Dark Souls is often referred to as one of the hardest games of all time, but in reality it’s a broken mess of a game that can be easily dismantled, just by playing the game normally and by using straight edge builds.
And then there are many busted builds that completely trivialize the difficulty, as well as insane soul farming glitches and exploits. This game really only ends up being hard if you choose to progress in an underpowered state.
Somehow my Ninja Gaiden episode was longer than this one lol.

Dark Souls is really not that hard. It's an undeserved reputation
Yep, it is an experience all right. So, Elden Ring next?
When you mentioned not retro during stream I had a hunch. Great video my friend.
I love how this was a regular Debunk video right up until Ceaseless Discharge/Bed of Chaos and then even Ryu has no idea what's going on!
Why kill solaire?? :'(
My first two playthroughs I had to parry Gwyn to death. Now that I’ve beaten all the other Soulsborne games multiple times I wonder if I can take him down like Ryu did
Ryu makes dark souls looks so freakin easy 🤣
I find it quite baffling that even in Elden Ring (which came out 10 years later) they still haven't fixed the camera angles for large enemies, but still confront you with larger and larger opponents…
Dark Souls isn’t difficult it just has shitty clunky combat. Everything else is good 🤣
People always saying Dark Souls is hard and "Dark Souls difficulty," yeah, dodge rolling endlessly is really hard.
Dark Souls isn't nearly as hard as its reputation says. The difficulty happens when people rush in unprepared. This game is all about careful exploration and preparation. Get impatient? You die.
AWeWwwww!!
I thought this was going to be Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
What… is this a joke? I think you’re trolling us. 2:10 “why are people running everywhere!” 2:30 “you want to just run by everyone!” Just run! 31:05
Did they port this to NES or something?? 🙂 I died so many times to the first demon boss…
Next, debunking the difficulty of Elden Ring 2 hours of screaming
Great!
I was curious if you were ever going to do a debunking on dark souls, I’m glad you did. You are the best YouTuber ever love you bro I hope we have an infinite amount of your content
Try jumping
Lol, how to beat Dark Souls: Play the game so much that you know the combat so well that the game becomes trivial.
This didn't really debunk much other than: Play the game enough that it becomes easy.
How you dare to kill Solaire? You monster!
The last 26 seconds of this video are gold!!! Another good video! Thanks
Sir Butts XD
It's after 2:00 a.m. I really want to sleep then I see this video of my favorite game of all time and one of my favorite content creators and streamers of all time and I realize I'm not sleeping for a while longer ….
100%ing Yoshi's Island is harder than beating Dark Souls. No, I'm not Kidding. Yes, I have beaten both. Dark Souls is an incredible game and one of my all-time favorites but I've never understood why it's always been the bar for what can be considered a ridiculously hard game.
I have a friend who legitimately thought Dark Souls was the hardest game ever made. He had never even see the game before and had no idea what kind of game it was. The myth of Dark Souls' difficulty is quite strong.
Today I learned Ryu is an absolute MONSTER
Ryu, you monster….killing solaire and telling lies about him 🙁
I don't like the Zweihänder. So slow and takes so much stamina-.-
Ryu kicking the black knight off a cliff and then complaining he didn't get the drop. Dude the body fell off a cliff even if it did drop an item it's now at the bottom of a canyon.
Not sure you'll ever see this Ryu, but I think you might enjoy the Monster Hunter series. Would love to see you play it. 😀
