Dark Souls - SL1 - NG+7 - Dual Caestus (GBH on 4 Kings)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- Can you beat Dark Souls with only fist weapons SL1 NG+7? Dark Souls Remastered on PS4, Soul level 1 NG+7 with a lightning and fire caestus. Giant blacksmith hammer on 4 kings due to the time limit. No Damage / No Hit obviously with the exception of Sif. Dark souls remastered fist weapons only. No blocking allowed but passive shield effects are allowed. No ranged attacks with the exception of Ingward and the Hydra. Very difficult playthrough because of low damage output and no hit and no damage with a strange design based exception on Sif.

More like 10000 punch woman
The “Give me your lunch money” build
LOL, pretty much
Pro tip, you can improve the damage of any punch type weapon like the caestus or claw by wearing the gauntlets of thorns
Well I'll be... I honestly didn't know that. I guess you're never done learning things about this game.
@@PressContinue I don't think the boost is too terribly large, something like 10 extra points of damage or so. But the boost is flat not percentage, so it's consistent no matter the weapon used
@@HeavenlyHavoc It actually is a percentage based add on.
"Increases the damage of punching attacks by 10%. This includes bare fist's, several Fist Weapons', Talisman's, and Pyromancy Flame's punching attacks. Damage increase doesn't apply to critical damage."
I actually didn't know about this until just looking it up though, so nice find anyways.
@@theworstcatholic7247 This is great information, thank you both dearly I have half a mind to do a Caestus run myself so this is very handy to know.
@@theworstcatholic7247No, it's a flat boost. Gauntlets, leggings and helm gives 20 physical AR to rolling and their respective "limbs", though you can't attack with head. Armor gives 50 AR, with full set resulting in 110 AR.
Never thought I'd hear "The Sanctus heals too quickly". Great video
Dude, your dodges are so on point it's crazy. In the O&S fight there were several times where it looked like you were going to be flattened, but those s saved you. Very nicely done.
Returning to Souls challenges? That’s a hell yeah from me
There's no place like home
It's ironic that this is so difficult considering that the mechanic changes to Dark Souls 3 makes the dual wielded caestus one of the more broken weapons in the game. With a bunch of armor you can just stun lock everything with some L1 spam and poise through all incoming damage, and because it's strike damage it's even more effective.
When Mike Tyson plays Dark Souls
2:41:36 Nice touch!
I'm always amazed how powerfull can a SL1 character be with the right weapons.
I would say some magics, pyromancies and rings
Thx man, this gave me the courage go into NG+ with my SL1. Learned a lot from this!
Btw, hoor ik daar een Nederlands accent?
Dat hoor je inderdaad goed :)
Been binging your content for the past few days because while I finished all these games and have platinum on them, I love tutorials and your content is great man. Severely underrated channel but I shall add to the love and subscribe 8) thanks for everything you do! ✌️
Thank you so much and welcome aboard :)
Currently using this guide to help me wrap up my first ever SL1 playthrough. Made it all the way to Manus, he's all I have left before it's Gwyn time. Glad to know it isn't just me who struggles with those exact same 3 attacks: the catalyst 2 hit combo (and the one that does it backwards), the overhand slam, and the wall of dark magic. Will go get the silver pendant and try implement some of the extra punishes shown in this video.
Edit: Just beat Manus and Gwyn, that's all bosses beaten at sl1!
One thing i've never understood about the Orsntein and Smough fight, is why doesn't the roof fall in? Ornstein and Smough just go around destroying the columns--presumably so you cant hide and power up behind them. In a gothic style building the columns are acting as support and holding up sections of the roof. By all logic after Smough destroys enough of them the whole roof of that room should collapse. But i guess adding in a timed element of destruction to an already tough fight wouldn't be helpful in any way....
Hmmm..... magic????
I just imagine that the 'pristine' state of Anor Londo is an illusion... It explains all the clipping and things
@@nssheepster i mean it probably is since DS3 isn't that long after DS1 and Anor Londo is basically just the giant building and Gywndilin fight and rotating tower
@@nssheepstermist noble style
i really enjoyed watching this video, it helped me understand the map of dark souls
17:42-18:14
When the bully is serious about taking your lunch money.
