the 2 most important things I learned from this video: 1) You can cheese the Capra Demon 2) There's an entire area in Darkroot Garden that I never knew existed behind a fake tree
i know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
Any of the BK weapons is op. For example BK sword at 40 str and 18 dex has like the same dmg as claymore at 40 str and 40 dex, and they are both greatswords with near identical moveset. The BK greatsword is just a better zweihander, the BK greataxe is arguably the best looking weapon in the entire game, and the BK halbert is the most op weapon in the entire (rivaled only by stuff like falchion with sunlight blade miracle), that can also be obtained very early on if you’re lucky
@@helge5565 agree, imo BKGS is the best ultra GS because 90% scale with str and the upgrade to +5 have second highest damage among ultra GS (first is dragon GS but doesnt scale with str) and also you can buy twinkling titanite. the other ultra GS you have to get titanite slab which is a rare drop and soooooo hard to get!
Yes, but the problem with that plan is that the Black Knight in question does NOT respawn upon death and the BKGS is NOT a guaranteed drop. You need luck to get it, because otherwise you either look for a replacement weapon, or you have to start the Run all over again.
You can run this exact build and guide but use the Great Club. It is down in the swamp so you are there any way. It does a little more damage and weighs a little less than the Machete. Either are powerful strength weapons with above average movesets. Great video.
Pretty much, but I finally left my comfort zone and did a Pyromancy Dex build and oh boy do I love it. Used Quelaag's furysword +5 and Uchigatana (or Iiato alternatively) +15.
First time playing a dark souls game and this build makes me love this game. I started out at firelink trying to parry. Got 2 in an hour and was ready to return the game. Lol It took almost all day but I completed the guide. P.S. Had to start over cause starting with the axe is OP and I found the video after I started a game. Great Guide!
Souls games are really fun and not that hard if you get a good build. Most people give up because of the learning curve but once you learn the game and figure out your play style they are really addictive.
I usually also grab the Chloranthy Ring from Ash Hollow, Firekeeper Soul from Blight Town, Firekeeper Soul from New Londo Ruins and Elite Knight Armor from Dark Root Garden.
Ok, 5 days ago I picked up DSR on my switch decided I finally give it a go. I was totally useless casual shit getting destroyed. Found this, Lost tons of souls & humanity, but now I’m here. Sitting at Firelink with my Mask of the Dad on. Can’t remember last time I was this addicted to a singleplayer game. Big thank you & wish me luck on my 1st time Journey! ❤️🔥
You attempted this guide as a 100% n00b???? Was it super hard or what?! Did you regret doing it??? Or did it really help you out? I want to know if I should attempt this on my first ever playthrough. I got it on my Switch too. Maybe we can team up sometime!
@@ItsSamStone this was my breaktrough to dark souls I did this as 100% noob. On switch. And I'm still comming back to that character from time to time. Very very helpful. Also you will pick up many tips for your next playtrough wich I did based on my decisions :) Have fun playing !!!
I am running Dark Souls again to get the platinum on PS5 after loving this game to death in the Xbox 360 generation days. This video is, by far, the best one I have found on strength builds. I have gone through so many (13) before finding this one, and this is perfect. I know after 2 years you probably aren't checking comments anymore, but still, I thought you should know that this is exemplary work.
Personally I usually only think of the Zweihander as the best earlier game heavy strength weapon but knowing about the great machete now is definitely an intriguing revelation indeed, thanks for the good guide. \|T|/
I'm completely new to the Dark souls series. Just wrapped up Bloodborne and starting it's DLC. This was super easy to follow as someone who never even stepped foot in this game before. I followed just up to the 3:50 mark just for the rings so i can still enjoy the fights. But this guide was great. Thank you. Also the music was awesome.
@@cayden919 not really, depends on how you skilled. if you already have some str lvl´s it´s not really a problem but if you skilled something else like magic or dex, you´re better off starting over
Pick the cleric class, try get 25? Or 30, can't remember now, faith early, get the Crown of Dusk and join the Sunlight Warrior covenant under the Hellkite at the bridge to get Lightning Spear. Faster and better imo.
I honestly hope experienced players watch this objectively because when i first started I did all seven of these mistakes and after beating it then finding this particular RUclips video I find it hilarious 🤣
@@spongbobsquarepants5744 Keep trying. Do you have the stamina shield and some points into stamina and health? It helped me being able to take 1 hit before I died.
