Dark Souls 2 "Olympic" Torch Guide

- Dark Souls 2, but it's pretty lit this time my dudes.
All footage was captured on the most recent DS2:SotFS Patch (PC)
This was a pretty standard run that really picked up in the end. Was a blast doing the Olympic torch run with a 'normal' broken playthrough for the return.

Thanks to Distortion2 for dropping a grand on the main skip. _Pretty Lit._
As a discoverer of that version of Aldia skip, im glad someone actually found a use for it apart from just casually doing it :P
@@draekyor1404 The homies in the Glitchcord always bless me. Mad respect to all the hunters still out and about.
YOOO you actually did one of my ideas for the ds2 runs. Congratz man.
:DISTING:
I was wondering how you were gonna deal with shrine of armana and undead crypt but I guess skipping them completely is a viable option
In case the parry walk eventually gets patched out, there's a pyromancy in Belfry Sol called Immolation, which lights your entire body on fire. Not rain, nor snow, now gloom of night can put it out. Now riddle me this: if the torch is in your pocket and you're on fire, doesn't that technically mean the torch is lit too?
_Schrödinger's Torch 💀_
@@Be_And HELL NAH THE CURSIVE SKULL EMOJI 💀
i dont think they patch ds2 anymore?
@@gremlinman9724 you can never know. they may go back to touch something for the connection probels
@@gremlinman9724 I mean there's like a 0.01% chance when/if they bring the pc servers back. But even if they do it would prob just be actually annoying bugfixes/netcode improvement
"Life is meaningless and painful"
"omg new Be And video"
this describes me so much wtf

Reject true Nihilism, become an optimistic Nihilist.
@@aldiascholarofthefirstsin1051 I like you. You're based
LIFE IS PAIN, I HATE
I love how many minor touches ds2 has that seem to exist exclusively to kneecap super specific runs. This is the first time I ever even thought about the rain in the looking glass knights arena
I think the real reason the rain is there, aside from the aesthetic, is because Looking Glass Knight does Lightning damage and rain lowers your lightning res by 15%
Torches really show off the impressive lighting this game hides.
If you watch some of the early footage of the game showing things like the bonfire in the forest of the giants lighting up, the lighting was gonna be a big part of the game that got cut. Things like the invisible hollows that leave shadows and the billions of sconces littered around are leftovers from it
@@heybro4000 I think the invisible hollows were added in SOTFS ? Anyway, the darker areas look pretty great when lit up imo like the Gutter and NMW, but some areas just look really flat in both lighting and colouring
It's also got impressive performance, runs flawless 60 fps on my potato laptop (although at 720p) but dark souls 1/remastered struggles to keep 30
Looking Glass Knight single-handedly saved us from having to go through enraged Undead Crypt and Shrine of Amana without rolling, respect
And London weather too
Y'know, between the clothes and the ability to keep a torch lit indefinitely, you make for a pretty convincing desert sorceress
This has to be one of the more creative runs i have seen
I did see Backlogs doing it too but more people trying it out is really cool
During editing I saw backlogs testing the waters, hopefully he finishes the run.
Would love to see other runners give this a try with their take!
@@Be_And i have a run in which i try to beat the with only the torch as my weapon and got past lost giant after like 8 minutes i dont know if im going to do
I especially like the part where you killed the boss
2:17 Pursuer, dying of a heart attack moments later from the ledge skip
I was beyond confused, Pursuer was not feeling it for this one.
I really love DS2's torch mechanic. So beautiful and the lightning is gorgeous in darker areas.
Damn I wanted to see Amana so bad
Same actually. There were some Mirror Knight skips that were promising. After testing it was a bummer dying falling down the elevator, or just hitting the rain.
And Agadyne actually.
Everyone's out here playing Elden Ring, and meanwhile, we're over here perfecting Best Souls. :D :D
very unique and fun idea, havent seen anyone with this kind of run idea ever
It was actually a silly idea that turned out to be a lot of fun. Made the play a bit different than usual!
@@Be_And I can imagine, as youre always on a timer, so a bit speedrun-ish
Honestly, backlogs channel did it few weeks ago, same title even
@@zarakikenpachi7359 wait did he, dont watch him too much, bur didnt think this was done before
@@henrikbgh7221 it was a cheat engine testing stream, Lobos pinoneered the idea looks like this guy finished it
12:05 Did I hear a Rock and Stone?
