Dark Souls FAQ

Q: What's the world record?
A: http://pastebin.com/WkfywHbd
--------------------------------------------------------
Q: What's the deal with DSFix?
A: As far as I'm concerned, everything but unlocking the framerate is okay. If I have to quit and reload the game during a race I apply a 15 second penalty if there are other people who are not using the intro skip. Unless you unlock the framerate DSFix will not cause dumb shit to happen, don't bother blaming it for anything.
--------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why are you using pyromancy?
A: I wanted to run something that doesn't involve a random drop like the Black Knight Halberd.
--------------------------------------------------------
Q: What version of the game is this?
A: PC, so version 1.06.
--------------------------------------------------------
Q: Isn't it faster to kill Oscar?
A: No.
--------------------------------------------------------
Q: What does Power Within do?
A: PW increases all damage by 40%, boosts stamina regeneration and deals 1% damage to self per second for 100 seconds. And probably some other buffs but I don't care about those. In version 1.05 and earlier the damage done to self scaled with the pyromancy flame's level but that was fixed in 1.06.
--------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why do you use Power Within when you're not about to fight anything?
A: For increased stamina regen.
--------------------------------------------------------
Q: How did Ceaseless Discharge just die?
A: He fell off a cliff, it's an intended way of killing him.
--------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why did you kill Andre?
A: To get the Crest of Artorias.
--------------------------------------------------------
Q: How much time does the Dukeskip save?
A: Last time I checked I was terrible at the game so I'm not sure. Probably 4-6 minutes.
--------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why did you quit and reload at Seath?
A: To make sure no clams followed me to the arena.
--------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why are you donating Humanity to Quelaag's Sister?
A: Donating 30 Humanity unlocks a shortcut to Bed of Chaos and allows skipping Demon Firesage and Centipede Demon.
--------------------------------------------------------
Q: Wouldn't it be faster to fight the bosses?
A: Maybe, if the fights went really well. But usually the fights don't go well enough for it to be faster. Every build that isn't a pyromancer should kill the bosses.
