CharLa Hadyn i can understand, ludex was my first DS boss ever and i was so scared, i beat him on my first try but DAMN i only survived because i choose the HP ring
You know I feel so lucky because I had multiple friends who had already beaten DS3 so I had good help through the game. Now I'm doing NG+1 mostly solo to get the true Dark Souls experience.
As a completionist it hurts my OCD to see speedruns like this but I LOVE how you make it look so fluent. Great job, and I am so happy that you explained everything you do and why you do it
Geez that was amazing ! Anri's straight-up broken sword is pretty clutch for speed running , huh? Never used that before but I will now! Too bad I'm only barely average at souls games . This'd be impossible for me.
Thanks Phoenix! Anri's is defiintely pretty broken because it scales with luck, which also happens to scale bleed. Mix in the fact that almost all DS3 bosses can be bleed and it makes for a powerful tool!
Been following your videos for quite some time now. Definitely one of my favorite RUclipsrs. I clicked on this video simply for the background noise (considering how long it is) and I ended up watching the whole damn thing. Great video man. Keep up the great work!
ive been playing ds series for a while, but i got bored with the normal playthrough of the game so have been looking for a way to make ds3 more interesting/ fun to play again.. thanks so much for helping me with this man, your commentary is super helpful and really fun to watch!
I was fighting the Nameless King while watching this, and your soothing voice helped me stay calm and focused. I finally beat him after 10 tries. Thank you
i like how im watching a speed run walkthrough when it took me 3 weeks to kill pontiff and im totaling 100 hours and haven’t even reached twin princes yet lmao
I think I was lucky I did the Anri questline by accident and had an ember. I also summoned Gothard to top off the phantom count to beat pontiff first time. Edit: 55-60 hours in, first 3 lords and Dragonslayer armor down, fighting nameless.
Tipp for animation-cancel on the ashes at the end: 1) for lithric's throne, you wanna run behind it go up to its side, and than jut run straight forward and mash X. When you drop down, it should cancel the animation. It always worked for me when I tried it. 2) for the watcher' throne, I am nt sure but I think there is a little ledge before the prince's throne. Drop down there, and while you running towards the wather's throne, mash X again. So basically there are 2 dropping points, and you have to mash X (or the button that would place it).
Talking about hitting the Nameless King: Hit him with the one time! *YA!* Hit him with the 2 time! *YA! YA!* Hit him with the 3 time! *YA! YA! YA!* LET'S GO! *YAYAYAYAYAYA!*
Dude you are skilled! It took me like 60 hours-ish to finish Dark Souls 1 and I love how you killed Pontiff 1st go while me and my cousin spent ages trying to kill him!
i’m getting back into the souls series after beating the second and third in high school and i just got to one and it makes me want to play through every game again
i havent gotten into speedrunning yet but i think im gonna try BB soon as thats the soulsborne game ive played the most. I stayed to watch this whole video mostly because i just liked listening to you talking (which idk if it is weird) but anyway i love your channel and keep up the great work.
yeah... you can... I tried it but I suck at timing... I can easily parry his first phase but I died like 15 times before i successfully parried him for both phase 1 and phase 2
This is my exact problem, I wreck Champion Gundyr's first phase, then die instantly to his second. Some of his attacks seem to deadangle you too, so that may be one cause.
I'm so proud of you dmod lol. I've been watching those streams and it's amazing how much you've improved and now that you've master dark souls 3 (for the most part) are you gunna do a blodoborne speed run? Wether you do or not i still love ya. keep being amazing you beautiful beautiful man.
Maaan. Mod, or Mr. Cracy? Whatever you prefer. Really digging you and your content! I had no idea a game like Dark Souls 3 could be speed runned but damn you crushed it. And while I'll never be good enough to get that level, it's super cool that you're providing advice for prospective speed runners. Also you're just an all around gem and you're sense of humor is great. Really looking forward to your future stuff!
I can't watch much because i just play DS3 (last bosses i killed were Watchers and Deacons), but i thought i watch it up to where i am and then save the rest for later. Cool run so far and the commentary is great, i can learn a lot 😁
wow! cool run! :D FYI the Anri's straight sword gives you a small hp/sec regeneration, and when you equip it you get the first "tick" of the hp regen instantly. So when you unequip-equip it fast you're healed by frekvent first hp regen ticks.
