Can you beat Dark Souls Remastered without Stamina? (Dark Souls Remastered CHALLENGE)

Dark Souls is a game that often revolves around one major mechanic: the stamina bar. Almost everything you can do in this game drains your stamina. But that begs to ask the question: Can you beat the game without draining your stamina?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules:
1. I must beat the game without using any actions that drain stamina
2. Challenge begins upon New Game
3. No Major Glitches
4. All POSSIBLE Bosses

Can you beat Dark Souls Remastered without hoarding items? You play as normal except with every boss fight you must drop all non-essential items. You'll have to strategically determine when you should and shouldn't pick up items so that you'll have enough resources to last the entire game, while also employing a new weapon and armor set for every boss.

[@nagwod9126]

It's possible to beat the game with only the key items. I did it without even using estus, humanity, or upgrade materials

[@archiesmith9035]

@goggles789 I think you may have misunderstood my suggestion. My suggestion wasn't "ignore boss item drops." My suggestion is "every time you kill a boss, empty your entire inventory." Meaning he'll need a new weapon+armor for every single boss fight. That's almost the opposite of the Class Challenge. The challenge is in trying to keep a strong weapon on hand when you're constantly throwing away your Titanite and upgraded gear.

I'm sorry for leeching off this comment but I want this to get more attention. I just discovered a way to return to undead asylum without using any stamina. Equip a Longsword, then stand at the edge of the cliff where you would normally make the jump. If you do a One-handed Heavy Attack (not jump attack) with the Longsword at the edge of the cliff, it will propel you far enough to reach the ledge, AND not costume any stamina, as the fall animation cancels out the attack animation. Also possible with any weapon attack that is a quick lunge forward, Longsword is just the easiest one.

ymfah might be doing a challenge like this soon because of his sneak peak in his "DS2 no talk" video. Regardless it's not really that different because you don't need to talk to any NPC to beat the game or lvl up (unlike the sequels) the only impossible boss would be Kalameet since you need to talk to Gough. However since you can't upgrade weapons (you need to talk to blacksmiths after all) one will need to find the best unupgraded weapon and then use it for the early game. In Sen's fortress you'll need to use the lighting spear, and in anor londo you have the crystal halberd which can carry you through the rest of the game. Could also use the gravelord greatsword but i'm unsure if the prompt says "Talk", if not then that weapon is also good

[@jmv333]

Amazing vid!! I think the ultimate challenge run, and one that maybe only you could manage would be some kind of "Fresh Start" run Basically, you stay at Soul Level 1 just like your stream, but, after every boss, you must throw away all items, magic and equipment in your inventory except the broken straight sword. This means that after each boss you will have a completely "fresh start", just like when you load up a new game, and will have to scavenge resources and try and craft the best build possible for each boss encounter with very limited resources. I think this build would be incredibly fun because of the variety it forces, the craziest spells, weapons and armours can all get a use but only once!! Having to clear all bosses and playing as deprived would be in the spirit of the run, but might make it too hard to complete! I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts, I really think this would be the most impressive DS1 Challenge ever completed!

Totally crazy challenge again! Thank you very much, I very much enjoyed the video (I'd have considered it impossible before watching it). Note that (unlike in DS2 and DS3) shooting a crossbow also does not cost stamina in DS1. But you have shown impressively that sorceries combined with power within is all one needs to 'walk through' the game. My proposal for a DS1 challenge run: is it possible to beat the game without using the camera stick (this also means: no lock-on onto enemies, since the right stick needs to be pressed for this (when using an XBOX controller)? Originally, I wondered if one can beat O&S without using the camera, as a decent technique here is normally required in the fight to be able to always view what both of the two are doing. But I guess that a number of other bosses could become difficult (impossible?) without the camera+lock-on, too (Four Kings, for instance).

[@ibrahimrafii2160]

I believe he said that he will do challenges once he does a full playthrough of each game. He's almost done with DS2 so that shouldn't take too long.

[@thekaz5225]

Magic is OP in Ds1 and 2, but it kinda sux in 3. They heavy nerfed magic spell damage as well as Max damage potential. Although 3 offers a large variety, nothing comes close to the damage output that was possible in number 1 and 2.

