Don't know if you've seen it on kotaku but it's pretty crazy. I'm playing through it now and I'm loving it, but the time it took for me to reach the first boss this guy beat the whole game! This guy makes the enemies in the game look like a joke just running past everyone and killing the bosses within a minute.  Sure he skips a lot of the game and fights but this is a speed run of the game from start to finish that he or she impressively completes.

Cool stuff, though --the following segment has been removed because it was hella wrong--

Give that man a Nobel Peace Prize! 
Watching that makes me hate Demon's Souls a lot less.

This, was, amazing.

#9 Posted by trophyhunter (5804 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

It's not really quite that amazing, anyone one that's beaten demon's souls once can zip through really fast.
On my 2nd play through I beat it in 3 hours.

#11 Posted by thehexeditor (1404 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

this is no exception

@Ahmad_Metallic: 
 
It took 40 hours for me... This is some ridiculous speed there...
#13 Posted by swamplord666 (1743 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

omg! the game can be finished in less than an hour! BS! 
also i'm kicking myself at not having thought about running past the more annoying monsters :/

#14 Posted by Diamond (8634 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I spent more than an hour being lost in 3-1 alone.

#15 Posted by benjaebe (2782 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

That's fucking brilliant. Props to him/her.

#16 Posted by Glak (613 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

This is goddamn crazy 
Mad props to whoever did this

#17 Posted by Karkarov (1935 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Uh what was his total time?  I know a guy did it in around 32 minutes.  Once you are good at the game it isn't that big a deal you just have to know the short cuts and which enemies you can dodge and which you can't.

#18 Posted by arab_prince (2046 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

This is disgusting. What a dick :(

#19 Posted by fentonalpha (812 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I beat Demon Souls in 10 mins.... with a HAMMER! Frickin game!

#20 Edited by Killroycantkill (1329 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Watching these videos reminded me how much I love all the sounds in Demons Souls. Man that soundtrack is so good.
 
Edit: HOLY CRAP, You can dodge the arrow machine.... FFFFUUUU~~~~~ AND THAT SHORTCUT IN WORLD 3!!!! GOD DAMNIT THIS IS AMAZING? *Jizzed in my pants*

A game that took me 30 hours to complete, and he completed it in one. 
Makes me want to play Demon's Souls again.

#22 Posted by AndrewB (6919 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

It's a little depressing that you can run past most of the enemies. That'll ruin me if I ever get the chance to play this game.

#23 Posted by TwoOneFive (9457 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

fucking genius. he deserves an award. he ran right past everything lmao

#24 Posted by animateria (3250 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago
@AndrewB: 
 
Well you can try what he tried all you want... I guarantee that you'll die in the process more often than not.

This is mastery at work.

#26 Posted by LiquidPrince (14745 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Crazy confirmed.

You're calling him a dick for beating the game in under an hour?
#28 Posted by Nunchuckles (195 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Wow, just absolutely wow.

The game really isn't as hard as people say.  That being said, HOLY SHIT!

This. The game really isn't that difficult if you're patient. Just don't expect the game to be hack n slash, and it's really not that hard.
#32 Posted by GoofyGoober (936 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

That is fucking nuts. I thought my buddy who got a plat in the game in 13 days was crazy.

#33 Posted by DeadManRollin (67 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Well, this does show some sort of skills on the players part, but games are not meant to be played like this. This is why you had invisible walls in older games whereby you can't move on to the next area without killing everyone and everything in the current area
#34 Posted by raidingkvatch (1130 posts) - 2 years, 7 months ago

Firstly I can't decide whether that's depressing or awesome, possibly both. Secondly, thanks for reminding me I need to go back to Demon's Souls at some point.

#35 Edited by Aetheldod (2514 posts) - 2 years, 7 months ago

WTF????? .... but in some parts he /she clearly had some prepared saves ... kinda beats the whole thing , not that this gamers mad skillz is incredible , I wouldnt even dare to try it .... Im not that good and I am way too methodical and slow when I play this game ( plus I love killing everything that moves )

#36 Posted by Gamer_152 (13341 posts) - 2 years, 7 months ago

I didn't even know that was possible. This is amazing!

Yep. It was a joke to show my jealousy.
#39 Posted by Turambar (5741 posts) - 2 years, 7 months ago

He took down 4-3 without the Storm bringer.  What the fuck man.  What the fuck.

He had that short sword you get from Freke that greatly boosts magic damage.  That and he just pumped every point into magic as well.
#41 Posted by FunExplosions (5407 posts) - 2 years, 7 months ago

Dammit. This pisses me off. Now my attempt at this will be way lamer. Haven't seen anyone else beat it without upgrading or leveling, though. 
 
...Good for him, I guess :(

#42 Posted by metalsnakezero (2097 posts) - 2 years, 7 months ago

Dude got skills!

#43 Posted by iGaboru (215 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Wow, I just saw the whole speed run and damn is that player good! I myself have used many of the shortcuts and techniques displayed. However, the cold blood portrayed while fighting some of the most dangerous bosses is astonishing.

I played half the game before figuring out what the "monumental" was all about. I knew the game was hard.. so I didn't really think about it. Started reading about people talking about SL121 and SL173 etc.. and thought maybe I had to just build up a bank of souls to get stronger. : /  Figured it out... eventually  : /
 
On topic though.. because I've probably spent over 75 hours in my first playthrough (and still not done) i'm pretty sure I could rip through this game pretty quickly.. just from playing levels over, and over, and over... (because of above said situation)
