Watching this just shows me how awful I am at video games the older I get. Very fun to watch - especially seeing the progression of the games over time.
To be fair. The older you get the more responsibilities you have and less time you have honing your skills on games. Streamers get the privledge to work and game at the same time to continue honing the craft
just hijacking the comment section since it's a new video: there are currently potential DLC leaks being passed around on social media so be careful if you care about spoilers
I don't think there will be dlc Leak because it's digital content The leaks happened in the base game because of hard copies I remember a guy streaming on twitch or UA-cam himself fighting Radahn like 2 or 3 days before release 😂😂😂 that guy was insane
I always watch runs like this and I think to myself. “Man I wanna do one of these runs.” So then I start one of these runs. But because I am no speedrunner, I take a long time to complete them, and get bored halfway through.
I remember when I decided to do a fun "Braum" run for Elden Right (Could not wear a helmet to see Braum's mustache at all times, didn't change chest either, and Shield/Fist only). It wasn't smooth by any means (and I didn't use that charging move, which probably could have made my run a touch smoother) but I was glad I was able to do it as well as I was able to. Still need to beat Elden Ring one more time and dive into the DLC, but this was a fun watch for all the Souls titles.
Not only are you good at the game but you have personality during your gameplay. I hate seeing good players be boring or stay silent during the fights. Great job bro
in demon's souls, there's a purple flame shield near the dragons in the first level. only the barbarian can use it right away, but it's great throughout the game. not a lot of options on that front
I remember the fextra rant, haha. And of course this uploads as soon as I get my PS5 and can finally play BB And Demon Souls, impeccable timing. It’ll be a good day!
Holy. Fucking. Shit. As a shield wielder who has beaten all the Souls Games Shield only and now prefers to play through them like this... This is the best video I've ever had pop up in my recommended feed. Thank you, UA-cam algorithms. Amazing video, amazing initiative and amazingly done my fellow Shield Wielding brother. We are few but we welcome you with open arms into our ranks! ❤🛡
I wish he did Sekiro too, the umbrella is technically a shield, and I thought it was possible to attack with the shield in Bloodborne, does someone remember what L2 does again with that shield?
@@Nicky-mk1nv It might be possible if you plan out who you're going to use it against 10 times before the next idol and I know for sure you can kill Snake eyes with just umbrella using project force skill, and you can purchase spirirt emblems
@@Nicky-mk1nv You could have a much easier go of it with the Ceremonial Tanto which gives you more spirit emblems in exchange for HP, but until you get that it would be really ass
Funny how in Dark Souls 3 I don't think he has a single death, at least not all the hard bosses like the DLC bosses but then I skipped a bit into Dark Souls 2 and he has two deaths in like 5 minutes
The first half an Hour of the DS2 run was soo hilarius But i've always founds DS3 to be the easiest of the triology, the rolls are very powerfull and enemies are soo easy to stager, plus the levels are not that bad Ds2 areas can be tough at times and ds1 is soo cheeky, one wrong step, and you die by gravity, plus you can get yourself into really rough situations if you don't have the lord vessel
@@ryukomatoi69420only the bosses. Ds1 is overall harder than ds3, it’s much more punishing and also it’s pretty janky which will definitely get you killed several times. Ds2 is probably the hardest fromsoft game to date because sekiro at least is consistent once you get the hang of it.
Fun fact you can actually do damage with the shield in bloodborne, it's a weird moveswap glitch that can "sometimes" happen and you'll do a shove forward, same as the weapon art for the plank shield in ds3
I remember doing a shield only DS3 run, I did everything up to Friede and stopping there. For some reason I couldn't beat her and got too bored to continue
Correction. Sekiro DOES tecnically have a shield (Umbrella but it counts) And you can parry and deflect whit it. It doesn't do direct damage BUT if you parry enough you can stance break and kill.
I hate the ingrained ds2 hate that so many people have 1:30:32, like what do you mean "this game", the same shit would've happened in every dark souls game if you jump attack near a cliff

Thank you because i kinda wanted to skip around
Thanks, haven't played Demon's Souls yet and needed to skip it.
its good to see ppl like you still exist.
Dark souls 2 took so much longer 💀

Don't worry, it's normal.

