What Happens if You Max Out Your Character in Dark Souls on the First Playthrough?

I used a save editor in Dark Souls to max out my stats to see how far I could get into the first playthough until the game started to resist and become harder... It didn't take long.

I actually enjoyed this more than the usual challenge.

I hope you guys love the video thank you so much for sticking with me. Cheers.

I like that you are not invincible even at the highest level, its just about skill

[yugimuto]

I truly respect fact you saved Young Sif before fighting the present one

[seva]

I like how you ended the Gwyn fight with counter parry.

[mysteriousstranger]

My personal theory is that this mad lad actually spent the last decade getting to max level from the asylum and was too embarrassed to admit it

[Havoc_]

I love how power is actually restrained by weapon level rather than character level

[WalrusGobble]

I love how the Bed of Chaos didn't care about max level. SL 1 or SL 711, dude just wants to knock you off.

[waltuh]

I used the bug of getting millions of souls in the Remastered for my videos and I actually got surprised that the weapons didn't actually did that much damage untill I upgraded them

[zxb]

I passed the game years ago and tried this for a second playthrough. I quickly found out that levels dont help much. They increase your defensive stats more than anything so boss fights are more forgiving and you get a little bit extra damage but thats all. The game is still quite a challenge.

[southernhillscreative]

Now the enemies are playing dark souls.

[michaelwerkov]

I love that the artorias fight looked like it was still totally loseable.

[superhappyfunguy]

Saving Solaire is the true heroism of this run.

[Ghost_gc]

You know a game's difficulty is just right when it remains difficult after putting cheats.

[manowand]

That 2dmg on First Boss breake me. I was waiting a minimum of 200 for a 700+ lvl.

[RsBanez]

I can't believe Pinwheel still takes the same amount of hits at that level what a legend.

[dalinbascom]

Him: maxes out stats and level but still uses summons.
Us: "A man of culture, I see."

[vegetitesmith]

I can only imagine the damage output with all stats maxed and running a glass cannon build.

[loc]

How many flask does it take to refill your health? This also goes to show that stats alone don't do THAT much you need stats AND weapon upgrades LOL. Nice to know how challenging this masterpiece still is. I just finished 200 hrs of ER, put in DS1 and couldn't stop smiling for 2 hours.

[michaelwerkov]

God damn. Elden Ring was great... but watching this quick overview of the whole game makes me remember how ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE IT WAS.

That fucking firelink music... the most lonely and forlorn ive ever heard. The feeling watching the cutscene as the bells are rung. The first view of anor londo... (and then when you finally start understanding the lore and the connected world as a whole... your first re-view of the iron gollum arena and the caved in path to anor londo and dying to know what that passage is like.

[imatoucan]

Okay. To everyone who keeps asking 'why didn't you use this, or that?' I used my regular loadout.

Thanks :)

Respect: ?/100
He killed Manus with small good girl Sif then had to kill good girl Sif then felt bad so he used good girl Sif's weapon for the rest of the game.
So Respect: 100/100
