  • 5:30 EPIC "Oh!! WTF?!!"

  • when those crossbow dudes get a hit on you it's soooo statisfying to backstab those mofo's :p

  • Speaking of jumping on mobs head and doing damage ->

    Mob landing on your head, dealing damage to you.

    YEAH BOI!

  • Aw, I wish I saw this playthrough when it was just starting out, I could have told you that there was a titanite bug that comes out if you smash some barrels on the way up to the taurus demon. I don't know if you go back and get it, but I know you missed it so far.

  • easiest way to kill the ugly armored monstrosity: throw a skull in the fires, he will die to the first one

  • whats japan like?

  • drop rates are based off of your humanity till ten with the 1.05 patch so higher drop rate higher chance but still it is not ever guaranteed to drop.

  • Awh, I miss the fresh experience. If I could wipe my memory of Dark Souls I would, because the first playthrough was one of the best gaming experiences of my life. After that it just became too easy. New game plus, PvP, SL 1 playthrough. Hundreds of hours later and the game is a repetitive drag. But those first 200 hundred hours were fantastic. I hope they release another game like this, even harder with more bosses. And better online play.

  • i got a backstab off of him and got the helm, i think(if i recall correctly) that the only way you cant get the helm is if you throw the skull into the fire, having him kill himself, or sotin like that

  • i want this on pc so bad :( , also demon souls

  • in order to get the Armoured Boar Helm, you must let him kill himself with one of the fires

  • @Insanecrazyhorse incorrect i got by backstabbing him and fighting him till he died no fire was used

  • ive killed this bastard 2 times and didnt get the boar helm.

    also in the darkroot garden or whatever its called, i killed the black knight with the spear/halbred thing and he didnt drop the weapon, he gave me a blue titanite chunk.

    WTF!!!!

  • If you go down the stairs behind and to the right of him, just lure him into it and attack him from the front, he cant get all the way down so if you dont have any arrows you can do that. he drops the shield after that kill too.

  • I am a gentleman i am soooo offended.

  • @EpicNameBro I am thinking to buy this agin cuz i sold it 1month ago,

    Is there alot of players online pvping? and playing? cuz i like games with many players

  • Lol more like a booty stab!

  • and so i say..."man shit" lol

  • You know, if you had stayed on the top where the archers were and sniped the boar in the face with arrows, he would've dropped the helm. Thats what I did like an hour ago. And P.S, the helm is a really good equip!

  • @slades111 yup, you can also throw the skull into the fire and he'll suicide!

  • @EpicNameBro One other cheap way to beat him: have him chase you to the stairs, right next to the fire. He'll be in a little cranny, and has to turn around. Walk off the stairs and plunge attack (from five feet off the ground). Done. No skulls and no arrows required. Ahahaha

  • @OdinOurSaviour gotta love it! there's more than one way to do everything in this game

  • @EpicNameBro thats what i did and i got the helmet

  • @slades111 how many shots did it take? 46 apparently wasn't enough. . .

  • The way i beat the boar is you wait for him to charge and lure him to those giant fire piles, cause it is weak against fire, and it will do BIG HIT!

  • Greatshield of Artorias cancels all status effects, so no poison, toxic, or bleed build up as long as you have it up, also has the highest stability (that I know of) great for bosses

  • What class did you start with?

  • @m477uk Warrior

  • @EpicNameBro Hey EPic, is it actually possible for a warrior to have a strength DEX, and END build? or is too much souls?

  • @Bachinator009 You can do a Str / Dex hybrid if you want. I would recommend other builds more, but it is possible to use. Are you wanting PvP at SL 120 or just making a build for killing bosses?

  • @EpicNameBro I am going for PvP really, my first character is derp, as he wears Black iron armor with Havels and FAP ring. ANd uses BK +5 sword, and it doesnt work for PvP. I was wondering if the wanderer might be a good starter or just warrior and STR/DEX. Also is a Knight STR/VIT/Faith combo good?

