  • What class are you

  • Flying Dragon sword.... Drake swords easier to say....

  • 16 hollows didnt like this video men!!!

  • does this still work?

  • I got past the dark knight by luring him out, then bum rushing the ring.

    I ended up accidentally rolling off the edge to get away from him, and I think he followed.

    Anyway, long story short, I have the dark knight sword.

  • Dude i got a sword stronger well higher stat power than the drake sword and i barely started and its the black knights sword and its from the one protecting the blue tearstone ring

  • Getting the drake sword is like running away at the start of the game. I've literally only used it once, and that was to try to kill the bell gargoyles, but I failed. After getting all the good items from the first shopkeeper, I just killed him to get the uchigata. It has served me well in my endeavors so far, but I might just use the iaito as its faster, but the bad thing is that my uchi is already +6

  • Gues you already know this by now, but you can kills the black knight by backstabbing it very easy. Even as a mage :)

  • Hey thanks for the heads up on the sword

  • love ur vids just wanna say i killed black knight first try using the reinforced club the trick is not to go that way but go the bak way and get him in the backstab and then just keep blocking his attacks (or parry if ur pro like me) then go around and get backstab the rinse and repeat hope this help laaaaawwwllllll

  • @codpwningmachine i killed the one in undead burg when i was lvl 1....... just use pyro..... its makes shit a whole lot easier.

    Don't know why people keep making strategies to kill it with mellee, just use pyro or sorcery spells. Not like it matter though since by the end of the game, you'd feel like a god.

  • COOL TIPS, BRO! :D

  • the buff while using drake sword is a souls buff. i think its 20%

  • just lure'm down using a bow and 2-hand your weapon and swing at his head at the ash mark where he lands

  • actually its pretty funny, when i was trying to get the fds i ended up getting it with my last arrow :D

  • lol @ the end you jumped to the ring item. I just ran and confronted the creature and ran away again. I didn't care if I died since once I have the item I will be able to keep it. Voila

  • But...but.... i killed the black knight instead of taking the treasure that way.

    lol if i new, i didnt need to do 5 mins of Blocking and backstabing him xD

  • Watch his arrows at 4:35

  • Did you ever do a video of how to kill it well? >.> trying the method I used in normal gameplay in NG+ and it's dominating me lol.

  • stupid dragon

  • I've just faced the gargoyles without the flying dragon sword armed with my weedy sword of astora. The difference is amazing! The difficulty early game just flew out of the window without the drake sword lol. If you want a challenge. completely avoid this.

  • you can kill the knight at level 15. just go to a high place and shoot arrows. good video

  • @528kvios If you're going to correct a video from four+ months ago without reading the annotations, the description, or the comments, you should at least know what you are talking about it.

  • Thanks, it helped alot!

  • I got the ring by luring the knight out then double backing for it by going through the building and dropping down where there is a chest, if you are fast enough he can't catch you. I can't explain it very clearly, I know.

  • From the tower where the black knight is 9near the dragon) I shot it with one arrow in the back of the head, then it flew off and committed suicide somewhere.

  • I got invaded like 14 times trying to get this sword back when I was a noobie...then when I finally disconnected from the internet and tried my PS3 froze as soon as I killed it...

    I still got that god damn sword though...

  • @guitarman2134568

    If being invaded is bugging you out stay hollow or join the Way of the White.

    Being hollow means you'll never get invaded but you'll also not be able to summon help.The Way of the White covenant has a perk that prevents you from getting invaded as often.

  • that was a very epic jump for the ring. The things we do for items. . . Thanks for including the stats for that b-e-a-utiful sword, I'll make sure to stock up on arrows (maybe bolts?)

  • Question:

    Xbox 360 version player here, by the way...Is there any way to actually KILL this dragon? And if so, does he drop anything aside from the whole sniping the befuddlement out of its tail ordeal for that blade?

  • @naudae You can melee him down near the stairs. There's not really any good reason to, though. You get some souls, and that's it. Well, he won't breath fire at you anymore, too.

  • @EpicNameBro I think the Warrior of Sunlight covenant is a pretty good reason to.

  • @DoctorUmehara You don't need to kill him. You can just run by. After you've done it once, you can teleport there with the Lord Vessel.

  • @naudae

    My buddy took him on by running from one end of the bridge to the other sniping him with the huge greatbow.

    Easiest way is a bit cheap but you come up the steps,hit him with a bow and when he comes down the the bridge hit him and run back down the steps.He eventually returns to his perch and you rinse and repeat.

    Be quick cause he heals while on his perch.

