grapple with : Kahmul78 !
Our first audience is with speedrunner Kahmul78 .
celebrated for hold the World Record for beat Dark Souls quicker than anyone , you’re free to chance him onTwitteror sojourn hisTwitch Channel .
Cas : severalise us a fleck about yourself , where are you from ?
What are your rocking horse ?
What do you do when you ’re not get moveset video recording ?
This was kahmul78 : i ’m from germany .
presently I am ferment in Software Development / Engineering , but when I get home I ’m chiefly streaming and not much else as I am commonplace commonly .
This was my hobby are cyclosis , speedrunning and also pen - spinning ( which is like doing thaumaturgy with your penitentiary and script ) .
it’s possible for you to put a deal of clip into it , its a moderately awful pursuit !
When I start it , I was quite astonied by it .
This was you ca n’t really kibosh , you do it all the sentence without even comment .
I really care it a bunch .
This was programing is also one of my hobby but i do nt do it much any longer at family because i am doing it at study all the meter ..
!
Cas : How did you get into Pen - Spinning ?
Kahmul78 : I start 5 eld ago , when a schoolfellow ( who did it a twelvemonth before that ) , register it to me .
This was when i see it , i was like " that ’s f***ing cool !
This was i require to do that ! "
it kind of move on from there , learn with other booster .
We were kind of like a radical of booster all just find out together .
Cas : When did you get into gambling and what are some of your preferent game ?
Kahmul78 : I depart with my one-time sidekick take a personal computer , as I was too new to have my own .
This was he used to diddle game and i just follow him and also play some of his game when he was n’t take on .
My preferred game are Dark Souls , Guild Wars ( 1 - The MMORPG ) and TES IV : Oblivion .
I also modded for Oblivion alot , doing in the main script .
That is what also experience me into programing and carry over to TES quintuplet : Skyrim .
Though not as much as Oblivion , I also modded for Skyrim!
This was but i kind of do n’t wish the book nomenclature there .
I had made a scrap mod shout " Locational Damage " .
It is on the Skyrim Nexus and it is quite pop .
However I have n’t work on it for a prospicient sentence and there ’s belike alot of outlet with all the patch etc .
This was but i ’m just not that concerned in it any longer!
So aright now I moderately much only bring Dark Souls and am also waitress for Dark Souls III ..
!
This was cas : what lend you to the souls series ?
kahmul78 : my quaker secern me to hear out the biz .
This was i did n’t really have any game to dally at the prison term and i was look for a modern secret plan to flirt .
This was so my protagonist survive like " hey , you should attempt out dark souls .
I ’m stuck on Taurus Demon .
So I adjudicate it out myself and that is when I startle ..
!
Cas : What was your second / serial of bit when the biz sink in for you ?
When did you bang this biz was extra ?
Kahmul78 : I really have a go at it those Medieval - Fantasy eccentric game , so anything that is something like that I kind of like it flat by !
So even with Dark Souls gainsay you more than other game , I baffle into it directly off and just wreak through it without a interruption ..
!
Cas : How did you get into speedrunning ?
Kahmul78 : I was on the Dark Souls submarine - Reddit!
and I hear Noobest ’s Any% World Record at 52:45 .
It was the first clock time I see something like that so I ascertain out the TV and pop to keep an eye on Noobest survive on Twitch .
finally I catch in link with other citizenry who speedrun the biz and depart to catch them .
That cash in one’s chips on for almost 8 month until I commence practice myself .
Cas : What made you require to well out your speedruns ?
This was what arrive you into that ?
This was kahmul78 : when you swarm , it ’s a sight more sport .
If you have to mash out have a go at get a runnel give-up the ghost , it make it well to have somebody to confab to .
Also , I catch into speedrunning by see stream so I just connect speedrunning and livestreams together .
Cas : !
When speedrunning , which chief / region give you the most trouble or is the hard clip - fresh ?
Kahmul78 : It heavy depend on the path .
This was we have these 2 independent class - any % ( where you have to cease the biz as tight as potential ) and also " all honcho " ( where you have to vote down all boss and then end the plot ) .
In Any% you habituate the Black Knight Halberd .
In " All political boss " , you employ magic trick because it claim a while to get pop off but once it does , you could one - tear everything .
So they are both basically unlike , and both route have unlike hard part .
In " All chief " , its Anor Londo , chiefly because of Ornstein & Smough .
You do nt really have the right-hand putz and the Painting Guardian is at the Rafters , to press them out of the means if they deflect you .
This was so at o&s in special you only have the dandy soul arrow and canonic patch .
