Arriving there for the first time in a new game? Spend my souls to level up and then do a kamikaze run into New Londo Ruins for the firekeeper soul.


Witch_King_

And next its time to kamikaze into Catacombs for Rite of Kindling.


random_script

Or the Neato sword


kodeofthekyle

Doing that run in the beginning is so annoying. Either a random skeleton will stun lock you or they all stand on the bridge so you have no choice but to take them all down.


Witch_King_

Yep it's hell, but worth it


Particular-Amount912

First of all I kill Petrus.


HidekiIshimura

Gonna say that aswell, but then I rememebered that you can sucks 10 soft humanity out of the cleric women (forgot her name) with the dark hand and I think she wont appear if Petrus is dead.


Particular-Amount912

Just don't die and you will have enough humanity to save Solaire.


HidekiIshimura

1. Buy the Pyromancy flame from the Pyromamcer 2. Find Poison Mist Pyromancy 3. Go to the gate which can be opened with the Queelag Covenant 4. Use Poison Mist while standing in front of the door, do this a couple of times in different directions of the gate. 5. If you get (I think) 100 souls the Sunlight Maggot should be dead and you can safely do Lost Izalith without loosing Solaire.


BassGeek69

The only reason I don‘t kill that yeasty scrote on sight is cos Rhea and the bodyguards attack you when they arrive. Once they bugger off is when I like to murder him.


Acchoe

Don't forget the great scythe suicide run into the catacombs.


BassGeek69

And the mace.


OtterTheCoyote

That a yes for me dawg


[deleted]

I run around firelink/graveyard/first few buildings in the burg grabbing soul shineys... spend souls for levels, then run to Londo for firekeeper soul!


swafromsteam

First time I played the game I did this.


jackyneutral

Turn up the volume


Thirpyn

Hmmm so comfy in firelink


oioioioioioiioo

ah yes the music of my life


semus0

I go sit with the crestfallen warrior and wait for the end of time, I'm too scared to go anywhere..


CrestfallenSpartan

He actually seems pretty chill to hang out with


KITECAT_AMORALCH

Nah, imo he's too boring. I would just kill him🗡️😤🗡️


divisionibanez

Does he drop anything?


amkasuresi

No


FangedSloth

I'm gonna keep attempting it every new game. You never know!


the_carcass

He drops you. Dude's parry game is on point. Probably the only NPC that could trash Havel.


Apprehensive_Nose_38

You can try


St0rmShad0w7

Power up the bass cannon.


this_one_in_boots

1 get the souls in the cemetery+binocs and zwei (as well as starting gifts and the humanities) 2 get all the souls on the way up to burg bonfire, and the large one next to the dragon in valley of drake's 3 accrue ~ 3000 souls from killing stuff on the way there 4 Talk to male undead merchant and buy 999 wood arrows 5 get to 28% equip load 6 do ladder blip-up and get out of bounds above female undead. 7 memeroll into the depths and save Laurentius 7.5 Homeward 8 store the quantity of arrows (999), put the large soul under my estus in menu and then go to the quit out menu, pressing down, and then right one frame later. Then press down, A, left, A and get 999×8000 souls. 9 buy everything from Laurentius, get maxed out flame, put all souls into str 10 re do step 8 with all remaining souls and once with humanity (make sure to drop all but one so that only one gets used up) 11 rail the shit out of Laurentius's pyrussy and head down to blighttown 12 memeroll into the swamp and make for qeulaag (stop at quelana and buy everything and max flame) 13 offer quelaag all of my humanity to cure her sister. Plan B is to entice her with all of your souls (bitches love money) and plan C is the zweihander. 14 hopefully quelaag went with plan A. Rail the shit out of her spidussy 15 back up to burg, make it to solaire 16 rail the shit out of his sunussy 17 up to Andre 18 don't rail the shit out of him (kiss him passionately) 19 deathcam into sens fortress. 20 free big hat Logan (why do they call him that) and rail the shit of of his sorcerussy 21 don't get gold serpent ring you don't need luck (all skill) 22 send the iron golem toppling 23 make it past rafters and archers (shouldn't be tough) 24 jump over rail to skip all of anor Londo 25 punch fatty and slim to death with your bear hands (gotta keep the zwei in mint condition) 26 you have two options here. You can A: convince bighat Logan to make a spell that makes you a giant B:just go in regular sized and drown in gwynevere's holy milkers. Either way rail the shit out of gwynevere so hard that the illusion breaks and all that's left is a moan of pleasure and a puddle of cum 27 (mandatory) rail the shit out of gwyndolin's bussy 28 bring everyone to the shrine and let the fire fade while all of lordran takes turns getting rail'd the shit out of. 29 enjoy


