Dark Souls 2, But I Fall On My Face Every Time I Attack (NG+ Fresh Start)
Вставка

- Can I beat Dark Souls 2 using only the Special L2 attacks of the Smelter Hammer starting fresh on NG+? The smelter hammer has a unique 2-handed spinning attack that literally launches your character forward and face down upon the ground. Doesn't sound so bad? Well, in addition I also cannot wear any armor or level up vitality. Meaning that I will permanently fat roll and have to deal with massively reduced stamina regeneration against new game plus enemies.

I did ask KFC to sponsor me, but they send a message back saying "guess what?" and then a picture of a chicken butt... so... that was that...

Poor guy
Probably becuz u died to covetous😂 btw his grab STILL too slow lol
i dare you to do a god run...
Drinking game: Take a drink every time Press says "Although"
I regret nothing....
Rapid breathing*…w…what press?
Finally, a challenge that made covetous demon fight challenging and interesting - I wouldn't think I would live long enough to see this day. Fantastic challenge idea :D
Man, I was playing Baldurs Gate 3 recently and I got into a fight with a Witch who made illusory clones of herself, and I couldnt tell which Witch was each Witch, was reminded of your videos and started laughing. Now that's some long term entertainment.
You should have said:
"I was fighting a witch which could make clones of herself, so I couldn't tell which witch was which witch, which reminded me of the videos in which you said that"
You taking about the Hag lol?
The Fork pierced Gwyn's leg so hard that it has meat on it in DS2 now lol
Lvl 1 runs, only leveling one stat, no rolling, etc are all amazing and interesting in their own right, but this channel does the best challenge runs by far
Yeah, main problem with all of those is that every challenge runner does them, and once you've seen one, you've seen them all. Stuff like this is unique and therefore much more interesting to watch.
Never in my life would I have expected a run where fume knight was easier than covetous demon
I love the DS2 5 foot drop to broken ankle death so much. Just the right amount of dumb
I once again hope that your face is not messed up
It's way beyond repair already
@@PressContinueI’m sure that’s not true
1:05:04 Press Continue after faceplanting one (thousand) too many times
I think we need to take time to appreciate the fact he managed to make covetous demon harder than fume knight.
You're the only challenge runner who manages to genuinely impress me with creative rulesets and actual super difficult runs. Your jokes are amazing as well. Insane, nice vid as always
51:55- i just realized why the king couldn't defeat Nashanda. We, as players, can easily dodge around the curse orbs. But players are almost always the smallest characters in a souls game.
The king's hit box is too big to avoid the curse orbs. He is playinmg one of those "get 5% biggest with every kill" challenge runs, and hit the boss he can't beat due to his scaling.
Or she gave Vendrick the Deadly Succ
That Alonne fight was one of the most butt clenching feats I've witnessed in a challenge run. Props man
The Fume Knight fight was particularly interesting for this run. Drinking estus directly behind him always baits his overhead slam, which always empowers his sword, which prevents him from entering second phase. Pure coincidence that this play style is really good for fighting him specifically.
Ah yes the great chicken thigh bone run is finally here you love to see it.
Ironic considering Press did a giant fork run 😂
@KainaX122 Oh yeah, that's true.
I havent laughed at a joke as much as I did at the ”that answers the age old question, what came first the chicken or the axe” and it was a fucking pun, and took me a good while to understand
As a heads up for future DS2 runs, the Blossom Kite Shield is actually *hurting* you here rather than helping. The shield has enough weight that equipping it actually makes your stamina regain slower than the benefit the shield provides. The shield is only useful if you are using it as a shield, since it basically becomes almost a 0 weight shield.
So if you aren't using it as a shield, do not use it, your stamina will actually regen slower 99% of the time. It's only really useful at extremely low equip load, or if you're actively blocking with it.
I never laughted so hard with your videos like I did in this one. Those swings and sending yourself flying and the enemies was pure perfection.
What was this video?!?
The humor was off the charts! I mean you always have great jokes, but this one... This one is pure gold! The out of the window launch expectation subversion with the "nursing" of your wounds; her saying no not being the worst thing that can happen; the Chicken Eater song - all pure comedy gold! This video had me in literal tears 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video Press, you never disappoint ❤❤❤
In my experience with this game, taking a little extra time to grab some Seeds of the Tree of Giants can be immensely helpful for dealing with invader NPCs. Make the gank work for you, not against, and sometimes even get a bit of a distraction in the process.
