10:36 the biggest mistake was killing Gwendolyn. After you farm 10 souvenir of reprisal in the the painted word of Ariamis,you can get the most powerful talisman in the game after 40+ faith. The dusk crown was important too,but it doesn't protect as much as other helmets
That's what I was thinking too! Gwyndolin would have had to die eventually if it was an all-bosses run, but I definitely would have saved him for right before Gwyn in order to use that Darkmoon Talisman for as long as possible.
That would be pretty wasteful. Because at 50 faith the darkmoon talisman is only marginally better than the sunlight or the ivory talisman. Both of which are easier to obtain than farming for souvenirs. (You just need to kill Solaire or complete Reahs quest). Also I would say the crown of dusk is pretty important for a caster build because it gives 15 to 20% damage boost on spells. It's trading of your defense for higher damage, so it's definitely worth it.
Isnt the ring you get from grigs also effective on miracles? I remember that being the case. Also agility makes cast speed faster. It caps at 40 points though.

You could have also saved gwyndolin for later after farming the darkmoons knights covent thingys from the bird people in ariamis for the darkmoon talismen for better damage with your high fth.
I've never played with miracles before but this challenge actually makes them look really fun to use. Maybe I should pick up a third character in my current Dark Souls binge.
They may not be the most optimal thing on the planet, but they are certainly a ton of fun. I didn’t get it in this challenge, but make sure to pick up sunlight blade right after Gwyndolin! (30 FTH requirement)
@@bibhutibhusansahoo5065 I know this is a late comment, but there's also hex type miracles from dlc too, I might be wrong cause it's been years since I played but I think it's dark orb, dark bead and something else too
I actually did attempt this. With Wrath of Gods it's a great strategy but with the other miracles the casting time is too slow and he recovers from the parry animation too fast. With high poise you can withstand most attacks, but at that point it becomes a contest of damage which he usually wins, especially if he interrupts you by kicks or grabs.
@@flamingrubys11 In ds1 only between 35 and 45 dex and even if he would have put 30+ levels into dex it would only give a 8-10% cast speed up for miracles, which would still be way to slow
What on Earth? I've got hundreds if not thousands of hours on Dark Souls 1, I've beaten it on all difficulties, gotten every achievement and played through it in pretty much every play-style I can think of, but I never knew that dusk's crown affected magic adjust rather than magic damage. For the first time in years I have learned something about Dark Souls 1 that I did not know already, that's a sub and a like right there.
You killed Quelaag's sister right after dumping 30 humanity... and forgot to open the door... Your "inner speedrunner" fucked you over. You don't even need strong estus, you have healing miracles
@@therealdoc Not at all dude. I ran a cleric my first playthrough and was easily able to cast Heal during almost any boss fight. Although I suspect that the DLC bosses are too fast. Btw this dude made things SO MUCH HARDER on himself by not using armor. Poise lets you heal through hits and high defense is obviously better. I have no idea why he didnt use better armor, like the Elite Knight set
@@yeezus1660 Dodging is for fast characters. This dude ran a build with SUPER slow spellcasting and tons of extra healing. Clerics are basically built for high armour. The poise lets you spellcast through hits and the healing spells allow you to afford the extra health loss.
yeah, im finishing my miracles only playthrough right now, and im seeing a few strategic improvements that can be made. -dusk crown -use the sunlight, ivory, or darkmoon talisman past 40 faith (i missed out on darkmoon, but the sunlight and ivory talismans are nearly as good) -i also feel like he stopped leveling faith at 50 (the scaling at higher level gives not as big of a return, but still worth it. im at 80 faith and the mag adj. is 229 before the crown modifier) -after getting gravelord sword dance, you can go to the great hollow and farm basilisks for their eyes and give 10 to nito for the gravelord greatsword dance. (better damage, larger swords for slightly more reliable hits) -i messed up the siegmeyer quest, and didnt get emit force, but i still had more than enough damage with great lightning spears and wogs to kill all the dlc bosses at around soul level 100 -leveling dex up to 45 does give a notable increase in casting speed for non-wog miracles overall this video helped me strategize for my run, and im gonna try ng+ as well for the option of sunlight spear
Next time you feel like doing one of these challenges, gwyndolin's crown also boosts your magic damage (think in the same way as crown of dusk, but not as much) without the resistance penalty
Algorithm brought this to my attention, hopefully more people catch this because you deserve a larger audience for the amount of effort you’ve put in man
@@joyadeceren Actually you can farm for both of them you can get those Reprisal things from the crows in the painting with a nice drop rate with the serpents ring and humanity and you can also get Sunlight Medals from the bugs in the Lost Izaleth
@@chickenwarriorr yeah I think for the painted world I only farmed for an hour and I had all of the Covenant items I needed for the better Talisman because getting summoned was not existed
I'm not a guy who have the patience to watch 20 minutes videos. But I just watched, and... God! This is so good! I woudn't believe someone was capable of doing this challenge without seeing with my own eyes. Amazing run and strategies, you just got one more subscriber!