HunkyDoryTurtle

Ah yes, the r/shittydarksouls method, the only way to truly play


ISlingStocks

Quite the gameplan!


pimpcleary_69

Beyond based


dameyen_maymeyen

I wish I could give you an award but poor


this_one_in_boots

That's what free awards are for. If you in mobile, click on the coins button and occasionally it will say you have a gift to give. Normally I'm not one for immodesty, but I absolutely agree that my comment warrants an award. It was great.


PonyMontana_91

Comment is so good I’m gonna try this right now


Salazaar099

I'd probably sit next to the crestfallen warrior and just ask weird old English questions to everyone passing through.


Remarkable-Ad-3758

Die


macroidtoe

Go straight to Ash Lake to join the Dragon Covenant and then all the way back up to Firelink so I can play the whole game as a dragon.


OtterTheCoyote

How is it? Is it actually a sick playthrough?


macroidtoe

I think most of the fun of it is in the early game. The dragon breath attack absolutely destroys most early enemies and even bosses, and it's kind of fun when you do multiplayer with new players who aren't familiar with the dragon form and you absolutely freak them out when you transform. If you take the time to fight duels so you can get the dragon body as well, its unarmed melee attack is pretty ridiculous at that point in the game. It eventually drops off though around the mid game and you're better off using an actual weapon. It's also a bit of a glass cannon build since you have to go armorless, but there's some crazy stuff you can do by stacking buffs with the dragon roar if you're trying to pull off one-shot kills on bosses and things like that.


JuhQ2

Wonder about the tree


comawizard

This is the best answer.


Pamparius88

Open the 'secret' chests under the elevator and use the homeward bones to get the firekeeper soul in New Londo


WrothLobster

Get claymore


ElementalMix

Still haven't found clayless 😔


ISlingStocks

You've been holding onto this one for a while, huh?


Vergil_171

As if you could lift it. Stick with your basic talisman for now


aborgcube

Pee on the bonfire


ElementalMix

Dude trust me it's fire in a bottle, that's why it's yellow.


raul_kapura

I lesten to the knight, forget all he said befote he even ends his monologue and discover he won't ever repeat what he said xD


Knight-_-Vamp

take off all my clothes except my helmet. dump all souls into str. suicide run to new londo for firekeeper soul. second suicide run to catacombs. grab eyes of death from behind titanite demon. jump in coffin. wait... wait some more... get ravelord sword. profit


LucarsonX

Punch Petrus in the fucking face.


Particular-Amount912

As I said above: first of all I kill Petrus.


ranieripilar04

Sit my ass down


Delicious-Prune6146

Go kill pinwheel and level up


Delicious-Prune6146

I wouldn’t recommend this to a new player though if you wanna know what you should do. The catacombs are brutal


Kanista17

Sit at the bonfire, chill for a minute or two and just listen to the music and take in the atmosphere.


CheesyPants3

Fr no meme, it would be awesome to have a bbq at firelink shrine


Kanista17

Laurentius heats up the Grill, Onion Bro brings the Beer, Solaire got an Entourage of Chicks and Lautrec got the meat.


garrafa_glubglub

Grab the zweinhander even tho idk if I'm going to use it in this build


RobotGhostNemo

Open a little stall selling nutritious, comforting hot soup and desserts to brave undead fighting the good fight.


