i love how your interaction with true king allant just felt like the epitome of the last step before a true mental breakdown which im sure we'll see in the next knife only challenge run... i both pray for your sanity and also CANT WAIT to see that breaking point and the warcrimes your gonna haveta commit to restore your sanity XD
Fun fact: Bluepoint removed the duplication glitch just to make JK suffer doing knife farming Also I already couldn't believe that it was possible to turn Adjudicator into an obstacle, but here you demonstrate how you can even turn true king Allant into one.
Thanks for sharing your actual irl strategy for collecting throwing knives. A lot of runners just say that something presumably will take ages to get through, and then smash cut to it being finished
that was a very knife run, good sir. loved it. as a student of the firebomb academy it fills me with joy to see the throwing knife academy stay strong.
I'm amazed that you didn't give in and dupe the throwing knives earlier, which would have been totally fair, if you ask me. Luckily, Elden Ring should be a lot easier, kukris actually do pretty good damage, they scale, and they cause bleed. It's one of the easiest ways I've found to fight Lansseax on all bosses runs.
I think i would have quit this run 15 times over just from the starting area. I cant believe how much dedication you have for all of this. This vid deserves every view it gets and likely so much more for all the suffering that you went through for those damn knifes :v
With stuff like that knife farm I think it’s completely reasonable to just dupe or cheat in max knives. I don’t think anyone wants you to farm for weeks and weeks on end for the sake of authenticity. Just proving that getting the knives legit is possible is enough.
Finally, FINALLY I can watch this video! Great run! That grind at the beginning looked like absolute hell, also the sobbing 'I was free!' line, that's a big mood lol
Knife to meet you Looks like JK is going back to the classic of his throwing knife academy, and it means Firebomb academy is getting a worthy opponent.
The amount of work you put into this run is astounding. mad respect dude. i would have NEVER done this. i love the souls games to death but your a mad man ( in a good way ). incredible
I feel like just the challenge itself is hard enough, so farming souls which is just an easily repeated tedious task could have been replaced with duping, modding, etc.
Well, correct me if I`m wrong but I think you can farm those stealth knives in a relatively easy manner. Kill those ninja guys that drop the daggers by luring them to the fire downstairs and make them commit suicide, you can actually grab the items they drop. I think I used that trick to farm some white herbs when I played the game. Although it was in the original demon souls not the remake so idk. Btw, congrats this is an amazing video.
Yeah it was more the time it would take, it's a bit of a run to even get to them and luring them down to that flaming ball is inconsistent at best. Farming 99 would have taken a really long time that to be honest I was not prepared to put into this given how long it had taken already. Glad you liked the video 🙂
You determination is par to none. It is awful when gaming becomes a mindless job, so I hope you find joy in your following videos. You're a legend, man
Dude… I would have absolutely accepted a start with 999 knives. After your explanation of where they could be bought I thought “Ok, he can just cheat some in to start” and then you kept talking… and kept going… and kept grinding… the dedication of this man!
Honestly, mad props for not just using the storage dupe. I don't actually know if it's possible for the remake, but in the original you can just duplicate 99 of any item you want with stockpile thomas and the blacksmith.
As someone who has done a consumable only run of DS2 I honestly can't imagine limiting myself to only Throwing Knives in any game where they're worse than they are in DS2. The animation speed combined with the low damage would be infuriating to deal with and I simply don't have the patience for something like that. Hats off to you for enduring challenge runs like this.
Your therapist will have to put in extra hours after this XD Anyway your magic video inspired me to make this challenge myself (on three characters cause i'm pretty bad)
Loser Challenge Runners: I spawned 1000 knives so this was possible! Chad JKLeeds: I spent 2 months getting the required knives by an insanely low drop rate
Congrats on the journey lad. I look forward to more of your interesting challenge videos. I'm already doing one based on your Ng, ng+, ng++ runs with sorceries, but I did a random selection of weapons and got daggers, whips, then halberds. Good luck to you in the future.
Well done you crazy bastard. I would've probably thrown in the towel the moment I realized that I can't buy the knives right off the bat and had to farm them from the knight like a madman. Thank god for people like you so I don't have to do things like this challenge myself and no innocent controllers get hurt in the process.
You are the only person other than me I've seen with footage of the dragon god ballista skip glitch. Unfortunately I was on a faith build and had no ranged options, so thank you for showing he can be killed in that state.
Absolutely respect the dedication to make this run as authentic as possible But for the future, I don’t think any of us would be less entertained with you not farming your sanity away in other runs
0:32 Talking about how long this run took, and I can't help but giggle at spending so long getting the right facial hair, only to immediately cover it up with a mask. Maybe there's some symbology there.
Oh boy, here come the next installation of JK Leeds grinding his own sanity to fine dust then blow it through the last Hell Gate into Oblivion. Thank you for your sacrifice.
This exact run might actually be fun in Elden Ring. It has so many different throwing knife items, and before anyone asks; yes bone darts count as throwing knives.
Elden ring consumables are literally op compared to any other souls games, many different variations, scaling up with stats and there are millions of different buffs that work.
Do you... do you need a hug? some snacks? therapeutic recommendations? Absolutely amazing run and I'm so impressed just by how you *start* shit like this. Fantastic work!
25:22 my 10-month old daughter has that same controller toy in pink 😅😂 But damn, can’t wait for the next installment, hopefully it won’t be as crazy as this one was.
Technically you DID kill the Phalanx goons with a throwing knife, you just didn't throw it to kill them. It's all about finding the loopholes in a challenge.
i mean the run is valid, phalanx couldve been free with just the starting dagger in my opinion due to the other games needing the starting bosses killed without throwing knives
Amazing run! I honestly don't mind if you do workarounds like dagger stabbing the Phalanx. It's just as interesting to see what isn't possible as what is possible.
20:14 - in the PS3 version, you could kill the first Maneater shooting him with a bow and poisoned arrows before crossing the fog wall. I don't know if it's still possible in the remake, nor if it's possible with kunai, but that cheese immediatelly came to mind.
@@AutoZone0001 yeah, most likely not. You had to use a bow with long range in the first place (can't remember if I used the White or the Spider bow when I did it), and throwing would be pretty much free-aiming...
22:20 he said the boss is impossible and only said two of the throwing knifes he had access to when at 15:20 he told use about the stealth throwing daggers
Honestly if there is a way to farm/buy infinite knives I think its fair since arbitrarily farming for months for runs like these is soul crushing and if you dread the video itll def burn ya out
I wonder if that dragon god ballista skip could be useful in a speedrun... They'd have to be an INT build I guess for the ranged damage, but could work

