Beating EVERY area in Dark Souls 2 with ONLY items found within

[@eleumloycee]

Hi guys! Thanks for checking out the video. Be sure to check the description for timestamps of each area, and for the videos I mentioned in the intro! This is my first video, so I apologize if the audio mixing is inconsistent. As I post more videos, I will get more comfortable on the mic and my commentary will be a little less stiff. I look forward to improving and hearing your feedback!

[@Devlin20102011]

Congrats on the first video! This is a seriously good debut and I cant imagine a first video being an hour long! Keep up the great content, its probably a good sign if the algorithm is giving me this.

[@CrazyhorseDK]

great work :)

[@TallarHawk]

Damn, you've got like 200 subs in 6 hours a week after publishing the video! I hope this trend persists, you deserve it 💪

[@Myhrrylyth]

Awesome video! Very entertaining and well crafted. Im a ds2 simp tho so don't take my praise too seriously lol

[@BrightonsPriest]

Gg mate

[@aljabry9640]

Making your first video with this level of quality is insane, keep going.

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you! I will be happy to make more videos in the near future!

[@hanniballahr94]

For real. I'm so used to being late to the game in regards to quality KZbin channels. Looking forward to what else this KZbinr has to offer.

[@JKLeeds]

Ah I was wondering when someone would do this in Dark Souls 2! Excellent video, my dude and a warm welcome to the Souls KZbin Challenge Run community! 😊 Thanks for the shoutout also!

[@eleumloycee]

No problem!

[@MrMetagross]

Very nice video, especially for your first one. Thanks for the shoutout, I appreciate it. Just keep making videos and you'll be amazed how quickly you'll improve the whole process. I look forward to your future vids

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you so much and no problem dude, when I saw you were another channel that took inspiration from the same video of course I had to mention your channel too! I'll definitely keep going especially after how much the community has enjoyed this video!

[@swyjix]

It seems like there is a real renaissance of content creation on older Soulsbourne games. So many new high quality channels in the last year.

[@eleumloycee]

I think Elden Ring somehow rekindled (no pun intended) the older games, and there also seem to be a lot of new people coming from Elden Ring and discovering the old games, which is really cool!

[@neonrelmsproductions4224]

I'm actually shocked this is your first video, this is very well done.

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you! I am really happy to hear that!

[@jundertaker0368]

Very well made video, looking forward to the future of this channel👏

[@voxstelarum]

DS2 is such a vibe and your commentary adds to it, keep it up ❤

[@eleumloycee]

I agree and thank you, I am happy you enjoy it!

[@KlyeKlyeKlye]

Your dry humour is brilliant! If this is your first video then I can only imagine the quality of stuff we'll be seeing in the coming months, keep it up! 👍

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@n.g.5234]

The production level, the video editing, the humour, even the subtitles, everything is great, especially since it's your first video. Very relaxing and the time flew by while watching the whole run. The only thing I **have** to say is that the voice volume changing quite a bit during cuts is kind of distracting but I understand that you probably recorded the voiceover multiple times or over multiple days/sessions and it's fine after a few seconds pass. Other than that really personal thing I'm sure most people didn't really notice, I'm really glad KZbin recommended this to me, really looking forward to more videos!

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your criticism! I will try to mix the audio a little better or be a bit more consistent with the microphone placement

[@somegalnamedseelpit3713]

​@@eleumloyceeIf you've got it, Audacity's levelling feature should be a great help in ensuring the volume is more consistent in an audio file. I think lowering the game volume a touch (while editing) can also help put more focus on the key points you're talking about, with less audio distractions. I'm really looking forward to new videos, this is already super promising - congrats on the succesful debut ^u^

[@tomasstargamer6308]

This was a GREAT first video! You truly got potential, and starting your career with peak DS2 truly is a daring choice which I appreciate, DS2 challenge runs are the most fun due to all there is for variety.

[@kippeen8195]

Its refreshing to see someone do a challenge run who isnt god tier at the game, no disrespect intended. Keep it up. This was extremely entertaining.

[@eleumloycee]

Hey, that's what this channel is all about lmao!

[@Hiushisan]

For the dark chasm of old, I personally would have counted the chasm sections as being in the areas where their portal is accessed. So one section would count as black gulch, one as shaded woods and the last as drangleic castle. If you're looking for ideas for future challenges, I recently tried a Dark Souls 2 run where I could only spend souls I obtained by selling things to Gavlan. It makes you plan out your levels and item management in very unusual ways. Rare weapons make you choose between using them in combat or selling them to contribute a hefty amount to the next level-up.

