Dark Souls III by COLTrane45 in  

Runner introduction starts at 1:32. Run starts at 6:09.

I find myself coming back to this run consistently time after time. One of my favourite GDQ runs.

This looks like a nice easy, casual game.

I just saw on the leaderboards that COLTrane got the world record a couple of days ago on 1h 16m 54s. That is real nice!

Couch commentary was fantastic, runner personality and commentary was great. Great fun to watch!

I love how Cole barely stopped smiling at any point of this run.

the bizzarre adventures of fiona: part 3: green crusaders

I really appreciate all the extra commentary, explanation, context, etc. from the couch dudes.

You know you gotta have a real gamer in the hotseat when they've memorised the stats for what their character looks like and each character is made of like 50 numbers between 0 and 255.

You know, I wasn't too sure about this run.....and then I saw her face. Now I'm a believer....that this run was going to be a trip from the start

I died to the dancer about 500 times. And then I watch him walking through the spin attack. OK.... Instantly mindblown.

>makes ogre >skips swamp :c

Who the hell PBs during a GDQ? Amazing.

Must say, this is an epic reboot of Shrek!

"AND THAT WAS IT, LET'S GO!" "That was not it..."

the pure joy on his face at 1:16:40 when he does that impressive vine skip is so damn wholesome.

Props for the respect to Distortion.

Tremendous respect and admiration for all Soulsborne speed runners. I love watching them all, regardless of strategies or skips.

First try Wilhelm, what a beast of a runner late congrats on the PB, holy moly :0

loved the run but the prize guy at the end stole the show for me, went to make a coffee once the run was done and come back to this legend

37:10 Itharyll of the Robeal Llavey.

I love how he looks happy all the time lol

Wow, those skips execution!

This is truly the Dark Souls of Speedruns.

Here half to enjoy the run, half to enjoy the sight of people stuck together without the worry of covering their faces.

Runner's casting was better than all casters' combined

Small lore correction: Lorian did not become crippled after fighting the Demon Prince. The dude is so gut that really only his sword was harmed. However, he became like you see him in the game after he decided to support Lothric’s decision to not link the fire and somehow “shared his curse”. It’s not exactly clear what happened, but for sure they share one soul among them. Maybe it was some final push from the royal family to make Lothric into someone capable of linking the fire, thus they fused his soul with his brother’s, making both of them crippled, but enough to be the Lord of Cinder.

What an awesome guy performing this great run! I think you are a very likeable person and you did a great job! One of the (if not the) most entertaining speedruns I ever saw! :-) best wishes to you!

I wasn’t going to watch this as I thought I’d seen every run of DS3, boy am I glad I didn’t miss out.

Such a fantastic, humble runner. Great couch, too. What a solid run.

Ok, but can we talk about the balls of walking into the Nameless Kings attack at 1:42:45 while chugging drank, having him miss by inches, thenending the animation in time to dodge the second hit and go in for the kill? That actually made my eyes pop out like an old school cartoon character.

Omg I loved the character creation :) Princess Fiona rocks! The run was also really good :)

Is that Big John hosting? That’s awesome.

"Depending on which of the two you kill first, changes the second phase of the boss fight. That's something we've haven't seen in a souls game yet" yup, never seen it before. Especially not in the most famous boss from the first game. Nope, never seen it. Demon prices was the first, totally.

How much flex tape is needed to fix those enemies? That's a LOT OF DAMAGE

Never played before but after watching. I bought it. Seems like a good time

I was sure you gonna miss old demon king - didn't expect him to go down so fast lol. Great run

When I see gael movements I can't stop remembering guts in berserk armor...

Love the dude doing the voice over. Great voice and great personality

Man the commentary is gold with this run.

I almost thought he missed crystal sage at the end, but nope, it just went by too fast for me to realise.

this is the best couch commentary i’ve seen

The guy explaining time zones and there being other countries/places existing, having different time zones as well. Was probably talking to the Americans. Love it

This is the first DS game i ever finished. Watching him burst him through is bringing back every memory i had at once lol... so many deaths...

Fantastic run, love the category. Congrats on the PB!