You have lured that knight off an edge so much you deserve an honorary Ph.D from the school of Patches
Someone should patch in “Ergh, that was uncharitably done!” for future recaps of this legendary run; just as the knight hits the ground?
This should be a trophy in a souls game
Knight to JK: I'm not falling for it this time for def! (knight charges off ledge to his death)
A patch of honor.
Msc maybe, as he only lured it imstead of kicking.
Have to admire the dedication, as always. This run took so long it could’ve started telling its own dad jokes
Fun fact: Bluepoint removed the duplication glitch just to make JK suffer doing knife farming
Also I already couldn't believe that it was possible to turn Adjudicator into an obstacle, but here you demonstrate how you can even turn true king Allant into one.
That's the true goal of our challenge runs: to make normally easy bosses into traumatic experiences!
Thanks for sharing your actual irl strategy for collecting throwing knives. A lot of runners just say that something presumably will take ages to get through, and then smash cut to it being finished
that was a very knife run, good sir. loved it. as a student of the firebomb academy it fills me with joy to see the throwing knife academy stay strong.
The poison only academy both recognizes and salutes your efforts and endeavors!
Now I want a collab with JK and backlogs

Mandatory actions should never count against challenge runs. The game forced your hand into using something other than throwing knives.
Finally, FINALLY I can watch this video! Great run! That grind at the beginning looked like absolute hell, also the sobbing 'I was free!' line, that's a big mood lol
Glad you finally got to see all this bullshit 🤣
Knife to meet you
Looks like JK is going back to the classic of his throwing knife academy, and it means Firebomb academy is getting a worthy opponent.
They should do a pvp match to determine which is best
@@Blandy8521 Agreed it would the battle of the century
a worthy partner more likely. Let's not divide over the choice of consumable

You have the patience of a monk. I would've started using cheats to spawn the daggers at the Phalanx fight XD
Fair play dude, that’s an incredible commitment to a run!
Thank you!
Whats your favorite challenge run that you've did?
Not this one

