We\u2019ve all seen those videos from so-called games journalists talking about quote unquote accessibility.  Instead, in this video I want to put those arguments to the test by seeing if my own sub par gaming skills were enough to beat Dark Souls Remastered.  Because if I can beat Dark Souls, then just about anyone should be able to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>BECOME A CHANNEL MEMBER<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCiG8OfmqcSlydMluaEfkHgQ\/join<\/p>\n<p>DONATE TO BIG DAN<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/streamelements.com\/bigdangaming\/tip<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m terrible at games with melee combat, particularly ones with punishing damage outputs and short windows to heal.  Hell, I struggle with the Witcher 3 unless I\u2019m playing on the lowest difficulty.  And that\u2019s not even that hard of a game.  So surely I would need an easy mode to beat Dark Souls, right?!<\/p>\n<p>But despite the game\u2019s difficulty, there are ways to make it easier, without having an easy mode in the menu.  Things like NPC summons, farming upgrade materials, overleveling, following online guides, and sometimes even cheesing enemies to get through the game.  For this playthrough, I held nothing back &#8211; no tactics were considered off-limits.  I wanted to see if I could beat Dark Souls without the need for an easy mode.<\/p>\n<p>SUBSCRIBE TO BIG DAN CLIPS<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCdAhQ6Sfpu8Kx2Vj3cb5xsw<\/p>\n<p>FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bigdangaming\/<\/p>\n<p>FOLLOW ME ON TIKTOK<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/tiktok.com\/@bigdanhere<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before you smash the dislike button or start writing an angry comment, this is not going to be a video arguing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":346271,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[171033,171035,171036,212,98780,171039,171037,171034,171038,171040,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-346270","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rpg","8":"tag-big-dan-gaming","9":"tag-can-a-trash-gamer-beat-dark-souls","10":"tag-can-you-beat-dark-souls-without-being-good","11":"tag-dark-souls","12":"tag-dark-souls-easy-mode","13":"tag-dark-souls-easy-mode-debate","14":"tag-dark-souls-needs-an-easy-mode","15":"tag-dark-souls-trash-gamer","16":"tag-elden-ring-easy-mode","17":"tag-funny-dark-souls","18":"tag-rpg"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=346270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/346271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=346270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=346270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
