Can You Beat Dark Souls 2 By Stabbing Yourself in the Stomach?

- Can I beat Dark Souls 2 using only the self-damaging L2 buffing animation of Sir Alonne sword to inflict damage? Because it actually has a hitbox and does a surprising amount of damage. The obvious problem of course is that this slow animation will do massive damage to yourself while leaving you completely vulnerable and the hitbox is er... not too reliable. And Just like in my immolation run before, when you can only deal damage by hurting yourself, it will make DS2 a very painful experience.

I appreciate your dedication to the "dark skinned tomboy gf you've always dreamed of" that you handicapped yourself even further so that you didn't have to see her as a shriveled bag of bones.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? If only that were the case here. Also, I like the call back to MK: Deception
The character by the end of this playthrough:

Jokes aside - nicely done, man :)
You should think about remastering this run sometime in the future, but doing the actually smart thing of repairing the weapon.
Ghost and goblins, ghouls and goblins, super ghosts and goblins. I get it 😂
Nice to see you taking a stab at a run like this, you're really on the cutting edge of challenge runs others wouldn't have the stomach to try
I hate this😭
@@supremetarantulasorcerer165 you're welcome
My gut feeling says that this guy has been playing the game for a very long time
@@jekkijekster and his gut feeling is "ah!! A sword!!"
He's really slicing through these challenges now
My evolving reaction to the introduction was worth the price of admission alone. "Oh he's going to commit seppuku before every combat? Is he basically RTSR-ing the game? Oh is it a no hit? Oh wait WHAT, IT HAS A HITBOX? Oh my god."
this was my exact reaction ngl
Same here, what a fucking mad lad
This run is the definition of “this hurts me more than it hurts you”
Respect for doing this. This run basically sounds like suicide.
When he's low on health, it IS suicide lmao
54:18
@@creepynoone7437 I think the joke is that the action of the weapon art is that of honorable suicide lmao
This is probably the first time in the world someone's beaten the game this way 😂
Also today I learned you can use life gems on the ladder
Yeah I'm at least not aware of any other playthrough like this.
@@PressContinue yeah this is the only seppuku only dark souls. Original content +1
Just got past the intro. He BEAT IT?! This is going to be something.
@@seanhennessy3968 yessir. He busted it down sexual style, for he is goated with the sauce
@@krillissueonshrimpment inshallah brother
Also want to mention, I really enjoy that you show a bit more area gameplay than most other people, I personally believe the challenge of navigating areas under such restrictions is just as if not more interesting than bosses sometimes
Yeah that's more applicable in DS2. Elden Ring and DS3 basically just turn into boss compilations because you can run past almost anything
I agree it makes for more satisfying content
This was the most ridiculous challenge run I have ever seen. Insance idea, crazy dedication and patience. Mad respect!
The Malenia reference to Melentia's lifegems 🤣😂
I can't, it's too clean for me to not laugh at that
Incredible to see that this 8 year old game still gets love, and that new challenge runs are being done on it. No one has ever done this before, and that deserves some praise! Fantastic work, really a cut (or I guess I should say stab) above the rest!
Watching this had reminded me that I wished there was a hitbox for pulling the blade out of yourself just because it always looked like an attack was coming out. Great video overall and can't wait to see what crazy challenge comes next!
Actually in DS3 Seppuku (bloodlust katana weaponart) has a hitbox when you pull the sword out
@@PressContinue Didn't know that, always learning something new everyday
@@PressContinue new challenge run?
Waiting the release of this challenge run was quite hard on the stomach
Being there for the Alonne win was absolutely amazing. Awesome work dude!
What I come on this channel for:
10% challenge runs
21% music
69% P U N S
nice
This looks painful for both the character and the player. Probs for coming up with such torture methods.
By all rights, your character should've looked like an Elden Ring troll by the end of this run. A few observations:
- I can't say for certain, but looking back at the footage, it looks like you only damage the enemies once the sword is on its way up towards your belly. So instead of catching enemies with the backswing of your katana, your actual hitbox is however far the hilt sticks out of your stomach. Incidentally, bonking enemies with the hilt of your sword as the blade is going through your own chest may be the single least efficient way to try and kill someone with a sword IRL.
- Speaking of the animation, it's easy to meme about the sword clipping through the floor, but the real concern is that the sword sweeps up through half of your body on its way to your stomach. So instead of stabbing yourself, you really should be bisecting half of your body, from your crotch all the way up to the belly. On the bright side, now you know why it deals slashing damage.
- Also from the footage, the stab damages yourself a couple of frames before the enemy. RTSR may have actually been a possible damage increase, but that's just a theory (a Game Theory) and you couldn't have known that while doing the run.
