Dark Souls - Fire and Chaos Weapon Guide 

Damn, this video was made in November 2011, that's only 2 months after the release of this game! I did not expect anyone to be as far into this game without any guides at the time of this video's creation.

I LOVE HOW I GET DOWN HERE I START TALKING TO HIM A SKELETON COMES OUT BEHIND ME SLICES HIM AND ME I CANT MOVE HE HAS ME CORNERED I TURN AROUND TO ENGAGE I HIT THE BLACKSMITH BY COMPLETE ACCIDENT HE FUCKING ATTACKS

You know what I like about Vamos? The guy's past the point of being considered hollow, yet his manliness expresses itself beyond the very scope of complete unlife itself. He even went & forged himself a blacksmith's beard, & went so far as to coat each of his bones in a metal, so they wouldn't rot away by air exposure. The next time you go down into the catacombs, take a second to look, REALLY LOOK, at this epitome of "Fuck you Undeath" manhood. Vamos, the best irate blacksmith in fiction.

And this only takes 79 hours to do...

The slimes in the Depths are my favourite farming spot, actually, for both Green Titanite Shards and Large Titanite Shards. Very easy, very quick, very safe. Run out of the bonfire room, cut down the torch hollow, run to the other end of the hall to make the slimes fall down and kill the other torch hollow in the passage, run back into the middle of the slimes, cast Chaos Storm, reap rewards, repeat. Plus if I want to farm Humanity as well, I can run downstairs and butcher the rats while I'm at it.

Well, what is it? I'll tell you what it is! It's a tutorial on how to get red titanite chunks and a slab for my chaos zwiehander ;)

That armor jingling is so calming.

"Vamos" means "let's go" in Spanish

Since this video seems particularly popular (probably because of the back and forth trolling lol!) does anybody need/want guides for the DLC content? I figure there's already lots of videos by now, though, so not sure if it will be worth doing.

You dont need to be chaos servant 2+ to open the door, if you approach from the back you can open it as well. Also, personally i farm the red titanite chunks from the flower pot monsters

THIS is how you make a guide, for anything. Great job man... Thanks.

I did the same thing on my first playthrough. I didn't want to throw that out there, though, because some people on youtube get irate at video makers when things don't go their way.

at 0:18 it irritated me more than it should have that you didn't get that loot -_-

It's pretty good for the price (15 bucks). It's more challenging, in my opinion. Also, the DLC has some advantages like easier access to certain materials like Blue Titanite Slabs. Besides that, there are some really good weapons, sorceries, and pyromancy spells that you can get from the DLC areas.

2:20 i almost had a heart attack when i walked down this peaceful corridor and these worms appeared O:

as for farming shards and chunks: the easiest way to require shards and chunks is by farming the black knights at the kiln of the first flame (before the end boss) the knight with the greatsword will drop red chunks and the knight with the axe will drop blue chunks if you haven't joined the darkwraiths you can talk to kingseeker framt at the firelink shrine and make him chew the blue and red (?) chunks into green titanite shards this method is fairly easy and cheap in the end game

what the... someone actually made a GOOD guide video...? you sir, are now one of my favorites on youtube.

You can get regular Titanite Slabs as a rare drop from the Darkwraiths in New Londo, I suggest equipping the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring before trying though.

so idk if your answer has been answered yet kinda old comment but his build in this video is called a vitality dump you get the stats to use a certain elemental weapon usually a katana and dump every other spare point into vitality works insanely well

I think most of us have finished the dlc. But what would be great is if someone could show us short vids on the secrets of the dlc. Great videos btw.

That awesome moment when you discover some of the best Dark Souls guides... released nearly a year ago. :O

Whats the difference between Chaos Fire and normal Fire?

Even though I knew all this, still a really good guide to use if you dont

for chaos ember, strong magic shield works fine too :)

Wow they editing is really good and stylized on these videos, especially the info text. I already knew where the Chaos ember was but couldn't remember the Fire one. Thanks.

@RynKen +10 fire has higher base damage, but +5 chaos will do more damage if you have 10 or more humanity because that's what it scales with.

One of the best walkthroughs i've seen. If I didn't know, I would have assumed that this walkthrough was made by FromSoftware or Namco...

That was the only video that i saw with honest tags , and GREAT guide btw. Thanks for the help.

Your pretty good at doing guides, youlle be surprised how many guide videos there that just dont explain the HOW TO part which basically is the whole point of it, anyways great vid!!

