you, ymfah and Press continue are the holy trinity of DS challenges on youtube. Also this editing is beyond mad, incredibly well put together. Huge congrats man!
I love all 3 as well. Good stuff from everyone. Another channel you might like is Challenger Andy, he's currently working on a DS3 run where every enemy, and possibly the NPC's, are Gael
I once tried a crossbow-only run in DS1. Thing is, unupgraded crossbows do so little damage that most enemies aren't worth the price of the bolts required to kill them. And there aren't any of those fancy weapon arts, so you can't do damage without bolts. Hope you like kicking hollows off ledges.
@@Be_And I definitely think it's still possible, just that the early game will be very tedious. I think it'll probably get easier when you get the Lordvessel since you can go get the Avelyn after that.
@@Be_And As for Dark Souls 2, the best strat is probably going to be finding the fastest route to the Sanctum Crossbow. It has a special attack where it shoots a dark projectile that scales like any hexes would, without consuming any bolts (But it does drain durabiity really fast though, so you can't really spam it on every single mob you find).
In DS1 you could carry 999 bolts, so ammo was not a problem. On top of that blessed infused crossbows had big damage that didn't need scaling, and shooting with the crossbow didn't consume stamina. So, yeah, crossbows were pretty broken back then...
I like that you can see and feel Be And getting more comfortable doing these videos, every subtle jokes is also really fucking good not to mention the overall video quality. Chef's kiss.
You should check out ymfah then. Pretty much where the dude got his inspiration from. Almost the exact same editing style. He's done some mega challenges as well.
I was a little apprehensive at first thinking this was just a ymfah ripoff, but I was pleasantly surprised. This is truly something special. Keep up the good work 👍
the transition with running past the priest woman to making it a stone wall as you jump down to the secret bonfire was the most creative thing I have fucking seen. I love you, have my kids.
The FullMetal Alchemist reference during the Giant scene was possibly my favorite use of Roy Mustang’s wonderful voice I’ve ever seen, great video friend.
With this editing, music, creativity - you are no longer a "man who looks-a-like them" for a long time, as they calls you, you are now clearly "pantheon of sex-gods" member. Wish you a larger audience that you rightfully deserve, king!
So, idk if anyone ever talks about this, but it's a neat bit of trivia that MAY have some optimization uses for doing Yoel's questline. When you are given the dark sigil, there is a point value added for every death at certain stages in the "cycle" in which you are leveled via Yoel. After you take your first free level, every death gives you a total hollowing point of 1, no matter how many times you die. However, once you level again at 2 hollowing points - 2 deaths - every death after will be worth 2 points. So, after the first level, every 2 deaths you can go level with Yoel. This caps at 5 points per death after you've gotten all 5 free levels, which coincidentally also is the minimum number of hollowing points (15) needed to go fully hollow in appearance.
A couple of things you may wanna know about crossbow. It's directly worse to two-hand them, they use more stam and take longer to reload. Also, you can cancel part of the reloading animation with a pivot similar to the estus cancel one.
you must immerse yourself in all the soulstubers too, none of these references went over my head. For being such a relatively small channel the quality is seriously off the charts, it definitely shows that you love what you do.
If commenting really does help the algorithm decide which videos to promote then I have to leave one here, the absolute effort involved in these videos is insane
@@Be_And I found your videos from that very algorithm after watching other challenge video people, and I'm glad I did. Thanks for all the time you put into these videos
"If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment, so I can delete them." This is by far my most favorite quote, thank you for adding it in this great video :)
No Old demon king, no Oceiros, no Champion Gundyr, no Storm king/Nameless king, no Ancient wyvern, no Midir... But well, I guess if you can get Gael's crossbow and use that glitch then they are gone easily. Good video, and as always, good choice of songs.
great video as usual, the editing is GREAT and inspires me to improve at it, the text is amazing each text appears in a different time, text for boss names, text for glitches, text for video parts, and music linking with the clip i know how annoying it can be to do that but looking back at it after being done is worth the hard work, but i would like to give a tip, for decons curse build up that makes it a DPS race you can just stagger the tall ones with a headshot, the ones that are holding their hand up in that curse attack, they will stagger and stop the curse build up, staggering one is enough but when they do it again you will have more than 4decons doing it meaning you will have to stagger more decons next time if you don't stagger all 4 of them, that tip is IMPORTANT if you will ever do a challenge with shit damage
I have never laughed so hard at those enemies falling down the ladder hole in Farron. It just went so perfectly, and all three of them just charged off the edge at _full speed,_ one after another. I have never seen that go so well.
Wow your editing skills are very impressive, you Dont edit too much and when you edit it looks very good and fits into the video. I love it. Keep up the good work!
Another great video. Everyone makes the ymfah comparison, but yeah, your videos are on that same level of quality. Plus, you actually upload relatively frequently, so that's a great bonus.
I’ve seen every ymfah video 10 times each so I knew most of the strats you were gunna use in this run but BRO !! This is still an amazing video that I enjoyed watching. You and ymfah may be similar but the differences in your editing style, story telling, and joke delivery is what I love about your content.
You keep raising the quality bar with every new video, holy based. The jokes, the music choices, editing - just impeccable. Great job, skelechad, may the amazing chest be ahead of you!
Remember, >Never elaborate