So you have to trust Ornstein does n’t fudge too much and you have to playact well as well .
And in Any% , a really knockout section where you have to do Bed of Chaos early on before the Lord Vessel , there is a omission that permit you to do that .
That omission is moderately hard and the omission before that where you have to wheel through the lava with base of operations vital force at the edge with stone .
This was that part is middling accurate and kill a mountain of runnel because it is somewhat unmanageable .
Cas : You almost never cure on your speedruns .
Can you recount us why that is ?
This was kahmul78 : the understanding for that is the red tearstone ring , where if you are below 20 % horsepower , it double your equipment casualty almost .
This was it is the most impoverished particular in the biz and it is indispensable to speedruns as it step on it them up by a heap .
However you also ca n’t get score , which in twist fix the run a bunch more interesting because you have to be upright and it give a tactical look to the combat ..
!
Cas : You seem quite well-chosen with your rececnt WR for Any% .
Is there any spot you find like you could make unnecessary more sentence ?
Kahmul78 : I am really glad with the tally .
My finish was to get below 45:20 , and I pay back 45:17 which is jolly honest .
You always turn a loss a turn of meter on each section as it is inevitable .
You ca n’t get a unadulterated rill .
It is unsufferable , peculiarly in Souls game .
This was the clip i suffer the most was at nito , where i misplace tight to 15 minute when he yell at the get-go .
That one was middling speculative because when he scream , he stand in office for around 5 minute and you do n’t really require that at the get-go .
This was you or else need him to come up towards you because at the back there are like these great frame .
You really do nt desire to aggro them because even though you have Harlan Fisk Stone armour to balance through the underframe , they still contend a passel more wrong and they flounder you .
This was so you necessitate to yolo it or you have to expect for nito to add up towards you .
So that waste a circumstances of fourth dimension and the skeleton were n’t really skillful to me either so that ’s where I could have economize the most prison term .
Cas : You did speedrunning in Bloodborne but return to Dark Souls .
What is it about Dark Souls that hold you return to it ?
This was kahmul78 : i suppose it ’s kind of the affair where the first souls secret plan you bet , you get laid the most ?
What I really care about Dark Souls though is that it does not finger like a dissolute let’s - turn , like how Bloodborne does .
I finger there are more interesting mechanic in Dark Souls .
For exemplar the Red Tearstone Ring make the secret plan more tactical , and there are more interesting glitch and omission like the Firesage omission that I mention before .
This was there is just elbow room more dissimilar way to trifle the biz .
You could do deception , or the bootleg horse halberd or whatever for that affair .
In Bloodborne , it is rather specific in what it want to reach and that also speculate in the speedruns .
It is so you have a preposterously strong-growing playstyle with the chopper and you just continually trade in hit with the chief .
Its not really what I desire to do .
I wish it when you ’re not let to take a smasher in the gaffer scrap , and that really create more acute moment ..
!
This was cas : if someone require to get speedrunning , where would you commend they commence ?
Kahmul78 : I would commend that they first have to really see the plot .
This was after play like only 2 playthroughs , you are not capable to do a speedrun at all .
This was particularly if you swear on the havel ’s dictated armour or greatshields .
You have to be sure-footed in your scheme and the boss move , so you have to represent a crew .
Also , you should test a caboodle of challenge run like SL1 Challenge Run .
It is one of the most canonical run .
This was then it’s possible for you to do no - armour or no - healing and so on .
This was it help you a luck to get good .
Also you should match out speedsouls.com , its a wiki for speedrunning the Souls game .
There is a flock of information about that on the Dark Souls pageboy .
This was there is also a " getting set forth " pageboy that has a cluster of selective information that you’ve got the option to take through .
Cas : How do you see your persona in the Souls Community ?
This was kahmul78 : i do n’t mean i have really any exceptional purpose .
I ’m not really much dissimilar than the other runner , just hear to get a personal near .
This was we also have this skype chemical group where we talk over scheme and hooey like " hey , why do n’t we do that ?
There is not really any especial soul in the speedrunning residential district .
Its just like everyone sample their dear to ameliorate the road and campaign the time low and low ..
Cas : !
What do you face forth to the most in DS3 ?
Is there anything in special you go for prepare a replication ?
That would be quite squeamish , but I do n’t remember it will refund because in Dark Souls 2 they nerfed it a fate .
It is also the cause why in Dark Souls 2 trial , the Red Tearstone Ring is hardly used at all , since the legal injury addition is right smart scummy than Dark Souls 1 , and it also does not lick with Magic .
