And where would the fun be in that? He used the Donovan armor to get through parts that would be literally impossible so that he didn't have to just say 'Sorry, nope, can't do it' However I do think it would be better if he said 'with out hurting an enemy with the scythe'
Man...this run feels a *lot* more juxtaposed with Donovan's Blade & the Scythe. I mean, it could also be a "Can You Beat Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment without using your Weapon", cause...the reasonings behind it feel...weak. I'm not trying to like a jerk, but as someone who watched the other two runs (You even hearted my comments on those two), I felt this one didn't...fully convince me.
This run feels more like the megaman pacifist runs: how much are you required to use the scythe to beat spectre of torment. Because of the final boss requiring rail grinding, the most strict definition of no scythe is definitely impossible. You just have to decide if you're willing to be lenient or want to write it off as a no.
I mean, there are 2 options here. Either accept the technicality, or don't. This was made to show if it was possible to go without the scythe and I believe this answers it either way. You accept that it "isn't a scythe", and the run is possible. Or not. No one honestly wanted this video to be cut short because of rails.
StT: “We can use the Sword to grind on rails...” Me: **Listening** StT: “...and Slash at lanterns.” Me: “Well, that set is OP for this challenge, as you can do ANYTHING YOU WANT with that set...”
but the Spider Scythe is Not The Specter's SIGNATURE SCYTHE. So Using Spider Scythe is Okay Since the Rules Say that Specter Can't Use His Primary Signature Scythe.
Imma be honest rn I’m surprised how many people did not get the joke, spider scythe and judgment rush ARE scythes, but they can be used since they are not the main scythe
There's actually a code that gives you the Rail Mail from the start and makes you start grinding anytime you land on something. It also gives you super speed when you grind. It's pure insanity and I love it.
Ok I can accept the flashbacks not counting, but Donovan armor just makes it a normal run That’s like saying can you beat NSMBU without using Mario by using Luigi
Phony 15 Ok, it’s impossible now, so what? Just because a challenge is impossible doesn’t mean you should pull out random exceptions, or in this case literally just make it a normal run
@@Volcanic_Rave It's not a normal run though, he didn't succeed in beating it with out using the scythe, but he did succeed in beating it with out hurting any enemies with the scythe That is impressive. However to be fair, he should have called it 'With out hurting enemies with the scythe' or 'How many times do you have to use the scythe' but that would break the theme of the three videos, seeing as the other two videos where fully successful with not using the other two's primary forms of attacking
@@neoxus30 I think that can be put as a responsible exception, seeing as it's not a basic attack and it's a curio like everything else. But that's debatable
so it's basically pointless then. If you say the donovan set doesn't count as using the scythe then there's literally no challenge to the run, you can just do literally the entire game as normal and say you never used it then. It completely removes any aspect of a 'challenge run' from the concept. I think what would've been better and more satisfying is if you went through and calculated the minimum number of times you have to use the scythe in the run and tried to get that number as low as possible. not every one of these challenges that have become popular lately is 100% successful, but it's still cool to see a game beaten with the minimum number of something instead. So I would've liked it more if you admitted defeat and tried to minimize scythe usage. But instead this just amounts to "can you beat the game by playing it completely normally, but with a slightly different sprite set?"
I would say its not possible, and instead call it "what is the least scythe usage needed", to me, the Donovan set is just an excuse, as it works exactly like the default scythe.
Fair argument. I think there are some surprising differences in the visual design to distinguish the two - but ultimately by comes down to preference. I’m amazed so much of the game is beatable without it in the first place - maybe the amiibo will prove it all possible, without technicalities
@@skipthetutorial i do keep my "its an excuse" argument, but not to say that what you achieved in this video isn't impressive! Just like you, i'm also amazed by how far those non-scythe strategies can carry the player! The video was awesome regardless 👏👏
Skip the Tutorial this challenge was like can you beat mario without jumping but then you spin jump instead. Oh wait, spin jump is actually a different mechanic. Looks like it’s even more of complete disregard for the challenge.
Or without opening your inventory at all... (It's possible, the Dye Shop make it easy to change clothes and even without you can get enough weapon power to beat all the ganons. Just make sure you break your bow before DBG, or it's game over)
I think using donavan armor as an excuse isn't exactly fair, since by that logic just going through all of the game with it technically counts as beating a challenge without a scythe.
