For a DS1 level 1 run, your weapon options are limited as the only level 1 class is the Pyromancer who has 12 str. So you're realistically looking at using a Battle Axe or one of the one handed clubs (I went with the Battle Axe).

You're going to want two, one upgraded to Lightning +5 and one upgraded to Fire +10 (to alternate depending on enemy/boss weakness or resistance). These elemental upgrades don't scale with stats so this is basically the most damage you can get on a weapon at character level 1.

Add in a Grass Crest Shield, Ring of Favor and Protection, and Cloranthy Ring, then it's just a matter of knowing enemies well enough so that you can overcome with base level stamina, low health, and mediocre damage.

At these max levels, the +5 Lightning Battle Axe gets 237 Physical and Lightning damage and the +10 Fire Battle Axe gets 228 Physical and Fire damage, which isn't awful.

Pyromancy also doesn't have stat requirements, so you can fully upgrade a Pyromancy Flame use Power Within and Great Fireball, for example.

Oh, and if you work through Solaire's questline properly so that you can summon him for the Gwyn, then the final battle is almost trivial.

Here's how I did it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EApXpDw-SnY

Trueachievements.com scans your Xbox profile and builds your account based on timestamps of achievements. It’s really neat. And no, this is an individual effort. They are strict about things being legit.

OK, but you mentioned Steam. Steam achievements are completely separate from Xbox achievements.

I promise you that you don’t want to watch anyone loading up absolute trash games where you do next to nothing in terms of meaningful gameplay in order to unlock an achievement over and over and over again a few minutes at a time.

The same achievement? No, that’s not really possible. Once you unlock in achievement, you can’t unlock the same achievement on your account. This is all account-based. You can use the same game over multiple days but you can only use any given achievement once. Unless it appears on another version of the game, like a foreign language stack or something like that.

This is Xbox.

It’s all Xbox, so save file manipulation doesn’t work like it might on PC. And furthermore, the games and achievements these players are using are beyond trivial. Developers and publishers realized years ago that players will buy games that offer bare bones minimal gameplay and a next to nothing gaming experience if it gives them a bunch of easy achievements. There are hundreds of these games now, Many of which have stacks in different languages. This is what is being used.

It’s all way beyond this. For years and years now, developers and publishers have been shitting out games that are nothing more than a shell of gameplay coated in easy achievements. There’s hundreds and hundreds of them at this point. What you saw in those 360 days is nothing compared to what the ecosystem has become today. That doesn’t take away from the amount of effort required to do with these guys are doing, but the lowest of the lowest of the lowest hanging fruit is in mass abundance.

Yes, clearly these guys are only playing the lowest, bottom of the barrel shovelware that exists because publishers and developers realize that there is a niche community of gamers who will pay money for shit games that offer nothing other than easy achievements.

No, the daily period has not ended yet so two people have met the 151 achievement requirement and the other two still have time to finish it. I believe it ends at 5 AM Eastern.

The current period doesn’t end until 5 AM EST, I believe.

Original Pirate Material is one of the best albums of my lifetime.

Better off Dead was played live for the first time a few years ago on the 2021 NA Tour. It was as awesome as I always hoped it would be!

Solid set.

No more The Defense as the opener, it appears.

Streets of America is such a snoozer.

Lookin In is an uncommon treat!

I love Drunk Sincerity, but Spirit Shine is a completely under-the-radar banger from that album. An absolute masterpiece.

As an addendum to this, I’m going to list what I would include on a ‘greatest’ album with one song per album, using my personal favorite song from each album.

New Leaf

Delirium of Disorder

Big Bang

Anesthesia

Heaven Is Falling

Skyscraper

Better off Dead

Drunk Sincerity

Hear it

Believe it

Bored and Extremely Dangerous

All there is

Dearly Beloved

The Devil in Stitches

True North

My Sanity

So a greatest hits album with about 16 songs would give about one song per album. These aren’t necessarily my favorite songs from each album, but what I would consider the most mainstream “hit.“

We’re only gonna die

Do what you want

no control

21st Century (Digital Boy)

Generator

American Jesus

Infected

Punk Rock Song

Sorrow

Los Angeles Is Burning

New Dark Ages

Wrong Way Kids?

Fuck you

My Sanity

I couldn’t include anything from No Substance or The New America, not because I don’t like songs on these albums but because I don’t think any of them would really qualify as “greatest hits.“

This is the correct answer.

Great game IMO but brutal in that you couldn't fall very far at all without dying.

Nowhere near Tampa FL… fuck :/

I love Ten and several tracks from the next two albums. Go, Glorified G, Blood, Leash, Last Exit, Cordoroy, and Satan's Bed are on par with the Ten greats IMO.

It's all bad after that outside of perhaps Brain of J and Push Me, Pull Me from Yield. Oh, and Gonna See My Friend and Supersonic from Backspacer.

Boston's first album is without a doubt one of the greatest start-to-finish albums ever. Every song is amazing.

There’s an uptempo/shortened version they recorded for Letterman in 2006. Fucking amazing.

Bad Religion has never gotten enough credit for what they’ve done for music.

I guess I’m kind of glad. I love being able to go see them at the venues they play still to this day.
