  • Holy shit...yes man, Vagrant Story would be fantastic with graphics like these! So glad I'm not the only one that remembers that game! I think it still is a masterpiece.

  • What I've noticed in this game is that your level doesn't matter much..it's more focused on the gear and correct usage of that gear. I like that.

  • Sucks here online, so many griefers using bottomless box glitch.

  • another good tip, the fds works really well in this area

  • dude just get the drake sword and wear no clothes so u can dodge fast, it took me 4 hits and the dude was dead

  • are you japanese? why is your hus in japanese

  • @TheEngraver100 He's an american who lives in Japan. If you look at Ask Epic VI, He'll say that he's from Mississipi that was interested in Japanese language so he moved there.

  • Another great video, informative AND entertaining. It's also possible to get that knight's Tower Shield. Not sure on the specifics on how, but you need 30 strength (sigh) and it has 80 defense.

  • wow epic this videos are so helpful! Thank you very much! =)

  • how do you jump and do the jump attacks?

  • @moterbikecrash you must push the left stick forward and the strong attack button at the same time..

  • Wish i woulden't have crushed the fire keepers soul.. And then later went back and found the girl that would use it to reinforce my Ectus flask.. :(

  • tower knight is easy, pwned him with spear

  • I didn't have to open the gate, strange...

  • @MrJokerQ49 There's an enemy that runs quickly to close it. If you kill him first... :)

  • @EpicNameBro Wow that means that I was fast and quick, agile, strong, big, brave and thick and... wait what???...

  • I tried to kill the dude at the bonfire near Firelink Shrine at the beginning of the game. He chased me, so I ran away and continued with the game. Hours later, I've reached the point at the end of this video. And that dude still wants me dead. GUY NEEDS TO CHILL.

  • @fpsanth me too! lol

  • Tip...9 times out of 10 you cannot get a backstab while an enemy is in an attacking animation

  • @mattthebeatle You can still backstab them normally, but their "back" position changes during the attack. It's more difficult, but if you can find the sweet spot, you can stab them right out of their moves.

  • kick the shield guys first and attack them with a 2handed wapon like the Zweihandler (big 2handed sword) and thats how you can get them in one go

  • Those undead with capes are tricky, the ones with large shields and swords are just tough and damaging but the ones with bucklers and rapiers will sometimes raise their swords and point at you. If you attack while they're doing that they'll counter you, and that hurts.

  • can anyone help. i played this part but there was no mini tower knight guy... i wanna try kill him but he aint there. is it possible that someone invaded me and kill him or is it just a bug???

  • @DeadCaseyJones did u summon another player to help you, because that player possibly killed him. I summoned two phantoms to help me in the Undead burg and they killed the black knight there

  • @playstationextremist no at that time i just started and dont even know that people can be summoned. i was exploring, got to the church and only saw the normal knights, no tower guy. i just remembered that some time after that(not even sure it was the same day), i wanted to kill the gargoyles but before i transverse the light, some guy came outta nowhere and killed me, its a player if im not wrong. just dont know if an invader can disrupt my gameplay...

  • You can backstab that miniboss lol most humanoid type dudes you can not sure about the actually boss's i havnt tried you should also try to parry more often :o not sure if u do it in your later vid's

  • @ltb08uk wooooo dude whats a lightening spear....a weapon or a spell!!?

  • it was so funny, i had the blacknight sword at this point and i killed the mage in 1 hit while using to hands on my sword.

  • Damn a fucking guy tricked me. He posted that there was an illusionary wall near the entrance to the church and you can image how surprised I was when that big ass knight came out to kill me when i hit the wall.

  • @PainfulOrpheus That is a REALLY smart trick.  I mean... it sucks and all, but that IS pretty damn funny!

  • Do you recommend i should finish Demon souls before trying Dark souls?

  • To beat the black knight I just stuck to him and moved around his left, since when he swings the mace he starts from the right so if you circle him with your shield up you can defeat him safely.

    Thanks for the videos!

  • where did u get the axe??? plz answerr!!

  • @MizticZz It was a drop off of one of the first hollows you fight before the undead burg... he uses the axe, and can drop it. I can't remember for sure, but I believe you can buy it from Andrei too... maybe. Can't remember right now.

  • @EpicNameBro Thankyou very much Bro! Keep up the good shit motherfucker!!

  • dude if you had the drake sword you would kill these hollow's with 2-3 hits

  • i got his steel armor from the tower knight

  • I died in the elevator............... and then died before getting there lost 8k souls :(

  • the easiest way to grind in the beginning is to run from the shortcut ladder up to the dragon and make it breathe fire on the undead dudes standing there

  • can you get the heal miracle from any other merchant in the game apart from the fat dude at the fire link shrine? i might have killed him lol

  • u can backstab the clocked knight at the beginning if u creep towards it! like for everyone to see!

