Beating every Area in Dark Souls 1 with items only found within

The premise of this challenge is that I can only use items that are found in the area that I am currently in. For example, only being able to use Havel's Armor in Anor Londo because it is only found in that area. This challenge also showcases a lot of different armors and weapons I haven't really used before so hopefully it inspires you to do something like this.
Anyways, let me know how I did and if you end up doing something similar. And stick around if you want to see more in the future. Thanks!
Skip the intro: 3:23
Huge credit to @JKLeeds for the inspiration of this run. His idea in Elden Ring was so cool I had to do it myself for a game I'm more familiar with.

Absolutely lovely video, I was honestly surprised when you said this was your first one and I rushed to the channel page to check lmao, it truly is! Great challenge run idea and good editing and pacing, I also loved how you mentioned other challenge runners like The Backlogs, it truly feels like the community is one big brotherhood. Looking forward to the next one!

[@leroykoch125]

I know I was mind blown the editing was really good and amazing pacing like you said he’s definitely going to get big quick

[@robertfaer4522]

If anyone wants to do this for themselves don't forget Artorias' Greathsield is given to you by Sif in the Abyss before Manus. Fully upgrade it and it can do some damage

[@TheActualMrLink]

Me too! The guy knows what he’s up to!

[@BigOinkWH]

I second this! Excited to see you grow and release more content :)

[@boxxrbain]

Yeah! Superb work. The game continues its life through creators like you! Bravo.

[@parkervint169]

Calling Ornstein and Smough “Lincoln and Taft” is iconic

[@illusorywall]

Very fun run idea, I enjoyed it a lot! Yeah, Quelaag is completely immune to bleed which holds the Iaito back. Priscilla *could* be turned visible with Velka's Rapier but it'd be pretty damn difficult and I'm not sure if I would pull it off either. You have to break her 60 poise to make her visible, but rapiers don't drain a lot of poise. To chip away at it, you need to avoid letting more than 5 seconds pass between your hits, which is easier said than done when she's invisible.

Didn’t realize this was a first video from a relatively small video. Very well made! Excellent work! Can’t wait to see more from you! 😊

[@SoggyBedSheets]

INSTANT CLASSIC! And for the first time, too?! Even down to the neatness of the description, this has all the polish of a veteran content creator. I can't wait to see what's next!

[@kos_]

A cool addendum to this challenge could be using anything a boss drops for whereever you go next. This way boss weapons/drops could still be used, but still be limited in that it can only be the next area you go to complete.

[@benlanders7363]

I totally couldn’t believe that this was your first video, well done my guy! Here’s hoping I’ll see more out of you soon!

Wow, watching this video, I thought you were a huge channel. This was amazing with regards to the skill, the editing, commentary and, well, basically everything. Congratulations! I hope you make more videos and your channel grows.

[@duncanbotchlet4902]

Good video dude! I would probably go with the jokes you were thinking of when you made it more "family friendly" but if that's you're style then good on you, just my opinion. You definitely put a decent amount of effort into the making and editing and if you keep up with it and get better then I would love to see where it goes. Very nice job

[@jameswilson5575]

You deserve far more. I don't know how people haven't seen your content! I mean, the editing is amazing, the puns at every corner, and above all else, fantastic videos!

[@Psycchan]

this is such an INCREDIBLE video!! the challenge itself, your skill in the run, the pacing and editing, omigosh the WRITING?? and its your first video?? i cant believe it!! the foreshadowing, the references to other challenge runners, the transparency of some shortcuts you took combined with intentionally using suboptimal strats for the sake of variety and entertainment,, like im in AWE honestly. MAD respect for this and i cant wait for more!!!

[@arthur3545]

Absolutely fantastic video! I was enthralled the entire time. Can't wait to see more from you!

[@samelthecamel4851]

You have a gift for video making, I really enjoyed this. Please continue to making videos like this.

Great video man. Dark Souls 2 has such a high variety of weapons that this challenge would be pretty cool there too. Good job :)

This is such a great video-reminds me so much of playing the game the first time where every weapon seems new and potentially amazing.

[@sadhomie9294]

Currently addicted to your content and I can't believe you only started a few months ago. I've seen so many Elden Ring challenge runs so seeing DS1 runs is very refreshing. Your editing, comedy, and game skills started strong as ever and have only improved. Keep on going!

im so glad that i keep finding these challenge videos, theyre so interesting to watch and keep reviving my love for the dark souls series and everything related to it

[@zjay]

This is exactly the kind of run that i enjoy, focused more on interesting or weird ideas rather than just making it more difficult, i'm going to try it on Bloodborne really hyped for that. Awesome video! I got you Sniper Crossbow run recommended and i've been loving your stuff so far, hope your channel keeps growning!
