Le Steff lol naah =) i was a heavy build so he just pissed me off because he always kept jumping away, by the end i was too pissed off to care about him haha
Never noticed the dog before in the Blighttown wheel. Wow. Poor mutt. Knew everything else. (btw... the whole thing with Sif is even sadder if you fight her until she's only got a bit of HP left... then she starts stumbling around, unable to swing the sword without falling down. It's... heart-rending)
+matthew evans Depends. If you get the cutscene where sif recognizes you then yes, if sif doesnt recognize you then sif is only protecting Artorias' grave apparently.
I've been playing Dark Souls for about 2 years, and love finding its secrets, both through in-game and out-of-game sources. Surprised IGN of all places actually told me two 😂
Sif is a she? You can find the corpe of all the starting classes exept for deprived. One bandit in the depths another one in valley of the drakes. A wanderer in blighttown. Pyromancer in blighttown. Knight in dark root garden by the hydra. Warrior in gaping dragon boss room. Thief in lower undead berg. Sorcerer in lower undead berg. And a cleric on a ledge in the catacombs.
really? that's pretty cool! in DS2 I found some skeletons near the Skeleton lords that are wearing Vendrick's crown, not sure what it means, but it seems like no one either cares or noticed
i like how you know that the giant rat in the depths killed a bandit because you can find a spider shield on the ledge over the rat and the rat has a battleaxe in its eye.
+Quoub even though most of the time you find shortcut and secret by jump off the cliff? Like those run right to Pinwheel boss room when they just start to get some good stuff.
+Mani De Maki because he's protecting the ring of artorias (which lets you traverse the abyss) and he'd rather die than just giving you the ring and see you sucumb to the abyss like artorias did.
I doubt the average IGN viewer knows who is VaatiVidya (or ENB, etc.), so we can still give credit to IGN for at least doing some Dark Souls content for the mass public. It could interest someone to try it. Better late then never. \[T]/
Sif has some beautiful lore behind him. He was the trusty dog of the great knight artorias who sacrificed his left arm to protect Sif with the magic of his shield. Sif probably wanted to avenge Artorias by only letting someone strong enough to defeat him take the abyss ring. Otherwise the person would just be another sacrifice and the ring would be lost in the abyss forever. So he had to fight the chosen undead to prove him worthy and be able to join Artorias in the afterlife.
For the mimicks in ds1 and 3, you can distinguish them from real chests due to the chain that’s facing you. A real chest will always have the chain turned away from you
+OmegaMetroid93 Agreed, as much as it is nice to have lore handed to you on a plate by games most of the time, it's actually nice to have to fight for that lore now and then. DS's way of hiding lore in plain sight (mask of the mother one being a good example) makes it feel so satisfying when you find a piece. I was lucky enough to stumble on the Sif alt cut scene on my 2nd playthrough and it felt at the same time amazing, and heart breaking. I never enjoy the fight with Sif. Poor puppy. :(
You can also use the ramp in your first example, to kill the dragon with 53 firebombs and the dragon can't hurt you from there. Just be careful not to fall off the ramp because you step forward a little with each throw.
Kain Christ dlc. In the abyss. Take a direct left once you enter the abyss after the bonfire and keep going left till you see a cliff and a cat down below, follow the cat.
For those asking; Sif's gender is never stated or confirmed. Some just go by the name alone, which is a female Norse name, to conclude she is a female. So basically, there is no right or wrong answer to that question =)
+Wicked Wolf It means 'wife' or ''bride'...would Artorias name a partner of sorts wrong? By that logic you can safely determine that She is a She. Unless we are assuming Artorias is meant to be stupid and not know genders.
I've always thought it was questionable to be honest. For one thing, it's never stated what gender Sif is. There are many names that reference the Norse gods in the game, but when it comes to Sif, I don't see much to tie him/her to his/her namesake. I would think it's more Fenrir in this regard given his/her size and the obvious sword in the mouth, like the sword thrust into Fenrir's mouth by the gods. But would that then make Artorias Loki? Because that would make no sense lol.
+Wicked Wolf This really is painfully left out (although from soft may have wanted us to assume). But considering that I have spent a few hours protecting myself in Sif's crotch, it doesn't appear to have male genitals and if they were there, I would pity the chosen undead that much more.
Well done IGN! You actually told me something I didn't know while Vaati completely failed to do so! (Moonlight Butterfly eating the flowers on the bridge)
The only one that got me was the butterfly, but does anyone know if you get infected with the head parasite, which steals half your souls gained from killing enemies, and you feed it 100,000, it grows and your kick is replaced with a worm attack.
