Can you beat Dark Souls 1 with only a Fire Whip?

[@heartbeat4atinman]

Wow, I had no idea a Resistance build was so effective. I'm gonna max it out in every playthrough.

[@amastus4389]

Just think about it, it can be a whole series: Lightning Spear only (physical or/and miracle) Magic Arrow only (physical and/or Sorcery)

[@TripleB2580]

Yeah this idea is so revolutionary, "no one" has thought of ot before

[@funkymachine]

that sounds really goofy and fun lol. lightning spear seems impossible tho cuz miracle only requires grinding with gravelord sworddance

[@MinervaNeuhart]

​@@funkymachinejust use hellkite drake to farm

[@funkymachine]

@@MinervaNeuhart TRUE yeah i forgot that since i grinded in front of the alter

[@MrProgrock]

This was a fun challenge (if somewhat silly)! Btw. I don't think I've seen that falling animation at 1:35 before, pretty neat!

[@Kirn.]

Than you for featuring my terrible typing while eating food lol

[@dannaaa330]

i was mostly thinking about the Fire Whip Pyromancy, still cool video though!

[@olu550]

dude same

[@cinnabunz1532]

You think that spell is technically allowed in a whip only run? Chaos whip too?

[@rileybolling761]

I hope your channel grows. Your runs are entertaining and you make good and detailed content

[@1mmense]

I love builds that use off-hand weapons, and the idea of Fire Whip & Fire Whip is awesome. Good job man

[@rybread9574]

one of my favorite streams so far was the fire whip artorias fight. the dog in the canyon gives sif a run for her money

[@MrMetagross]

That damn dog

[@lathrin]

Just a quick tip for second phase Smough: if you sprint directly at him, he will usually (probably at least 90% of the time) do the jumping attack, it's pretty easy to exploit and might come in handy if you do a run with a terrible weapon

[@48magnum97]

All jokes aside max resistance really added ~140 physical defense in each slot, thats not nothing

[@radmilk73]

Definitely not insignificant. But also…ring of steel protection, armor swaps…probably just not worth the investment. Thanks for pointing that out though, I hadn’t noticed 😂

[@sirbill_greebi3811]

6:30 The fireball giant just watching in disbelief

[@darksoulsfan]

I loved tuning into your streams. I'm excited to see other content you create.

[@jamesduke5848]

That crash bandicoot soundtrack though. Made me want to boot up my emulator immediately

[@_traubenkuchen_]

I love that the interconnectivity of ds1 allows for such runs to exist

[@lotus3540]

This video is fire (literally)

[@IliumGaming]

eingi only gives you the flame if you have 11 INT, thief starting class was a good move

[@48magnum97]

Nice TFS reference, plenty of juice! Also, I'd call this a "Durin's Bane" run or a Balrog run

[@matteorudolph4746]

Really nice video👍 I enjoyed every dark souls video that you uploaded

[@scemochilegge-e6b]

For taurus and gargoyles you used a base whip 🤨🤨🤨

[@terubby]

fun stream and cool to see it turned into a vid, and a pretty goofy run in general lol

[@brunomiguel6156]

bro is straight up hacking i love you you're a menace

[@crestfallenknight02151]

Don't think you can sneak that Mario Party DS music in with out me noticing.

[@abyssalspecter93]

I used to know the guy who made the "skulled shuffle" video, we met on Payday 2 and used to play a lot back in like 2014. He also used to play OSRS but we lost touch at some point. I remember him streaming on twitch back then. I wonder how he's doing.

[@RiesenQuaffel]

I really like how you pace you video and how you present the whole journey- i just wished you wouldn't dupe so much early. I feel like this run would have been more interesting if you duped until you can afford a fire whip +0 and buy the pyromancy or sth. like that, but no more beyond it. And also I feel like eventhough you put all stats into meme res, it made all your resistances (including physical!) very high, making it a lot easier. But that is just what I would like to see! I enjoy your content anyways and thanks for making it. :-) Edit: I can tell you are good at the game anyways, so I think you could do just fine without it!

[@MrMetagross]

Well this run wasn't meant to be so serious anyways lol, just a silly little april fools type of video

[@applesthehero]

when you've duped so many souls you just buy the max 99 of each upgrade material instead of the amount you actually need, because it's faster

[@creakingskull7008]

Creaking Skull

Creaking skull

[@uglyhotdog7856]

​@@ludomirrackza2529 wait this is why you've been posting creaking skull in chat?

