A full walkthrough of Dark Souls III, including all it’s DLC content, played entirely on Linux using Steam Proton.
In the first episode, I start with the Knight Class, choose the Fire Gem as my burial gift, defeat Iudex Gundyr, explore the High Wall of Lothric and defeat Vordt of the Boreal Valley.
Iudex Gundyr Boss Fight
He is slow and all his attacks have huge windups, so attack once you get an opening, other than that a fairly straightforward boss.
Vordt of the Boreal Valley Boss Fight
He is very aggressive but if you position yourself underneath him, all of his attacks will go over your head. Just watch out for his charging attacks in the second phase and you should be fine.
A full walkthrough of Dark Souls III, including all it’s DLC content, played entirely on Linux.

In this episode I rescue Rosabeth, get lost in the Shaded Woods, and defeat Scorpioness Najka.
Scorpioness Najka Boss Fight
If you strafe to the side, her magic attacks will either miss you or go over your head since they do not have any tracking, other than that, a fairly simple boss fight, dodge attacks and retaliate when you get an opening.
This episode was recorded at 1080p 60fps using the NVENC encoder in OBS Studio on Kubuntu 20.10 and then rendered to 1440p using Kdenlive.
