Dark Souls 2 - Parry and Backstep Tricks Demo vageta311 2014-05-16 | Just a short video to show some of the known parry tricks, along with backstep iFrames and partial/iFrame parries. I haven't figured out the mechanic completely with the partials, but it seems they definitely give iFrames. They only seem to work on enemies that can normally be parried, but that specific attack can't. Most of the Ruin Sentinels attacks can be parried, except for the Whirlwind attack but it still allows for the partial for some reason. The last one is sort of a Roll cancel, partial parry.. not sure what to name it but it works. For reference my character has 105 agi, thus he has 13 iFrames in his roll. For those that haven't seen it yet, I did some iFrame testing yesterday and posted results on Reddit.

Dark Souls 2 - Twitch Highlights vageta311 2014-05-12 | Just a compilation of random twitch highlights from a few different runs. Swole Bro's, SL 1 NG+ co-op, one shot attempts, parry fun, etc.... I have a ton of footage that never really gets used once the stream is over so I figured I'd put a small portion of it together and see if people enjoy it. If so I can probably do more in the future, if not then it'll be a one shot deal.For reference, the character in the witch outfit is in NG+ at SL 1.twitch.tv/vageta311
Dark Souls 2 - How to get the Vanquishers Seal Early in NG - Part 3 vageta311 2014-04-10 | Due to the hour long Rhoy exterminations I've edited the final video down to the essential parts. I've also shown what kind of damage the ring can put out even without my stats being maxed.*Note: Due to having to download the stream parts in FLV, convert to MP4, edit and then render again the quality will probably be a bit lower than the previous parts. This is why most of my stream conversions will be unedited in the future.
Dark Souls 2 - How to get the Vanquishers Seal Early in NG - Part 2 vageta311 2014-04-09 | How to farm Awestones very early in the game and get the Vanquisher's Seal. To get the ring under normal means would require you to reach well into NG+ or later and unfortunately you couldn't enjoy using it in NG. I came up with a method that allows you to acquire the ring in around 3 hours and only requires 5 boss kills, leaving you the rest of the NG playthrough with your shiny overpowered fists. -- www.twitch.tv/vageta311/c/4036007&utm_campaign=archive_export&utm_source=vageta311&utm_medium=youtube

MH3U - Everything Possible Before Great Jaggi - Speedrun Challenge Part 2 vageta311 2013-12-16 | I was planning to save this until next week so people would have a chance to get their own runs completed, but with the Holidays approaching I didn't want to risk not having time later. This video includes my best Great Jaggi time as well as my extended challenge runs of Qurupeco and Gobul. My Jaggi and Peco runs are pretty good and I could probably only improve on them by a few seconds. My Gobul run was done live while streaming on Twitch and was just a successful practice run. It's a good time but I have a lot of room for improvement. I decided to take this character online with friends last night so I can't really continue the challenge anymore, however I'd like to see what others can work out.For those wanting to extend the challenge, which I suggest as it will make you much better at the game and force you to learn all the monsters weaknesses and such, then follow these rules in addition to the original.1. Port Tanzia doesn't change, the only quests available are the same ones that are open to the Great Jaggi portion of the challenge.2. Once you beat Great Jaggi you may do all open village quests up until the first Peco quest. This means Arzuros, Great Wroggi, etc.. I didn't feel these guys were worth a speedrun and allowing their gear opened up a lot more possibilities making the challenge more fun.3. After Peco you can do everything up until Gobul which happens to be the urgent quest. Keep in mind once you defeat Gobul another set of quests opens but you may not do them until after you've gotten your best Gobul time.4. As with the previous rules, you may not use the parts of the monster you are currently speed running. Using them is the reward for getting a good time and moving forward.You can extend this challenge as far as you want to by just following the same basic rules. Choose the next monster, allow all quests up until that point, don't use that monster's parts until you've completed your best time, etc...
MH3U - Everything Possible Before Great Jaggi - Speedrun Challenge vageta311 2013-12-12 | twitch.tv/vageta311The Challenge:Start a fresh game and complete the quest "Pain in the Plains" with the fastest quest time you can manage using only gear and resources available before completing any large monster quests in the village or port.Rules:1. You may only use gear and resources available without completing any large monster quests. The only quests you can complete are the gathering, small monster killing and harvest quests. If a large monster appears in the quest you may kill it and use it's parts, but any quest specific to killing a large monster is off limits. You may not complete a quest just to open up the next rank, part of the challenge is being stuck in the lower star quests. Anything the vendors sell, the boat(s) bring back or you can harvest is allowed.2. You must do this solo, no getting help online with G Rank buddies killing things for you or giving you items. This bypasses the challenge.3. You may complete the "Pain in the Plains" quest as many times as you like in order to perfect your speed-run, however you may not use any of the Great Jaggi parts to make gear. Sell them or save them for after the challenge, just don't use them to make gear. The challenge is using gear before the Great Jaggi, not using his gear.The challenge is complete when you achieve a time you are content with, or that you can't improve upon. If you take on this challenge then drop a comment with your time and method to share with others. If you have the ability to record your run then feel free to send a video response to this video for others to enjoy. I will post my best time sometime next week for those that are interested in my time and methods.If there are enough people interested in this challenge I may extend it to a few more monsters and then the final tally will be the sum of all quest times across the chosen monsters. I would consider Qurepeco, Gobul, Rathian and maybe even the "Repel the Lagiacrus" quests as additions and would follow the same rules about only using gear available before each quest. IE; After you defeat Jaggi then you may do any and all quests up to the first village Qurepeco, and then do that quest until you're satisfied but without using any Peco parts.

