Dark Souls, But I Fall On My Face Every Time I Attack

Dark Souls remastered challenge run using only the special R2 falling attack when two-handing the four pronged plow. However, with an additional mod to make the falling animation occur even when hitting your target. So in essence, I'm trying to beat Dark Souls with my shoelaces untied. And as an additional challenge I cannot wear any armor and I have to upgrade down the occult upgrade path.

I never used this weapon in DS1, but I do remember having fun with it in PvP in DS3 when it first launched. I lost a lot, but I got a few messages from people saying they couldn't stop laughing, so that's a win to me.

It's funny that drinking Estus has a faster recovery animation than an attack in this run

[@manjackson2772]

Fun fact: Wanderer is the only class other than Pyromancer that doesn't get short-changed on its soul level. Pyro and Wanderer both would have 86 total stats at SL1, everyone else has 82-85.

[@ganon1028]

Gotta appreciate the Press grindset of making puns even when streaming a stressful boss fight

[@incendiary6243]

I love how logical it is to have a mechanic like this, but how comical it was implemented for this weapon, and how little they cared to carry it forward

[@grfrjiglstan]

I love how consistent of a problem the lock-on in the Four Kings fight is on this channel. For those who don't know: their lock-on point is on their upper chest, and the fact that they twist around so much means that the point will often be to the side of, or even behind you, making strictly forward facing attacks very unreliable.

As someone who platinumed ds1........DON'T USE LOCK-ON IN GENERAL IT SUCKS 😂

[@windflier1684]

@@An_Entire_Lime You never had any problem when fighting enemies with the lock on camera in a souls game? like how the camera had a seizure zooming in and out while it's close to a wall, lock on randomly unlocks when the enemy jumps around, etc? you must have a very special copy of dark souls then

[@SuperJotunn]

It took me most of the video to realise when you were saying the 'pike charge only run' that that's what you were saying. I kept hear 'pie charts only run' and was absolutely mystified by what that could be hahahaha. Excellent run!

[@PressContinue]

Ironically, you're not even the first one

[@blondieanon]

I like how challenge runs like this show that you can effectively make like a JRPG protagonist and flail your way into killing the creator of existence. Doesn't take skill. Doesn't take some godly weaponry. Just takes fumble after fumble. After fumble.

It may be that "unique" enemies don't reset when sitting at bonfires. I remember the black knight in Undead Berg chased me all the way to the bonfire and refused to poof when I sat there. First playthro memories aaaah.

[@nicholasavasthi9879]

That is correct. Technically the game is respawning all of the enemies that are reset at a bonfire. However non-respawning enemies aren’t affected by that as the game will never respawn them. So bonfire resets don’t affect them.

[@Soapy-chan]

and i thought that was an issue with DSR 😮

Given all the flopping around with an occult weapon, I'm saurprised there were no "Unholy Diver" jokes

Funny enough, the first time I beat the game I used the pitchfork. I was playing on a crap laptop at 20fps as a mage and I just couldn't handle Gwyn, so I put on a shield and used great magic shield so that I didn't take any stamina damage and just poked him to death.

Pun after pun after pun was hitting me hard. In a good way. Your ability and the creativity in some of the jokes is outstanding. Makes me think your intellect on top of however you got good at English is where a lot of that comes from. Like, you have much different perspective, wiring, and flexibility in thinking about what words to use/combine and when. Some of the puns catch me by surprise and sometimes it takes a while for me to get. That really makes your work unique and great. Was happy to catch some of this playthrough live. Congratulations on beating this game, again, with another piece of equipment I never heard of. Press has serious diligence.

[@atomicanachronism8849]

A fork+knife run would actually be pretty neat, although I don't have any idea on how to make it non-trivial

[@haku8135]

Fun Fact- Artorias is NOT left handed. He wields his sword in his dominant right hand, and a SHIELD in his left. That's why his LEFT arm is broken, because that's what happens when you block an attack with a shield from Manus one too many times. Artorias is weakened because he is now insane from the Abyss and he's down an arm, not because he's left handed. This rumor actually started because, I don't really know, I think Dark Souls 2, the souls game that is objectively the worst, says he is like once for some reason. Also most of the internet is stupid, so that helped. But no, he's right handed.

[@Markshadow4999]

The Scarecrow only has a gun in one scene - the one right after they’re told to go kill the Wicked Witch of the West. The Cowardly Lion is also holding a big cartoon hammer, so the implication is that they all got geared up to kill the witch. Picture the “Guns, lots of guns” scene from the Matrix, but with Scarecrow instead.

21:15 this is the same with every not respawning enemy

[@silvercandra4275]

The reason the Gargoyle in Anor Londo, and Oscar of Astora don't go back to their position when you sit at a bonfire, is because they don't respawn. There's only one of them, and after they're killed they're gone. For some reason, all enemies (afaik at least) that don't respawn, also don't get reset when you sit at a bonfire. Another one this happens with is the Berenike Knight in the church. He follows you all the way over to Andre's bonfire, and while he's too big to fit through the door, you can observe him walking back to his spawn, instead of just appearing there, after you sit down.
