- SexyPartySolaire continues his search for the ultimate party, this time through the lands of Drangleic.
As expected, whip noises ensue.
We've already cleared Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne, but after over a year hiatus, it's time to finally complete Dark Souls 2 and move the series forward. Surely, with all the new mechanics of Dark Souls 2, the whip run is easy right? ...right? ...guys?
Guess it's time to find out. Can you beat Dark Souls 2 with only whips?

Lemon: "I wanna make sure you got something to eat before we get started."
HE'S IN THE WALLS
HE'S IN THE GODDAMN WALLS
My Uber-Eats literally just arrived😅
Was making Mac and cheese
Was actually eating when he said that
I literally just finished making ramen 🍜😂
As someone who PvPed religiously with whips, their greatest strength is not just range, it's that it can attack through walls and objects.
I remember making a friend ragequit with my powerstanced spotted whip build haha
Still true in elden ring!
@@user-nx5yr8mh8m I ran dual old whips. I had 2 unupgraded, poison infused, spotted whips for people who annoyed me. I got 16-17 heals out of one guy once because he tried to be cute by running in a loop.
@@aclaymushroomwithaberet7084 And DS3
You also can't parry a whip, sans bloodborne
“I also know from experience that weapon sucks @$$” has to be the most relatable statement I’ve ever heard you make lemon
Its pretty powerful against certain enemies since it does bonus damage against hollows but the low durability makes it harder to use
Actually a pretty good choice for Vendrick since you get the bonus hollow damage from it. Assuming of course that you bring a few dozen repair powder.
only time I ever saw a good build for Whip's in any Dark Souls was using the spotted whip with bleed and notched whip with poison in power stance (Like what he was going for). Purely a PvP focused status build made to torment your opponent into panic rolling away, but it did that job a little too well. Old whip is something I have never seen used seriously thanks to the corpse durability bug and lacking large quantities of hollows in most areas.
I use them for PvP. Even with a suboptimal build, they're hilariously strong.
Was making Mac and cheese
Yo Lemon, for any future DS2 runs you do you should know that Large Titanite Shards are free once you reach the Huntsman's Copse. There's a Giant Basilisk at the bottom of the cave just after the first bonfire. It drops 3 Large Titanite Shards guaranteed and respawns so long as you're in the Covenant of Champions. Hope this helps! 🤓
Had no idea!
Also, aldia's keep has infinite dragon bones, since you can bonfire ascetic those along with an hollow that drops 2 ascetics (and some other consumables)... double spotted wips (and double boss weapons in future runs) are doable easier than dual normal weapons to upgrade!
@@MattJDylanhow do you get a duplicate boss weapon? Or do you mean NG+?
@@kahlzun bonfire ascetic and get a second boss soul after beating the boss... technically it makes the zone ng+, but it's still on the same run
it's interesting to see lemon ignore the old whip deliberately, when ji_mothy's whip only run was essentially relying on it for burst damage/boss killing.
I was thinking the same thing
It's the legit anti vendrick weapon
Whipping that poor old man to death

6:12 Did... did he just make a Delicious in Dungeon reference ??? I am flabbergasted ! FLABBERGASTED !!!
Fr I didn't expect that, truly outstanding 🔥
For real though the living armour episode was awesome, I'm honestly surprised I've never seen living armour done like that before 'cause it's a really cool idea.
Actually the best show airing right now, hype to hear Lemon reference it
I immediately searched for this comment, absolutely beautiful stuff
SAMEE
Can we all team up to pressure Lemon to play King’s Field this Halloween?
I don't want like cause you on 69 likes😊
yes, i think we will.
*opens video, pauses, goes to get snacks, realizes i already have snacks, unpauses*
lemon: "...wait, did you even leave..." "i just wanted to make sure you had something to eat before we get started."
HOW DOES HE KNOW-
21:29 Vendrick _can_ definitely be bled, this is how you kill him without any Giant Souls.
Came to say the same thing, except I could never beat him without the giant souls.
My first playthough i had ice and normal rapiers, had 1 giant soul... It took me 30 minutes straight.
Whoever was in charge of the animation for the notched whip definitely was on a quest to make whips feel as little impactful and satisfying to use as possible :D
Look at bloodborne's whips. Way better. Cane whip for class whip, and the classic saw from the dlc I forgot the name tho

Hell yeah

"with a little more whip and zero nae naes"
Lemon, you're a master of writing.
