Can You Beat DEMON'S SOULS With Only Firebombs?

[@Burning_Marshmallow]

Bombs instead of fire would be more specific, but in general with most games, if it has a firebomb that deals fire damage, then pretty much all required enemies/bosses need to be able to die from fire damage.

At this point I’m sure his thoughts are: “Fight fire with fire!”

[@jaredcrabb]

Its possible in Dragon's Dogma. Though I think Throwblasts (DD firebombs v1) do physical and fire. Even if it did I dont think anything required is immune to fire.

[@realbloodydoves]

Gotta say, Lemon, I like the larger meta-story you're telling with these firebomb runs. Following the will of the Goddess along the path is a pretty fun way to string all these challenges together. Can't wait to see the Lands Between burn in flames (you gotta do the frenzied flame ending!).

[@Burning_Marshmallow]

The frenzied flame ending is just a must for a fire bomb run in Elden ring.

Consider, though. The Frenzied Flame ending would also burn Jarburg to the ground. What Firebomb devotee would allow the Firebomb society to be destroyed?

The remaster may be one of the finest video games ive ever played tbh

I never had played Demon's Souls until it was remade for PS5, it really is fantastic. I personally believe it's one of the easiest of the series, but that doesn't lessen how much fun I had with it :D

[@professor7269]

This is a really impressive challenge; great job Lemon! Apperantly, the answer to the titled question is no; you cannot beat Demon's Souls with only firebombs. This one is really good!

I wonder if Elden ring firebombs only is possible with only 20 + 10 firebombs

[@tycol322]

But you can carry a ton of components for crafting and if he is blessed enough to allow all bombs not just fire (sleep, holy, poison, etc) then he might have a small percentage increase of success

[@berry_hikari]

Also think of all the buffs that are available in Elden ring, Flame Grant me Strength, Golden Vow, Flame Scorpion Charm. He’s got a pretty good shot at doing it

[@Burning_Marshmallow]

@@tycol322 But you can’t craft mid combat though. While yes you can prepare before hand by crafting and buying firebombs, if you can’t kill the boss with the maximum amount of firebombs at hand, the run will be in some trouble. At least you only need to collect two greatrunes to enter the capital, but it might get tricky to kill bosses that late. And even the trick where you leave behind firebombs at the fog gate won’t last forever, as the final boss doesn’t have a conventional fog gate.

[@TheValiantBob]

Spoilers for da video Yeah, I figured that Flamelurker or Storm King would be the run killers. To be totally honest, I couldn't remember if the Armored Spider was immune to fire too and thought that even that might have been where the run died. Was Not expecting Astraea and Old Monk to be run killers too. Also, I am 100% calling it now that you're gonna do the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending for Elden Ring. After everything you've been through for the Goddess, it only seems fitting to burn it all down, doesn't it, O Lord of Combustible Lemons? Edit: Also I know the point of these runs is to do it glitchless. However if you used the wrong warp glitch (present in the Remake although not sure if it exists in the OG version), it would still be neat to see you try Penetrator and False King Allant. Penetrator could be doable if you rescue Biorr and let him do most of the heavy lifting. Although False King Allant would definitely be hard since he zips around, and you might run into the problem with Old Monk in terms of him having too much HP.

[@adamwill2161]

Allant has 5370 hp

[@enlongjones2394]

Elden Ring is going to be interesting. I did a run with consumable weapons, which includes the pots, but also basic throwing daggers and such. Inventory limits on pots are going to be a major factor there. I don’t know that Malenia, for example, can be beat with pots alone, unless you trick her. AI for every throw. On the other hand, the enemies that dodge pots are programmed to dodge when you throw anything, even if it’s not aimed anywhere near them. So it’s possible to trigger a dodge and trick the AI by throwing a dagger at absolutely nothing, which could fit in with the run. The biggest roadblock is gonna be the final boss. Can’t use Rot Pots on the second phase, and it has a big chunk of HP. But with determination, shenanigans, and maybe the ashes of a fellow firebomb goddess devotee, it could be possible.