Could also pick one as your starting gift, but I've yet to have a run where the Bonfire Ascetic was the wrong choice there.
I always assumed that giant seeds only work on invading players and not on NPCs
@@PressContinueNope, it's both. Nothing more satisfying than watching Vorgel get mauled by his own dogs, or Dennis meeting up with the Ninja Turtles just across the gap.
Agro works a little weird, but if they start hitting each other, they'll continue to do so.
@@PressContinuethey work on npcs as well. It's the fan favorite method of killing maldron the assassin when he invades at brume tower
@@Noobie_xD_99I've been carthartically backstab-chaining him with poison, but turning that tower into a demon blender for the sprinty bastard sounds fantastic
Watching that Alonne fight gave me more anxiety than any challenge run I've done.
Left-handed needs to be used more. It’s Boxing strats. The liver is on the right side of your body. So if you are left-handed, you can hit it easier. Similar to how most enemies are right-handed and have a shield in their left.
one shot challenge irl
In the nicest way possible: you are crazy.
Laughed my ass off, great video 😂
Fun fact: This L2 attack is also known as 'the bottom's mating dance.'
Omg im currently in the car on a trip and you come and save me with 1 hour of entertainment? Thank you Press!!
Dude I'm so happy I found your channel A1 content man. Also I really appreciate how strict you are to sticking to the rules that you set for yourself (which are fecking insane btw!) also also the little music intros are hilarious 🤘
The female undead merchant rant @34:10 was priceless. was surprised I remembered where that came from
That attack did way less damage than I thought it would (also that date bit, I felt that lmao), great video!
I usually groan at puns but your wordplay is quite insane
34:00 I thought he called someone from rings of power until I realised it's the merchant lady in the sewer in ds1
That was a fun run, thank you, Press
Hey keep up the great work, love seeing these games beaten in so many different ways, watching your runs inspired me to try a soul level 1 run on the original DS and just beat it with all bosses thanks to your guide, can’t wait to see what runs you have planned for the future
Damn, getting stuns like it's Elden Ring on this run. Even from afar, you made Looking Glass Knight stop and look himself in the mirror.
This was one of my favorite challenge runs of yours to watch. Thanks for your suffering 😂
Amazing video with amazing comedy and amazing gameplay , well done press :)
So happy I found this channel. Love the content.
The patience is incredible for these challenges
I love that the way covetous demon becomes a challenging boss is to significantly buff it's health and damage and make it effectively impossible to dodge.
vid goes hard as always!
you never disappoint until you do :)
I've been looking forward to this one!
Your content is always a great joy I aspire to one day to be able to make content on this level 😊
You definitely inspired me to do some challenges for dark souls 3 and elden ring and I thank you for that but this challenge is all you my man lol
Yes keep up the DS2 content!! I love this game (Also more Demons souls plz) Great video :D
Amazing video as always Press ❤
Ugh. My favorite weapon in Dark Souls 2 and my 2nd favorite weapon ever outside of the great club. I'm super happy to see this run
I appreciate the level of torture you allow yourself to go through
genuinely you deserve far more subs
The attack is a metaphor for itself
I need to try that run myself. Looks very interesting
Thanks Press for answering the question most of us would never be asking normally
hey press, its been a while since i watched, glad to see the channel is growing and well. Missed the witty jokes, great vid!
It's been a while? What da hell Garcia!!!
“I’m in spiderweb! I’m in spiderweb!” Sir that excuse doesn’t work for Spider-Man and it don’t work here either lol
OMG, I forgot about the Smelter's spin-to-win, and the belly-flop is just hilarious every time...it's like you're trying to do the Thor's hammer flying thing, but it's just too heavy...
This was wonderful to watch. Thank you, for your suffering!
The fight with Saulden reminded me a lot of low level Morrowind combat.
I hope AC6 has a weapon that makes your mech fall on its face
I forgot this beauty was in the game, I remember how crazy it was back in the day (this is referring back in my day with the game in my purely self-contained offline adventures)
That fume-knight fight was full on jar-jar binks mode the entire time.
My goodness, havent heard someone mention OtzDarva when it comes to dark souls in... *checks notes* Ever! Fantastic work on the run btw.
My man continues to torture himself for our amusement. Thank you so much for being you!
this entire run was basically "the hit boxes are precise only when it wants to be precise"
"Salmonella buff" omg, im crying
Ds2 is the only souls game i haven't played, definitely gonna have to try make time for it sometime. Looks fun and I quite like being tortured to the brink of insanity now and again 🤪
An hour of press continue?? Holy moly it must be Christmas!