  • @naudae Yeah you hide behind that ledge on and bridge intill he comes down, then you hit him a few times and run behind him, rinse and repeat.

  • @naudae yea but i believe that you either need a very good shield for fire defence... or very good armor agenst fire.

  • hey man, i love your guides :D

    i've been making some guides too but mine barely get views lol.

    do you have any advice for making guides? (maybe you could review one of mine?)

  • what type of arrow did you used?

  • @rhettzzxxx wood arrows

  • I have shot over 1000 arrows and still have not gotten the sword :/ (ps3)

  • @Jacobmedina711 If you shoot the tail more than 75 times and don't get the tail to break off, you don't have the required stats for your bow. Check to make sure you have enough Dex to use it properly. If there is an "X" over the weapon icon when you equip it, you can't use it. You'll have to raise your stats.

  • @EpicNameBro ohhh ok i just fired 80 arrows and didnt understand why it didnt work. i have the x over my bow, understand now. cheers

  • Does this still work? (xbox360)

  • @steelslither Yes

  • actually the black knight was actually kind of easy, all you got to do is bring him up to the roof and throw lots of firebombs.

  • @epicnamebro how long is this game? how many hours of gameplay did it take you?

  • I've kill Undead Merchant in Undead Burg! Where I can buy arrows?

  • @misha2702 nowhere..your fucked dude. start over.

  • has anyone ever killed this dragon? I think it's impossible.

  • how do you zoom in with the bow?

  • @thom9434 Hold the bow with two hands, and then hit L1.

  • @EpicNameBro

    Cheers brah. I got the sword!

  • @thom9434 Nice! It'll help you a lot for the next 2-3 bosses.

  • This video brought me back... first time fighting that Dark Knight took me forever ['cause i didnt know how to parry and backstab, back then] ! but then i got his Shield... ^^

  • how many shots did that take?

  • @12345ffvii depends on the distance and arrows... its takes about 15 - 40 with the arrows from undead vendor.

  • Dont know if its a glitch but i saw a message on the far left of the bridge (sniper spot) just before the undead rats, look up and you can quite clearly see the dragon's head. Take out the sewer rats first. Shoot the dragon, preferably with a bow plus 5, he will fly onto the bridge, keep shooting repeatedly with arrows, I received the drake's sword just before he died. He will fly to and from the bridge.

  • damn, this one looks pretty awesome, but in my case the dragon just flew away when i ran through his legs to reach the fireplace: is it still able to get this sword or did i just screw it?

  • @JonnieCore42 go spend some time on top of the bridge for awhile... he'll be back. Make sure to spend your souls first, just in case :3

  • @EpicNameBro just did it some time after i asked the question, but thank you though :)

  • I used to shoot arrows at dragon tails...Then I took a arrow to the knee....

  • Sorry if this seems a tad off topic, but I just got this game for Christmas. I made a knight and that wen bad, so I made a warrior which went pretty good untill the second main boss you fight. I think it might just be the way i'm spending my skill points. Anyone have any good suggestions on another good class, and what to put your skill points into?

  • @Chillin846 for beginners, a very good choice is the Pyromancer. He may be a little weaker than a warrior or a knight, but his damage output really pays off.

    PROTIP: Pyromancy spells DO NOT scale with int, so DON'T spend points in it, unless you want some normal magics as well. Just get 16 str and 10 dex for the Drake's Sword ( Flying Dragon Sword ) and spend some in vit ( about 20 early game will be nice ), some in endurance, and 19 attunement only if you plan on using pyromancy.

  • wohop thnx but do u know the strength requirment for 1 handed use i csn with 2 but mot one

  • probably a stupid queston but where can i find a bow cause the big blacksmith guy doesnt sell them

  • @eagerbeaver53 Undead Merchant in the Undead Burg sells it for 1000 souls

  • My trick to kill the Dragon fast and easy (thanks to the sword he gives you):

    Go up the steps, snipe him.

    QUICKLY pull out your Drake Sword, 2hand it and go dead center of that middle square area next to the steps.

    Prepare an R1 attack for it to land on his face bone right as he lands.

    Rush back down the steps.

    Wait for him to perch again.

    Repeat.

    Done.

    175 Damage every hit. He also doesn't seen to trigger his anti-snipe regen if you melee him.

    Good hunting.

  • would you recommend this game as a christmas gift?

  • @MultiGuitar12345 Yup, if the person getting it likes action-rpgs and doesn't mind a good challenge.

    For young kids or people with low-skill / patience, it's not a good idea.

