Hes probably one of the ones who said no. Im gonna try an attempt soon myself. But after seeing those vids, I aint doing 311 attempts at Manus, or being furry hand relief for 19 hours straight.
if i'm looking at press continue, jk leeds and doom wolf, lemon really messed those guys up, plus meaty jesus has to do ds content now for the rest of his life. the only one who still plays games normally is baron's castle. ymfah would have fit great too.
People already mentioned "the woman we get Pharris's bow might have stolen it from Pharris instead of being Pharris", but nobody talks about how the Twin Humanities she drops implies that she was pregnant when you killed her... :P
That doesn’t make sense? Democrats told me that when birthing bodies are “pregnant” there’s no life in them because that would imply it’s immoral to kill what’s inside them
Fun fact: LEEROOOYYY doesnt actually have enoght srengt to one hand grant as a red phantom or if you spawn him as an npc with some funky stuff, he does however have enoght strengt to one hand grant if you spawn him as a white phantom for pinwheel which is kinda wierd. Also nice video
Randomly stumbled upon this video. Few seconds in but your soothing voice and calm character got me already. Job well done :) Edit.: Didnt like the last words for NPCs too much, but also didnt bother me too crazy either. Just my 2 cents. Other than that , enjoyed every bit.
The reason Leroy invades you is because pinwheel is a necromancer and is thus against the gods and he wants to kill him where as when he invades you, you are going after Nito a god which he follows
A note about Pharris, it's possible the woman we get the equipment from killed the real Pharris, and took his name and identity for reasons unknown. It's a fun mystery without an answer. =P (Or, FROMSOFT just made a mistake when setting up the NPC, Japanese is a very contextual language so there'd be vagueness there.)
Pharris was killed when he plotted against the gods, along with Havel being locked in the tower and other person being killed too, they are the boss fight in DS2...
I loved the poems unlike majority of the comments here. I think a lot of people now have the attention span for Tik tok and can’t simply enjoy media literacy and… simple poems that only last a few seconds extra. Just kinda makes me sad because this creator makes very unique souls challenge runs compared to the simple fast paced ones that in my opinion I find unappealing. Love watching this creator because they clearly enjoy the game for story creation, strategy and challenge. All three. Unlike the content others may prefer which is just strategy and challenge. Story is so important when it comes to good games and good content. In a way this is a form of role play! And I adore this kind of role play when it comes to gaming. Inserting yourself into the story and coming up with your own lore for your character and their role in the souls world. It’s important to have fun and be creative instead of just going the “normal” route of just… playing the game and having no creative thinking with it.
actually lautrec's phantoms shouldn't count! when you die as an invader you actually canonically die as you drop your souls, but that doesn't happen when dying as a cooperator, therefore they aren't dead!
only in my wildes dreams i would think of killing that butterfly with goughs bow ur quest was so refreshing and fun to watch, thank you for allowing us to accompany you
I really loved this video! That run looks a bit tricky sometimes since you have to double-check which boss are you fighting next or you can get stuck after getting a new npc weapon. Pretty good editing!
really curious on the "how fast you can pick up the grant" video. awesome idea (since it would also be an how fast you can pickup the Sanctus which is something I've wondered for some time too)
I'd say do not worry for soul duping. Only people who'll whine about you saving time like that are people with no lives and those who just look for reasons to complain
Very weird to me, but some people can even watch these types of videos being absolutely unfamiliar with the game, let alone playing it, so it's always better to mention important details
@chewy_bucca yes and its much more difficult. But it feels a bitbmore legit than litterally seeing the boss death Animation but he gets "resurected" therefore he never died?... No, he litterally died for a hot minute
i did this challenge on accident a while back killed solaire to get his talisman and armor and i used his sword until i killed patches and got the crescent axe and in end game switched to grant as my main weapon
Oh you're counting Invaders as NPCs. I was wondering how you'd possibly wind up finding enough weapons that you could use each one for only two bosses.
Ok. I need to ask because I don't remember. But did he kill Blacksmith Rickert of Vinheim. Because if he saved him for last. He can use him to upgrade the blacksmith hammer. And if he did, I do need to ask why didn't he wait... I watched the thing. But I can't remember. If he didn't. Gwyn could have been easier....I'm mostly asking cuz I think you need a spear to hurt Rickert. And I don't remember him hunting him with the Catalyst or patches spear.