  • @Bachinator009 Your starting class isn't important at all, but for PvP at 120, there are three common build types:

    A straight build that focuses on ONE of the main stats (Str, Dex, Int, or Faith)

    A hybrid that usually uses a weapon buff like Crystal Magic Weapon or Darkmoon Blade- (these builds use Srt/Int, Str/Faith, Dex/Int, or Dex/Faith)

    An elemental build- meet the stat requirements for your weapon, and then put EVERYTHING in Vit and End.

    Everyone needs some Vit and End.

  • @EpicNameBro

    Hmmm, this looks pretty nice Epic. One build I found interesting was Jerp's build from JerpdoesGaming. He uses a Lightning Ricard's Rapier +....something probably as high as a lightning weapon will go, and he also went straight Vit/End after getting to that stats for Ricard's and this triple shot crossbow. Thanks for the advice, and by the way great work with Dark Souls. You, Quelaag, MichelKobeyashi, and Mushinroja make this game a wonderful experience.

  • @EpicNameBro One last question, are weapon buffs such as pine resins, Sunlight/Darkmoon Blade cost effective?

  • can you direct the boar into the fire with the skulls?

  • @tomkat69pc yup!

  • @tomkat69pc You can, and you can also just make him charge into it, baiting him into the fire is so easy.

  • i got boar helm to drop after I backstabbed but its a chance drop and it isnt garenteed to drop like a boss item

  • weee I made the boar run into those fire pits and it killed him :) also it gave me the helm... but honestly that thing is huge o.o

  • what door does the key at 9:11 unlock?

  • it wouldn't really break if you don't use the special attack

  • This game is great - the story is hidden in the item description but even without paying attention to any story it's so addictive. Although I'm not happy with some of things in the latest patch, namely that you get twice as many souls and that you can buy twinkling tritanite.

  • love this intro! holy bejeesus its awesome

  • i killed the boar with no back stabs and still no helm wtf?

  • @adamleehays1994 it's a random drop

    I didn't know at the time this video was made (looooooooong ago)

  • @adamleehays1994 i used a drop attack on him from the bridge, use one of the skulls to get him right under the bridge then use a drop, i think i killed him in one hit and then got the helmet. really easy

  • the boar can be killer by the fire.. lure it to the fire..

  • The way I killed the boar was by luring him into those two bonfires. They cook him quick, and I'm horrible at getting backstabs.

  • I find that the best way to counter spear soldiers is to kick them until they attack and then counter it (L2/LT then R1/RB). Kills them instantly if you have a good weapon, though you need to time it correctly to avoid getting penetrated (Oi! You at the back of the room! Stop laughing!).

  • You can back stab the boar, or whatever, and cheese him to death with arrows, safest way to get the helmet.

  • Epic name bro!

  • right where that skeleton that u first shot the arrow at then kicked him off, if u shoot the dragons tail enough with ur bow u will get an AMAZING sword. just lettin u know :DD

  • It was so satisfying shoving my morning star in the boar's ass after dying so much before.

  • Hey epic, t get the helmet you have to do a plunging attack from where the archers were ;)

  • even easier way is to throw a skull under the bridge/area u can drop from and drop attack him instant kill right there with no risk

  • ye dude just did it now, throw the skulls in the fires and the bore is piss easy to kill.

  • Hey guys i've found a good way to get the Boar's Helmet . I tried it 10 times and i got it 6 times .Get on the small bridge and keep hitting its head/neck until its about to die , then go down and hit the head few times .

  • @chimpanzi20 head/neck with an arrow .... sorry i forgot to mention

  • dude get the lures then chuck them into a fire and the boar dies

  • Are the humanity drops totally random?

  • @MizticZz I think so, yes, except some mini-bosses

  • @MizticZz I think, and it's kind of a stretch, but i think some of the giant rats drop some humanity.

  • Dude i Love yer voice check my channel for 2 guides on dsouls :)))

  • i killed the boar by luring him to the fire and he kills himself and i got the boar helmet so but i think i didnt get souls :(

  • I would rather say the amount of dmg it deals to you or the time of killing it is important to get the helmet. I was luring him out of the gate where I was on the top narrow part shooting his ass with bow. That's how I killed him and I've got helmet. I didn't get any dmg.