It’s a technicality - I’ll absolutely admit that. Despite that, I do think that it highlights an interesting part of the game - and allowed us to talk about more aspects than just giving up. Possible* is how I’ll label it. Maybe the amiibo will builds past that
Why are you not counting the flashbacks as a part of the challenge because of what he's wearing but still count it as a scythe when your wearing the same outfit in normal levels? I get that the flashbacks are impossible without scythe but it felt like you were giving a poor exuse
Because he literally doesn’t have a scythe back then - the later cutscenes show him get it later. In the play, we can talk about it being a reskin despite some animations shifts or what have you - but he’s not specter at that point and doesn’t get the scythe until the enchantress
Actually, Dark Reize is completely possible without slashing your weapon. All you have to do is use the lantern barrier curio (or whatever it's called). I think it's even possible to take him out before the long jump, but I'm not sure. Edit: I haven't tried that in the normal mode, I did it in New Game+, not sure if the rest of the game is possible in this mode.
Actually, the fish in treasure knights stage can be killed with the claw. Probably not ideal for this run, but i just wanted to let you know it's not unkillable.
Lol you used A Cool Reception instead of A Wintry Paradise for the Polar Knight section, did you just not like that track? Just noticed you did the same thing, is it the same with Price of Doing Business? Lol
You should have used the raiment of risk more. Once you break a checkpoint, you are given infinite magic regeneration, which I'm certain would have made most levels much easier.
I still dont think i like these shovel knight videos, it feels like there are two many technicalities. Especially in this one. But you established that for your run, cheats were ok. Thats fine, but then in the middle you allow the technicality of donnovans sword...but opening that up kind of kills eveything else and makes this video kind of feel cheap while the other two were just using rules i didnt agree with. if the donnovan skin makes grinding and using judgment rush ok, it kind of makes using the attack ok anywhere doesnt it, rendering most of the feats of the run pointless because you can just play the game with the sword .At that point it's not even about the semantics of what is "using the sythe" and its just about how much you want to enforce the rules and when to kind of still do the challenge. In most of that starting footage, you are in the donnovan armor, but you arent slashing. at that point, you are just chosing to not attack then, even though its technically allowed with that skin. why not just play the whole game that way? Its like saying. yeah i can beat shovel knight without the shovel, because my brother will play it for me/pressing the attack button for me. Something along those lines. Its technically fair game, but after so many layers its not even recognizable as a challenge anymore and it comes off as cheap if that makes sense.
Just a suggestion: maybe you can fully record runs on a second channel or something? That way whe have proof that you actaully beat the game without using the scythe.
Specter knight: **swings scythe in victory animation, uses spider scythe, and Uses the orb to dash slash enemies** Me: well, I guess technically he didn’t use the scythe
Really? You just used the scythe and said well yeah but I used a reskin where it’s a sword so it’s fine This is not the high quality problem solving I’ve come to expect. Seriously skip, for shame
New game plus could actually make this run significantly _easier,_ in a way. Your darkness/will slowly drains, however, it will never fall below one. At this point, the Judgement Rush, Hover plume, and Chronos Coin become unusable, but every other curio can be used free of charge, as much as you like. As long as you don't take any damage...
1. Using donovan's sword for surfing is a HUGE technicality (and in my standards disqualifies the run; keep in mind it is specter knight playing through these stages NOT donovan[he is wearing his donovan clothes sure but this technicality does not sit well with me]) (That being said im fine with using the sword in the flashback levels) 2. During the reize boss fight slashing the lanturns as intended with donovan's sword I also consider breaking the rules. It is not donovan fighting reize it is specter knight wearing donovan armor and should therefore have his sword be considered his scythe
So to summarize, is it possible to beat specter of torment without using the scythe: NO polar knight's stage and the reize boss fight are immpossible to beat without using the *scythe*
I don’t actually know if you can beat king of cards without the shoulder bash 1. The shoulder bash is used as platforming through the entire game, making it a lot like Spector knight, but unlike specter knight you don’t have the wall climb 2. There are a lot more stages making more and more obstacles to get through 3. The bash is what leads into the entire second part of his move, the twirl, not much else can replace this move except for the fire sword which depletes way too much of you magic. 4. No Donovan armor or anything like it 5. The bosses are a lot harder and even though the card things are easy bosses are way different in difficulty and moves. I’m gonna say it now I don’t think even you can pull it off even if you found a way to beat the bosses, would love to see your attempt though and we gotta have hope that you can scrape by
I know I'm VEEEERY late to this, but it turns out that you can kill the "unkillable fish" with the dread talon. To all of you who still play the game + hate that fish, go ahead and use this tactic ;)
Im gonna Say a Thing to you can you beat Shovel Knight Without Touching The Ground you can use any Character anything your Allowed to Touch at the beginning but the rest of the game ist Forbidden