@@James-fq3yz ok, to begin… first you must get behind da bolder on the far left and wait for first from the hydra attack to pass while keeping away from the Crystal golems, then you run until you reach the water (monitor your stamina, but make sure to keep going fast) then roll as fast as your character can (again monitor stamina) once you reach the other side where the ladder is, run that short distance to it and go up, this can only be done if you manage your stamina, time, and most importantly health… or at least that’s what I did, may take a few try’s so I suggest to pour you souls into endurance or strength…
Best strenght wep in game with less stats requirements:Great Club. You only need 19 strenght to use it 2 handed and still makes good damage even if you only upgrade it without spending points into strenght,but if you want,only 28 is required to use one handed and the scale is still great.No other strenght wep rivalizes with this one based on stat requirement/damage and weight (also,very important imo,this wep has 12 units,not bad at all for what it delivers) combined. Just go from firelink shrine via new londo ruins,use master key,go for blightown area,descend all the way to the bottom and you will find this wep close to those boulder big boys that are fairly close to boss entrance area to the Northeast sort of. You are set to anilihate foes at this point without having the need to use hornet,red tearstone ring, or even buffs,but with those,well, even better X D
Beat this game for the first time with pyro build and help from the op pyro build. Now I’m trying strength build. No more magic fire balls. Wish me luck!
so awesome!!! im playing dark souls on ps3 right now but also ordered dark souls remastered so maybe ill try to follow this build. it was amazing how you destroyed the metal scorpion thing at the end
well 10 months later i just beat this. hardest bosses were in the dlc. i literally beat gwyn in eight hits without parrying. (had solaire with me, level 98 and +15 zweihander)
spent 12 hrs on this and was unable to do it in the order u did it and died alot but i am finaly done with this build i just got the sword to +8 thank you for the guide
Please do more! Being honest, I don’t use them, but it is really cool to see all of the combinations this game offers, and god I’ll watchem at least 20 times ;)
If i already know about the game, then i would know about the gravelord sword, or bkh, or flane great scythe ot any of the other twink gear. Making a guide for "gittin gud" if obviously going to be watched by newbs, why make it nearly inaccessible. The vague descriptions, combined with the accent, make this video nearly useless
I know this is three years old, but is there a trick to getting up the ladder after the hydra? It keeps oneshotting me as im climbing... Edit: figured it out, and after a very loud facepalm, its just a timing thing. Have to stand in the water next to the dry land and ladder, and move to the ladder ans climb after you hear the water shot. In case anyone was still attempting this.
Yeah I was wondering that because great club is the strongest strength weapon and it is in blighttown and can be gotten just as easily I also would have gone to the great hollow to grab the cloranthy ring. 2 amazing items that are not out of the way of her path.
Yeah I was wondering about that too! It’s soooo much easier to get than the DGM, costs zero souls, does more damage, more enemies are weaker to blunt, etc. I’m actually curious what the advantages of DGM even are over the great club.
Just use the souls duplication glitch right away on the soul of a proud knight that's right next to the undead dragon in valley of drakes. You can easily dupe 999 x 2000 souls right away, and level up any stats you'd like.
@@King-wn9qw Well I see now there are no glitches in this run, so I get that. But it's certainly not "early game" in my opinion as it would take several hours. The most OP that's truly "early game" is to kill the undead vendor for his Uchigatana, max out dexterity and get the ring of favor and protection and a few of the easily obtainable fire keeper souls.
1. Zwei 2. Parish farm to +5 3. Elite Knight set in Darkroot 4. Optional: Grab Artorias shield after Sif and at +5 even Manus will only ever tickle your stamina bar. You're good to go.
Nice.. i recently started a new game with barbarian and combletely forgot about Shiva and forest covenant.. and now i am on lv 15 in blighttown with unupgraded zweihander and red tearstone ring... i think ill just try yolo Quelaag while i am here.. and if it does not work ask Mildred for help... XD Btw.. if anybody is reading this.. imho.. maybe it would be good to return to undead asylum for rusted iron ring ( can walk in water and stuff without slowing you down ) before hydra and blighttown shennanigans...
I’ve tried a total of 47 times to get past the hydra and I’m genuinely convinced it’s pure rng. I managed to get on the ladder and time the shots right just for rng to make me fall off it backwards for no apparent reason. Fuck this game!
