saw someone defeating Yhorm without using the StormRuler and just letting Sigward do the whole magic thing...

[@ieuanyin]

i feel like that genuinely might make the fight more fun than the intended way 🤔

[@hitalick5999]

it makes the fight alot more interesting as you're the one pulling aggro and siegward doing the fighting

[@amars_on330]

thats literally me on first playthrough cuz i didnt know how to do the magic thing

[@jac_08]

I defeated yhorm without stormruler and whitout sigward. I spent 2 hours

[@fyfu_Manuel]

Well then you haven't heard of backlogs he had to replay the whole game because sigward died the first time

[@Snamwiches]

Seeing someone else have to grind those silver knights on the stairs instead of me is kind of cathartic in a way haha. Congrats man!

LOL thanks man 🙌

@@redacted3144wdym? Is there 2 guaranteed ones what do u do or where do u farm to

[@Benboostedguy]

The way you defeated yhorm genuinely made my day, never have I ever seen someone beat him this way thinking its the intended way. The fact that you didnt find the weapon yourself and let siegward do the trick for you as you distract yhorm… honestly im speechless, great video man ♥️

[@MacAttackPlays]

I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@bloodyeyes1752]

i recently finished getting all platinums for the dark souls series and i can agree the ds3 covenant farm was pure pain compared to the others

[@MacAttackPlays]

It really was pain.. congrats on the plats 💪

[@etceterax144]

Platinumed ds1, 2, des and bb, but when I saw how much grinding it takes for ds3, I juat quit... Haven't played it for almost 2 years But maybe once I finish sekiro, I'll get back to doing it.

[@bloodyeyes1752]

[@MacAttackPlays]

You will get through it 🙌

[@danielparra3274]

man this plat is PAINFUL, the Anor Londo farming was the worst, still love this game to the death

[@intelektuelleserdbeben3722]

I also got this platinum trophy last year. It was a lot of fun and a interesting way to play this awesome game. However, farming the silver knights and skeletons in the catacombs almost drove me insane and made me quit. But im proud i completed all of that. Nice video

[@JeysonDAmico-qi4th]

Rewarding though big time

[@jakob8372]

Must’ve taken soooo long. The platinum for Ds3 is up next for me too

[@MacAttackPlays]

DS3 was a GRIND... I wish you the best

[@d4rkn3sslp55]

​@@MacAttackPlays I got my Plat 2 days ago. The grind was horrible🤣

[@tunar_karimov]

i was grinding over 20 hours, i think around maybe 30 even. This game made me hate myself and every decision i made to that day.

[@kennygearheart3737]

GZ man, just went back and finished the plat for the game this weekend and honestly loved every second of it after the covenants were done.

[@bjmurphy34]

"... but Dark Souls 1 is better." I used to think the same until I played both games without summons. Dark Souls 3 end-game boss fights are top tier. Faster, smoother, and more fun when you get it right.

[@MacAttackPlays]

Makes sense

[@samuelmertens4116]

And the dlc's are so great imo

[@Evade..67]

I never really summoned in souls games because bosses get 30% more hp and i dont think its worth it, the npc summons arent worth most of the time

[@zachpfund7785]

Summons are honestly so broken op in almost every fight just to take aggro away from you for free damage. Makes some of the boss fights so boring to watch and play.

[@lycan1235]

Wow you did the platinum of DS3, the silver knights and vertebrae farms traumatized me… for me definitely the longest part so GG also your video is super well edited, there's a lot of rhythm and this game is a masterpiece anyway. PS : The 2 DLCs of DS3 are also incredible but there’s no trophy however you could do a little playtrough of it especially the 2nd one is also a masterpiece so you can’t go wrong with this :^)

[@Ghasthund]

Seeing someone breeze through crystal sage but struggle with the princes fight is so funny. It was the exact opposite for me, genuinely think I died to CS more times than every other boss combined

[@drchomp]

Great video man, glad you could get it out!

[@renerivera9715]

Hell yeah dude good job doing the dark souls trilogy only left is mortal shell,sekiro,code vein,the surge 1&2 and that new samurai dark souls game

[@MacAttackPlays]

Cant wait for Sekiro!

[@Michael12432]

Bro your actually so good at the game it inspires me 😂❤

[@midnial]

Great video, ds3 platinum grind is very boring. I know I may be gatekeeping but playing these games without summons is a whole different experience, you actually learn the bosses' patterns and the feeling of achievement is unmatched, you feel proud of yourself because you did everything on your on. Again, I'm not obligating you to do anything, it's just a suggestion, it's such a great feeling

[@skitsothe3rd]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS THANK YOU

[@MacAttackPlays]

😁

[@maxwms]

I think you made your game experience way worse than what it could’ve been by not fighting boss fights alone

[@MacAttackPlays]

I just wanted to get the sunlight medals over with

[@maxwms]

@@MacAttackPlays understandable. You could’ve also farmed them with a friend outside of killing bosses by just invading and killing each other, same with the shackles from the catacombs haha. Did the same and saved me a a lot of time. The other ones you have to grind tho. I still have PTSD from the silver knights at Anor Londo

[@xumiohd288]

Your the reason im playing ds3 atm :) inspired to platinum it

[@MacAttackPlays]

YURR BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO

[@user-hl6uh8ze2o]

I love ds3 is my favourite. I just got platinum today. I play a lot of invasions for farm items covenants. One thing i say, miracles and especially rings is very brutal task haha. Cheers

[@Chris-ty-ian]

Watching you beat Yorm without storm ruler was so funny 😂

[@thatgamerguy89]

i love when people dont use the storm ruler that you grab at the thrown in the boss arena for Yhorm....its what Siegward was using in that fight, and it's just there the entire time waiting to be picked up haha

[@Emmeric]

If there’s one thing I’m grateful for, it’s not having had to farm the blade of darkmoon covenant. Luckily I had already garnered all the items I needed from the pvp I had done a year or so prior

[@bhumbyrd]

I love your KZbin videos you’re just like any other KZbinr except you’re going for the platinum you’re like Markiplier but with the controller!!!!!!

