Can you beat Dark Souls 1 with only Backflip Attacks?

[@molkwi9077]

FUNFACT: Since Qulaag's fury sword is a chaos weapon, the fire damage on it will scale with how many humanities you have in your counter, next to your health bar. It does cap at 10 humanities, but it can still provide a pretty nice boost in damage.

[@evanseifert8858]

I've heard that it caps at 30 humanity, but I'm not sure if that's accurate.

[@kugerblitz7388]

@@evanseifert8858 nah i have used the weapon, the cap is 10

[@TheRedRobin96]

@@evanseifert8858 You might be confusing the number 30 with the Chaos Witch covenant since you need to turn in 30 humanities to unlock the shortcut to Lost Izaleth.

Kick attacks are probably the most infuriating thing I can think of. I did not know Nito had a grab attack by the way.

Ds2 flashbacks of trying to guardbreak. I have no idea why it is a buttoncombo, instead of a button, even controller has free button r3 or l3.

[@bolson42]

@@insertusername9755 Whenever i try to guard break in ds2 it never works, which sucks against turtlers because they’re so annoying to deal with in that game. But sometimes when i’m just normally attacking it’ll stick me in that stupidly long animation and i’ll get hit because of it.

super interesting run! I would love to see more of these weird attacks-only runs

[@Sonix07pr]

If you play on pc, steam lets you change your controller inputs, and even create some macros. If you are then playing with a controller you can make a custom macro (w key + r1) and bind it to whatever button you want. I did the same with jump attack and binded it to both back paddles on my controller. Works pretty neat.

[@Snugrot]

I do enjoy when the algorithm recommends actual good content 👌

[@KindlyMino]

A tip for anybody that wants to do this run. You can rebind heavy attack to make jump attacks more consistent. Everybody is different, but mainly Q is used for the right hand heavy attack. It is a lot easier to press Q + W at the same time rather than the cursed controller controls. This does obviously come at the cost of using Keyboard and mouse, but you can always switch out for the fights. edit: My bad I realized that the backflip uses the normal attack. Principle is the same just rebind the right weapon action (attack) to Q. Great video once again.

[@HEADSHOTPROLOL]

Maybe he explored this but I'd be surprised if just a simple Steam input bind doesn't do the trick, though maybe you can't time things manually?

I didn't about Nito's skeletons remaining dead if you quit out either. That's fascinating, because I'm pretty sure they respawn if you die.

[@CurvyKirby2.-]

That's probably because quitting out just reload the area and doesn't respawning things but dying and resting at bonfires does

[@0xDoley]

[@lordhellstrande2763]

Personally, I think challenge runs with little caveats is more fun to experience even as watchers. I tried a Cuphead peashooter only playthrough and allowed myself to choose use a different shot after about 25 or so tries. I only felt the need to do this for Honeybottoms and the Devil as I am nowhere near good enough at Cuphead to actually do full peashooter, but I'm happy with how it turned out

Steam input is a godsend for fixing some control jank with Fromsoft games. It took me less than a minute to open the controller settings in the shift+tab Steam overlay, enable Steam input, and then "add command" to R1 -> gamepad -> forward left stick. Left Steam overlay and now every R1 input from a neutral position on the analogue stick is always a kick/backflip.

[@watermelons2921]

You can skip getting the dark moon seance ring by jumping into the statue blocking your path and quitting the game while you're in the rolling animation. This will cause the game to think you're clipped into the statue and it will deload the object to save you from getting stuck. This works for the boulder doors in the asylum and sens fortress as well

[@MrMetagross]

In this video catalystz uses the same trick to break the boulder wall in the asylum around ~2 minutes. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXeodJ2EYp6ifbc Basically just run and jump into the statue while aiming for one of the flat parts of the floor by the feet.

@@MrMetagross Yes. To do this challenge you must first skip the first boss of the asylum with the black bomb and the thief for the passepartout. After this you go down and you have 2 ways: First: deaf quelag with only mildred (best for me) Second: skip that ag with the death camera glich in bligh town. After that, blow up the demon (you need armor for better fire resistance and a good amount of health), enter the border (the place where lava cannot harm and you can heal). You can't rest at the bonfire at this point because the bonfire doesn't spawn unless you kill the demon, You have to do a particular trick because there is yellow mist and boss. The trick is in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHXFdqunrqeshbM After that, go back before the fog (don't fall in the arena), enter the boss arena and you have to do the trick to kill the centipide demon and now you have the damage ring. At this point you can do damage with your kick, but the only damage you can do is shoot. For better damage you need to get Kirk's armor.
