The Low Level One Shot | Backlogs One Shot Contest (Dark Souls Remastered CHALLENGE)

The Low Level One-Shot Challenge is a classic challenge I've always wanted to tackle, and what better motivation than for my friend The Backlogs to challenge an entire pack of runners to tackle it.
It's one level for every one-shot. Can we clear the entire game under the Low Level One-Shot Challenge?

So apparently there’s been a couple mixups and confusion regarding a couple things, which is understandable, so figured I’d clear up a couple things. - All the runners took on our runs at the same time, not one after the other. We all went our separate ways and did our own runs at roughly the same time and made our own strats at roughly the same time. Some people are faster at making videos than others, so it may seem like everything is desynced but trust me, we all ran it at the same time. - The video is written from SOLELY the perspective of my run. Because #1 it would be a jackass move to spoil other people’s videos, and #2 it would ruin the entire point of the finale of the whole competition. - There’s a reason that I frame things with a sense of Ambiguity when I say things like “world first” because again, we don’t want to spoil the final project. We’ll all see what happens when it all comes to a close 😁 Hope that helps with some of the confusion on things

[@Ninterd2]

Fantastic video!

[@A3g1s22]

I didn't know that most of those bosses were doable in one shot, at least without exploits. But you did all that without Tumble-Buffs, which is truly amazing

[@KippClimbs]

Would firestorm with multiple kings spawned be possible?

[@wexdust]

Btw pyromancy scales with humanity, maybe you could've increased your chances on Manus with all that + 10 humanity and use Chaos Storm instead for lava pools?

[@wexdust]

@@KippClimbs Keep in mind you are between 4K trying to cast solidly slow spell even on dex cap, and all of them are ought to attack you with their long swords.

[@PressContinue]

Once again, it's so interesting to see where every contestant approach differs. Sure late game there's not that much variation but I've seen quite a bit of variety in how everyone started the run so far. And of course... the 4 kings one-shot. That's one hell of a milestone in and of itself. Not to mention that not only is it that anyone at all managed to figure a way to do it, but that multiple people discovered this independent of each other over a decade after the game's release. That's a thing of beauty

​@christopherjones260 he released his video a month ago, the dates for dojng the run were the same, but people edit their videos at diffrent speeds

[@user-ew7vj3hw9m]

Poor meaty had to kill Manus fuckin twice because dusk disaster lol

[@benschmitt7035]

@@user-ew7vj3hw9m but hey it probably means he wins, given that he's also the only one to beat 4 kings within the rules (that I've seen), plus every other boss/npc/etc !

[@serketenglish5963]

I can hardly wait for the Backlogs video.

[@silentkhaos1176]

Me too. I honestly thought it would be out by now, but I guess it's taking longer than I thought it would. I'm not any good at video editing anyway, plus I have no idea how many runs he has to go through, so I can't even tell when he will be ready. All I know is that I can't wait until he releases it.

[@saticson]

That 4 kings spawn location trick was crazy man, hats off.

[@TheRobben98]

yeah but sadly i saw it on another run already, so i smiled that someone else found the trick, but was not surprised by that strategy but still, the 2nd person on youtube who managed to kill the 4 kings in one attack without glitches or counting the 4 kings as 4 enemies

[@darkwhispersstories47]

​​@@TheRobben98it's even more impressive that no one supposedly done it or thought of it in 13 years but then we get 2 people who did it

[@Kratos34975]

Meaty jesus did it before this guy

[@TheRobben98]

@@Kratos34975 well he uploaded his video before, but who achieved that goal first is another question

[@Kratos34975]

@@TheRobben98 It is much more likely that the video that got uploaded before inspired this one None of the challengers was able to do this four kings one shot And suddenly after meaty jesus did it This guy also did the exact same trick with the exact same spell that nobody even considered it, what a coincidence Be real man .

[@JKLeeds]

Great vid! I was really excited to see your run and it didnt disappoint 😊

[@KreatorKid6622]

agreed

[@blockwearingman]

did you get invited too?

[@Princemika1121]

Omfg I cant believe you commented, you and lemon is why I watch soulsborne challenges and found this awesome guy

[@onnopleaseno649]

once 4 people oneshot the 4 kings they become the new 4 kings

[@patrick2k13]

Meaty Jesus did the same strategy for the 4 Kings. Idk if any other runner did it too but still impressive you came to that conclusion as well!!

