He’s just beaten me at Mario Party 3 times in a row 🥺 Comment here if you think he should sleep on the balcony tonight for being so uncaring to his sweet sweet wife…
Looks you got the scorched end of the stick in this one. The original torch certainly puts the lame in flame, however the followers torch can dish out some surprisingly Olympic levels of incineration
@@JKLeeds I'm stopping these jokes before they get too heated. I can't be doing with blazing rows in this comment section, I don't think anyone wants a flame war. So let's let these puns burn out, okay? ;)
@TREVORVADER it's not horrible, honestly. I only beat the game like 6 times, so I'm like a normal skill player. I also trade a lot of hits, lol. Most of the issues came from being low-level and refusing to grind levels, lol.
@@velarswoodI’ve tried Shield, Bow and Consumables along my probably like 50+ runs of ER so maybe I’ll have to give it a go eventually. Especially since there’s actually a surprising amount of variety in torches.
Funny that you specifically mentioned using the torch’s weapon skill on the Pus of Man, since if you read the item description, that’s specifically what it was designed for. I doubt it was also intended to stagger enemies like a brick to the forehead, but that’s the way the wick burns.
A torch was always in my offhand in DS3. I loved the way the lighting system worked in that game. On happenstance, it also made me realize it chumps some of the basic guys, ended up being a great offhand choice.
13:20 you said that you were able to poise break the wolf, but it actually is guaranteed to stagger if you can manage a headshot during the ice-breath attack. Not trying to be the luhm ahckshully” guy but I think this is genuinely a helpful tip
In defense of the dragonslayer armor having low fire resist, there were a good variety of breath types used by dragons. Lightning, rotten sludge, water from the hydras, whatever Kalameet had going on back in Oolacile... For fire resistance you'd want demonslayers (aka black knight) armor, since those were more closely linked to flame
Dark breath, but there was no Dark type in DS1 so it was Magic breath. Oolacile was all about giving you a preview of what the world would look like if you extinguished the First Flame instead of keeping the cycle going.
It was utterly TORCH-ure to hear JK say: "Drag out even longer" and not take the opportunity to say: "DRAG-ON". I have to admit, I cried myself to sleep after such a legend puns just left that top tier classic pun sitting their neglected and unused.
Im convinced JK has editors chained up in his basement with speakers playing puns 24/7 to drive them mad. I say this as most editors would have an aneurysm from how many puns jk makes XD.
It's funny that Tears of Grace banned the follower's torch in his torch only run specifically because it turned into a normal run - And that's exactly what we see here.
4:41 i have all achievements in all dark souls and elden ring, 250 hours in ds3 alone and a friend who just started playing showed me this bonfire, i didnt even know it existed because i just run past throught it every time
I was watching this on my breaks and on my last 10 minute break, I get two 10s and a 35 minute lunch, and came back to the battle in the Clouds joke. Definitely lightened the mood a bit after a bit of a slog from the last hour.
I absolutely adore (/s) how moments like this 2:37 and this 3:22 are nonchalantly glossed over in Dark Souls I and III, while in Dark Souls II they are used as source of criticism. And no, it's not about frequency. Those happen in the same amount in every entry.
17:17 lore tidbit: it's highly speculated within the community that ancient dragons did not spit fire, but magic. Fire is apparently a thing we see now from wyvern and such, which are a "bastardized" versions of dragon, not purebreeds. PS: this run went exactly like I imagined, with the rush to go for the followers' torch... when a weapon has the moveset of the mace, there's no need to consider anything else 😂 EDIT2: 25:42 rare occasion where jk uses "drag on" in the proper manner and not for some dragon pun... D: I'm shocked!
Kind of want to play final fantasy 9 again after hearing the starting background music. Great work, you're on fire; one of the best videos for light entertainment.
Follower's Torch + Washing Pole, wearing Lothric's Prayer set. Congratulations, all you need is two buddies dressed the same, and you're officially the Shadows of Yharnam!
I don't think an invalidates the run but here's my holiday destination. when I was a kid we went to a simple caravan park called happy holidays on the East coast in Australia and it had simple things like a big bouncing pillow thing putt putt golf and indoor and outdoor pool and arcade and indoor jungle gym and a theatre. I know it isn't the most crazy thing people have experienced but I still have very fond memories there 😊
I've done this run before, the followers torch uses a modified mace moveset which is considered one of the best movesets. Also fun fact, being embered and the torches have interactable fire particles that move when something passes through them and blow in the wind.
You are insane man haha I did my first dark souls 3 no summon run last week and I am hardstuck at midir... And then I see you beating this game with a torch and a few bad jokes... Thumps up
The best feeling is when you crack a joke and it takes a few seconds before I get it and a silly grin appears The tree woman joke just did that, funny af
I gotta tell ya, doing a torch run was a really bright idea. Edit; 4:55 did most of us find the island bonfire on their own while raiding the swamp for goodies? I recall getting invaded and afterwards, being seriously hurt. As such, i figured i should explore since i was almost certainly going to die. I wanted to survey the area so i went to find higher ground. Imagine my delight when I found the beautifully placed bonfire!
Wait, Lemon is editing for Doom, Doom is editing for you.... Did... Did that One Shot Discord just turn into a challenge run video help circle somehow? Y'all just passing things around as needed?
Did this myself a while back, kinda the first challenge run I committed to and it helped me realise that I’m… kinda good at Dark Souls lol. Almost more than beating Yhorm with a shield did.
I got scared at 1:10 cause that actually happened to me when I was 8 years old. Then to top it all I got sunburn and malaria. Still my best Holiday ever.
4:09 i don't know if anyone else has mentioned but fire damage completely screws dogs over, this applies to fire/chaos infused weapons and pyromancies too ofc
I watched the backlogs "candlestick only" run and when they said you were preoccupied, I figured it was a challenge-runner doing self flagellation, but didn't know it was this bad
I remember my own run of Torch only a year ago, thing was wild because I forgot about follower's torch all the way till later I managed to kill deacons with just the TORCH and even the Abyss Watchers, but then I finally remembered that I could just get a better torch lol And also the reason it's that viable is because it's kinda just a hammer moveset with unique heavy lol But that's definitely one of my favorite runs ngl, Follower's torch is just that fun
He’s just beaten me at Mario Party 3 times in a row 🥺

