- Never played Dark Souls, never played a Souls-Like, but I've heard from many of you that they are amazing! So I guess it's time for me to put my big-boy pants on and give one of these a try. Things I've been told to expect:
I'm gonna die a lot
I'm gonna die a lot
I'm gonna die a lot
I might want to throw my PC out a window
lol... I'm SUPER excited though to delve into the genre that has defined what a 'challenging video game' looks like. I really hope you have an awesome time, and if you do, it would be amazing if you'd consider subscribing.
Thanks,
Benjamight

22:20 what I love about dark souls is that it demands your respect. An easy way to die is to go back to an area you're used to and take for granted. At max level, you can still die even back in the tutorial level
Dark Souls is not a forgiving game. But luckily you can undo the raw enchantment when you want. If you go to modify and look at the far right option, it let's you revert your weapon.
You could enjoy the higher damage from RAW until your stats are higher. Then revert back to normal +5 and take it up to +10 since you gave Andre the large ember
Havels Ring is actually very useful for you because you aren't going tank build. Using havels Ring you can wear some better armor while still light rolling. A tank would use the ring to wear the heaviest armor and medium roll.
50:00 sad to see but that's what happens. I literally sat back and said "it looks like he's got this, but he hasn't fallen in the lake yet so he's going to die". All players fall in once, it's a rule
If you would have read that comment right in front of you, I believe it would have been a warning telling you not to go forward
BTW, there is only one cursed weapon drop in the game and it's from the ghosts.
The other one requires advanced game knowledge and you'll never get it on your own. You have to upgrade certain types of weapons, then use the correct boss soul. Unless you looked it up, you won't get it.
Also, Ive used it and it's not as good as just using transient curses
You deserve all the praise you are getting. Even tho you where nervous about trying the game you gave it An honest shot, stuck it out, And came out on top.
Most content creator who are new to dark souls just walk trough the game half awake and then complain that the game Is too hard.
Couldn't have said it better myself . I love this playthrough .
Thank you MrMan, I greatly appreciate this comment. That means a lot. :-)
"Maybe I want to lighten my equip load but I like the armor I have now" Same episode, gets one of the best rings in the game: "Raised max equip load, nahhh don't need that!" :)
and to answer your question, that hydra fight was a frustrating combination of 'just go in the water!' and 'no not that far!' lol. but it's still good to have confirmation of the blindness of this playthrough!
LOL - judging by several comments I've gotten along the way, if anyone still doubts this isn't a blind playthrough, there won't be any convincing them. ;-)
Dont know if you figured it out by now but 'Raw' means it loses the scaling but gains higher base damage.
Oh no... I didn't realize that... so I lost the dexterity bonus, is that what you mean?
@@BenjamightGaming It depends on the weapon but you usually lose 1 rank in the scaling of one. It also stops the upgrading path at RAW +5, while normal weapons can go up much more.
Raw+5 is short-term more powerful than normal +10 but it's a dead end and ultimately worse than continuing along the normal path if you are still putting points into strength and dexterity.
@@BenjamightGaming Raw is best used on weapons you don't intend to use long term, for example: if you decide to only use a weapon until you reach Blight town, raw would be best since there's no chance you will be using it late game.
@@BenjamightGamingbrandin is thinking of later games. in the later ones you lose scaling completely but gain a much higher base damage. in dark souls 1 you keep some scaling but it's much lower than normal, and in return the base damage is a lot higher. what he said is still mostly true, but don't be too scared about having lost anything at this point, you can always revert your upgrades back to +5, and you won't notice those diminishing returns until later on
Honestly, just call them Soul. Before long you'll be having to call them Blood Echoes and Runes (though you'll still end up calling them Soul/Souls in that situation. You'll see).
I'm loving this playthrough. Also, there is actually a ring for when you're wading in water or the poison swamp with which you no longer get a penalty to movement. The only clue I'll give is that there's a birds nest somewhere...
Good luck, Chosen Undead!
Thanks for the hint Nick, I'll be on the lookout for that. Awesome hearing you're enjoying the playthrough too, I seriously appreciate that feedback. :-)
Current death count : 81
After what Havel did , the title checks out . Scary how he can just one shot players like that . The ring helps with the tank build ( more like the rock build ) .
YES , you finally took out that pesky hydra ! So satisfying to finally defeat it .
He was SO CLOSE to dead too...lol.
Another great episode Ben, Great job on beating Hydra and Havel, we've all been there you get so close to beating an enemy then they clobber you with one hit lol but revenge was sweet.
You got that right. ;-)
Depending on when I work and when you post. I watch you before work, at work or right after as my decompression time. I'm really enjoying the playthrough and I think you are doing pretty good with it.
Thank you DrDash, appreciate that.
