Beating DARK SOULS 1 With Only Crystal Weapons - FINAL

- The final part of the crystal-only challenge run in Dark Souls Remastered!
At this point in the run our power level is quite high so it's more of a themed run than a challenge - interestingly the beginning of the run was much harder and more complex than the ending. I really enjoyed replaying dark souls remastered, it's been amazing to see everyone else enjoying it as well! - Hry
Vagrants are such an exciting moment when you find one
Wait they're uncommon? I've already found 2-3 and i'm on my first run. No evil ones though.
@olivewooled1297 that's crazy I've finished the game 6 times
But just now found out they existed😂
i found two on my first run leading up to gwyn, was so confused on why there was two evil crabs shooting me and then i found out they're super uncommon
I'm on the unremastered edition so I don't think I can find them :(
@@olivewooled1297its like the stars aligning because another playernin their world has to lose a lot of humanity or souls (i cant remember which) and that makes the vagrants spawn. (feel free to correct me if im wrong)
>Coolest armor set
>Cool weapon and aesthetic
>Cool moveset
>Amazing damage
>Easy to obtain
Wow, I love crystal weapo-
>Barely any durability and cannot be repaired
>Can buy some infinitely (I think?)
@@FloaydiYes, but it limited and it does not make up for the anonwance of farming
@@guilhermegaspar752 anonwance💀
@@themustardman219 forgot how to spell that
@@guilhermegaspar752 annoyance?
Fighting Gwyn legitimately instead of freehand parrying? Impressive.
have you tried doing it with a crossbow or just by poising through the attacks while 2 handing a long sword?
I thought the same when he didn't drop ceaseless discharge
@@k.m.m.a81 I've slain Gwyn with one weapon of each type. Sorcery was stupid easy, catalyst was not. That run is like using a slow, weak spear with only one attack.
Honestly I find that easier than parrying.
@@luna7157 I've killed Gwyn with a Black Knight Halberd in my left hand (shield hand)...was not fun :D
(I did an an entire run with left hand only)
The Age of Mythology music still slaps.
always 💯
I don’t think I've ever seen anybody genuinely kill Ceaseless!
I did, obviously the first time playing you shouldn’t (and I didn’t) know how to cheese him
I will always remember my first vagrant encounter. It was my first playthrough and my friend was telling me where to go. I climbed the tower in the taurus demon boss room and there it was, right behind one of the hollows. It killed me instantly with that ranged attack. I thought it was a normal enemy until my friend told me that he had never seen it before in his original playthrough.
I have a question! If I was to do the DLC with this character in NG+...
how would you like me to do it? Keep it as is with crystal-only? Lmk :]
I think it's definitely worth attempting
give it a try with crystal only for sure :D
Yes plz
yes absolutely! i was a little dissapointed you didnt mention the dlc in the video, but i did have a fun time watching your playthrough!
Yeah do the dlc with only crystal
6:55 not sure why, but the Titanite chunk drop celebration danse followed by the arrow to the back + the cut is peak comedy timing
😂
I agree 100%. It was so perfectly timed in a way that would be near impossible to set up on purpose.
Please do the DLC! I loved watching this playthrough and would love to see more!
This is the best dark souls challenge I have seen in a while
The Age of Mythology soundtrack in the background really takes me back. very good choice
Cant wait to see Sunlight beat Dark Souls with blindfold on
woah now, lets not get too ahead of ourselves... :P
@@SunlightBlade Broken Straight Sword run?
If for the crystal run he had to beat ds1 with the crystal set on, for the blidfold run he just has to beat ds3 with cornyx's headpiece... logic checks out
I had a Vagrant in my first playthrough as well which was an enormous surprise as I knew them to be extremely rare. There's been an effort by the community to help increase the spawn rates of these enemies by dropping items around the world as you play that eventually turn into Drift Bags. If you have a Drift Bag spawn in your game and leave it alone long enough it can pass on to another person's world where it might eventually turn into a Vagrant.