  • thank you sir! finally kicked that boars ass!

  • 3:05 if you defeat that black knight. and shoot the dragon from the top of those stairs. youll be rewarded with 10,000 souls and he'll reveal a bonfire at the end of that bridge! he was keeping it blocked but after one shot he'll dissapear!!! BTW thnx for the guide. its helpin my ass out

  • where did you get that "heal" item ? :/

  • firebombs. use like 4 or 5 on that bridge above .and he's down for the count. plus i got the helmet

  • How and where did you get that axe?

  • Yeah, that boar. I said "fuck it" ran off the bridge and stabbed that fucker in the back of his skull! Insta kill!

    

  • Easy way to kill that boar: Throw that skull to the flames.

  • I think u just need 2 kill him with fire 4 the helmet, but i´m not sure if it works if u just throw some bombs

  • Just killed the boar, 2 backstabs and then he backed up into the little bonfire and burnt himself to death so I got the hemlet :D

  • I got the helmet just from casting Soul Arrow from up top on him

  • the helmet also drops from the fully armored boars in the blocked off section of anor lando after you get the lordvessel

  • You can buy a repair kit from the vendor in undead burg (found by smashing the crates to reveal a stairway near the two spear undead) that way you can spend souls to repair weapons and armor at the bonfire. It costs 3,000 souls which is pricy for early on, but definitely worth it so that you can keep your rare weapons in shape

  • lol i got that helm after i backstabed it 1 time

  • Shak that soul for me

    Shak that soul for me

    C'mon knight, shake that soul for me !

  • why wont you use your dragon sword :(

  • that black knight is not that hard just bring him next to the bonfire and do the backstab !!!

  • Is there any save i miss?

  • i think we'll get this dude's attention with an axe to the mother f'n back hahaha. epic.

  • Ha I'm kinda out of luck since I accidentally killed the shop keeper, is there any others that sell arrows?

  • can u sell items?

  • what i always do to backstab on the pikemen and most of the enemies is to always drop down my shield and circle around them closely cos they will start attacking when they know your shield is down.

  • spank that boar :D

  • i get helmet in my first attempt, but i hate my class and i delete ;[

  • LOL this was so cool!!

  • i can se that ur skills are limited but what do u do when theyr all gone? then u cant use it anymore? or do u need 2 do some thing so u get more?

  • dude, your videos are great and the commentary is priceless!

  • I got the drake sword and one hit that boar with a plunging attack and got the helmet. i dunno if the helmet is random or what but

  • I find if you DON'T lock on to the spear guys and you keep circling closely they will thrust leaving their back vulnerable.

  • because it has not caught the dragon straight sword with 40 arrows in the tail gives

  • This game reminds so much of my old DM for D&D I had who loved killing my character in really cheap/unexpected ways.

  • If you guys don't know, there's a new awesome addition to the game, you can jump! To jump, you have to sprint (holding O/B) and quickly press O/B while sprinting. You can do this to easily jump small gaps and break many objects at once.

    Also, for the helmet, it doesn't matter whether you backstab the boar or not, but there's a percentage chance (like in Demon's Souls) that you'll find items, and unlike Demon's Souls, you can increase it with Humanity, not Luck.

  • My experience with the boar was that you can gitch him near the stairs when you first come up to the spearmen, then just casually lead him into the fire. It will do a moderate amount of damage and he will be downed in 4-5. Also leading the dark knight to the fire works too.

  • I back stabbed him all the time and still got the helmet.

  • Hey dude,

    Were can i get this heal miracle?

  • What stat governs spears?

    is it strength or dex?

  • Nice. You knew your Demon Souls pretty well. I like that. Even the World Tendency system and all the hidden loot too. Now that's a hardcore DS player.

    I really hope DkS has the same kind of replayability and depth like that. I've just rung the church bell and probed a little bit of the Darkroot Gardens, so I'm hoping the claim that "the story doesn't even start until after you've rung the 2nd bell" is really true, cos the game's been reeeeaallly slow so far.

