Gravity. Your worst enemy in Dark Souls.

[@ThatCasualCanadian]

A few pointers If you ever do this again Start with the Master key, It skips the annoying part of Blight town that you did there, so you can do Qeelag faster Try to get the Wolf Ring. It gives you free poise (40 to be exact) Invest in some Stamina. And if you are fat rolling, try removing stuff like Gloves and Helms. Speed with a Zwei is a good thing. I wont ask you to get the Chlorenty Ring since you have a thing for Gravity (Srsly tho Everyone did so Don't sweat it), But In the Forest theres a Shield that Gives you More Stamina Regen. Their small things, a bit out of your way but they would compliment your approach a lot. If you ever want a hand let me know or some shit. Good run tho. Also use a controller. Keyboard is kinda ass compared to it

[@SrRagde]

yes, yes, those are very good advice for everyone but asmon. He probably knows about all of that shit because he did do some very deep searching and practising before this run, he just chose not to do those things. He did start with the master key but chose to not skip the sewers, he doesn't care about fatroll because he doesn't even roll to begin with, he also doesn't care about having stamina in the early game because tbh its not needed, he just one shots everything with the zweih, also he tried the controller and didn't enjoy it.
