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 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.
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.
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
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!
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 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
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
Man when the elden ring dlc came out the build I used for friendly cooperation against Mohg was a bleed fingerprint sheild tank build. You play it right, you can't take damage at all and bleeds happen every two charges. Also you can cast scholars shield on any sheild no matter the affinity to get better guard boost and damage resistance.
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.

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 💀

Love these challenge runs. They're so great to throw on a second monitor while playing another game on the primary.
They weren't lying when they said "Best offence is a good defense"

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

Good day for a Distortion2 video
He hath returned to us.
The chat lmao...
"I love it when the both do like 7 hit combo's"
Chat:
"We do too"
"It is cool"
I pity this guy for having to deal with the chat he has, lol.
Tbf pretty much all twitch chats are pretty stupid and brainrotted
I can do this all day.
~ Distortion2 probably
Captain Distortion
Nice video as always, cheers. Appreciate you showing all these skips and tricks in these runs
*Dies in DS2 from own decisions*
"Man, this game man."
Glad to see the glory of shields being spread.
vanguard demon's cheeks are also being spread

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.
the dude in chat at vordt writing "here comes the chess grandmaster" absolutely made me laugh here
Always a pleasure dist, you find crazy concept that blow my mind evry time 😂

Foreshadowing the smithscript shield
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?
I don’t think sekiro is feasible because spirit emblems are finite.
@@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
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

DS1 and 2 are way easier than 3

Guess you'll have to addendum this run with the dlc since it added so many cool shields lol
i love watching dist have fun, who cares about difficulty this is silly
Bloodborne but you put a poison gem on right hand weapon and use shield on left hand may work
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.
after watching this, I am convinced that from software is obsessed with spider bosses and thicc demons
Can’t wait to watch your dlc playthrough. 👍🏼👍🏼
Shields are the true chad weapons. Who needs to dodge all hits when u can just tank them instead?
"It feels great playing this (Elden Ring) after Dark Souls II... so responsive and... good"
Lmao
The first person to ever die to dragonrider
Ds3 door shield is one of the most fun weapons ever. It's probably my favorite weapon in any fromsoft game.
Abyss watchers doing the combo on u was sick
At 51:00 ❤
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
for fortissax it was like he was using a heavy bowgun, monster hunter style
I didnt realize that the Omenkiller had several attacks ripped straight off the Capra demon
The legendary Dist2 returns to the YouTubs!
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
Glad to see you back lad.
I know it doesn't really count, but Logarius' Wheel counts as much a shield as the Bonewheel Shield in my eyes.
Ferb, I know what I’m doing for the next hour!
The deacons of the deep fight made me wish we had Mohg's sacred spear back then
The most satisfying NIHIL that never was
after piercing shield comes out in the DLC, this video will suddenly become obsolete 😮😮
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 like how DS2 had nearly as many deaths as 3 of the other games lmao
Why didn’t he show Chaos Witch Quelaag cutscene 👀
2:12:26 What is is Margit doing, i've never seen him do that before
souls speedrunners are a special breed of masochists
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.
Who is going to tell this dude about dueling shield...
what is the physik he drinks that gives him resistance to all the effects?
This is like watching darkviperau’s stun gun speedrun
can someone pls tell me how to duplicate twink titanites like that 1:48:00
I'd count Sekiro's umbrella as a shield. You can do it :D
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?!?!?!
Demon souls looks hella fun is it on Xbox ? I played elden ring waiting for the dlc
Unfortunately not, demon souls is a ps exclusive.
32:44 Zacian?
How did i just now realize that prelates charge is Smogh's move with added fire!?
Dude how on earth did you beat flamelurker without dying once -.-
So maybe for the sote dlc,..... thrusting shields?? good vid though have always been curious about the different shields.
3:41am and nothing better to do oh boy just the video of me
Wouldn't the umbrella count as a sheild for sekiro?
Let’s goo new upload
This run is invalid because you didn't do any of the Elden Ring DLC bosses
Sexy man
No
💀
Bro the elden ring dlc wasn't even out
@@Ghost_yt-lol Bro that's the joke
biggest complaints for these runs is that despite using shields he barely ever blocked.
I realize why people think gamers speak a different language sometimes “we’re gonna do garks first then we’ll get the fap ring on the way down”
South tarnished in Bolden by the flame of ambition
Ancient dragon took me a month to beat seeing challenge runs destroy it makes me feel like I’m not a true gamer
Alternate Title : Rise of the sheild hero.
It's the, "Don't let the doors hit you on the way out" run
I was todays years old when I learned you can chop rotten's arms off in DS2
The new dealing shields are actually baller
Strike shield in the dlc woulda made this run easier lol
Doors was one of my favorite ds3 runs when I did it
I'm still looking forward to the DS2 dlc, crown of the rat king