Oddly enough, it was premonitionly (it's a word, don't look it up) early considering BN just announced a Dark Souls remaster for all three current gen consoles.
@IGN Did you know that if you create quality videos you could have more subscribers, also most people probably don't know this but in the Ornstein and Smough boss fight Ornstein has a pommel on the back of his helmet but when you get his armor set it isn't there
+Steam-Powered Fox It is indeed a female name in norse mythology. However, Sif is a male. The french edition refers to him by the masculine term for wolf. Which is also the only version, not to have a neutral term.
+Kal So we're to take the french translation of this japanese game as definitive? Despite the japanese version not mentioning gender at all. Yeah, no. you're trying to be smart and it's not working.
I know it's IGN's outro slogan, but I still think it's a little bit silly to say "...and for everything Dark Souls, you're already in the right place: IGN". Trailers, demos, release dates - yes, but for "everything Dark Souls", I'd recommend these guys: *EpicNameBro, VaatiVidya, DaveControl, TerraMantis, fungo, Aegon Of Astora, SilverMont, SunlightBlade, PariahdigmShift, Vamz & Mir, A German Spy, OnlyAfro, Oroboro, PeevePeeverson, Redgrave, Jerks Sans Frontieres, Quelaag, IndeiMaus* I've probalby forgotten quite a few people, but these are the ones I could remember off the top of my head.
+Coltin Yancey if you think a seasoned dks1 or souls series vet in general wouldn't know these things then i bet you wouldn't believe it's very possible to speedrun every boss (including optional) sub 80 minutes.
+MonomaniacalNeedToKill Who didnt know this stuff? People who don't go out and watch every Dark Souls video and youtube channel and just look up little tips and facts. You can bash on IGN for making certain bad or uninformed videos, but the past few weeks they have been making very good videos with good commentating.
+5purg It's because you get ds1 for free with a ds3 preorder, and tonnes of people started with bloodborne so won't even know ANYTHING about ds1. Also ds1 is now backwards compatible on xbox one, so on xbox it's pretty alive at the moment. Even much more alive than scholar of the first sin is which is still the most recent souls for xbox.
Sif's gender has never been oficially announced, it's jus part of the community that treats him/her as a female because Sif is a woman's name in Norse mithology.
+hi im artorias Sif being a girl is not a fact, it's just the IGN writer's interpretation. The basilisk eyes are an obscure fact even to this day, which is funny. Things like the curse statues can be deduced from context and by just playing the game and observation.
Sif isn't female btw. In the french version of the game, he is called 'Le grand loup gris' which is the male version for Great gray wolf in english. If Sif is female, the name would be 'La grande louve grise' and it's not the case. Just wanna point this out.
Just before opening the door to fight Sif, you can jump onto a ledge to the left of the door. From there you can actually see Sif, and kill him with a bow.
+Blkangerzero99 Sif's gender is kind of a mystery. I think the whole idea of Sif being a female as opposed to male comes from his or her name, which is a female name in the Norse and the Old English language. Sif derives from the word "Sifjar", which means "to have an affinity or connection via marriage". Possibly symbolic of the relationship between Sif and Artorias. It is also worth noting that the Dark Souls wikidot has a disclaimer on Sif's gender, informing editors to use gender neutral pronouns.
You can Kill Manus in the Abyss without entering the fog by shooting him with the long bow and a hundred arrows or more beneath the bridge that you cross to the fog. It is kind of difficult to aim him but it is achievable. However, you would miss one of the greatest fights in the Dark Souls series.
In Dark Souls, if you were to stand still in the Crystal Caves and listen to the ambient background noises, you can just make out some creepy whispering every now and then.
You know that Capra isn't actually that hard. You just need to rush to the left side (up), kill the first dog, then the rest is easy. Capra will be up with You, but You can jump off and kill the second dog. Killing Capra after that is child's play.
+dune3001 Sorry to burst you bubble but many don't know about the cheese for Capra because we love the intensity of the battle with his 2 pups rushing you.
+dune3001 It's because you get ds1 for free with a ds3 preorder, and tonnes of people started with bloodborne so won't even know ANYTHING about ds1. Also ds1 is now backwards compatible on xbox one, so on xbox it's pretty alive at the moment. Even much more alive than scholar of the first sin is which is still the most recent souls for xbox.
