Beating Dark Souls by Impersonating the NPCs

[@nolongeraperson]

No one would want to impersonate Petrus anyway.

[@eleumloycee]

Not with that hair!

[@nolongeraperson]

@@eleumloycee Thanks for the response, darling! .... 😏 (Don't ban me plz)

[@eleumloycee]

...How did you get in here Patches

[@hiddenshadow2105]

Petrus is like that guy who is left alone at the end when people pick up teammates for sports

[@iamthehobo]

Doppelganger leaves behind dead world, only petrus remains

[@elcastrahimself]

Just a sidenote because I've already done this run myself, you should always begin the run as the Pyromancer as it gives you the same armour/weapons/spell that Laurentius has by default and therefore allows you to include asylum as part of the run. Not to mention the skip if you think not having Fire Orb/Combustion invalidates the cosplay.

[@danprentice7073]

Eleum Loyce continuing with some of the craziest and entertaining souls challenge runs on the internet.

[@2manyprunes]

Impersonate that little hollow having a lie down in New London Ruins. He needs purpose.

[@eleumloycee]

I could never replace him, he's my friend!

[@SpikedKirby]

Eleum Loyce should be casted as the next Level up Waifu on the next souls game

[@eleumloycee]

I would be a bit out of place with my American accent lol!

[@SpikedKirby]

@@eleumloycee You already have the calming voice like the maiden in black XD I dont think accent matters no one has an IRL accent in the games

[@AabluedragonAH]

I imagine her as an Ornifex analogue lol! Maiden of unique weapons

[@Kindcultist1]

It could work​@@eleumloycee

[@CrazyhorseDK]

@@eleumloycee perfect gorgeous voice for a firekeeper or melina type

[@Drakkanoth]

You come up with some of the most unique challenge run ideas. The “[weapon type] only,” “weapon art/AoW only” etc etc.. is still very entertaining, but cosplaying as a bunch of characters is just so out there. It’s really refreshing!

[@eleumloycee]

Yeah, I enjoy those types of runs as well, but I mostly gravitate towards doing runs where I constantly have to change equipment

[@splitzyprime419]

Making a good looking character in ds1 is quite an achievement

[@eleumloycee]

Yeah, DS1 faces are goofy looking but charming in their own way. I was trying to make her look like Unknown from Tekken

[@JellyJman]

@@eleumloyceebased Taken Tag Tournament reference

[@therighttrousers343]

Shiva of the East? More like Shiva the Deceased.

*In the middle of making an elden ring quality of life guide for my cousin* "This can wait, new video dropped" 😂😂

[@Dark-11721]

already know this is going to be a banger before even watching!

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks, I appreciate that a lot!

[@paakoopa]

most creative souls challeng runer amazing content

[@eleumloycee]

Wow, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy it, I'm always trying to think of ideas that are fun to do!

[@TheAverageNerd]

Babe wake up, a new Eleum Loyce video dropped

[@carythacker8049]

Not you stealing my comment 🤬

[@BatttleBun]

Thank god i almost slept through it. Glad you woke me

[@TheAverageNerd]

@@BatttleBun of course! I wouldn't even dare think about watching it without you

[@heckya1773]

I’m up 🙏🙏

[@generalgrievous92]

I didn't think I'd watch an almost hour long video from a channel I'd never seen before, but the super fun idea and commentary kept me engaged until the end. Great job, lots of fun to watch!

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you! I'm glad I kept you entertained :D

[@KlyeKlyeKlye]

The true mimic playthrough!

[@ArgieBee1124]

Excellent work, Agent 47. Proceed to the Kiln of the First Flame when ready.

[@JoJoPotatoWedge]

Damn, uploaded 6 seconds, already know this video is a banger

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks, I hope you enjoy it! :)

[@VoxTek426]

You know you could have cosplayed as maggot controlled solaire to navigate the catacombs with light

[@eleumloycee]

I actually considered this, but in the end I decided to save Solaire for Gwyn

[@VoxTek426]

@@eleumloycee yeah it was a fitting choice in the end letting “solaire” find his own sun also if you still need challenge run ideas what about beating ds1 as a monster hunter the base idea is beating the game only using weapon classes that correspond with the weapon classes in monster hunter

[@gabrielox5110]

So, this is basically a doppelganger challenge. NICE

[@NightNinja540]

Who up whacking they catalyst RN?

