Can you beat EVERY Dark Souls boss with a different weapon material?

[@JKLeeds]

Really cool video idea! DS1 can be hard to come up with new challenges for given how much has been done with it over the years but you both succeeded and executed it well. I like your chill commentary 👌

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you, it also means a lot to hear that from a fellow challenge runner!

[@JKLeeds]

@eleumloycee also crazy fact, I've got like 500+ hours in DS1 and I never knew until watching this video that you could drop below the lift in Firelink Shrine!

[@eleumloycee]

@@JKLeeds I swear these games are crazy you can always find new things just when you think you've discovered everything

[@timtom2284]

I realy like your idea of doing more creative challenge runs . I personally have grown a bit tired of all the no hit/ no damadge and low damadge runs as they all fell kind off the same after a while . So i find your more creative approach to a challenge run quite intriguing. Keep up the good work

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you, I thought it was a pretty interesting idea too, so I'm glad I was able to make it work!

[@Lank891]

I agree with you so much, the challenge runs with restrictions that require creative thinking, designing routes, and overcoming obstacles are much more interesting than "I can use only weapon X that is very good early but very bad late" and is basically the same video as others but with slightly different move set.

[@unnameduser5647]

agree The best challenge run i have ever seen was "can you beat ds1 in alphabetical order" and the amount of different approaches to solve the oncomming issues were just amazing. The bosses themselve moved out of focus there and i like that

[@stingerjohnny9951]

If you like wacky souls challenges, Baron’s Castle, JKLeeds, and TheBacklogs are all pretty good as well.

[@eleumloycee]

Thank you! I do put a lot of effort into making challenge runs like this work

[@speedblast714]

A similar challange idea I've had for years is something from fallout 4 (though can probably apply to all fallout games) is a challange where you beat the game without using anything from the old world, not including mandatory quest items , so all healing items you have to grow and make yourself, all weapons and outfits you must gather material and craft yourself, the goal is to prove that despite the world ending , humanity can learn to thrive and overcome without having to use the leftovers of the past

To be completely honest, when I first started watching your last video, I expected to end up feeling bored, and listening to it in the background while I did something else. To my surprise, my Xbox ended up going to sleep, because I had put my controller down and just been watching. I'm very pleased to say that this video has been just as successful in keeping me engaged, and as someone with a couple thousand hours in DS1/2/3/R, I'm genuinely impressed with what you've come up with and accomplished here. Incredible setup, phenomenal performance, and thank you for sh*tting on Capra Demon. I look forward to your future ideas and ventures!

I'm so glad to hear that it wasn't too boring, I guess because it was a Minecraft inspired challenge it ended up being unexpected right lol

@@eleumloycee Definitely! The inspiration coming from somewhere so radically different made this incrediby unique in concept, and your explanations and execution are concise and informative, which is a major plus!

Ik a bunch of people for sure have already said this but the creativity of these challenges so far have been so nice, and so entertaining. You really seem to be getting a hang of this already, I’m loving every second of it. If you could think of a challenge to do, maybe something in dark souls 3 or Elden Ring would be cool? Just for some diversity. But ultimately, whatever you find most fun so the best for everyone. Also don’t feel bad about those 17 gwyndolin deaths. I still haven’t even fought him once. Anyways, keep it up❤

[@lordkritz9775]

Oh also also also, what are your thoughts on something like streaming? I know it’s kind of early to ask a question like that, but I was really curious. If it’s something you’d like to do eventually, I’d love to tune into that!

I think for a milestone or holiday event I might consider streaming specials, but I don't know when yet

[@Korinomi]

Glad to see you coming back with another video so soon excited to watch as soon as I get some time

[@Korinomi]

I just finished the video. I love the comedy and the creativity of the run. Once again, you knocked it out of the park in terms of production quality. Overall, fantastic job. I can't wait to see what you work on next. Plus, I love seeing some of the passion for animals come through in your content; it gives us a little bit of personality to go along with the amazing content. I'm curious: what other types of games do you enjoy, and do you have any plans to cover things outside of the Souls series? Also, a small tip for Gwendolyn because you were having a few issues if he does the soul mass hug the pillars tight. Run and roll through the soul spears and crossbow shots and you'll have tons of time to punish

[@eleumloycee]

Wow, thank you so much! Yep, I do have a passion for animals, my cat who jumped on the keyboard turned 17 this year, I love her so much! About your other question, I like all kinds of games like Minecraft, visual novels, DDR, etc. Right now I don't have any plans to do other games on this channel PS thanks for the tip :D

[@xSimone92x]

I watch a LOT of dark souls challenge runs and so I really enjoyed this refreshing take. It was really fun and creative how you fit different weapons in to make it all work out. Excellent!!

[@mightystu49]

What a fun idea for a run! You were harder on yourself than I would have been,, in that i would count the lava of chaos pyromancies as separate from regular fire, and I would count dark sorceries as their own thing too. Maybe for Halloween do a spooky run where you can only use items (weapons, armor, and spells) made from bones or that specifically say they're evil or scary like the evil eye ring or the server. Maybe you need to kill all major bosses, like lord soul bosses, with a different spooky weapon or evil magic. That or like a vampire run where you can only heal with lifesteal effects? I could see it being fun in any of the games, really.

[@eleumloycee]

I think that could be a fun way to spice it up if you decide to do a similar challenge! Also, I am planning a simple challenge for Halloween, so I'll see if it works out!

[@NanoSwarm]

I counted 17 for that one boss. Also, you should make up a Minecraft challenge run. You could start with the unupgraded warpick (pickaxe) and leather armor, after you "mine" in the depths or blighttown you could upgrade to an iron axe and armor, and then when you reach Dukes Archives, you can use crystal (diamond) weapons and the crystal armor set for the rest of the game.

Such a strange idea that I've never seen before, can't wait to get into the video❤

[@ElementEvilTeam]

Here's a challenge: beat every boss using only (black) firebombs

[@NightZap]

How about a Boss cosplay run, where you always fight bosses by cosplaying as the previously fought boss. So you start off by killing Asylum Demon with the Great Lord set and the Great Lord Greatsword (as the last boss you fought was Gwyn in the previous cycle), and then for the next boss after that you slug it out with the Demon's Greathammer and no armor. Highlight of the run would be swapping in the middle of the O&S fight after killing one of them. This would probably require NG++ to truly get everything in time, as Gwyn's set can only be gotten in NG+ after killing Asylum Demon, but if it's just supposed to be a fun run of figuring out fun ways to emulate the bosses and in which order to face them to use builds that are effective against a particular boss, I don't see the issue in just using Cheat Engine to get all the equipment early enough, such as getting Quelaag's Furysword to fight Iron Golem even though you can't forge it until reaching Arnor Londo.

[@eleumloycee]

This sounds interesting, I think like you said it could be arranged in NG+ even without cheat engine