[@orionaffect]

Its beautiful 😢

[@Yes-----]

this is oddly similar to the terrible run that I did with a fire claw, which was terrible for all bosses immune to bleed, which was quite a few, especially everyone's favorite 4 kings

[@noahbarran2928]

Another video, another W

[@Vi_s_Cupcake]

All these enemies got Whipped real good

[@GomaGomaGoma-li7ug]

Cool video 👍 you should try a boss weapons only run using a unique boss weapon for every boss

[@Lamentationsofapoory]

I've done one of these, first weapon you can really get is the tail axe from the Gargoyle and it's fucking rad

[@Snugrot]

I really like just how polarizing the background music you use can be compared to the tone of the game lol

[@TheCodemanc4]

....I could feel you were a TFS fan before I heard the "push ups, sit ups, and plenty of juice" line

[@Solid_State_Moisture]

This is cool, I just picked up ds3 again and am trying to see what I can kill with only twinkling dragon stones in journey 6. Curse rotted greatwood took a while lol and ended up finishing it with longsword

[@perrysmith8211]

I just bought ds3 for my first play through lol all these challenge run vids got me wanting to try it out for myself

[@Solid_State_Moisture]

@Perry Smith it is a great game and has a lot of hidden stuff, but it isn't too hard to get once you figure out the map. Also, it has some of my favorite bosses like Champion gundyr or dragonslayer Armor

[@basedDS3enjoyer]

Another banger

[@VulcanGray]

Did they mean fire whip spell?

[@Casketkrusher_]

To whip it, whip it good. Now I got Devo in my head lol

[@justicebellard8898]

Love the kh2 twilight town music :)

[@Bubloi]

"We go into sen's and use the shortcut" THE W H A T?!?! 🗿

[@ΡαφαήλΣαλιάρης-ν5ω]

How did you get into sens without the second bell? Did you do the parry glitch?

[@Lil_Yoschi]

Exactly what I was wondering

[@svlanifructis7114]

I had such a brain fart thinking "How's he gonna beat Lost Izalith with fire?" but then I remembered who the boss was. Great run, I like seeing unconventional runs.

[@eskea]

I don’t even like dark souls much and yet I watch people challenge run the game 😂 one day I will continue dark souls. One day. Not with a whip tho 💀

[@Ultratistic]

Love the Dragon Ball Abridged reference

[@Sakura-Army]

that resistance part 😆

[@renatoramos8834]

Pretty sure there's a green titanite shard on a ledge near Vamos.

[@mcsquizzy77]

Crack that whip

[@cosmic7639]

Okay...only smough's hammer...and you can only level strength 2 times per boss! Call it the regigigas challenge

[@MrMetagross]

I wouldn't mind a smough hammer R2 only challenge

[@nemtudom5074]

11:10 Magic damage penalty? Not the health penalty?

[@Casketkrusher_]

I like how he use Crash Bandicoot 2 music for a Dark Souls video

[@MrMetagross]

Love the crash games

[@Treso14]

theres a green titanite shard in the catacombs

[@Knytewish]

Would have enjoyed this more with in game background sounds

[@maksimxr766]

Sorry for being a nerd, but Crown of Dusk is 20% and Crown of the Dark Sun is 10%. You most likely mixed the magic dmg boost with reduced magic defense - which is 30% for Crown of Dusk.

[@zylo4029]

I always thought they were the same, but used the Crown of Dusk because it’s lighter. Thanks for the correction

[@absantos]

How did you go directly to the whip in Blighttown without the Master Key?

[@MrMetagross]

Thief starts with master key

[@absantos]

@Mr Metagross Right, completely forgot!! Thanks

[@Its_PizzaTime]

My whip build took like 32 hours to beat. it was based on Simon Belmont so I used faith with it, too. The whips are just pure garbage

[@luxinterna3370]

At least you cant parry whips.

[@batchagaloopytv5816]

you dropped to Vamos and didnt pick up the green shard on ledge? how/why you actually have to use the ledge to drop down 😮😮😮😢😢😢

[@alexando8954]

a magic weaon run (phys/magic ur choice)?

[@UnusedUserHeeHeeHeeHaw]

Me and the boys before Abraham Lincoln:

[@bobthebob6800]

I really like your videos! You should try beating the game but every enemy is cealess discharge :D

[@MrMetagross]

Cool idea but theres most certainly several things that make that impossible. The first being that even the randomizer doesnt let ceaseless replace anything. And if he couldz it would more than likely crash the game in every area, and third is that his legs have no active hitboxes meaning ranged would be the only possibility.

[@dylanchaney9954]

Can you beat dark souls with Chat GPT picking your equipment for each new area?

[@ynghllw]

Love the crash bandicoot reference

[@ProsaicUncleXD-bc5nt]

Pls do a pickaxe only run

[@akeru833]

Now do it with the true whip +10

[@evanseifert8858]

Does "only several" make any sense?

[@TheLucidFam]

Yo meta can u do a challenge u only use magic no swords or shields only magic but u do have 5 times u can use ur sword if u need :)

[@MichaelTheNinthOne]

Should have named the character Simon.

[@StormCrownSr]

It would have been better if it came out on the first of April, but it's still ok as a video.

[@Snipery2022]

Just saying u can skip tuaras demon by having the master key and going through the valley of drakes from new londo get to dark root and ur at blacksmith

[@Ayahuasca98]

Ds2 whips were the best

[@Elden_Monkey]

Can you try a normal speedrun? Nice video anyway!

[@MajorIzan]

I bet you can't beat DS1 with only ineffective stats! Like using Demons Great Hammer without the appropriate stats!
