Not really true. Short Version + Show Spoiler + You need to A: talk to ancient dragon and get his item. B: Go to giants memory and kill him for his item, and C: go to throne of Want and kill Throne buddies and Nash. Long Version + Show Spoiler + You airwalk over the statue you need the branch for. You airwalk over aldia's keep gate (airwalk + launch) You airwalk past guardian dragon You souldupe enough souls to use giants tooth. You airwalk to giants memory. You airwalk over shrine of winter. You airwalk from outside of draglic castle to throne of want Thats the run >.> Thats basically the speedrun right now... | ||

There are different categories for speedrunning; I'm not sure if they are fully developed for DS2 yet, but usually there is an "any%" category for completing the game as fast as possible any tactics allowed, a "100% or full boss clear" similar to the previous category but doing all content, and "glitchless", which could be any% or 100% but which intentionally doesn't use skips,speed glitches, stuff like that. People like the any% ones because doing something in the fastest way possible, no restrictions can be fun. But if you think the bug/glitch way is cheesy/not interesting, there are other categories that can be considered more "legit". Don't know why you need to hate speedruns tho, people just playing the game, fast, for fun! | ||

There's this really amazing competitive game where everyone abuses game-bugs. You might have heard of it, it's called STARCRAFT BROOD WAR. | ||

Some people don't like bugs/glitches being used in speedruns. Some people are fine with it. There is no reason to come in here and just just spew hate about it one way or another. Just let it go and talk about Dark Souls. | ||

And you guys complaining about glitches in speedruns are dumb. Sometimes game's have silly speed runs (see: pokemon gold, TES Oblivion, and now DS2) and sometimes speedruns with glitches are about a million times harder than the actual game (see: portal, zelda games). Not to mention, as everyone has already said, there are separate records for no-glitch and 100% runs so if a glitched any% run does become nonsensical the community just moves on to 100% or no-glitch any%. Stop acting like if the speedrunners had to do it the "legit" way they'd have trouble or something. Yeah, people who know every boss inside and out are definitely gonna struggle with an additional 300k souls than they normally have, let's make things easier that'll be fun to watch. | ||
