I will note here that I do know that Dark Souls Remastered has a dupe for non-consumables but it seemed annoying to get working. Besides I'm a boomer grindmaxxer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just something of note, item discovery is capped at 410, like you said, but 99 humanity is not required. Humanity item discovery is capped at 10, while the rest up to 99 only helps with defense.
@@ce5243agreed. I appreciate that 3 might be the better made game from a technical perspective, but the world is less interesting than 1, and for all its faults 2 really tried a lot of new stuff and changed it up a good deal. I love em all but 3 is the bottom of my personal list.
Rewatching this again. You are genuinely one of my favourite RU-vidrs and criminally underrated. The energy, your cadence and witty jokes always make my day. 10/10 Also always here for the "imagine being Kirk Knight of Thorns" in every Dark Souls video LOL
Ds1 is fun to plat, ive done it on basically every platform, but I will NEVER plat ds3 again lol. When tbat game launched I got the bug where I was just never summoned for sentinel or darkmoon fights, so I had to farm silver knights for ears. I was there for so lone I had 7 million souls before I got the drops. Never again 😂
Hey. I desperately want to dupe a soul item... may you please explain exactly, step by step, how you do it? You don't drop the arrows, but I'm not understanding what you do after, I just see your menu screen topping over the other. I feel that I'm not catching a step or two. Please help?
Wait, did you just find a way to get Sunlight Spear on playthrough 1? When you died to the knights after beating Gwyn it showed you got his soul, and then you had to walk back to the boss room for the ending right? If you do that in NG then you could potentially get Sunlight Spear before NG+ niche is usefulness, but interesting to know
@@BacklogBuster they’re only worth it for variations of weapons with different blood gem slots, the beast claws, and the Yharnam boss. Definitely suggest using guides for any of that, cuz there’s a lot of chalice dungeons that are mostly pointless.
I would say absolutely use the guides, as some of the required chalices, especially the one with the cursed modifier - you get half health and receive half physical damage, but still take full elemental damage, and the bosses are a lady who shoots fire, a dog made of fire and an alien who shoots magic - have save-edited versions available which remove the half health modifier but still give you the required drop, and why should everyone suffer as we have suffered? We want to make a world where those who come after us have a better life, one without bullshit instant oneshot charge attacks???
I've come here, to plague this comment with positive endorsment of Winback, specifically Winback 2: Project Poseidon, as it's way more actually fun & funky, instead of dated & less funky
I'm barely about to be level 92 and I've been playing since February. I have 414 hours in now... obviously, I've lost plenty of time because I fell asleep at night while sitting at the bonfires, it calms me. But I feel like I've been cheated out of a lot of time as well. Also, you completed it, with less than one hundred hours? This is unfair.
I've played Dark Souls for well over 500 hours across the years. My first casual playthrough was probably around 60. I've put in a lot of past legwork to do stuff like this relatively quickly.
Ah yes, collecting them all... Makes me remember that i got two Dark Hands on my first playthrough as soon as the Four Kings were no more, despite people telling me that it's probably one of the items to go for on NG+. :D
The most annoying things for the trophies are definitely the unique weapons and weapon level ups. You need a minimum of two full playthroughs, plus a third with grabbing Sif's soul and getting to the boss weapon smith. This also requires grinding for the rare drop of the channeler's trident. I don't think it's quite as bad as Dark Souls 2, as certain spells/miracles are locked to much later new game plus cycles. And then Dark Souls 3 is supposedly even worse due to certain ring requirements. Also, you don't need to dupe. Just have enough faith to cast the miracle version of a homeward bone. Free returns, much cheaper.
The most enjoyable way to do this platinum is to not do it on one single playthrough. I did it so that every "upgrade x kind of weapon" would be a unique save file that I would start up whenever I felt like replaying the game, that way I got to see the strengths and weaknesses of different weapon types and playstyles. The only achievement I had to put any real effort into was knight's honor at that point, and when you're doing just that and not worrying about NPC quests or item farming, it becomes a lot more tolerable. I don't really think this platinum is meant to be gotten all at once, so if you go for it yourself, I wouldn't recommend that route.