I'll likely do the same thing for any game I speedrun on Twitch in the future. Bloodborne is next on the list! I'll be sure to do another once the DS3 DLC comes out too
this is cool! ive never played one of these games it was fun to watch you speedrun it haha. if i ever get a play station system definitely getting one of these games.
because he does mostly soulsborne content and his content will only really be watched by dark souls fans whereas other youtubers who play multiple games generally have a higher sub count.
Austin Straza vaati is innovative in the world of lore. Lobos jr. Does challenge runs. This guy is doing something that's cool, but it's not like anything unseen.
I'm starting to play games again for the first time since mid to late 90s when duke 3d,quake and Diablo were the games to play. these new games especially DS3 look awesome but I miss coop couch mode games when you and a friend can play together and not relying on multiplayer ppl you don't know. is there a game like this that can be played either split screen or couch mode? I wish this game was because the gameplay is awesome and challenging instead of dozens of weak enemies cardboard cutouts over and over this has a nice variety that arnt just 1 hit bumps in the road.
For some reason RUclips was not allowing me to subscribe to your channel. I had to wait a full day before it successfully registered that I am subscribed. Thanks for showing your route in a video! I'm probably going to be attempting to do this same run very soon. Hope to get it all recorded as well (:
First playthrough i didnt understand the ancient vywern fight so i just fought it like a normal boss. Almost threw my controller because "plunging attack" was written literally everywhere there could be something written.
I consider this to be god like skill if you can easily beat all bosses and expose their weaknesses that quickly. Something I'll never be able to do, this is truly impressive.
Theres a guy that does awesome speedruns for bloodborne with great commentary hes done 2 at agdq with excellent commentary throughout Name is HeyZeusHeresToast Huge beard you'll know its him lol
I am trying to solo every SoulsBorne game. I have already done dark souls 2 and am working on dark souls for PC and dark souls 3 for PS4. I have yet to do BB because of that dlc and I don't even own demons souls so i have to wait on that one but more of these videos would be awesome. I found this one to be really helpful. Thanks so much demod and keep up the good content
on my first playthrough i died once to pontiff and that's because I panicked. I'm not a veteran to the series and even found skyrim to be difficult. I have definitely advanced as a gamer.
Altairdabest Sevenfold hey man congrats hope you started playing the others and maybe can find a way to play bloodbourne and demons souls if you can if you haven't already umbasa and praise the sun
I wondered why you only have 92k subs, then I noticed that I'm not even a subscriber...:D So it's because of guys like me, who sees someone with a channel packed of great content, but still not click on that sub icon. So I subbed...
Just did my first speedrun-ish kind of run. DS3 NG+2 any % real time of 1:10:51, no quit outs. Was really doing just to rush through to NG+7 but thought it would be fun to time. Never done any real runs or studied any stats, but I think I could cut it down by at least 5 minutes just by quick menu-ing, better stamina usage, and generally running more efficiently. I might have to start doing legit runs, it was fun.
What happens if you get invaded by another player? Can it happen or do you play offline? Sorry if it happened somewhere in the playthrough, i didn't watch all of it.
Awesome walkthrough. This commentary is going to be super helpful. I don't have the game for PC-- do you know if it's possible to get similar times on a console? This'll be the first time I ever try to speedrun anything.
I just love this game. I usually don't like 'goth' themes and had my doubts on tackling this series - but I've come to love it. It truly deserves it's Classic status - brilliant series. 💫💯
Me: “Oh wow speedrunning this looks really fun!”
Also me: *completely unable to not pick up items*
Ah one of us, screwing ourselves over to pick up an item that we will NEVER EVER use
(DeModcracy after 1:16:44 in Dark Souls 3) I beat the game.
(Me 1:16:44 in Dark Souls 3) I finally beat Iunex Gundyr
CharLa Hadyn i can understand, ludex was my first DS boss ever and i was so scared, i beat him on my first try but DAMN i only survived because i choose the HP ring
You know I feel so lucky because I had multiple friends who had already beaten DS3 so I had good help through the game. Now I'm doing NG+1 mostly solo to get the true Dark Souls experience.
Aero Neon you'll never get the true experience even if you beat it again with no help
Haydn CharLs nah toke me 3 hours to finish the Farrin Keep thing
Haydn CharLs git gud
Please don't kill Pontiff Sulyhavan on your first try.
You're supposed to suffer repeatedly to him.
its a speedrun if he does die over and over the run is lost
+Hamza Jaouhari You're an idiot.
+Hamza Jaouhari you're not very bright, are you?
+Hamza Jaouhari Boy, you stupid.
