Can you beat Dark Souls in reverse order?

Dark Souls is one of the games of all time. It is almost as janky as a Bethesda game, but only almost. Look it is so janky this weirdo even beat the game in reverse order.

What a stupid video. Nothing to do with skill or anything, just breaking the game. Why even make the video title a question? OF COURSE you can do it if you give yourself a billion souls...😂

This is among the moost absurd challenge runs I've seen on YT, definetely earned a sub.

[@vallarfaxgaming]

It's not a challenge by any means, all you're doing is using mods/cheats to spawn inside the kiln and whatever other areas are needed and removing the forced progression to NG+ A challenge would be something most people can't do, this is not remotely impossible 😂😂

[@Zexceeda]

​@@vallarfaxgamingI mean, no offense, but going by reviews and achievement percentages, I'm not entirely sure most human beings can even beat Datk Souls... like... have you ever looked at the percentage of people who own a game have aquire which achievements? Dark Souls, despite I'd claim having a Cult following is still extremely low in early game completion by comparison to other games. Like I said, it has a bit of a Cult following tho, so it's absurdly high in 100% completion achievements even considering its RPG status, who him pretty sure is one of THE kinds of games people might actually decide to 100%.

[@crazyfriend50]

​@@vallarfaxgamingi calculated that from a stat that 54k people bought dsr digitally and on steam the all achievements achievement is 6% So 3240 people got all achievements and thats just the base game Imagine playing the game completely backwards and imagine how many are able to do that Its a hard challenge

Watching this Dark Souls run is like sipping on a finely aged Estus Flask of glitches and throwbacks. Kudos to the sommelier of soul-crushing games for this exquisite taste in exploit vintage! Cheers to your next run, may it be equally robust and full-bodied. 🥂

Dude... this video is absolutely unreal. Ive completed NG+7 and at some point thought, yeah im not a casual player. Watching this video is such a wake up call. There is so much complexity and exploitative aspects in games and guys like you find and share them with us all. Its so simultaneously impressive and humbling. Amazing stuff.

[@minoan13]

There are plenty of tutorials for them in the desc. Some of them are not worth the time for me to make a tutorial around. Saying not much is known about the grab is not just me, but other speedrunners more knowledgeable than me.

[@vladdivesho1163]

Its always a treat whenever you upload a video Hope you keep the goofy aah runs coming Im curious in case you were able to test it out, at what point of entering the lost kiln trigger the dark lord ending? Is it at the start of the stairs or the moment the area title pops up on the screen?

[@minoan13]

Kiln of the First Flame and Firelink Altar are the same map, m18_00_00_00. After I warped back to the Shrine bonfire if I went back to m18_00_00_00 the cutscene would play forcing me into new game. Most of it is an educated guess, but if you are in anywhere in m18_00_00_00 outside Gwyn’s arena the dark lord ending plays. Sorry for being specific about the map. There is a m18_01_00_00 which is the Northern Undead Asylum.

[@Cosmonaut9724]

I love the dorohedoro background, that's pretty sick.

[@iteleportbread3998]

Thanks to this video, I now understand how King Crimson works. Thanks

[@scylorn]

There is one good reason to not do the DLC like this - Manus, Father of the Abyss. The point of the run is defeated because of 3 necessary bosses to get to him, which makes it the entire DLC.

[@minoan13]

The only skip I know for that dlc is the PCC wrong warp that skips the first two bosses, but ya that DLC is messy for this run.

[@fightthepowerman]

?? 2 necessary bosses and a 3 eyed dragon, surely?

[@Copperhell144]

21:10 The simulator game year convention is, I believe, fashioned after the sports game yearly release naming convention. Most sports' (though not all ofc) seasons start in Fall and end in the following year's Spring/Summer, so sports games tend to name themselves after the year that their particular season ends in. So as an example NBA 2K24 will release in September 2023 and cover the 2023-2024 season.

[@golemuniverse4291]

Just said the most useful tip “ a shield i know how to parry with” Cuz some timings are different

Love your vids man. Just want you to know that I also wonder why games do that stupid naming thing. Btw completely absurd run haha, respect the skills. You are so good at this game.

[@rheenusthebeanus4559]

I'm pretty sure it's so the game lasts the entire year which is on its box so you don't end up buying a 2023 game in like late November (also it probably just sounds better to the marketing team lol) cars do the same thing!

[@stinkylizard]

Great video! Something you might not have known about is that you can bypass the golden fog gate to Dukes, either using a fall control meme roll or by traversing an out of bounds collision seam. Doing that in addition to skipping the prison should let you kill seath before OnS! Unless I'm missing something.

[@minoan13]

Gwyn comes after O&S. Gwyn is the final boss. Killing the Four Lords before Gwyn then O&S is not need because I can wrong warp. Placing the lord vessel is not to make it easier by reducing skips, but allowing me to wrong warp to Gwyn. If I did try and kill the Four Lords before Gwyn without the lordveseel. I can’t get past Nito’s golden fog wall. As far as I know.

[@stinkylizard]

Ohh, I see. Nevermind then!
