Dark Souls Remastered - Soul/Humanity Quantity Dupe with Controller Ducksual 2020-04-25 | A new method for performing the Quantity Usage/Pocket Frampt dupe glitch without needing to use the mouse cursor. Lets you get lots of souls from regular consumable souls very quickly. Known to work on PS4. Much faster than the riposte dupe if you want to get a lot of souls quickly.TKGP Guide for mouse method (PC Only): youtu.be/Tf2s7Z1mVJAJapanese Video: youtu.be/YX6rVw_bSCwText Explanation:1. Quit and reload the game or look at a quantity prompt with the value you wish to use for the dupe.For example the purchase or drop menus for arrows - note that you do not need to buy or drop the arrows to use the quantity, you just need to see the prompt. 2. Get the double menu open by highlighting 'brightness' in the menu pressing A/X and then the right bumper to have the brightness menu open on top of the inventory menu.3. Press A/X to select the item in the inventory menu *while the cursor is highlighting 'brightness'*. This opens the normal use/drop/reorder menu from the inventory underneath the brightness menu without changing the brightness menu itself. This is why it is easiest if the item is in the top spot in your inventory, other spots also work as long as you can get 'brightness' selected in the visible menu (not OK or Defaults).4. Press down+left (or down+right) to advance the brightness menu to 'OK' without changing what the menu underneath has selected.If you don't manage to get this you will see the drop menu instead of the use menu. Alternatively you can hold down to get the hidden menu to advance twice while the brightness menu only advances once, and then press down 2 more times (I do this at 2:57 ).5. Press right so the cursor is on 'Defaults' and press A/X to open the use menu6. Press down to select the maximum quantity and use the soul/humanityNote that after duping or after failing the dupe, if you've seen a quantity prompt you need to view the arrow drop/purchase quantity prompt again or quit and reload (depending on which dupe you are doing).
Dark Souls PTDE - NG+ All Bosses Speedrun in 52:19 IGT Ducksual 2021-10-24 | New route, new PB. Still a bunch of mistakes but a better show of how fast this route can be.This run starts with a premade character with equipment and stats that can all be acquired in 1 NG cycle using any available glitches. (Soul/spell and item dupes, equipping items in the wrong slots, etc).The warp into Painted World at the start is setup prior to the beginning of the run by doing the cut content Shiva invasion in painted world.There's a new skip for getting to Stray Demon early which saves going up to the nest and waiting. It requires a 400 soul to set it up (pop the soul, roll into the cutscene, quitout and mash start). This doesn't work in remaster, although interestingly in the remaster on PS4 you can do this without needing to pop a soul.
Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition - All Bosses Speedrun in 1:14:52 IGT Ducksual 2021-08-09 | Got another PB today, mostly made by not dying to Manus and getting the lower burg skip to Capra first try.
Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition - All Bosses Speedrun in 1:16:40 Ducksual 2021-08-08 | Second full run of the ESMage route I've been working on. The route seems decently fast. Death to Manus and a failed lower burg skip at the end, along with a very slow start.Hopefully I can bring this down by a few minutes.
Dark Souls PTDE - Boxes Lower Undead Burg Skip with Keyboard Display Ducksual 2021-08-06 | Showing the keyboard rebinds and inputs for the boxes lower burg skip, used in PTDE all bosses speedruns.Credit to AndrovT for the keyboard rebinds making the setup much more consistent, Danflesh111 for his derust guide showing the quick plunge and r3sus for finding the original skip.
Dark Souls PTDE - NG+ All Bosses Speedrun in 56:29 IGT Ducksual 2021-03-28 | Got a new PB with a new route. This route uses the new Homeward wrong warp which saves a bit of running around.Still a lot of time to be saved, especially at the start. Not sure how low this can go yet.
Dark Souls Remastered - Firesage Skip Ducksual 2020-11-20 | Didn't think this worked in remaster but turns out it can. Worm RNG is absolutely dreadful though.
Dark Souls PTDE - NG+ Any% Speedrun in 12:47 IGT (14:13 RTA) Ducksual 2020-11-14 | So there was a new wrong warp found by Kahmul - youtube.com/watch?v=aOy_yGvoqasThis skipped the run back to the hydra arena and makes this run basically the same as force quit now (other than warping to firelink to do the wrong warp at the end). Decided I'd do some runs with the new strats and got this.