Don't worry about losing souls, you can always get more later! I lost over 200000 souls today on my way back to a boss on New Game Plus 😂. That wasn't enough for a level up, btw, that's how high of a level I was!
WHAT!? I feel like that would jump me 20+ levels...lol. That's wild.
The zweihander is my favorite. It's a huge sword you can pick up and equip right at the start of the game every time requiring only 16 strength and 10 dex. Its light attack has a nice sweep and easily stuns enemies. The heavy attack is an overhead smash that knocks enemies to the ground. The zweihander has good damage but the CC it brings is the biggest difference to the weapons you've tried.
Appreciate the suggestion Chris - I'll definitely give that a try.
There are 3 dodge-rolling speeds. Fast, medium, and slow. Dodge-rolling speed is determined by the ratio of your current equipment load relative to your maximum equipment load. If your current equipment load is between 0% and 25% of your maximum, you fast roll. Between 25% and 50%, you medium roll. From 50% to 100%, you will slow roll, also known as 'fat rolling'. If your equipment load is above 100% of your maximum then rolling and sprinting are not possible. You can view your current and maximum equipment loads on the character status menu. You can increase your maximum equipment load by leveling up your Endurance attribute or by equipping certain magic items.
Raw weapons have a more immediate reward damage-wise but falls short on the long run, as the scaling is lowered so won't benefit as much from you leveling up. Do not be discouraged, as there are other weapons that benefit much more from dex out there.
Havel Ring is VERY good, even if you're not particularly tanky. Higher equip load limit means you carry more easily your armor, potentially increasing the speed of your rolls.
Super awesome tips here Hugh, thank you.
The slugs down in Blighttown have a chance of dropping large titanite shards, and green titanite shards.
WHAT!? Oh man, I've been avoiding them, but I will stop that right away, thanks for the tip.
@@BenjamightGaming I should mention that the glowing orb that indicates an item is mostly hidden inside the model of the slain slug. It's not always obvious that a slug dropped an item, so just look carefully to see if the slain slug looks like it's glowing at all.
Oh bummer... I went through slaying a bunch of these last night, and didn't find a single one... I wish I had read this comment ahead of time. Oh well, I still have more to do in Blighttown, so I'm sure I'll get another chance to slice'm up. :-)
@@BenjamightGaming I made a very short video that only shows what it looks like when a slug in Blighttown drops an item so you can see what it looks like. I hope your comments section doesn't automatically delete posts with links.

Thank you Lardzor, that video was very helpful. I'll look for that next time.
Do you want guidance on Npc questlines?
Npc questlines in FromSoft titles are always extremely easy to fail/miss to how extremely vague they are
Good question... unfortunately, I'm not sure how to answer. Obviously, trying to avoid spoilers, but at the same time I don't want to miss cool stuff in the game because I didn't pick up on a clue. I guess try to give settle hints with timestamps, and we can start with that. If I absolutely can't seem to figure out the clue, I'll maybe request help in the video.
@@BenjamightGaming Well then, this one is over due. The elevator that travels between Firelink and the Undead Parish, make sure you take the elevator on the left (if you're facing it from the Firelink side) and pay close attention to the wall on the ride up.
Hopefully, that's specific, yet vague enough for you.
Edit: if you need to switch which elevator you're using, step on the button and roll back out
Great job with Havel and the Hydra. The ladder you found basically gives you a back door to dark root forest's boss fight, skipping the need for the 20,000 soul Crest that Andre has. Unless you want the bonfire next to the crest door to be available. Also when you next reload your game, re-visit the hydra area but go as far to the back as you can, behind the ladder.
Appreciate the hint Juggla, I'll be sure to scope out that area.
Ascending (modifying) a standard weapon to RAW weapon will increase the base damage, but lower stat scaling. Useful (for example) for a magic user with low strength and dex to convert a short sword to RAW because they won't really benefit from the strength or dex scaling. They are better off with the higher base damage.
Ascending any standard weapon to add elemental damage (fire, magic, divine, etc) will generally affect stat scaling as well. You should take that into consideration when upgrading.
Thank you for explaining the raw weapons to me Lardzor... this really helped clarify some things I was still confused about (as you'll hear in an upcoming episode...lol). This makes a lot of sense.
I Appreciates the attention you are giving to game, here's a tip for you if you want to look like cool knight wear havel's ring and the elite knight armor, if i remember correctly you put it in bonfire, and the armor is the icon of Dark soul franchise, would be good if you equip it for at least one episode, thanks
Thank you Devkhani, appreciate that feedback. I'll try to look at that Elite Knight armor too, that sounds like something I need to see.
Highly recommend you wear Havel's ring! It will help you roll faster.
Appreciate it Aaron - I've had several mention that now, so I think I'm going to give it a try.
Man, that feeling sucks! When you go through an area you already completed a lot of times, and then die, and then die AGAIN and lose all your souls... Haha it's the worst feelign!
