'''[[Dark Souls]] 100% Area Completion''' is a speedrun category in which the player tries to complete the game as fast as possible while also clearing every single area. Glitches, skips and sequence breaks are all allowed. Using other programs to affect the game or editing the game code is not allowed; apart from a few exceptions allowed by the community.

== Objectives ==

* Clearing all 26 bosses
* Clearing all non-respawning enemies *
* Unlocking all shortcuts **
* Dissolving all foggates
* Kindling all 43 bonfires to the furthest state
* Picking up all item collectibles ***
* Finishing all NPC questlines ****


<nowiki>*</nowiki> All of them need to be cleared when you finish the game. Any means is allowed here as long as they don't exist in the area anymore, for example the Gargoyles in Anor Londo can be cleared by turning Anor Londo to dark instead of killing them if desired. Black Phantom NPCs can be cleared by simply clearing the boss of the area, but some of them need to be killed separately in order to access all of the collectibles (for example Kirk's or Leeroy's set).