_TO THE BONE_
_OR YOU AIN'T COMIN HOME_
FOR KARLLLLL
If I wasn't already subscribed for how good these runs always are, the use of Dark Cloud 2 music would make me do so in a heartbeat
Glad dark souls 2 is still getting love
very glad to be watching a challenge run in ds2. elden ring is cool and all, but it's refreshing to watch something creative in the other games
This is definitely one of the videos of all time, guaranteed
So cool to see WilPie101 inspiring a defining gen video format until these days
well done!
You madman! Thank you for the amazing video!
I'm glad to see some DS2 love for a change 💚
Very cool run! I like the music choices for this one. Keep it up man
The routing for this seems like a nightmare...I'm here for it, happy to have you back
Gotta give respect to this mans grind, always going through torture to give us enjoyment. You the 🐐
Your videos make my day bro , never stop uploading
The day I beat DS2 for the first time this is uploaded thank you be and you beautiful beautiful man
While having the editing style inspired by ymfah, I think you and him both have their own kind of way to make a video: Ymfah was more about "telling a story through music and visual that also mixed with comedy in it", while you went for the "comforting and relaxing guide that doesn't get repetitive paired with usual funny jokes co-operated into the journey".
The thing that makes me want to watch your videos so much is the voicelessness and the music selection. The music selection is so good, I'll occasionally put on a video just to listen in the background. Fantastic work, every time.
always a joy to watch these videos
its actually amazing how much better the game looks with a small real time light source, the normal maps and shaders actually seem to do something on the models.
had me dying at 5:30 🤣
That was a very interesting challenge, really enjoyable video
Id nobody going to acknowledge that at the end of the playthrough he sculped Trish una
I was confused when you got to the throne room doors at the end like “Where is the ring?” Then i realizing you appeared on the other side lmao. Good video
nice to see ds2 content in 2022, great video. sfx were on point shit had me rolling
Gutter Skip Jutsu
gutter skip slick kinda nasty, ngl
I love all your videos keep it up you do a wonderful job
Now that's a cool, unique challenge. Great execution, great memes. Good content overall.
Also, babe wake up, new Be And video just dropped.
Hey Be, Robot chicken Batman again. Awesome vid as always and perfect timing as well. had gastro for the last 4 days and i'm finally recovering today. This vid made my day a bit more pleasant. Thanks a lot man. I've been a fan of your channel since your first dark souls vid. love your work
I love how there's always one gachi sound clip per video.
Today I finished dark souls 2 and you upload this, nice
That quiet "Za Wurldo!" when you did the Warcry emote was just perfect.
This is a really fun idea for a run! Super painful in execution, I'm sure, but the video will be a blast to watch!
Commenting for algorithm reasons :) loved the vid, very creative challenge run as always
Man the torch mechanic in dark souls 2 was so bizarre. I never really did understand what they were going for with it
Such a strange game, a lot of ideas good/half-baked, or both.
It's like a melting pot of test kits; Volumetric Lighting, Power Stance, Soul Memory, NG+ Differences, Weapon Infusions and so much more.
From the pre-release videos, it was clear they wanted many areas to be darker than they were so that you would require a torch to see. that's also why there are so many torch stands for you to permanently light up. Wouldn't even have been that far fetched since DS1 had the Tomb of Giants, but nevertheless it was abandoned.
@@Be_And I forgot all about soul memory. Shit. So glad that shits gone lol. Also I still think DS2 did powerstancing better than Elden ring. And NG+. Of all the games, dark souls 2 had the best NG+. I haven’t noticed a single difference in Elden rings.
@@mirko241 yea but it’s still kinda bizarre how it behaves like a draining battery in a horror game. I’ll hand it to them, it’s at least… creative.
i made a very excited "eeeeee" noise when i saw this.
love the yakuza soundtrack usage, incredibly good video once again!
Yes back at it again with my favourite dark souls game
At this rate I feel like ymfah/ be and uploading is a damn miracle, every single video is a masterpiece
Great vid!
This guide was hot as fire 🔥
I didn't even know abou the parry walk, that shit is awesome. Great vid!