You’re such a legend my guy, I’ve done many challenges in demons souls but oml that’s just too much for me lol
Wow, you didn't even mention it, but you had 2 knives remaining for Phalanx.
I enjoy grinding but no chance in hell i would grind out that knight for months. I tip my hat to you sir. You deserve a medal 😊

23:20 Poison and death cloud+thief's ring: Think again
I can't believe you reminded me how great a song Riders on the Storm is with that joke. Good on ya
great video as always mr leeds, i truly appreciate and applaud your effort and dedication. bravo.
In the words of the backlogs: farming is lame, cheats are based
You've got a horrible skill in making me cringe with the bad jokes. I love it. Keep it up.
Ngl I cackled my but off when he realized the power of the stealth throwing knives & needed to farm/dupe them.
Oh boy, here come the next installation of JK Leeds grinding his own sanity to fine dust then blow it through the last Hell Gate into Oblivion. Thank you for your sacrifice.
You have so much more will than I ever could. Sir I accept your victory
Ive never seen a souls created character look like hes filled with existential dread
The one thing challenge runners have that the average person does not is patience. My god do you have patience.

Your mental strength is amazing to survive this much farming
the PS3 version would have been much easier, with the Stockpile Thomas duplication glitch ;)
A good video (my sympathies for your self inflicted suffering) and another youtuber to check out. You sir, are a hero too.
The legendary knife master is back with another crazy run!😂
Oh boy, i found you just two days ago and watched your challenge runs, hopping to get more. And here we go. ^^
The Monster Hunter theme was a perfect choice for the "I may be able to do this" moment after the Stealth Knife revelation 😂
I salute you sir. No way I'd have the patience to try what you achieved. Well done.
outstanding skeleton! you are in another league! those stealth knives really tripped you up huh? XD
the gullwings theme for fools idol is perfext!
I love the support among challenge runners. Like one big family that mostly gets along.
On this challenge run?
“The real Demon’s Souls begins here.”
storm king was always so weird to me
its this giant flying monster that inexplicably has less hp than a random hobo we meet in a prison
Technically you DID kill the Phalanx goons with a throwing knife, you just didn't throw it to kill them.
It's all about finding the loopholes in a challenge.
This man is my hero! Favorite UA-camr
Your dedication is unmatched my friend 👏👏
A Doors and cheech/Chong reference, you sir are truly a gentleman and scholar
Poison is REALLY dumb OP in DeS. This is very similar to a poison cloud playthrough.
Fetch the straitjacket Jeeves, I've gone stark mad.
i mean the run is valid, phalanx couldve been free with just the starting dagger in my opinion due to the other games needing the starting bosses killed without throwing knives
It looks possible, albeit painful, if only someone can mathematically solve that first boss. Cool vid.
I dont often see Demon's Souls challenges. Awesome.
Love the music! Soulslike with monster hunter music 😍
I hear that Shadow Man theme during the Phalanx fight, incredible game if you can put up with the clunk.
Spent A LOT of time playing that game when I was younger. Some really dark imagery for an N64 game
You really put great effort into this run!
That dragon god kill looks like it could be a speed run strat
For those wondering, he’s still in the tent…
I'M NEVER COMING OUT
Amazing run! I honestly don't mind if you do workarounds like dagger stabbing the Phalanx. It's just as interesting to see what isn't possible as what is possible.

you cant do it in the remake. at least not with a bow, ive never tried using throwing knives but its probably safe to assume it doesnt work either.
@@AutoZone0001 yeah, most likely not. You had to use a bow with long range in the first place (can't remember if I used the White or the Spider bow when I did it), and throwing would be pretty much free-aiming...
If you'd started this channel in the OG DeS, you could've easily dupe glitched the daggers and saved yourself all that wasted time farming for them.
This video gives me the weirdest sense of deja vu and I don’t know why
25:50 hold up. Is that Proof of a hero playing in the background or are my ears deceiving me?
that was maddening, but im surprised it was more viable than in DS1. keep those knives sharpened!
Do you know the definition of insanity
25:30 my kid also has that controller toy. It did not stop him from trying to grab mine :(
Same with mine 😂😂😂
SHADOWMAN THEME AT 7:11, LETS GOOOO!!!!
Doom being the best noodle
Yes Demon's Souls challange
Leech and Chong killed me.
22:20 he said the boss is impossible and only said two of the throwing knifes he had access to when at 15:20 he told use about the stealth throwing daggers
There’s also were very helpful item glitch in demon souls that you could’ve used to bypass the farming