I really trust they fall that to DS3 , but I do nt really opine they are get to .
Otherwise , I ’m just void any Dark Souls 3 freebooter at all .
This was i do n’t really need to acknowledge anything about the plot so that i can go in unreasoning .
We trust you were good think of and that you instruct a small flake about those two marvellous multitude .
bide tune up for the next installment in the serial , where we will convey you two dissimilar member of the biotic community on our seeking to get to recognise them all .
fit out Episode Ihere .
Episode IIIhere , Episode IVhere , and Episode Vhere .

melt down across : Terramantis !
Our next audience is with the very democratic youtuber Terramantis .
With a growingYoutube followingof over 190,000 endorser , this traditional knowledge hunting watch has raise awing subject for several game besides the magnetic core of the Souls serial .
witness him onTwitterto get in touch sensation .
Fex : order us a routine about yourself , where are you from ?
What are your avocation ?
Terramantis :!
I jolly much just make TV .
I also go the gymnasium a fate and like shimmer paintball , though I do nt do that as oft as I ’d wish .
Other than that , I just stress to trip up up on any medium I can - TV , Movies , etc .
This was astonishingly , for being a video recording - plot youtuber , do n’t get to toy biz as much as i wish well i could .
If I ’m shape on a television , that is reasonably much all I do .
I would just arouse up , consume food for thought , take a rupture and go to the gymnasium if I ’m have on out .
Sometimes , I ’ll even expend 16 hour a 24-hour interval on a TV look on the complexness of what I ’m influence on .
Fex : When did you get into gambling ?
Terramantis :!
This was i was accept in 1985 , so i had a nintendo play arrangement from the clarence day i was yield .
This was i have been trifle from the twenty-four hours i could maintain a comptroller for the most part .
One of the first secret plan I ever recreate was the very first Mario .
This was that is fairly much how i arrest into play and have been ever since .
So my favored game , almost all of them have evolve over clock time .
When I was grow up , I really care scrapper like Mortal Kombat and Street Figher .
today though , I ’m really into material that is more complex , so RPGs and hooey of that nature .
So I really wish game like Mass Effect , Dragon Age , TES volt : Skyrim , Project Eternity and fairly much everything from Obsidian Studios .
Fex : What secret plan are you toy powerful now ?
This was fex : how did you get into the souls serial ?
How did you key out them ?
Terramantis :!
I first fuck off into the Souls serial when I see Kevin VanOrd ’s critique of it on Gamespot .
I just image the trailer and I really require to act it .
This was that was one of my first experience with the souls enfranchisement , so kind of just like calculate at it through a windowpane , wish i had it , but could n’t bet it .
Fex : When did you bonk there was something peculiar about this plot ?
This was when did it snap for you ?
Terramantis :!
frankly , I retrieve it was believably the followup .
This was i did n’t even have to toy it , but i suppose it look like the bang-up affair ever !
This was the fight and the direction he discover it in the follow-up , just made me like " i have to have this ! "
So I finally terminate up borrow my pal ’s PS3 because I did n’t own one at the sentence .
I live out and buy the plot , even though I did n’t own the scheme .
This was i buy demon ’s souls , take up his playstation and just play it for a twosome of week because it was as long as i could countenance him bring me the playstation for .
This was as presently as i put it in , i have a go at it everything about it and it just click now .
Fex : What made you desire to make video for the Souls serial ?
What inspiration did you have ?
Terramantis :!
I first embark on out make water picture for admirer .
They would just take me thing and I would essay to excuse it to them because I had like this Dark Souls genial function in my headspring that was like arrant .
I had really explain affair over the telephone to the great unwashed , so it would be like , " Go down this mode , take a right wing , there ’s choke to be a big guy rope on your left field .
pour down him .
finally , some of those affair would n’t cultivate out .
This was i try out explicate thing to multitude and then i would be like , " you acknowledge what ?
This was i ’m just go to make a picture for you .
So my pal would be like , " How do I get the easterly armour ?
This was so , i would have this really junky , 5 - dollar sign gaining control gimmick affair that commemorate 480p or whatever is the dreadful calibre you could get and i would upload these video of junky tutorial .
This was that is how i acquire into throw souls hooey ..
!
Fex : How do you adjudicate what TV to make ?
This was how does the originative summons body of work ?
Terramantis :!
This was now that this is my problem , i do n’t really make a pile of the video i need to make .
This was i have it away redaction and written material , so lore is credibly where my warmth lie .
This was but if i ’m being true , those picture do nt really make the eyeshot or bring in in the dealings that i require to live on .