Awesome. I'll totally think about getting it then! Thanks for the help, I hope you're looking forward to Dark Souls 2 as much as I am.

1:44 you can also simply run through and suicide off the edge after you got the ember if you don't want to hassle yourself over killing the worms

the blacksmith in anor londo can make your weapons into lightning. it takes titanite chunks to upgrade it

Yes I myself would appreciate such a guide.

one is from laurentius, the other is from the egg guy near quelaags sister. You have to have the egg on your head and he will give you a cure and if you talk to him again the pyro glove.

this is an amazing review a very high quality one if i do say the resolution could be a little better but amazing job very very helpful amazing job

The Darkmoon Bow, obtained by ascending a +10 bow with the soul of Gwyndolin in Anor Londo

Hey what bow/arrows are you using? and i love you're videos they are helping me so much/ going to help me :D. I just got into dark souls and im kinda struggling on my first playthrough but i feel that these will help, so keep it up :).

Used this for DS1R in 2020 Thanks for helping me get my +5 chaos Zweihander ;)

@BlackHolyday24 The Darmoon bow, after killing Gwyndolin you have to ascend a random +10 bow with the soul of Gwyndolin and it will make this bow (strongest bow in the game)

Best Dark Soul guide video

does a weapon have to be +5 or +10 to make it a fire weapon?

Your guides are awesome bro :)

At +5 you can make a divine weapon. You need a divine ember for that, It's at the top of the stairs at the end of the bridge where you killed the moonlight butterfly. For lighting you make it +10 and go to the giant blacksmith in Anor londo. You need I Think green titanite for it, You can buy it from him aswell for quite a low price. For fire (Not reccomended if you don't have no divine weapon) Head into the Catacombs down from where the graveyard is near Firelink. Light the bonfire. And

I just meant to say LoK isn't as obscure as people think, I do agree that it is a shame that no-one ever talks about it often though. And yeah I'll be interested to see that, I think I'll be making my own list too. :)

I got it now, thanks a lot! the ring is helping me a loooooooot

For the 4 worms there is actually a spot smackdown in the middle between the two farthest in which you can shoot them all from and don't have to run by at all.

@mhfuXmonsta All the materials and stuff he mentions are if you wanna make both +10 fire weapon AND a +5 chaos weapon.

Wow, for a game that looks so dark, the main menu music sounds very pleasant.

after you help Siegmeyer in Lost Izalith she will be back in firelink again and says she found her dad and he has gone again. then you have to go to Ash lake and she gives you a titanite slab! but a bit of a sad ending I wont spoil.

Wow what an amazing guide. If only all DS walkthroughs were like this one.

@ilvsas From the second black knight you face at the kiln of the first flame. make sure you have the covetous gold serpent ring equipped, it's a guaranteed drop every time.

@TheSambion then it is probably thhe Dragonslayer Greatbow, terrifying power, but if your against those slow shootings then I would recommend the Darkmoon bow

Pretty nice guide, very well detailed. Good job. ^^

@ReconQ8 catacombs is from firelink shrine go through the graveyard bit and its down that area....sorry its a bit vague

At 2:14, I usually just make a mad dash past the two worms infront of me to the chest, get the ember, then homeward bone out.

Also you can Use both the giant blacksmith and the Catacombs skeleton guy blacksmith, to Make you a soul weapon! 10+ Needed for that

@thomfuzzy The black nights only drop the normal titanite slabs as a rare drop not any of the other slabs and it is a 1 in 1000 chance of finding it if you have your item discovery rate maxed out by using the ring and 10 humanity. Itt is not worth farming for them

Pure quality, great job Byakokoko :]

Is the DLC worth getting? I'm about 3 quarters done my first playthrough! :)

@ahm317 It looks like the Moonlight arrows, You can buy them from the Giant smith in Anor Londo.

Hello iam New to dark souls the skeletons always kill me quickly and easily iam a beginner so please don't laugh at my question how do you get the skeletons to stay down dead like the rest of the zombie like caricatures I have racing the 2 bells and have the lighting spear but they are still difficult to kill is there a better way it.looks like you have a good handle on this game so I feel confident in getting the right answer thank you

You dont need the ring to get the chaos amber, it's in the lava but you can quickly roll in, loot it and roll out of the lava, i know i did it before killing the centipede boss.

You're awesome, man. Watching this made me feel like a total noob lol.

@MegaBlablabla888 Chaos weapons scale from how much humanity you have in your counter. The more humanity you have the more damage increase you get.