[@НиколайТрофимов-е9в]

Glad to see something good popping up in my recommended tab for a change. Great video! Subscribed and can't wait for more!

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you! I’m really glad to hear that! I also can’t wait to start putting out some more videos!

[@DimiWaffle]

Within 7 days of your first video, you get over 1 thousand subscribers. You are a rare sort, I am excited to see what kind of hell you put yourself through considering you're starting off with Dark Souls challenge runs. (Especially ds2) Good luck on your future runs!

[@tlozfreak888]

Never would have guessed this was your first video. Good mic quality, editing, script, even enunciation. Can't wait to see what else you do.

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you!

[@gloomygloomstalker3878]

What a decision to start your career with DSII of all games, I respect that (DSII was my first souls game so it holds a soft spot in my heart of hearts, so much so I come back to bully the Pursuer regularly)

[@jooot_6850]

Based DS2 enjoyer

[@StarJar1996]

Absolutely AWESOME for a first video, keep up the amazing work. This is really informative and interesting, and also hilarious, your humor is very endearing.

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks! I really appreciate that

[@lordkritz9775]

This was a wonderful watch! Especially for your first video, this is absolutely wonderful, and I honestly cannot wait to see what you continue to do in the future. I love the way you talk about everything, I love the pacing, I love the step by step style, and I just LOVE your personality for this. I’d normally say a bit more energy would be good, but honestly? I loved it all. The way you go about everything doesn’t even need some huge energy or flashiness. If this is the real you, and this is all natural, then PLEASE keep doing it! I rarely say I’m a fan of someone, but you can count me as one already.

[@eleumloycee]

This made my day, thank you so much! I was pretty nervous during this recording so I was a bit worried it would be too awkward

[@lordkritz9775]

@@eleumloycee I think you did an amazing job, even past the nervousness! Can honestly say I couldn't do this kind of thing as easily as you did, even if I tried. I see a lot of potential, and I genuinely cannot wait to see where you go with everything

[@CodeAndGin]

Seeing dark souls 2 get some love will always warm my hollow heart. This was a great joy to watch (and i must say the subtitles were appreciated). A tiny critique of the editing: Some of your voiceover clips start very very close to the end of the last one, which sounds weird to my ear. That aside, this being a first video is amazing

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you! I think it is because I do a lot of jump cuts, so I'll see if I can make it a little less jarring, thanks for the feedback!

[@TallarHawk]

Thank the algorithm for showing me this, really was surprised that was your first video, subscribed without hesitation. Really loved your sense of humor, keep up the good work. Also, when you will reach a million subs, this comment will prove me as one of several hundred OGs 😤

[@Marc-jk2xo]

It’s crazy how high the standards for content have gotten in the past few years. Having this level of quality as your first video my god, what an achievement. Also what a sick run!!

[@jordanthomas7194]

Commenting for engagement because this is a video worth community attention. You seem like a cool person, congratulations on such a successful first!

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you! I am very pleasantly surprised at how well this video was received.

[@clubstepstudios3912]

I’ve started to love watching dark souls challenge runs after finally completing dark Souls 2, and your video is amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@bearlytwiggs6519]

This is exactly the kind of content I’ve been watching recently, and it makes me so happy to be able to support a new channel! Keep up the great work!

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks, the support really means a lot to me!

[@M0th3ater]

Hey! Heads up about the Blossom Shield, if you don’t have plans to actually block & parry with the shield it is actually detrimental to your stamina regen, due to how equip load affects it vs the bonus given by the shield! Notably the ability essentially makes it only have the stamina penalty of a smaller shield, so it is pretty good as a parrying tool. Cheers!

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know that!

[@nomed228]

by first sight i thought that you are experienced souls runner but this is very impressive for the first video, keep going, looking forward for your next challenge run video

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you, while this is my first time posting to youtube I am not really a new Souls player lol

[@Yesnomu]

Challenge runs like this are so fun. I like your dry self-deprecating jokes at points too. Great first video!

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks!