I totally forgot about the Dusk Crown as well. I thought the big mistake was going to be killing Gwyndolin instead of joining his covenant for the Dark Moon Talisman. I guess he would have to have been killed before Gwyn anyway if you were going for all bosses. Fun fact, casting speed is modified by Dexterity in Dark Souls 1. You could have sped up your damage output quite a bit by just pumping a few levels into Dex!
I didn't really pay attention to the music before, but when abandoned castle came on I instantly recognized... that song choice alone earned my like. Oh and the good quality of the video, a reward for your effort, bla bla bla...
It actually boosts all magic, not just Miracles. ... but it's only a 10 percent increase as opposed to the Crown of Dusk's 20. Gwyndolin does still yield something nice if you have the patience to farm Crow Demons for the Souvenirs of Reprisal to give him though, and that's the Darkmoon Talisman (the strongest one in the game at 40+ Faith). That said, good look dealing with those annoying things with only Miracles...
I did a "faith is my shield" playthrough of Dark Souls 1 back in 2015. It was my second ever playthrough and my first solo. The Run consisted of no shield and no Estus flasks as the criteria. If I wanted to heal I had tto use a Miracle spell. If I wanted to block I had to use Force. I also much like yourself only used the default cleric robes. And a morning star as his weapon. His name was FatherRay It was an easy run, until Gwyn. I'm at 20:15 seconds in your video and watching you fight Gwyn brought up some hellish memories of trying to heal during that fight. It was hell learning how to parry Gwyn for that. I salute you. o7
What? You have 40 intelligence with a magic spear that can basically one shot me? You fool!!! I have 9 intelligence and 30 faith, as well as the power of da lord on my side! Now die heretic!
May I introduce you to a challenge I and my friends came up with and that I completed for demons souls and dark souls 1 and 2: Thomas the Tank Engine. You can only walk forward. Put a rubber band on your controller or a weight on the W key and never take it off until you beat the game. You can turn by turning the camera, no touching the left stick/movement keys.
Wow i know challenges are not exactly suppose to be a fun time but this is straight torture... Technically give yourself the worse type of control drift and try to finish the game
I figured a miracle only run would be pretty difficult, but after watching this video I want to say congratulations on beating the game because you persisted even though the run was incredibly challenging. Awesome job!
When my biggest/only complaint with a video is that songs like the Gerudo valley theme are credited to smash ultimate, you know you’ve got some great content. Glad I got to see the rise from a couple hundred to the numbers you deserve! 👍🏻
I didn't expect such a challenge having personally beaten elden ring with only lightning spear (expected more from the miracles), but well done! The miracles are much worse than the incantations in elden ring that's for sure LOL And damn that gwyn kill is straight disrespectful
just watching the first of ur videos, now it started playing abandoned castle from castlevania cod and now i have to watch them all, gotta give some love to ppl that respect this masterpiece game
Stark reminder of how miracles in DS1 are completely overshadowed by sorcery and pyromancy. Heck even Sunlight Spear is a complete troll - can't be obtained until NG+ (without online play or hacks), costs two attunement slots, and has only 5 casts. Oh and you can't cast it if you leave Sunbro covenant. Anyways it was a fun playthrough to watch, well played. For the poise issue in Capra fight, you coulda grabbed the Wolf Ring from Darkroot Garden :)
10:09 You killed her? But Why? 10:17 Ha ha that's what you get. Honestly youu deserved this. Just joking man, good video but you shall not kill spider fire keeper, hope you regretted.
4:33 Btw that’s why I love fire incantations in elden ring. They sound like I really cry for help to a higher being like “cleanse me, o flame!” Or “flame, grant me strength” not much but really sells the idea of faith
Lol, nice starting in Firelink. If you started the game properly, the quick and simple answer for this run is "no", since Clerics only have heal to start
>doesn't grab dusk crown >doesn't grab better talisman >doesn't farm phalanx souls to get 45 dex to max spellcast speed this game is incredible. brain and brawn are interchangeable. for any amount of one you lack you can just make up for in the other.
