A fascinating story about how an underdog shocked the speedrunning world…

Today we cover how the Dark Souls (Prepare to Die Edition) All Bosses speedrun world record managed to be pushed down by over 3 minutes in just 12 months including both strategic changes as well as the thrilling race between the world’s top players for the historic first ever sub 1 hour run. After a rich decade of the game’s speedrunning history, this feat just happened. I really hope you enjoy.

SpeciaI thanks to rythin and Cadarev for providing valuable feedback, alongside Nordgaren who helped me rebuild NPC models in Blender ❤️.

  1. Watching these speedrunners just smash through bosses, some of which took me hours on my first playthrough(Knight Artorias has entered the chat) is fucking hilarious to me. Absolute mad men, the lot of you!

    Congrats to Maarionete!

  2. VAI BRASIL NUMERO 1 BRASIL PORRA CAMPEÃO DO MUNDO 🏆🎖🎖🏆🏅

  3. Your speedrun documentaries are my favorite type of content on the internet and this was another high quality, perfectly produced video.

    Congratulations to Mario 🎊
    That was such a fantastic run (see what I did there?…..I praised the run……bye)

  4. I don't care how good his speed runs are, I'm not respecting someone who uses an anime girl virtual stream avatar.

  5. Dude I could beat dark souls 1 glitchless and no bosses in sub 1 sec I just CHOOSE to let others be happy and have fun

  6. Your record means nothing. You win nothing. No money no prize just the fact that you get to say you did it.

  7. I'd genuinely think that the bkgs would be better than the dragon tooth because of how much str you need versus the damage per hit, glad to learn

  8. Any records with glitches should not count. This is total BS

  9. This is HUUUUUGEEEEE. When a Brazilian make history… Isso me enche de motivos para comemorar! ❤️

  10. It's insane that a 10 year old game still has such an active speed run community that is still breaking world records and finding new things. Most old games these days are all just competing for that 1 in a million golden run but here's Dark Souls still in it's prime of speed runs.

  11. A Brazilian VTuber Physicist Speedrunning Dark Souls (All Bosses) Achieves World Record. What a sentence!

  12. Cool as this all is, I don't find it all that impressive.

    The glitches and the bug exploits are a part of speed running that always just takes away from its impressiveness of it.
