Potato's are good. At making you understand, see the numbers. In that regard, firebomb are great. Crispy goodness.

[@Lamentationsofapoory]

I think the beauty of Dark Souls challenge runs isn't "Can I do it" it's "How long will it take me to do it?" Or "Should I do this?" Or my personal favorite: "Why am I doing this"

[@Jack-mt3fw]

More like “I’m gonna do this then flip a coin and hope not to die”

[@abysswatcher4907]

Haha this can be applied to any video game challenge run or simply life choices.

[@kingsly2275]

“Why am I doing this” sounds like the all Gwynn run aka EVERY enemy and eligible npc is Gwynn or a friendly t posing Gwynn

Oh damn, it's GW! Thanks for watching! To be honest I've been casually checking your channel once every few days to make sure I haven't missed your next video haha. Your MiraclesOnly run was inspired :)

[@Vampurrya]

Dude, give yourself credit too! GW was the first challenge runs I ever came across, and YOU helped me overcome my impatience and finally beat DS1. Now I'm hooked on the entire series. Both of you are amazing to the DS Community!

[@artisan2906]

oh my god.... the firebomb goddess was his wife, thats so sweet omg

[@authenticbaguette6673]

5:12 That's actually a speedrunning trick... Basically, you got hit and entered a stagger animation, and when that animation ended your character returned to its idle animation from which you can execute a dodge roll, which gives you i-frames as you already know, but what you might not know is that i-frames negate fall damage! Though, speedrunners usually accomplish this by either doing a plunging attack on a slope, or being at exactly 25.0008% equip load. Don't ask.

[@westonrobinson9399]

Awesome content. Also reminds me how much cleaner the wikidot was compared to the nightmare that is fextralife.

[@purehollow4460]

You actually did it also that's hollow knight music at the start and i love it

is there anyone else who rewatches this simply for background noise? something abt lemon makes his voice easy to listen to on repeat

[@Holacalaca]

I like the perspective some new players bring into dark souls, every first playthrough is a world of new opportunities. I personally love Alluring Skulls and wonder why more people dont use it to just run through areas without being bothered by enemies.

[@TheBacklogs]

You need not wonder.

[@Vampurrya]

I love how the DS Community has this stigma of toxicity and gatekeeping. I thought the same. Then I came across GamersWeekend doing challenge runs, and it piqued my interest. Now I realize DS is one of the most wholesome and welcoming communities ever. What the fans hate is people refusing to learn the game then spouting "gAmE iS TraSh wTf." Now I find myself watching every challenge run I come across. And let me say. This video is better than Gwyneveres giant, massive, voluptuous, rotund.........dedication to Sunlight. \\Praise the Sun Bro//

[@Abysalss]

What a lotta people don’t realize is gatekeeping like dark souls is a good thing, you should welcome new people who are willing to put in the minimum effort to engage with a community but when people just want to change it to suit their wants you shouldn’t change just so they don’t think you gatekeep

[@jonathanjoestar3785]

This is what made me always have a full stack of fire bombs on me during my first playthrough of Dark Souls Remastered. So many early game bosses fell to the fire bombs, as I used them as a crutch while I learned the game more as I wasn't used to the slower gameplay as I game hot off the heels of Elden Ring. Even got the finishing shot on Artorias because I used a black firebomb to force him into a dodge so I had an attack opening.

[@MineSlimeTV]

If I remember there could be a way to perform or at least place bombs on the side of the fog wall and for it to letting you have extra bombs in stock, by doing so you require to perform the "poop walk" patented name. But now that I remember I think it can only be done in the remaster version? you are able with this trick to have half of your animations speed, to just walk enoughin the fog wall and not trigger the boss ai Also binoculars are able to help you aim better and farther by first setting the throw and constantly throw Bombs at him precisely. Which I think is also the same way you precisely bomb the two spheres on the bed of chaos. If you are curious of more tricks a youtuber by the name of ymfah does wacky challenges that no same man does. So there is that too! I hope I was able to help in some way! But I assume other people tried to do so too! Also it is so charming to see you call your wife goddess It's so adorably cute and lovely Oh neat this is why you should watch the ending of videos. Now ds2 baby! And hey at least you can speed up your attack with adaptability. And I think tricks from ds1 still seem to work on the second and third. Which I think now they scale with stats
