Can You One-Shot Dark Souls? (The Backlogs One-Shot Challenge)

When Lemon AKA ‪@TheBacklogs‬ approached me and a bunch of other Souls runners with his modern-day version of ‪@vageta311‬'s classic one-shot challenge, I couldn't say no (literally, he threatened to firebomb me otherwise). So, here it finally is: can you one-shot Dark Souls?
All gameplay recorded on the PS5 edition of Dark Souls: Remastered.

Yeahhhhh, its about time I released this one... merry xmas I guess? Thank you all for your continued support this year, it means the world to me! Oh and don't worry, there's more cooking (my kitchen is on fire please send help)

[@SevereAmnesia]

merry christmas you rascal

[@alfonshasel1995]

Finallyyyyy! 🎉 Happy holidays

[@faithlessfear9943]

Would much rather you take your time and make great quality videos keep up the great work

[@masterpiecemike7273]

We let this man cook and he burned down the kitchen

[@captainxit5573]

Have A Safe & Happy Christmas!!!❤

[@TheBacklogs]

Just so we are clear, the amount of trauma you endured at the hands of Manus was slightly less than the flashbacks of unending suffering I just got from that Lion King : The Videogame soundtrack you snuck in there. So as far as I'm concerned, we're even.

[@GrubThompson]

😮

[@themangoartificer882]

But unfortunately dying to manus and missing dusk makes it that much more painful

[@cherkv]

He killed dusk already

[@Satvara_2783]

Is there any checklist available for enemies = points in this run?.. Because I really wish to try this challenge.

[@artempozdniakov2850]

I suppose I'm lucky I don't know which one that is, but could someone throw in a timestamp? Curious

[@GamersWeekend]

How to tell if there’s a member of this challenge in the vicinity: Scream the number 6033, see who begins crying in a PTSD fit

[@BaronsCastle]

I'm gonna get T-shirts with 6033 printed on them for us all to wear

[@StardustCorvid]

The number "6033" is gonna haunt you lot for the rest of your lives, isn't it?

[@AdamSlander888]

I wouldn’t cry but I would probably scream and hide even though I was never part of the challenge (I did it on my own accord and I regret it completely)

[@AM90715]

I don't get it?

[@GallantBlade475]

@@AM90715 6033 is the amount of damage that three hits of Fire Tempest will do to Manus with a max pyro flame, if you don't get any counter hits. It's just barely not enough to kill him, and so you'll see that number a lot as you're fishing for counter hits.

[@PressContinue]

Aaaah, reminding me of the 6033 PTSD. The perfect Christmas present! Thank you Santa Castle!

[@BaronsCastle]

ho ho ho

[@jayewrite1256]

Meaty Jesus won, at least that’s my guess because I don’t think anyone else got all 130 points

[@royartorius]

@@BaronsCastle There is a "translate to english" option for your comment that translates it to "yes yes yes" 🧐

[@christianstachl]

It's nice to see that every runner had the same "fun" with Manus 😅

[@Lickicker]

Itd be hilarious if one of them did manus in like 3 tries and just pissed everyone else off

[@Gaisegaming]

it does happen not 100% which video it's in. doomwolf i think.@@Lickicker

[@voids4818]

@@Lickickerthe one try one shot would be DEVASTATING to any future challenge runner lol

[@JKLeeds]

Well I had only just gotten over the trauma of trying to one shot Manus and now this video has brought it all back....on Xmas eve. So....thanks? 😢🎄

[@BluePrism04]

It’s green man, hello pseudo shrek

[@dammagraham5345]

Your run was awesome dude

[@captainstanley4050]

Baron should do a one shot run on Dark Souls 3. Also if baron doesn't do it he will eat a pickled peanut egg with a side of raw chicken with vomit as a drink

6033, the number it haunts me Also f in the chat for not getting the extra dusk point, because of Manus lol

The king.... er Baron has returned! Hell Yeah!

[@benknightbus1729]

If you mix them together, you get Baring, like the sound a rotary phone makes

[@purplehaze2358]

To be fair, I think we can all agree that stairs are the hardest bosses in these games. So hard that it's literally impossible to beat them.

[@Shiny-4ddr]

And ladders, don't forget the ladders!

[@jaredcrabb]

​@@Shiny-4ddr Oh yeah, fuck ladders. Including real ones.