  • Pikemen are easy. Go 2hand-Style and run towards then, quick attack until you got a minimum of endurance left, then go back to avoid their counterattacks(S). Regenerate green bar, and repeat. They will block your attacks, but they will fall and it's not risky.

  • hey man just thought id tell you but umm yeah this game is alot more easier when you are a pyromancer or any magic user just like the royalty class in demon souls i owned the game at least 5 or 6 times i cant remember but yeah that is a really good class for begginners as it is level 1 so you can pretty much mould it into any character you want

  • how do u do jump attck

  • I agree with you ENB.

    The first game that came to my mind when i first watched Dark Souls was Vagrant Story as the visual vibe is very similar.

    It's on my top 50 of all time favorite games.

    To have Vagrant Story remade to this level would have been amazing.

  • if you have Zweihander and the power to use it you can kill smaller knigts with one blow.

  • Your videos have made this game a hell of lot more bearable! Thanks for the help!

  • the frist time i saw him i was like oh shit where he come from. then those guy jumped me i was fuck i back away.

  • can you get a cape like that?

  • Was anyone able to get the heal miracle from the guy featured at the end if the video without joining his goofy covenant? I have the talisman and the the requires souls ans stats, yet he just keep repeating himsekf asking me to join, which I really don't wanna. What's a guy to do?

  • There is no such thing as underleveled. Ya know in demon souls u could grin your way to win or go stright OR be like a boss and beat the game at lvl 1 i bet u can do dat on dark souls

  • i killed the tower knight and the bulltaurus dude whit no health loss :) i used the golden raisin killed tower knight whit 4 hits whit halberd

  • has anybody mentioned how to get the tower shield from that knight?

  • what level are you at the beginning of the video?

  • Comment removed

  • hey epicnamebro idk if youve done this or know yet but if you kill the merchant in undead city (Burg) he drops a decent starting katana that bonuses from DEX 

  • @TehJedicake Any attack you like.

  • @PsychoticHamstr Don't have your shield up i did that mistake lol til i ask my friend and he told me.

  • What are the stat requirements for the halberd and swords/great swords? Im a SL15 pyro, and i doubt i can use the drake sword if i get it

  • Why can't i roll properly?

  • how do you get that heal miracle, cant seem to find it ;:s

  • @MikkiZHskDK fat knight at fire link shrine... check the new player info guide... it's in the checklist section

  • @EpicNameBro cant find a fat knight dude in the firelink shrine :/

  • @MikkiZHskDK He mean the fat dude in robes the guy he show at the end of the video the guy from the start of the game.

  • @EpicNameBro WTF! I KILLED THAT GUY!

  • @Lionpaw93 so did i lol!

  • Your one of the best commentators for this game, some are really boring and scared to initiate.

  • we can use the heal miracle forever??

  • Does that giant black shield guy respawn?

  • @Renneskid no. mini-bosses and bosses stay dead.

  • @Renneskid Nope he a mini boss and mini boss or main boss don't respawn.

  • thanks this shit right here tells me to go crazy on these  bitchass cpu without hesitation now i cant wait to do my secret combos

  • bitch made me pay 2400 souls >.>

  • You're commentary and guides are perfect

  • Those Elite Undead Knights (ones w/ red capes) are actually just like what's his face in 4-1, that Last Samurai Tom Cruise wannabe douchebag w/ the Uchigatana, in that they seem ultra intimidating, but their weakness is actually your aggressiveness. Look at this vid, you're using a fking handaxe in a tight corridor and still managed to own them. I used a Bandit's Knife and just trashed those guys; 2 BS's and a hit at 15 Dex and they're down. Never got a chance to counter me.

  • damn dude its amazing that you can take out an undead knight so easily been having major problems with these guys

  • What character are you playing in these videos?

  • @zedac0sta i think hes a knight

  • @subnoob18 "cough" Warrior "cough"

  • Comment removed

  • A small note about the beginning priest dude which asked Epic for 1500 for a *almost useless* tip.

    The price asked is actually related to the level of the player. For exemple, a Character level 1 (pyromancer) will have this tip for 200 souls at the beginning.

  • I have trouble using the kick and jump attack reliably, also you want to watch for those knights cause pone grappled me turned me around and backstabbed me...it was not cool.

  • @WoWRools8D Yeah it is til you die and lose your hummanity which is not cool!

  • how did you learn japanese? internet or actual classes?

  • Could there be anything in vases and crates? is it needed to bash them all?

  • id have to say for those knight guys with the cape, once you learn their movements, just two hand er weapon and wait for them to finish off an attack sequence and then attack them.

  • so basically if i interrupt during his Estus drinking animation, he wont heal??? oh wow,that's good if its true.

