  I had to edit out Gwyn&apos;s Theme due to a copyright claim, AND THAT&apos;S MY FAVORITE SONG IN THE GAME! I&apos;m very upset!<br><br>Things to correct:<br>1: I have no idea what T-minus means.<br>2: Apparently you only have to do the rafters to get back to Gwyndolin if you kill the Firekeeper as you leave, since it would auto spawn me at the entrance of Anor Londo no matter what bonfire I last rested at.<br>3: Please stop telling me New Londo is good if you use transient curse. It&apos;s literally enemies spam with wonky hitboxes who can travel through walls. I dislike New Londo with or without transient curse and I&apos;m not going to fight 100 enemy spam ghosts that hit me through walls at level 1 just to get a key.

  &quot;The point of a lvl 1 run is not to flex about how good you are at the game, it is to feel like you are bad at it again &quot; <br>Truer words were never spoken, my friend

  Feeling lost in Blight Town? Try going all the way down the Tomb of Giants before getting the Lord Vessel with no light because you missed the bridge in Anor Londo that connects to the room with the entry to the Painted World. Bonus points if you kill everything and get every item in the Tomb of Giants because you think you must have missed something and refuse to look into a guide.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xpGiTqpc-U&amp;t=1049">17:29</a> Dark Souls 1 absolutely was based around having some guidance, its part of the social aspect of the game, messages provide this but I honestly think DS1 was designed with talking to your friends about it in mind.

  I think after getting good at all the souls games, the one that made me learn new stuff and turn into a noob again was Sekiro. I look at that game in very high regard.

  There&apos;s actually an item in the dlc that deflects Manus&apos;s magic attacks. I think its called the Silver Pendant which i didnt know about until recently playing the game again after elden ring

  I&apos;m confused about your choice of boss run for the Four Kings, i always just take the first ladder shortcut and then jump off to the right and go through the room with the darkwraiths and the big slime monster. That way i dont have to fight any ghosts and I&apos;m at the boss door in about a minute, and the only time i fight any ghosts at all i use a transient curse to open the flood gates etc. Personally i prefer New Londo out of all of the late game areas

  Man, this video takes me back to when I did my first sl1 run a few years back. Normally I don&apos;t comment on videos but I just wanted to say that as a souls vet this video was a breath of fresh air and a really well put together peice of content. 11/10 stuff :)

  For New Londo, just draining the water is a <b>huge</b> check point. You can skip from the first area with ghosts down to like 2 rooms away from the boss, just go right instead of up the stairs

  I&apos;m on my first ever run of DS1, for my very first souls game. I just got out of the asylum for the first time last night lol, and I&apos;m already enjoying the game so much. I&apos;m a little scared of what&apos;s coming ahead of me, but also excited to jump into this franchise with an open mind.<br><br>I did not think this video came from such a small channel! I clicked it without thinking, and the storytelling drew me in. I loved your commentary, and the thoughts you have on every aspect of the game, and how indepth you go into all of it. This is extremely high quality, and you&apos;ll be a big channel in no time!

  Really bundles a video essay, challenge run and tier list into one video. What a legend