What a great way to start my Saturday 😊
Your run through Tomb of the Giants reminds me of my Sorcery-only playthrough. I made a point to clear out and explore as much of the area as possible (something I had never done up until that point) with the help of Homing Crystal Soulmass. Such an op spell lol
Still diligently waiting for The Geologist to take on the DLC.
the age of mythology music in the background
i actually love seeing the ceaseless discharge fight not being cheesed, usually people use the 1 hit method
the crystal set helm is my favorite looking armor so this is a gem of a vid
this is such a fun video, i really love when people do challenges around less used items, they can often be some of the best! or at the very least look really cool!!
Can we just appreciate the age of mythology music in the background? Love it.
imagining manus vs this build is already entertaining to me lol
please do the dlc too
\[T]/
It was fun to see a more casual video of a challenge run.
I so wanted to make a similiar run and seeing you do one made me want to go back to that idea. Also both the videos are great, congratulations!
I love the vagrants, I was in Dukes Archives the other day helping randoms with Seath and when I came back to my world a evil vagrant spawned on the left bookshelf and shot me in the back with all the spikes. Gave me a good scare and laugh after it killed me.
Love the "mythic" music in the background ;D Took me back to a good nostalgia trip (lovely vid as always ofc
Well done on completing the challenge dude! Must've been so hard mainly cuz of the various restrictions and the fact that you can't repair the actual Crystal Weapons (not the infused weapons). Very well done.
This video gave me flashbacks to farming titanite chunks, hours of my life I had happily forgotten
Really enjoyed this, I loved how well thought out it was and just plain fun.
I rate this video mid rolling for life out of 10
So glad to see the finale!! Let's goooo
A painful request but... any chance for a similar gimmick/themed run for souls 2?
This series was so much fun to watch.
Aw sweet i watched part 1 yesterday and now i get to see part 2!
Through out all my years playing souls games, I've never one seen a Vagrants. So this is definitely an eye opener for me. Thanks for showing that.
Heck yes I have been waiting for this!!! The second I saw it I clicked it!
Excellent video, thank you for finishing this! ❤❤❤
okay, really wouldnt mind seeing the dlc beaten with this challange. really great video. :)
I’m glad you chose the link the flame ending, because now you’re cooking crystal.
You beat seaseless discharge LEGIT!?! Mad respect
On my first playthrough I encountered many vagrants on my journey and never knew they are pretty rare to find
I love the age of mythology background music
DUUD FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Ahhhh the Super Mega ULTRA RARE enemies of Dark Souls 1 haven't seen those in quite a while congrats on beating the main game with Crystal Only gear
Super nice Video keep going with themed challanges like that
You earned a subscription for the Age of mythology on the background!! 😁
awesome I have been waiting for this one 💪🏻
I just wanna say...I love you, SunlightBlade. I watched you since 2015, when I sit in the blackout and watched your top 10 videos at night because electricity has been turned on at nights. Thank you for your content even 8 years after.
with AOM music in the back ground, its just perfect!!
A shorter runback for four kingsis from the darkroot bonfire. After the second elevator, jump the gap (skipping the stairs), and then roll 2-3 times (once to dodge thes ghost, and the rest to drop off the ledge). And then you're there!
Illusory wall actually did a video on the rarest enemy types! Vagrants are number two, with the gravelorded chaos eater taking number one.
"Journey of the geologist" is such a great series title
Ayyyyy. Loved the first vidand was waiting for this
That sif fight hits the feels more when you do the dlc before the fight.... Good doggo remembers you
AGE OF MYTHOLOGY MUSIC!! YESSSSSSSSS
Definitely should do more runs like this 👍🏻
Nice video as always, cheers from Germany
8:00 if you go on the right, jump over the lava, there is a small area which is more open for the player to confront the Sentipede Demon. You will take enough damage but if you manage to jump at the right time (it´s not that difficult) you will survive. Just don´t forget to drink an Estus afterwards.
Thanks for another great video!
A vagrant! My first ever playthrough I ran into an evil vagrant under the red drake without knowing what it was. Only months later did I figure out how rare they are.