I knew all of these except the moonlight butterfly one. Who would sit and wait while it landed and do nothing to see if its recharging minuscule amounts of health?
And here I thought I already knew everything about this game. Then I see that dog in the blighttown elevator wheel... This game will never cease to surprise me.
I think ds2 was the best, too many loyal fans that don't understand a good game when its in their face. Next they will be saying ds1 is better than ds3.
Did you guys know that the bed of chaos has a secret attack, Its nearly impossible to land it but it will pick you up and Crush your bones. You need to stand a the very front of the arena with your back turned ( before destroying the side things). Then it will satart to shake and Reach out its Salad fingers and Your dead (As if this will justify why its there... No nothing will)
did you know that you can stand in the middle right in front of bed of chaos and destroy the 2 things on the sides with firebombs? and then you can casually walk up the middle and kill him without a single sweat
In Dark Souls 3, if you travel to the Smouldering Lake, you can find Quelaag. She's dead and entirely made of ash now, but it's still pretty cool nonetheless.
I knew all of these. Did you know you can one shot the final boss? Did you know you can kill the bug inside the bed of chaos from a distance? Did you know you can kill the asylum demon before you get any weapons? Did you know you can skip ceaseless discharge and centipede demon?
Vaati showed pretty much all of those back in 2013 and nobody can be cheaper than the one throwing firebombs at capra demon from outside the boss room.
okay, when i saw the vid i thought "meh, this'll be easy and i already know all of these". but you caught me off guard on that moonlight butterfly one.
No gonna lie, I already knew most of these, except for the firebomb trick. Usually I just run past him and up the stairs, kill the dogs since Capra Demon doesn't follow, and then calmly fight him. It's a short, fun fight, so I don't wanna cheese it. Did you know, however, that in the catacombs there is a shortcut where by falling off certain ledges, you will land on a ledge with some armor AND a sign to summon Paladin Leeroy for the Pinwheel fight? It's so easily missed but such a nice little thing, considering most players go to the catacombs WAY later in the game than when they should.
Did you know that the Crystal Ring Shield's texture changes slightly when summoned as a Phantom? (I'm not sure if this was intended or is just a clash in the texture file when colored by a Phantom's color.)
Dark Souls is so good that even makes a video of IGN good
Roight.
+Daniel Goulart Uh... thanks I guess!
+Daniel Goulart agreed
+IGN S2
+Daniel Goulart that burn
Killing Sif is already sad enough... From Software really wanted us to suffer
yeah.....
+Le Steff This was more subtle. But From Software made it more obvious in Bloodborne with the little girl NPC.
+Le Steff lol i didnt really care for sif... (havnt played the DLC) also Rammstein fur immer!
smidget whittington
Didn't you think about what you where doing in the final stage when Sif was wounded and couldn't really harm you anymore?
Le Steff lol naah =) i was a heavy build so he just pissed me off because he always kept jumping away, by the end i was too pissed off to care about him haha
Did you know that if you use an estoc in DS III you make people angry?
eventhough its easy parryable
Harleking easy to parry*
Harleking Even*
Harleking it's*
thanks for pointing out that english isnt my native language.
Actually didn't know the butterfly one, I have always killed it to fast to notice.
Same.
true only thing i didnt know :D
of all the flowers she can eat and she ate the one that makes her an easy target.
+Crestial “Hendry” Wintersmith Seath wasn't very thorough when he created them. He gave it too many chromosomes.
Mike Heiser LMAO
Here's a secret. The Pendant has an actual use. Feed it to Frampt for 1,000 souls. What? I never said it was a good use.
You can also trade it with Snuggly the Crow for a souvenir of reprisal.
You can also trade it with me for straight sword hilt or rubbish ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I use it for the Manus battle and it's useful, if ye mean that pendant.
He was talking about the "joke" pendant from the gift menu at the character creation screen, not the one that you've mentioned
1000 souls at that point is like 100
Never noticed the dog before in the Blighttown wheel. Wow. Poor mutt.
Knew everything else.
(btw... the whole thing with Sif is even sadder if you fight her until she's only got a bit of HP left... then she starts stumbling around, unable to swing the sword without falling down. It's... heart-rending)
I remember hearing that Sif doesn't want you getting the ring because she/he doesn't want you ending up like his/her master (can't spell his name)
+TYGER Shrk abyss walker is his game
+matthew evans naah... he was just protecting his master's grave... there are no other dramas
+matthew evans Depends. If you get the cutscene where sif recognizes you then yes, if sif doesnt recognize you then sif is only protecting Artorias' grave apparently.