You know, I've played a lot of ds2, and I've never once seen that plunge animation on the salamanders. That's super cool that they have a unique animation for it.
honestly quite incredible
been wondering about this run for years ever since a supremely awesome streamer named McDrunkard brought it up. so cool to see that it’s doable!
I thought this was ymfah, watched it whole.
I would've watched it too had I known it's Be And, but that explains why he seemed mechanically better at this game than I remembered.
I got the BIG feels when I heard Dragon's Dogma music in this, I figured out it's the OST when I heard the unmistakeable riff at 21:50 and the ending with Sinh was just epic.
The ymfah is strong with this one
Very cool, well done
new be and upload omg best time of the day
The King is back YESSIR
Amon's theme mixed with the parry skip was just beautiful
great vid. reminds me of ymfah vids which are classic.
Just wanna let everyone know that the baacklogs did a very similar run to this previously on a stream. It's a good watch.
This channel slaps
OH MY GOD! That pandaria music at the end...
God damn the intro music, right in my childhood
Another Bright idea for a video, this vid is total Fire…. Well I mean it’s Pretty Lit, as expected from Ymfah child
20:06 I HAD NO IDEA THAT WORKED THERE! Holy shit this game is great.
Pretty cool idea
hell yeah more best souls 2 content let's go.
G I V E S M E C O N N I P T I O N S
Oh yes the rapier! a gods weapon on ds2
NEW VID LET'S GO
ROCK. AND. STOOOOONE
You are awesome!
great video my friending
Amazing
I'm glad there is CZcamsrs that go through torture like this for our entertainment because I'm not skilled enough for this crazy shit.
15:37 There's an undead man in huntsman's copse who's running in the background. Probably he's preparing for the marathon! I hope he'll join us soon...
How dare you hit me with the terrible day for rain.
Great video tho
A+ on fashion for this one.
I did not expect to hear pigstep in one of your videos. Nor did I expect it for the gutter and black gulch. It fits, somehow. Also, when no death no bonfire for the illusory rings? (Please don’t, for your own sake) I also didn’t expect a rock and stone, but we got one! ROCK AND STONE BROTHER!
this might be a dumb question but i want tips in subtitling.........
do you render the video then subtitle or do you subtitle before rendering which is easier???
No dumb questions lad,
Subtitle before, easier to export for translation OR choose to 'Burn' into the video on export.
No dumb questions, only dumb people who don't ask them
Never clicked on a notif so hard in my life
Why did you never get Weaponsmith Ornifex? She sells infinite flame butterflys and you were close to her near the start of your run when you killed Nashandra.
This is a great tip, she was in the planning but revoked as smelter solved that quickly.
Also had the idea of the Hollow thieves at Huntsman's, they drop them often.
@@Be_And Cool. I can understand omitting her for the sake of the narrative. Great video man, keep em coming!
I don't often check my subs tab, so it's rather fortuitous is came across this.
I always forget that the Desert Sorceress set shows so much leg.
the disrespectful dragonrider parry was 😘👌
12:05 "Rock and Stone, brother
Me: YOOOOOOO HE SAID THE THING
"We have Ymfah at home."
*but this was almost better*
Okay but that ruin sentinels cut? Clean
Me: Oh damn, it's 5:30 PM and I still haven't done anything productive.
*sees new Be And video*
Me: well, there goes another half hour.
I used to think of you as a discount ymfah but now I realize you're not a discount you're an alternative, quality is basically the same and it's just slight differences but the vibe is so similar it makes the long time between uploads lovely
12:21 that was clean cut
14:55 - WOWZA, that is the first time I've ever seen the Pursuer taken out with JUST the ballista! GG EZ!
Apart from the torch hollows at Huntsmans Copse, and bonfire-ascetic-ing Forest of Giants, one could also run thru the Gutter beating every Hollow and spamming the "pick up" button right as they die, since items can fall thru the floor and all. I cleared out all of the Gutter in my first DS2 run-thru, and I legit had like 50 hours of Torch Time by the end. But, I didn't have it lit 24/7 like you did here, so maybe it would even out??
19:35 wow music from death's gambit
Thats right there is why you the best boss
Damn you're good