Damn absolutely loved these videos!! GG on the challenge 🫡
Literally just learned about vagrants I have never seen one in my life and knowing there's still stuff i don't know about dark souls is pretty cool
Vagrants are like shiny Pokémon in old games, Amazing Discovery
Gwyn is a really hard, fun and cool boss... unless you parry, then he's just some old guy
The Age of Mythology music is a wonderful touch sir :)
1:44 The first time I got to ToTG I had no idea sunlight maggot or skull lantern existed, so I did the whole thing in pitch darkness. I fell to my death dozens of times and got jumpscared by every giant, crawling skeleton along the way. Good times.
Huh. It's been a long time since I saw someone fight the Ceaseless Discharge straight up.
Respect.
I am really enjoying this challenge run. I hope we see the Crystal Knight in the DLCs as well
Love the Age of Mythology music, I've never heard anyone else use it in videos
I know that you already finished this run, but:
slumbering dragoncrest ring is your friend, if you wear that Seath can't hear you since he's blind, so you can attack him from anywhere and he'll just blindly attack trying to hit you.
It also works for avoiding Nito's giant buddies they don't aggro when you wear the ring. You can go further into the boss arena than just the front door.
I know its gonna be a good day when sunlight blade uploads
“Out of the darkness into the light”
Homeboy be rocking some mad Pantera.
Cool challenge, nice two-parter.
These games age so well. I still rock a playthrough roughly every 18 months.
The sheer variety of weapons/armor makes them so much fun to replay. And they're short enough that it doesn't feel like a slog to get through.
I've played through DS2 almost a dozen times myself.
@@Hiushisan Nice!
@Hiushisan I just got the ds2 platinum and started getting burned out towards the end not my favorite but overall enjoyed the journey. Going for ds1 now && I've never actually played ds1 so I'm excited.!
I found my first and only Vagrant back when I was going for the platinum earlier this year. Found it in the Crystal Cave, too!
Age of Mythology music is always pleasing to hear.
I was not expecting to hear the Age Of Mythology music here, quite the pleaseny surprise
Yessss, join the ranks of Lemon as a patience elemental!
I can hear that age of mythology music in the background lol
That background music brings back memories
Can’t wait to see more!
Amazing music choice. And well played. Now celebrate with some crystal head vodka!
Pog was waiting for this one
I don't know why my body said mask of the mother but I definitely pogged out when you got it.
Pretty sure the darkwraiths drop titanite chunks quite commonly, and so are the best place to farm, rather than the sentinels in Anor Londo.
Hey Sunlight, have you checked out InfernoPlus's Dark Souls Remastest mod? Crystal weapons are now catalyst hybrids!
Oh yeah, I saw his recent update video on it looks amazing!
My man did a skip to get into the depths but didn't do the ceaseless discharge trick and fought him straight up. That's crazy.
Waiting for this!
Do it... if for no other reason then being able to fight Artorias. A boss that always has a soft spot for me because that was the fight that things went from "Yeah, I understand these games now." to "OMG, I love these games."
I just found my first Vagrant a week or so ago in Undead Asylum. I had no idea what it was lol.
Great run, would have been nice to see the Crystal Ember used, but great regardless.
My GOAT has uploaded 🐐🐐
Thanks for another one 😄👌🏽
Niceee we need more challenge runs
Yes please, dlc!. Greetind from México.
SunlightBlade: "It's been years since I completed a playthrough of Dark Souls 1."
Me: It's been years since you finished a video series. (Still waiting on Episode 2 of Spooky Bone Wheel Build you made in DS3.)
Never seen a vagrant until the two I saw this week. Never seen them on any of my play throughs but I’ve seen the one on this video and the one on the most recent oneyplays dark souls 1 episode this week.
I sure a jumping bean vagrant once it was pure red and I couldn't kill it in time lol😂
Jumping bean 😆
@@SunlightBlade yes it's jumps like a jumping bean and it's the most rarest vagrant in the game
Ooo sunlight! You planning on doing a unique challenge like this for the other dark souls titles?
Would be a fun trilogy
Age of Mythology music spotted! Sunlight u are a man of culture
Eidas has defeated Gwyn, We could have never guessed he could have broke Seaths mind control and went a conquered everything without his Avelynn
Let the fun begin
I waited for the second episode
I later walked blindly through the tomb because I knew the route. that was funny with the skeletonjumpscares xD
Can't believe you used a song from the Age of Mythology soundtrack! Fkn legend!!
