Dark Souls: Overpowered In Ten Minutes

There was a Test and Test 1, but they didn't pass.

Is there a truer statement on the internet? Whenever one of these tutorials tells me to do something like this I just nope tf out

@@FeaturedPixel you give up to easily and you have no patience, surprised someone like you is even playing this game. Yes that jump is extremely hard to pull off but once you do.. wow! took me about a hundred tries as well, keep at it bro trust me, you'll get it eventually and when you do you'll be glad you did.

Fluttershy Stays High420 do you know what a joke is?

​@@fluttershystayshigh4202 You're surprised that "someone like him is even playing" because he doesn't want to take "a hundred tries" learning speedrun strats for the sake of a "ten minute" strategy to get a weapon in a game where weapons don't matter that much? If you need to expend that much effort following a guide that closely, for the sake of the effing Great Scythe of all things, don't you think it's fair to say that it's more surprising /you're/ the one playing a game like Dark Souls? Play however you like but there's no reason to insult him, mate. It's a great and interesting vid but OP's point is perfectly valid.

Gratuitously Hateful RU-vid Jerk If you wanted to skip the jump you could totally just grab Zweihander before heading to Pinwheel and Vamos. You could probably level up enough to two hand it with the left over souls.

Best looking mask in the game

No, grab it on your way in and use the green shard and the souls from Pinwheel to make it fire. You sound have no trouble one-shotting the skeletons on the way out.

+123timsim It's what happens after you beat the game once or twice. You gradually learn the patterns and paths of every enemy and area .

+Jacob Cummins that's true

But his reflexes that makes it look like he memorized the whole thing, doesn't actually make it look that easy.

You can get a any black knight weapon +5 before you kil any boss. This video is pretty shitty if you want to be op.

Golden Darkness070 actually it would be easier to beat a few bosses to afford the upgrades and stats

Lol.

Playing this on pc without a controller is so jacked

it took you three minutes but took me 10 minutes

+Daud Les the game was ported to PC way too hastily

I always seem to get a black knight weapon and the shield, with that sword being the main one I get.

Playing Dark Souls for the first time legit (I played years ago with friends who dropped me the best gear and infinite souls lol) and i killed the first black knight and got the greatsword lol

You should fire it up once more. Praise the sun

I got the black knight halberd on my first knight

yeah I got the black knight sword extremely early and used it as soon as my stats were high enough to two hand it, I then played the rest of the game with it.

3 years later, just thought I'd say the world is a better place with you in it! Hope you're still doing well!

@Ongo Gablogian yeah, in mine I went to the catacombs at the begining and somehow I got the great scythe, killed pinwheel on my own, found Vamos upgrading my weapon and went through all the tomb of the Giants until that light wall... And then I got stuck there and was forced to start a new game.

I did it on my first try, FAR before getting the fast travel... I felt as if the world spawned wheels in that area, and when I finally killed all of them, a black knight could barely be seen from bellow sneacked a attack on me... then I quit it :)

Welcome to darksouls

Update: I've done it. Perseverance is strength. Kappa

Small tip for newcommers: Pick black firebombs as a gift, or run for them to the undead burg chest. They are really good against those lantern guys :) And can last you through multiple tries. Also don't forget to put on your ring of sacrifice after the boss fight. Don't wanna lose the souls. :)

You should probably know that this doesn't make the game easy at all. Doing this is far harder than just progressing normally.

Invincibility frames saved him

ChaosKirby Za Warudo!

Ashton Hornbeck YEAH!

which arrow?

Very first arrow in game

not necessarily, but when I first watch this, I learned a fast way to get to a boss for easy souls, which is usually the first boss I fight after asylum. I usually go to Valley of Drakes to get the dragoncrest shield (+85 fire defense) and have that shield up while Paladin Leeroy does all the dirty work)

I watched this when I first started and it only took a couple tries and was very helpful ended up switching out the scythe quickly but it was still very helpful

especially once they realize later on that fire kinda sucks

Black Knight Halbred is far better than this but you need more souls since you need to be a higher level and 10k souls to +5 it, +10 twinklings, and don't forget its only 1/5 chance of dropping from the basin guy

Yeah simply knowing where to go amd how to play is the most op thing I can beat ds1 like it's nothing aswell as ds3 but ds2 I cant play for shit cause I've only played it for about half an hour and didnt like the feel of it

demon's souls is also fun c:

mobai123 took me three tries with the silver knight spear but that ONLY because its one of the longest weapons in the game. Gwyn could barely reach me lol

Soundwave I was kinda disappointed with Gwyn :D Just destroyed him with my large club :D

I did to the first time I came through there. At least you didn't miss that bonfire completely like a lot of people do.