  • @EpicNameBro ah yeah i was thinking about asking my parents for this game for christmas or renting it first. Ive played and loved skyrim and oblivion and have played other rpg games. Idk if ive played a game that looks as difficult as this though haha.

  • @MultiGuitar12345 You'll be ok as long as you keep your cool. There's tons of OP tricks you can use to make the game really easy. (Get a great shield, and use magic / lightning spear combo and you can just sit back and kill things as they come)

  • @MultiGuitar12345 Dark Souls isn't a difficult game. People confuse the concept of difficulty with a different game design. It's designed so you will die. And you will, many times, especially if you're playing blind. After a bit of trial and error, you'll be *looking* for ways to make it more challenging. Like Epic did. I don't think he even realized exactly how much he had to TRY to make this game difficult.

    But if you like RPG's, get it. Game of the year, imo.

  • @ElitistSponge I rented this game today and I was not prepared haha.The Undead burg area is what got me. I found that the game was difficult not only that you die a ridiculous amount of times but their is no real tutorial and your thrown into a world where every monster can take down half your health with one strong hit. I would do well and progress far only to be mobbed by 3 skeletons around a corner while simultaneously getting shot by random a crossbow in the distance.

  • @MultiGuitar12345 That great thing is that you now know to take out the crossbow guy first and then pull the undead one by one with a bow! (you can take them all on at once, too... once you've learned how combat works through experience).

    This game requires trial and error for most players, and it does take patience for sure. For now, go to the first merchant and get a bow and a spear. My fiance managed to clear the Undead Burg using that combo... I'm sure you can!

  • @MultiGuitar12345 Well, yeah. That's the trial and error part of it... You'll find where mobs are, what each one does, how you feel comfortable dealing with them, and then you'll be a bad ass in hours. Until you move onto the next area, of course. Ha. 

  • @EpicNameBro Agreed.. great game but not for impatient people.. This game will tempt you to throw the controller through the TV.. I like games that are challenging so I thoroughly enjoyed it.

  • @EpicNameBro Well no... (Sorry being so late) Theres always room for practice.

  • That giant knight can be defeated with pivot backstab. Block his thrust and pivot around to his back while he recovers. Rinse and repeat. =D

  • This doesn't seem to work for me :(. I used the crossbow, and got the drake down to about 1/3 hp with roughly 100 bolts, but from there on he never seemed to lose any health at all. In total I shot about 400 bolts in him, doing about 12-13 damage on each hit. Sucks :(

  • @jonalethirenicus Are you hitting the tail? It's really better to just use a bow if you are having trouble getting it.

  • @jonalethirenicus get higher dexterity.

  • Is that the character for 'ken' ie 'sword'?

  • @Moremooremore Yup. I made a mistake in the commentary. It's ken.

  • @EpicNameBro Great to see my Japanese classes weren't a waste of money! Have you tried the game with a Faith build?

  • can i enchant the sword with an element and what do i need to do that?

  • @alaadarkness you mean like a Fire or Lightning Drake Sword? It isn't possible. Dragon Weapons only have one upgrade path.

  • Outa all honesty, do you do pvp at all? Not like you get invaded randomly and you fight him off. But do you actually go out and try to pvp for a day or so? If you do, you should do some videos like that, i'd find that VERY entertaining. If you need any suggestions for builds/wep combos, message me, im ranked 14th in the xbox guilty book ^_^. Working on my pvper for ps3 now too.

  • @jakeboston1 Gonna do a ton at SL 120. Expect kills when I land parries, and deaths when I don't (just like Demon Souls for me) hahaha

    I'm a pretty average PvPer because I always try to do flashy stuff... not the most reliable way to win, but damn I look cool when I do!

  • @EpicNameBro Awh hells yah man. Not many parry pvpers. You see alot of Shielding fags that just back peddle, or the guys with moonlight with Wrath of God that they just spam, or even the Tranquil Walk of Peace ( TWoP) and they just use that to backstab you. Real lame. If you were to make a dex build to use rapiers and maybe the parrying blade, I would SO respect you.

  • Jw why did you buy the japanese copy of the game?

  • @xboxlegitimate because I live in Japan

    Check the date on this video, and the release date for DkS.

  • @xboxlegitimate He lives in Japan and bought it before the US release

  • Not gonna lie, your videos are the reason im gonna buy this game now. Looks pretty badass! I'll make sure to subscribe and get your walkthrough!

  • @MrCoconutism Awesome. I hope you enjoy the game. It's fun as hell!

  • are you black...no racist man..love your vid..

