  • Lemon from the channel / @thebacklogs has organized a Dark Souls One Shot Contest based on the classic low level one shot challenge by / @vageta311 . Me and several other challenge runners participated using a scoring system with the maximum score of 130 points. (I mistakenly said 140 in the video) However, scoring points isn't merely about getting a high score, as you're only allowed to level up based on the amount of points you've managed to obtain. And one very important rule: NO GLITCHES!

    *Edit: I mistakenly said 140 points in the video, it's actually a max of 130 points*
    It was really one-derful to participate in this contest. Rough at times, but with Lemon, the juice is certainly worth the squeeze. Given the immense amount of footage he has to sort through, it will likely take at least another month before his video comes out. Now to be clear, the part with everyone's score was merely a joke. I don't actually know anyone's score yet. It is however clear to me based on the points I've lost that I'm not gonna be the winner. So... guess we'll have to find out who will prevail in the end...
    I couldn't include all but basically it contained every non-respawning enemy with a handful of exceptions, like the toxic blowdart guys, the chaos eaters near the red titanite slab, the dragon butts in Izalith, Priscilla and the Asylum Demon.
    Oh and to add insult to injury regarding the dragon torso stone... not only was it not functional because of the casting time, but it apparently wouldn't have worked in the first place even if you could cast quickly enough. I thought the torso stone buffed any type of damage, but apparently it doesn't boost the damage of spells.

    21:05 If you acquire chaos Pyromancy or speak to the Daughter of Chaos or Blighttown witch, then speak to Laurentius, he'll ask you where you learned your Pyromancy. If you select Yes to tell him, the next time you leave and return to Firelink, he'll be gone and the next time you go to Blighttown, he'll be hollow and attack you on sight. So you inadvertently send him to his doom and lose a vendor if you try to return the favor of teaching Pyromancy.

  • @King_Firebrand
    @King_Firebrand 11 місяців тому

    Ok, just a thought about the 4 Kings:
    Could you equip rtsr and magic boost ring, dusk crown and havel armor, then cast power within once the 4th king spawned, and see if one hit by a king is enough to drain you into rtsr range while casting fire tempest? (Or start the fight with a fixed amount of hp missing so a certain attack would bump you into rtsr range)
    Would require some insane RNG, but might be possible. That way you can cast while getting hit and have the pillars go nuts on the kings.

    • @PressContinue
      @PressContinue  11 місяців тому +2

      On discord someone tried using debug mode with all 4 kings clustered together and their AI turn off. Fire tempest still wasn't enough since you have to sacrifice a ring slot while in the abyss. It's not just a matter of getting lucky, it has to be something more specific. Something additional would be required

Pump up Intelligence to 50+ and get Dark Bead asap and before that the Black Knight Halberd or some bonk weapon? Nice video and completed challenge run! :D

    • @PressContinue
      @PressContinue  11 місяців тому

      Well to be fair, without the point system the run wouldn't be all that different, because leveling up was almost never really the issue. After all, pyromancy doesn't rely on points at all. So it's mainly strength for melee at first and intelligence for dark bead and crystal souls spear later.

    You killed Reah of Thorolund! I can't believe this! Also, my own route would've probably been to kill Pinwheel, rescue Reah from Vince and Nico, and only THEN kill Petrus. Then go to the Undead Parish and buy "Wrath of the Gods" for 10K Souls from Reah. Kill Solaire for the Sunlight talisman and later on do 'a little' farming to get the Darkmoon talisman. The AoE of Wrath of the Gods could have given a more consistent damage output for the Four Kings (not sure about 1-shot capability though, as it deals magic damage).
