Can you beat Dark Souls with ONLY 1HP & NO STAMINA?

[@tototriceps]

Now i am thinking, is something similar doable for Dark Souls 3 as well? Go follow me on Twitch for weekly streams: bit.ly/Tototriceps

[@TheMoogleKing93]

Press Continue did a No Stamina run in DS3 and it was completely miserable lol. But notably you have to face tank a lot of hits since you don't have any ranged attack options, because spells now use stamina. So no I don't think it's possible but please print me wrong!

[@birbwatcher5515]

i played something like this in ds3, but get annoyed pretty soon so i quit. probly it's doable, but you need to have time and patience

[@benro6564]

I like challenges like this which are actually kind of a puzzle and require a different approaches to stuff that's normally easy. Way more interesting than stuff like broken sword only, where the approach is exactly the same but it takes forever.

[@makiiavely]

i thought the same during the blighttown poison part. Having to get all of those buffs and combining different strats just to get through an environmental hazard sounds like a metroidvania or a zelda game with emerging gameplay to me tbh

[@tototriceps]

Spot on my friend. Most interesting challenges for me are the ones that require creative staregies instead of just pure skill, makes the challenge and the video much more fun :D

[@makiiavely]

@@tototriceps the thing is the designers make these big ass games with tons of things that next to no one uses (i'm talking things pointless items for example), and they kinda funnel you into a set strategy, like "this is how the game is meant to be played". But then mfs like you come and completely bend and warp using mods and cheat engines that kill the designers' intent, yet the mechanics are so absurdly robust and well put together and you guys so skilled that they're still beatable, albeit in the most obscure way imaginable

[@smogipierogi]

I saw some of the streams for this run, and I gotta say after all that struggle you have to have Catholic Saint levels of humility Toter

[@tototriceps]

"Catholic Saint levels of Humility" is just a great phase haha. Glad you enjoyed :D

[@MikeHawk0800]

So is "humble" just your way of saying "insecure"? Is he in actuality ashamed of himself and hates himself like a broken abuse victim in need of mental help, attracting sadistic oxygen-wasting viewers like you who enjoy him putting himself down like a broken animal? 😆 What a plague!

[@squishybrick]

This really sums up most challenge runs for me in dark souls, and kind of the game as a whole.. It all boils down to a single phrase. "It's not hard, it's just annoying." Some games are easy to learn, hard to master.. Dark souls is the perfect example of a game that is hard to learn, but easy to master. The difficulty starts off crazy high, but similar to cup-head, the second you start memorizing enemy's moves, you just enter a state of focus, and suddenly you're first-trying bosses like nothing.

[@tototriceps]

"Dark souls is the perfect example of a game that is hard to learn, but easy to master." I actually think its the opposite. But i am speaking from a Speedrunning/Challenge Running point of view so its probably not gonna be like that for most people...

[@renegaderaven3777]

I forgot about the “Thanks Obama” mod. It’s been years. 🤣

[@zylo4029]

13:45 Sorcery can in fact kill the snake guy at the prison. Well, one sorcery can at least, Dark Fog from the DLC. Getting to Dark Fog without any crystal sorcery would have been hell so Great Chaos Fireball was the better option anyway, but I can’t not point it out Also. Congrats on the run, very impressive

For Blight town you could have used the ring that protects you from poisen which is accessible after gargoyles. Respect brother for completing the run

[@Strohbergung]

shouldnt power within instantly kill you because you only have 1 hp? why didnt it damage you?

[@cyberjesus9971]

I'd like to know too!

[@cyberjesus9971]

Just found out: The amount of damage drained is always rounded down. So if your character's max HP is at 99 then it'll calculate 0.99 damage (the 1% drain) and then round it down to 0.

[@tototriceps]

Yep, it just doesnt when you are bellow 100 maximum HP. Which in a normal playrhrough cannont happen, unless you cheat the game.

[@hauptmann25]

@@tototriceps There are some shenanigans with getting cursed, the dusk crown ring and the sanctus shield that you also dont lose hp while using power within and being in constant RTR range tough.

[@movezig5]

You can also get the Tin Crystallization Catalyst by just killing Logan. The only thing that changes if you finish his questline is that you can find his clothes and Logan's Catalyst in a chest where he used to be in the archives.

[@tototriceps]

At which point of the questline can you kill him to still get the catalyst?

[@rebbeca5967]

Beyond the fact that this is extremely cool and very impressive, I am really curious to see how you get through the Demon Ruins and Lost Izaleth

[@insertedgynamehere___969]

Spoilers: Most of it gets skipped, because short cut

[@tototriceps]

You use the Shortcut by giving the Fair Lady 30 hummanities. For the rest you just use Hidden Body and walk past everything. You never need to step into the lava!

[@movezig5]

Nobody ever bothers to pick up Logan's Catalyst. If you're just after the Tin Crystalization Catalyst, you can just kill Logan, by the way.

[@tototriceps]

During the duration of the spell 100 visual pulses (1 per sec) will happen. On each of those pulses, the player loses 1% of their max HP (rounded down). This also means, that a player having a maximum HP of something that is not divisible by 100 will survive the full duration of the spell with minimal HP left.
