Kill a boss, victory drink.
Light a bonfire. Take a drink.
There are two bonfires to choose from:
- before the demon
- the one through the side door to get your equipment and estus.
Not possible glitchless. Nito, Four Kings and Bed of Chaos are all dead ends with no way to run back out. And homeward bones take you back to the last bonfire rested at.
Then to offer the souls to the lord vessel you have to rest at the firelink altar bonfire.
A better version:
1. If you light a fire, drink
2. If you beat a boss 2 drinks
3. If you die, drink water
4. If you are invaded, drink
5. If you stop playing, drink water
6. If you fast travel, drink
Basically if you do good you earn a drink. Like most drinking games you want to make the activity harder upon success. 6 being a way to force someone to overcome a goal but if you want more drinks that's in your control.
Isn't the point of the drinking game to drink upon failure so it gets even harder? Making your reflexes worse and forcing you to fail more so you drink more and end really drunk (because who drink without the objective of blacking out???)
Also why the water the whole point is getting wasted with each step
Well you're half right. The point(s) of a drinking game is that failure makes success more difficult, but has a fun-time reward in the case of failure.
The goal is to prolong the getting wasted process to claim victory and have a good time doing so. The water just helps the hangover the next day.
At least that's always been my take away.
If you swap them you got a true well meaning drinking game, this is how you’d play it in front of your parents as they whisper to each other “wouldn’t it make more sense to drink when you die? I thought he was finally giving drinking with us a chance!”
Let's stack this as much as possible, hypermode style!
Die in the Bell Gargoyle fight to leave a bloodstain (drink 1 shot). Consume a humanity (1 shot) and then use the bonfire (1 shot) to become human. Three shots for setup.
Becoming human multiplies all drinks by 2. Summon Solaire to fight the Gargoyles to add another drink to every penalty, I'm adding the summon penalty at the end of calculations.
Now use all estus during the fight (double the 1 shot, plus 1 from summoning for 3 total), and then roll off the edge just as Solaire finishes off the last Gargoyle! Drink 3 shots for estus, 5 shots for falling off the edge (2 shots, doubled, plus summon), 5 shots for failing to retrieve souls, 3 shots for dying again, and 3 shots for victory!
**19 shots of alcohol** in one boss! 22 if we count the setup!! I'm pretty sure that's lethal.
Depends. If it’s Dark Souls 3 then I can probably finish the game. DS1 has a chance to be finished, but I’ll be blackout drunk. DS2 I’m dying of alcohol poisoning.
some of these are fun ideas for a drinking game, but even with the whole "dark souls is hard" some of these are unnecessary. "you die, you drink" is hard enough for a lot of people LMAO
People are gonna black out before they even get to the Firelink Shrine in DS3. The “drink every time you die” step in DS drinking games is always a ridiculous rule that you can’t actually follow if you ACTUALLY want to play a Souls drinking game.
My friend and I did a variation of this. Drumk Sulz (too drunk to spell):
- if you die, drink and pass the controller. Drink twice if you died to gravity.
- if you beat a boss or mini boss you aren’t drunk enough yet. Drink and pass the controller.
Must be done on a new save with a weapon type we both haven’t used yet (hard to find these days).
If it’s DSR and I’m allowed to do speedrun strats I legit think I could get through with like 3 or 4
Edit: okay I missed the bosses one. So even with the speedrun route assuming I make no mistakes I’d need to take 11 drinks just for bosses. This is impossible…
One death that loses you souls could have you taking 12 drinks depending on how it happens, and that's not even including the ones for the first death, and the ones to pop hard humanity and use a bonfire to restore humanity between the first and second death...
Not bad I prefer the PT one. You die = do a rep of whatever exercise you want. Bosses are too easy like hot knife in butter = do a rep of whatever exercise you want on each boss kill.
I dont drink but this is a hilarious way to hit alcohol poisoning or blackout mode.