  • i love how they made those critical backstabs more visceral than Demons Souls. it makes me really feel my attacks more:)

  • Not sound like an idiot but how do you jump attack ??? ( xbox360 )

  • 10:22 magic user?where?

    ooh thats not a statue...

    that was my reaction

  • i thought i was good at dark souls since i easily raped mobs in demons.

    i picked a thief and after about 5 hours in i'm restarting as a pyromancer,this shits too hard,gotta run through the equivalent of 3 demons souls stages just to get to a bonfire with only 5 flasks,going to FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU mode

  • i was level 21 when i fought thwe knight, it was easy..

  • Whoop Vagrant Story shoutout!

  • @StevenTLS2007 it was ahead of its time... FF7, FFT, XG, VS... those were the days.

  • @EpicNameBro Man i just recently started playing Vagrant Story again...

    Those games are still better then most new RPG's

    The RPG genre got worse with the days...

  • @EpicNameBro How the hell can u make it without saving?... i'm always dieying after the boar part... i killed him, i go ahead a while, than at your 6/7 minutes i die... is there any save i miss?

  • @StevenTLS2007 whoop whoop!!!

  • can you get his shield? the soldier cape dude?

  • @Klonoa20 It's just a buckler. I got it as a drop after killing the soldier cape dude, not that exciting.

  • @strider975 seriously? cuz I was able to get his armor and sword but no luck for his shield... well I got the buckler from those who uses a rapier...hmmm maybe if I keep trying.... well at least im getting more souls..hehehe

  • no humanity necessary if you pork her in the butt just need faitH!

  • bleh...found a bunch of thos bk knights in my early game... sheesh.. not good

  • that dark knight sounded like he took one giant undead crap when he dies saying muahoooooooooOOO

  • The cloak nights for any new players.. pikes and spears work very well on them if you block it will give them the stun affect and you can put about 4 attacks on him before he can recover

  • Just a note to add, If you do try to rush the magic user in the church, he can buff all the slaves with a spell which puts you up against a soul arrow caster with a big spear and at least 10 super slaves... bad match up.

  • Nice shout out to the Vagrant Story. Awesome RPG, strange to grasp the mechanics of at first but once you did it was a lot of fun and very immersive, Much like this game :)

  • not very common to hear a reference to Vagrant Story. totally aggree

  • i used spear

  • How do you use the heal miracle? I have the talisman

  • @pook110 you have to equip the miracle at a bonfire.... if you have 10 attunement, you should have the option to do so. Then, equip the talisman in your hand and use it!

  • That bitch at 46 seconds, I got his health all the way down to only one attack left to kill him, motherfucker ripostes me and kills me in one hit.

  • I accidentally killed the fat cleric LOL. Any hope for me finding heal again?

  • drakes sword kicks tower knights ass

  • arent those the knights from the king in the Intro?

  • @Klonoa20 Nope, the knights from the king in the intro are the Black knights that hang around and wreck shit with big ass swords.

  • Very informative videos you got here. Thanks for taking the time to upload and share your findings and commentary. Im new to the soul games and just picked this up yesterday and having a blast with it. I'll be subscribing to your channel.

  • Vagrant Story was an epic game that hardly anybody picked up... except me still waiting for something like it on current gen systems.

  • You can just use the Drake Sword to kill him with like 4 hits.

  • FYI, the spear/shield guys are easy to parry and it's a one shot kill.

  • at 6:21 i made a dash for the bonfire lol.im only level 9.

  • to take care of the shield spear knights, use a kick attack followed up by regular attacks. it works for almost ever weapon.

  • You know, when you said "cloaked knights" I thought you meant they were invisible at first...that would have been horrifying.

  • Bro im feeling your vids, how do youi do that jump attack?

  • @JFrankeTheTanke forward + R2

  • @EpicNameBro lol figured that out, thanks man. And how do you get a free talisman?  I don't wanna spend 1000 souls...

  • John Krasinski...Is that you ?! :O

  • @ricardosousa11 my secret identity has been compromised! abort mission abort!

  • Comment removed

  • Is there two handed attacks? Because I don't see u using any

  • dude i got a sword from this guy..

    130 atk sword, forgot the name

  • dude I love Vagrant Story, I'm really hoping they would remake the game too, it was an awesome game, scratch that, it still is an awesome game and I still have it even, I haven't really found another game like it sadly, but I have high hopes they'll recreate the game.

  • great commentary. thanks for the tips im going to get this game when it comes out.

  • So there is three rolling speeds now right? Naked fast, Under 50% armored, and over 50% armored (fat roll). Is this correct?

  • hie i foolishly killed Sol Rondo's Petrus.... is there any other wayyou can learn miracles?... nice vids by the way

  • I know the game is difficult but it would have been nice to see the magician resurrect or heal some of his minions. Maybe later in the game.