Lemon: "I wanna make sure you get something to eat before we get started."
Me, standing in front of my oven about to preheat it: "Ah shit he already knows."
Been waiting for the DkS2 whips~
with the proper et up of durability rings and powders, I found the Old Whip outperforms the Notched Whip by mid to late game. Its a deceptively "bad" weapon; because it can be given to you way earlier than you have any way to properly use it lol
i'm both surprised and not surprised at all that you ignored the bloodied whip, it has length and poise damage at the expense of being one of the most obnoxious farms in the game to get.
looking forward to the dagger run, i believe everyone should start as explorer, and using two daggers without powerstance is a funny looking animation that reminds me of the sadcat dance meme
5:19 yes about that jumping attack... (gets flashbacks of Ymfah's DS2 "Bow" only run)
Finding out that Lemon also watches Delicious in Dungeon has made my day ngl
There's a gauntlet that boosts Bleed buildup the same way the Sanctum Soldier Gauntlets do for Poison: the Shadow Gauntlets from the beak-helmed ninja guys in No-Man's Wharf/Earthen Peak/Lost Bastille. More farming, but at least it's a base game enemy.
21:44 Where there's a whip, there is a way! Hooray reference!
We don't wanna go to work today, but the Lord of the Lash says NAY NAY NAAAAYYYY
Always good to see Sexy Party Solaire back in action
You know what Lemon? I didn't eat, I'm gonna go make that philly cheese steak then come back with it and eat it while I watch.
Where there's a whip-- **wh-kash!** --there's a way.

But the dork with the lash says, "Nay, nay, nayyy!"

Doing my first dark souls 2 run through right now. Your videos show me just how much growth there is to have in the skill gap.
Hope you have fun and remember if lemon can beat games with bad weapons you got this
Just remember to level ADP
I just did my first DS2 run about a month ago. I called it my "Oops, All Maces!" run.
@@maxdriever7668 yeah I rushed it to 100 agi. I am at frigid outskirts atm. This place sucks man
why spoil yourself the game?
This is legitimately the best I've ever seen whips perform in a souls game. Seeing you hit like 7 enemies at once during the skeleton lord fight was surprisingly satisfying.
The sheer lack of range for pretty much all DS2 weapons made the whip range look absolutely absurd.
You'll enjoy them in Elden Ring then, especially the petal whips
@@IlluyankasUrumi >>>
@Jormyyy it is very very good, personally I like the strike and bleed more than slashing but the unique moves are sick
9:31 i need this WHOO as a sound bite.
Woke up to take the dog out, figured I'd watch this at 2am lmao
Lemon has blessed my saturday evening once more. Thank you, bearer of the firebomb 🙏
6:12 Surprise Dungeon Meshi reference!
Dark Souls 2 will forever be the game on top of my pile of “games I want to enjoy but just can’t.”
I’ve found the best way for me to appreciate the game is watching people like Lemon play it. Keep it up, funny challenge man.
Crack that whip
Give the past a slip
Step on a crack
Break your mama's back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it
When something's going wrong
You must whip it
Whio it good!
Remember The Whio it Good
Im literally playing a run-in elden ring where i got to octopus helms, in a row, thought it was fate and am now playing a duel whip build as OCTOMAN protector of the weak! This is well timed
SPS is back ma boi
Man I just wanna say how amazing your content is after having an extremely rough week and the start of your video just made my day. Keep em coming our firebomb lord
There are two other methods to obtain Poison Stones early:
1. Save scum the nest with Smooth and Silky Stones
2. The Basilisk in the building you find Rosabeth in, just outside of the Bonfire
a. Note that Basilisks drop all of the infusion stones, so it won't be consistent*. However if you don't want to go through a lot of steps to get them it's a really easy farm that takes very little time.
*However this makes it a great farming spot for any build that uses Infusions, you do have put up with getting stuff useless to you, however it's very early and a quick farm, though you WILL need to be in the Company of Champions to have the thing continue respawning.
That spot however is great once you get there, plus it's also a great spot for farming Titanite Chunks. Either a Fire Infused Bow or Fire Arrows will deal with the enemies in the pools, and you just need a good weapon for the enemies that drop Poison Stones.
