We Raced in the BEST Dark Souls Game...It didn't go so well 

I was "challenged" by Bri to a race outside of Elden Ring, so I hope you guys enjoy this more relaxed style of race :) Here is the VOD of the run: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RDZDcQXoV3g.html Here is all of Bri's links and link to her perspective of the run, be nice to Bri everyone thanks :) www.youtube.com/@blueberrybrioche www.twitch.tv/blueberrybrioche Her perspective of the race: www.twitch.tv/videos/1814200854

‘Oh, you went through Smelter Demon, interesting.’ Chris: 👁👄👁

It's strange seeing someone both have tons of game knowledge and the execution of a first playthrough. Still faster than me though.

32:41 *gets asked to dinner by a woman* "No, I'm gaming." 🗿 Pro gamer moves

Seeing Chris simply destroy any ER run and then seeing Chris... trying his best in DS2 are two completely amazing experiences. Thanks for this one man. Hope to see more content like this one.

Elden Ring players when you fall from a few dozen feets and your ankles actually hurt like hell: Surprised Pika.

Damn done in by the prowling magus. As someone who loves and plays Ds2 pretty often highly enjoyable watching this one and watching someone not too familiar with ds2's quirks.

The biggest problem with ds2 that i personally had wasn't the clunky movement or not knowing that you need adp but the absence of i-frames on boss gates. Not the first playthrough while exploring and killing most enemies but on repeat ones or on bosses which moves I'm still learning. Getting stunlocked by 3 normal enemies at some boss that i keep dying to is the most tilting thing in all fromsoft games for me.

Each Souls game has its own jank and DS2 may have some of the weirdest of it but I still love this game regardless, also powerstancing in this game is way cooler than ER's

Seeing you not just totally own at the game is a new experience

I really enjoyed the older darksouls games its alot of fun watching you play them after a while

Happy to see I'm not the only one struggling with hitting the Persuer with the ballista. He's so good at dodging OML!

For a run that seemed to have a pretty unrehearsed route, this was super close. I’m curious how different the strategies were.

Souls 2 (pre-SOTFS version) is unironically my favourite souls game. Had such a blast going through each of the DLCs blind as they launched. I do like the new content added in Scholar, but they did screw up some of the enemy placements compared to vanilla imo.

yay best souls 2 content, honestly wish there were more videos on it since i enjoy playing/watching it a tonne, this video really scratched an itch and was super well made :)

I know that the rapier is the best weapon "technically", but most bosses are weak to strike damage and lightning damage, so a Lightning Mace can shred almost all the bosses.

Ah, the joys of de-rusting. (And infinite hitstun, mid-swing tracking, ADP, soul memory, Monster Hunter hitboxes, fog gates sans i-frames, gank spawns, etc. etc. ) Fun to see an unoptimized race, hope you can dream up some more unconventional runs.

Ah yes Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the Giga Chad

The run to the bosses is harder than the bosses themselves

Based take on Looking Glass Knight actually. Such a beautiful arena, and the fight is honestly pretty great (if a little easy).

always fun watching someone figure out how to play this game :) you get used to it in the end

12:05 nice save

12:05 yeah, yeah, the one with the... your face man after that is so funny, no words needed lol.

Finally, a new video of my fav content creator. Luvv ya pal.

6:13 I fought this dude so many times and have never seen that move before, wow.

that title is going to cause a riot

It's very odd to watch a star0chris video that actually makes me feel good about my own gameplay, but then again I'm a weirdo whose most played Fromsoft game is DS2

I would love to see a ds2 all boss run. Awesome video by the way❤️

Still playing through DS1 for the plat. Definitely so hyped to play this amazing ass game!

“How ? I Dodged!” My man the dodge animation have 3 in a slow ass game with lingering hit box and input reading , good luck (For reference ER have 13 on dodge) my advice for you is to level EDP .. i m-mean ADP

6:06 I have never seen this attack in my entire life.

That gank squad at 1:40 is what made me quit the game for a couple months before coming back lol

True Sigma move to deny dinner for the grind.

My boi got slapped into oblivion by the Semon of Dong

I wouldn't be surprised if her not getting the soul boosting armor was what made the difference

starochris try to kill pursuer with ballista challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) the way you do it is you bait the lunge attack, roll forward over that pile of boxes and then immediately run to the ballista and fire without thinking, dont even bother aiming

I just realized that in my 350 hours of Gank Souls II I've never used a brightbug because im too afraid to waste them lol

Ah yes, "I rolled that!" All rise for the Dark Souls 2 anthem.

