Can you beat Dark Souls Remastered with only Sorcery? | (Dark Souls Remastered CHALLENGE)

[@nutelly6255]

This challenge is the equivalent of "can I kill this whole ant nest with a boiling hot pot of water" but I love the content man, you're great

[@riiyoka__]

This is so unhinged ☠️

[@archlorddestin]

I mean, realistically no, you can't. Mature ants nests can be huge. At the extreme end, there are leaf cutting ants who's nests are as big as a 3 story house underground and farmers routinely use dynamite and gallons upon gallons of really nasty pesticides to fail to kill them.

[@thevoid4406]

Let me explain why the man-serpent's stab attack breaks the wall in Sen's fortress, since GamersWeekend didn't know. All attacks in Dark Souls have a poise damage value. This value is used to determine when an attack will stagger or knockdown a target. Every damaging affect has one, from player and enemy attacks to hazards like lava and the boulders in Sen's fortress. Boulders have a very high poise damage value to make sure the player or any enemies hit by it will be knocked down. This is actually what causes the wall to break. It's waiting for a very high poise damage value to impact it, like a barrel waiting to be hit before breaking. It doesn't check what causes the very high poise damage, just that it gets hit by something with high poise damage. It turns out that the snake's poise damage on its stab attack was made very high to make sure most, or perhaps any, player to be knocked down when hit by it. This high value is enough to trigger the wall to break. As far as I know, any source of very high poise damage will work, it's just that the man-serpent's stab attack is the most convenient. There is no player attack that has that much poise damage, but I wouldn't be surprised if some attacks from bosses or big enemies could alinteresting. I hope this explanation made sense. GamersWeekend, if you are reading, I hope you keep doing these challenges. Due to my old computer, the only Soulsborne game I've played is this one so seeing someone talk about this game recently is pretty sweet. You've got my subscription. Edit: It appears my explanation and multiple points throughout it are incorrect. Not that I'm surprised, I was going off of memory. So please, for a correct explanation, check out the replies to this comment from several others as they linked to more information.

[@GamersWeekend]

This is one of the most satisfying comments I've read in a while. Thank you King.

[@DrHELL666]

I like your way of talking you are very confident while speaking in mic. I love your editing & cuts in your video, simple and good! Nice description, looks proffessional. It seems that this is Dark Souls (old version) and not Dark Souls Remastered right? Well you have a small problem with that now. Your title is weak because of high competition. What I mean is if your title had the words "Dark Souls Remastered" & "Sorcery" (example: Can you beat 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 with only 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐲? | (Dark Souls Remastered CHALLENGE) ) you can get better search results because Dark Souls Remastered Sorcery (title & keywords) is something people are interested in. What I mean is you need to tagert a bit more specific. But you seem to do everything else very good, I think if you continue you can get great result with your channel, for now you can experiment with contect it is ok, but I would sugest you to stick with 1 content, I mean Souls- Like gamers are bit trashy and want to see only souls like content, in the mean time skyrim players would enjoy other game content too. If you want to stick with souls like games know that the best opportunity will be when the game Elden Ring will be released, I am already preparing my other channel called "iUnholy" to push it from the very first day when elden ring will be released. Otherwise making dark souls content as a small youtuber right now its a ultra grind. Also this is not so much important but I see your tags you have 1 tag "gaming". Delete that one and make 3 tags "dark souls sorcery" "dark souls sorcery build pve pvp" "can you beat dark souls with only sorcery dark souls challenge". Good luck bro!

Fun fact: while projectiles can't go through walls(which is why sorceries can't hit the snake guarding your cell), but mist attacks can. For pyromancies that means poison/toxic mist can status the snake(and he pnly has 2hp so that's an instant ko), but it also means there IS one sorcery that can kill the snake: dark fog. Getting it means beating both the sanctuary guardian and artorias without crystal sorcery and then maddashing through most of the oolacile township, but it is *possible*

I tried this but had to use reinforced club in very beginning (rats near solaire) and to finish off quelaag (ran out of spells when she was 10% hp). From that point on I used only sorceries. I didn't think of getting silver serpent ring for more souls, it was a pain to buy all logan spells in Dukes but everything worked out in the end. I used tin crystal catalyst instead for more damage but halved spells usage, but now after watching this I might go back to something that doesn't reduce the amount of spells, I really was running out often while clearing some areas in Oolacile.