Dragons Dogma for the Souls Player - Bitterblack Challenge vageta311 2013-06-28 | This is a challenge I came up with during my time playing Dragon's Dogma that I think veteran players may enjoy as well as hopefully sparking some interest in Souls players who may be looking for another fun game to play. The idea of the challenge is to make it as far as possible in BBI with a fresh character on normal difficulty without doing any of the old world content. BBI is extremely difficult for a new character, but the quality of the drops makes it possible to get geared up quickly if you can make it to the chests. When I started this challenge I was sure it wasn't even complete-able but I eventually did finish it so it's entirely possible.Rules:1. You must do only what is necessary in game to reach BBI and go no further. Specifically you must reach the encampment, create your pawn and then defeat the Hydra. You may go no further but can do anything from that area back to BBI.2. You must play offline and only use your own pawn. You may not recruit other pawns, especially other players' pawns, nor are you allowed to put your pawn online for others to use. This negates most of the challenge. This challenge is about how far you can go using your own character and pawn without relying on anyone else.Note: I was short on time and only added commentary for the first half of the video. If there is enough interest then I will continue to stream the challenge on Twitch and can then transfer it over to Youtube. The first challenge I streamed using an Assassin was far too long to make into youtube videos but now that I have a better understanding I should be able to do it in far less time.You can find me streaming during the weekend evenings as well as late night during the week at Twitch.tv/vageta311.

I need to tweak my settings to find the best combination of resolution and upload bitrate. My mistake was trying to stream in 720 which caused pixelization during fast movements. Part 5 was the 2nd day of the stream and I knocked down the resolution to 540 and it helped keep up.However I would call my first stream attempt a success. I peaked up to 500 viewers and kept 400 during most of the run. Thanks to all that watched, it was fun to interact with everyone while playing the game. There will be more streaming to come.Sadly the 2nd half of 5-2 is missing from the stream. I have no idea why it's missing but it's not in the original saved file on Twitch anymore.

