    Power Within was grayed out because you still had the effect from the transient curse. They're both counted as "body buffs" so you can't have both at the same time.

    Bruh during my first play through I thought this is my actual weapon and I remember I had to riposte like 5 times to kill a hollow, and I was like “damn dark souls IS hard”

    Here's my tip to beating hilt only run in dark souls: Pick thief class and master key, somehow manage to kill queelag and gargoyles to spawn Domhnall of Zena to buy the third master key and now that you have the master hey trifecta, open the portal to the nether.

    I just started playing Dark Souls recently and I love all of the fairly recent content that’s being made on the game. The community puts so much work into videos like this and it’s truly commendable. My only hope is that you and channels like you get the recognition you guys deserve.

    So what I'm hearing is that you turned the straight sword hilt into a hilariously short lightsaber. Nice.

    Once, I was starting a Dexterity build in DSR. I went straight for the Tomb of Giants to get the Great Scythe, dropped too far down, and thought, 'hm, why not fight the boss?' And that's the story of how I died to Pinwheel.

    Did a Hilt run once because my friend said it couldn't be done. Used a Lightning upgrade for most of the game. Early game was hard but because there was no scaling I ended up dumping in Vit and End way past the softcap and became the tankiest build I ever made. Low stamina costs meant I would just sit there mashing R1 while taking every hit. A bit ridiculous but at least the seven kings could barely damage me. Never got past Gwyn though.

    I am sure you have already figured this out but for those who don't know. The developers absolutely intended for players to use the ledges to get to the Pinwheel boss fight. This is clearly seen but the fact there is a npc summon for Pinwheel located on one of the ledges.