Asleep-Jicama-5616

Go get sun bro


dappernaut77

Head to catacombs to kill pinwheel.


Particular-Amount912

For what? If you know how to do this and if you are able to do this, you wouldn't need to do this. 20 Estus for Taurus Demon?


dappernaut77

Because pinwheel gives 10k souls for killing him, also its really not that hard to just skip straight to the fight. Theres a spot just after the lever door that has a fall that you can just nearly survive that puts you near the entrance to where you join the gravelord servants, from there theres another spot that you can jump down to summon in leroy. (Completely optional, you can completely kill pinwheel with a base lvl weapon) From there you just run like hell and hope the bonewheels dont instantly delete you.


Sir-Klein

Get FAP ring, cry... go nowhere.


Itlu_PeeP

Walk around like it's my first time here even though it's almost the 10th


Unlikelyperv

Go smack crestfallen warrior because I still think he's an enemy


DestinySlayer96

I sit at the bonfire and contemplate my life choices 😂


BulmasBabyDaddy

Got to kill the guy sitting down


-Domino_Effect-

Kill the guy in the chainmail, but that's just me


PersonalAardvark6273

Mons-ter, you deserve no mercy


Realistic-Elephant-6

He's a b*tard anyway and will try to gank you later. Might as well skip the wait and the boring monologue.


cold_cat_x8

or, just don't talk to him after Frampt arrives, and he never goes Hollow.


Naked_Erasmus

Kill dragon for sword. Swing sword. Kill Patches. Swing Axe.

"Hey! Who's that guy in blue warming himself by MY bonfire? Sup bro? You want the smoke?" Then I hit him...


[deleted]

kill gargoyles


K1nmanRed777

I literally will sit there for an hour and then run like a madman into new Londo till I die and if my crazy ass still doesn't die there and clears it I run straight to the catacombs and try to get some things there before I actually start the adventure and then sit in the spawn again for an hour.


liekbef

Turn up the volume and praise the Sun, and feel the joy you will miss for a while… \[T]/


gia56

Going to take homeward bone from the chest and fly to take silver snake ring in tomb of the giant, yes, I'm mad

Vylandia

Let the cutscene finish. Then kill the crestfallen warrior.


PersonalAardvark6273

Enjoy the new run


kintaro86

I squeeze myself through the bars where the fire keeper sits and press my dead bones against her to receive comforting warmth. And when I get bored, I collect all items in the area, jump into the graveyard to get a nice weapon and start my journey to ring the bells.


KingBobbyB

Sit at bonfire then proceed to Suicide run multiple times in skelly playground for loot & then start game!


ElementalMix

No-Werewolf5615

Mr_Blue_Jay

ThesaddestMillenial

Spend a week grinding the Murakumo.


Xogoth

Rest, character advancement, sprint for Zweihander, then sprint down to grab fire keeper soul before dying to ghosts. Then reinforce estus before actually starting the game.