[@TheSilly6403]

Who up buffing they greatclub rn

[@autumn-876]

yet again confirming my decision to have u be one of the only youtubers I actually have upload notifs on for. been here since the first video, and have not been let down by a single one.

[@eleumloycee]

I'm really glad you've been enjoying the videos so far, I've been trying to improve them as I go along! :D

[@ThePotatoeJack]

And I thought I had seen every sort of challenge run...But then an Eleum Loyce comes along and teaches me how wrong I was! Great video as always :D

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it

[@pyroskar6797]

You actually made a very beautiful dark souls one character, impressive.

[@eleumloycee]

I was really happy with how she turned out as well

[@Fraustis]

This is probably going to be a weird compliment, but this gives me the same cozy feeling as watching How It's Made reruns as a kid. I love how chill you are

[@RoubanoGames]

My favorite souls youtubers post les goooo, love your videos ❤

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you!

[@RanaAhmadDeedatKhan]

"Identity theft is not a joke Jim, millions suffers from it every year!" Nice video!

[@jesseyellis2000]

wooo! great content to watch while im at work - love the challenge

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks! :)

[@Lesbians.Against.Bloodborne]

A new Eleum Loyce video? And it's absolutely too convoluted? Sign me up!

[@eleumloycee]

Yeah I live for those 3 hour rule explanations

[@glorytoukraine5524]

A shard of Manus showing the world of Lordran how it's done

[@Emergence_2000]

Really glad to see another video! Was just wondering where you've been, keep up the good work!

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks! I just got way too sick to record and had to let my voice recover a little

[@zeroherokero7629]

I love your channel and your videos , keep up the great work. Also your voice is pleasant to listen to ^

[@eleumloycee]

Aw, thank you so much :)

[@GodofTrombones]

I love this idea so much. I'd love to see the whole series run this way :]

[@TeesaurusStern]

i've seen many challenge runs which only use specific NPC gear, but this is by far the most creative!

[@eduardorickrot4763]

Another fun idea: defeat all bosses by cosplaying as one of their minions in the area. I thought about it as I defeated Gwyn while dressed exactly as the knight by his fog wall

[@eleumloycee]

I like this idea! Beating Pinwheel as the bonewheels outside the fog wall lol...

[@eduardorickrot4763]

​@@eleumloycee​ Yeah, I guess the bonewheel shield would be close enough Also, I think Artoria's cutscene would be quite funny if you were wearing a bloathead. Though cheats/ng+ would be needed I suppose

[@CodeAndGin]

NEW ELEUM LOYCE VIDEO WOOOOOOO Truly a criminally underrated channel

[@ihaveadigbick.3785]

Another fun watch, keep it up!

[@MarshalDTeachh]

It's always a treat to see new Eleum Loyce videos.

[@Classysassy12]

Im so happy to have watched u grow from 29 subscribers to over 11k. U go girl keep up the good work i love seeing it always!

[@xSimone92x]

Glad you're back! Love this idea for a challenge run! Keep going! ❤

[@theuselessknight6021]

Looking forward to watching this! EDIT: Now looking forward to watching DS2 version!

[@JellyJman]

Love the videos, one of the best challenge runners of all time

[@systmerr9445]

The perfect thing to watch while playing Shadow of the Erdtree. I love how creative and unexpected most of your video challenge premises are. Also, if you care, and it’s entirely possible you’ve considered this before, there is an idea I just thought of for a possible challenge run. I don’t know if you ever played Call of Duty: Black Ops, but there was this mode called Sharpshooter where everyone’s gun would switch to a random new one every minute or so, making things really chaotic and unpredictable. I don’t know if a mod for that exists, but if it does it might be cool to do that with a Soulsborne Ring Twice game, where your weapon randomly changes every minute. Sometimes you have a dagger, then a whip, then a greatsword, with of course the potential you can’t use what it switches to, or that the weight suddenly makes you slowed down. Just an idea I had.

[@mrfreddorenton]

Well done on coming up with such a unique way to play, and congratulations on keeping your health that low without going hollow

[@victisjkb6526]

Really good vid, this is a super cool and original concept for a challenge run

[@neophyteredglare961]

Huh youtube notifications working as they should for once? Surprising, i bet its gonna be another great video to watch!

[@Dr_Smoki]

Been Loving all the souls content! Keep it up Eleum!

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you! :)

[@elibou1st751]

This is a really fun concept when I do something like that it’s more deciding something like I’ll do the game as solaire the whole time

[@InfinityD4]

I know it doesn't really make sense, but I just imagine the following: You made this? *STAB* I made this!

