I think the beauty of Dark Souls challenge runs isn't "Can I do it" it's "How long will it take me to do it?" Or "Should I do this?" Or my personal favorite: "Why am I doing this"
Honestly, I got way too hyped when I saw you made a new challenge video. That being said, your videos are fantastic! Great run my guy, and can't wait to see the new iterations come out. Keep up the great work!
Oh damn, it's GW! Thanks for watching! To be honest I've been casually checking your channel once every few days to make sure I haven't missed your next video haha. Your MiraclesOnly run was inspired :)
Dude, give yourself credit too! GW was the first challenge runs I ever came across, and YOU helped me overcome my impatience and finally beat DS1. Now I'm hooked on the entire series. Both of you are amazing to the DS Community!
@@TheBacklogs Don't be, I have a fun time trying to work around the rules of the run. And like you said in the ds1 weapon arts video, I get to try weapons that I usually wouldn't use.
5:12 That's actually a speedrunning trick... Basically, you got hit and entered a stagger animation, and when that animation ended your character returned to its idle animation from which you can execute a dodge roll, which gives you i-frames as you already know, but what you might not know is that i-frames negate fall damage! Though, speedrunners usually accomplish this by either doing a plunging attack on a slope, or being at exactly 25.0008% equip load. Don't ask.
I like the perspective some new players bring into dark souls, every first playthrough is a world of new opportunities. I personally love Alluring Skulls and wonder why more people dont use it to just run through areas without being bothered by enemies.
I found your channel a few days ago from the Salt and Sancuary subreddit where someone posted a link to one of your videos. I've now watched most of the things you've uploaded, and I really like your content!
I love how the DS Community has this stigma of toxicity and gatekeeping. I thought the same. Then I came across GamersWeekend doing challenge runs, and it piqued my interest. Now I realize DS is one of the most wholesome and welcoming communities ever. What the fans hate is people refusing to learn the game then spouting "gAmE iS TraSh wTf." Now I find myself watching every challenge run I come across. And let me say. This video is better than Gwyneveres giant, massive, voluptuous, rotund.........dedication to Sunlight. \\Praise the Sun Bro//
What a lotta people don’t realize is gatekeeping like dark souls is a good thing, you should welcome new people who are willing to put in the minimum effort to engage with a community but when people just want to change it to suit their wants you shouldn’t change just so they don’t think you gatekeep
I love that every single time he talked about the "Firebomb goddess" in future videos, he's always talking about his wife. It's both wholesome and hilarious.
If I remember there could be a way to perform or at least place bombs on the side of the fog wall and for it to letting you have extra bombs in stock, by doing so you require to perform the "poop walk" patented name. But now that I remember I think it can only be done in the remaster version? you are able with this trick to have half of your animations speed, to just walk enoughin the fog wall and not trigger the boss ai Also binoculars are able to help you aim better and farther by first setting the throw and constantly throw Bombs at him precisely. Which I think is also the same way you precisely bomb the two spheres on the bed of chaos. If you are curious of more tricks a youtuber by the name of ymfah does wacky challenges that no same man does. So there is that too! I hope I was able to help in some way! But I assume other people tried to do so too! Also it is so charming to see you call your wife goddess It's so adorably cute and lovely Oh neat this is why you should watch the ending of videos. Now ds2 baby! And hey at least you can speed up your attack with adaptability. And I think tricks from ds1 still seem to work on the second and third. Which I think now they scale with stats
i like the idea of a noble knight willing to throw themselves at danger time and time again only to stop and say "yep gotta do the taxes and pick up the kids, you have fun but i gots to go" no hollowing, no rage quitting, just life coming at them.
I fucking love this editing XD The screaming hollow charging and bonking you with the torch, the "traitor" yell and fire bomb toss when you decided to git gud...I don't remember the last time a gameplay commentary cracked me up as hard as your stuff does. Must be like 8 years at least.
Hi Lemon, i stumbled upon your channel this winter.. and oh boy, oh boy have you kept me giggling. I think i can say with some confidence by now that you are my favourite UA-camr. Keep up the good work 😁
3:31 Grinding having the Drake kill all these enemies for 555 souls is actually a pretty decent way to grind souls earlier in the game, before you unlock the other method where you push guys off the edge with the shield.
i think this video has to be my favorite of all of his so far, the edits and the jokes are absolutely my style and done great, loving the content even if its old :D
Ok so how the actual hell does this guy only have 70k subs. This dude better blow the hell up. So glad the algorithm recommended you to me a few weeks ago, I’ve been watching your vids ever since and I must say keep up the great work. Been in love with souls since middle school and your challenges and commentary are fantastic. Keep up the great work man, love the videos!
This is what made me always have a full stack of fire bombs on me during my first playthrough of Dark Souls Remastered. So many early game bosses fell to the fire bombs, as I used them as a crutch while I learned the game more as I wasn't used to the slower gameplay as I game hot off the heels of Elden Ring. Even got the finishing shot on Artorias because I used a black firebomb to force him into a dodge so I had an attack opening.
I’m not sure if it’s just because you are good at these games or not, but some of the challenges actually don’t even necessarily seem like that bad of ways to play the game! And I think that’s pretty cool
for all you people playing dark souls, this is for you. A tip is there if you want to try and kill clay lag with only firebombs yeah her fire resistance is infinite, but black fire bombs because it’s black fire. They do a bit of physical damage so they actually deal a bit of damage to qualagg
Funny story: when I first arrived to the Moonlight Butterfly, i actually ran out of Firebombs (wich ive been using before even getting to it) and when I saw the butterfly there I thought it was a boss that was impossible to kill melee only because it flies sience.... this is Dark Souls and my logic was that. So i returned to the merchant thanks to the fact that I had homeward bones to escape the arena, bought 99 Firebombs and spammed it with them.
you chose the right ending, you became the firebomb
That made me lol.
Banger comment
Best Comment ive ever heared
Phhhhhhhh
Now I am become Firebomb, destroyer of worlds.
You married the right person when they want to play dark souls, AND manages to mess with your understanding of what’s good
Shes a keeper..perhaps a Fire Keeper
Loooooool
And you believed she existed
@@frostyelwood9898 nice
Potato's are good. At making you understand, see the numbers. In that regard, firebomb are great. Crispy goodness.
I think the beauty of Dark Souls challenge runs isn't "Can I do it" it's "How long will it take me to do it?" Or "Should I do this?" Or my personal favorite:
"Why am I doing this"
More like “I’m gonna do this then flip a coin and hope not to die”
Haha this can be applied to any video game challenge run or simply life choices.
“Why am I doing this” sounds like the all Gwynn run aka EVERY enemy and eligible npc is Gwynn or a friendly t posing Gwynn
@@kingsly2275Very Chandy
Darksouls 2 firebomb only would probably be easier since there’s different types, and I think they scale with strength.
INT/FTH actually! It's in the works haha
It's in DS3 that consumables scale with STR, if I'm not mistaken.
@@matheusmoreira9951 outside of throwing knives and ... The bleedy ones. They use Dex
@@macenanoro826 firebombs scale with strength and lightning urns scale with faith in ds3
@@TheBacklogs in before lemon actually tried this insane idea and was optimistic. rip lemon. all hail the firebomb goddess. Umbasa.

