**These notes diverge slightly from the routing taken by mintius. They suggest a different RTSR setup for 4 kings that does not rely on their attack patterns. This changes the late game boss order to Nito/Seath/BoC instead of Seath/Nito/BoC and dupes humanities for the shortcut in archives instead of on the NLR elevator.**

Any% Glitchless Beginner Route

Hey guys, I'm a glitchless runner for Dark Souls Remastered and I decided to make this beginner guide that will hopefully get you started quickly with running Any% Glitchless.
This is the route I used when I started running this category and it combines a very common Any% route with some strats that make it safer and less frustrating for beginners.

While it does use the Black Knight Halberd and therefore requires an RNG drop, you can use the tool Gadgetlemage to drop you the weapon for practice runs. Keep in mind that if you don't get the ingame popup for the weapon, that means the tool gave it to you and you can't submit the run to the official leaderboards. However I very much recommend using the tool unless you are specifically going for official runs only. If you do get the weapon drop by the game, the tool doesn't do anything and the run is official!
There are alternative routes that use non RNG weapons like the Crystal halberd, but the moveset, damage and upgrade cycle is very different so I decided to keep the BKH so you can get used to it.

A few general tips related to speedrunning:

1. Don't worry too much about fighting bosses in the fastest way possible when you're just starting out (my first speedrun was 4 hours, so you will be fine KEKW). The most timesave you will get is from not dying too many times (who would've guessed). So take every safety bonfire you can along the way to minimize timeloss from dying.
2. Try not to reset every time you make a mistake, doing full runs is important to get enough practice with late game.
3. If you perform a Save&Quit during the run, you have to go back ingame immediately or your run is invalid. This only matters if you plan to submit your run to the official leaderboards.
4. You can use savefiles to practice certain parts of the run easily without having to start a new run every time. You can use the Save Organizer tool to help you with that.
5. If you don't understand a strat or have any questions, feel free to ask in the discord! There are a lot of active runners there that can help you.

With that out of the way, I hope this guide helps you getting started with the run. May we meet again on the road ahead.

6. Rest at the bonfire to set your warp point

8. Pick up grass crest shield (GCS) and equip it
9. Go towards Havel's tower and pick up the soul next to the tree on the left
10. Open the door and run past havel (he won't hit you if you don't stop)

15. Run up towards Undead Parish and pick up the Longbow and the titanite lizard on the way
16. Use the remaining soul and purchase the battle axe from Andre
17. Rest at the bonfire and put all your levels into strength, since the Battle axe has better strength than dexterity scaling. Don't go above 22 strength though, or you won't have enough souls for 18 dexterity after the gargoyle fight.

1. Equip the battle axe, gold pine resin and homeward bones
2. Go through the undead parish church and go up the stairs to the fog gate

5. Bone back to the bonfire and level strength to 22 and dexterity to 18, then upgrade the BKH with the remaining souls if you have enough

7. Equip the BKH and unequip GCS to keep a fast roll
8. Kill Quelaag, use staggers if you can
9. Ring the bell and jump down to demon ruins
10. Kill Ceaseless Discharge by picking up the gold hemmed set and then running back to the fog gate, making him jump down towards the lava

2. Level Endurance to 17
3. Make your way through Sen's Fortress
4. If you haven't picked up any firebombs yet or used them all, you can buy 2 black firebombs from the Berendike Merchant in the tower where you have to jump across a gap. Be sure to either save up enough souls beforehand or pick up the 5k soul close to the bonfire.
5. Before going through the fog gate at the top, turn right and stand on the bridge leading to the tower. Turn around and kill the giant using your Longbow. You might have to break one or two of the bombs stacked next to him with an arrow to be able to see him.

13. Buy 6 twinkling titanite and upgrade your BKH to +5
14. Bone back to the bonfire

##O&S

1. Equip GCS and BKH
2. Enter the fog gate, skip the cutscene and do a quitout to restart the fight (avoids getting the glitched Ornstein dash)

Any% Glitchless routes

Beginner route: https://pastebin.com/8WLvWjaB
This version is similar to the faster routes, but is more dangerous due to the usage of the Red Tearstone Ring. Make sure to use Gadgetlemage if you intend to do practice runs, that way you don’t need to get the BKH drop.

Alternative beginner route: https://www.speedrun.com/darksoulsremastered/guide/nqxsh
This is the safest and easiest route for glitchless. However, it is quite different than the faster routes, mainly because it doesn’t use the Red Tearstone Ring.
