I will never stop saying how much I love this game, sure it's arbitrarily more difficult due to ADP scaling and some weird bosses, but it was my first and still my favorite souls game
This was also my first Souls game, which makes it my favourite game of all time. Also, the PVP was by far the best. The slower pace and better movesets made dueling a lot more deeper and so much more intricate. Whereas the other games it's mostly just R1 spam to infinity.
So I didnt finish watching the WR run for all bosses and when I come back I notest that this is a different run with another WR! God damn legend! I have no chance of seeing these live, so thanks for the yt uploads.
The scholar run looks a lot different to the last time I have seen it - admittedly it has been a long while. It doesn’t see like cancer anymore and is even enjoyable to watch. Well done on yet another record.
Parrywalking has completely changed the entire run. He's been getting multiple WRs for weeks now and the time differences between them are the span of *minutes.*
@@nahdontevenstart People unironically name themselves after bosses of the game, while commenting on a vid with the exact game, acting like they know everything. I already told you you're 100% 😼sy
Oh baby, we're gonna see sub 2 hours soon, I can feel it. This was a great run, even with a bunch of small errors. I'm really excited to see how you do next.
Watching that bit where you go straight from talking to Shalquoir to the bottom of The Gutter and through Black Gultch in like 20 seconds was pretty neat, and that parry skip to Lost Sinner is pretty bonkers too. I don't speed run so I didn't know that was a technique to be able to move around/through the collision. I would never have thought you could enter that Lost Bastille door that opens to a death drop from the outside lol.
I hope when we go to heaven we can just chill and play games. Hopefully i can just sit and work on speedrunnung this games man. I really love the speedrun scene of DS games. Always nuts to see people treat it like its cod on easy mode. Meanwhile i took like weeks to solo every boss but fume knight. I never was able
Man I absolutely love this game. Just started the 1st dlc for vanilla ds2, 60 hours in lol Once im done with vanilla I'll move on to scholar. This is probably my fave ds game.
@@themangotango95 because I really love dark souls 2. Scholar of the first sin made some changes to the vanilla game like different enemy placement, different item locations, and you have to go and find the 3 dlc keys instead of just having them in your inventory, as well as other changes. I like the game so much I'd love to try scholar out after I beat the vanilla game completely, as well as all three dlcs
@@systemrecords9708 hey man it sounds like you really do love this game. I’m just starting the sunken king dlc after playing through the rest of the game for the first time. Some parts are super frustrating but the game is not as bad as I had thought for so long
@@themangotango95 yeah this was my first souls game so it will always be special to me. Plus this game has the best fashion souls, best pvp, and powerstancing. So it has a lot of great things going for it. Also, the sheer size of the game and it has SO many armors, weapons, items, magics/spells/miracles/pyromancies, its crazy how much stuff is in this game. Plus a nice meaty main game and three entire dlcs to add onto that. What more could a ds fan want really? Sure this game did some things differently from the original dark souls that not everyone was a fan of, but I don't mind at all. I enjoy this game immensely and am still working on it. Granted since elden ring came out I've had less time to play this game but I will definitely be getting back to it. Im glad you're enjoying it as well, if given a fair chance the game really is somthing awesome.
Would doing the pursuer cheese at the cardinal tower where you jump the ladder save any time in the beginning or do you think that killing him with the ballista is still faster? I’m genuinely curious because you’d get enough souls to get the bright bug and other stuff to get the soul ring and you’d have ring of blades before last giant so it’d make that fight faster too I’m just speculating I don’t know if it would be a time save or not
@@BlondeMcGuinnDragonrider also gets cheesed, but it still counts. So cheesing the Pursuer would also count, because the Boss version dies, and you get the Soul of the Pursuer. But killing the boss version would be faster, because you only spend like maybe 10 seconds on the fight, while cheesing the previous version would take a little longer.
Also idkiyk but if you use a brightbug, get yourself wet/drenched, quit out and load back in, brightbug is infinite till death or the next loading screen
He needed the guy to sell the butterfly clothes. Only in ng+ (that's why the Bonfire ascetic) and if You speended x amount of souls in his shop, he will sell it. It's needed for the most important trick in the run, the parrywalk in current pacht.
I've been watching this influx of Dist Scholar record avidly since it started a little while back and obviously what I'm waiting for as with everyone else is the glorious sub 2 hours which is fast approaching. But as I was watching this one a question occurred, entirely out pure curiosity because I know it couldn't be an official run or anything for good reason, but what's the upper limit on how fast you could kill all bosses in this version if you used NG to stack the deck entirely in your favour? Procure every consumable, weapon, piece of armour, spell, level you'd need and specifically build the most OP character possible and then tackle all bosses in the first NG cycle basically. Obviously the enemies have more health and deal more damage in the cycles, but the first NG+ isn't ridiculous and the kind of character I'm thinking about should make even NG7 a breeze for speedrunners who make not getting hit look so easy anyhow. I'm thinking that the sheer time you'd save in menuing and collectathons would outweigh any extra time on boss fights, if indeed they even would take longer with such an OP character. I know that Scholar adds some extra things like NPC summons in NG cycles, at least I think it does, but I can't for the life of me remember if any of these would present any kind of issue, I doubt it tbh, but possibly one outside Drangleic castle entrance if my memory isn't failing me could be annoying, still don't think it would make a huge difference really. So yeah what would the upper limit be on that, how much faster might it be, anyone have any idea?
Hey Dist, amazing run as usual. I have a question im very curious about - do you now like running scholar more than vanilla ds2? or is this just to get the record for scholar on top of the record for vanilla? or do you prefer scholar now?
Fume Knight to me was and is the hardest boss in DS2. I solo every boss except him. Idk he always gave me issues but im ok with it. But i see this guy that walks up naked with a pointy stick and ggwp. Fume Knight was nothin omg. I am afraid of this man. Are you the true Dark Soul?
I totally understand why ds2 Gets the hate it does, I can See where people are coming from, but I absolutely love it, I easily have more hours in ds2 than 1 or 3
He's been playing for years practicing the same shit over and over. He probably was just as good as you are in the past. You can't compare yourself to speedrunners. Learning this shit is tedious asf. But goddamn does it feel good
Watch the recommended player status build for this. I always feel like I’m not hitting the right amount of dmg output on boss runs? Also awesome gameplay

Amen brother, same here. My first souls game, the game that got me hooked on dark souls. I simply adore this game.