  • Hey Epic, were you aware that this video was featured on the Dark Souls Wiki?

  • @KDZen18 Yup, they asked me, and I was honored to put it up there!

  • @EpicNameBro Well congratulations!

  • how do you use the bow in this game? I could never figure it out for some reason, but the controls for it are definitely different than Demon's Souls because my guy doesnt pull an arrow back or anything

  • I killed the dragon with i assume was a glitch today. First I cut off the tail with arrows while under the bridge, went back to the top and shot in the head with another arrow, and when it landed on the bridge, I ran behind it into the area under where it perches. After lighting and sitting at the bonfire it was gone. I attained no souls, but the drake sword kicks ass.

  • i got the sword and then i killed the dragon.

    you get 10000 souls but then he/s gone.

  • Ok so theres a way better snipe spot than this one AND you dont have to shoot the tail you can just shoot him anywhere and after some damage its tail will just ''fall off'' and youll get the sword , you can also kill the dragon for like 10 000 souls pretty easily

  • @ImNiightmare you didn't tell us where D:

  • @DanteDMCry at 0:52 , he is standing right at the spot. its basically right on top of the stairs . What you do for max damage is just stand on top of stares ,from there you can shoot its body. Once u shot it on the body ,the dragon wont spit out fire ,it will fly and land on the bridge , you can get a clear shot on its head for good damage, then you have just enough time to roll down the stairs and evade the fire. Soetimes , the dragon will walk forward after the headshot and u get an extra shot

  • do you have to kill the red dragon plz respond :c

  • @123tehboss no, you don't have to! ...but you can :3

  • @EpicNameBro does the tail's hp reset when u leave the zone/rest at bonefire? Because i used more than 100 big arrows and i get nothing please help me

  • @darkn941 if you used more than 100 arrows, then you must not have the stats required for your bow.  Are you using the short bow? Make sure you have the 12 dex that you need to use it, or it will take forever.

  • @EpicNameBro Hey thnx, i got the drake sword :)

  • So ... How many 3 soul arrows does this take?

  • Is it common in Japanese phrases and wording to use English words? Is it because there is no literal translation? I.E. regained souls, OK, Cancel etc.

    Thanks!

  • @Willownsyou89 It's common in games. There is a translation, but I guess English looks cool.

  • LOL i had 1 arrow left and shot it and it died!!

  • it does 10 damage with every bow, how much arrow should i shoot to kill it? Or is it still possible or patched?

  • @mtnsaray its not a glitch, its a secret, so it won't get patched

  • I did it first attempt.

  • About the big guy if you have decent health you can just run past him pick upp the item run the fuck back to campfire easy.

  • THIS SHIT DONT WORK I FUCKING GO ON THE SIDE HE SHOOTS IS FIRE SO EARLYER I FALL AND HE DOES IT AGAIN BEFOR I CAN GET TO THE STAIRS FUCKKKKKKK!!!

  • @l3LiiZZARD THIS SHIT HAS WORKED FOR THOUSANDS OF PLAYERS YOU'RE A DUMBASS

    Oh, I'm sorry, it seems my caps key was stuck.

  • @EpicNameBro He is right tho it sometimes doesn't work but he was a jackass about it.

  • @EpicNameBro xD owned, thanks for the tutorial im at this point now, ill try it out :) btw do you know how many arrows you need, also is that your class' default armour cause i can't find and good armour, im a wanderer

  • @l3LiiZZARD if this is pissing you off so much, I suggest you sell the game now and save yourself all this trouble.

    Cause by the 1st bell tower you'll be breaking your controllers

    by the Capra demon you'll be pulling out your hair and smashing your head against the wall

    by the Sewers you'll break your system and shave your head

    & Blightown will make you set your house on fire and eat your kitten

    And thats not even half the game!!

  • So much cryptic shit in this game.

  • Oi nvm. Guess I just needed 14 dex to use bow properly -feels like an idiot- Playing as a knight

  • Can anyone tell me if this is still able to be done? I tried yesterday with a normal longbow and regular arrows, shot 150 arrows into it and got nothing. I'd like to know asap in case i'm wasting my time :/

  • @TheChronicReaper yes you can still get the Drake sword by shooting at the dragons tail

  • If you hold it in two hands...you can perform a 斬月

    Getsugaaa....Tenshou!!!

    When i first saw ist...i lol´d

  • you dont need to translate the name yourself!!! just use google translation XD

  • The drake sword makes the bell gargoyle boss a piece of cake.

  • Does the game have a good storyline? I don't want to just play a repetetive hack n slash game, but from what I've seen the game is pretty decent.