[@6karnex9]

Fire first video bro, definitely subscribing

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you, I appreciate it! :)

[@acsulag8002]

49:45 For the Ancient Dragon, you want to stick to the space between its claws on its right foot on the back. That ensures you aren't hit by anything other than his hover fire attack, for which you gotta run towards its tail. Great video! You've definitely earned a sub

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks! I'll try this next time I fight it!

[@chaosscott5682]

Im so glad the algorithm blessed this guys first video. Keep up the good work.

[@RxAxIxNxBxOxW]

I'm grateful to see a new face in recommendations, and also seeing more DS2 pop up! Thanks for the video!

[@eleumloycee]

No problem! I think DS2 is pretty undersaturated as far as challenge videos go, so I'll try to think of some more for all the DS2 fans out there!

[@UpliftThrone76]

Subbing right here right now, if this is your first video I can't wait to see what happens once you hit your stride and get comfortable, you have a great start right here

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you!

[@cornelius7796]

At 55:54 I was a bit sad the video was ending, then i checked the video progress bar and felt relief when I saw there were 13 minutes left! Such a beautifully made video that kept me entertained throughout.

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks, I'm glad to hear it!

[@urazoe8240]

I think its great that you didt thins in DS2 as your first video, there are so many videos for all the other games, time for DS2 to get some love. it will always be the black sheep, but a loved one.

[@sGoncho]

I love this type of videos, especially because it is dark souls 2. It is incredible that your first video is so good, you really have potential, you will grow very quickly.

[@carsonclement110]

I really liked the video and want to your channel to watch some more videos, but this is your first video. Defiantly will be subscribing and keeping up with your future videos. All i have the say is amazing work:D

[@isaac-xm6kf]

This is wonderful! So glad this popped up in my feed. :) Please keep it up!

[@necron__7103]

Its absolutely insane that this is your first video, amazing job. Also great challange run! You seemed to plan things enough to not be lost, but also not enough for everything to seem mundane. An actually insane way to start off a channel. Best of luck for the future!

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you so much!

[@sunbro-ce2sq]

I seriously cant believe this is your first video, you definately have a talent for this

[@sleepyjackdaw]

Loved the video! Great commentary, subtle humor, useful information. I hope you receive the subs you deserve!

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you so much! I am really happy you liked the commentary!

[@zylo4029]

A video this good being your first video is wild, I would never have known if you hadn’t mentioned it in the Dragonrider fight. You deserve all the credit and attention you’re getting, here’s to more in the future!

[@sairentoeko]

I got about halfway into the video before I went to check if you've done any other fun challenges, and realized this is your first video. That's crazy, keep up the good work, I subbed and look forward to more

[@calebnixon4307]

Can’t believe this is your first video due to its quality. The algorithm is finally doing its job. I’m also really glad to see more ds2 challenge runs since it’s my favorite.

[@gestaltblitz8296]

Pretty insane quality for a first video. Ngl rewatching burnt ivory king lore and come across this because of the name of the channel is a pleasent surprise.

[@TinyMagnus]

I actually love this idea as some kind of extreme region lock challenge, can't wait to see more videos from you! :D

[@matheuslors2574]

I wouldn't have guessed it was your first video if i hadn't read the commentaries, this was a fun ride. Genuinely thought you already had some kind of fanbase due to the quality. Keep going!

[@ZakisHereNow]

I actually didn’t believe this was your first video and had to check your channel. CG. First video and it has almost 50k views in 2 weeks. Welcome to YT!

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you!

[@AshinaOwl]

Very happy the YT algorithm finally recommended something I want to watch lmao

[@eleumloycee]

I'm glad you wanted to watch it :D

[@maxpower-jl7wf]

I never use word relaxing to describe anything, seriously I've never used that word maybe even in general,but your videos especially this one are really really chill

[@FinnBurns-y9h]

I absolutely love the quality of this video, as a first video as well, holy fuck, on top of that it's my #1 souls game, fuck yeah, you're awesome!

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks! Us DS2 fans gotta stick together

[@Invader_Hex]

Hey, amazing video, I can't believe this is your first video cuz of how well made it is. Keep up with the amazing work. Also, you are a GOAT for playing ds2 in 2023. Glad people are still playing this amazing game.

[@donniethekhajiit5252]

For a first video, this is quite astonishing hahaha you managed to make me watch a whole KZbin video, something that I haven't been able to do since the dawn of Shorts, good luck and keep up the good content.