Yo GW, this content is the dope shiznit. I love your challenge runs and have never had a suggestion before, but I got one! BoneWheel shield skill only! Roll it if it fits.
An interesting aspect of the magic system of DeS and DS is that sorceries and pyromancies are essentially scientific treatesies on how to manipulate a given element (soul, light, fire, poison...). That's why their names are usually so simple and descriptive. Meanwhile, miracles are stories of the gods, so they get to be a lot more grandiose.
Wait, couldn't you have just popped the consumable souls from Undead Asylum and used them to buy Force from Petrus at the start? Sure it does no damage, but it's a relatively easy way to let gravity do most of the work against early, non-boss enemies.
20:30 What it does is it boosts the raw damage output of ALL offensive spell types. MagAdjust itself is technically not affected, since it doesn't apply to things like Magic Weapon or Heal. It's the same as the Red Tearstone Ring, but it ONLY applies to Spells.
You got my sub when I recognized the Castlevania Curse of Darkness hype track from the early game. Bravo. AFTER Zelda and before excellent KH music, too!
1: Humanity item discovery scales past 10. After 5 humanity, you get 6 item discovery per humanity, even if it doesn't show it in the character screen. Players have thoroughly tested this but the wiki has never updated to compensate. 2: Really should've gotten force at the start, but running past everything isn't too terrible. Gravelord Dance is a worse version of Firestorm, which is already bad. Always seems like a decent alternative when you have nothing else until you start using it. 3: Dusk's Crown and Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring both increase sorcery, pyro, and miracle damage by 20% each. Yes, it only says sorceries on the item but all 3 spell categories are coded to scale with sorcery damage. 4: Using the Canvas Talisman through the whole playthrough and killing Gwyndolin before getting the Darkmoon Talisman was actively gimping your damage. It wouldn't have been so bad if you picked up the Ivory Talisman but... you didn't. Could've easily doubled your spell adjust and not been throwing stones at the end-game bosses. I knew the run was possible from the get go, but I was moderately curious to see how you commentated the run. Not my style, but I wish you luck, regardless.
I always come back to these videos because they are just truly entertaining. You deserve a lot more subs. Thanks for putting these out man. Awesome editing as well
Was there some special reason why you never changed your talisman? Im pretty sure killing Solaire or ranking up darkmoon conv for darkmoon talisman would be better than canvas. Unless canvas is one of those that are better at lower faith.
Your feelings on the Dusk Crown is how I felt about the Silver Pendant. I defeated Manus my first time without any idea about the pendant and I felt both like a moron, and a badass at the same time

He also could have used the hydra ring which decreases HP by 50% but you get 50% more spell uses
Jeez dude Manus with Miracles looks fucking awful to do. Also, I appreciate that you put the song names in the vid.
Manus for me was so fucking bad I quit dark souls for several months.
The whole dlc sucks for miracle users (especially if you forget about reah getting killed later on)

I love your choice of music. Crystal Chronicles and Castlevania Curse of Darkness made me comment. You deserve more viewers.
Man that curse of darkness soundtrack really hit deep
Yes, it does, nostalgia hits hard
You're one of the few channels that names each music track you use. Love it 👌
>doesn't grab dusk crown
>doesn't grab better talisman
>doesn't farm phalanx souls to get 45 dex to max spellcast speed
this game is incredible. brain and brawn are interchangeable. for any amount of one you lack you can just make up for in the other.
Yo GW, this content is the dope shiznit. I love your challenge runs and have never had a suggestion before, but I got one!
BoneWheel shield skill only!
Roll it if it fits.
An interesting aspect of the magic system of DeS and DS is that sorceries and pyromancies are essentially scientific treatesies on how to manipulate a given element (soul, light, fire, poison...). That's why their names are usually so simple and descriptive. Meanwhile, miracles are stories of the gods, so they get to be a lot more grandiose.
This was a really fun and well paced video!
I wish i could watch the entire run, tho
Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Yes but with lightning
Wait, couldn't you have just popped the consumable souls from Undead Asylum and used them to buy Force from Petrus at the start? Sure it does no damage, but it's a relatively easy way to let gravity do most of the work against early, non-boss enemies.
you sound like Benson from regular show and it makes everything 50x more captivating now
"I drank two...."
*FINAL BOSS - DIABEETUS*
20:30 What it does is it boosts the raw damage output of ALL offensive spell types. MagAdjust itself is technically not affected, since it doesn't apply to things like Magic Weapon or Heal. It's the same as the Red Tearstone Ring, but it ONLY applies to Spells.