Twitch Tv Stream Announcement vageta311 2013-05-24 | Just a quick video to give you guys the details for my new Twitch Tv channel. I decided that streaming would be the best way to deliver some Dark Souls 2 content without cutting into my actual playtime so I wanted to get an early start and learn the in's and out's of streaming, that way when DkS 2 releases it's a matter of simply broadcasting it with no headache.***** The address to my Twitch channel is:twitch.tv/vageta311I also setup a Twitter account specifically in order to announce any streams that I plan on doing so those that are interested can sign up and get instant notification. Note I will not be tweet bombing you guys, this is only for channel announcements. My Twitter is @vageta311******What to expect from the stream? Probably just about anything I may be playing at the time. I often play random games but don't want to commit to doing a playthrough on Youtube. This way I'll simply be able to broadcast anytime I play something and will have the option of just adding it to my Youtube account afterwards. I play a wide variety of games, old and new, so you can expect just about anything. I'm burnt out on Dark Souls right now but I may be talked into continuing my NG+7 challenge at some point via streaming it live. My first official Stream will be Friday May 24th sometime in the late afternoon or early evening (3-5pm PST). I will be doing a low level character run (my 1st Demon's Souls challenge) so if I don't finish Friday I will probably stream again on Saturday. Depending on time I may also play some Ghoul's and Ghosts, classic Street Fighter or anything else that could be interesting for you guys to watch.*****The footage in this video is about a month old that I never used. It was a quick challenge I came up with and posted on reddit called "ring the bells". Basic rules were to choose any class, stick to your starter equipment only (besides rings) with absolutely no upgrades and then ring both bells as well as obtaining the abyssal ring from Sif. So basically it boiled down to taking on the gargoyles, Quelaag and Sif with a base level character with un-upgraded starting gear. Not incredibly difficult, but probably harder than it sounds for most players.
Dark Souls - SL 1 NG+7 Fresh Start Challenge - part 3 vageta311 2013-05-19 | The 3rd installment of the challenge. Since people seem to like me talking about things not necessarily happening on screen I continue the trend. However this time I get into a bit more specifics and was actually reading what I had already written down. This is a bit different than my usual off the cuff commentary so let me know what you think. Would you rather me just ramble off the top of my head or do you like the occasional in-depth analysis that works better when I read what I've already written?I talk about difficulty options that I would love to see in Dark Souls 2 as well as the non-stop backstab hate mongering that happens in Dark Souls. I'm a pretty opinionated guy so some of what I say might come off as harsh but in the end it's still only an opinion.
Dark Souls - NG+7 Low Level Co-op Destruction vageta311 2013-05-13 | One of the viewers on my NG+7 fresh start challenge series mentioned that it'd be interesting to watch me summon other unsuspecting players into NG+7 and see how they handle it. I did this with a different character and leveled her to 10 so I'd have a wider range of potential victims... er summons. I tried different areas, but the Parish was really the only place I could get decent signs, but it turned out to be plenty difficult enough. Basically I feigned timid so I could get them to take the lead.. and so came the carnage.For anyone who seemed capable of handling it I ended up fully helping, though out of all the summons we only made it to the Gargoyles once. This wasn't so much making fun of anyone, there were actually some good players. One guy even had the balls to parry the Berenike Knight. It was more about how difficult NG+7 really is, especially when you aren't aware until it's too late.The song is "Symphony of Destruction" by Megadeth.
Dark Souls - SL 1 NG+7 Fresh Start Challenge - part 2 vageta311 2013-05-03 | Part 2 of my NG+7 fresh start challenge run. This time I run around quite a bit and do some weapon/upgrade farming in order to prepare for the Quelaag boss fight.I'm running out of things to talk about with Dark Souls so I end up rambling on about other things. Let me know if this is too far out in left field or if it's still more enjoyable than no commentary.
Dark Souls - SL 1 NG+7 Fresh Start Challenge vageta311 2013-04-29 | With Dark Souls' life cycle coming to an end I decided to propose what I've often considered the end all be it of legitimate challenge runs. Enter NG+7 at SL 1 with nothing more than you start with in a regular NG, not to mention denying yourself the master key. The first half of NG+ and beyond has always bothered me as being too easy due to starting out each time with fully upgraded gear. The first half of the game is usually considered superior to the latter half, so running through it unchecked doesn't do it the justice it deserves. Take that power away and you're left with a much more difficult run worthy of the word "difficult".This won't be a complete challenge run video series as I don't have the time to commit to it, but it's meant to be a challenge to the community for those hardcore souls players that are looking for the ultimate legitimate challenge that doesn't rely on crazy gimmicks. If enough people like the idea and enjoy the video I may be persuaded to do 1 or 2 more though I can't promise any more than that. Beating Gwyn wouldn't be an issue for me, but if there is any 1 boss that you guys think would represent the ultimate challenge using this ruleset I may record the game far enough to reach him/them.
Dark Souls PTDE - Low Level, One Shot Boss Challenge - part 5 vageta311 2012-12-30 | *Note: I failed to mention it in the commentary, but the reason I killed the final gold golem later was due to not having advanced Siegmeyer's quest line. I had to go back and advance it up to the Blighttown part so that the golem would then show up.Rules of the challenge:1. Must start at SL 1.2. Must play through normally, no BB glitch or save editing.3. Must earn the right to level using the point system.- One shotting a boss gives 2 points.- Two shotting a boss gives 1 point.- One shotting a mini boss gives 1 point.- Use this list for what constitutes as a mini boss(http://darksouls.wikidot.com/bosses).- Anything that respawns does not give points for obvious reasons.- I originally took out the Giant rat and included the Berenike Knight, but for simplicity I'm switching it back. This way the mini-boss list is perfect as is and there will be no more confusion. If you already did it the other way it's fine, both are easy to kill.- Boss fights with multiple opponents allow for 1 hit on each to count for a "one shot". However you aren't allowed 2 hits on each boss for a "two shot" kill. In that situation you must still one shot at least one of them to get the point.- 4 Kings counts as a double boss, same as O&S.- Causing an enemy to fall off a cliff due to your attack counts. Purposely trying to make an enemy fall on their own does not.4. Single attacks with multiple hits count as one attack(ripostes, firestorm, homing soul mass, etc... Since "one attack challenge" sounds lame, I just called it "one shot challenge".5. When you reach a point in the game where you are stuck and can't progress due to not being able to take any of the remaining bosses down in 2 or less hits, the challenge is over.6. The goal is not necessarily to win the game, it is simply to gain the most amount of points before you cannot make any further progress. This requires a bit of strategy and forethought as opposed to pure skill.7. No you may not summon a friend to use the trident dance buff on you.

