What Happens When an Elden Ring Player Tries Dark Souls For the First Time?!

An Elden Ring player tries Dark Souls for the first time!
Today I finally tried out the game that started the series off. Dark Souls 1. Dark souls is considered one of the best souls games of all time and I have never seen gameplay of it or played it before making this a completely new experience for me! Do I have what it takes to beat one of the best souls games of all time?

“I’m glad I don’t have to fight that giant demon thing over there.” Famous last words.

[@omniscientgrunk]

Actually , that was a different demon. You plunge through the floor later to fight the Stray Demon later. The first demon is called the Asylum Demon. Peace

Don't know if anyone else pointed this out, but for anyone who isn't aware: The asylum demon and it's variants are the literal model the erdtree avatars in elden ring use. Even the same animations for attacks, right down to the timings.

[@zombieboss5178]

the erdtrees could be the demons maybe, but perhaps afflicted with some kind of illness that caused their own form of hollowing, maybe crimson?

[@kykiske321]

@@zombieboss5178 There is a theory that if you complete Elden Ring with the end of the frenzied flame, it is what begins the era of fire that originates the lore of DS1 later. Too extend to detail it here, but if you search on the internet you will see better information.

[@quintit]

Yea I didn't like that abt ER, felt kinda cheap to fight 4 of the same boss, but a third of the game is like that anyway

[@jooplin]

⁠@@quintitif you don’t reuse assets that you developed over multiple games you can file for bankruptcy immediately. They reused their assets really smart, for example the parasite things in DS3 were reused to make ulcerated tree spirits. The thing is that 99% don’t even notice it until someone points it out. Elden ring is a big world and still managed to make more new enemy types than all previous Fromsoft games before so I don’t get the frustration. Especially when you have Moonlight Blade wielding magic breathing dragons or dragons that catch a lightning and uses it as a sword and shit. I could go on and on, but Elden ring was ambitious as heck and still delivered. The re using of assets is just absolute standard practice in game development

I went and replayed DS1 again recently, and seeing that sign made me so nostalgic lmao. Id love it if From just decided for a week or something to go vanilla and bring back all the crazy shit, like 1.5K souls for gargoyles, flipping havels, original crystal ring shield, etc

[@giofugazz]

All the following games are cooler to play, gameplay wise, but DS1 is something else man. Rushing through the map having no idea if you're going to the right direction only to land in an amazing area or just a new shortcut that will save your progress is a feeling unlike anything else.

[@ihatehandleupdate]

Yeah, I'm currently replaying Ds 1 after 3 Elden Ring, 5 Ds 2 and 2 Ds 3 playthroughs after a good 1.5 years and it felt so weird that you couldn't teleport anywhere right off the bat. It was also suprising to see that I killed bosses first try now that I struggled for hours and days with on my first few playthroughs. I really appreciate Dark Souls 1. It has a special vibe to it, knowing the lore of the later games, it really is interesting to walk among these huge, ''legendary" figures like Gwyn and Artorias.

[@2m7b5]

Yeah DS3 is my favorite, but DS1 is really a special game. It has such an unsettling, dreamy vibe, too.

[@eow4317]

Eh, I haven’t finished 3 yet but I still prefer this game’s gameplay

[@Luxalim]

I might be biased because I played Dark Souls back in 2011 but it's still a timeless masterpiece to me that I replay at least twice a year. The games world design and builds were so great.

[@truebacon133]

I love the world and lore in DS1 but the combat feels very boring and tbh very easy. Blight town was the biggest disappointment for me I heard so much about it and just breezed through it. I didn't play this game originally though. I played it after DS3, Bloodborn and Elden Ring.

To be honest I went into this video with low expectations, but wow it is very refreshing to see someone actually take their time to explore the world. I was pleasantly surprised. Whenever I watch this type of video everyone just tries rushing from boss to boss and don't take the time to explore the levels. Great video, would love to see more

[@Obversechaos]

It's nice to see someone play a game without looking things up or trying to min-max everything. Trying new things and exploring with little direction is how this game is meant to be played. That way every victory is your own and you get a lot more satisfaction from it. Good on you.

[@Thetruepianoman]

[@aceventura2154]

I'm literally here because these videos are coming up in my feed because im struggling slightly as a new player. Feeling a little more inspired though.

[@Obversechaos]

@@aceventura2154 The game is hard, but fair. If you're only struggling a little, you're doing better than most people. The best advice; can give you that you won't hear elsewhere is to be confident, but not overconfident. Too much confidence or too much fear will both get you killed. You want to be somewhere in the middle. Good luck to you 🍀

Only thing I've had to search up so far is the Capra Demon but I think that's permissable

11:38 You can slide down ladders by holding down the button you use to roll. Unlike in the other games you don't hold down the left analog stick.

[@Alkatraz242]

BRO💀 I played the whole damn game without knowing how to. I thought they didn't have the feature

[@aguafria9003]

You can also double tap it to do it automatically unlike other games where it just has you let go

[@Lehmuska]

The fact you slide down the ladders in DS1 with the same input as letting go of the ladder in later games is probably the primary reason people don't know you can slide down ladders in DS1.

[@84rinne_moo]

Played DS1 with my brother (a souls veteran) for the first time and even he was asking me “how did you slide down the ladder?”

[@st.haborym]

[@alexandermarin3217]

7:05, in dark souls, they are very particular about the difference between wyverns and dragons. There is only wings and legs, missing the arms, which separates them from dragons who have arms legs and wings (minus seeth as he's malformed but he still has arms)

[@happyjam92]

I think by the time elden ring came around I had souls fatigue. The original Dark Souls got me through the pandemic and it was an incredible challenge in a dark time with many many awesome experiences. I think I prefer the more linear form of progression for a souls game.

So true, it's quite easy to become a parry God in DS1 with practice. It's how I consistently kill most enemies including Gwyn.

Worth learning. I laughed at someone who told to just parry Gwyn, but then I put in a couple hours of practice on the silver knights and realized how easy it really is that even I can do it.

Little tip with the mimics, mimics are recognizable by the chain on the right of the chest, if the end faces to the back of the chest it´s not a mimic, if it faces the front it is one

[@justatanuki.6495]

Sliding down ladders in dark souls 1 is a stupidly obscure mechanic. You press the run/dodge/jump button once to descend ladders quickly unlike any other game

If you wanna spot a mimic just keep an eye on the chains next to the chests, mimics curl differently from normal chests, and if you pay close attention you can see them breathing slightly

Absolutely LOVED this game. I might like it more than 3 because there is something about the level design for DS1 and Bloodborne that I really enjoy where the entire map is connected, but not at first as you gotta beat certain bosses and find certain keys/levers to connect new areas to older areas. And something about the NPCs in this game just resonate more than others. I actually put DS1 up there now in my personal top tier of favorite games of all time. I think I put damn near 100 hours in just enjoying exploring and finding all the little details. Just a genuinely fantastic game.

Nice. I recently did something similar and tried out the souls series basically blind. But hadnt played any of the other games ether. Some small nuggets of advice that stopped me from uninstalling: Fastrolling in this game is a lot more important. There really is a tradeoff on going over 25% carryweight. And dont be afraid to look stuff up if you're stuck.

fast roll is good but not essential. Poise is way more useful. That's why I'd recommend new players grab the wolf ring asap. It makes a world of difference.

I will never say no to a DS1 series on KZbin
