I feel like this challenge would actually be pretty good in Dark Souls 2, mainly since every boss’s soul is transmutable into a weapon. Some can be be done in the lost bastielle, but very few. Once you get closer to the end game however, every other boss soul becomes transmutable in the… I forgot the name, but the place with all the spiders.

The cursed great sword of Artoris is by far my favorite weapon in this game. The fact it scales in everything means I can just use it forever with my constant ng+'s

[@lefthandedscout9923]

Despite the game telling you the cursed greatsword of artorias scales with int and faith, it doesn't. This is because it converts the magic split damage from the blessed version into physical damage, and in DS1, int and faith scaling only works for non physical damage, and str and dex scaling only works for physical damage. So if you want the actual scaling from all stats, you need to transmute it from a broken sword or straight sword hilt to get the blessed version.

A +15 great club or zweihander with buffs is stronger isn't it? At 66 str a +15 2 handed great club gives 666 damage and 1098 when buffed with sunlight blade using the dark Moon talisman with 99 faith. It was enough to cut kalameets tail with one r1

So, there are two versions of Artorias’ great sword, one that’s cursed and one that’s not, in order to get the non cursed version (which does extra damage against abyss enemies including the Four Kings) you need to upgrade a broken straight sword specifically

[@sheo3316]

There are actually 3 versions, the regular and cursed variants are gained via Sif, the 3rd is what you get from transmuting Artorias' soul which has a unique look similar to the tarnished version Artorias uses as opposed the the pristine version from Sif and it has it's own moveset based on Artorias' own instead of the stock greatsword moveset, which makes me wonder why Lemon went with the cursed variant instead of the DLC one for Manus despite the fact that if memory serves all 3 have the buff against Abyss enemies.

[@WhaleLord1333]

I light nitpick, but the straight sword hilt also transmutes in to the non cursed version

[@HYV3mynd]

​@sheo3316 the abyss greatsword is also arguably the best of the 3 too. Hella phys damage scaling off having humanity makes it crazy effective for a very long time

Whenever you see a thumbnail for the video titled "Can you beat Dark Souls (put in some extra condition)" then the answer is almost certainly yes.

[@ChadAF_YT]

Honestly, my first play through of dark souls the original edition, changed me as a person. I wish people could go back in time and play it before hearing about it. I was like 10-11 when it came out and the internet wasn’t as big as it is now. I hadn’t heard that I was really hard, so any difficulty I encountered I attributed to my skill level, not the game being extra difficult. Amazing. My imagination combined with ds1’s sprinkling of lore was quite the experience. I became a man that day, when I walked away, refusing to link with the fire…

[@RocketWaffle]

With the Taurus Demon jumping backwards, I also struggled with it for a while in one of my playthroughs, and I think I know why. I'm pretty sure he won't jump backwards if the jump will cause him to fall off. As soon as my angle on him was bad is when he'd always jump backwards and stay on. When I finally got it to work, he jumped backwards but then didn't fall until he stepped back for his next attack. Similarly, in the video it appears as though his jump didn't make him fall exactly, but he landed on a sloped hitbox and slid off after having already landed.

[@lefthandedscout9923]

You're almost right - Taurus doesn't step back if his back is to the ledge, so what you do is you wait for him to be standing perpendicular to the ledge, run towards him to bait him to dash back, then dash around his right side. This makes him turn towards you as he squats down, so when he jumps, his back is now to the ledge, and he falls and dies.

[@alanschempp7136]

You know this makes me think of another amusing run type. Speed run through every boss but any time you get a new weapon you have to swap to it till next weapon drop. That includes looted from corpses or dropped by mobs. Point of speed run bit is to not try farming for a weapon off of mobs.

[@sirbill_greebi3811]

Fun Fact: You can jump straight down to the shortcut door in the Painted World. On the first staircase with an archer (the one that overlooks the door), you can run and jump diagonally down at the wall and get over. It's a finicky jump, but if you're having trouble, you can just jump from on top of the building instead. Either way, you'll land right by the door. Just pop in to the Wheel Skeleton room via the door (never use the well) and either tiptoe or deathrun to the switch and you can finish the painting world while exploring barely any of it. Basically just a line from the bonfire to the boss.

I appriciate the detail of changing to Gwynn's greatsword even if it was only for the end cutscene

[@chumaktv5386]

One suicide run I do when I want a head start on my character levels is thru the catacombs and tomb of the giants, you get a load of consumable souls and a covetous ring. The only issue is idk if you can kill pinwheel with just firebombs

[@dantestagaard7159]

"May your sword chip and shatter" That's such a cool line, you need to make a movie or something

[@reptarien]

I am glad you didn't go with "Sword Game" because that literally describes only 80% of games. "Weapon Game" is MUCH more vague! :P

[@jethro87]

Holy damn, I was suggesting this run back in March, didn't expect to live the day I'm actually gonna see it happening. This is such a fun run and yet so underused it's criminal. There's also fun spin on this idea called cosplay run, where you basically speedrun through the game while collecting all buyable boss armor and weapons with their movesets, and then in NG+ you kill them with their own weapons while wearing their drip. No better feeling than beyblading back at Dancer.

This man deserves a medal and 2 in the hardest,most ridiculous, funny, and the no one thought of that challenges awards i don't care if i sound stupid or if it sounds crazy he deserves it because he is a king at this

[@PainfulJoy]

Should have taken Gwyn's sword into NG+ and killed the Asylum Demon with it. Just to demonstrate how the cycle would play out. OR, you know... kill it with Sunlight Spear.

[@Malus55]

I like how he mentions most of these weapons are upgraded via demon titanite... on a weapon that is specificly a normal titanite upgrade...

[@daddyespressodepresso2207]

I am so happy lemon loved the spell tools only run enough to plug it. It is by far my favorite run he's done and one I do myself regularly after watching that video

[@jesterfield]

Soulslike with gungame rules could be interesting, where your weapon would morph to similar weapon your last enemy used.

[@mrbearjangles8600]

the perfect thing to watch for half an hour while I die from yesterday's ghost pepper. thanks lemon.

[@eguitarplayer6689]

Thanks for the play through- it answered a lot of questions.

[@manuelsen69]

The "chopping off the boss tail and use it as a weapon" gimmick is so fun, I wish it returned in later installments. Gives a nice bonus objective during a boss fight.

[@famvirious]

I used most of the boss weapons with Smough's hammer being what I used for NG+1-NG+9
