I actually used a glitch to get the moonlight great sword, but it was in Elden ring, and it was way easier. So my suggestion is get the Moonlight Greatsword in Elden ring, then wrong Warp to the beginning of Dark Souls. You have to be simultaneously playing both games on PC for this to work. I feel like I would have a better chance of that working than trying your method.

[@diabeticmonkey]

I’ve heard that that’s only possible if you’re playing the PC version of Bloodborne in the background.

[@GyorfiAlex]

Was the glitch talking to a blue lady, killing a big dude, falling through a hole in the maps geometry, going through nokron to get the fingerslayer blade, wrongwarping back to the blue lady, talking to her and using her dialogue to duplicate -1 fingerslayer blades, going to a nearby tower and wrongwarping to astel, defeating astel then heading to liurnia, grabbing the key, wrongwarping to the doorway, using the key to noclip through the door, wrongwarping to raya lucaria, going through and fighting a mother of 20, wrongwarping to space, defeat the mother of 20 before she had children, using a chest in the mother of 20 arena to glitch a ring into your inventory, wringwarping back to astel, and glitching the ring onto blue lady's finger or was it a different glitch? That's the one I usually use, sorry if I missed a few steps on how to perform this glitch, the last time i did this was about a year ago and my memory is poor

I just beat dark souls 1 for the first time only a few days ago, there's a part of me that wants to play the game again cause I used the Black Knight Halberd and it decimated every boss. however, both Sens Fortress and Bed of Chaos were blind panic runs and made me completely demotivated to beat the game (Though I still did). Total boss deaths I had was 28 with 24 of them being bed of chaos. the other four were Taurus Demon, Grey Wolf Sif, and Seath.

[@splee5556]

That's the great thing about Dark Souls; there's a lot of different ways to play it! Bed of Chaos is a pretty rough boss unless you cheese it with firebombs or arrows.

I am extremely well versed in DSR & PTDE, all exploits and bugs included, and I have never seen that Depths skip before.

[@spitfire_saint4428]

I have seen every glitch you used be done individually and for their own purposes. I have never seen them all so thoroughly and masterfully combined. It would take me weeks to get this done if it was the only thing I did and slept for only a couple hours.

Long time did not see a dark souls video and its a very good one

[@BorntoOrnn]

So, before watching the video, and going off of experience I have from watching speedruns and trying some glitches, I'll take a guess of how you do this run. You skip Asylum Demon by doing the True Asylum Demon Skip, ending up outside the arena without opening the door; you then make a beeline for New Londo Ruins and Valley of Drakes, by picking the Master Key at character creation. You run to Darkroot Basin, go up to Andre and use the stairs that lead to the Undead Parish to perform the death cam glitch, unloading the gates for Sen's Fortress and walking right in. You run through Sen's Fortress normally but grab the greatsword from the NPC on the other side of the broken bridge to perform the Iron Golem grab glitch so you get sent flying into Anor Londo. Once in Anor Londo, you run to the entrance to Duke's Archives, use some of the geometry outside of the place to get over the door and fall into the corridor into the Archives and, from there, just do the area normally until you get to Seath, where you have to do the hardest part of the entire run: actually running his tail. ... I watch too much ymfah on my free time. Edit: so... right on some things, wrong on others. Still, I was actually impressed by the elevator glitch to unload the door to Duke's Archives, never seen that one before. Good video, enjoyed it.

[@OGCESB]

What a legend! Very impressive to watch you make all those skips.

[@Jaccolades]

I liked this video, very informative, I will use some of the details. Just thought there must be an overall goal that is better than the moonlight great sword though tbh. I have to come up with ideas for what I would use these skips for.

[@TheValkyre0]

I am starting to think that Dark Souls 1 was a beautifully broken masterpiece. The way you just bend it to your whims with so much ease is almost terrifying.

[@quirkyqwerty2840]

Still waiting for the adds to finish so I can start the video, but predictions are: - firebomb then quit-out for asylum demon skip - master-key to get to sens via valley - pick up depths key from the back entrance of the undead chapel region - cross bridge to get the sorcerer teacher in Depths for fall damage spells and rings - death cam to skip Bells - great sword grab glitch to skip Iron Golem - fall damage spell delay to skip golden gates at Duke Goldgate (ymfah video) - complete Duke's and grab the tail. Adds are done, so I'll edit once I finish! EDIT: Hah, seems I was on the wrong track for the very start. Forgot that the prep-work for weapons and damage also count. Either way, congrats on the run, and have a good day!

item swapping to skip the running start animation does not affect female characters. Female characters already start running faster than males, however males stop running later than females. Thats why speedrunners pick male

[@splee5556]

Upper body animations accelerate you instantly to max speed on both male and female characters. Female characters naturally accelerate and decelerate faster than male characters. So they don't get as much of a benefit as male characters, but still do get some benefit. You are correct that male characters are faster for speedruns due to the slower deceleration.