Holy shit. The quality on this is through the roof! Amazing run and amazing video! A++ sir
Thanks homie, appreciate the kind words!
You've given me inspiration to try this myself! Already forgot how to do the dark hand glitch though so...everyone wish me luck!
Glitch is at 24:50
Good luck!
Wow, was not expecting Nuclear Throne music. Sick music taste.
Indeed.
This video is Incredibly well made, I really like the slick editing and camera work.

Bro, when that Dark Cloud music kicked in, nostalgia overload. Truly a man of culture.
IKR?? I never expected to hear Dark Cloud 1 OST in a DS3 video
I wasn't expecting it but am so glad it was there.
as a crossbow connoisseur this vid slaps.
also Nuclear Throne music, that too.
_Ah I see, a man of culture_
You're probably my favorite dark souls challenge runner at this point, editing is the best!

As top tier as always holy shit how you do it man, its a delight to watch a new upload.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES ANOTHER VIDEO FROM YMFAH SON.
Good news: the allfather is now subbed to the channel. Biggest W
Honey, discount ymfah has done it again!
In al seriousness, it's absolutely beautiful. Videos like this almost makes me want to do these crazy runs.
I was a little apprehensive at first thinking this was just a ymfah ripoff, but I was pleasantly surprised. This is truly something special. Keep up the good work 👍
Truly, for it ain't ymfah ripoff if you do gachi references
How do you be a ymfah ripoff and not be impressive?
Your content just gets better and better! Keep going, you deserve the explosive growth you're going to get!
Eternal respect for putting the Subspace Emissary music in that was a blast from the bopping past
always lookin forward to whatever you make, keep it up big man 😘
You know it homie, as always, more to come!
Highly under rated creator, you earned yourself a new subscriber! Very good editing and timing with your music!
Man I just settled in for the night and this is just what I needed, cheers
the transition with running past the priest woman to making it a stone wall as you jump down to the secret bonfire was the most creative thing I have fucking seen. I love you, have my kids.

Step 2: Get the Avelyn
Step 3: Yes
that old man reference with the crows earned you a thumbs up m8

Using Ymfah's lines for Gael is such a chad move XD

This channel is criminally underrated, absolutely a champ here.
Wasn’t expecting to see a Be And video in my feed today but what a pleasant surprise. These videos make my day.
That dark cloud song ahhh my heart rings back so many good memories
21:27 when I realised its dark cloud soundtrack my heart started to beat like crazy. I love you bro haha
I expected a run for the Avelyn then doing the ammo swap glitch to use great arrows.
I was pleasantly surprised. Well done!
I so appreciate the "Es tus, Brute ?" Caesar reference at around 3:30 man
Dark Cloud theme give me happy feeling
So, idk if anyone ever talks about this, but it's a neat bit of trivia that MAY have some optimization uses for doing Yoel's questline.

The fact that you only have 30k subs is criminal. Hopefully I can contribute to you growing to the amount your quality content deserves.
I'm a little late but just finished this run myself. It's a very fun one and I was even able to beat Midir with the setup. Great video!
starting off with Nuclear Throne music are we?
Now this is a true crossbow enjoyer
Wow nuclear throne. Never thought I'd hear it in a dark souls video. Thank you

Was a lovely surprise to hear dark chronicle music
I gotta try this out myself! The darkhand glitch makes it look fun as *HELL!*

Gotta love getting Nuclear Throne music out of nowhere. Love that game.
i recognize that dark cloud beat! Oh man the music in those games were a bop.
one of the best dark souls contend i ever seen keep it up man
9:00 the FMA part man, i felt that so much
Ymfah is gonna be proud....
"It's gonna be one of those runs, restart if u die"
Hearing the hardline music just sent me into a nostalgia trip.
Every upload is a gift, amazing job
The Dark Hand sure found another great use. GG on the video man.
1. Amazing video, love what you do
2. Got a crossbow ad for this video lmao
Just yesterday was thinking u or ymfah should do an only crossbow and today I see this? What a coincidence my man, good video btw