I remember when I loved videos like this,but after all of the videos with commentary i kinda dont like vids without one,but good video still

How can you possibly dislike this?! Great Guide!

@SilvaTone2203 anor londo go up the stairs in the corridor before orenstien and smough then go thru the small window broken then jump into the gate with the item across (tricky jump and ull need homeward bone)

Really good guide. Which of these would be better for a zweihander?

Fucking subscribed. Awesome to see someone put such effort into videos like this.

You need to have saved dusk, killed the blue respawning golem near the first bonfire in the dukes archives and killed the hydra in the lower lvls of the forest area. Head to the place where the golden golem was in the forest cave and you should be able to get to the location

You can get chaos emer also by having ninja flip ring on and some fire resistance gear.

Concerning which upgrade path is the best... it really depends on the enemy you're fighting and your own play-style. For example, fire is almost useless in blighttown and against any enemy that is fire-based, but does INSANE amounts of damage in the darkroot garden/oolicile areas. And divine weapons destroy the enemies in the tomb of the giants, but doesn't do as much against the enemies in anor londo (still does a good bit). It really just depends on the build you're going for and the weapon you're upgrading.

if u have Dex build then Uchi Normal +15 and Crystal +5 are good as they scale vs Dex. Chaos weapon dont scale and has base damage of 195 phys +225 magic (chaos +5) but it doesnt scale. Chaos blade however does scale vs Dex (B scale, not as good as Uchi A Scale)

@lendial the black knights drop slabs of blue, red, white, and normal but it's a really rare drop. Idk if you can get the normal slabs from them so idk

Don't do the rol if you go to Vamos, just walk straight down the stairs, so you'll fall down. That's the best way not to mess up

You're going to have to either wait till NG+ or restart. He's the only blacksmith who can upgrade a weapon to +10.

Yeah Dark Souls and Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver are in my top 4 favourite games of all time along with BioShock and The Darkness, but it's not true that no one knows about LoK Soul Reaver is actually one of the best selling game series of all time (look up "List of best-selling Playstation games" on Wikipedia, it's in the top half of the list).

If you are going after the lg. fire ember, you can easily run past those enemies and use a homeward bone.

Why this video feels nostalgic

Then keep going from the bridge till you find the second bonfire in the catacombs. I Say wait till you have the Lordvessel so you can warp back to firelink And the black smith is down the stairs in one of the doors. Make sure you roll onto the ledge since it is really dark. There you go!

@js100serch but you should make the chaos blade instead of the fury sword if you have a good dex, the chaos blade is one of the strongest weapons in the game

Depends, if you chose a Sorcerer as your beginning class. Your soul level can be bumped to 714.

Nicely done, man! A good player in Tekken and fan of dark souls ! really good work!

Gwyndolins Moonlight Bow with Moonlight Arrows. Any +10 bow with Gwyndolins Soul. You'll lose the ability to join the Blades of the Darkmoon covenant and the Firekeeper at the beginning of Anor Londo

Beautifully made video.

@doujinftw2 Chaos blade is made using quelaag's soul with the giant blacksmith.

Hm, I knew all of this, yet I still watched the entire video.

watching this video 10 years later

after you kill the silver knights for him he goes back to firelink shrine and will give you a miracle (emit force) then he goes to blightown near the entrance to great hollow, and will ask for some mosses. give them to him and he gives you his shield. then he goes to lost izalith.

yeah it's the song that plays when you create a new character or load your saves. still - in my opinion it's the theme ^^

If you didn't kill him yet I think you can absolve your sins and he can do it for you. If you did however you should finish the game and start a NG+

Also you can just look at the rock at 0:35 and walk at it. You will still land on it.

Unfortunately no, it can only be upgraded but not ascended with any element. Even though, you'll be better off with the claymore in later levels than the gravelord sword.

You can, if you wish, obtain the orange charred ring by simply cutting off the centipede demons tail. It's useful in that fight anyway.

Flames weapons just do fire damage, Chaos weapons scale with humanity capping out at 10. So the more humanity you have the more damage Chaos weapons do.

2:15, you can stand in between them and halberd their tusks? from an angle safely. works faster in my experience.

Theres a vast majority of walk throughs on this that seem confusing, while all the locations are fine and dandy knowing what to do with them is something else. Why couldn't someone just say: first you see sword, next watch me add 5 additional items, then add this and that. all i know is just raise the weapon til you either get lucky or not.

Nice! Can you tell me what's the soundtrack that was used in this video?

Nice Jin Kazama picture!

your video was amazing great quality, sound and very helpful