+Hamza Jaouhari boi
OMG the idea to lace commentary over the run, explaining the mindset to the strat, thumbs up, and now subbed
Glad you enjoyed it Ty!
I no speed runner, don’t misunderstand, but I use speedrun tactics in my regular play through
Used this tactic to get the greatsword to do a Guts run recently.
Beat the game for my first time recently in around 10 hours mostly cause I skipped areas using these strategies
I quit out on doors randomly
Jarl Sunshot same I always speed run the cathedral after the abyss watchers I hate them skeletons
Mad learning fams
you beat the entire game by the time i got to vordt
Best Anime lol
WhyDoesMyMotherHitMeWhenIDoNothingWrong? i like your name bro
He beat the game in the time that it took me to beat the tutorial... D:
Ooga Booga where is the King nameless?
I only defeated the tutorial boss in lass 4 hours of gameplay
Proness overloaded
poor Anri, ended up sacrificed in the end anyway. not to Aldrich, but to the church of Going Fast.
Lol i love how the bosses are named.
"Pope Gankers"
He's so pro he speaks with the mouth closed.
No I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and believe you are being sarcastic. If you aren't then you are and idiot
@@aero9412 Comedy is a thing lol
@@aero9412 r/woosh
Yeah I was a dumbass, thanks for pointing this out to me definitely a comment I regret after a year or two
Aero lol
As a completionist it hurts my OCD to see speedruns like this but I LOVE how you make it look so fluent. Great job, and I am so happy that you explained everything you do and why you do it
Just finished this game for the first time, took 42 hours... :/
new to the souls series?
+Hamza Jaouhari He could of just took his time and explore the areas ffs.
my first playtrough took 25 hours sooo
Jo Jo ive started doing pvp afterwards
Jo Jo and I.have my ng+ char ready for the dlc
This man does more in 30 min than I could in a month XD
wow, I'm an idiot, I never thought of using an alluring skull during the Deacons battle...
Same
It’s a game changer
Alex C. This is true. They can be really useful against invaders
It’s an easy enough fight that you don’t really have to consider it unless speedrunning or doing extremely low level.
Geez that was amazing ! Anri's straight-up broken sword is pretty clutch for speed running , huh? Never used that before but I will now! Too bad I'm only barely average at souls games . This'd be impossible for me.
Thanks Phoenix! Anri's is defiintely pretty broken because it scales with luck, which also happens to scale bleed. Mix in the fact that almost all DS3 bosses can be bleed and it makes for a powerful tool!
Summary of the run
"this is what you wanna do , but if yo'ull see I fucked it up there."
Been following your videos for quite some time now. Definitely one of my favorite RUclipsrs. I clicked on this video simply for the background noise (considering how long it is) and I ended up watching the whole damn thing. Great video man. Keep up the great work!
ive been playing ds series for a while, but i got bored with the normal playthrough of the game so have been looking for a way to make ds3 more interesting/ fun to play again.. thanks so much for helping me with this man, your commentary is super helpful and really fun to watch!
He ended it in 1:16:44
In 1:30:00 I was on Cliff Underside Bonfire
This is great! Thank you for taking the time to explain the speed run, it's very helpful to see why speed runners do what they do.
Love that you made a commentary vid. Definitely like hearing why you do each thing
I was fighting the Nameless King while watching this, and your soothing voice helped me stay calm and focused. I finally beat him after 10 tries. Thank you
Seriously great run (even if you think it's sloppy!) the commentary has helped me immensely!
Thanks chainmailstud! I'm always critical of myself so I can improve, but I'm super glad I could help!
Great video man, I'm trying to get into speedrunning too and this helped SOOO much, I had like no idea what I was doing before...
i like how im watching a speed run walkthrough when it took me 3 weeks to kill pontiff and im totaling 100 hours and haven’t even reached twin princes yet lmao
100h and not even the whole game wtf how i completed it with 60-70ish hours and i was exploring ALOT , farming minimum 10h~ no hate tho
I think I was lucky I did the Anri questline by accident and had an ember. I also summoned Gothard to top off the phantom count to beat pontiff first time.
Edit: 55-60 hours in, first 3 lords and Dragonslayer armor down, fighting nameless.
This was fun to watch live and it's nice to have helpful commentary. Also nice PB Dankmod
Tipp for animation-cancel on the ashes at the end: 1) for lithric's throne, you wanna run behind it go up to its side, and than jut run straight forward and mash X. When you drop down, it should cancel the animation. It always worked for me when I tried it. 2) for the watcher' throne, I am nt sure but I think there is a little ledge before the prince's throne.

