Can you beat Dark Souls Remastered WITHOUT SOULS? | (Dark Souls CHALLENGE)

[@hand_of_sithis2575]

It took me 10 minutes to realize his character was a ginger. In a Soulless run. *sighs in redhead*

[@haydenwillmott4687]

Right there with ya, the funniest part is I go by the name Soul XD.

[@AquaMaryn.]

Think of it this way : You inherit a genetic sequence that is becoming increasingly rare and gives you an enormous advantage if you were indeed put in a place that was no souls and all darkness. *positive outlook*

[@wheresbarry1434]

Hello darkness my old friend. Ha!

If thats only dark, how would be only souls?

[@jacknilsson7599]

Yo bro

[@chadhardt6136]

Project dark was the dev name of the game so its kinda fitting.

[@ParrotMan01276]

The ENTIRE run I was thinking about durability and it only came up during Manus. That is crazy.

[@O_Coisa_Ruim]

Great work, now finish the game with your monitor turned off. The real "Dark" experience.

[@nagasuao1129]

"Dark"

[@brickwitti]

no it would be " "

[@davidjachimiak]

I actually did this challenge, and for anyone who wants to do it, i found using the hunter class was the easiest because you can use the crystal halberd in anor londo and have the same health and stamina. That halberd was a meat grinder with buffs and gold pine resins.

[@Teurger]

Yeah, I also did it, and that halberd was insane. Occult club and Blacksmith hammer are also pretty good for random mobs when you don't want to waste durability.

[@OurEmRM]

Came here to mention this busted weapon; did an introvert run where I couldn't talk to NPCs and Crystal Halberd was great. 300 AR, buffable, 140 hits before it 'breaks' which is enough to get through the lord souls and dlc.

[@lorddarki9936]

Wouldnt the warrior also work?

[@AccainGaming]

The trick that I like to use to make the 4 kings easier with low damage is using elizabeth mushrooms. The 100hp per second for 30 seconds is great for letting you stand there and get multiple hits in without having to worry about healing for a bit. Also loved the jump kill on Quelaag, definitely got style points for that one!

[@kingpoxy2289]

So I wish to tell you something that last thing talking about lock on I want to say it's more up to preference I say, and if I could give you advice on your videos it'd be try to avoid explaining the grind as your videos I feel are a bit to long, not to be a critique after all I'm not a ds1 youtuber but still from my literal 5 years of nonstop watching dark souls challenges then I could critique that at least yknow.

[@AccainGaming]

@@kingpoxy2289 A very weird place to be critiquing my videos on someone else's video, but either way I like explaining what I do and will keep doing it. I appreciate your opinion but that's the style I like to make them in and I am okay with others not liking my videos. I don't try to appeal to everyone because it's not possible to make everyone happy. What you're asking me to do is make the video how you would like it not how everyone would like it. Of course there are plenty of people that will agree with you and I understand that, but that just means my video style isn't for yall and that's okay. There are plenty of other great souls tubers to watch. Let's say I would do what you say there is a good chance all the other people who sub to me because of the style I present my videos in will no longer enjoy them. At the end of the day I will never be able to make a video that makes everyone happy and I am okay with that. I do this because I enjoy it not because I want a million subscribers. I am just happy anyone watches my videos, I don't need the whole world to watch them. Again I appreciate the advice but I will stick with the style I enjoy making the videos.

[@tommybarker4926]

​@AccainGaming I literally started a ds1 no lock on run because of your comment about not liking it. It definitely helped me with elden ring as well.

[@kingpoxy2289]

@@AccainGaming understandable and I agree

[@AccainGaming]

@@tommybarker4926 I am glad it helped you out! It definitely helps out depending on the situation you are in. I do use the lock on system in ER but I will toggle it on and off depending what's going on. DS1's lock on system just isn't that fleshed out as DS3 and ER (I haven't played DS2 and I don't recall BBs). I found out recently it's very useful for moonlight butterfly fight but that's the only fight that I found it useful. I will reiterate from that conversation on that other video. I personally like playing this way, I have no issues with others using the lock on system. You paid for the game, so you can play it however you want.

[@JohnDoe-df7bl]

Hear me out now. Dark souls cursed run. You can only use cursed weapons and you have to play the whole game cursed.

[@incrediblybored4787]

I actually looked at the ghost blade for a build a while ago, its really not that bad of a dagger.

What if he made it so that getting hit built up curse?

So the game is just called:

[@sonnybattaglia4760]

Thank you for putting the music titles in the corner of the video. Also, good choice of music playing Sonic Unleashed: Cool Edge - Night Theme. Really nice transition music but definitely a little jarring, playing ice level music when showing Quelaag, LOL.