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you, I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

[@Kulepennstrek]

I was just watching and enjoying this video and suddenly you say it's your first one?! Very well done

[@ianswanson3678]

Very first video, on the recommended page on KZbin, immediately 1k subscribers in less than a week. The time and effort for making this insanely well-done video is clearly being well rewarded!! Between the dry humor, the quick death edits, and fun challenge, you've definitely got a recipe for success here! Subscribed and can't wait to see more 😁 (P.s. if you want another fun challenge run idea, the handmaiden's ladle run is one that starts out incredibly challenging but can quickly turn absolutely broken with the proper setup, it's my favorite build to do while doing co-op runs with new players to see them get salty about my ladle out-damaging their Berserk Greatsword!)

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you so much! That also could be a good idea for a future video! :D

[@Hopeful_Husker]

JK Leeds is the man! Good stuff, just subbed

[@eleumloycee]

Yep, his challenges seem to inspire many! :D

[@thickveinysausage3062]

1:04:25 There's a gap between the lizard's back leg and the wall you can jump through if you run before the jump, makes the boss runup way less terrible. Keep it up, this is some incredible quality for a first video.

[@KindlyMino]

Love seeing DS2 content. I still don't understand the layout and progression of DS2. Too much of a struggle for me, but you make it look easy. Amazing video.

[@eleumloycee]

Wow, thanks!

[@timtom2284]

Wow great video, im glad this got recommend to me . I hope you'll make more

[@aircutt4231]

the fact that this is your first video is crazy, the quality is amazing. I look forward to seeing more from you in the future!!!

[@linearlinera]

dark souls 2 is my favourite in the series so it was a really nice refreshing challenge run to watch! i hope you keep making more!

[@Mona-o.o]

i like the vibe the dark souls pass, like, ds1 is, omg a challeng, ''this boss is hard but i want to continue'', ds2 is like, ''i have a challenge... the word is sad''

[@myrrysmiasi4866]

So fun seeing so many unusual weapons used! Challenge runs often get a bit samey, so this was a nice antidote to that :) was watching this in bed before sleep and having to have the volume so high in the quieter bits made me *super anxious* about getting an ad screaming in my ear, but I guess you aren't/weren't over the threshold for ads 😅 lucky for me Can't wait to see what you'll be up to next!

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you! Also you are really lucky because youtube also plays ads on unmonetized videos

[@matiasonores2245]

It's always soothing to watch a DS2 playthrough and since this challenge was becoming a thing i was looking forward to see one made in this game. Suscribed!

[@thomasboswick5899]

For a first video this is incredibly well put together! Looking forward to more content from you

[@ezradawn54]

holy heck a new soulsborne channel starting with a Dark Souls 2 video?! hell YES!!! im excited for the future of your channel

[@detrix12cz]

Good job, before i checked comments I didn't know, that this was your first video. Continue what you're doing, because you're doing a great job.

[@YureiOni]

I love the archdrake robe. I love that the cleric class starts with it.

[@diaznuts5947]

I cannot believe this is your first and only video, simply incredible! I would also love to see more ds2 stuff despite what people say is my personal favorite because of build and drip variety

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you! I love DS2 as well, it is tied with DS1 for my favorite Dark Souls game

[@Marx_D._Soul]

God damn, this is your first video? Kick ass girl!!!

[@benknightbus1729]

The humour, editing, knowledge, and the fact that DS2 is my personal fave makes me rate this video a 5/7, a perfect score Looking forward to more

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you!

[@LegalHotline]

Damn! The effort you put into this as your first video is amazing. Keep this up and you’ll be big.

[@LegalHotline]

Also, if anyone is on Xbox and wants to PVP on any of the games (I don’t have Elden Ring yet unfortunately) let me know

[@DasMaggie]

recommended actually worked for once, we love to see it.^^ quality video, good job! i would recommend tuning ur voiceover a bit, it was kinda quiet in some cases, but besides that i gotta say really well done! subbed and liked. :D

[@YUFlysofast]

I really wouldn’t have guessed this is literally your first video. Well done

[@weshouldchill5694]

With the quality of this video I could've swore you must've had way more videos. Definitely earned a sub and look forward to whatever gets uploaded next.

[@bigmclargehuge8219]

"I may have thought I had ascended, but the mannequins would not let me forget my roots" sounds like a fucking GOD TIER TTRPG session premise.

