Dark Souls 3 Finished In 35 Minutes - Speedrun 

so this means you can play the game and still be able to refund it on steam

It took me 35 minutes to kill the starting boss

-Babe we have 35 minutes to leave the house for meeting -Okay babe, lemme just finish the Ds3 real quick..

Hey, thanks for watching my video if you did! Thanks to IGN for giving me this opportunity! Any% has a few pretty broken glitches which makes for an interesting and technical run of Dark Souls III but there are also different categories if you are interested! I have read a few questions here and just to answer a few in general and to clarify some stuff: - The timer runs on "In-game time" which means the timer you see in the run represents the in-game timer that the game itself holds track of. You can see the timer in the Quit Game menu and also in your Save file of Dark Souls III. That timer stops in the main menu because being in the main menu doesnt actually count towards game time because you are not in the game, hence it pauses until the player is back in the game. - Quitting out of the game and reloading it skips long animations such as opening doors, pulling levers and is also used to cancel fall damage when falling to your death using Spook. - The entire run is done on a pretty old patch. (Patch 1.04 Reg 1.05). The advantage of this patch is that the Out of bounds glitch you see, called Teardrop, still works. Teardrop is a glitch that allows the player to bypass killboxes which is a volume in the shape of a box that is invisible but kills the player as you fall to your death. But, by using the "Tears of Denial" spell, we are able to negate the death from this volume by dropping into the killbox from a certain angle. The game gets confused and assumes the player is dead, putting the player in a state of being invisible (the player model despawns if you die) but since you are not actually dead, you are able to roam freely out of bounds. Also, Bleed damage is very overpowered in this patch. Hence Anri's Straight Sword is also used. The Estoc (starting weapon) also has a much higher attack speed and damage. NOTE: This is all patched on later patches. - Equipping and unequipping Anri's Straight Sword bypasses the healing -tick- that the sword has as being a blessed weapon healing you 2HP every tick. By unequipping and equipping the sword you are able to heal faster basically. - The final boss doesn't move because of a trigger that is being bypassed at after triggering the fight. By quitting out on the pillar just past the fog gate, the game gets confused as to where it should put the player back. Normally, if you quitout and reload, it should reload you -outside- the fog gate, but in this instance, it reloads you back in the actual boss room with having the trigger of activating the actual boss fighting back already being skipped. If you have any questions, feel free to message me or reply!

40 Mins for me im still creating the characters xD

Ashen one,the fire is fading again and a bunch of huge demon monsters rose from their grave, you have to go on this huge perilous journey to save the world "Aight just gimme 35 minutes"

You got 40 minutes before we leave for the concert !!! “More than enough”

The way these guys operate in the menus is insane

Took Me 35 min to learn the controls

Killing Gunder before he can even transform is quite impressive

For everyone complaining about him abusing glitches, this is an Any% run. This category of speedruns allows the use of any means necessary to get to the end of the game ASAP. You don't have to like it or validate it, it just is what it is...no need to get all self-righteous

Me reading the comments: 99% of people complain about people complaining about using glitches 1% actually complains about using glitches

It took him 1 min to defeat the princes wtf are u

95% of comments = people complaining about other people complaining about glitches

In the real life he had to waste something about 1000 hours of gameplay to get skills for this 35 min.

To everyone saying that the glitches make it not count do you know the point of an any% run? Go watch a different category if you dont like it.

Miyazaki: Am I a joke to you?

Damn, he finished dark souls faster than Nameless king finished me.

These kiddies think that the glitch run is easy lol

I still find this insanely impressive! Such a great run!

dark souls speedruns are so satisfying to watch

The amount of times he said it was a wasted run because his floating sprite missed a hill to "elevate" him to where he needed to be to cheese a whole area only to quit out of the game during a fall to make up on precious seconds was both impressive and sickening

This was very interesting, well played mate!

I need more games like this!! Short map but plenty things you can discover and challenging.

None of you people complaining about the use of glitches understand what an "Any%" speedrun is. Any% just means the speedrunner has to beat the game, they don't have to 100% it. Glitches are fine in an "Any%" run, but if it was an "Any% Glitchless" the run wouldn't count. Most of these glitches require frame-perfect timing, which is FAR FAR harder than just beating these bosses.

Yeah it says Any% which means it will use any exploits or glitches available. "Any% with glitches" would be redundant.

Praise the run!

50% of comments: people saying 95% of comments are people complaining about people complaining about glitches.

He finished the game. This is the whole point.

To everyone complaining about using glitches in these kinds of speed runs (Any% in this case) and claiming it ruins the experience or fun or "takes no skill"... think about this... To find these glitches you'd have to understand the game inside out. Meaning speed runners play the game so many times it's not even funny. Obviously they play the game normally the first time. To get a feel for the game and its mechanics. Then they dig deep by finding glitches, what works, what doesn't. Which walls can be clipped through, HOW these walls can be clipped through, what levels can be skipped, what bosses or fights can be skipped, etc. Some glitches actually demand frame perfect timing or pixel perfect positioning. It takes loads and loads of play time to discover these things. And FYI, there are different categories of speed runs. 100%, Any%, TAS (Tool Assisted), etc. Each one has different rules. If you wanna watch someone play the game properly without glitches, check out 100% speed runs. Those don't usually allow glitches or clipping through walls, as far as I know. In Any%, anything goes to achieve the fastest timing possible. Sure it's not for everyone, but that doesn't mean it "takes little to no skill" to do it.

