    The Undead Parish is a VERY deserving #2, because if Firelink is snuffed, the Parish bonfire becomes your new home - at least for me it does.
  • @Laezar1
    Oh that's such a cool idea! bonfire are so important and they make or break some areas. (sen's fortress is so different if you don't find the hidden bonfire)
  • @quasarone3083
    Unironically very interesting subject, kinda crazy that nobody seems to have done a video on this until now
  • @xuanathan
    Darkroot cave bonfire deserves to be much much higher. Its the first bonfire you'll reach after skipping through Dragon Valley, and it's actually the quickest run to the 4 Kings as well. It'll also be your main bonfire for farming dragonscales if you're using multiple tail weapons.
  • @BillySYT
    If you watched the video, I hope you enjoyed! I put a surprising amount of effort into this very niche topic, so uh, yeah, lmao
  • Crystal cave bonfire (39) could be extremely useful if you want to farm twinkling titanite from those giant clam monsters
  • Just a quick note on the duke's archive cell bonfire, at least on prepare to die edition, you can actually warp from it. You just sit at the bonfire from outside the cell. Kinda funny actually. Saw it on a lobos video.
  • @BrandonBRich
    Crystal Cave bonfire was one I used frequently because the clams drop Twinkling Titanite and I probably farmed well over 100 of those to upgrade weapons and armor. Then use their souls they give to buy more twinkling titanite from the giant of anor londo
  • @minerman60101
    I took the master key on my first playthrough and I never found the second Blighttown bonfire; I had been trekking it from Firelink Shrine to Quelaag every time, and much later was dumbfounded when I watched a video and saw a bonfire was down in that swamp.
  • @beefstew4948
    number 44 is the closest location for farming demon titanite, so I would put it a bit higher personally
  • @KaoruMzk
    The Demon Ruins bonfire is there for people that didn't find the illusory wall that leads to the Daughter of Chaos one. Not everyone will find it on their first playthorugh, specially if they're going as blind as possible and it's meant to be an alternative. Also, I despise both the Vamos and Ancient Dragon bonfires because, if you rest at them before getting the Lord Vessel, you just trapped yourself in a very annoying area to space from. Believe me, going back up the tree is the definition of pain.
  • About the secret Izalith bonfire, I always hear people complaining about needing to switch rings on the runback, but Bed of Chaos is a gimmick boss. What other rings could anyone possibly need while fighting it?
  • Can't wait for DS2 and especially DS3 where a bonfire spawns after every single boss. Dragonslayer Bonfire slays.
  • @Ennello
    Damn, and I thought I had just come up with an original idea... Great video! Shocked you put the Darkroot Garden bonfire so low though. It's your reprieve from 2 boss fights, and your starting point for one of the best souls farms AND PvP spots. The view is also great! I've spent so much time at this one, so it's definitely my favorite!
  • @boyzen5832
    My 1st play through i didn’t know about the bonfire you get by killing the rockworm?! All the running i did T_T
  • Cool idea and great video! You should make a tier-list (or top 10) DS1 shortcuts. To me DS1 is the best of the series and one pf the greatest games ever made and that is in part due to the incredible interconnectivity of the world. The truth is all paths lead to firelink 😂
  • @Clayton0301
    Hey Billy! Just found your channel, and for such a young channel, your scripting and quality is really top tier! Plus it always feels good supporting family! Sending my love from America 🏳️‍🌈

    Its funny the lowest bonfire in your list is one that i like to use the most. I usually go there at the start of a run to make leeroy kill the wheelbones and the blackknight there to get his axe
