Can you beat Dark Souls Remastered with ONLY Consumables? | (Dark Souls Remastered CHALLENGE)

And this is how Kyle single handedly revitalized the economy of Lordran and allowed the three merchants to retire as millionaires Really awesome job on the DLC by the way and let 2022 be an even better year for your channel!

[@ibrahimrafii2160]

Great video as always! I was there live while you were fighting Artorias. I have a challenge idea but idk if it was suggested before. Can you beat Dark Souls without souls? Basically anything that costs souls is not allowed. So for example; no leveling up, no buying items, no upgrading and no repairing.

[@YourDapper1]

That is a good one

[@YourDapper1]

And also kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3_NdIeletRgsLs

[@emeraldwolf7920]

Yes you can it is pretty easy actually

[@ibrahimrafii2160]

@@emeraldwolf7920 Yeah I'm aware that it's by no means impossible but so are around half the runs Kyle does. I phrased it that way because that's roughly how he could title it. It's basically a harder SL1 run. I'm curious if not being able to repair weapons will force him to vary his weapons more and weapons that aren't upgraded are a lot weaker than fully upgraded ones. Anyways the point is that it isn't nearly as hard as consumables only but he might need a break from such hard challenges since he might go crazy haha.

"delete agenda and wait a moment" I wish the poorly translated mod got this instead of "Dragonslayer Ornstein" (literally unchanged) and "Beautiful Craftsman"

[@arellajardin8188]

If you ever want an “easy” challenge that people still enjoy watching, try Fist weapons (punching and claws). If that’s too easy, narrow it to punching weapons only. Still too easy? Vanquisher Ring in DS2. I had a lot of fun with Caestus/Bone Fist in DS2. DS1 challenge is just getting to Andre without a weapon. DS3 is a real pain, because you have to get through Gundyr and Vordt with tickles.

[@jarrarwinks8470]

In ds3 I just dodge, or use a shield, and also go for highest strength, helps with latter parts of the game. Then ds1 isn't so bad, since the one boss you have to kill is easy. But ds2, thats easier at least for me with fist weapons only.

[@permafrozen7696]

I have a massive skill issue and was making a senator armstrong build so i limited myself to fists only (and by extension fist weapons) but I somehow managed to beat gundyr 3rd try and vordt 6 - 7th try

[@arellajardin8188]

@@permafrozen7696 Congrats on tickling them to death!

[@ixflqr]

Vanquisher ring is easy and fun. Maybe that + no rolling would be a major challenge though

[@TheeKing313YouTube]

Funnily enough I'm doing an fist only run in DS1 only allowing Caestus as equipable weapons and shields to block or parry, let me tell you early game feels like hell but by the time you get through Sen's Fortess you'll be doing decent with the caestus I'm at dlc though and the difficulty spike is back, but I might be underleveled

[@TheOracleofClocks]

After seeing that Artorias fight, I DO believe in miracles! Nicely done, you madman.

[@smokesystem90]

These kinds of challenges really show how well thought out and balanced souls games are.

[@Seraphim_1172]

You should try to beat every Dark Souls 1 boss with its own weapon. So beat Asylum Demon with the Demons Great Hammer, Taurus Demon with the Demons Great Axe (I think?), Moonlight Butterfly with the Crystal Ring Shield, Gargoyles with the Gargoyle Tail Axe, etc etc. This will obviously have to be done in NG+ since you can't use a boss soul to make a weapon to fight the same boss you got the soul from. But still, I think it would be a pretty cool idea. (Killing Seath with the Moonlight Greatsword, Sif with Artorias' Greatsword, Gwyn with his Greatsword, I think watching those would be really fun.)

[@Hopeful_Husker]

Moonlight Butterfly you could also get the Moonlight Butterfly Horn (a spear that does purely magic damage) Although, Ceaseless Discharge, Centipede Demon, Stray Demon, Bed of Chaos, and Four Kings don't drop a boss soul that you can transpose. That run could still be really fun to watch

[@Seraphim_1172]

@@Hopeful_Husker You raise a good point. I didn't think of that at first. Hmm.... Maybe killing them with the weapon from the boss before them? Or armor of thorns just to make Kyle rage again 😂 But yea maybe killing Four Kings with Artorias' Greatsword because Artorias was suppose to conquer the Abyss? And Stray Demon with the Demons Great Hammer, since it's basically just an AOE spam Asylum Demon? Idk the specifics but the ones that it does work with would be cool. If I was good at the game I would try but I have 12+ hours and haven't even beaten Quelag yet 😭

[@Seraphim_1172]

@@cuddlequeen3225 Fairly certain she's highly resistant, but I know she's not immune. For one, Witch Beatrice is her summon. For two, I fought her as a sorcerer, default catalyst and 30 soul arrows, only did 34 damage per arrow at intelligence 20. Heavy soul arrow did 76-ish. So highly resistant. Then again I've been playing the original on the ps3, not the remaster.