[@eleumloycee]

You should make one and tell me how it goes lol

[@Daeyae]

Loving the video so far, only have 1 criticism and that is audio, not it being inconsistent or anything just really quiet, I'm hard of hearing so it's probably worse for me than most people, not sure if you could render with the audio cracked 20% or something, maybe it's more the input than editing IDK, ofc if it's not really possible then don't worry, I don't mind reading subtitles. Love to see more content in the future!

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks for the feedback! I’m gonna make sure it is louder in future videos!

[@myboysd5772]

A cool challenge, hour long video, and subtitles. Daym. Gotta subscribe for that, great work.

[@mehless]

Really well-made video and soothing voice, would definitely love to see more videos! Subscribed.

[@eleumloycee]

Glad you think so!

[@PossiblyAngle]

a best souls 2 video will always be welcome in my feed

[@DustoVonSusto]

Amazing first video, ill be keeping an eye on your channel!

[@SineWave289]

[@eleumloycee]

Thanks, I'm really glad you liked it

[@auroresidio3176]

From the forest to Eleum Loyce This run overall was pretty noice Great video! Also- i am morally obligated to subscribe since you've used the zweihander at Iron Keep.

[@dontwannabeahero1570]

Thank you to the algorithm gods for throwing this into my recommendations I expected a veteran souls challenge runner who sounds like they smoke 20 a day Instead i found a quite literally brand new runner as far as content goes A lovely change

[@eleumloycee]

I'm glad you like my content! :D

[@dontwannabeahero1570]

@eleumloycee liked is an understatement it was stella, this alongside your 2nd video brought a new more fun element to challenge runs As cool as it is to see people like yamfa bend the game over their knee or backlogs best the insane with pure determination theres only so many variants of low damage, worst weapon weird build that can be done And to me especially the whats the most fun thing ive found recently gameplay style this effectively is was really entertaining to watch

[@harryleeds8855]

Wow, I just watched the whole video and found out it was your first ever one.. the quality of commentary and footage was amazing. Well done!

[@caseyogden9268]

32:42 only youtuber ive seen with my same silly obsession lmao, it just looks so satisfying at the end!

[@Adrastos_Armor]

This is an awesome challenge and for your first video it's incredible! With time and practice, all things are possible! As a minor critique, listen to your script a bit before setting it in stone, there are a few moments that just sound a little off grammatically, but its so few and far between its barely worth mentioning lol Keep the videos coming and welcome to the souls KZbin community!!

[@joshparkin2231]

Loved the quality of your video, went to see what else you had done just to find out this was your first one!!!! Subbed, can't wait to see whats next

[@kedk_2859]

Good video bro glad that there is young people that already plays dark souls like me you have so much potential like yazmania or JKleeds

[@eleumloycee]

I'm an adult, but thank you anyways! I'm glad you have discovered Dark Souls already :D

[@danielfisher7016]

Great video, always love seeing people play my favorite Dark Souls game.

i cant believe this your first video cant wait to see more of you

[@Blockzocker]

Very entertaining video. I like the fact, that you added timestamps and english subtitles

[@vggeist644]

I like this idea! Theres so many weapons in all of these games ive never touched because you get em so late

[@Livid-Vivid]

I've got to admit that this is a pretty damn good video to start out with, even if I do have a bit of a soft spot for Dark Souls II! I really enjoy these long form challenge run videos so having another source of them is pretty nice. I do have one critique though and something I think that can definitely be improved upon and it's the audio mixing, you're very quiet throughout the video and there are points where you get even quieter or a little louder than the previous section which is a little off putting. Great first video though and I'm looking forward to seeing how you grow and what you do next.

[@H3lLxxASsasSiN]

Really good video, didn’t expect it to be your first video ngl

[@theenbee8222]

Really solid video! Sound quality could be a bit better since I gotta turn it up twice as much as most other videos I watch but that's not a huge issue honestly; great job for your first time!

[@gabrielfehlau8626]

I can't believe a whole place made this video

[@cthulhurage4580]

I was hitting the sub button to find out this quality is coming out of the first video on the channel. On top of that a ds2 channel which my personality is based entirely off of. Sign me up!

[@eleumloycee]

Yep! I plan to make more DS2 videos and the other games too!

[@Fanlikehella1]

Damn. I was shocked when I checked your channel just to find out, that this is your first video. I'm really looking forward for more videos :)