The real job was to find the glitches,lol. Nice video. Although,I must mentioned that I literally screeeamed when I saw the last boss fight

90% of the comment section didn't read the description.

>complaining about glitches in any% speedruns in current year

Also, considering that the world record all bosses run is almost 3x as long, it’s kinda obvious that this is an any% run aka glitches allowed...

"this run is probably dead" IGN - **UPLOAD**

Priestess: shall thou be the one to link the flame? Player: sure, i was waiting for a friend but i got time to kill

Took me 1 hour to have a potato-lokking character.

I wonder who finds all those glitches 🤔

Dark souls 3’s map looks huge man i didn’t notice that while playing

I did not know you could glitch dark souls 3. I love glitches and will never again play the game normally. Thank You!

Someone needs to make a third person action game where you can't win all the fights by hitting the bosses arse with your sword.

the first 6 hours was me trying to make my character attractive

I didn't see dat last one coming but still, u have great skills, i don't mind those glitches since it's a speed run so obviously u would do anything to finish fast

You truly feel being a speedruner

This comment section is what you get from putting a speedrun on IGN.

I spent 2 hours to kill a first boss but you do it in 1 min.Respect!

I spend a whole day for killing the frozwn boy and you made in 1 minute or less its amazing

u are crazy man.. this is awsome

Tries to use glitch *goes hollow*

For those who are curious, the speedrun WR for glitchless, all bosses is 1 hr and 20 mins

Farem Watchers being one of the most frustrating bosses for me. That fight at the end of this run had me wincing.

beat dark souls 3 today, 40 hours of total gameplay :D

You Guys are crybabies. This is Any% so he is allowed to use all the glitches he is able to find lol

I love it when ign commenters act like they know a thing about speedrunning

this guy could casually finnish the game while his mom is waiting for him for dinner

insane guy good job!!!

Nutty ma guy

84 hours is my first DS3 speedrun xD

Also love the willow the wisp sections

Nice Run. Why he equip/unequip the sword?

Lmao... people saying they want to see a legit run in 35 minutes? Lmao..... clearly not possible without glitches. Any% means anything is ok to finish the run. This includes glitches, bugs, and even skipping bosses.

Ds3 behind the scenes

wait youre supposed to use stormruler on yhorm? i didnt even know it was in the arena, i just soul speared his face.

Takové lidi obdivuji respekt.

Here for the "I spent 35 mins on character creation screen" comments.

So is quitting out faster than opening the door or what’s the logic here? Serious question

It took me 70 hours to finish the game and this guy just speeds trough it all.

In my first run of DS3 at the minute 35 I still changing the hair color...

40 hrs in and still at dragon slayer armor :(

WtF happened to the boss in the end anyways xD

All I see is a spark of flame try to link the fire, by floating around the map.

Ive never played any Dark Souls or Bloodborne.. I plan to but which game should i get first? Like, start from the start? Or is there a clearly superior game amongst them all?

People know that glitch is part of the game right??!..

At job interview. What talents do you have? I can beat Dark souls 3, 5 times inless than 4 hours

Has the Road of Sacrifices glitch been patched? Or more likely that I’m doing it wrong?

how did he get grand archives key wthout killing all the needed bosses?

NOW DO THAT ON CONSOLE

Um the quality says HD but all I see is potato

But can you do it on a DDR dance mat?

Half of the run is the start of the game screen

What happened with Anri straight sword +2? lol

It took me 35 mins to pass the intro.

This isn't a speed run,is a glitch run

The game graphic still shocked me till this day.. it's too evolutionary and i loved it

This was impressive but so are traditional speed runs.

Wtf was that ending..?

A little journey of a light

This game is pure art

You know the gaming community is on a downward spiral when people complain about glitches on speedruns. It's pretty sad seeing someone talking about something he doesn't have any idea about. People shouldn't have freedom of speech about issues they know nothing or not enough.

wow Nice Job ouo

Lmao he was just a floating soul for 50-60% of the run, so that’s what a DarkSoul looks like

I understand this must be stressful, but man he complained a lot and still beat his best time. "Well im done, who should i host now?" XD

35 minutes glitch run.

I don't understand speedruns where you have to use glitches to bypass half of the game. How is that impressive? No saying that there are things is this that isn't impressive.

Eh.....How did you get thunder magic in game one to fight with Vordt

Learning to parry would take me more than 35 mins

100% of Comments = The Comment Section

what, you couldn't complete the game in 34 minutes? unimpressive

took me that long to get to the curse rotted greatwood

6:40 - guy is just casually butt stabbing the boss, the highest level of disrespect lmao