Dark Souls Remastered All Bosses Speedrun in 1:20:47 IGT with Pyromancy Ducksual 2020-11-09 | I was doing races with Masterr876 with various weapons and we decided to do a Pyromancy race for the recent speedsouls charity marathon.In preparation for it we did a few runs to know the route a bit better and I actually beat my normal all bosses PB (which was bad anyway) in one of these races.The idea behind this run is to use mostly pyromancy, with melee for bosses immune to it. Not an optimal route but's kinda fun and it did help figure out some stuff for the SL1 any% route.
Dark Souls Remastered Material and Consumable Dupe Guide (Console Version) Ducksual 2020-05-19 | Another glitch shown to us by the Japanese speedrun community (thanks to remihura - twitter.com/remihura55/status/1260584114706669572 )Unfortunately unlike the soul/humanity dupe this is a lot slower than the PC version of this dupe.Other useful videos:TKGP on Inventory Cramming: youtu.be/3Vqm04pzoH0Controller soul dupe: youtu.be/253tDHBY8YwPC Version of this dupe: youtu.be/F0UGzRHp_h0Steps:1. Dupe a lot of souls.2. Buy enough stuff so you are over the 10,000 unit weight limit (eg: 615 sets of Giant Armor).I use armor because you're probably going to want to upgrade weapons more and you don't want to scroll through 999 pikes or 556 giant shields to get to your other weapons.3. Buy a really light weapon (eg: Caestus).4. Drop that weapon and try to pick it up (doing this repeatedly would increase the number in the stack, but you don't need more than 99).5. Drop enough stuff so you are comfortably under the weight limit. (~15 sets of giant armor)6. Pick up the duplicated weapon.7. Talk to the merchant again and open the menu to buy another of the weapon (don't actually buy it).8. Perform the brightness dupe from the other video but instead of using the item, drop the maximum negative quantity of the item.9. To repeat the dupe you only need to go from step 7.
Dark Souls Remastered Any% speedrun in 37:12 IGT Ducksual 2020-05-07 | I was testing out a new route and got a PB. This is a Crystal Halberd based route with Undead Burg start and no RTSR. I take several extra bonfires and do some very safe strats in places.It's probably not faster and you still have to farm - in this case a titanite chunk from the lizard at the start.I've already ended up changing the route compared to what I do here (Parish after O&S for +4 and higher levels for Quelaag) but this is my current PB.
Dark Souls Remastered - Maximum Ascended Pyromancy Flame in Under 8 Minutes Ducksual 2020-04-25 | Using a combination of a soul duplication glitch and an out of bounds area in the depths it's possible to get maximum ascended pyro very quickly without fighting any bosses. Can make for some fun easy runs.Dupe Glitch: youtu.be/253tDHBY8Yw
Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition - Any% Speedrun in 37:20 Ducksual 2020-04-01 | Not a very good run, but a PB anyway.

Dark Souls Remastered - Any% Force Quit in 21:06 IGT (25:27 RTA) Ducksual 2020-01-26 | New route that saves a lot of running around by being able to dupe and use the BKH as soon as you get it. WR at the time, nice to be able to snag this in only a few attempts. If anyone else runs this they'll probably beat it fairly quickly.Quelaag warp was awful, Quelaag fight was ok but I only got RTSR at the end. Gargoyles was a bit messy, same with Golem. O&S was decent, hitting Gwynevere with a firebomb is impossible. Gwyn was Gwyn.
Dark Souls Remastered - Any% Force Quit in 22:50 IGT Ducksual 2020-01-20 | A runthrough of the new FQ route for Dark Souls Remastered. A new dupe glitch completely changes the route. I might do this again a few times as it's a pretty quick run to do. I fail every warp at least once and don't have any good boss fights :).
Dark Souls Remastered - Sorcery Goughless Kalameet common cycle positioning Ducksual 2020-01-02 | This is my current positioning and aim for the more common Kalameet RNG. This is a strat for the current sorcery all bosses route.Rare RNG: youtube.com/watch?v=6wbD5kxGpNg

New upper Blighttown route for All Achievements Ducksual 2019-12-04 | New upper Blighttown pathing for AA that also picks up Remedy.Includes the new Firelink section of upgrading and placing the LV, I don't do Great Hollow as nothing has changed in that area.