Just looking at the gargoyle fight at the beginning of the video and I already know what you did. I’m assuming you just took the short cut to the woods via the hydra and then met shiva, went back and took the short cut to blightown and then bought the demons greatsword from him there
How to be OP: - Go to Blighttown and get the big Bonk - Probably 19 strength to wield with 2 hands ( I can be wrong on this) - Use your souls to upgrade the weapon and get endurance - GG
Does this have to use bandit? Or can you roll a Pyromancer, Warrior, or Knight to do this run/playstyle? Idk, I just bought DS Remastered yesterday on my Switch and I haven't played it yet because I'm not too sure of what class I want to pick. I'm probs gonna follow this guide because it was so thorough, but I've been reading that the Pyromancer is the best class for a n00b. Lol. Plus, something about him being a great class that has access to a whole lot of skills without needing to level your character up to commit to anything until you really need to? Idk. I'm just perusing my options. Any opinions? Also, idk what gift to choose as a starting bonus item... Master Key seems cool but how do I know if I may pass through a door I maybe shouldn't pass through (heard it's easy to get lost of miss content with it...). :/
Watch the fighting cowboys play through. He does it with the master key and he talks about it in the first 1-4 episodes of his -then you’ll know more and can decide.
the 2 most important things I learned from this video:
1) You can cheese the Capra Demon
2) There's an entire area in Darkroot Garden that I never knew existed behind a fake tree
I was always wondered how you get up there with the blue light on the ledge at darkroot. Now I know, there was a hidden area.
dudeee right hahaha
for me it was the position of the stone armor set
What a great start getting eaten by a mimic
Just sums up 2020 really.
lol
Never got eaten by a mimic before
i shed a tear with the cheese on capra demon
This song on loop is lowly driving me into insanity, the bad kind of insanity.
One does not simply walk past the copy-right ban hammer (one plays 10 second of generic song no one likes over and over). Also great vid.

One at the start or the tracks playing in the background during the commentary?
You guys dont recognise it? Its literally the firelink shrine music.
i know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
You can also use the black knight greatsword if it drops from the black knight in the parish, great str weapon. Also the butcher knife from mildred
I have it and I have upgraded it to +3. That thing wrecks everything. I am now wondering if I should buy Demon's Great Machete and upgrade it or not.

I used this guide. Learned new things and beat the game in a new personal record.
Playing PS3 Prepare to Die, tried this out and it was magnificent. Getting past that hydra was a challenge but made it.
OP as a strength build? You mean literally any strength build?
Pretty much, but I finally left my comfort zone and did a Pyromancy Dex build and oh boy do I love it. Used Quelaag's furysword +5 and Uchigatana (or Iiato alternatively) +15.

For you to even have to explain it like that just shows how great these games are deep thought put into them
The hydra so annoying bruh
You probably have the best souls guides on youtube.
How to be OP:
- Go to Blighttown and get the big Bonk
- Probably 19 strength to wield with 2 hands ( I can be wrong on this)
- Use your souls to upgrade the weapon and get endurance
- GG
How do you not get hit by the water bubbles while climbing the ladder?
Obviously if it's your first play through don't do this but this looks hella fun 😂
It’s my first play through, should I do this or play normally
Well, it took me 12 hours to complete all these steps! But i am loaded and ready to go now! ty!
1:50 hey umm new to dark souls THAT DRAGON WAKES UP IF YOU GRAB THE WRONG SOUL
It's not a soul it's a shield that blocks magic and a sword that scales with faith. But if you grab the soul in his other hand it will be ok
I can’t do the hydra I keep getting g spit at when going up the ladder
It sucks as a new player trying to follow a Guide that’s breaking up the video and automatically assume that I magically know where everything is
There is a huge gap before you get to the hydra and when you first start it’s not daylight when you get there so you can’t see nothing
Ended up at the moon butterfly
Does this have to use bandit? Or can you roll a Pyromancer, Warrior, or Knight to do this run/playstyle? Idk, I just bought DS Remastered yesterday on my Switch and I haven't played it yet because I'm not too sure of what class I want to pick. I'm probs gonna follow this guide because it was so thorough, but I've been reading that the Pyromancer is the best class for a n00b. Lol. Plus, something about him being a great class that has access to a whole lot of skills without needing to level your character up to commit to anything until you really need to? Idk. I'm just perusing my options. Any opinions? Also, idk what gift to choose as a starting bonus item... Master Key seems cool but how do I know if I may pass through a door I maybe shouldn't pass through (heard it's easy to get lost of miss content with it...). :/
Watch the fighting cowboys play through. He does it with the master key and he talks about it in the first 1-4 episodes of his -then you’ll know more and can decide.
@@Dondillilochevrolet hey man at 4:25 can you tell me if that door is near the npc's that attack you ? Like at the fat cat area or a different area?
how the hell did you get the axe and spider shield in early game ???
backround music be sounding like the beat to ram ranch
Sweet video and excellent music! Keep up the good work.
Great vid!
GiantDad, Havel and PowerBazinga they are proud of you :)