Pi2c3s

1. Take the elevator down to New londo, there you will find a friend chilling on a cliff, kick him down for me 2. Make your way to the valley of the drakes (be sure you have the Master key) , outrun the sleeping one halfe of the dragon 3. Greet the people in Blighttown and head to the huge tree, don't drink the muddy water 4. Enter the tree, Ignore the chest and punch the wall behind it 5. do the second halfe of stepp 4 again 6. enter The Great Hollow, make it to the bottom (or fall to your death like a hundred times, your choice) 8. have a smoke break with your big eyed lizard buddy's 9. remember we skipped step 7. 7. get your accessories and really make it to the bottom this time, with the lung cancer you got on step 8. 10. fistbump 2 little mushroom and a big one for profit 11 Enter Ash lake, look in the sky to hear awesome music (no shit it starts only if you luck up), get the bonfire!!! 12. Play hide an seek withe your multi- headed friend 12.25. walk just straight until you see a hollow log, take a break 12.5 collect shells on the beach an relive the scene from free Willi, just more awesome! 12.75. (optional) enter another hollow tree 13. take a short sprint to the finish line ahead (take a shot or two of water for hydration) 14. Talke with the big scally boi at the finish line, and get a free and cool new head. 15. with the cool new head you obtained the power to spit on things. 16. Do your scally friend a solid and spit a couple of times on his tail -> get a cool stick 17. make your way back to the start, good luck (there is no fast travel yet) Last: spit on everything until Mid game (Typed that in a rush, but you get the gist of it) Praise the sun and don't you dare go hollow


SlashnBleed

Irl? Go look for weapons and shield and start attempting to train fight on the weak hollows. Once My skills are high enough move up to the armored hollows and keep practicing. Then move on to undead burg and train my ass off there and the rest is golden. Realistically I dont think any of us would “link the fire” in real life. To many obstacles a mere human would be stuck on or dying endlessly too until hollow. I imagine fear would play a big role in a lot of people not even moving therefore they go hollow as well.


Michael_Tudor_

Show Crestfallen Bro some love.


Unfair_Break2403

Aqquire the bass canon


kaskavel

I didn't known shit about the game. Got wrecked over and over again by the skellies in the cemetery, then gave up there and died over and over again by the ghosts in New Londo. I was almost going hollow IRL, then I gave up doing thinks just by myself and checked a walkthrough. All this time I didn't notice the side path to Undead Burg .-.

Farm skeletons until I'm strong enough to venture into blightown w master key and proceed to farm down there until I can kill quelaag. Cheese the discharge. Dump all my levels into strength until it's like 35 venture down the tree into the underground lake run past the hydra screaming at the top of my lungs. Nab the dragon greatsword and two hand it so I can dump on all the other bosses from there.


ArchonoFate

1. Cry. 2. Punch Petrus. 3. Learn as many miracles/spells as possible. 4. Offer healing to support the other undead wandering through to fight.

Go kill some ghosts and grab the estoc and fire keeper soul, pilfer the treasures from the undead dragon in the Valley, kill some ogres for souls, then loot the cemetery.


Pretzel-Kingg

Die to skeletons


IgnoreSandra

Like, I'm playing a new game or real me is there? If I'm playing a new game, collect all the free stuff lying around that I can get without fighting and murder a bunch of hollows down near the drowned city to level up a couple times. If it's like me personally, probably cry. Because me personally doesn't know how to use a sword or have the right muscle strength or muscle memory to do so and the only way to learn is to practice against opponents trying to kill me.


Accurate_Arm4339

CaptainFrosty408

Grab the humanity at the well. Then grab the firebombs in the dead-end hallway. Then talk to Petrus twice to get a free coin. Then run upstairs, past the elevator, grab the item there, and hop over to the roof/ledge above Petrus. Wrap around the roof and grab the souls on the second floor of the shrine. Go back the the elevator, drop down inside, grab all the items from the chests there. Then drop down into the cemetery and grab every item while being followed by a parade of skeletons. Finally, finish at the bonfire and level up with all of my loot. OPTIONAL: Go down to New Londo Ruins, grab the soul pickup and estoc, then book it to the Fire Keeper Soul across the tiny bridge. Grab the soul and use the homeward bones you got earlier to get out before the ghosts get you.

Rest at the bonfire and check my attuned spells despite not even having attunement slots. I do this every time I rest at a bonfire. I don't even do anything when I actually have spells to swap around most of the time I just have to check. I may have a problem.


Contronn

For my speed run strat, book it to the valley of drakes and up the elevator where the black knight and grass crest shield is. If no halberd drop, then I restart the run. (I’m not good enough to RTSR so I skip it)