30:10 Gotta say, it made me genuinely smile with how you referred to pharris. Its so good to see people accepting they/them pronouns for individuals in non-political contexts. Sometimes, it's just the right pronoun!!! Be it for lack of information, informal speech, or any other number of reasons they/them pronouns are just that, pronouns. Always have been. Its not some foreign concept humans can't grasp unless they just don't grasp English or they actively don't want to grasp it
@Slaughter_Hill it's okay snowflake, I'll make what I said simpler for you. I can tell yea need it. I'm happy he used they/them pronouns specially because Pharris isn't non binary. Re read what I said before crying next time 🤣🤣
@Slaughter_Hill i mean, that was my point. Pharris has an ambiguous gender thanks to those translation errors, making they/them the grammatically correct pronouns. Like, good job for comprehending what I said, lil dude 👍
@@Absurdtheistic except there is nothing ambiguous. She’s a woman and there’s a mistranslation. If you mistranslated my name, my name doesn’t become the mistranslation. It stays as what it was. Nice try, kiddo
Im actually a reader and author myself. I feel like any challenge run, just to get it done faster (unless streaming all of it), you should be allowed to use cheese farming methods (such as the albinauric slaughtering...damage testing grounds), though Im not fond of glitches, if cheese farming isnt available and glitching is, should be allowed (again, unless streaming all of it).
If you mean no talking, then you should be able to. The run mainly depends on getting good weapon drops, in particular the Black Knight weapons, as they have good durability and damage. In Anor Londo, you get the Crystal Halberd, which can carry you a good chunk further until you can farm the Kiln knights for weapons. For Frampt and Kaathe, you should be able to hit both of them and jump down to Firelink Altar to place the Lordvessel (which you get by shooting Gwynevere). For the sake of being thorough, if you mean "interacting" as in talking, hitting, killing, etc., then not without game-breaking glitches. You need Oscar dead to even escape the asylum normally, but can clip out of Asylum Demon's arena with a frame-perfect trick. The Crest of Artorias blocks the way to Sif, so you need to kill Andre for it, which is "interacting" under these restrictions. Frampt also makes remarks if you attack to dismiss him, which is another interaction. Basically as long as you limit it to not talking, you're golden.
@@amberhernandezYou can just take the ladder behind the hydra in Darkroot Basin to avoid needing the Crest of Artorias, no idea why everyone seems to think it’s required
@@ritachikorita6916 I'm gonna keep it crystalline with ya, I haven't thought about that ladder since 2020 when I started playing lmao. That'd knock Andre off the hit list, then.
Let's see. 1. Kill to get the flask and key. 2. Either kill for the seal or use the back way for Sif. 3. Shoot the illusion of gwynevere. 4. Jump down the hole to the kiln. Those should be the only times where talking seems nessasary.
Witch Beatrice? She's an NPC summon for Moonlight Butterfly, at the bottom of the stairs. After summoning her for 4 Kings as well, her stuff is left in Valley of Drakes.
Not a fan of the ruleset and those final words sections tbh (skipped all but first three of them) I just find it weird you don't allow Leeroy's, Kirk's and Jeremiah's gear from their corpses, but do allow their phantom drops and basically did the opposite with Chester and no dusk gear And no, killing someone as a phantom means nothing and Kirk and Chester are clear examples of that, so you also didn't really kill Mildred I also find it weird that you allowed Petrus to kill Rhea and really feel like you should have done that because she drops her catalyst Forcing yourself to wear the latest item in slot acquired is only limiting your possibillities in a very boring way, but also means that you might've been forced to bonk someone to death with Rhea's talisman XD Also what you said about "so much killing" or whatever is very hypocritical considering how many lives everyone takes in these games XD
I don't understand the point of defeating the Asylum demon merely to glitch it to "technically" not be defeated. Just start the run after the Asylum... So much simpler.
They suck with a light armour dex build But with chunky armour and a big blunt object? Extremely fun to knock a few heads off to kill it without killing all of the heads
@@kenkaneki1087 I just think it is weird to make weird fantasy's about a characters gender orientation when it is not that deep in the first place. Those types of people generally annoy me so I choose to make fun of them.
as a nonbinary person myself I agree :) even with the explanations in the comments saying how the npc found the dead man’s armour or killed him for it… I like to think of an alternate story that they could just be nonbinary. Being a souls fan and having a nonbinary npc possibly being in my most favourite game is amazing. I would love more games to have that representation but written properly.
i think you would have fit great in "the backlogs" dark souls one shot competition