I agree. I would love to say 'lesson learned', but I'm sure it's a lesson I will forget again after a few episodes...lol.
My favorite weapons are Spear + shield because it lets me block and attack at the same time (despite loosing more stamina in doing so)
Don't try to look for the strongest weapon, there isn't one. You can finish the game with your starting weapon without problems, all you have to do is upgrade it and put points into attributes that scale the weapon damage (top is like 40 then it scales really slowly). For me the move set of weapon is far more important than the type of weapon.
Appreciate the advice Guskin, thank you. I'm definitely enjoying the long range melee weapons most at the moment, that's for sure. I have my eye on a couple swords I want to give a try too though.
1:55 I feel like this is only true for a select few people who ONLY play souls games lol. Grinding levels and upgrading your gear 100% will make the game easier. Facing the graveyard at level one with no weapon that can kill them vs later when you're a higher lvl with an appropriate weapon? Yeah, sure it can be said you can learn mechanics to bypass a lot of the game, but in your case, grinding and leveling up 100% also helps you lol
If you go back to the shop keep in the undead burg, you can buy the orange soapstone if you ever want to leave your own message! I will say the Havel Ring is a significantly good ring, one such as the blue tear stone never really sees use because you're within one shot range when its affect triggers making it useless most of the time.
Appreciate the feedback Kagarin... I'm seeing a lot of people recommend the Havel ring. I might have to give it a try.
I feel like Npc tips can Be ok but only if you missed an Npc. Kinda spoils the fun if people tell you what you haven't even got to yet.
Just like the other guy I was going to mention that the firelink elevator has another secret, I held off on this in case you found it on your own since that would feel more rewarding.
but at this point you probably won't be using that elevator much more.
you can use the new havels ring and try some new armors.... if you like then reinforce... but later you will find a lot of armors so dont spendt too much on current.
weitgh / speed works for levels.... 0% to 25% of total you are fast rolling. 25% to 50% you are medium rolling and 50% to 100% you are fat rolling- over 100% you are a mummy. so keep under 25% for fast rolling or under 50% for medium rolling but is no difference if you are at 31% or 48% ok? regards
Thank you Leonardo - I make some armor changes in an upcoming episode, but I think I'm going to take another look at the numbers based on your info here. If there is no difference between 20% and 25%, I might as well get as close to 25% as possible. :-)
@@BenjamightGaming keep closer to 25% or to 50% and change your armor to adapt the situation when needed, good luck
Havel really smacked me hahaha
SO true... here doesn't need to hit much, just 1 good swing, and I'm down!
I see you have explored the blighttown , was a nice place but a little buggy
Row weapons have a better base dmg and scales less from the dex str int faith , usualy are good for thouse who have a lot of points in something else like health stamina, spell slots
Dont warry if you do not like or upgraded a weapon to a bad type you can allweys revert to normal but you will have to grind the resorces again if you do not have them
My weapons are axes and i preffer the most the Battle Axe i beated bosses first try with it
armor is good against enemy that have hight attack speed , the more armor the better as long as you can withstand its weaight / enemys that attacks slow is better to have as less weight as posible so no armor or light armor will be better , your armor is good dont change it for now
tho if you want a better armor it will be better to change the blue ring to havels ring and equip heavyer armor that gives more def/poise
if you are going back down remember this 2 things :D dont warry is part of story and / if you do not trust a wall do not trust it twice
Thanks for the awesome tips and suggestions here GameSickTv, I really appreciate it.
Regarding the intro part about your level. I wouldn't say you are underleveled considering how you aren't in any high level areas yet.
In comparison to the average person you are probably 5-7 ish levels higher. Not that that's a bad thing I just didn't want you to worry about being underleveled :)
The reason some people have said he's behind is because he used so many souls on upgrading his spear, Halberd, and armor. Imagine if he just upgraded his halberd and spent the rest on levels.
But as long as he can wield the halberd he's at a decent level. He'll probably want his vit/end at 20ish before O+S.
Good to know MrMan - since I have no way of really gauging myself, especially since areas aren't labeled with some sort of level requirements, I feel like I've been running blind on where I should be in my stats.
That makes sense... it's only 200 souls to level a piece of gear, but I have bought a LOT of shards, and those definitely add up.
When I'm playing for the first time, A way that I use to tell if I'm level appropriate is how long it takes me to get a levels worth of souls.
If it takes ages of killing to get a level then I'm overleveled, if the enemies hit hard and I'm getting a levels worth in shot time, I'm underleveled.
Oh, I like this tip... that's very helpful - thank you MrMan.
Weapon upgrade paths are alot easier to understand in ds 2/3
I have played ds1 maby 5 times and still don't understand weapon paths.
Good job on killing Havel and Hydra next in line probably is red Wyvern at the bridge right ^^ ?
