The Oldest Dark Souls Record Was Finally Broken
Some speedrun world records are so optimized that they seem destined to last forever. Yet, through an ingenious routing strategy, hiding in plain sight, one such invincible speedrun was recently shattered by a stroke of brilliance from an unlikely source. This is a story of how the oldest Dark Souls record was finally broken and how the limit is never where we think it is.

    Ive always loved elden ring speedruns, but something about nowadays with wrongwarps, pegasus glitch, and chainsaw glitch its just so boring to me (slightly less boring than zips, but still boring). I love the progression of the game, and glitchless is a good way to show that off while still using cool skips and gameplay

    Asylum Demon → Sif → Bell Gargoyles → Quelaag → Bed of Chaos → Four Kings → Iron Golem → Ornstein and Smough →Seath → Pinwheel → Nito → Gwyn is only 12 bosses. You can get through the lava in Demon Ruins without killing Ceaseless if you really want to, it's just incredibly frustrating to do.

    Ok, I don't to brag about it, but I have the Platinum for all three of them (DeS, DS1 and DS2). Demon Souls and DS2 were god awful. I made a few mistakes in demon souls thanks to world tendencies and had to play up until NG+3, I grinded those skeletons for days and had to kill flamelurker in NG+3 to upgrade one f*cking weapon! Boy, is he hard in NG+3. I mean, I will never forget how hard it was. DS2 was a little easier, but I had to fight Smelter demon in NG+2, and that fact alone made me procrastinate on DS2 for almost a year. DS1 is just a joy, even the grinding was fun.

    on dark soul remastered (pc), go on the ledge just like in 00:27 in the video, climb the ledge with schimitar via spamming basic attack (lmb) while pressing w (constantly move forward looking left or right side of the ledge so you squeeze into the ledge). I tried velka rapier/shotel but shimitar is the easiest for me. sometimes you can dodge roll onto the ledge but mostly falling down Standing on the ledge of this 00:27, equip demon greataxe and just hit 1 basic attack while facing the hole. position is just a tiny bit in front of hole. you know you land this trick when you manage to bump just like 00:36 of this video. i started to lightly spam the dodge+w towards the landing. additional useless note: equipment on right hand - beatrice catalyst, demon greataxe. left hand - grass crest shield. estus flask, homeward bone. dragon slayer arrow. cloranthy ring, rusted iron ring. It took me more than two hours

    I suppose this would be "easier" to figure out @ 30 fps going for 151 frames would buy you an additional tenth of a second ...you have just over the 5 second mark to swap while at 60 fps you would have exactly 5 . Still, managing to chain animation's frames together from load to pin pointing the glitch point is mind blowing 😮

    The better question is why was someone running around with an east-west shield in their right hand punching rock worms ? That couldn't have been an accident and at the same time hard to see it as just the normal thought process of a person who isn't known for wasting time .