[@boletarianbread7349]

Delete Agenda and Wait A Moment sound like stand names

[@michaeltate6367]

Challenge idea: starting gear only. Whatever armor, shield, and weapon(s) you start with are the only things you can use. I'd probably allow rings (since you have to wear the ring for 4 kings) and I'd allow upgrading your weapon/armor, but you could try without. I think starting class choice is interesting. If you pick sorcerer, for example, you start with a catalyst so you can actually use sorceries, but you're stuck with your garbage armor and shield.

[@matthewhamilton2287]

So, basically, a normal sorcery build?

[@josephsidorko5375]

I like this a lot but I feel like getting any new sorceries kills the fun of it. Especially cuz they're so damn busted. Personally I feel like Knight would be the best for it and just upgrade that endurance quick

[@ThomasBlakely-f4x]

I don't know if you guys have seen it yet, but the Wanderer class is kinda broken. Like, it MELTS health bars. My only issue when I tried it was, and it was my own skill issue, haha, the Hydra in Deeproot Basin was a little tricky to beat. But other than that, it was fun.

[@MaeIsOkay]

Great run, and I appreciate you putting the music used in the corner

[@olargol2284]

You can dodge all the magic attacks of Manus without the pendant though For the ''rain attack" sprint in a straight line (though he can hit you himself while you are doing that. Usually he roars achieving nothing though) For the attack that looks like dark bead roll sideways (more than once if needed) For the attack where the dark orbs come at you in a circle just run towards Manus. The circle doesn't come to a full close For me at least this is easier than using the pendant, because i don't have to manage the consumable bar all the time

[@Hound_Manix]

Something I find funny about the OG darksouls challenge runs specifically Artorias is almost ALWAYS a roadblock for one reason or another, with the kings being a close second.

[@becomingsentient1208]

FromSoftware: teaching us all new thresholds of patience. Can't wait for the DS2 Pyro run. Getting both the Dark Pyro Flame from The Gutter, and a Fragrant Branch to free Rosabeth, before you can attack will be interesting.

[@Br1anwastaken]

​@@YourDapper1u can still do it tho!

[@DungeonsAndDerps]

I have an idea for a challenge that might not be very difficult, but certainly interesting. "Can you beat Dark Souls by over-preparing as much as possible?" What I mean by that is that you have to defeat every enemy with the best / most effective damage type, basically trying to counter every enemy in the game. The actual damage output isn't important, so you can't just use the same overpowered weapon for everything - it's more about the damage being efficient. Skeletons have to be defeated with a blunt divine weapon. Demons have to be killed with a Black Knight Weapon and so on. It won't be very difficult, but I think it would be interesting to watch you plan ahead and get the items you need to be prepared for every encounter.

[@jmv333]

Gosh I love this vid, even watching you do challenges I've seen others do is so much fun. A really fun challenge that I have never seen done is something like a Dark Souls 1 Strength Penalty challenge. Essentially, you can only do damage by using melee weapons you lack the strength to swing, this causes stamina expensive, slow swings that do greatly reduced physical damage, but elemental damage is normal so that can be a big help. I think it would be very cool :D

[@WhitedevilEE]

I highly recommend it, it's not too hard at all and it might be a good idea to go magic, pyromancy, and miracles (in order of difficulty) so it ramps up gradually

[@redgeoblaze3752]

For me it's a challenge to remember to use consumables. They're just not useful enough for me to bother.

[@badjokezach6359]

You definitely deserve a like and a sub for spending nearly an hour each on those three boss fights. Well done.

[@lucasmarquesdecamargos4298]

One thing that helps this (insane) challenge is the fact that consumables do inflict more counter damage, like normal weapons. So you could optimize the consumption of items by attacking during their attack animations.

[@a.gabrielarchibald5291]

This is something that I have seen speeruners struggle with, specially in randomized runs: Can you Beat DS1 by being extremely overweighted? I think the max amount of overweightness??? I think is over 150% max weight... So thought this would be a ridiculous challenge...

[@carlosnascimento7566]

Dude, I’ve missed you haha Happy 2022 and praise the sun!

[@Worn1]

I'm gonna call it rn. If you do DS2 Scholar hexes only, it'll probably be the easiest or second easiest magic run overall. Scorceries might be easier but idk for sure

[@becomingsentient1208]

I'm midway through that now as a super-casual. Hexes give you a ton of power, but attunement slots are a real bottleneck. Push 30/30 INT/FAI immediately and then absolutely shove into ATN. Great Resonant Soul will get so strong that your Soul consumables are practically ammo. Dark Fog is fantastic for poison chip damage on Dark-resistant foes. And Darklurker can even be silenced with Profound Still. Sorcery might actually be toughest this time. So much of your damage comes from single-target Soul Arrow derivatives that just don't keep up as well as Lightning Spears, and if you get swarmed you don't have many options until Soul Greatsword. Sniping is key.

Without a doubt the best way to watch a DS challenge run