SPS is back babyy!
The delivery of "You go to hell! You go to hell and you die!" At 16:27 was incredible. Thanks for making videos Lemon, seeing a new video from you always makes my day.
One thing I loved about the whip is the running attack is really strong and quick, especally in pvp.
SPS is so shredded his abs are like +10 tower shields, each individual one infused with a different stone effect.
If there is not a single joke about sticks and stones in this video im going to be HIGHLY disappointed
I... don't get it.
@@OperationOmegaOneI'm almost certain it is supposed to be a reference to a song I don't like enough to remember the name of. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me."
@@Bowsarge Ah, duh. I'm dumb lol
@@OperationOmegaOne
Not dumb, you've probably never heard that before.
@@Bowsargeit's S&M by Rihanna for anyone wondering
Random Lemon Vid is my favourite kind of Lemon Vid
Thank you for making so much content over the last three, feels like i spent about 4 years enjoying your videos, and each one makes me smile. Thank you, Lemon
Lemon: "Make sure you've got something to eat."
Me, eating my lunch: "Good news!"
Praise the Se...Sun praise the SUN😂
I have just enough experience with dark souls that I too could try torturing myself for content, but that is simply not a path I am destined to take.
Thank you for the entertainment, I look forward to trying dark souls 2 for the first time, soon.
Fun fact: Vendrick CAN in fact be bled. It took me about 20 straight minutes of fighting because I was in the end game and was too lazy to go farm giant souls, so I bought like 4 falchions and infused them with bleed and that was it. It takes a lot of hits to build up, and takes a second to ward off before you can reapply it, but I’ve done it myself and can confirm it’s true.
Hm, another few things to just throw out there for no reason, ds1 Dragonbone fist, throwing knives, and my favorite not upgraded fist weapon for only pine resins. Ds3 also has Scythes and shield only runs are also there in all the games. Of course there is dark/Hex only, or you could put down darksouls for a bit to move over to Elden ring for some challenges there! Like dragon covenant abilities only, or only bubbles, or even back to the roots for just only fire, or lightning, etc. just throwing out ideas for ya Lemon! Keep up the fantastic work, the fire bomb academy is proud to have you as headmaster!!!😁
I dont know what it is with this guy, I dont even like Souls games, but Whenever this guy makes a new video, I watch it right away... Its that voice... its so calming and relaxing, that guy could read a phone book, I would still watch it...
Fun fact- the duke's dear freya was originally going to split into two spiders midway through the fight. that's why when she jumps up you can see that kinda weird pinch in the middle. She's basically two giant spider models that have been stitched together, which gives her that really unsettling movement animation
“Where there’s a whip, there’s a way” is such a good song from such an unlikely place
-Saw Lemon upload a video
-Waited till sleepytime to watch it
-Lemon's sweet voice lulled me to a deep slumber
Found your channel not too long ago as well as other Dark Souls challenge youtubers and I've been loving all these videos! I even got the DS trilogy as I haven't actually played, keep up the great videos Lemon!
Nice, i was just running out of "backlogs" of videos of this channel, been binging it for a few days. Back to watchin'
This was very entertaining to watch. Your commentary and the unique build you were using were absolutely worth it! Thank you for playing!
Absolutely loving the Dark Souls 2 content! I once ran through DS2 (pre Scholar) with whips, mainly the poison whip. It was a hell of a ride!
Absolutely adore these videos, also glad to catch one so soon after an upload! Delightful content as always
*This is what we all were waiting for*
(beside the one shot video)
I finally got the courage to play Dark Souls 2, thanks to you and your videos. I always thought that DS2 is the hardest, and it is impossible for me to complete, but I learned from you that everything looks impossible until you do it! Right now, I'm almost completed the base game, and I'm having a blast playing it. Just wanted to say thank you for indirectly encouraging me to play the game, and giving me a mentality which helped me get through some hard times.
"wait did you even leave?" No... No I have not... HELL I've watched this video like 4 or 5 times already... Lemon is my comfort tuber who gets put on in hte background to help me get through life.
A few years ago I decided to do a Whip only challenge run of Dark Souls one, which I had a great time with. I've since gone on to do whip only runs through the other fromsoft titles. Dark Souls 2 is by far the worst one for whip builds. But I'm so glad to see more whip challenge runs! Thank you so much!