What, you want me to lose on purpose? 🤣
B A L C O N Y
How dare he does this to Mumshroom. To the Balcony!
to the balcony
Balcony time
If I don't hear this green man say “Away Away!” at least once, I will be one very sad robot in a uncle Sam suite
Hahaha you might be disappointed
@@JKLeeds 🥲
hah, i get it.
YOU 🫵
ARE NOT WANTED 'ERE‼️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
@@JKLeeds cursed beast!
Looks you got the scorched end of the stick in this one. The original torch certainly puts the lame in flame, however the followers torch can dish out some surprisingly Olympic levels of incineration
Definitely took a fiery disposition to get through this one
@@JKLeeds I'm stopping these jokes before they get too heated. I can't be doing with blazing rows in this comment section, I don't think anyone wants a flame war. So let's let these puns burn out, okay? ;)
That's the difference between a normal torch and a torch fueled by faith. Praise the Sun.
You could say the Followers Torch really heats up a run. Truly lets you blaze through the game.
I love that I immediately read this in your voice lol
The armour doesn't help Siegward climb out of the well. He just doesn't want anyone to see him naked.
Genuinely shocked a torch was that viable
Me too! 😂
Part of why I was surprised why Fextra didn't have a page. Moveset kind of bop.
Literally outdamages so many normal weapons
16:13
“I found Prince!”
“No, _finger_ prints!”
“I don’t think so.”
Animaniacs, genius 😂
I came down here to comment that, why you gotta call me out for being unoriginal 😭
I started a torch only run in elden ring. It's been enLIGHTening..... badachoo.
time travinging is wild
Nah hold on man, you cant be time traveling like this
I’ve considered trying that run but man I know it will be suffering so I’ve never torchured myself.
@TREVORVADER it's not horrible, honestly. I only beat the game like 6 times, so I'm like a normal skill player. I also trade a lot of hits, lol. Most of the issues came from being low-level and refusing to grind levels, lol.