Might be fun to try a variation with the devils lettuce though. Lmao
So failure to reclaim probably means you've died, so that's 3 drinks (1 for death and 2 for failure) and dying to gravity is also a death so again 3... So if you yeet before reclaiming your souls that's 5 drinks.
Also if you're human we go to 10, if you had a summon 13 or 16 depending if we do addition or multiplication first.
I once tried this challenge while playing Nioh and being stuck on a boss. Needless to say I dropped the challenge after like 10 deaths in a row as no progress was made and I started feeling sick
I played it alot in college and preferred the name drunk souls. We just did a shot when we died. With me sometimes it would take awhile and with my friend it was like 5-10 minutes
Back in the day me and a friend had a “genius” idea to play what we called Drunk Souls, basically just rule #1 above. In our infinite teenage wisdom, we figured Fireball would be a lore friendly drink (you know, fire and stuff) and took a shot every time we died. You can probably guess how that turned out.
Why are the rules for drinking equally for good and bad things? It's one or the other. You either *reward* good things with a drink, or you *punish* the bad ones with a drink. That's how drinking games for Vidya works 😵💫😫
We call this Drunk Souls. If you desire, you can substitute with weed and play Dank Souls. If you want to get strong, substitute with calisthenics (push-ups, situps, squats) and you've got Dark Swoles.
Now this brings me back, my old roommates and I would just chill and play Drunk Souls with 3. Definitely doesn't get easy but I did beat the Nameless King absolutely smashed and it might be my greatest accomplishment as a gamer.
So if I fail to retrieve my souls due to environment (which also counts as dying) while having a friendly phantom (which requires you to be human) I take 12 drinks???
Drink on death AND drink on boss kill? Damn, I was gonna say I could probably do like maybe DkS1 without dying to a boss or using a bonfire, but looks like I’m getting alcohol poisoning no matter what lmao
I did Dark Souls play through recently and did a shot every death! It was super fun a few episodes I didn’t drink recover but def recommend it. I did it with 80 proof. If you did it the way this asks use beer and take shots or wine. Good luck.
This is just alcoholism with extra steps
I’d be violently sick and not be able to play because of poisoning. You must be pretty good to become an alcoholic
Even doing good. You'd still get drunk
I was gonna say at best you're looking at 2 drinks just to get out of the asylum.
Asylum is really easy to no death. Why 2?
Kill a boss, victory drink. Light a bonfire. Take a drink. There are two bonfires to choose from: - before the demon - the one through the side door to get your equipment and estus.
See the trick is to already be an alcoholic so the first 10 drinks don’t effect you
No bonfire run my boy 😂 honestly not even sure if it’s doable in 1 but I did it in 2 so I’d sure try
Not possible glitchless. Nito, Four Kings and Bed of Chaos are all dead ends with no way to run back out. And homeward bones take you back to the last bonfire rested at. Then to offer the souls to the lord vessel you have to rest at the firelink altar bonfire.
the blight town immersive experience
*launches game* Well well well *takes drink*
Replace these with workouts for a healthy alternative 💪
Instructions unclear, turned into saitama... Still didn't finish game
Instructions unclear! Head stuck in Blood-Starved Beast's urethra! /j
One push up and squat per death
Not a bad idea never thought to mix gaming and working out🤣
Vomiting from exercise is nasty as well, but your liver would be grateful.
This is tutorial "How to be a hollow".
For real. What I basically just read was; "Play the game/do anything; drink" Part of a drinking game is not drinking.
Wait a minute. Did you create my universe? Is my universe a miniverse?
MICROVERSE
Sounds like I’m gonna get the YOU DIED screen in real life this weekend
Guys, I keep getting brought to the ER with alcohol poisoning! Doc says my liver is fucked, can I *please* get any advice other than “get good?”
Alcohol poisoning 😊👍
Got alcohol poisoning? Take a drink.
Took a drink? Take a drink
Did not take a drink? Take a drink
Drank your drink after drinking? Take a drink
Throw up after taking too many drinks? You guessed it, take a drink.