@@TheBacklogsI got exited when I saw you making a new challenge run but then it was made two years ago lol
9:38 "Scuse me"
I'm in fucking orbit that got me so good
Backlogs: that thigh gap is killing me.
Me: is that why they say thick thighs save lives?
That quick “say hi to Lautrec” when you managed to make the Iron Giant fall was the funniest thing I heard in a while!! Well done 🤣
I'm really tempted to make a meat cleaver build in Demon's Souls and name the character "Milfeater Mandred".
Why demons souls?
Why not?
@@owencappelli2127
Him on bed of chaos: it uh.. died of natural causes
Me: understandable, have a nice day
Lemon you make the best videos, they are both entertaining and inspiring. You have actually inspired me to do challenge runs myself.
Oh God, I am so sorry.
@@TheBacklogs Don't be, I have a fun time trying to work around the rules of the run. And like you said in the ds1 weapon arts video, I get to try weapons that I usually wouldn't use.
i wonder ds2 is beatable using immolation only
You need not wonder.
Wow Milfeater Mildred my favorite dark souls npc lololol.
Man eater MILFdred was right there
what he said was milfeater mandred
Awesome content. Also reminds me how much cleaner the wikidot was compared to the nightmare that is fextralife.
7:39 was such a bloody hilarious joke.
Congrats man !
cant wait for the next "can you beat every game with firebombs" run.