Must earn the right to level using the point system.- One shotting a boss gives 2 points.- Two shotting a boss gives 1 point.- One shotting a mini boss gives 1 point.- Use this list for what constitutes as a mini boss(http://darksouls.wikidot.com/bosses).- Anything that respawns does not give points for obvious reasons.- I originally took out the Giant rat and included the Berenike Knight, but for simplicity I'm switching it back. This way the mini-boss list is perfect as is and there will be no more confusion. If you already did it the other way it's fine, both are easy to kill.- Boss fights with multiple opponents allow for 1 hit on each to count for a "one shot". However you aren't allowed 2 hits on each boss for a "two shot" kill. In that situation you must still one shot at least one of them to get the point.- 4 Kings counts as a double boss, same as O&S.- Causing an enemy to fall off a cliff due to your attack counts. Purposely trying to make an enemy fall on their own does not.4. Single attacks with multiple hits count as one attack(ripostes, firestorm, homing soul mass, etc... Since "one attack challenge" sounds lame, I just called it "one shot challenge".5. When you reach a point in the game where you are stuck and can't progress due to not being able to take any of the remaining bosses down in 2 or less hits, the challenge is over.6. The goal is not necessarily to win the game, it is simply to gain the most amount of points before you cannot make any further progress. This requires a bit of strategy and forethought as opposed to pure skill.7. No you may not summon a friend to use the trident dance buff on you.

Dark Souls PTDE - Low Level, One Shot Boss Challenge - Part 1 vageta311 2012-12-22 | After 200 hours of Monster Hunter I decided to fire up Dark Souls and mess around a bit. I came up with a challenge that I shared with a few others and decided to make a video of it for others that might be interested in doing it as well. Here are the basic rules, though I will cover them in more detail in the actual video.Low Level One Shot ChallengeRules of the challenge:1. Must start at SL 1.2. Must play through normally, no BB glitch or save editing.3. Must earn the right to level using the point system.- One shotting a boss gives 2 points.- Two shotting a boss gives 1 point.- One shotting a mini boss gives 1 point.- Use this list for what constitutes as a mini boss(http://darksouls.wikidot.com/bosses).- Anything that respawns does not give points for obvious reasons.- I originally took out the Giant rat and included the Berenike Knight, but for simplicity I'm switching it back.