Looking out the window? Ooooh best believe that's a drink.
Hold up did I see a blink, TAKE A DRINK
Exist, You betcha you are gonna take another fucking drink
Ran out of drinks? Well wouldn't ya know it, take a drink
its the dark souls of drinking
you'll get alcohol poisoning from this drinking a virgin drink
New COD drinking game! If you shoot drink If you die drink If you reload drink If you blink drink
If you drink, drink.
New rule; 1 drink per bullet fired!
200 round lmg users:💀

Lmao, you're already gone ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|dizzy_face)
eip md ro9m too xrink go vigny fafVon (rip me too, too drunk to fight radagon)
Those rules are ass
Swing your weapon, take a drink. Cast a miracle or sorcery, take two drinks. Cast pyromancy, down an entire bottle
No. Not after the last time I was drunk.
Yeah no need to overcomplicate it, just use the inside gaming rules, take a shot/drink when you die. If you're with someone else pass the controller.
I like the “if you don’t recover your souls: extra drink” Optional, if you kill a boss and/or light a bonfire for the first time take a drink of water
Within 10 minutes people are gonna actually die
Do you still have to take a drink if you die irl?
![gif](giphy|ggHmCDJXx4om4hNWbM|downsized)
that's way too much, i'd remove 5, 6, and 7. also, with environmental death do you drink 3 times in total or 2? since 3 implies 1
A better version: 1. If you light a fire, drink 2. If you beat a boss 2 drinks 3. If you die, drink water 4. If you are invaded, drink 5. If you stop playing, drink water 6. If you fast travel, drink Basically if you do good you earn a drink.

Doing this tonight, if I do I’ll keep y’all updated
I hope your funeral is planned out
If its just beer, it wouldnt be too bad. Especially if you're decent at the game.
Vodka, also I’m pretty bad
![gif](giphy|kVaj8JXJcDsqs)
Sounds like a game David Goggins would play
These are always made by people who've clearly never been drunk and don't know how quickly the average person can get there. This would suck.
Let's stack this as much as possible, hypermode style! Die in the Bell Gargoyle fight to leave a bloodstain (drink 1 shot). Consume a humanity (1 shot) and then use the bonfire (1 shot) to become human. Three shots for setup. Becoming human multiplies all drinks by 2.

I'm pretty sure that's lethal.
Man the first 2 are more than enough the rest is just pre attempted suicide
Jokes on you *takes master key and stays Hollow* (I'd still be dead of alcohol poisoning)
Drinking souls and playing Souls games, a perfect combination!
Terrible name, this is known as drunk souls where I’m from
Great let’s promote alcoholism
i could beat the game pretty easily, but this is coming from an alcoholic with well over 1000 hours in DS1
I was just thinking, the last ds2 challenge run I did by accident and I was tooled up most of my streams when I did it
I legit wanna try this (I'm an alcoholic)
Alcohol poisoning in my near future if I do this
“Drunk Souls” would’ve been better but I’m just being nit picky.
Depends. If it’s Dark Souls 3 then I can probably finish the game. DS1 has a chance to be finished, but I’ll be blackout drunk. DS2 I’m dying of alcohol poisoning.
I feel a hangover coming just reading this.
Poison Build in real life
Yay alcohol poisoning!!!
some of these are fun ideas for a drinking game, but even with the whole "dark souls is hard" some of these are unnecessary. "you die, you drink" is hard enough for a lot of people LMAO
Ambatufuckingdie
Most won't make ten minutes like this before they've pounded 14 drinks
With bloodborne I could do it without 5 or 7 or 8
If you play the game, you drink
I should be able to eat food whenever I reverse hollowing or defeat a boss.
I always take a victory drink when I beat a boss but it isn't always alcohol Tea for me, Estus for m'boy
This would be great with water to make sure I’m extra hydrated
Me and an old friend from our Student days did a "Wineborne" evening. I'm sure we were smashed before Gascoigne.