Finally! Some food to go with this massive fork and these thousands of knives!
I have to applaud you for the pain and suffering you put yourself through for our entertainment! 😂😂❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The Song at the Intro was sick
Yeah the old iron king popping up on the right side is definitely a thing I didn’t know could happen.
Last time I saw someone struggle with Covetous Demon, I was watching a blind playthrough.
Can't recall if he died to it, but it did do that attack where it tries to eat the player and spits them out with their gear unequipped. He was understandably surprised.
Ah, covetous demon is much harder than fume knight, I'm learning so much about Dark Souls 2 today!
I now started a challenge run, thanks to your inspiration, where I play with the starter class, I think warrior, without leveling up, so basically only getting better with equpiment, rings and weapon upgrades.
It's quite fun, going to the places I know I get better equipment from and stuff, but also still dark souls 2 SotfS, so often pretty annoying as well 😅 But I have to say even with low adp and health, I'm pretty good in the game compared when I first played it.
If I manage to beat the game with that, I'll try a run as depraved and who knows maybe even without armor or something
Yay!!!! New press continue video!!! Week made
21:35 That uh, well ah, shit. Those several years ago... I do remember talking trash about people's love of that thing.
Oh god the pain, how does he have this patience
Seeing Health at 30 and END at 6 killed me inside
Your character believed he could fly like Thor swinging his hammer, but it was more like R. Kelly instead
My instant thought when hes in huntsman corpse "hey! THIS MF GOT THEM FAKE JAYS"
13:49 Got a genuine belly laugh from that comment.
this guy is an absolute masochist
The Nokia 3310 bit alone makes this a worthwhile watch 😂 but yeah, the gameplay is pretty amazing too
Your puns are so clever! You are a master of English
Real missed opportunity not saying "Steak Eater" but still, 10/10 song.
But... steak has nothing to do with it? That would have been really out of place
@@PressContinue you know what, that's valid. I think I was focused more on the rhyme scheme than the content.
I smelt her hammer....and I liked it.
(Great video!!! ❤)
"What came first, the chicken or the axe"
Take my sub and get out lmao
Its so weird hearing otzdarvas name mentioned in a dark souls video in modern day considering I only watch him play dbd
He's pretty much an OG though
absolute mad lad
was that Dopes version of You spin me round?
Link is in the description box
3:42 "You have to be one massive dumbass to allow yourself to get baited down into the water."
10 seconds later...
The fire weapon really makes it look like chicken. Now I want KFC. Also, you should make a video of the hardest boss from each challenge run for the Soulsborne games. That would be pretty funny.
Thank you dutch man
I love it! I *LOVE* it!
Ack ack ack
Hi DSP
Hey @PressContinue I'm your patron now. I expect daily updates on your clench level. If you ever add a higher tier, will we get the updates on an hourly basis? Nothing fancy at all, perhaps a dedicated app that sends graphs and diagrams and the lot.
It's totally not like I'm interested in your ass in any way whatsoever - it's merely for the greater good. Look at it this way; the state of your ass could help advance game design in the future. Straighten out the kinks, so to speak.
Anyway, keep up the great work! I subscribed for your creative and masochistic challenges (wtf dude, I almost worry some times!), your knowledge about obscure game mechanics, your skill level, your witty puns, and funny humor.
Hourly. Updates.
Hey thank you so much for becoming a Patron :) I really appreciate that. But er... hmm... hourly updates? Like when take a piss? Because that happens at least hourly in my case. Of course I have my discord for updates... although not about piss behavior per se. Also I actually have no specific ideas for a higher patreon tier. If you have a specific idea for what would be worthwhile for potential patrons, then I'm certainly all ears
press seemingly never runs out of ideas
Why was bro hittin up kids, guys trying to up-sell his chicken legs 💀
Ah, the old "title plus a billion arguably more significant challenges" challenge run.
It looks like a buffalo wing with the fire buff
What a grill indeed!
The covetous demon was painful live
I prefer the Monster Hunter golf club swing, myself 😂
"In DS2, Flynn's ring has nothing to do with how much weight you are wearing, it's about how low your vitality stat is." Oh for fuck's sake B Team...
Bro I can’t even been dark souls normally
i am suprised he did not ban upgrading the weapon. or even using it at 0 duribility