This requires a bit of strategy and forethought as opposed to pure skill.7. No you may not summon a friend to use the trident dance buff on you.The basic crux of the challenge is to earn points that enable you to level up by defeating bosses in one or two shots. Doing it in one gives you more points that will allow you to progress further than those taking the easy way out and relying on 2 shots. In order to reach the furthest possible point in the game you will have to level efficiently and not waste any points/levels for something you may not end up using later. There is a lot of planning and strategy involved in this challenge as you will have to decide when to sacrifice losing points on a boss or mini-boss in order to obtain gear to help you out later. There may be times where you can't one shot a boss or mini-boss, but need to get past them for some reason. You will have to decide whether or not to come back later and give up on the item you want, or take them down anyway and lose points that could haunt you later.If enough people are interested I can post scores in the video descriptions as well as my site.
Demons Souls - Live Commentary Playthrough - Part 12 (Final) vageta311 2012-11-03 | After a harrowing fight with the Old Monk in the previous video, today I finish up all black world/character tendency events. I had not originally planned to do the Mephistopheles quest but since people were asking for it I went ahead and did it. Afterwards I go off-screen to set my world tendencies to black and then go through them one by one taking out the NPC black phantoms. Some I had never tried killing before so a couple of the fights are a bit tense. I ended up killing one primevil demon, but realized quickly that killing either the BP or PD causes your world tendency to raise so if both of them aren't in the same part of the world then killing one screws up getting to the next one. I do show or explain where they are in each subsequent world. After all that is complete I head back into world 1-4 to take on the final boss. There is actually one more, but he doesn't really count. *** Note ***This video will be the final part of the series. It's a bit long but I decided to keep it as one instead of making 2 smaller ones. I was up late working on it so be forewarned in order to start the upload before I left for work I was unable to do my usual proof-watching to make sure everything was ok. That means there could be some rough commentary or editing in a few areas but hopefully I was able to catch everything.Website:http://vageta311.wordpress.com
Demons Souls - Live Commentary Playthrough - Part 11 vageta311 2012-11-01 | After finishing up level 3-1 in the previous video I head back to the Nexus to speak with Yuria and Sage Freke to hear what they have to say. Afterwards I spend a bit of time explaining the upgrade system in Demon's Souls as I've been asked numerous times to do so. Finally I head back into Tower of Latria to complete level 3-2 and then take on the Archdemon Old Monk in what turns out to be a rather quick fight.We're getting close to the end guys. All I have left to do is switch the worlds to pure black, which I"ll be doing off-screen, and then take on the Black Phantoms NPC's for each level as well as find and kill the primevil demons. After that it's a quick trip back through 1-4 and since there's no Dragon it will be a pretty easy boss run. I'm not sure if that will end up being all in one video, or if I'll have to break it up. Since you've already seen all the levels I may skip some of the running and just show my actual battles with the BPs and killing of the primevil demons.*** Note ***When explaining the upgrade system I mistakenly reversed the Moon and Crescent upgrade details but I later correct it in the video.Website:http://vageta311.wordpress.com
Demons Souls - Live Commentary Playthrough - Part 10 vageta311 2012-10-30 | This is the longest episode of the series to date and covers my reunion with Patches, my battle with Old King Doran and my journey through first level of the Tower of Latria. After defeating the boss I head into 3-2 just long enough to meet Yurt and grab a key made available by a pure white world tendency event. Finally I take the key back to 3-1 and release Sage Freke and Lord Rydell. I also picked up quite a few sets of armor for those that were wanting to see me wear something different.

Demons Souls - Live Commentary Playthrough - Part 9 vageta311 2012-10-29 | After some preparation I head into world 1-3 in order to save Ostrava one last time and also free a couple of new NPC's. With Biorr's help defeating the Penetrator I decide to head into 1-4 far enough to finish up Ostrava's quest and receive the mausoleum key and also take out the Blue Dragon so that I won't have to run by his fire when I come back here in the last stage of the game. I keep forgetting to put my website address in my descriptions, so here it is. http://vageta311.wordpress.com