Think I need to get me some sellsword twinblades

53:12 Oh look, it's the bane of my existence

As someone who has always wanted to finish Dark Souls 3, this was inspirational.

I usually skip to the start of the run but then I heard Big John

3:32 Bruh! That is not an "L" it is a capital "i". Iudex means "judge" and gund is "battle". He is the "Judge of Ash Gundyr" in the japanese version. It's literally just a test battle for the ashen one.

After working on the Soul of Cinder for a year, seeing it done in a minute hurts.

Love that he got a pb on this run

This dude is actually insane!

I thought this was going to be his Giant steps speedrun. Where can I find that?

That dancer fight was perfect

Would’ve loved to see someone explain more lore on the couch but good run nonetheless!

Great run. Love the chill commentary.

not the fact that he speedruns this amazes me....but that he speedruns with fucking mouse and keyboard

This was a fantastic run

I died to dancer about 30 times before beating her. I don't know how they make it look so simple. So Impressive

The pain Trane coming for dark souls! That’s what I’m talking about baby! Esketittt!! Woooooo!!!!!

If Shrek's stories were written by H. P. Lovecraft, they would be like this!

One of my favorite franchises

Is it just me or does Slave Knight Gael have attacks that are the same as or that look similar to the ones that Knight Artorias from Dark Souls 1 has?

Should have called it All Bosses, lore% run

PRAISE THE SUN, ANOTHER SOULSBORNE RUN!

This is just like DARK SOULS

You can open that door in ariandel. The door inside the chapel with this glitch ? Normal it opens from the other side. Trough the basement

Is that GameJ06 on mic!? Awesome man, perfect for the job :3

Shrek glanced at the small white flower in his hand. It had been nearly 5 years since Fiona had linked the fire, and her sacrifice had saved Far Far Away from destruction. But the wound still hurt. However, the day was beautiful, and he knew Fiona would want him to enjoy the light she had fought to her last breathe to save. He glanced at the sunset, and let the flower fall to the ground. "What's wrong, daddy?" the little ogre said to her father, clutching his shirt. It was clear to Shrek that she could feel the quiet melancholy that had filled the room. "Ah, oh, nothin' chield. Just thanking aboot yar muthar. Say, do you wanna hear a story?"

The game: the age that holds everyone you ever loved is coming to an end Coltrane45: 🤠

does anyone know what the item in front of him after the second partake skip was? (the one immediately before midir fight)

This guy man, Ludex Gunyr and Ithyryll.

As if it wasn’t enough to speedrun the game, he does it with keyboard and mouse

Gael must be pissed. A green ogre just came in with no armor and punched him to death.

damn this dude killed it!

Ahh... You should show off interesting game design when fighting Old Demon King. In short, when ODK hp reach about

Could not get passed the abyss watcher… tried 100 times and gave up 😅

Princess Fiona sherks the land of lorian

IGT PB while not doing all the IGT save quits, really nice

hell yeah, jazz tribute in the username

hes 22 minutes in and hes at the same place im at after 45 hours. did i waste my time XD

Those were a lot of deaths :c Poor Colt. But watching this was very entertaining.

I never got past lothric and lorian.. can't believe how easy this guy makes it all look

19:20 "THAT IS IT! LET'S GO!!!!" ::Everyone claps like sheep:: "Oh that's not it...false alarm".... lmao

Shame they didn't have the music for that last fight ;-;

is it me or did he not do Soul of Cinder boss? or maybe i just fell aslep. idk.

Awesome run

Wow, I watched someone die 36 times to that dragon boss on twitch and he did it like it was nothing.

1:46:00 wow the new Monk from Diablo Immortal looks really badass to play

Does the lord of cinder not count toward the bosses?

Creating a good looking character in a FromSoftware game is almost impossible, but creating Shrek is a piece of cake. xD Nice run, BTW

meanwhile nemz with all weapons xD still a good run

is he using mouse+keyboard only or controller also?

it's not gael fists only, you hit him with a soul arrow :^)

really nice run, COLT

Fiona in Shrek 4 was just LIKE THAT though lol, this is plot confirmed

r.i.p. music settings

*Dog teleports behind you* Nothing personal kid

Thats it , Lets Gooo !!!
