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

Having the Stray Demon kill Oscar the second time is especially humiliating, considering the Asylum Demon is the one who mortally wounds him the first time.

[@PressContinue]

Yeah, this wasn't Oscar's best day...

[@Shirker12]

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.

[@paolomarucchi-chierro4930]

I feel like this run was particularly well suited to press. Due to his habit of falling out of skyscrapers😂😂

[@PressContinue]

That happens... occasionally

[@ChosenOne41]

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

[@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

[@bar7381]

You could do a round shields only run with a pie chart texture on them lol

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

[@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.

Ah, dammit. Didn't come to mind.

[@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.

[@muckus_the_macka7340]

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

​@@muckus_the_macka7340I never really had a problem with it aside from the Four Kings

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@innoc4063]

This man's seemingly effortless ability to create puns at every possible moment is something to behold.

[@myrocketbunny545]

You can't believe how happy you made me as soon as I've registered you actually renamed the name above the bosses health bar to fork kinks You're just the best

I love the speed up applied to the music. It reminds me of the days where I would press the play button halfway down on the tape deck to make it play fast

[@PressContinue]

Ah the good old days of cassette tapes

[@MicroMidas]

22:43 "Thrust me" ^^

[@GuyXVIII]

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 😮

[@xDmindless]

Just saw Ween play Loop De Loop live, that mini intro gave me a nice flashback lol

I know this is old, but recently a new way to move swap has been found, allowing you to completely swap the move sets of weapons. You can now fall on your face with a broken sword. Or something stupider, like swinging a dagger as if it were the heaviest thing in the world. Just some new cursed run ideas.

[@JacobT-1]

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.

[@aclaymushroomwithaberet7084]

I find it impressive on where I think he's managed to break the game totally and run out of things to do, he always manages to come back with certified bangers like this and I become *gobsmacked*

[@grfrjiglstan]

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.

[@danbrown4420]

Your humour and wit is impeccable sir, always got the best puns 😂

[@atomicanachronism8849]

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

[@ghostknight1352]

i'm quite late but if you ever read this, 37:00 artorias probably isn't left handed and that was just a mistake in one artwork, you can tell he is right handed because of his armor, that shoulder plate would never be placed in your dominant hand, because it's to help stabilize the shield arm, and it would greatly hinder one's ability to swing a sword

[@PressContinue]

Yeah that might indeed be the case. It would make more sense for his shield arm to be broken and him discarding it to protect sif.

[@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.

non respawning enemies do not reset position when you rest at bonefire but only when you die.

[@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.

[@andreastoihos3931]

On 20:22 yes the scarecrow had a gun. This was before the invention of hyperarmour, when poise was a thing. But yes low brain as workers garb has low poise, silly scarecrow 😂