2:37 we all know what happened, Vordt let one rip to get a speedboost
Facts
lmao get crop dusted

btw the follower's torch weapon art does a crazy amount of damage, scales off INT and FAI, and is roll cancellable
Be like Vergil, bury the light in your enemies
13:20 you said that you were able to poise break the wolf, but it actually is guaranteed to stagger if you can manage a headshot during the ice-breath attack. Not trying to be the luhm ahckshully” guy but I think this is genuinely a helpful tip
The term "Ring Sting" during the dancer part made me laugh for 5 minutes.
That FFIX background music is so nostalgic! Great vid, tanks JK!
16:36 I always assumed it was because he was too wholesome and shy to climb out without wearing anything
12:35 Double bite pun with the frostBITE and the bite from the wolf. He's becoming too powerful
Didn't fancy Gundyr skip then 😅
LOL FUCK NO! I'll leave that stuff to the professionals i.e. you! 😂
Wow! Here I am, thinking I have beaten DS3 and instead was enlightended with the fact that I missed not just one but several bosses.
In defense of the dragonslayer armor having low fire resist, there were a good variety of breath types used by dragons. Lightning, rotten sludge, water from the hydras, whatever Kalameet had going on back in Oolacile...

My favourite holiday destination is the island of TORCHtuga.... but Gundyr is still the same as the asylum demon ;D
the more i look like oceiros, the more accurate "like a dragon mated with a cuttlefish" becomes
02:38 bro got you with one last fart. Actually showing you Dark Holes (III)
Definitely hyped for the "everything is fine" meme in video form!
This is definitely a BRIGHT idea for a challenge run
As an Elden Ring player, seeing a Torch perform a Visceral/Critical Attack made my soul shiver 😭🙏
This run is going to be torcher
I'm here for the fextralife shade at the beginning.😂
The dog that got stuck must have been a doorberman :)
It was utterly TORCH-ure to hear JK say: "Drag out even longer" and not take the opportunity to say: "DRAG-ON". I have to admit, I cried myself to sleep after such a legend puns just left that top tier classic pun sitting their neglected and unused.
1:10 I’m sorry a what!
That's how they say it in Italy 🇮🇹
I think bolognese is the one with no shrooms right?
Im convinced JK has editors chained up in his basement with speakers playing puns 24/7 to drive them mad. I say this as most editors would have an aneurysm from how many puns jk makes XD.
Let’s gooo!!! I’ve been running out of jk leads videos
The follower "torch" is literally a shortsword with ever-burning linen wrapped on the tip.
Of course it's a good weapon.
In fact, that 2nd bonfire on Road of Sacrifices might very well be my pick for cosiest bonfire in DS3
It's funny that Tears of Grace banned the follower's torch in his torch only run specifically because it turned into a normal run - And that's exactly what we see here.
"frankly midir" was a top notch pun!
4:41 i have all achievements in all dark souls and elden ring, 250 hours in ds3 alone and a friend who just started playing showed me this bonfire, i didnt even know it existed because i just run past throught it every time
I was watching this on my breaks and on my last 10 minute break, I get two 10s and a 35 minute lunch, and came back to the battle in the Clouds joke. Definitely lightened the mood a bit after a bit of a slog from the last hour.
Instead of pure torchure this run turned into a torchure of information about how viable the follower's torch is. Gotta love that

24:58 haven't heard that meme since AMV Hell 1-3 times
This is gonna be good
I used to use the Follower’s Torch for PvP a lot. That WA is actually pretty good at roll catching if you free aim it

Congratulations, all you need is two buddies dressed the same, and you're officially the Shadows of Yharnam!
Fire video my guy. Really shed light on the torches in this game.
JK and Press Continue is where I get my lifetime supply of puns 🤣🤣🤣