DS3 plat gives me flashbacks to getting wrecked by gank squads in ringed city invasions so many times that as soon as the plat popped i set fire to the disc but sunbroing nameless king for people for medals in the sunlight cov was a highlight

[@nsartin23]

How you platinumed this in 80 hours is unreal... Took me that long for 1 play through plus the DLCs. Admittedly new to DS but man 3 playthroughs and the covenant grind has be questioning the worth of even doing it.

[@BLP04]

5:05 ight, who’s gonna tell him?

[@person5862]

I finally platinumed dark souls 3 today! I’ve done the entire soulsborne series now including sekiro, gotta say DS3 definitely most tedious out of the series, but still peak gameplay the whole time, great video!

Congrats on the platinum! It was definitely a journey

[@ascendant9792]

Died from the "Enemy AC-130 above" :D

[@nuclearrabbit03]

By far I think the worst part about getting the platinum is the covenant stuff. Even on release it was super tedious, and it’s a million times worse now that the player base is smaller.

[@BeautifulGnome]

I used the dragonslayer greataxe when I first played fun fact lightning clutch ring boosts damage

[@jimlinks3136]

I did this and the hardest part the the darkmoon covenant. It gives you a respect for everything in the game to gwt every achievment.

[@alyfarid5202]

It’s not like that for everyone, the proofs only took me like 4 hours but the vertebra shackles took me triple that time so for me the vertebra shackles were way harder

[@quitegrimm4968]

I remember using the boss invasion glitch for mound makers cause i sucked at pvp otherwise and two straight days of grinding for concord kepts had me questioning my sanity

[@Loretic42069]

I 100% ds3 a couple days ago, I started farming at around 5 hours Ended farming at 23 hours, I farmed for 18 hours. Didn't help that all the covenant farming I did was on NG+ because I wasn't initially planning on finishing my achievements on that character but just to beat Midir for the first time, but I figured "this is probably the only time I'm beating Midir so might as well use this to get the sorceries achievements" and then came the rest

[@fbwiwuehwwkwidbwnqkeudb4255]

Grinding the convent took me like 20 hrs man I stg very painful

[@nexdroid1486]

There are 3 knights there you can grind for a proof of a concord kept, in fact all the grinds have an extra enemy or 2 that can drop the items

[@hugookp9463]

It broke my heart to see you invoking people during boss fight

[@draketorres]

I have been waiting for this video and it’s top tier keep up the good work you should platinum wolfenstein Youngblood

[@MacAttackPlays]

I’ll definitely attempt the Wolfenstein games one day

[@PotatoTrader919]

Ive plat all souls games, but DS3 took the absolute piss with the farming. I would recommend going on discord and farming it with someone else

[@Willzb-xk4ew]

Imagine if they added a secret ring called "the one ring' (yes that one) which gives 100% soul increase, discovery and increases damage taken by 100% and it can only be acquired after collecting all other rings

[@KinoAndFriendsOnGod]

If you ever got the time I highly recommend doing Yakuza 0, the platinum might be a bit tedious of some certain reasons but it’s a masterpiece from my perspective

Damn good shit. Idk if I’ll ever attempts this plat cuz there’s so much grinding. DS1 was bad enough 😂

[@Dream-yq2et]

I know im 3 months late but if you fought these bosses without summons and took the time to learn patterns once you fight them again in NG+ they become way easier.

[@waves3869]

this plat is no joke (i dont even have it), congrats and lets go!!!

[@MacAttackPlays]

💪💪

[@chrisgoods]

Nice work. I literally just platinumed DS3 myself... the grind in this one is real and very painful. It took me 75 hours to platinum, and almost half of that was literally just grinding. I hope FromSoft never do that again as it kind of ruins the experience. But otherwise great game...

[@MacAttackPlays]

I agree the Cov farming was very unnecessary

[@ScuffedOnes]

I can feel the pain😂

[@TheLightyagami1993]

I have PTSD farming this convenant items … Fighting over and over the same enemy for hours Finally I got the platinum trophy

[@duckpin]

This dude somehow made Yhorm fun wtf

[@Morningstar_95]

I platinumed it 30 days after it released. Farming for darkmoon blade and wolf ring was the only thing that sucked

[@thebifguy]

I got this platinum like 2 weeks ago after my last attempt in 2017 haha…. It’s was an emotional roller coaster but definitely worth the ride. I wanna platinum run bloodborn so bad…. But it’s locked on like 30 fps :( never played that game. It’s the only souls game that I haven’t tried

[@SlepexxIsHim]

What's wrong with 30 fps? I see lots of people talking about it but I've always played on 30 fps on games because I've never had a pc. Is there a big difference?

[@BDA4144]

man when the servers were down i had to farm the covenant items and it was hell

[@alyfarid5202]

I also just got the plat but weird part is that u said the proofs took u the longest but for me they only took like 4 hours, no items took from me more than 4 hours except for the vertebra shackles, those alone took me like 12 hours, dark souls just has weird drop rates and is super random

[@cdog3625]

[@imreszabo4256]

I just completed Dark Souls 3, and the farming for covenant item almost made me gave up on this completion. I don't know what they thought when they made this drop rate. But getting all the rings not better either. I am so happy I am over with it. Never again... Btw I spent 83 hours doing this.