2 minutes in and you already said the Old Whip SUCKS ASS? Bruh but that daaamage and the extra damage against Hollows! It's a killer!
You can beat Dark Souls 2 with anything. That's how it's designed
There's something about whipping demons to death, shirtless, that's just absolutely hilarious
Love the challenge runs Lemon, the best to do it on YT
6:15 ah I see Lemon has good anime taste!
Not just because Falin becomes a literally a Dark souls boss
Amazing video as always it was the perfect timing for my birthday:D
13:00 if there was ever a channel motto
Damn, I remember watching you when you had like 10 vids on the channel and you're already at almost half a mil subs. Proud of you lemon. You do good work.
Dude your videos are sooo good, fun adventures everytime 😤👌
Props to my boy for not backing off of Lud and Zallen and the Darklurker despite the horrible runbacks!
I was making pizza for this video way before lemon said to have snacks before the run starts! lol Ive always been a fan of this channel watching it grow, I was one of the early subscribers and I'll always stay here, patiently waiting for new classic lemon content! keep up the great work lemon! you're the inspiration for me to play and record more souls games for my channel too!
I started giggling my ass off when you started grinding for the heide knight helm, i knew exactly what i was gonna see, ive used exactly your armor plenty of times and im so happy you picked amazing fashion
1:42 can confirm the old whip is aweful to deal with early game but i wouldnt say it breaks in 2-3 hits...it will however break at the worst possible times should you ever forget to use repair powders.
but at the same time its a very interesting change in play style when you have to manage your durability mid fight....and then you remember that several dlc bosses drain durability....fun
"Dance for me, servant of darkness; float and flitter amongst the shadows, and frolic with me eternal" goes so fucking hard
Yesssssss 2 mins ago!!!! You’re my favorite UA-camr, bro. You’re absolutely hilarious, man and you convinced me to do challenge runs myself.
FINALLY I have been waiting for this since DS1 whips only. Whips are so fun in DS2
Great run as always man! Keep up the fun content!
Hyped for the daggers run, they're actually quite cool with RoB and Flynn's. Also powerstancing Mytha's daggers is very fun.
I become physically excited whenever I see a new video of yours comes out never stop and never change.
Thanks for asking if I had anything to eat, reminded me about making tea. Can’t wait for the next video, good work dude👍
Always happy to see another post man love your energy
dude the use of spelunky music is so fitting and so nostalgic
Ahhh... it's been a while since i saw the first "try" stream of Lemon with the whips in DS2. Reminds me i should get back to my own whip playthrough and with some good info i might make it even better :3 Great job Lemon and see you next time!
Been waiting for this video since the stream Love the ds2 content
I think these videos are going to trick me into playing DS2 again
Love the videos bro, keep it up.
Praise the Sun.
Not only did I love this video but i was able to watch it in my new favorite hoodie. My fire bomb academy hoodie arrived today and I LOVE IT.
love ya lemon, keep up the awesome work brother
I cannot believe that the seemingly useless weapon you picked up and never used turned out to be the secret technique to beating a boss that was demolishing you. That’s reality mimicking fiction right there, absolutely storybook.
You missed an opportunity to do a fancy reveal of the final fashion with the Pillar Men music playing. Though honestly that would probably summon Santodes, Wamudes, and Karstodes and doom us all to an oily, innuendous death. So...
"Dozens of hours of muttering 'wha-pshhh' under my breath" is really relatable frankly
YEEEAAAAAAAAH MORE LEMON :D been waiting for this one for a while
Loved the Delicious in Dungeon call-out
I LOVE when you upload DS2 vids man, LETS GOOOOO
One of two games where whips are decently viable
I’ll never forget the ancient dragon. The first time I ever fought him I got stuck inside his toes when he took flight so he yeeted me into the stratosphere and miles away from the arena.
Wonderful video I have been watching since the salt and sanctuary videos and still love watching
That "oddly performative" spin-whip attack is pulled directly from Ivy's moveset in Soul Calibur. The puzzling stone sword is a direct reference to her, as well. The sword & shield combo weapons in DS3 are Sophitia/Cassandra references, too, though that's probably pretty obvious if you're familiar with the animations.
I love how he predicted that some of us enjoy his content while eating! It just sets the mood!