Sif is a girl
Sif a dude
My favorite game of all time :)
+puffwad Same here bro!
Preach
Same
+puffwad can't wait for dark souls 3
looks so awesome!!!
Same here. Dark Souls is a master piece.
"8 things we took the time to Google about Dark Souls"
+Flush Nutch 8 things we took from Vaatividyas videos
the capra demon one and the butterfly one were completely new to me. Thanks IGN, for once you were good.
Same
+VenomtheOne i knew about the capra but i did not know that the butterfly heals it self i taught it was just an attack
+VenomtheOne dung pies also work for the capra demon and are funnier imo
i knew about the Butterfly regenerating health, but i didn't know it was because of the flowers. it was clever.
+VenomtheOne Same. I knew about the ramp near the dragon, but it never occurred to me to use it like that.
I've been playing Dark Souls for about 2 years, and love finding its secrets, both through in-game and out-of-game sources. Surprised IGN of all places actually told me two 😂
Poor Sif. Sleep tight pupper.
Sif is a she?
You can find the corpe of all the starting classes exept for deprived. One bandit in the depths another one in valley of the drakes. A wanderer in blighttown. Pyromancer in blighttown. Knight in dark root garden by the hydra. Warrior in gaping dragon boss room. Thief in lower undead berg. Sorcerer in lower undead berg. And a cleric on a ledge in the catacombs.
really? that's pretty cool!
in DS2 I found some skeletons near the Skeleton lords that are wearing Vendrick's crown, not sure what it means, but it seems like no one either cares or noticed
+Sunwakka The hunters set is in dark root too.
+Sunwakka You can also find the Plank Shield in the path to The Great Hollow.
i like how you know that the giant rat in the depths killed a bandit because you can find a spider shield on the ledge over the rat and the rat has a battleaxe in its eye.
+Sunwakka i know why you cant find the deprived, its said that he was buried with all his/her possessions stolen
I actually knew all of these because you just showed me...
+MA5D Assault Rifle H5 thank you, thank you. "Please Clap"
+ExtinctZach * clap clap * lol
+ExtinctZach No.
+ExtinctZach But "knew" refers to you knowing it beforehand
+Lelouch Vi Britannia you can't logic into this conversation
Knew all of these except the Moonlight Butterfly one. Pleasantly surprised because I've played this game too much. (or not enough)
Oh I got a good secret for you guys! Alright, so did you know that if you jump off of a cliff you die?
Of course you knew
Filthy Casual.
+Quoub The cliff after killing Priscilla doesn't kill you.
+Quoub even though most of the time you find shortcut and secret by jump off the cliff?
Like those run right to Pinwheel boss room when they just start to get some good stuff.
+Shikni Ful I think that's the point of his "filthy casual" addendum :p Only casuals "know" that jumping off a cliff kills you in Dark Souls.
+Shikni Ful Only casuls need shortcuts.
+Quoub hackers know
Sif's tragic cutscene gets me every damn time...
+Mr Equilibrium
Why does he decide to fight anyway in the secret cutscene? I'm not sure..
+Mani De Maki because he's protecting the ring of artorias (which lets you traverse the abyss) and he'd rather die than just giving you the ring and see you sucumb to the abyss like artorias did.
+Mani De Maki Sif tries to stop you so you don't end up like Artorias.
Gaming Cu Vlad | GaminGHD.ro
Ah right, such a well executed story
+Mani De Maki Yeah, it really is unique.
If only vaati hadn't find all these ages before you guys...
+ldmt1995 ikr xD IGN is so bad at their job
+ldmt1995 i bet IGN found most of this from them
I doubt the average IGN viewer knows who is VaatiVidya (or ENB, etc.), so we can still give credit to IGN for at least doing some Dark Souls content for the mass public. It could interest someone to try it. Better late then never. \[T]/
I knew everything except the dog powered elevator. I'm a huge fan of dark souls and I've never noticed that

For the mimicks in ds1 and 3, you can distinguish them from real chests due to the chain that’s facing you. A real chest will always have the chain turned away from you
or just hit all the chest first before you open it
Damn, I didn't know any of these.
This game is ridiculously deep with it's lore. It's awesome!
+OmegaMetroid93 Too bad it's so hidden.
Marcelo Henrique Chaves I don't see that as a negative. If anything, it just makes it way cooler when you find it.