Holy shit, that's dark
maybe pharris was her husband/lover and after the "real" pharris died or went hollow she took on the role of pharris.

Wasn't it the other way around?
@@m97polska pretty sure its like this
29:23 most likely the woman we kill isn’t Pharris but someone else who died and ether passed his gear on or was killed by her

It‘s most likely the first one, at least it is implied by the item description of the hunter‘s black bow and hat in ds2.
Pharris was killed when he plotted against the gods, along with Havel being locked in the tower and other person being killed too, they are the boss fight in DS2...
Thanks for the comments, I am once again reminded I really should play DS2. XD

its interesting that Andre doesn't use a weapon despite having many swords around him
why bring a blade to their flesh when you can easily give them the knuckle sandwich
He also has many weapons around him he won't sell. So he won't use them or sell them. He must be a collector.
“For what use is a mind so open and brilliant, if it is only used to hide from fear.” Damn dude you are poetic and wise. This hit me

The constant obituaries were really weird and killed the video for me. Excellent delivery and editing though.
Editing was good, the constant obituaries just felt like it was there to pan out run time.
yeah, tuning out at the uchigatana part. its way too much. love the idea though.
15 minutes of the video - the challenge
The rest - in memoriam 🤣
That was a fun one run
So much effort. Really cool
So we’re not going to talk about the 13m souls you lost to Seath?
you wiffing hammerbangs on Petrus while reciting that requiem made it look so funny hihi
This is an incredible video. I'm surprised you aren't more well known.
im attempting this run and...
THANK GOD that oscar drops the estus flask
Loved it, great video
really curious on the "how fast you can pick up the grant" video. awesome idea (since it would also be an how fast you can pickup the Sanctus which is something I've wondered for some time too)
The power to change the video from 999 to 1000 likes will never not be satisfying to me
I love the Uchigatana..... though I dunno how good it is compared to other dex weapons lol XD
I'd say do not worry for soul duping. Only people who'll whine about you saving time like that are people with no lives and those who just look for reasons to complain
Banger Video 💪🏻
subscribed for not being an enby hater
Depending on the definition of NPC. 2 miracles are dropped. The two passive mindflayers drop miracles.
YOOO THE GOAT DEV BOX IS BACK!
53:38 man you really hit those attacks
Very weird to me, but some people can even watch these types of videos being absolutely unfamiliar with the game, let alone playing it, so it's always better to mention important details
27:43 transition was nice
Theres another way of skiping asylum demon, without killing and quitting. This way it feels a lil bit more legit
True asylum skip is really inconsistent tbf
@chewy_bucca yes and its much more difficult. But it feels a bitbmore legit than litterally seeing the boss death Animation but he gets "resurected" therefore he never died?... No, he litterally died for a hot minute
have you done an honorable run? like, whats it like not doing ANYTHING bad
i did this challenge on accident a while back killed solaire to get his talisman and armor and i used his sword until i killed patches and got the crescent axe and in end game switched to grant as my main weapon
>they
>them
Gwtndolin is a dude, not a “them”
Omg who the hell cares bruh