[@tserrofz9]

ive been waiting for Lemon's video so long im glad theres more of this

[@Tsuki_the_canadian_otaku]

When theres literal twrabytes of footage its gonna take awhile lol, we have no choice but to wait

[@GhostIsAYandere]

Backlogs x baron castle, truly the collaboration we deserve

[@Cyalide]

Every Dark Souls Runner favorite gift... Pain! Brought to you by The Baron himself. Good to see Manus was just as co-operative for you as the others and have some happy Holidays Baron Cheers

[@irfanhossain6060]

the dark bead spell trick on the centipede shows how much detail and effort is put into fromsoft games.

You mean ceaseless?

​​@@dogehkiindogeborn5339 I don't get how people still think this. it's clearly intentional

[@parris.m]

I’ve been binging most of your videos for the past 3 to 4 weeks. This makes me very happy.

[@stepwise2765]

These challenge videos are just straight up masochism and I love them.

[@davidlejenkins]

These videos bring me so much joy. All the love in the world my dude!

[@TheMoogleKing93]

This reminds of my first playthrough, except you one hit all the enemies.

[@watcherofthehollow5223]

Merry Christmas! Keep up the amazing videos! I could never see myself being patient enough to do that.

[@78aray]

Stumbled onto your one-shot Kos adventure while I was fumbling around through some Bloodborne videos. My sweet lord, you and your channel are outstanding! Seriously some of the most entertaining content I’ve seen on KZbin in a long while. Cheers to you and thank you for the videos!

[@tuduman9917]

Man that Orchid's Killer Instinct tune made me go back to my youth days sooooo badly! Thx Baron! Another masterpiece! You are my fav youtuber and when I have a proper job with proper money I will for sure support your channel. You make me smile and laugh in my roughest hours. Cheers from Brazil

[@justinkroboth360]

Seeing you parry and destroy one of those Anor Londo snipers was cathartic. I'll never not hate them, hah. Cheers, Baron, and happy holidays, mate! Also, that Disgaea music BRINGS ME BACK, holy shit!

[@manosbouzoubouzou1386]

And here I was worried, that we wouldn't get a Baron video, before the end of the year. Awesome as always Baron, loved the video as always and have been rewatching previous ones all the time during my break. I hope you have an awesome new year man.

[@talonalexander2849]

I love the editing, I love the humor and I love this video

[@RauschenPauli]

as it turns out. yes you can. not a challange for our mad god baron and happy holidays!

Great choice of music! Haven't heard the Tombi/Tomba OST in quite a while.

[@shashank06071]

Nice Christmas present thanks Baron 🎉🎉

[@SondreGrneng]

For an instant you had me believing Lemon had finally released his video lol. NOPE.

[@jade..y]

I’ve watched many dark souls challenge runs before, but this is the first of yours I’ve seen, and I must say, this is enjoyable

[@andrewsebree4333]

Unironically, loved the Dark Cloud 2 music at the end🤣

[@IronMind92]

Thank you for blessing us with another S Tier video. Just in time for Christmas! Merry Christmas Baron

[@KylarStern244]

at 17:40 omg dwarven village theme from Tomba 1 XD

[@VileLasagna]

Shoutout to all the Disagea songs

[@legitplayin6977]

Props for using the best MGR song in the beginning

[@chesed6269]

If anyone was curious, the song that plays during the centipede demon and Gwyndolin segment is called Panther from the Armored Core 4 OST.

[@toneprime3622]

Look I know that's a shitpost, but there is actually a spider that produces milk, Baron. Not even joking.

[@ZombMastr64]

God Bless your souls for using Lamprey at the end and giving me back some of the childlike wonder I'd lost along the years

[@finalboss4121]

27:27 omg! I did not expect anyone in this planet that would put this banger in their video! Man this game was so f*cking good and it has a lot of crazy soundtracks like this one

[@johnlangbehn7321]

I love you and the backlogs equally and every time you guys upload is awesome 😎 plz keep uploading every video is a banger❤

Man I love the DS challenge running community. Baron, Lemon, GW, PC- The way y'all interact is just really nice Also haha 6033 PTSD go brrrr

After watching the meatyjesus video, your solution to ceaseless is so much more simple. 😂

19:47 I was not ready to hear Panther from Armored Core 4 as the background song, damn that gave me good flashbacks.

Those sly Monty Python's Life of Brian references made my day.

[@GersonTadeuGames]

26:19 This is possible, but only on PTDE. There's a channel named Somethodox, that did this challenge years ago, and he did the 4 kings in one attack.

[@TheBezixx]

Also Meaty Jesus did it by using Fire Surge in a single, continuous cast.