+OmegaMetroid93 Agreed, as much as it is nice to have lore handed to you on a plate by games most of the time, it's actually nice to have to fight for that lore now and then.

Isn't it just better to do that with bow?
never knew about the butterfly. but also sifs AI is less aggressive if you get the special cutscene
Precisely where is it that we need to go to get that scene?

Only thing I did not know was that the Butterfly heals slightly. And I have a legit roughly 4k hours in this game. x'D
This is a good IGN video. Well done! Finally!
Did we watch the same video..??
Only because dark souls carried IGN
did not know about the butterfly
Whats that?
You want to make the Sif fight more depressing...
Sure.
Well, apparently I've played too much Dark Souls, I knew all of these!
these weren't really that secret. .. except that ramp, but that dragon never gave me problems in the first place
Well done IGN! You actually told me something I didn't know while Vaati completely failed to do so! (Moonlight Butterfly eating the flowers on the bridge)
I had no idea about the Moonlight Butterflie's hp regan.
The only one that got me was the butterfly, but does anyone know if you get infected with the head parasite, which steals half your souls gained from killing enemies, and you feed it 100,000, it grows and your kick is replaced with a worm attack.
+Souls Fanatic yes, also thanks to the videos of vaatividya who did the "things you didnt know about darksouls" series.
New all of these but the butterfly one. Nice video IGN
IGN making a come back?? These Dark Souls vids are really good.
Damn that sif one always broke my heart. 💔 the animation of sif not wanting to pick up the sword but being duty bound. Broke my heart every time!
I'm surprised they didn't call it Dark Souls One. Thank you for actually calling it by its title, IGN.

This..... this is really late. Like, years late.
Dark Souls got a recent surge of popularity because DS3 was released, so they wanted to cash in on that.

Could have been "9 Dark Souls Secrets..."

Read the title: "pff, probably i know all of 'em".
Watched the video: "I knew none of 'em!" :V
It’s not like the watch mojo version
I've played like over 500 hours of this game and didn't even know half of the stuff mentioned here. Great video!
the sif ones pretty sad
Didn't know #5 and #7.
Good grief, Pinwheel is such a fantastic boss with the lore behind him.
best game of all time for me
i clicked on this just to waste a couple minutes before a meeting, but i actually learned 6 new things, thanks.
*PRAISE THE SUN*
Just before opening the door to fight Sif, you can jump onto a ledge to the left of the door. From there you can actually see Sif, and kill him with a bow.

Lol they should admit they took all these from vatii
Yeah these are all from vatii
Yeah lol I'm disliking because they didn't give credit to Vatii or the others
not only did they copy him, but they also used his lines
And did you know vatii steals his facts from dedicated souls reddit users and doesnt credit them. lmao
Um... they took this from Dark Souls. The same way Vaati got his information from Dark Souls. Vaati does not own the Dark Souls series.
"You're in the know right? therefore, you're in the know." Top notch Bloodborne messages! XD
nice video ign
You can Kill Manus in the Abyss without entering the fog by shooting him with the long bow and a hundred arrows or more beneath the bridge that you cross to the fog. It is kind of difficult to aim him but it is achievable. However, you would miss one of the greatest fights in the Dark Souls series.
Are you kidding me?....
We are going to play dark souls 3 and you're recycling some stuff like this?
IGN dont you have something better to do?
+ThePruld I bet you should be doing something else too, if I recall correctly, sir. Something with a 3...
+ThePruld peccato hanno già scritto quello che volevo dirti, ma vabbè, non predicare bene quando razzoli male ;-)
Giulio988 Io stavo scherzando, IGN si merita ben più di semplici critiche. Ma la mia vita è vuota senza nuovi video di Pruld.
anch'io ruzzo, mettevo solo il dito nella piaga, così tanto per...
+ThePruld take on meeeee
In Dark Souls, if you were to stand still in the Crystal Caves and listen to the ambient background noises, you can just make out some creepy whispering every now and then.
Most of these facts are already in vattividya's videos.
+Sexy_Kid And probably someone elses too, what's your point?
Daniel DaBomb if you were competent you would get that my point is that they are similar
+Sexy_Kid competent enough to realise that it's irrelevant.
The Capra Demon Cheese Bombing is a god damn lifesaver, thanks guys!
You know that Capra isn't actually that hard. You just need to rush to the left side (up), kill the first dog, then the rest is easy. Capra will be up with You, but You can jump off and kill the second dog. Killing Capra after that is child's play.
i knew all of these so ...