[@BaronsCastle]

Another Dragon King Greataxe enjoyer, I see! GG, great run

[@Mercah_koondial]

About the blood stain you where curious about: when you enter the boss room, the game loads a separate map underneath the room you actually stepped in, this is room copy’s the data from the room above and extends the room out quite long, you picked up your bloodstain in the boss room but not the actual boss room meaning your actual blood stain was in the actual boss room still, sorry if that was confusing but tldr game tricks you into thinking your somewhere else and then gets confused about your bloodstain data

[@dreamwanderer5791]

Thanks for that, it was super confusing live. I'll tell him to check this comment out.

[@cranapple3367]

There's an Illusory Wall video on this particular trick.

Imagine one-shotting Four kings only to mess up the one shot on one dark knight, eliminating a point

[@gorkemaykut5230]

I still think he deserved that point since he hit him once and died

[@harpingon]

I think that's in the rules right? One press, enemy died. We'll see when Lemon sorts it all out I guess. @@gorkemaykut5230

[@brucelaird1103]

That 4 kings kill was insane. And also i think we can all give you credit you went at Manus for 10 hours. I think you deserve a medal or something.

[@dreamwanderer5791]

It may only seem like a single video, but man, this is a culmination of one wild summer. Weeks of planning, the run proper up to THE BOIS, and then the editing grind. It feels like a great final chapter to it all. It was great to be there, and I can't wait for The Low Level One Shot (Dark Souls 2: SotFS) Challenge. Or DS3, whichever comes first.

[@raikbarczynski6582]

so i just learned about this competition. and i watched all vids. i dont care who wins it. you guys all did great and hell better than i ever could hope to be playing any Soulsborne game.

[@Lasor4]

That trick with the Four Kings was jaw-dropping. Bloody brilliant, nicely job!!

[@the_forlorn_panda]

I can't get enough of these videos, I hope there are other runners! It's absolutely amazing how nobody was able to one shot the Four Kings for 12 years, and now two people did it with the same technique, without consulting each other. Truly an achievement, congrats.

[@DontRachQuit]

This was so awesome Kyle! Inspirational display of skill and determination. Not to mention great editing as always. Well done!

[@PabloNavarrete5780]

Congratulations! I’m glad I get to see people be so smart about the four kings Plus the Manus attempts sounds like a pain and regardless it’s an amazing achievement

[@michaczynski296]

Great work! As a great fan of your videos i can see the progresu that you've made as a ds player and also a filmmaker! Keep doing what you do, because this work is as good as another ds community legends like Ymfah, Baron's Castle or Press Continue! Don't you dare go Hollow!

[@jocky6076]

Just wanted to come over from The Backlogs crowd to say congratulations on completing the run! You earned yourself a follow from me, with hopes it lessens the 6033 PTSD (You're number 4. First Baron, then JK, Doom Wolf and now yourself all emotionally scarred by Manus. Foreshadowing for the other runners?). But honestly, you 1000% deserve that 4 Kings kill, you owned it my dude! Do we have to wait for Lemon's Leaderboard to find out the winner?

that four kings defeat is fucking mental dude! I did an audible "ooohhhh" when you actually pulled it off

just need to say it, i love your transitions and would love to see more than almost exclusively DS1, DS3 with your style would be nice, i love DS1 but some other soulsborne games would just be awesome

That's the way I would've done! That kill on 4 kings... JUST AMAZING!

[@djlancematthew]

This was an excellent run! However, I did watch another player on shot Manus. You are 100% correct. It was all about luck. You had the exact way too. One shot him down. You just had to wait for him to jump backwards to get the damage boost. Excellent work!

[@Cautionary_Tale_Harris]

Yeah that was Doom Wolf

[@lightweave]

One other challenge that I thought about is: Can you beat Dark Souls with only using the dragon head? I love your vids. They give much insight and are fun to watch!

[@lightweave]

I can totally understand that it is no fun to "beat" RNG. Great video! 😃👍

I honest to god thought 4K was going to be full on impossible. Nice to be proven wrong.

The arena where you fight Gwyndolin is a duplicate. The game does transfert the bloodstain from the long hallway when you defeat Gwydolin.

[@Leif47]

SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T WATCHED THE VIDEO: Congrats on finishing the run, especially possibly being one of the first to one button the Four Kings! I'm very much a noob when it comes to Souls games so it was amazing to see this kind of challenge run! And to think you did it while accidentally forgetting to use a few level up points, not sure if they would've changed the Manus fight but I agree that if the fight was too luck based to be possible it wasn't worth it if you weren't having fun after over 300 attempts. Great video and I can't wait for your next one! :)

[@Rocky-yw1zo]