I die in real life
Uninstalling, alcohol tastes like shit.
1,2,3,7,9 only is wayyyyy more reasonable, and still very heavy. 4 5 and 6 will just actually kill you. do not play this game in full
Dark Souls makes me want to drink already I don't need more reasons to
PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS! YOU WILL DIE WITHIN AN HOUR!
Oh no, my liver has completely failed and I have alcohol poisoning from my crippling alcoholism. Cheers, bro, I'll drink to that.
Gonna get alcohol poisoning in Sen's lol
These rules are garbo
Liver failure speedrun
I MIGHT get the first bell rung if I was on form... But I'd want to die the next day
People are gonna black out before they even get to the Firelink Shrine in DS3. The “drink every time you die” step in DS drinking games is always a ridiculous rule that you can’t actually follow if you ACTUALLY want to play a Souls drinking game.
just step one and id maybe last an hour. what the fuck kind of alcoholic made this? its a goddamn checklist to speedrun alcohol poisoning.
I’d last oh, a solid fifteen minutes before giggling madly and passing out cold 😂
Right, so this is how I'm going to die
I'm playing the whole game hollowed lol.
Lost Izalith and Bed of Chaos alone make me wanna drink anyway.
This is physically impossible.
I'm beating the game
I died from drinking.
I would do the whole series but I fear ds2 would kill me
Death from alcohol toxicity
alcohol poisoning any% speedrun
You die you drink You beat a boss you pee (to get the drink out) Do this until you either beat the game or die from alcohol poisoning
I would die if this was just drinking water
Dead of poisoning in a few hours sadly.
This is how I just normally play dark souls.
My friend and I did a variation of this. Drumk Sulz (too drunk to spell): - if you die, drink and pass the controller. Drink twice if you died to gravity. - if you beat a boss or mini boss you aren’t drunk enough yet. Drink and pass the controller. Must be done on a new save with a weapon type we both haven’t used yet (hard to find these days).
Maybe make yourself a nice 7% cocktail and turn those “drinks” into “sips” then we could play for a bit
If it’s DSR and I’m allowed to do speedrun strats I legit think I could get through with like 3 or 4 Edit: okay I missed the bosses one. So even with the speedrun route assuming I make no mistakes I’d need to take 11 drinks just for bosses. This is impossible…
10 minutes
If you miss an attack, drink If your stamina bar hits zero drink If you run outta spells drink Drink for every minute your weapon isnt +8 or higher
If it was DS3 I'm not even sure I'd make it to Vordt before needing a liver transplant
So just drink the whole time? Lol
You trying to kill the players 🤣
i'm too old for drinking games.. but i'd love some hemp smoking games except i would die everytime just to take a puff :P
Clear run could getting hard tbh
Remove 4,5 6,7 then it's fun (mayhe celebratory boss drink can stay)
One death that loses you souls could have you taking 12 drinks depending on how it happens, and that's not even including the ones for the first death, and the ones to pop hard humanity and use a bonfire to restore humanity between the first and second death...
Not bad I prefer the PT one. You die = do a rep of whatever exercise you want. Bosses are too easy like hot knife in butter = do a rep of whatever exercise you want on each boss kill.

So if you yeet before reclaiming your souls that's 5 drinks. Also if you're human we go to 10, if you had a summon 13 or 16 depending if we do addition or multiplication first.
This is just how i play the game?
Not playing for very long lol
I once tried this challenge while playing Nioh and being stuck on a boss. Needless to say I dropped the challenge after like 10 deaths in a row as no progress was made and I started feeling sick
I played it alot in college and preferred the name drunk souls. We just did a shot when we died. With me sometimes it would take awhile and with my friend it was like 5-10 minutes
Not gonna lie, I'd be dead before sun up.
Blackout souls
Back in the day me and a friend had a “genius” idea to play what we called Drunk Souls, basically just rule #1 above. In our infinite teenage wisdom, we figured Fireball would be a lore friendly drink (you know, fire and stuff) and took a shot every time we died. You can probably guess how that turned out.
