Can You Beat Dark Souls 3 Using NOTHING?

Can I Beat Dark Souls 3 Using NOTHING?
There are many different challenge runs that can be done throughout the entire souls series, whether it be Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, etc. There is one run that I think is honestly overlooked which is, instead of using an item, just straight up use nothing instead. As far as I know this particular run hasn't been done so I decided to do it myself.

Of course the climb is more important, nothing is more important than the climb. In order to climb, you must be ready to lay down your life for the climb.

Interesting just how much better the fist scaling is in this game compared to Elden Ring. I recall seeing a video somewhere showing that even with strength and dex maxed out, you could still barely get into the double digits. Not to mention the fact that the DS3 fists let you parry whereas ER unarmed only lets you kick which is useless against the vast majority of enemies.

[@stevenboelke6661]

Fists were done so dirty in ER. I was super happy they added fists as a weapon in AC6, though.

[@miweneia]

ER fists are the same as DS1 fists - 0 scaling, always 2dmg

[@lebron73]

ds2 is the only souls game with viable unarmed damage

[@lebron73]

oh and Bloodborne if you use the kos parasite but without the milkweed rune

[@floopdafloof]

To climb, with nothing, is truly the peak of the climb. But to win, is ascention beyond the climb. For now with nothing, you have everything, with this W of a Climb. Godspeed you, sweet GrandMan.

[@thelordofcow5639]

I feel you pain on the dancer fight. I managed to kill her at level 25 with a +2 deep axe. that one attack she does when she turns behind her and slams her sword on the ground ended so many runs, especially because it was a true combo instakill if I tried to roll too late and would die due to dark souls input queue.

Not gonna lie it was mad funny to see Skum comically dying to dogs, rats & other assorted rapscallions while Guilty Gear music played on the background lol

[@GreenPeteTV]

Man, I can't explain to you how entertaining your videos are. The intros are just stellar, your edits are so much fun and the challenges are ridiculous. I wanted to do things tonight. I had so many things to do. But no, I stayed and watched all of this, time running out, youtube throwing 2 ads at me every five minutes and STILL I remained to witness the climb.

This run must’ve been a nightmare. My condolences to your lifespan.

[@BlackDragoonV7]

I saw most of the streams live you are truly the definition of perseverance I thought deacons were doing to spell the end of the run but you keep proving the climb is real. I can't wait to see how you top this maybe nothing dark souls 1 or 2?

[@miweneia]

Ds1 would be incredibly boring as fists there have 0 scaling and always do 2 dmg no matter how much STR you have

[@BlackDragoonV7]

@victorisaev281 I've never done a fist run in ds1 I tried using the fist weapons with a call back to a ds2 run I did Madame Fistlot. But after a hugh miscalculation of going to the catacombs early and essentially trapping myself down there I had to abandon that characters. I suggested he do the broken sword hit since it's a bad weapon and only ever does E E even at +15 but I can't see it?

[@theGazzer]

can we all just appreciate how hard Skum never fails to -make us- work for us?

[@ethanl5958]

fun fact - soul of cinder (spear mode): if you stay close and dodge to his left its easier to look for attack times

[@demon_dc_0384]

I actually tried this run last year and stopped after vort for some reason, really glad to see the run. Great job ❤

[@Tsuki_the_canadian_otaku]

For the homing arrows in aldrichs fight if you stand at the very back of the room (complete opposite side of the room to the boss fog) the arrows wont hit you, still have to dodge the other attacks mind you but it makes the bs that is the homing arrows non existent
