[May] Week 3 : I have no legs, but I must run

Yeah so reaching character creation took a few hours.

[How to beat Dark Souls 2 without Walking - continued]

All the footage has been recorded and being edited. It is projected to be my longest video yet. I've already reached the 30 min mark on my editing and have done 2 paths out of 4 before Drangleic.

You can watch a preview of the intro segment above to see what kind of difference having no quickstep or character creation from the get go does. Spoilers. 2024-05-25 04:04:17 +0000 UTC View Post

[May] Week 1 : I am losing my mind

Oh my god.

[How to beat Dark Souls 2 without Walking]

I've "finished" all 4 paths and currently stuck in Shrine of Amana of all places. It has taken a huge amount of time to reach this point as quickstep does not exist in this game and I'm forced to explore the wonders of Dark Souls 2 game design (a.k.a. spam).

Recording will continue throughout the week and I suspect the editing will begin sometime next week.

[April] Week 3 : An even worse idea

This can't end well.

[How to beat Dark Souls 2 without Walking]

Turns out doing a bow only run in Dark Souls 3 requires a bit more than just skipping Gundyr. So in the meantime I had an even worse idea. Why not do a no walk run on a game that DOESN'T have quickstep and the character DOESN'T start with a bow?

So yeah I've currently made all the plans and while it is TECHNICALLY possible, I am struggling with the most basic enemies. Wish me luck, and thank you for all your sup...

[April] Week 1 : The Holy Grail

The new video "How to Beat Dark Souls 2 in 0 Boss" is now live!

[The holy grail of DS3]

There has been extensive research being done with Dark Souls 3, especially Gundyr skip. A working version of the glitch has been found and alternatives are being researched as well. This will allow me to create previously impossible videos like miracle only, bow only (no arrows) and such.

I'll do some more research and decide on the video.

Thank you for your support...

[March] Week 2 : You're not Stanley, are you?

[Dark Souls 2 in 0 boss]

The entire video has been made and currently in early access. The video is planned to be uploaded in April 1st so in the meantime I'll do some final touches and start research on the next video.

[March] Week 1 : Stanley started typing.

[Dark Souls 2 in 0 boss]

All the footage has been recorded and the editing has now begun. 0 bosses killed and ending cutscene seen.

The theme of the video is going to be based on "The Stanley Parable". I have listened to 4+ hours of the narrator's dialogue and I am going insane.

Thank you for your support!

[February] Week 4 : If you are nothing without the skirt than you shouldn't have it.

[Dark Souls 2 in 0 boss]

After some trial and error a consistent setup for a 60fps skirless parrywalk has been found. This will be one of the few glitches required to perform a Dark Souls 2 in 0 bosses run.

Thank you for you support!

[Febuary] Week 1 : Best Souls 2 keeps on giving

I've been dedicating these past few weeks on research. Got a lot of new ideas and potentially more if the bounties pay off. Here are a few examples for DS2 SotFS.

[Buffer Overflow]

By abusing the steam overlay, players can input a longer name during character creation. This much has already been known. But did you know that it can actually overwrite game-critical information like NG+ cycles?

There are currently safety checks for BoF so currently trying to ov...

[Year 2024] Here's to another amazing year!

Happy new year everyone!

[Bloodborne in 1 Boss]

In the process of recording more footage because I didn't enable online player names. All the footage has been cut and the music is being placed. 

The video will feature 2 simultaneous playthroughs, converging into online segments. The theme was inspired from a video game called "The Coffin of Andy and Leyley" where a sister gaslights the brother to commit atrocities. Quite fitting for this video.

[December] Week 4 : A matter of time

I am 3 parallel seconds ahead of you.

[Bloodborne in 1 Boss]

All the footage has been recorded and the editing has now begun! 

The lagswitch was a fun experience. The addition of a second player meant that the top down navigation, which is usually very frustrating, was much easier to play and showcase as the second character can just watch from the side. I was holding two controllers at the time so all I had to do was mimic the movement while watching t...

It's all coming together

[Next Video]

The next video will be "How to beat Bloodborne in 1 boss". I had been laying off this topic because of a specific condition I needed to make.

The run requires 2 PS4s. Easy enough! Already had that since Bloodborne 2 boss. Problem is, this one requires a certain amount of lag. My home internet setup was too good for this purpose. I looked everywhere for a solution. VPN didn't work as Bloodborne works on P2P and not dedica...

[November] Week 1 : True ending

Let's just say that things... got out of hand.

[Beginner's Guide to Dark Souls 3]

When you beat Dark Souls 3, there is new game+. After that there's ng+2, +3, and so on.

No matter how long you play, or what ending you choose, the cycle will repeat.

Or is there another way?

In that note I've done some extra recording.

Thank you for your support!

[October] Week 3 : Armored Souls 3

Just a regular early game boss cutscene.

[Beginner's Guide to Dark Souls 3]

There seems to be a few more bosses to Gundyr than I remember. I'm sure new players would find it helpful for a beginners guide to be as thorough as possible.

Thank you for your support!

All the planning has been completed. Recording has now just begun.

The video will be a totally normal, step-by-step guide on beating Gundyr plus some tips and tricks. You'll be able to see some of these on the sample video above.

Thank you for your support!

[September] Week 3 : Replacing myself using AI

I've been playing Armored Core, Baldur's Gate, and Starfield for the last few weeks. While studying these game extensively, I had an ingenious idea.

[Beginner's Guide to Dark Souls 3]

The beginner's guide series has had an unfortunate reputation of being a tutorial made to troll people with ridiculous glitches.

To remedy this unfounded notion, the next beginner's guide to Dark Souls 3 will use highly advanced AI technology which will both free up time to s...

[September] Week 1 : Get in the damn robot 621!

The only spoiler free screenshot I took.

[Armored Core 6]

Finished the game 3 times. If you were looking into the game I highly recommend it.

First playthrough was quite hard. I was constantly having camera issues and had to crank the camera speed to 10 just to keep up with the enemies.

Turns out there is a lock on.

So basically after learning(or remembering) about that the game became very enjoyable and I beat NG+ and NG++ in a single day.

[August] Week 4 : AC

The video "Top Gear - Dark Souls 2 Special" is out!

[Armored Core]

Got the key for AC. Been playing ever since the upload. Any video ideas about AC or otherwise will have to wait until I beat it a few times. Fun game but hurts my hands a lot.

Thank you for your support!

[August] Week 2 : Hi.

Never thought I'd buy another copy of Dark Souls 2. Again.

[Top Gear : Dark Souls 2]

I've dusted off the good ol' laptop that I bought for the Dark Souls 2 no walk video to shoot some actual character interactions. I was tempted to buy a third laptop to include all 3 in the same picture but didn't want to buy ANOTHER copy of Dark Souls 2.

You can see an example inte...

Terribly sorry for the lack of update these past few weeks. Lots have happened since then. Big trouble my gf. Something about not answering fast enough and that freelancers are supposed to be available 24/7. Back to the studio.