So basically there are 2 dropping points, and you have to mash X (or the button that would place it).
Thanks for the tips mate! I'll give a shot from on of my save states.
oh, I forgot to mention it was on ps4, but i hope it will work for you too :)
Erika Nakagawa Gaming Its the Ashes of Ariendal DLC (however you spell that) and i'm sure he has his reasons.
Talking about hitting the Nameless King:
Hit him with the one time!
*YA!*
Hit him with the 2 time!
*YA! YA!*
Hit him with the 3 time!
*YA! YA! YA!*
LET'S GO!
*YAYAYAYAYAYA!*
Thank you for taking the time to make this. I hope things get better in your personal life.
Just want to let you know that I realise how much effort it must have taken to narrate for an hour and a half, so I appreciate you, man. Thanks a lot
Dude you are skilled! It took me like 60 hours-ish to finish Dark Souls 1 and I love how you killed Pontiff 1st go while me and my cousin spent ages trying to kill him!
Woah! I didn't know you where that skilled at from soft games
you should definitly watch his streams on twitch. It's pretty fun.
you scrubs don't even know....
"You scrubs don't even know...."

Nice username my dude :)

This was very interesting to watch, thanks a lot for the commentary, made me watch it whole! Keep it up!
They should put giantdad fighting style for Souls of cinder so he can rekt casuls.
Holy sh*t! you can Parry the champion's f#$@ing charge attack?!
yeah... you can... I tried it but I suck at timing... I can easily parry his first phase but I died like 15 times before i successfully parried him for both phase 1 and phase 2
This is my exact problem, I wreck Champion Gundyr's first phase, then die instantly to his second. Some of his attacks seem to deadangle you too, so that may be one cause.
Decaf Diamond yeah that charge stun attack always get me. Can never get it right for some reason.... I always get it too early or too late lol..
Karl Schweinfurth you can party all of his attacks except his punch and kick, also the jump the attack
I wish more people did commentary speedruns. Thank you
Ahh Demod, I hope you feel better soon, bud. You sound a little sad and distracted in this video and you're so awesome, you deserve to be so happy
Possibly the greatest video Iver ever watched! I LOVED THE commentary!!
I'm so proud of you dmod lol. I've been watching those streams and it's amazing how much you've improved and now that you've master dark souls 3 (for the most part) are you gunna do a blodoborne speed run? Wether you do or not i still love ya. keep being amazing you beautiful beautiful man.
I've never watched a youtube video that's been this long, mostly due to the great commentary and interesting gameplay I guess.
Hope things improve for you. Great video, like always.
Amazing work man. With this help I might do a speed run
25:04 jesus - that dog literally teleported through the wall!

Yay, finally something to watch while studying! :D
I'd say you went at least half dist in this one. Great job dude, half dist is the dream for most. I'd personaly be happy with quarter dist.
Dude your explanation of everything is amazing. Thanks so much for this, fantastic job.
you are my new PvE senpai
Great video.
and what is srlobos then?
+Gabriel weiss ???
+Hawkeye-Aari a souls series god sir lobos
+Zack 54 never heard of them
+Hawkeye-Aari well look him up he managed to kill orphan of kos on ng+7 with bare fists only
Saving the kingdom in hour and a halve this man is a BEAST!
I can't watch much because i just play DS3 (last bosses i killed were Watchers and Deacons), but i thought i watch it up to where i am and then save the rest for later.
Cool run so far and the commentary is great, i can learn a lot 😁
You beat the entire game faster then I beat the tutorial. It took me an hour abd 30 minutes to beat Ludex with the Cleric class...
wow! cool run! :D FYI the Anri's straight sword gives you a small hp/sec regeneration, and when you equip it you get the first "tick" of the hp regen instantly. So when you unequip-equip it fast you're healed by frekvent first hp regen ticks.
Thanks for the very detailed video! Also love how humble you are :)
Always respect a speedrun, they definitely take dedication
Personally, I would love to see more of these kinds of videos.
I'll likely do the same thing for any game I speedrun on Twitch in the future. Bloodborne is next on the list! I'll be sure to do another once the DS3 DLC comes out too
Awesome video and great commentary. I always enjoy watching speed runs and hope to one day do one myself.
