Can You Beat DARK SOULS With Only The Darkhand?

Why there isn't a cool darkhand-esque shield in Elden Ring is anyone's guess, but NOT EVEN THE DRAGON BONE FIST WAS INCLUDED!?!?!??

I remember trying DS3 with only Darkhand thinking it'd be a fun challenge run only for it to be completely viable up to post-endgame

[@michaelcreel6522]

It is very useful to use this to bring down the dancer early if you want to access some weapon in the areas behind her. She is weak to dark, and the attacks are very low commitment since it is a fist weapon.

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

Yeah every single time I play ds3 I get the dark hand early and take out dancer for early titanite chunks, genuinely such a good strat

It being a tragic unwilling fight means it fits perfectly, love the undertale soundtrack

[@Necroes]

Few things; 1.) There are several points in the video where the music is so loud, it makes it difficult to hear you speak. 2.) Some of your black screens between parts are longer than they need to be. The most notable on is near the start. 3.) The choice to constantly cut to events that haven't happened yet in the video is an unique one, but it can make it hard to follow what's going on at times.

Yeah a few people have mentioned, I did my best to mask the reverb from my dodgy mic but obviously I went a little overboard 😬

[@DoktorTaiko]

I really like the editing style. The small introduction beforehand, focus on the important parts, and the comedy style is really good. Only the music should maybe be a little softer, especially when speaking at the same time, as music and voice are at about the same volume and therefore focussing on the voice is harder.

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

Yeah a few people pointed it out woops, was trying to mask the reverb from my dodgy mic but the persona soundtrack can be pretty aggressive 😬

[@DoktorTaiko]

@@sariuswasstolenalready Understandable attempt. As someone who doesn't know sound mixing or design, I cannot speak from experience, but as with everything in life, it's probably down to trial, error and practice. I am still pretty impressed by the editing and storyboard though. I feel like souls challenge run videos have developed a type of formula over the last few years, which is easy to recognize but not necessarily easy to recreate. So seeing there are not many videos on your channel, I'd say that part is implemented very well out of the box. My only idea to further improve that, would be to personalize the style a little more for more recognizability. You have your gigga chad character and personality when speaking, but maybe there is something neat, to be added. Bushy has the attempts and load out after every boss, zerolenny used to have his robot voice and now focuses more on himself, the backlogs has his overanalytical perspective and so on. I think this one is very hard to achieve, but being able to instantly say: this is sariuswasstolenalready and not JK Leeds, Meaty Jesus or whoever else could be beneficial. But at the end of the day, I'm only a stranger on the internet, giving you may opinion. As long as you're having fun, the most important part is taken care of and as a side effect quality will be high :)

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

Oh yeah I absolutely agree, I've fairly recently moved away from making very typical overwatch slop content to actually putting around 30 hours into a decent length video, but yeah I'm s l o w l y developing my own kind of style. Very VERY inspired by other channels that have done it a lot better though 😬

[@sariuswasstolenalready]

I considered that but I didn't want to pass up the challenge of actually being forced to beat the four kings with the DH, since the tension of the later bosses gives challenge videos like this their depth and makes people want to watch through it.