  • The Knight reminds me of a larger version of the phantom type knights from Demon's Souls only much larger with a tower shield. So I figured he was going to heal sooner or later. lol

  • i will play with soldier too

  • This game does get really hard later on so For Challenge... Dark Souls as well

  • man i remember i was knight in demon's souls and that class really helped me out..plus love the look of that one. so i;ll be knight once again in dark souls awhahahha maybe dark knight...

  • what is the intro song for this vid?

  • @Gaming4Newbs it's a short clip from a JPOP song called Letters by Utada Hikaru (please Hikki I love you baby gurl you know dat don't sue me baby)

  • @EpicNameBro Kingdom Hearts FTW

  • well, atleast we dont have to journey 2 levels back to the home camp. :)

  • I'm really jealous of people who knows japanese

    Now , I just want to scream RELEASE ENGLISH VERSION!!!

    Anyway... your skill is pretty good there , I hope I'll meet you in the world of Dark Souls , someday. :)

  • @Thaibiohazard123 I'll start sharpening my Estoc now :D

  • @EpicNameBro Estoc was the best weapon for backstabs in DS,but you had to raise your dexterity , so you want maybe to try that out.

  • @foxhoundnomah The Estoc was better than the Fatal Secret Dagger? Ha, I didn't know! The Estoc + 1 in Dark Souls has a D from strength and a C from dex... I wonder if it can be changed via upgrade? But that's a good idea nonetheless. I'm only soul level 15. I'm trying to decide whether I want to try out some more miracles, do the str thing, or w/e. My first build is likely to be all over the place!

  • @foxhoundnomah on ds you could upgraded it to fatal,wich gave a huge bonus for backstabs,but on dks i really dont know how it works,plus its on japanese.

  • @EpicNameBro i hope some day to meet you in the glory of battle where i will crush the life from your worthless stupid form *bow*

    ^_^

    btw you have an epic name bro.

  • hey i have a question, is there any control difference between this game and demon souls, i mean did they add a new attack or something?

  • @third00 forward R2 is now a jump attack, forward R1 is kick, and you can jump by pressing X while dashing. Diving attack is also new.. press x while falling from a high place

  • @EpicNameBro damn you reply so fast, thnx, cant wait oct 4th

  • where are the black phantoms ?

  • @envisionpower the servers weren't up as I recorded this

  • 9:40, after you beat that Scutum Knight(my name for them, based on the shield they carry), that path off to the right and into the bushes I believe leads to another blacksmith. Through the other exit of his workshop you can find a whole new area to explore.

  • @XoRandomGuyoX Thank you sir! As I watched the video, I was thinking about that path to myself!

  • wow thanks for sharing the vids bro, one question, does knight have heal as starting miracle? or only clerics have them

  • @jaychou85 I believe Knight does. My class is Soldier, but you can easily learn Heal with any class at the very beginning of the game. The requirements are 10 attunement, 12 faith, and a some souls to buy the spell.

  • Facing the Fallen Crescent Warrior look-alike, turn left. Go down the spiral staircase and look for a maiden trapped in a cell. You can upgrade your Estus Flasks here if you have the "fire keeper's soul." Go down another spiral staircase and you will find an elevator leading to the Little Rondo Ruins. There's a blacksmith located here that supposedly forges magic weapons for you (trapped in a cell down a broken staircase.) Be warned: don't venture Little Rondo Ruins past the blacksmith.

  • @DemonsSous

    Most blacksmiths have a specific 'transcend' that they can apply. I think the one near the Undead Chapel does 'lightning'. Are you saying the blacksmith near the underground lake does 'magic', or maybe 'enchanted'(I'm not sure of the difference, but there is a trophy for each upgrade path)? He's a good guy for aspiring Sorcerers, or anyone interested in soul arts, as he sells a Cane Catalyst, Soul Arrow, and another stronger version of that spell-give yourself 12 Attunement for both

  • @XoRandomGuyoX Awesome. Dropping that knowledge guys!

  • @DemonsSous GOOD info.  Thanks!

  • yay new video!

  • Love your vids bro keep em up!

  • Is there a blacksmith you can visit to repair your weapons like in Demon's Souls?

  • @212809

    Yes, multiple blacksmiths. You can also find a Repair Toolkit that allows you to effect your own repairs. It might only work at Firelink Shrine, but there are multiple areas that link back to it. You see one of them in this video. It also potentially explains the 'link' part of the name.

  • VVVVVAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRA­AAAAANNNNNNNTTTTTTT SSSSSSSSTTTTTTTOOOOORRRRRRRYYY­YYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    lol love that shit.

  • @r3dtext back when Square didn't suck lol

  • @EpicNameBro different company now. :P

  • So far, how would you compare the game to Demon's? Better, the same, they both have different pros and cons?