  • @JapanForSale the whole thing seems really slow....I guess it's more about gameplay than story

  • @JapanForSale Just like DS, there are TONS of hidden parts to the story that you can only see under certain conditions. The main story is straight forward, but the subplots are great. I can also tell already that every NG or NG+ is going to be different.

    With the Master Key, you can clear areas in a lot of different orders... thus getting different items, etc. I went church->sewers, but many people went church -> forest, etc. I love DS, but DkS blows it out of the water in most ways.

  • @EpicNameBro Yes, and also because of the lack of a concise Tendency guide, it's gonna take all of us a lot of trial and error to narrow down when to do what in order to experience every plot point. It's more nebulous than I'd like, but whatever. Luckily I have the Master Key so I'm pretty much following your path too. Couldn't find out how to proceed in the forest so I just left it.

  • @EpicNameBro i seriously cant tell is this live commentary or did you talk over it, your style of commentary confuses me :L

  • @raytaxthevoid Sometimes live, sometimes post. Don't worry about it bro!

  • I made a warrior to see if the boar helm didnt drop for me and it didnt i think the helm has class restrictions kinda wish i made a depraved now they can weld anything im sure

  • Stay on the bridge and snipe his tail thats how i got it

  • The boar drops the helmet after you kill it. I got it the first time, luring the boar into bashing against the wall and shooting its butt (its only unarmored part) with bow and arrow.

  • was your dudley reference to street fighter? street fighter ftw!

  • epic intro

    nice vids bro

  • Buy the repairer at the first merchant, it can repair your stuffs at bon fire

  • Fightlin' like gentlement, fightin' like gentlemen...backstab!! lol ^_^

  • on the ledge above i just sniped him with my shortbow he did nothing tho i didnt get a drop

  • Speaking of moustaches, how do you make a decent looking beard? My characters keep ending up with peach fuzz.

    Also where can I find the heal spell?

  • You mentioned not seeing any blacksmiths. That's because the first one is in the undead parish if you haven't gotten there yet.

  • kick ass intro!!!!

  • Just got lucky, dropped on his head with a smack. Got the helmet. Wonder if its the way to get the helmet? Hope so.

  • i still find it funny when you back stab the bore its just wrong lol

  • I was wondering what you stats your using (EpicNameBro) :)

  • Fought the boar with 3 characters, used both the fire method and the backstab = no helmet. That's right, 3 fights, 0 drops.

  • @KrakenKid I'm in the same boat. 3 fights down 0 drops =(

  • Comment removed

  • Just a note for everyone who is thinking there is a trick to getting the helmet... the helmet appears to be a random drop.

  • @EpicNameBro I got it first try, Unfortunately I don't like it just looks a bit silly.

  • @EpicNameBro Yeah I just got the helmet a few minutes ago and I was wondering when and how I broke the boars head piece. Literally got him in one back stab with the Drake Sword and was thinking I was SOL, when I saw he dropped something. Helmet is pretty damn nice.

  • @EpicNameBro the other way to kill him is lure ing him to teh fire its a bs way

  • @EpicNameBro Hey Epicnamebro what was your level on this episode?

  • i shot the bore on the back with arrows and i got the helmet

  • make the boar crash into the wall to get the helmet thts wht happen to me

  • Is there a trick to switching from your main weapon to your bow? When you do it it seems very fast how exactly do you switch?

  • @OsuRaven If it's anything like Demon's Souls, you simply push the D-Pad in the direction you set it to. Equip both sword and bow on the right for example and pressing Right on the D-Pad switches them.

  • Yo epic you can get the Helmet from a backstab... I am a Theif and I got it with the backstab. I wonder if it is a class thing???

  • Comment removed

  • i was wondering, i got the drake sword, but the aoe your talking about when hitting L2 i dont get? you mean the heavy attack and then how cuz i havent noticed any aoe damage from it

  • @MikkiZHskDK hold it in two-hands and press R2

  • @MikkiZHskDK but be warned...  it takes 30 durability everytime

  • I keep diving like a handicap, how do I prevent this? It's making the huge knight impossible to kill.