[@tyrusdalet]

@@thekaz5225 well obviously. DS2 had Climax, which you could easily see doing 10k damage in certain scenarios if I remember correctly. In DS3; magic isn’t weak - except early game Miracle, and CSS still has the highest per-hit damage in the game. Honestly, I would love to see silly DS2 runs; the amount of spells in the game is amazing

[@mariorodrigues9212]

I love the way you do the transitions with the adds, it seems like I'm watching tv

[@ApokalypeTheBeardedBear]

I love that you use the Music of Zelda: Wind Waker. It is so nice in combination to your explanations and pictures. Nicely done. ^^ For Kalameet you could use some speedrunner tactics which allows you to kill him before using Gough.

[@ShadaOfAllThings]

Hey did you know that with your setup you could have actually killed Kalameet easier by letting him stay flying? Its a speedrun tactic, though it requires some precise positioning and knowledge of some tricks

[@speedlix4256]

I was gonna do my homework but I guess that plan just went out the window.

[@jigan001]

As someone who plays Souls games for about three hours and then never again, this was very cool and fun to watch lol

[@vegiminer]

Solid work my man! Hat tip from one no stamina enjoyer to another :D

[@deepism]

What are you thinking dude

[@dragonrelm7068]

Welcome back, glad to see this

[@ferininemailestrom5219]

Your use of kh1 hollow bastion music in the second half was amazing

[@The_American_Eagle]

The fact that I recognize a song from Castlevania Curse of Darkness here... Amazing. Thank you so very much for that small trip to nostalgia.

[@Nikita-ze8ii]

Bit off topic but really enjoying the Castlevania: Curse of Darkness appreciation through the music you use, game is way underrated

[@pr0to_zy431]

I hope to god this channel becomes one mil someday, Great content!

[@kebeiiii]

wow man the video quality has skyrocketed, good stuff man

[@jarrarwinks8470]

Holy shit! I have t watche you in three months because I got busy, and now you aren’t at 46 thousand! You were at like, not 20 thousand last time! Congrats dude! Now this is epic!

This challenge makes souls look like a ps1 game. First video of yours I’ve watched I already subscribed keep it up (-:

[@hushedwoodsman2582]

You are absolutely insane. Incredible respect man.

[@eatingostrich8815]

I was already thinking of subscribing, then you put the song of my favorite ps2 game (castlevania curse of darkness) insta sub!

[@Guanjyn]

This is the first video I’ve seen that made me want to try magic build in Dark Souls.

[@K_A_R2892]

Every time I watch one of your vids I think to myself, maybe I should give DS another chance, because man they look more than just a little bit impressive. This stuff is insane o.O

[@improvcomedy14]

The quality of these videos has gone up tremendously 👍

[@simoncodrington]

Nice playthrough mate

[@MagSun]

You are a very sick man! I like it 😊

[@morpheus_uat]

this is amazing, good job!

[@SquigglyDestroyerofWorlds]

Love the touch with the castlevania music

[@helge5565]

Literally the definition of “didn’t break a sweat” Also, yeah, power within is so great. The best part is that it’s pyromancy, so it’s very easy to add it to any build. I even used it in my first playthrough, where I’ve made the 40/40 claymore build with elite armor (there were armors with better stats, but elite knight set just looks the best)

[@Raupenkeimheimholer]

I completely lost my shit at the part around 17:55 when you go from calmly explaining a thought process to absolute madness! =D

[@nagwod9126]

I was waiting for this!

[@brianmcdelly7909]

Imagine if you got mask of the child for this run. Just for salt in the wound.

[@GamersWeekend]

No but I did get the Black Knight Halberd

[@michaelrozario6381]

First of all, fantastic video as always, the audio quality is phenomenal! The destroyer comment was absolute gold, but you miiiiiiight want to work on your maniacal laugh lol

[@GamersWeekend]

Oh yeah, it definitely wasn’t my best lol. I usually do this all in one take and didn’t hear how bad it was until after I was done 😅

[@michaelrozario6381]

@@GamersWeekend Hey, like all evil geniuses you gotta work at it, nobody is born with the perfect maniacal laugh lol