@@rainhoo4096 that happened to me

Did you try putting it in rice?

He's actually a mesh of 3 people the father who stole from nito to try and save his dead family and bring them back to life only getting them stuck together and he is forever trying to find a way for them to become unstuck which is why you see so many copy's of himself everywhere

Yeah, true, I knew his story... Makes me feel even sorrier for him... :/ Serious mistakes were made

He's my favorite.

Killed by some warrior and a pyromancy named Test 2

Fun fact: pinwheel is actually a rotten-esque fusion of three people, a family that are all lumped together, working in the catacombs to figure out how to separate themselves and be a normal undead family again.

aaron4820 when he said no one I think he was talking to me level 23 and I can't do it

yes you did

Duck Overlord Not until I saw this video.

Dr. Froggle have you ever played dark souls

Duck Overlord Yes. I've beaten it. Running isn't required to play or even beat the game in any part. It's only really required to get the Crestfallen Merchant, but that isn't necessary to progress the game.

+Dr. Froggle you probably have to jump a few times in the game. not completely sure tho just guessing about that.

David Copeland First time I played, I beat him up easily. Though I am used to playing a few other games(like witcher) where you can spam diving rolls all over the place to avoid enemies. Not as nice as this video, but it gets the job done.

If I had started with DeS, I would have been prepared. But like, when i played for the first time, I hadn't even seen it being played before. I knew absolutely 0 about it. I wish I could get my Souls virginity back, and lose it again. It's never quite as fun as that first time

I skipped the cutscene and missed the door.. so i fought him with my bare hands the first time around. It made the rest of the game seem pointless up until O&S though. I even enjoyed kapra demon after that. Edit: yes, I am retarded and I know that.

Just like Gascogne for me

+Mysterie Just takes a little observation to know you can do it

I love it but that ceaseless boss and bed of chaos smh hold it back for me from absolute greatness

@@yobro6053 The Bed of Chaos was bullshit. Absolutely hated that boss. Only took a few tries but still.

@@hurricaneheli79 i had fun fighting it tbh, i laughed at myself for not memorizing the spots where the stone falls. The jump was kind of annoying but you just need a little timing and attention the bosses arms and it will be over in a min

lmaooo same. I have no idea why this is in my recommended.

not better than bloodborne or Nioh

Daiyuki117 Wouldn't even need ten to get the sword, all you have to do is get through the burg and donk the black knight with the help of the lightning pine resin and congratulations you've got a weapon that's better than a freaking +5 fire whatever. You could probably get the black knight sword, havels, 4 twinkling titanite, grass crest shield, elite knights, and FaP ring in ten minutes, and that gives you a much better weapon, plus armor which this strat doesn't provide. Might give it a shot to see how viable it is actually.

The scythe is literally the best weapon in the game

The scythe has a long range and can can dead angle well in PVP. It's also got a long recovery time if you miss, and +5 fire is nowhere near as good as a +1 or +2 black knight sword. Video says OP in ten minutes, I say that you can be even more OP in a shorter or equal amount of time.

Baxter There are several different methods to obtain overpowered equipment early in the game, and while a lot of them do offer stronger weapons than a Fire Great Scythe +0, there are a couple of reasons I still believe this is a method worth using. Firstly because the Great Scythe is a guaranteed weapon, the ascension material is also in place, as is the source of souls. The only real requirement in doing this, is don't die and lose those souls. Also, doing this isn't achieved by the same means as luring a Black Knight into some kind of cheap fall death, which let's face it, doesn't really help a player learn the mechanics of the game. As I mentioned, there are several methods in which an overpowered weapon (for so early in the game) can be obtained. The Gravelord Sword seems to be one that's mentioned quite often, so I'll use that as an example. I'm able to obtain that weapon and use it two-handed in just over 6 minutes and 5 seconds, and one-hand it in less than 8 minutes and 30 seconds from title screen. More powerful? Marginally (265 physical against 130/130 physical/fire). Harder to run and requires skill? Not really.

Baxter The black knight weapons have low drop rate and they are not the best weapons in the game.