[@GretgorPooper]

24:36 YOU ARE A GENIUS! I'm so doing that from now on.

[@SquidBow]

Power within drains 1% of your hp for 100 seconds (6:44). Vitality doesn't matter

[@TheJhanssen]

1% of 100 total hp is a lot more impactfull than 1% of 2000 total. Bc, even if it takes around 50% of your health. In the second one you will still having 1000hp, and that will make you survive a lot of things

[@tlozfreak888]

"We start by naming our character joja, after the soulless corporation of Stardew Valley" completely caught me by surprise. Accurate, though, joja is soulless, and much like dark souls, has random dead bodies and people who have given up on life all over the place.

[@charlesmartel8063]

would have been funny not to use the soul of the fire keeper, but kinda insane

5:54 That bass beat is from Cool Edge - Night for anyone else who wanted to know (Edit: Just saw that the title was on screen, lol -- I looked it up on shazam) Which has somehow lead me to listening to the entire Sonic Unleashed OST.

[@shinji391]

It's absolutely mind-blowing to realize this build trivialized the Capra Demon, while other more legitimate builds and methods gave up at the Capra Demon. Imagine how upset you'd be if you never defeated the Capra Demon despite your "correct" play-style only to discover someone trivializing the boss without spending a single soul. Truly Kafkaesque.

[@RandomRikster]

Would love to see you do it again with a different starting class, that could be very interesting. Keep up the good work!

[@HermanTG]

As a huge Stardew and Souls Fan myself, I really liked the character name, very topical. Don't expect a huge overlap in both communities.

[@Sunny_Haven]

that's wild that durability didn't come up until near the end, I was thinking of that the whole time lmao, as to my knowledge, there are no repair powders you can get without spending souls.

[@alextintorv.i.9988]

I think the scimitar has the same moveset and DPS as the jagged ghost blade, but I don't know the requirements on dex to use it. Anyway, amazing vid, friend! :D

i always say to myself that Durability is a non issue for 95% of the players/runs with how high it is and how cheap it is to fix... This run was kinda a proof to me with how far you get without issue under extrem condition xD

[@BdrRm]

11:48 if this happened in ds2, this clip would go viral.

[@bellehogel8665]

Bravo. Think this is probably the hardest challenge yet or at least close. In terms of durability I am trying to think if the repair powder is an item you can find but I think it's purchase only.

[@chrislevack405]

Vagrants can drop them... but good luck with that, lol

[@UnNormieCualquiera]

First of all, genius idea to get the Ghostblade early, didn't think of that one. Now, the changes I would implement when doing this run myself are: Class: Hunter - you'll se why in the routing section. Routing: - I'm getting the Composite Bow + Large Arrows in New Londo as well as the feathered ones, adding those to my initial stack of 30 standards should be enough to safely cut the tail from under the bridge. I can also use the bow to aim the bombs towards Ingward. I'm also getting the Morning Star to beat Tauros then upgrading to the Ghostblade. - I'm doing Capra and Gaping Dragon after Anor Londo, going straight to Queelag. RTSR should carry me through this section. - The most important change: GET THE CRYSTAL HALBERD IN ANOR LONDO. This will make O&S, 4 Kings, and the DLC a LOT more manageable and is the strongest weapon we can get without spending souls BY FAR. The hunter has just enough stats to 2-hand it. - I'm definitely cheesing Nito and Bed of Chaos. - Slight changes in the order of bosses. If you'd like a full breakdown of the route I'm planning, go check it out in the Google doc below. docs.google.com/document/d/1MVmKwlnJbAuGCWAv282TIFzOGMyHlikShVrx0hkv4uw/edit?usp=sharing

[@kaleido9631]

I would have loved to see this as a series. Like i really am curious about all the details, but you only gloss over them. Like i am sure there were several stressful moments fighting the Four Kings, but i didnt get to see any of it. Other creator(s) have made these challenges into series with fine success. And you'd get more bang for your buck, too, spreading it out.

[@Vincent-39]

Ill always be impressed with how often dark souls gets challenge runs even to this day

[@froggiebunwhich2363]

so fun fact about power within, its health drain is actually based on a percentage of your max hp iirc, so it kinda just kills you at the same rate regardless.

Was waiting for you to say smth about durability from the very beginning and with how far you went without mentioning it, I assumed you just did what I would and used save backups 😅

[@EwiwasSmile]

I'm surprised you didn't go for the Crystal Halberd. Like, sure it can't be used for long, but it would've trivialized most bosses, especially later ones like the Four Kings. But the Deprived class can't even use it so you'd have had to make that decision at the very start of the run. But hey, I don't mind watching you suffer for our enjoyment, so over all a great run!
