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.

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...

[@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

[@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.

You and Backlogs always manage to make the new best Dark Souls video every time.

[@ganon1028]

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

[@ChosenOne41]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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 😂

[@Fenom007]

​@@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

This came out really fast, didn´t expect it this soon!

[@PressContinue]

Yeah I'm really rushing to get these 2 vids done before the 25th. So first one down, one left to go before 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.

[@aurochtamer]

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

[@PressContinue]

Ah, dammit. Didn't come to mind.

[@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 😮

[@GretgorPooper]

Caught a few streams of this one, made me quite happy to be alive! Thank you for being you, Press.

[@Wezleigh]

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

"Fork Kinks" - Pure humor perfection As always @Press Continue great edited video, enjoyed it very much!!!

[@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.

[@brandonmulryan1522]

I really wanted the garden shears from the enemy.

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.