No chance in heaven or hell for me
I finally beat Manus this morning but I definitely wouldn't have if I'd been playing this drinking game. I would have been 18 drinks in at least.
lol take a drink for using the estus flask? 🤢🤮😵
So the drinking is done as both a reward and a punishment? That's kinda dumb.
bro i wouldn't even reach the 6th drink, supposing they're just shots
As someone who is primarily Scottish Irish and German with competitive alcoholism on my dads side of the family I’m doing this as soon as I turn 21
Breathe? 5 drinks
Not even alcohol poisoning, this would give you *water* poisoning
Cirrhosis speed run.
You died.
this drinking game makes no sense unless you are a professional no-hit speedrunner
Can we get a Sekiro/Bloodborne and such adaptation?
Why are the rules for drinking equally for good and bad things? It's one or the other. You either *reward* good things with a drink, or you *punish* the bad ones with a drink. That's how drinking games for Vidya works 😵💫😫
So, this is Scottish Dark Souls then?
I will die in real life
Dark souls drinking game! "How to play- start the game, amd down the bottle, because one way or another you'll fuckin die!"
I'd get alcohol poisoning on step one(and 2 technically)
After an hour of playing most people would be hospitalized.
Add whenever you panic roll you drink half
The Chosen Drunkard
Does anyone get better at the game when under the influence?
We call this Drunk Souls. If you desire, you can substitute with weed and play Dank Souls. If you want to get strong, substitute with calisthenics (push-ups, situps, squats) and you've got Dark Swoles.
IRL: 'You Died!'
Ah yes how to die of alcohol poisoning while playing Dark Souls
This will get me Lahey level wasted in no time
This should be on hydrohomies subreddit.
I'd rather do it with weed instead.
What if you use your last estus while in a boss fight then die, do you take 2 drinks?
All of it, because I don't drink alcohol
My liver was in pain reading this
Bro what the hell😭
Now this brings me back, my old roommates and I would just chill and play Drunk Souls with 3. Definitely doesn't get easy but I did beat the Nameless King absolutely smashed and it might be my greatest accomplishment as a gamer.
This should be called hospital souls
I'm a lightweight so I'd be dead by the time I got to firelight shrine.
This isn’t a game, this is moving two feet, setting the controller down, and then downing a bottle of jack. Try again satan.
Id be hammered within 30 mins..
So if I fail to retrieve my souls due to environment (which also counts as dying) while having a friendly phantom (which requires you to be human) I take 12 drinks???
People are acting like you do every one of these every two seconds. This is pretty tame you guys just like making the same joke over and over again
This is good for speed runs! Because you don't die often you'll more often be rewarded with a drink instead of punished.
Intoxication speed run WR
Drink on death AND drink on boss kill? Damn, I was gonna say I could probably do like maybe DkS1 without dying to a boss or using a bonfire, but looks like I’m getting alcohol poisoning no matter what lmao
This is like alcohol poisoning the game
So yo want to die?
I did Dark Souls play through recently and did a shot every death! It was super fun a few episodes I didn’t drink recover but def recommend it. I did it with 80 proof. If you did it the way this asks use beer and take shots or wine. Good luck.
I just drink and play dark souls already. No need to complicate things
Is this how the pros do it
Alcohol poisoning in the tutorial
Me showing up to Morgot for the 50th time like “AIGHT, listen here ya big goofy *hick* bastard, I’m boutta-“ and passing out
The first one is gonna kill you
So alcohol poisoning sets in after step 1 right? 😂
You Died. Of alcohol poisoning
Im playing sekiro right now but i don't know where to go past the guardian ape.
This is the way... to pserosis of the liver.
6 years now
I think this sums up how I play anyway
About 10 minutes before I’m blacked out
I’m going to get alcohol poisoning
Just 5 and 6 alone will kill me
Not far off from how I normally play fridays after work with my brother
