25 Secrets In Dark Souls That You Probably Missed 

That amounts of times I've cussed myself for accidentally kicking and now I finally have a use for it!

Oooo that is interesting, u did know you get slightly different cutscenes depending on the order but I always do the Undead Church first, will definitely have to try this on my next playthrough!

At the time of recording i had brain fart and said the wrong name, you are 100% correct the NPC inside the golden golem is indeed Sieglinde, and not her father Siegmeyer!

@@libralonix Pretty good list, though. It always surprises me that people keep finding secrets and hidden details 12-13 years after the game's original release.

Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you found the video (or at least spme of it) illuminating 😎

100% agree with you! And this is one of the reason why i love making these videos. You can be brand new to the series or a 10 year veteran and there are still things to learn. ARPG is a genre I wouldn't have touched with a 10 foot barge pole as a kid, and thanks to FromSoftware it's now one of my favourite genres and game series!

@@libralonix Same here. I started with Dark Souls (The Prepare To Die edition no less) and after hours of retraining my brain from other hack n slash games, it finally clicked and I fell in love. After that, I was compelled to go out and purchase the rest of the trilogy, Demon's Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro! Fromsoft's games very quickly skyrocketed into my top ten game franchises of all time!

Ah, you are 100% correct regarding it being Sieglinde and not her father Siegmeyer in the Dukes Archive Golden Crystal Golum, this was just my aged brain letting me down once again!

@@libralonix just a slight mishap, still a good video altogether. Good job my dude.

Yeh once the four Kings are defeated I think your right in that you can walk freely without the ring ring on 👍

It's always time for another Dark Souls 1 playthrough!

That's awesome, glad you liked it!

Thank you so much QT!

Yeh this is true, the video does cover this, but I visually focused on the mimics as we've all been had by that one......unfortunately lol

@@libralonixyou can not get grabbed at all. First off you can tell which is a mimic and which isn’t by the chain on the side. A chain with the loop ending out is a mimic, curled in is not. Also if it is a mimic throwing a Lloyds talisman at it will cause it to sleep and give up the goods

@Dan82W Yeh i've covered this in a more recent video too, always appreciate the tips though! keep 'em coming 😎

This little nugget of information was actually told to me by a viewer on one of my live streams, sorry to say I didn't discover it on my own!

Same here, as i have predominantly played the game in offline mode it was a nice little surprise when i found out about it!

That is a really cool bit of lore about Pinwheel, i really need to do a deep dive on the lore at some point. Such an interesting game when you start to look into it!

I did not, i don't think I've ever had the need/thought to go and talk to him again, well that's one for the next playthrough! Right just a few more and i can get another "secrets" video done!

@@libralonix if that's the case...did you know that after you talk to him in anor londo and defeat O&S. You can meet Solaire at Sunlight altar where he'll invite you to join the Sunlight warriors covenant, provided you have the requirements?

Yeh this one i did know!

Colour me intrigued...... I know of the method utilising sorcery, but I wasn't aware of a way to do this with melee. How would that even work given that Kalameet is in the air the whole time? Feel free to drop any relevant links for videos showing this method!

@@libralonix It works with melee because of Dark Souls hitboxes... 😃

@@barendolneznami So the footage in this video predominantly showcases the sorcery (ranged) strat. There is one very short clip where they are wielding a melee weapon but the footage doesn't actually show an attack with this weapon making contact and damage being taken (even if the commentator says thats whats happening, we need to be able to see it happen preferably multiple times), it does interest me though that they are claiming the hitbox for the tail comes down far enough to the ground to melee attack it, its definitely worth testing more. I really appreciate you taking the time to look this up, but as it stands i still don't see any evidence of actually being able to melee attack Kalameet, let alone it being a quicker method than either the strat in my video or the sorcery strat.

@@libralonix Another link to PTDE All bosses WR: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--XwR1bq6Zi8.htmlsi=5gUBECe6RbW9yUP0&t=2325

That just means I'll have to work even harder to find better secrets for the next video!

