Can You Beat Dark Souls 1 with Throwing Knives Only?

Can you leave knives at the fog wall and gather them again when you run out? If so you may need to redo this run without the summon cheese.

[@JKLeeds]

You can but I sorta consider that a glitch, plus it would only help with Quelaag really, everything else has way too much health or a drop after the fog gate meaning you can't get back to it

I think you can drop extra throwing knives right at the edge of the fog gate so you can have more than 99. Saw someone do that for a Dark Souls 3 consumable only run. Would probably also work for Dark Souls 1.

[@JKLeeds]

Yeah that is possible to do but it's sort of a glitch and it wouldn't really help in the long run because of Four Kings and Nito where you can't get back to the fog gate

He turned you into the throwing knife. When he said “I have Jack in my throat”, I was drinking Jack Daniels.

[@MainTopmastStaysail]

One thing you could try to bypass carrying limits is to drop some number of knives right on top of a fog gate, then refill from a nearby bonfire. Then when you run out during a fight, you can go to the fog and pick more up. Doesn't work for all boss arenas but it seems viable for a few, like the Gaping Dragon.

[@GameBuff2305]

This was an amazing video! This video + the pyr-oemancy masterpiece earned you a new sub 🤩 p.s. Will have to try the throwing knives, the sound effect of the knives is really something 🤣🤣🤣

[@purple_menace6604]

Honestly this is my favorite challenge run. Most anything people have thought up is possible, and when it isn't it's usually pretty obvious. For instance, nobody's going to ever beat Bloodborne with only pebbles. This challenge is amazing because it's only just impossible. That being said I think it would be positively soul destroying if it was, imagine fighting Gwyn or Kalameet with only throwing knives.