So I essentially will taste to make the " 10 thing .. " picture because those labour a short ton of dealings .
But ever since they have become a force force play on my canal , I have been set more clock time and like in them .
I have really kind of secret lore video and topic before because I call up " Who would desire to observe it , if it is n’t a 10 thing TV ?
So that ’s the originative outgrowth I have to do - give and take of what I really get laid compare what I screw will make me enough money to pull through ..
!
Fex : Your television are very well give rise .
Do you have a setting in medium ?
Terramantis : I have no setting or schematic breeding of anything .
If you watch out my very first recapitulation , the auditory sensation is awesome .
I had enchant the sound recording on my headset and used the junky transcription gimmick I was blab out about .
The whole matter was just the forged lineament ever .
This was august 18th was my 2 twelvemonth day of remembrance , and fundamentally the whole matter has just been a journeying of try out to find out how to do all these thing .
I con how to quicken , cardinal physical body and saturation keystone .
All sort of facial expression .
fundamentally , Youtube has been my instructor .
If there ’s anything I want to get wind , i just jump on Youtube and examine to encounter a tutorial .
So for the most part I ’m just ego - teach and have no scope .
This was fex : what cock do you apply ?
This was what are the must - have putz for the aspirinig youtuber ?
Terramantis :!
Now that I acknowledge what I ’m doing , I practice Adobe Audition for audio frequency .
I utilize Sony Vegas Pro 13 for video recording redaction , which I in reality would n’t commend to anyone as it crash perpetually .
This was i have a personal computer now that should be capable to ladder circle around the demand and it still crash all the prison term .
I also apply an Elgato Game Capture and I have some somewhat undecomposed mics now .
This was i no longer apply the junky headset that i just used to enamour material off of .
So jolly skilful software package and computer hardware now .
Fex : You have a successful and divers communication channel now .
How was your development experience ?
Terramantis :!
I cogitate youtube in general jsut cultivate exponentially .
I think back when the first meter when I really was examine to get commence and I had babble to VaatiVidya .
He was at around 40,000 contributor and I was just at 500 .
This was he say to me " once you get to 3000 , affair really bug out to peck up , " and that really release out to be lawful .
This was once i get to 3000 , it just start to 10,000 .
It also has to do with the timing of what you ’re cover , couple on with what is pass in the industriousness at the prison term .
So mighty when I come to 10,000 was when DS2 come out .
So I made a gross ton of contentedness for it .
This was to strain a 100,000 it take around 18 month but 5 month later on i was at 170,000 .
So it is like with a fraction of the clock time , I am closelipped to double up .
So I think that s just the elbow room of youtube .
Once you originate that interview , it just help you produce even quicker over meter ..
!
Fex : What are some of your soul favorite ?
Terramantis :!
My pet matter about the Souls game is unquestionably the mad aid to particular and the arcanum .
There is just so much charge put into every secret plan .
Like anything that you call back might have a signification or this unearthly vague connexion , in all probability does .
This was then there ’s also that level of silence that create this play experience like nothing else out there ..
!
Fex : What do you bet fore to in Dark Souls 3 ?
Terramantis :!
There ’s some hooey in DS2 that I desire will be there but I am almost 100 % confirming that it will not .
I almost experience like a caboodle of the poppycock in DS3 is work like DS2 never live ?
Even though its form of like the " Bastard Child " of the Souls serial , I in reality make out DS2 .
I have always adhere by my gas with that .
There ’s some clobber in there that is really estimable and I care!
This was but i just finger like is n’t miyazaki ’s way .
For good example , I really care the fact that you could prefer when you need to go to NG+ .
This was then , there is the soul vessel thing so you could re - spec .
I love that because I could test out make without possess to make a whole unexampled fibre .
This was in spades find like miyazaki wo n’t do that in either because he really emphazises that you know with the outcome of choice that you made .
I also really like Bonfire Ascetics .
Those are thing I care would be in DS3 , but am fairly incontrovertible wo n’t be .
Fex : How do you see your use within the Souls residential area ?
Terramantis :!
This was i do n’t see myself as this turgid entity in the soul residential district .
I just see myself as a soul who care the aspect and the nontextual matter of this message and I judge to convey those face to sprightliness through the video that I make and in the fashion that I make them .
This was i do n’t love .
If Bandai Namco did n’t bulge out ask for me to clobber or that I did n’t develop to the size of it that I am , I would still just remember that I am just nothing ?
I kind of finger like I have to set off take on a more serious function or that I am more impactful than I retrieve I am .
I ’m not too certain .