- The brightbugs probably screwed you because they increase both attack and defense by 20%, meaning self-damage would rise commensurately. It probably isn't a 1-to-1 correlation due to the funky way resistances are calculated in every Souls game, but either way, most of the defense you get is wiped away by the AR increase. Sacred Oath would've had the exact same drawback if you went for that one.
- An old PvP meta was to stab yourself while wearing the life ring +3, hot-swap the ring to a different one you want while the animation played out, and keep fighting with a buff and full health. Of course, in this run, you may not have wanted to shorten that health bar in any case, so it's probably a good thing I didn't manage to mention that during a stream.
- Seems it wasn't a fluke last time, the Throne Defender really does only have two gold pine resins. That may even be an intentional design choice, so a struggling player can eventually wait out the lightning buff, but honestly who can say when it comes to B team?
- That Fume Knight poke is probably the only time you'll ever say, "Wow, that was a good hitbox, Dark Souls 2!" When adding the BS to their hitboxes, they must prioritize width over length. You can make of that what you will.
All in all, good video. Props for finding a challenge run that's even harder than runs where you have almost no damage, no health, and no i-frames, and props+1 for beating it.
That was a rather Gut wrenching performance. My stomach was full of pins and needles watching that Sir Alonne fight. Amazing video as usual Press.
I think the problem with hitting Freja might be that the hitbox was hitting the invulnerable part of her model first, and thus disabling the attack, even if you were in range. I've noticed that happening a lot with the Curse Rotted Greatwood, specially with vertical attacks that hit the wood, then the sack and do no damage, might be the same here.
Sounds plausible
Probably the most creative ds2 challenge i've seen. Congrats!
I'm only commenting to support the channel in the algorithm, but I do want to say your content is some of the best on the platform. You have a loyal subscriber in me.
Thank you for putting yourself through so much pain for our enjoyment I appreciate it alot ❤
Yeah toxic and poison are annoying in ds2, but then again they had to make it that way, had it been like in the other games a single life gem would have just nullified the effect.
On the plus side it made poison decently viable as an infusion, so that's nice at least.
Yeah poison builds are actually pretty damn efficient in this game
Seeing as it's DS2 this will either be a walk in the park or a complete and utter living nightmare, no in between
I remember watching this after the streams came out, you sir have dedication that I would never be able to replicate; but I am now doing some challenge runs of my own because of you and a few others :).
Flaming blade of red and purple
The burning hatred once more rises
Beware the blood of the lost one
Beware the blood of the Mad One
Through his heart and through his flesh
The burning sacrifice is once more made
Beware Bewares Kings and God's,
Beware, Beware Press Continue's blood
Ah, yes, a DS2 playthrough where all the attacks are how it feels like to play DS2. Wonderful.
that cracked me up, thx 😂
its so damn cool being able to look back throughout the souls-bourne series and see all the mechanics and animatios and stuff became new things in Elden ring.
Sudoku only. Nice
i still love your little intros with the background music so much, edited super well. such an underrated channel.
This was one of the most entertaining challenges while having the humor really good I just had to subscribe
Watching this was so hard in the beginning. Respect to you for going through this grueling journey of torture
It must’ve taken a lot of guts to make that many stomach puns in one video 🤩 Brilliantly done, both on the script and the run!
Absolutely gut-wrenching playthrough. To say it put butterflies in my stomach would be a massive understatement.
Another good insane(masochistic) run.
Im not sure if its done already but do a "Doing Nothing Run"
Sun Ring + Ring of Thorns + Butterfly Set(Do a havel+defensive build if not doable). For extra fun, add immolation + iron flesh + flash sweat.
Challenger Andy has been doing ring damage only run for quite some time now
bro ur streams are good, the wids are good en je bent een medelander. super underrated
Netherlands?
@@bong7438 ja man we are netherlanders
Your videos are really well done and you are very entertaining
This is the most entertaining thing I’ve seen in a while. Lol nice work.
Thanks for the video, making my day as always
Dragonforce's die by the sword seems like a very fitting intro
Great idea for a video!
Even better execution 👍🏿
Those Kermit lines during the Demon of Song fight were gold.
Aside from the run, let's take a moment to appreciate the massive number of double entendres and puns he fit into his voice over xD
*applause* what an idea. an experience i know some consider painful, done with a weapon actively hurting you. the nonturning seppuku strike. Ive played fighting games with this, but as per usual Press Continue, you seriously have the guts I wish i had with games. I almost wonder how you'd handle my personal favorites.
Nice vid, I love ur vids dude they always make my day! Keep up the good work man!😊
A truly gut wrenching run, some might say
this run was quite fun to watch
the ammount of puns in this video is amazing, actually, great job on the run too!