It is indeed a handy little one to know about!

I actually discovered this recently while testing some shields out against Taurus demon, never tried to block against him before as i always figured it was a death wish! Definitely going to add this one to my next "secrets" video

@@libralonix I defended it because I have a habit of leaving my shield up, even though I imagine the same thing as you

I will definitely be checking out which enemies/bosses class as "giants" and trigger this somersault!

@@libralonix Iron golem does this

I'll add him to the list! Appreciate the info thank you, let me know if you find/know of any more!

It always surprises me just have vast Dark Souls 1 is, the secrets just keep on coming!

@@libralonix The thing is I was a huge fan since the release on xbox 360 and I'm still learning

You are 100% correct, as mentioned in another reply I had a total brain fart and said the wrong name during the recording, what's even more annoying is that my script has the correct name, so I only have my aged brain to blame! lol

Unfortunately not (or at least I couldn't when I tried)

Ohhhhhhh Yes!

Yeh i only recently learnt about that summon too, just underneath the stairs before the boss fight yeh? Or is there another one i don't know about?

@@libralonix yeah that one she scared me at 1st but as far as I know that's the only time she shows up in the whole game

@@kingstrat5416 I still haven't used her yet, but I think I might do an "All-Summons" run soon just for funsies!

@@libralonix that sounds cool maybe I'll see some summons I missed lol an all you have to do is dodge some projectiles she spams soul arrows an poor mothra doesn't start a chance

@@kingstrat5416 I do really love the summons mechanic in these games, but very rarely get the opportunity to use them

Appreciate it, thank you! Any surprises for you on this one? Or am I going to have to work even harder on the next video?

Indeedio, i assume its so that you have the option to do other things before being chucked into the prison cell, as you can no longer warp out of that room once you have the scripted death with Seath. Its a nice little touch, plus as i covered in another video there is a developer message on the floor to the left when you enter Seaths room that says "try resignation"!

Just to confirm, are you saying you enter the abyss, then remove the artorias ring (whiich allows ypu to "traverse the abyss") and it doesn't kill you?

@@libralonix when i am in the abyss not when i enter in the boss area

@@rizzer-vendrip Is this during the boss fight or after you have defeated the four kings?

during @@libralonix

This in no way is me inferring your not telling the truth, but is there any chance you may be able to record this interaction please, as this is not how this is supposed to work. I have personally tested it (including for this video) several times, and every time I remove the ring in the abyss my character dies. If you could also confirm what version of the game and what platform you are playing on as well that would be great!

Well that's 2 reasons to dive back into Dark Souls 1! 👍

@@libralonix good video by the way, didn't mean to sound condescending

@@lashed1980 No your all good mate, I genuinely didn't take it that way at all!

I spent way, way, WAY TOO LONG trying to do that pesky lava skip! NEVER AGAIN!

She is a good'un!

The ring of sacrifice stops you losing your souls and humanities on the life that you lose them. What I was showing was that if its used after you have died, it will allow you another death before the first lifes souls disappear

Balalalalalalala

Thanks 😎

Noice! Check out my latest 25 secrets video and see if you know all those too! I'm sure there will be a few that you didn't know before!

So I've always assumed Sif was female as the name is of a Norse Goddess. Doing a bit if research it is never confirmed either way, but with languages that have gender based names the male version of Wolf is used. But as Dark Souls is lightly inspired in Norse mythology I would say its still a fair bet that this is where the name Sif originates from. But as its not confirmed one way or the other I guess we can both be right 😎

​@@libralonixI always assumed it was a mistranslation from a lack of gender specificity in the Japanese, like Long Bow Oolan, Pharis and Lady Maria (Ostrava's dialogue, Pharis' hat description and old hunter bone description)

Whats the question? When you are being held by a grab attack (including mimics) if you quickly tap LB, RB, LB, RB repeatedly, you will be released from the grab early, and take less damage. Hope that helps!

​@@libralonixOk

Took me by surprise the first time i saw it too!
