Like a persistent rodeo rider, I’m back on my bull. You know how this one goes – can you beat Dark Souls 3… normally? I’m sure this will be a perfectly standard run where nothing out of the ordinary happens, right? Right?
All glitches/skips/exploits performed on a PS5 on current patch. Thanks to my good friend Suits for help with the teardrop glitch. Please like and sub for more fromsoft content! Read on for more info… you know you want to

A big shout has to obviously go out to all the talented players who originally discovered or publicised some of these glitches/exploits. I don’t claim to know who the originators of every one of these tricks is, but here are some of the research materials I used:
The most comprehensive video out there is Phobia’s excellent compilation of DS3 glitches on current patch, which covers a lot of the content here including millwood greatbow, abyss and gundyr freezes, pontiff teardrop skip, siegward titanite dupe and more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3_Jo4R7VYg
Ray Dhimitri has a compilation of boss cheese kills which is where I found the greatwood firebombs strat, so thanks for making my life a misery with that one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65NzejrfLnQ
set-up for the sage skip is shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9owSEtf0zc4
There are two different set ups for the Vordt skip, depending on whether you’re playing on 30 or 60 fps
30 FPS set up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DX10mmCius
60 FPS set up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_In2dfiw-4
Assault millwood greatbow set up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0i59x_lolc
this is where I first saw the head spear throw weapon-swap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9FtYQZDx2g

Nothing to see here, carry on
9:33 the buck bumble theme is unironically one of the best game themes ever made. Thank you baron for reminding me of this masterpeice
I would unironically love to watch you do a stardew valley challenge run
The music on this is incredible, the singer must be a totally normal guy who happens to have a huge K.O
I love whenever you mention Andre.
But also: very relatable. Andre is the actual Dark Souls bae.
thank you for the tutorial, i was stuck on index girder for about 15 hours but finally got past with your strategy! going to follow this guide religiously for the rest of my playthrough
Yhorming song is amazing!
Still dying to know how people ever figured out shit like the vordt skip
ah yeah i played like this my first time
that Yhorm song is amazing 🤣
I love the songs you make for the bosses so much its really cool
This is how I learn vow of silence works on Aldrich?
doki doki in the background always makes me smile then cringe from the nightmare glitch lover
How am i still learning new things about this game
The Yhorm song was so good! Now I can only fight him with a dagger out of respect
Love seeing another perfectly normal run, really goes to show how normally you can beat these games!
(The deacons flying into the air had to be one of my favorite bits, it’s so ridiculous looking)
I feel like a normal now 🙁
Yhorm the giant on par with banana egg head lady
The Yhorm song was an absolute masterpiece, thank you sir
wow, someone else who played buck bumble growing up
Microsoft Outlook notification sound gave me a fucking heart attack, I thought the chief was asking for me to give him a list of perps
God hath spoken! Praise be Baron!

absolutly normal. loved it. 10/10 want more normal playthroughs
Man, can you imagine how hard Yhorm would have been without a super effective weapon like the handmaid's dagger?
Next you should do a N͔͔̥̺̞̿͊̇o͙͙̙̘̙ͤͫ͞ṛ̣̬̫̍͌ͩ͟m̰̰̹͚̙̂ͦ͗͠a͔͔̜̗̦ͩ̅̎l͖͖̰ͭ̀͘ play through of dark souls 1. There are a lot more fun and normal strategies to showcase in that game than dark souls 3. Keep up the good work 😀
As a normal person, This is the normal Ever. Of all time.
You can also cheese him using the crystal lizard by doing what u did but dragging it to the fog wall. Really only good for “miracle only” or somthin else run but still
The most normal thing in this run is the abomination you made in the character creator.
Did you actually play Dark Souls if the abhorrent spawn you generated has any semblance of humanity left in it? No. No you didn't.
Sooo many new bugs I didn't know about. So good!
Worth the wait, love u mate
36:45 the song is: Bayonetta- Fly me to the Moon[Climax].
I'm not letting this end like the poison only run where I asked for assistance on finding a song and got jack shit in return.