  • @CommanderGene if you buy it be prepared to rage so fuckin much XD game is pretty fun nonetheless

  • i have shot his tail dead on over three hundred times including fire/poisin arrows and normal arrows still i dont get the drake sword is it patched please can some1 tell me ??

  • you are so great 

  • For the ring at the end, u can and pull him and run al the way back to the bonfire area, and rush back and pick up the ring without dieing

  • I think Demons souls is harder. It's less forgiving.

  • @dsweeney2144 yet your using the internet to check up on dark souls weapons... =/

  • I plan on purchasing this title. Is it recommended to play its prequel before jumping into Demon Souls?

  • @Okami33 The story isn't related at all. You won't miss anything (except another badass game!)

  • how do i get an bow and arrow that early in the game if im not a Hunter?

  • @hypotnuse You have to go to the shopkeeper in that level. Right by the bonfire in the undead burg you will see 2 enemies with shields standing diagonal from the archer that tries to shoot you when you walk out of the room where the fire is. Go to the guys with shields and roll in the group of boxes right beside them. There is a staircase there. Go down the stairs and out to the balcony thing at the bottom and the shopkeeper is right there.

  • hey i started a sorcerer what should i level up with my sorcerer

  • @DemonSoulBlade As far as i know inteligence mostly, then strenght to 24 and dexterity to 20

  • @dsweeney2144 and yet u still watched this video

  • PLEASE HELP ME! i can't understand why i can not upgrade any weapon +5 to +6. i tried 4 blacksmiths including the one in catacombs and no one offered me to do it.

    What did i miss?

  • @lugorifm You need to modify your weapon. It's the top option at the smith. Each smith can only do certain types, and you need to bring them a special ember in order for them to be able to do it

  • i thought that ken meant first/punch ?

  • @toonamifan123 I'll compare it to "right" in English... some words have the same sound, but mean different things.

  • @EpicNameBro oh

  • well i got the ring without dieing

  • I got it with 14 dexterity and 20–30 large arrows

  • If you position yourself just right you can shoot the tail multiple times without moving your aim at all. just make sure you time your shots right.

  • I used 147 arrows nothing and 125 bolts WTF

  • OMG! just spent 85 arrows on this tail and nothing, he just keeps coming and going and dont die, i do not now what im doing wrong, im the same place same bow same arrows, plss help mee T.T

  • Hey peoples try and use the gold pine resin on your sword and keep circeling the black knight backstabbing him to death THIS IS NOT A FLAWLESS PLAN you may die roll, roll, roll, barrel roll if you must just get out of his way and heal as soon as you get hit or else well Prepare to Die

  • yeah me too i killed the blacksmith and i don't know how to bring him back :( shlt!! i really want to kill the dragon drake but no arrows :(

  • I killed the first merchant so i cant buy arrows is there anywere else i can get some from???? plz reply :)

  • there is a way to get the drake sword without arrows u have to after the dragon breathes fire wait a little on one side of the bridge as close as u can get to him on the sides then u want to go out and he may jump off the ledge onto the bridge when hes there attack his taiil

  • Does anyone in here play it for PS3? I am looking for someone to play coop with I'm stuck

  • This is so OP, I killed the giant Black Knight with the hammer in 4 hits, the GArgoyles in like 6, using one potion and beating them in like less than one minute. I would never be able to get anywhere without this.

  • I have the following Problem, I got all, Taurus Demon and the Stone of the guy down there but in my case, dragons sitting on the end of the bridge just like at you, but he starts flying and setting the bridge under fire MUCH earlier so i have no chance to run to the save point! Pls help me!

  • @mobomb92 are you running up the left side of the bridge? he doesnt seem to do anything unless i run down the center.

  • @warryen what system do you have it on?

  • @Jeremy201081 oh shit yeah, im on xbox 360. forgot its on both.

  • needed about 50 or so arrows, dex 12, after enough careful shots, got sword, rocking and rolling hard XD. but to kill the dragon, would likely need like 350 - 400 as i read somewhere, so, good luck :3

  • Okay so my Dex is 14, but I burned through over 50 regular arrows and about a dozen large arrows, and it still wouldn't give me the sword. what the heck is going on?

  • I killed the dragon =] I shot its head.

  • am doing it right now, alrdy shot 60 arrows but not happening alot, got 12 dextirity, hopefully i will get it soon

  • I got the ring thanks to you. But whats even better is that I was able to get away from him back to the bonfire where I KILLED HIS ASS WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

  • @anglej Oh and I also got his sword as well :)