You actually did it
also that's hollow knight music at the start and i love it
is there anyone else who rewatches this simply for background noise? something abt lemon makes his voice easy to listen to on repeat
I really like your editing style! It's cool to have another unique content creator in the souls community, keep up the good work.
I can already see you being haunted by firebombs and beating alot of games with firebombs
Soo this is where it all started... its beautiful... imma do a firebomb only run too
This is channel is so underrated. The editing is super good and you provide valid information and entertainment
I found your channel a few days ago from the Salt and Sancuary subreddit where someone posted a link to one of your videos. I've now watched most of the things you've uploaded, and I really like your content!
Thanks for giving my content a watch - I really appreciate it! I always love to hear how people found the channel :)
I lost all my shit at 4:43
loving your content, just found a hidden gem, praise the youtube recomendations
I was literally crying when I first saw it😂😂
All hail the Firebombs! Quite the lovely run, well done^^
Looking forward to see the DS2 run^^
4:43 I literally have not laughed this hard in years
The production value on these videos totally took me by surprise, you deserve way more subs!
11:30 the tickle joke got a good chuckle out of me.
Fun fact: Demon Firesage is weak to fire and does magic damage, not fire
oh my god.... the firebomb goddess was his wife, thats so sweet omg
11:23
"If we can just keep circling the area, while Nito does most of the work- *Chokes on arrow*"
Lemon: "have you seen my channel? I don't think it can get any worse" *DS2 Immolation only has entered the chat*
**Kills Priscilla**
**Doesn't show what mask Pinwheel dropped**
It's almost like you want us to hate you... hmmm... suspicious
8:57 , Journey to Silius baby!
Firebombs damages advanced bosses actually WAY more than i think
It is nice to come back and watch where the academy begin
I love how you called her milfeater mandred
I feel you, to my friends ive become the guy that beats every game by shieldbashing

no hollowing, no rage quitting, just life coming at them.

Bro ive been playing this game for over ten years and i had no idea you could skip discharge like that. Fuck i love souls
4:39 Getting almost any NPC in NG+2 be like
The random screaming is hilarious
That "Excuse me" Parry was too good.
Yesss... it has been done...
Edit: How was Pinwheel's boss music?
Really good, actually. Forgot he HAD boss music haha
Love the videos man! Keep it up.
Hi Lemon, i stumbled upon your channel this winter.. and oh boy, oh boy have you kept me giggling. I think i can say with some confidence by now that you are my favourite UA-camr. Keep up the good work 😁
It's kinda sad that when I struggle with the game and you see all this, challenges
You can heavily increase accuracy by using freeaim and going in close or aiming at the ground
The fact you took inspiration from your wife makes me smile
3:31
Grinding having the Drake kill all these enemies for 555 souls is actually a pretty decent way to grind souls earlier in the game, before you unlock the other method where you push guys off the edge with the shield.
Currently binge watching the DS firebomb vids and I love it

Yes! More dark soul! More!
Lemon! Always love coming back to this. Would love to see you redux the Artorias fight if you have the patience. Bring it full circle, etc. etc.
That wine glass in the beginning just reminded me of American Dad: "I like wiiine" lmaoo
I’m not sure if it’s just because you are good at these games or not, but some of the challenges actually don’t even necessarily seem like that bad of ways to play the game! And I think that’s pretty cool
Every time you die I instinctively look at the number of souls you are carrying, and hope it ain't too big a loss!
The scream at 4:38 is so perfect
8:36 omg is this the origin of ledge knight cheese?
I loved the part where lemon just say "we are firebombes" and firebombes the entire gane
Let the raid begin

Challenge run idea. Equip the spike armor. And only damage enemies/bosses by rolling into them
Good use of the Goron music for the Iron Golem, felt very thematically appropriate. Great videos sir, love your shit
I love your Dark Souls videos
8:25 I FORGOT THE DOOOOOOOLLLLL 🤣
MilfEater Mandred is my new favorite nickname for an NPC.
i assume with all the fire bomb, whip, boss weapons, poison mist, summon weapon vids
we can expect the same with all when it comes to elden ring
Unfortunately not. Just firebombs for ER, and not for some time.
Funny story: when I first arrived to the Moonlight Butterfly, i actually ran out of Firebombs (wich ive been using before even getting to it) and when I saw the butterfly there I thought it was a boss that was impossible to kill melee only because it flies sience.... this is Dark Souls and my logic was that. So i returned to the merchant thanks to the fact that I had homeward bones to escape the arena, bought 99 Firebombs and spammed it with them.
Fun fact: the first time I played this I thought the skip in Anor Londo at 8:53 was the correct way to get to that area.
Generic comment to Bump the algorithm.
In all seriousness great job a very entertaining video, thank you for the upload.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Finally i am back to where it all started
I love the super mario music at the end