The sif, statues, and Capra ones I knew the others no idea. Nice video lol I've sunk a load of time in these games and have much more to learn.
git gud ign
wow ign it took you many many years to notice the most common "secrets" the only one I didn't know was the dog in blight town
you guys are kinda late with these facts, almost everyone who is a souls fan knew this stuff by now.
+dune3001 Eh. I didn't know about cheesing Capra.
+dune3001 me neither
+dune3001 you are kinda hipster
+dune3001 Sorry to burst you bubble but many don't know about the cheese for Capra because we love the intensity of the battle with his 2 pups rushing you.
+dune3001 It's because you get ds1 for free with a ds3 preorder, and tonnes of people started with bloodborne so won't even know ANYTHING about ds1.
Also ds1 is now backwards compatible on xbox one, so on xbox it's pretty alive at the moment. Even much more alive than scholar of the first sin is which is still the most recent souls for xbox.
I knew all of these except the moonlight butterfly one. Who would sit and wait while it landed and do nothing to see if its recharging minuscule amounts of health?
+SuperSpider51 those people who asked the question of why it does that = curiosity
Those on the Basilisks aren't eyes, they're actually their breasts
wow... even after alll these years... the Dragon path way, Capra Demon bombing and butterfly regen is still new to me... you win, thumbs up...
And here I thought I already knew everything about this game. Then I see that dog in the blighttown elevator wheel...
This game will never cease to surprise me.
Didn't get me, I know everything on DkS. Just don't make a DkSII vid, I didn't bother with that snorefest.
K
Ds2 was GREEAAT
+knightofparty knightofparty Dks2 was such a disappointment compared to it's predecessor ;-; But if you don't compare them, yeah it's a decent game
ds2*
I think ds2 was the best, too many loyal fans that don't understand a good game when its in their face. Next they will be saying ds1 is better than ds3.
Only thing I didn't know about was the ramp by the dragon. Considering how many hours I put into this game I'm really surprised I didn't find this.
Did you guys know that the bed of chaos has a secret attack,
Its nearly impossible to land it but it will pick you up and Crush your bones. You need to stand a the very front of the arena with your back turned ( before destroying the side things). Then it will satart to shake and Reach out its Salad fingers and Your dead
(As if this will justify why its there... No nothing will)
did you know that you can stand in the middle right in front of bed of chaos and destroy the 2 things on the sides with firebombs? and then you can casually walk up the middle and kill him without a single sweat
In Dark Souls 3, if you travel to the Smouldering Lake, you can find Quelaag. She's dead and entirely made of ash now, but it's still pretty cool nonetheless.
I knew all of these.
Did you know you can one shot the final boss?
Did you know you can kill the bug inside the bed of chaos from a distance?
Did you know you can kill the asylum demon before you get any weapons?
Did you know you can skip ceaseless discharge and centipede demon?
The rescue of Sif an his/her last attempt to safe you from the Abyss makes me cry time and time again
Didn't know the butterfly one and the mother mask statues. Little things like that are apart of why the Souls series is so phenomenal.
knew all but the butterfly, thought he was gonna talk about it's blue orb attack
Vaati showed pretty much all of those back in 2013 and nobody can be cheaper than the one throwing firebombs at capra demon from outside the boss room.
How many people know that Frampt has attack and death animations, even though he can't actually attack or die?
Well, this doesn't matter, as it's only possible by debugging the game.
I didn't know that butterfly one. That's a good answer to the contrivance of "well melee players need an opportunity"
Why does the Sif alternating cut scene always get me? I saw that thing so many times but it still get me.
okay, when i saw the vid i thought "meh, this'll be easy and i already know all of these". but you caught me off guard on that moonlight butterfly one.
No gonna lie, I already knew most of these, except for the firebomb trick. Usually I just run past him and up the stairs, kill the dogs since Capra Demon doesn't follow, and then calmly fight him. It's a short, fun fight, so I don't wanna cheese it. Did you know, however, that in the catacombs there is a shortcut where by falling off certain ledges, you will land on a ledge with some armor AND a sign to summon Paladin Leeroy for the Pinwheel fight? It's so easily missed but such a nice little thing, considering most players go to the catacombs WAY later in the game than when they should.
Did you know that the Crystal Ring Shield's texture changes slightly when summoned as a Phantom?
(I'm not sure if this was intended or is just a clash in the texture file when colored by a Phantom's color.)