Quite a bright side of things from this video! Great work my dude

As always, your runs and puns really "light" up my life! ❤🔥 (Oh, love the new overlay comments!)
Hearing the words "Ring Sting" may very well be the scariest thing i have ever heard in relation to dark souls
13:40 that was literally perfect ad placement
You are insane man haha
I did my first dark souls 3 no summon run last week and I am hardstuck at midir... And then I see you beating this game with a torch and a few bad jokes...
Thumps up
Bro your jokes that you just leave the viewer to notice themselves are great, i genuinely chuckled at titanite shrines from the shard hand maiden
This video kept me torched up, it fired a warm feeling in my heart, truly a delightful experience, there's not much i can say besides torchful
I love that the 'torch' is just a pair of socks wrapped around a broadsword.
Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch vibes. XD
Amazing run.
Somewhere, Zero Lenny is smiling. iTS THE THRILL OF ONE MORE KIILLLL
4:30 “We could do the greatwood”? THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!
Cyberpunk 2077 using only throwing knives when?
thank you for putting the FFX-2 music in your videos
it brings joy
Me too! Awesome soundtrack in that game
The setup and payoff for that Kriemhild joke was astonishingly good.
god, how embarassing it must be getting killed by a green goblin with a frigging torch in his hands!
The best feeling is when you crack a joke and it takes a few seconds before I get it and a silly grin appears
The tree woman joke just did that, funny af
Awesome Vid!
Thank You very much for Your Work! Greetings from Germany
This is gonna be legen- wait for it - DARY
Great challenge run as always, thought i want to say soemthing. Everytime torigoth is used as background music, i just cannot stop smiling :)
my favourite holiday destination is in the embrace of the Emerald Herald.
This run is truly unMATCHED. Striking indeed.
This is definitely on brand for you.
First video of yours I've watched. Came over from the Man vs Stream vod. And I just have to say... the puns... I approve.
I gotta tell ya, doing a torch run was a really bright idea. Edit; 4:55 did most of us find the island bonfire on their own while raiding the swamp for goodies?

I feel like i need some more protection.
Proceeds to run around in just his pants.
a better name could've been "torch you're ahead"
Nice video and wordplays as always, cheers
That Gone with the Wind reference took me so offguard lmao. By far your best pun as of now😂
11:48 "Hey wait! I said hold the lift!"
I don't usually blindly follow someone around, butt this run was certainly enlightening.
These were some HOT references to final fantasy and DC
Awwww that horror doggo wanted its belly rubbing.
This is ZeroLenny's DS3 experience, but if he optimised and had a strategy beyond "shmack 'im wit da fire schtick!" 🤣
Good job this wasn't me playing this. The farts coming out of me would cause a firey explosion and melt the skin off my body.
Wait, Lemon is editing for Doom, Doom is editing for you.... Did... Did that One Shot Discord just turn into a challenge run video help circle somehow? Y'all just passing things around as needed?
"Hey, I could use some help with something"
*half a dozen different people reply* "What's up?"
This is the exact order I like to defeat bosses in this game!
Did this myself a while back, kinda the first challenge run I committed to and it helped me realise that I’m… kinda good at Dark Souls lol.
Almost more than beating Yhorm with a shield did.
And I just learned that torches can be upgraded... because why would I ever have needed to know that information before.
Man, this vid is pure FIRE. Absolutely LIT challenge.
I just know Lenny is watching this with a tear in his eye
l limited myself to only basic torch for additional misery and doing Yhorm like it felt like huge achievement
This video surely torched me a thing or two
I got scared at 1:10 cause that actually happened to me when I was 8 years old. Then to top it all I got sunburn and malaria. Still my best Holiday ever.
I for so long was like, "What about the black flame torch?"... Elden Ring... Elden Ring is what it's about 😂
4:09 i don't know if anyone else has mentioned but fire damage completely screws dogs over, this applies to fire/chaos infused weapons and pyromancies too ofc
Running past cute stone bois=correct choice.
I watched the backlogs "candlestick only" run and when they said you were preoccupied, I figured it was a challenge-runner doing self flagellation, but didn't know it was this bad
Oh, it wasn't this he was referring to, it's WAY worse than this video....you couldn't even imagine
I like how we all know what the actual preoccupation is, but it's just an open secret that nobody says directly lol
I remember my own run of Torch only a year ago, thing was wild because I forgot about follower's torch all the way till later
I managed to kill deacons with just the TORCH and even the Abyss Watchers, but then I finally remembered that I could just get a better torch lol
And also the reason it's that viable is because it's kinda just a hammer moveset with unique heavy lol
But that's definitely one of my favorite runs ngl, Follower's torch is just that fun
Fired joke caught me off guard after it took me a sec! LMAO
If you choose the fire monarch you get to start with the torch.
it's always so crazy when a challenge run ends up being fun or easy/