Honestly, Throne Watcher and Throne Defender are a pretty underrated boss. One of the better duo bosses From has done.

Suffering AND Dark Souls 2? Perfection

Van Halen says Jump!, Chris... 🤣

Best Souls 2 videos are always super enjoyable

This game is nothing but pain from start to finish and yet it's still my favorite.

Everybody love Emerald Herald

Did you know that the B Team WHO worked on this wanted you to Always drain the 15 respawns so your lvl is high enough and you have a Clean path to the Boss. That's why you have no i frames on the fog wall. I hated that🤣

Did you by any chance ever finish Sekiro? I would have loved to see you play through the rest of the game.

I don't wanna be that guy, but you didn't get the "old lord souls," you just got the normal lord souls. The old lord souls are granted on NG+ (or with a bonfire aesthetic, which is what I assumed was gonna happen) and are the lord souls you obtained in DS1

Great video as always, cheers

It really is the best souls game, common chris W. Also congrats on being the only youtuber/streamer I've ever seen die to Magus + Congregation!

Lol this was fun. I love ds2 but i also acknowledge that it has its fair share of issues

Damn. I love this game.

Less goo, always a great night when chris posts 😎

Nice video, I’m a little confused on the rules though. At the beginning you said you had to get the 4 OLD souls, and showed them on screen, but getting the old versions of the souls requires you beat the great ones in NG+, or using a bonfire ascetic on the bonfire, so you would’ve fought them twice but that isn’t shown in the video

Hot take, I like ds2 more than ds1, but just slightly, the DLC makes it for me for ds2

People may say a lot of things a lot about ds2, but imo majula is the best hub out of all the games. The nexus being a close second, especially if you have patches to sell you infinite grass.

I realy enjoyed a non Elden ring video thanks man

As a Level 838 in DS2 I enjoy seeing the pain of others *smurks*

i love DS2

You should race ymfah next. :)

Mobs or "adds" ftw

A tip. Pursuer is a strafe right boss fight

DS2 Is truly a masterpiece. I Just miss more active multiplayer

Dark Souls II Bingo Brawlers when?

great video

DS2 is not the most fun souls to play, but surely the most fun to watch lol

Which one is the earthen peak lady?

Best Souls 2 babyyyyyy

Greeting from Deutschland/Germany

I'm going to ask the question asked on every ds2 video Is this Scholar or vanilla?

I read "BEST dark souls game" but then I saw you were just playing DS2. That's gotta be some kind of false advertising!

Good video, ty

This has reminded me why I don't play Dark Souls 2

wait until you find out ds3 came out

Am I the only one who is screaming right now that you can get Old Lords souls only on ng+? I thought that you'd have to find 4 bonfire aesthetics and kill main bosses twice. Still fun run tho

Finally ds2 video🔥

Finally DS2

I love dark souls 2 and personally think other than adp that it is better than dark souls 3

Ds2 lightmode

See I straight up despise this game. I have like 40 hours in... I know I made it through iron keep... I know I made it to giant dragon in that godforsaken place... I know I made it to a snowy place and then said "yeah no seriously fuck this game." To this day, it's the only souls game I've not finished, and I never will. At least it makes for interesting content XD

I was new to FromSoft when Sekiro released and I became obsessed with it. I got the 100% on that, then did the same for Elden Ring, then went to Bloodborne, then just finished up Dark Souls. I bought Dark Souls 2, played it for around 3 hours and put it back down, this game is awful. It makes the #1 sin a game can make to me, it just isn't fun at all. I had fun learning the other games in the trial by fire stuff, but this one just doesn't have it for me. I know that isn't a new take, and I know there's people who like it which is awesome, but I personally think it's pretty bad and they enhanced all the bad parts of DS1 and took out most of the good stuff. I'll be skipping it and going straight onto DS3 instead.

Do more videos from dark souls1/2/3

POG NEW VIDEO POG POG POG

i did not enjoy this more relaxed style of race (i havent even begun the video)

Dark souls 2

God, I hate this game. Lmao.

Sorry you were forced to play ds2

Chris I love you man but this was physically painful to watch XD

Cool Video tho