I know it's 2019 but I really didn't expect you to say exactly what is going on in my life right now at the beginning of the speedrun XD
YOU ACTUALLY DID IT. ALL OF THOSE HOURS IN STREAM. CONGRATS
this is cool! ive never played one of these games it was fun to watch you speedrun it haha. if i ever get a play station system definitely getting one of these games.
How do you not have like 1,000,000 subscribers???!!!!!
because he does mostly soulsborne content and his content will only really be watched by dark souls fans whereas other youtubers who play multiple games generally have a higher sub count.
+Liam Evans But still, Vaati has 800,000+ subs. I think DeMod deserves as many as him.
Austin Straza yeah I guess but I think more people would rather see lore videos than boss ranking. But dmod is stretching out a bit now
Austin Straza vaati is innovative in the world of lore. Lobos jr. Does challenge runs. This guy is doing something that's cool, but it's not like anything unseen.
dragon kid and this guy's voice isn't as sexy as vaati's :)

Love all the name u gave to the bosses :3
are you gonna do a speed run of 1 and 2?? I'd love to see em! I think it would be great! love the channel dude keep up the great work!

I'm probably going to be attempting to do this same run very soon. Hope to get it all recorded as well (:
It took me an hour to beat the tutorial...
Good run dude, welcome back :)
I beat this game a few days ago and can now look at speedruns without it being spoiled :)
RizenLink i look at speed runs cause they're usually boss tips, I'm not the greatest at dark souls
Nooice job, I always suck at soul of cinder and this really helped me, Thanks
First playthrough i didnt understand the ancient vywern fight so i just fought it like a normal boss. Almost threw my controller because "plunging attack" was written literally everywhere there could be something written.
You are the real MVP of Dark Souls! Amazing.
Hope you're doing good.
Great post commentary for having to do it for an hour and 40 minutes. Great quality video
I consider this to be god like skill if you can easily beat all bosses and expose their weaknesses that quickly. Something I'll never be able to do, this is truly impressive.
This amazes me, you're definitely skilled considering you've only been doing speed runs for ~1 1/2 weeks
This is so cool, loved the commentary on the speedrun. Would you consider doing one for Bloodborne too?
Theres a guy that does awesome speedruns for bloodborne with great commentary hes done 2 at agdq with excellent commentary throughout
Name is HeyZeusHeresToast
Huge beard you'll know its him lol
I am trying to solo every SoulsBorne game. I have already done dark souls 2 and am working on dark souls for PC and dark souls 3 for PS4. I have yet to do BB because of that dlc and I don't even own demons souls so i have to wait on that one but more of these videos would be awesome. I found this one to be really helpful. Thanks so much demod and keep up the good content
It's not a speed run but I always fight dancer before Vort to assert my dominance. It's always an epic fight.
Massive respect for you man, great knowledge!
This was super awesome to watch definitely gonna try to do this myself
on my first playthrough i died once to pontiff and that's because I panicked. I'm not a veteran to the series and even found skyrim to be difficult. I have definitely advanced as a gamer.
Altairdabest Sevenfold hey man congrats hope you started playing the others and maybe can find a way to play bloodbourne and demons souls if you can if you haven't already umbasa and praise the sun
you are my favorite dark souls youtuber
I wondered why you only have 92k subs, then I noticed that I'm not even a subscriber...:D So it's because of guys like me, who sees someone with a channel packed of great content, but still not click on that sub icon.
So I subbed...
The truly hardest boss in this game is quitting out
loved that stream man, looking forward to some bloodborne runs, all the best
Great video! Loved the commentary.
Just did my first speedrun-ish kind of run. DS3 NG+2 any % real time of 1:10:51, no quit outs. Was really doing just to rush through to NG+7 but thought it would be fun to time.

What happens if you get invaded by another player? Can it happen or do you play offline? Sorry if it happened somewhere in the playthrough, i didn't watch all of it.
Oi Gazza Gazza comeoverhereyeahyouthatsyournameyeahcomehereorelseyouyeahthat'srightgazza when you play offline an NPC invades you
I always thought I was just running for my life trying not to die until I got to the next boss. Who knew that I was just a really good speed runner.
You did in 25 minutes what took me 18 hours (first playthrough tho)
Beat my game in a short 50 hours hats off to you sir for this run
gr8 speedrun man, your pretty good :)
Awesome walkthrough. This commentary is going to be super helpful.
I don't have the game for PC-- do you know if it's possible to get similar times on a console? This'll be the first time I ever try to speedrun anything.