  • Make the boar die in the fire to get the helm!!!!!!!! Just get behind it and let him charge you.. roll out at the last sec.. he'll die a fiery death.. helm looks sick

  • i got the sword that the black knight holds and it's a rare drop but it's worth it

    Black Knights Greatsword

    Requirements: 32 strength, 18 dexterity

    does alot of damage and has great secondary attacks but is very slow

  • THE reason. Not fucking three. I hate you Swype

  • Three reason you miss some back stabs is BC you've just recently or immediately let go of the block. If you block too long you'll just hit em in the back. I go it all the time. Let go of the block sooner and wait about a second or 2 longer behind them

  • if it wasnt for fact im a pyro i wuld get heal i prefer an attack over the heal = / and a good tattic for the spear is to not block and when u see him wind up an attack cuz it takes him a cool second to do it then u throw up your sheild and counter attack

  • 1 falling strike with the drake sword is all it took

  • I got the helmet from a downward strike and then luring him to that fire pit. It kills him fast.

  • dark souls is the best geam ive ever played, period

  • how do you do those finishing moves?

  • @Renneskid counter hit after a parry, or get directly behind the enemy

  • @EpicNameBro thanks man :)

  • Armored boar died for me with one backstab with drake sword :P And nothing dropped of course :(

  • I got the helmet without attacking the boar, I threw the lure skull into the fire and the pig just circled it and burned to death, got an item drop, got the helmet :)

  • @MorgonCB i didn't use the skull, but i stood near the fire and wait for the boar to charge at me before rolling out. then just circle around the circle around the fire and the boar will follow u. helm dropped

  • Killed this pig by accident.. back stabbed it with drake sword when it came at me under the draw bridge, hit me slammed into wall got up as it turned around spammed attack (backstabberd it :D) ... and it dropped a Bad ass massive helmet..

    cool story. The end.

  • How do I get the Heal spell? What class were you?

  • @ohhjamesk If you are a cleric, you start the game with it. However, you can also buy it from a cleric relatively near the second bonfire (the one after the giant crow scene). talk a few times to him until he decides to sell miracles.

  • those must be nyc rats

  • how many people playing this game has had a sleeping disorder and wake up 6 to 7 pm at night only to smoke pot or drink beer and play this game from where you left off?

  • Its called Drake sword in english...And my char's name is actually PedroHiryuukaen, the perfect sword for my character XD

  • I'm actually puzzled, why were you using the axe, when you actually claimed the dragon sword, which is 200 dmg, the strength required is 16, but you can use it with both hands if you don't meet the requirement, still a lot better than the axe!?

  • @Ryuuken24 It was broken. I spammed the hell outta two-handed R2 until I found out that it would break the sword.

  • @EpicNameBro please tell me where to get good armor before the depths

  • the easiest way to kill bull is to throw skulls to firespot under the bridge. No cost of arrows :P

  • dude, do I need to join the Way of White covenant to get the heal miracle? you know, with the fatty at firelink shrine

  • i didn't know his ass wasn't protected.. i just used darksword and killed him and didn't get anything

  • i sniped his ass, (literally his ass) and got that helmet, its freaking huge

  • I got the helm by luring it near the bridge with the skull and then performing a dive attack on it, which killed it in one hit.

  • how do you get the healing miracle..?

  • @mhduckman You buy it, for 10,000 souls, but it has limited used, like 14. So it's not a good idea to spend it frivolously.

  • @Ryuuken24 ??? The Heal MIracle has 5 uses and can recharge at any bonfire.

  • @EpicNameBro Some dude told me differently, he said once you used it up you needed to buy more, well, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. It still expensive, how the heck do you get 10,000 that easy. Back to grind.

  • @Ryuuken24 It only costs 4k.... and it is reusable.

  • @EpicNameBro I think you'll find it is actually 10,000 on the English version.

  • @CagBagGaming Heal? Or greater Heal? That's a big change. Thanks for the headsup. It was 4k when I got it (