That Elden Ring band cameo xD
Neat run
I did the broken sword challenge but this gives me far more anxiety I’m bad at health management
Didn't know the seppuku hitbox, and it does make for a great challenge run. Wished we could see the not-modded version too
It would have been practically the same. I'd just be holding a staff and would have gotten some restore items from that spell guy in no man's wharf to make up for repair powders. And of course I would have taken less damage due to being able to wear armor
The amount of patience that he showed towards the end of the Sir Alonne fight is astounding.
seen a meme with this video in it this morning. Then I seen this video on my recommend. Liked and subscribed!
There's already a meme about this? Where did you see it?
this is probably the craziest challenge run iv ever seen
This amount of puns should be illegal.
You, sir, have made my day.
This video is hilarious, and great. Very impressive.
The Backlogs guy on the stream is hilarious lol.
Ranni on the 2 necked guitar cracked me up :)
This man is always doing the most
"Out of the frying pan and into the... lava" -Goku
Your puns keep getting better and better!
You fucking mad man, great challenge and video!
Ah yes, more press continue
"Out of the frying pan, into the... lava" "How do you function?"
Hey I'm just like any other guy. I pay my taxes one leg at a time
If "this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you" was a valid weapon.
You are awesome sir! keep it up!
Nice little nod to DSP with that Why am I toxic question at 10:55 xD

Man I love dark souls 2.. Missing the lovely DLCs and Majula chilling theme.. such an underrated souls game F
Godverdomme Bavaria ouwe! Lekkere video man, Sudoku only run next please.
Gewoon lekker bier zuipen, gozer!
This is crazy. I struggled with this game without help, let alone by literally taking out half of your health with each hit you deal. Good God.
Amazing run
The most honourable of honourable duels 👍👍
This would be pretty cool to see as a ng+ run
Did you know you can get on the scorpion lady's back? Now you do!
The amount of stomach puns in this video is too damn high
This just makes me want a remaster even more
Alonne was a fitting end to all of this; that music just absolutely slaps.
Love seeing Bugsy playing well with others
Dark Souls 2 had so many cool unique weapons.
No matter how hard it gets, we must always press continue
This video could have a title "Can you beat Dark Souls II withouth killing yourself" lmao
I was actually already afraid that this title would get the video demonetized.
Wait a damn moment. In that pursuer fight… did we just witness… hitbox prn in dark souls 2… gasp I didn’t think it was possible
Your puns have been evolving immensely 😂 love it.
definitely, how to make every hitless runner cry in a corner. aboslutly outstanding.
The run to end all ru- wait...
Great video lemon!
LOL, thanks Hiroblook 2.0
I don't think I can stomach these belly puns anymore
Don't worry my friend, I too am old and thus appreciate your Ghosts and Goblins references
This take guts.
The fabled Yoshimitsu run
this thing would be great for a limit breakers video
This run give a new definiton to "you are your biggest enemy"
For your 75K or 100K Special Press, you should cater to the FromSoftware community and do a Elden Ring: Legs/Feet(& Crucible Tail) Only Playthrough/Guild
Rules are simple: Use These To Attack Enemies
Kick
Storm Stomp
Hoarfrost Stomp(Tip: Use the Ash of War to a Magic Weopon, Ex. Clayman Harpoon, for more damage instead of Icerind Hatchet)
&
Aspect of the Crucible: Tail
Spirit Summons Allowed: Warhawk(bc sometimes attack using blades on its Feet) or ig Mimic Tear(thou it will use its chosen weopon most of the time so idk, you decide)
Enjoy & if you want to, just go all in Leg/Feet Attacks if you don't wanna use Crucible Tail bc it might take longer due to Faith
Oh boy, now that indeed would be some fan service...
getting mad yoshimitsu vibes from this. I used to always try using his sepuku animation to win matches as a middle finger
Now I wonder what would happen if you no-hit Alonne, except you finish him with seppuku. Well done!
He killed his enemy's in a honorable way.
love the dbza references in the last few videos
I mean, idk why you didn't want to cheese the boob scorpion if you were okay with cheesing other bosses, not that I mind the cheese
I think it's because it wasn't necessary for her, she is an easy enough boss to fight without the cheese and cheesing everything doesn't make for good content (if u search hard for it almost every ds2 boss has a cheese), also I mean if he wasn't this much of a masochist the channel would likely have a lot less videos
@@kalogheros72 fair point.
Lol Flames Get Away does sound like an ER incantation
I loved this weapon so much, my only issue with it was the first 1H Light Attack Animation, everything else was perfect...