Brian Torres I wish for the remastered version, they made his hits stronger and his teleportation faster and his clones have more health. Then he’d actually be more than a nudge death.

Brian Torres I don’t understand how a game works so I don’t even know if that’s a possibly thing to do, but still.

@@Dravianpn02 I think Pinwheel was designed with the fact that you can go straight to the Catacombs from Firelink(if you're crazy/skilled enough) in mind. Weaker/worse players cant kill him as fast and thus have to actually dodge his attacks and target his clones carefully. But that makes him a weakling if you fight him when you're supposed to, like most people do.

lorewise hes also not meant to be strong hes Just a man who wants his wife and kid back but got merged with them and doesnt know what to do to have his old life back it suits him being a tissue

+Fadedgogeta godlike advice

+Phi6er or just kick the bugger off the cliff

+Phi6er yeah but skeletons resurrect themselves by putting themselves back together with the body parts that rolled away like a magnetic, pulling the parts together. Plus the parts only roll and do not fly, so because of that knock a part off a cliff and BOOM; the skeletons can't come back together. Or you know you can kill the necromancer or get a divine weapon.

+Phi6er it works if you knock the head off the edge Was doing a cosplay run and didn't want to use a divine weapon

Phi6er you have to knock all of their body parts off

I know this is 6 years old, but it's funny to think 10 minutes back then was pretty tough to do seeing as at most he had about a year of experience. I'd say this same run by someone that's played through this entire game multiple times over the last 9 years could be done in as little as 7, maybe less not sure.

O it’s you

Naw fr... i b getting murked trying to follow these vids lol

+miserablesmileface Someone beat the game with voice controls and another with a guitar hero guitar! (BTW with the voice controls is like saying `move 10 paces left and roll`. Imagine having to say every little thing in an intense boss fight)

Welp, to each their own I guess. It may be out of left field here, but I'd actually prefer someone get a little help on the game and proceed through with the entire game, then not get any help and eventually quit. Especially since Dark Souls is such a glorious masterpiece of an RPG. I've seen a few of my friends who would have fled from Dark Souls stay just because they got a little help in the start. I think that shows some maturity as a gamer, even if only a tiny bit.

Maria Ferguson They'll end up reading a guide and grabbing the stupid drake sword anyway.

Maria Ferguson Well it's an open route to go to so if you go there first and end up completing the area then pretty much deserve to be able to go through most of the game with ease lol

***** no reason to hate on the drake sword, you can use it to save titanite when you get the weapon you actually want to use, early game. Makes killing the Black Knights a lot easier when you only have to parry/backstab them two or three times and thus saves you time if you need the 16 str anyways.

Marcel Krebs Or get 15+ Pyro Glove and you're set for life

its not that hard so you can pull this off easily on your second charakter if you play the game for first time and you died 10 times trying this i would say you earn it cause first time shouldnt be like 'i go to the internet and look whats the easiest way to get trough the game' btw if you are bad at the game a better weapon wont help too much

Dark Blurr Fluffy's Gaming started the joke, but Disva Dravir wasn't repeating the joke, he was just adding a little bit more information to the conversation. He basically said "It isn't a coincidence that the paladin we find at the Catacombs is named Leroy, this is actually an homage Darksouls developers made about WoW. Leroy Jenkins was playing a paladin when he did that famous charge. "

Fuck you for giving people false hopes of being able to do this

@@MF_Zurg chill out dude

I did it and the weapon it's basically useless

i think if you are running a dex build you may as well grab the scythe but the gravelord sword is probably the better choice for quick runs/non planned builds. this method is really dumb now since pinwheel got nerfed. a better early overpower run would probably be starting wanderer or warrior investing early stats in 16 strength , then running down and grabbing the gls, leaving nito's tomb through the coffin and going straight to pinwheel and killing him for a mask, then i dunno go kill quelaag and ceaseless for some easy levels

Warrior only needs 3 levels to twohanded it which is when the weapon is best

started using the gravelord sword at the beginning of the game and finished the game with it :p i'm using a heavy set-up though... tower shield +15, gravelord sword +5, smough's armor and havels ring...

pff i got the black knight greatsword with a stone great sheild at around moonlight butterfly still have it

Penalty first ever play through black knight sword elite knight armor and grass crest shield with havel's ring and the red tear stone ring never let me down in pve though the black knight sword loses a lot of pvp matches