Love these challenge runs. They're so great to throw on a second monitor while playing another game on the primary.

I genuinely never realized how much vanguard jiggles. I am petrified and traumatized

I pity this guy for having to deal with the chat he has, lol.

One of the coolest challenge runs I've seen. Loved the edits and cuts. Just earned another subscriber!

Nice video as always, cheers. Appreciate you showing all these skips and tricks in these runs
34:28 the betrayal of not using the moonlight butterfly shield
Good day for a Distortion2 video
for fortissax it was like he was using a heavy bowgun, monster hunter style
The fact this is several hours of editted footage is amazing and worth all the likes.
Bro the anime finish on nameless king. *chef's kiss*
Bloodborne but you put a poison gem on right hand weapon and use shield on left hand may work
I am anxious about my future and struggling to sleep. Gonna put on the rest of this video and lull myself to sleep with your skill, thank you.
Ds3 door shield is one of the most fun weapons ever. It's probably my favorite weapon in any fromsoft game.
I remember the fextra rant, haha. And of course this uploads as soon as I get my PS5 and can finally play BB And Demon Souls, impeccable timing. It’ll be a good day!
why tf is the vangaurd demon so cheeked up
Guess you'll have to addendum this run with the dlc since it added so many cool shields lol
after watching this, I am convinced that from software is obsessed with spider bosses and thicc demons

I don’t think sekiro is feasible because spirit emblems are finite.

L2 blocks, L1 is what you use to switch weapon form. There's no way to attack with the shield in Bloodborne
@@Nicky-mk1nv You could have a much easier go of it with the Ceremonial Tanto which gives you more spirit emblems in exchange for HP, but until you get that it would be really ass

Ferb, I know what I’m doing for the next hour!
I know it doesn't really count, but Logarius' Wheel counts as much a shield as the Bonewheel Shield in my eyes.
Can’t wait to watch your dlc playthrough. 👍🏼👍🏼
1:32:00 Chat being down bad for Najka is hilarious 😂
Holy shit, I'm so hyped for this!!!!
Chat being incredibly down bad for Dancer is one of the funniest things I've seen today.
Shout-out to the chatter who wanted to be pegged by Dancer.
Double door shields is so funny to me for some reason 😂
This is sort of amazing (to me at least). I have no idea what I was doing mucking around with all those weapons and Glintstone magic crap?!?!?!
after piercing shield comes out in the DLC, this video will suddenly become obsolete 😮😮
41:10 "I'm allowed to have some fun!"
Absolutely the fuck not Smadge
Always a pleasure dist, you find crazy concept that blow my mind evry time 😂

Shields are the true chad weapons. Who needs to dodge all hits when u can just tank them instead?
"Just captain america it"
"I can't throw the shield, chat, sorry!"

souls speedrunners are a special breed of masochists
Strike shield in the dlc woulda made this run easier lol
Who is going to tell this dude about dueling shield...
Shields aren’t great, but they’re good. When I met Luet I was ecstatic because finally there was duel shield representation in a souls-game for me.
I was todays years old when I learned you can chop rotten's arms off in DS2
I'm still looking forward to the DS2 dlc, crown of the rat king
I'd count Sekiro's umbrella as a shield. You can do it :D
I like how DS2 had nearly as many deaths as 3 of the other games lmao
Why didn’t he show Chaos Witch Quelaag cutscene 👀
biggest complaints for these runs is that despite using shields he barely ever blocked.
The new dealing shields are actually baller
The legendary Dist2 returns to the YouTubs!
Alternate Title : Rise of the sheild hero.
It's the, "Don't let the doors hit you on the way out" run
Sekiro does have a shield, and it’s insanely good
Well, I would count the Umbrella in Sekiro as a shield.
