Dark Souls: Gravelord Sword All Bosses Speedrun 

Thanks now I have a itch to go play dark souls

Question for u if I leave the covenant will I lose the sword?

@@grimboi1581 nope, I always join the forest covenant for sif. Keeps the sword.

@@puffmogie you're the only person I know to respond to someone after a year good on you

It's a speedrun,after all

Lol I did it first try with the black knight greatsword

The boss is easy if you summon Solaire, did it in one go too

Of course he's going to beat the game faster than you can kill O&S, because he's a trained speedrunner ._.

@@kaspersaldell it was directed as a compliment of his practice and abilities. Of course He's gonna be faster then me 🙄.

@@PrivateJoker0119 yeah 2 on 2 is way easier just try to avoid summons cause...dark souls 🤷 idk lol

Thanks! Yeah I just did this run for fun. That's why I didnt pick up RTSR so I didn't have to worry about dying at all. It def would make a lot of fights a lot faster though, especially the DLC bosses. As far as getting the chaos servant bonfire though it's way faster to run down to Blighttown twice rather than getting the bonfire and having to ride the elevators all the way back up to Firelink haha

Can’t you just light it without resting at it though?

@@CHEEKYHAMST3R the daughter of chaos bonfire is already lit, besides you need to have rested on a bonfire to be able to warp to it

Lol same here

Yeah I had that save file to try and get 1 of every weapon in the game. I dont think I finished it though Haha

@@riflevalentine1598 i am currently doing that in ds3 with every weapon +10/+5 with every infusion... its over 160 new game plus cycles i gotta go through.. and no.. using the catarina slab glitch is not allowed.

@@nevilgod Damn. I wish you luck on that journey! That's serious dedication to have them all upgraded to max as well.

@@riflevalentine1598 after run 16 (im on 6 now) it will be simple actually cus i just need to rush slabs cus ill have enough of the weapons that you can get once per playthrough which are infusable the main issue right now is...... new game plus.... sucks c:

also ill get back to this comment once this mostrosity has been completed i plan to stream it again cus i used to a while back but my internet isnt good enough at the moment... tho this all will still take a LOT of time

Yeah the damage ends up not being great and it sucks killing titanite demons for upgrade material, but the moveset and the look of the sword more than make up for all that.

I actually really like the moveset personally. The running attack is quick and the R2 poke is also a really fun attack to use every now and then. The first R1 can be slow but once you chain attacks together it works pretty well.

@@riflevalentine1598 that’s true about chaining attacks. You can stun lock pretty well with it. Just gotta make sure you have some poise for that first hit

I love using the ninja flip ring. I also love having the black knight helmet on all the time Haha

24 strength is required to use it with one hand. If you two hand the weapon you can have a lower strength stat and still use the weapon.

Pinwheel is actually suprisingly tough at a low level haha

Lots of practice haha

Overall I would say Black Knight Halberd is way easier of a run. It does way more damage and getting twinkling titanite is really easy. Gravelord sword is dangerous to get early because of the catacombs. Also demon titanite is way harder to obtain because you have to kill the titanite demons. Personally though I love the look and moveset of the gravelord sword so I enjoy using it.

@Lightning Animations Gold tracer is amazing as well. I use it in my glitchless all bosses speedruns. Its attack speed and bleed is unreal Haha

What damage are you specifically asking about?

As far as damage output yes. It has way better scaling and you can buff it with resin or spells. At the end of the day though it's all about finding a weapon you like the appearance and moveset of, so either one could be considered "better". At least in my opinion.

@@riflevalentine1598 awesome to know, it's great you're still replying after all this time as well! Great speed run vid btw Is there anyway I can make it even stronger without the resin and stuff? I watched the vid but I couldn't quite see what you used

@angrymeowmeow The only thing you can do with the gravelord sword is upgrade it to +5 with demon titanite. Titanite demons drop it, and there's also some chests in Anor Londo that have some as well. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Pretty much yes. You can toxic Stray Demon and Firesage Demon but it really doesnt do much.

I like to run the game without glitches personally.

I'm not 100% sure but I would assume if you upgraded a claymore to +15 it would do more damage because it has better scaling than the Gravelord Sword. Also with a claymore you can add resins or spell buffs which you cant do to the Gravelord Sword.

@@riflevalentine1598 I see. Thanks. I have a +10 claymore and keep dying to Qualaag and your sword seemed to do 10x the damage im doing lmao

@@keepitsecretce4954 Yeah that's because the Gravelord Sword has really high base damage. Which makes it really good for low stats at the beginning of the game. Once you start getting into late game though you can notice the damage starts to drop off and weapons with better strength and dexterity scaling become the better option.

If you get the gravelord sword to +5 it is nearly stronger or stronger than all the weapons

@@Zzvsk per hit yes, but it’s a pain to get the demon titanite and the move set makes it not all that worth it

Yeah no i didnt know that either😅🤣

Yeah it's a pretty sweet reward for beating Ornstein and Smough Haha

Yeah im following this to the letter tho im still struggling my a$$ off!! But its great so far thanx man!

If you 2 hand the weapon you can still use the sword with less strength. If you notice when I only have it in one hand theres a red x on it but when I 2 hand it I can use the weapon like normal.

Ohhh

Two-handing a weapon virtually increases strength by 50%. Which means that if you pick the requirement, divide by 1.5 and then round up (if needed), you get the min. requirement for two-handing a weapon. 24/1.5 = 16

Damn bro why so toxic just look at the length of the video