Dark Souls Remastered All Bosses Speedrun in 1:22:48 IGT (1:32:00 RTA) Ducksual 2019-11-21 | A fairly big PB, still some major timelosses in deaths and other sloppy mistakes. A lot of easy time to save in the future.
Dark Souls Remastered - Depths Out of Bounds Ducksual 2019-11-18 | Capra fog gate skip and Depths out of bounds for dark souls remastered. Should save roughly 20s in all bosses. Done in 3 segments because I'm still practicing this!
Dark Souls Prepare to Die NG+ All Bosses in 57:49 IGT Ducksual 2019-10-29 | My first sub hour IGT run of this category.This run uses a new glitch with some additional setup where you do the cut content Shiva invasion in the Painted World and then in a new run you can do a PCC warp and deload the DLC which warps you there.A few major timelosses, lost about a minute and a half to a death to a failed Blighttown plunge and then a very slow Firesage lineup. Some sketchy pathing and menuing mishaps. Going to take a break from this category and do some other runs.
Dark Souls NG+ Online in 6:06 Ducksual 2019-10-16 | Not something that would be valid for a leaderboard, just a silly run, done online because you need to first invade someone in the kiln in another save before starting the run.A few mistakes cost me sub 6 but on closing the game you can't do the route any more until you manage to invade someone in the Kiln again.At least it's not pay2win :)I accidentally stopped recording at the end just before showing the time in game, I restarted recording and just joined that bit on - livesplit is showing IGT anyway.
Dark Souls PTDE NG+ Any% in 15:32 Ducksual 2019-10-15 | New route for NG+ any% using hydra arena Sen's Fortress Skip.Requires doing the Lautrec invasion in Anor Londo before starting a run. If you don't the game will instead kick you into the main menu.Not quite frame perfect.
Priscilla BKH+3 Fights Ducksual 2019-09-03 | For remaster all bossesIf I miss a hit or do an extra hit at nothing it's just because I'm bad.
Dark Souls Remastered: Stray with BKH +3 Ducksual 2019-09-03 | Stray kill with BKH +3 for the new all bosses route.Nothing really new about this. I could have played this much more aggressively.Old Mail Draker RTSR setup :)

Easy Remaster Prompt Swap with rebinds Ducksual 2019-09-03 | Using steam controller configuration to create an action set with left click and 'E' bound to X and Y on an Xbox controller in order to make the Prompt Swap glitch easier to perform in Dark Souls Remastered.The latest Steam updates (~Nov 2019) have broken this slightly. You now need to bind 'select' to the specific action set you want to switch to rather than just 'next action set' or steam will not remember the configuration.Yes I still accidentally sold 1 Golem soul at the start - it's the least valuable soul at least!
Dark Souls PTDE NG+ All Bosses in 1:02:11 Ducksual 2019-09-02 | NG+ All Bosses speedrun in 1:02:11.73Sub hour is definitely possible, I can still add a couple of skips I wasn't confident enough to do late in the run. Finally got a good Kalameet fight although the setup could be faster.This run makes use of Equip Slot Manipulation and wrong warps to have 4 pieces of headgear equipped and skip some long segments of running around. Quantity Storage has been used to get more crystal soul spear casts than you would normally be able to get in 1 new game cycle.
Dark Souls NG+ Force Quit PB (15:40) Ducksual 2019-09-02 | Force Quit in NG+ with Sif skip.Not going to do this more seriously as I can't seem to get Firelink skip. Just wanted to improve over my terrible current PB.This run uses a new glitch: wiki.speedsouls.com/darksouls:Equip_Slot_Manipulation#Stale_IndexesDoing this with Covenant of Artorias allows us to keep the effect of the ring through into NG+ - this lets us skip Sif and just kill 4 kings (1 king) which is faster than killing Gargoyles and Quelaag and ringing the bells. This does mean if the ring is removed it is lost and so it has to be kept on until after the 4 Kings fightESM is also why I have no body for this run as I have 2 crowns and a mask equipped.
Dark Souls Any% Speedrun - 38:15 Ducksual 2019-06-20 | Dark Souls any% in 38:15An improvement over my previous run but still a lot of time to be saved.This run was done offline so I didn't have a microphone on.