That tangent on the names of miracles broke me.
You got my sub when I recognized the Castlevania Curse of Darkness hype track from the early game. Bravo.
AFTER Zelda and before excellent KH music, too!
Dude
Respects +
You deserve more subscribers my dude
Keep up the fantastic work and you’ll be ymfah 2.0
Was playing Dark Souls Remastered for second time and discovered your videos.
Love your work.
1: Humanity item discovery scales past 10. After 5 humanity, you get 6 item discovery per humanity, even if it doesn't show it in the character screen. Players have thoroughly tested this but the wiki has never updated to compensate.
2: Really should've gotten force at the start, but running past everything isn't too terrible. Gravelord Dance is a worse version of Firestorm, which is already bad. Always seems like a decent alternative when you have nothing else until you start using it.
3: Dusk's Crown and Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring both increase sorcery, pyro, and miracle damage by 20% each. Yes, it only says sorceries on the item but all 3 spell categories are coded to scale with sorcery damage.
4: Using the Canvas Talisman through the whole playthrough and killing Gwyndolin before getting the Darkmoon Talisman was actively gimping your damage. It wouldn't have been so bad if you picked up the Ivory Talisman but... you didn't. Could've easily doubled your spell adjust and not been throwing stones at the end-game bosses.
I knew the run was possible from the get go, but I was moderately curious to see how you commentated the run. Not my style, but I wish you luck, regardless.
Dude this really good, You are a high quality content creator. SUBSCRIBED!
It looks like your gonna need a MIRACLE to beat this one, eh eh
You're*
Not shild
@@AdminAbuse lol
I always come back to these videos because they are just truly entertaining. You deserve a lot more subs. Thanks for putting these out man. Awesome editing as well
The Music at the beginning is just PURE nostalgia
Ur the definition of underrated great work man hopefully u make it big one day
Was there some special reason why you never changed your talisman?
Im pretty sure killing Solaire or ranking up darkmoon conv for darkmoon talisman would be better than canvas.
Unless canvas is one of those that are better at lower faith.
Its best between 27-39 faith, without darkmoon covenant above 42 faith sunlight or ivory is the best, not sure what faith they were on
Your feelings on the Dusk Crown is how I felt about the Silver Pendant.
I defeated Manus my first time without any idea about the pendant and I felt both like a moron, and a badass at the same time
Wouldn't other Talismans like the Ivory Talismans provide more damage instead of the canvas talisman because they have higher mag adjust?
It's a pain to get those talismans because you need r3 on two covenants to get them, and that takes either a bunch of farming or a lot of pvp/co-op
Canvas is actually the best talisman post 30 faith, only surpassed by the Darkmoon. Both just have incredible scaling.
Big fan of your editing dude, especially the little montages before you start an area. Good job!
Im planning to buy dark souls one, is it worth it?
yes
You must use mod , a gameplay mod fix bugs make gameplay better
Choosing Cynthia's theme to the two most hard challenges on the run? I saw what you did it there, and I love it
I got irrationally pissed when he called Smough Smoph cuz they def look the same and that was after edits and a script...
The spirit tracks music in the background at the start really made my day
This ls the first video of this Chanell I am watching, and I can only tell this is amazing
INB4 this channel blows up
Good Challenge✓
Good Video✓
Good Narrator✓
Good Music✓
Bonus!
Good Game✓
Putting song and artist names in the video✓✓✓
This channel is going to be big one day I can feel it.
A Tranquill walk of peace helped me a lot (especially against Capra demo and Doggo - no need for good RNG) on my miracles run. Also usage of Karmic justice could be interesting, but i did not know about the spell at the time i made this run.
A huge thank you for using Castlevania and KH ost!
Pokémon and Kingdom Hearts music over a Dark Souls video, PLUS witty jokes?
You sir have earned yourself a new subscriber!
I love dark souls community because the video ideas are never dry and fun to watch because I could personally never do it without losing my mind 🤣
"It wasn't *ungodly* difficult..."
Well, naturally.
Nice to reach the conclusion that 15 years apart Cynthia's theme still gives me PTSD
I love this run! It helps me a lot with the pure faith build I’m trying at the moment. Thank you!
Love the Ratchet and clank GC soundtrack at 5:35. I love seeing people use the soundtrack for the games since the trilogy and even the ps3 games has legendary soundtracks.
The music was awesome! Curse of Darkness song got me smiling.
High quality content my dude. Awesome run.