[@dasaggropop1244]

not really reading the title i clicked on this expecting elden ring, but this is even better

[@hermesl9884]

oh crap never been this early to an eleum video. easily one of my favorite souls creators

[@Leonthrd]

Eleum Loyce is such a good name for a channel

[@abakgab4580]

up

[@eleumloycee]

It has a nice ring to it doesn't it?

[@darktemplar1177]

Always a fun time with you're vids.

[@scantyer]

I think Havel was the only one that didn't get impersonated by the end, could have done him for asylum demon NG+ Also about the 4 kings: The boss AI is very passive when there are 2 kings. The one in the back will only attack you when you get very close to him, if not then most of the time he'll only watch. That fight is easier than most people think it is, the extra kings are just a false sense of danger.

[@kilitimatyastoth1623]

I am going to sleep to your voice. So smooth

[@ShyGuy_Ty]

Always a good day when there is a new Eleum Loyce video

[@widefischl5283]

now THIS is a cool idea for a run, not the usual ‘this only’ stuff ❗️

[@GilbertTheGilbertGuy]

I do cosplay builds a lot my favorite will always be Oscar. Elite Knight is my favorite armor in the series and the astora greatsword while absolutely doodoo cheeks its super fun to use.

[@eleumloycee]

Yeah, it gets outclassed later on but it's a fun early game weapon for sure

[@thedeadlygames9163]

This was posted when I was high, I watched it, I have now seen this, didn't remember anything about it and I'm watching it again

DS1 content being posted just after shadow of the erdtree makes me so happy, I love Elden Ring but there's a magic to DS1 no other game can replicate

[@eleumloycee]

I agree, Dark Souls has a certain atmosphere that you just can't explain

[@callmedara]

Just discovered your channel and loving it, please keep up the good work!

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you! I'll be sure to keep posting :D

[@Setlir]

Gotta say, ever since your first video I'm always exited for whatever challenge you have come up with. They are always so unique and different from the usual ones. Do you have plans to expand towards Elden ring too, with the DLC being out and everything ?

[@eleumloycee]

Yep, I plan to do an Elden Ring video next ;)

[@Setlir]

​@@eleumloyceewell then, I'll be excited for that one

[@elemental-zweihander]

Identity theft is not a joke, Eleum.

[@Heatherwether]

ur severely underrated great run

[@soldierofkazus]

I made a similar-but-different mistake with Darkmoon Blade when I tried a blue mage run (can only use spells that I've been hit with at least once). I spent all the hours farming eyes for Darkmoon Blade... then killed Darkmoon Knightess before she could actually attack me, locking me out of ever using it.

[@Shakstein]

Great vid! Keep up the great work!

[@Gunkboosters]

Liar ahead, Therefore, try attacking Love the content as always eleum! The ideas get more crazier and your vids alway improve. Keep it up!

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that :)

[@hussainalkhatem299]

First few minutes: Immediate calm ☺️ It was entertaining when you decided not to stick with the ones you already used. Thanks for the video.

[@Sablegladius]

Dark souls but I commit identity fraud to progress

[@VileLasagna]

Karmic Justice is real bad. You need to be hit several times in quick succession for it to trigger, it's not really a damage value thing, only ticks. I guess a couple of things which would've been cool would be 1 - Finish Gwyn as the pardoner to make use of the Occult bonus and the parrying dagger all at once 2 - Solaire with Sunlight Maggot for tomb of the giants (I think others mentioned this one)

[@Burgerlly]

its been a long time but we waited

[@2manyprunes]

I wouldn't like to cosplay as Rhea, bashing Manus over the head with the ivory talisman and praying for double digit damage.

[@rollernkg68]

wait, Petrus has unique armor? I thought his is just the helmetless cleric set sold by patches

[@splitzyprime419]

Yep he has elite cleric armor

[@AntediluvianGirl]

Was looking for this, it's the Cleric Knight Set from Patches after reaching Tomb Of The Giants just with Petrus not wearing the headpiece

[@TallarHawk]

Considering all the crazy shit you've done on this channel, it's really surprising how much you suck at parrying, especially in DS1, where parry is really effortless :D Then again, makes for more entertaining video, so bully for you, and thanks for another great one!

Now do it again but also manage if you're hollow or human to make each cosplay as accurate as possible.
