I Paid For Dark Souls Platinum With My Own Soul

[@Tanlodite]

Him encountering Capra Demon for the 1st time is basically a summary of everything that DS1 players hate about the boss.

[@gowaderacer]

That's why there's no shame in cheesing him.

[@paultapping9510]

I've defended his placement and design in the past, but on reflection, he's an absurd and unnecessary difficulty spike. The lessons he's meant to teach could be better taught elsewhere.

[@GG_Metl]

Am I the only person who didn’t struggle with Capra the first time?

[@cwapisme]

@@GG_MetlNope, I beat him easily when I was like 6 n a half or 7

[@scallahan1294]

​@TF2xScoutxPRO first time was easy for me too, I think that's why every time I go back now he beats my ass to take back that confidence, he ain't too bad but the jump attacks and his damn dogs can be a pain

[@superbeachboy358]

The wolf fight is kind of tragic… if you did the DLC first you go back in time and rescue him when he was a pup and then when you fight him in the main game afterwards he recognizes your scent and cries that he has to fight you. It brought me to tears back in 2011

[@nick_ar]

Sheesh

[@scenczyk1429]

Feels so good to watch someone play through for the first time. Brings back so many memories from the first time i did all these things. Well done

[@destinsather9757]

Hey Nick! Just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to try Bloodborne after that video and since Platinuming that I’ve also Platinumed Elden Ring and Sekiro. Now I’m working on DS1… these souls games have changed my life. I try to play other games but they just don’t hit the same, I don’t know what it is but I know that I’ve been happier than I’ve ever been. You do an awesome job and are by far the best Platinum chaser on KZbin… can’t wait to see DS2 and DS3 !

[@nick_ar]

Thanks destin!!

[@mastertainment116]

Tried this one myself not to long ago and knights honor was very frustrating, especially after my save file corrupted before getting it. Kudos to you! Certainly isn’t an easy platinum.

[@coszii.7582]

your videos are great and the quality never fails to impress. my favourite platinum hunter hands down. i think posting platinum guide walkthroughs of some of your favourite games or the hardest ones you’ve done would be a really cool series too. you’re clearly good enough at these games to do it and i think it could bring in a new stream of viewership to your channel.

[@viciousvize6363]

Your vids never disappoint man this was deffo worth the wait 🔥

[@Astrrophel]

If you enjoyed the game and not just in it for the platinum, you should definitely try the dlc, it’s got some of the best boss fights in the entire story! Plus some excellent lore to it as well…

[@zzodysseuszz]

Which isn’t saying much since ds1 has some dmc1 tier bosses; really outdated and boring

[@TobaccoPancake]

@@zzodysseuszz2 L take in one sentence ( but I agree some bosses like Bed of chaos suck and big fire worm suck)

[@avian9033]

It's a popular saying that the hardest souls game is the first one you play, so it would make sense that this one wasn't too bad for you. It has pretty much the same trophy list as every other souls game, it's just most people's first one! Great video as always!

[@nick_ar]

Thanks!

This video is amazing but I wish you would have done DLC! It’s an amazing experience!

[@nick_ar]

Didn’t know how to access it

[@coszii.7582]

@@nick_arou have to go back to where that golden golem you kill in darkroot basin to free the dusk of oolacile is and there will be a rift looking thing. interact with it and it’ll throw you into the dlc. there are some prerequisites (maybe just freeing the dusk, but google it to be sure) to access it and you have to do it before killing the final boss or you’ll get thrown right into ng and the rift will be closed until later again. you should give it a go even if you don’t want to make a video on it. it’s definitely worth a play and imo has three of the top 5 bosses in ds1 in it. 1. ornstein and smough 2. artorias 3. kalameet 4. sif 5. manus

If you do the DLC, you should DEFINITELY restart the main story (even if itll be a pain in the ass to do). After doing a certain DLC, the boss fight start anjmation for Great Grey Wolf Sif changes, and it's... well, i wont spoil it.

[@Waltuhonyoutube]

Hey Nick!! Please dont miss the dlc. It comes with the remastered version for free and it’s such a great dlc and 2 of the bosses in the dlc are arguably S tier and better than any boss in the actual game. It does not have trophies tho but since u say u like to enjoy the games and not just get the plat I thought i would drop this

[@nick_ar]

I may revisit it but since it has no trophies, including it in this video would be a tangent to the overall goal

[@Waltuhonyoutube]

@@nick_ar true true. I appreciate the fact that u are so in-touch with your fans and how u reply to almost every comment! Great dedication my friend

The thing that makes the dark souls platinum so hard for all 3 is getting all the rings, you have to do dlc for some than do a ng+ cycle to get most of the others.

Heyy congrats man! Having platinumed this game twice (original and remaster) and every other souls game, I can say that the hardest one is DS3. Not because of difficulty per se, but because for every magic/pyromancy/miracle/etc achievement you need to not only join covenants, but upgrade your level in them, and for that you need to either do some online, which is difficult, or grind hours and hours (with max luck boost) to farm the items. It's A PAIN

One of the most underated youtubers on the platform 🔥

[@Fosfato008]

One of the best tricks in the fight with Nito is: block with a two-handed weapon and do not move when he sticks his sword into the ground (you can here him scream that´s the que to freeze), I don't know if the trick works with long weapons or great-swords but basically it doesn't hurt you, no. It won´t work if you block with the shield It consists of the fact that at the moment Nito's sword is going to collide with the character's hitbox, when blocking with two hands the character moves his legs enough for the attack to pass without causing damage

[@antepa112]

Great video!!! I think a lot of people make a big mistake by relying on the drake sword too much in the beginning, not realising it turns useless after a few bosses. So you need more time to get used to a new weapon in more difficult areas

[@nick_ar]

Thanks!