You deserve so much more clout than 8k subs and 400 some likes you’re a really cool YT, have cool Commentary, and you put so much time and effort into your vids. I can’t wait to see you grow because you deserve it!
Thanks bro! :D
I’m gonna have to agree
I didn’t even know he was a smaller creator, I’ve just been watching for a while and never thought to check lol
All I’ve seen is your broken sword hilt vid. And your already me fav ds content creator, and am I exited about this video one.
I wish there was some way to fight Gwyn before he linked the first flame. He must have been several times more powerful (and bigger) than the Hollow version you fight at the end of the game.
Ahem, Soul of Cinder phase 2
@@damienmcneff7715 it's just copying Gwyn's move set. And not that I didn't very much enjoy that boss fight, it was much more satisfying than DS1 final boss. I just meant true Gwyn from his prime before linking the flame. We don't know what that would have been like. My guess is he was at least twice the size of the soul of cinder, and could probably spam lightning attacks like the Sanctuary Gaurdian.
Huh, I didn't know that you could punch ghosts when you're cursed. That's neat
Overall, really nice video, thank you for putting it out there :)
Technically the game tells you that in the transient curse description but, considering that it doesn’t actually curse you at all it makes sense you wouldn’t figure that out plus, you would normally book it for a purging stone instead of going to The New Londo Ruins.
2:39:55 "Don't ask me how I know that." I dont have to, I have eyes :D.
Also, your fight with Gwyn looks like youre punching him in the balls repeatedly. Interesting Caestus animation :D.
Yeah the parry animation of the caestus is really satisfying :)
Lol, it really does look like he is punching him in the nuts.
i feel like i need to git gud on such a deep level of just the fact you beat the game while cursed
ps perfect for spooktober cause you scare me broski (good video btw)
I like the fact that you show you’re mistakes
Oh only a few here and there. I died like a mofo during this playthrough obviously
Thanks for showing how good ninja roll works agains Four Kings. I can never dodge half their hits with fast roll. I'll try this strat in my SL1 NG+, though I'm not crazy enough to try higher circles, and with caestus no less
This run was mentioned a lot in the broken sword hilt run and in a lot of other videos, I just had to watch, sooo here we go! Don't think I've attempted to watch a 3 hours UA-cam video haha!
I feel that Manus was an inspiration on the way they designed the Cleric Beasts in Bloodborne, quite a number of similarities.
Mad skills
I like how he's still hearting and replying to the comments after 4 years.
That's right :)
@@PressContinuehow was that so fast at 5:00 am for you?
@@notdannydevito3 I have a really messed up sleep schedule
The black knights outside the kiln: 'our lord just did the same thing 6 times, and failed 6 times? Is this dude really a god?
This is the most impressive thing ive ever seen!
Great video!
I've done the Hydra fight with only fist weapons, you might want to uncurse yourself and heal to full just to get past the water attacks, or just get really good at dodging
Ring of fog helps too
your channel deserves to be way more popular than it is. keep it up man!
In the O&S fight the i-frames were 9000,like you combined ds2's lvl adp99+ds3's carthus bloodring.Caestus builds are for sigmas only tho.Respect.
I've never actually paid attention to the O&S theme before, but it's like the most cash grab licensed movie game music I've ever heard
So many close calls in O&S fight - it's heartbreaking )
Yeah that was one hell of a rough ride
I took a moment to imagine what sort of hell it would have been if he decided to kill Smough first. I had flashbacks from Vietnam.
Everyone knows that the plural of Caestus is Ceasticles
very cool, you need more subscribers
15:45 that hollow is actually Dio
So it's the same type of stand as Star Platinum...
Man, this is one clencher of a run! You are either brave or a masochist! Or both!
The line between bravery and insanity is blurry indeed
@@PressContinue As an old school DS vet, I really love your content!
Thanks :)
I watched this video because upon seeing the title, I couldn’t believe it was accurate
i legit JUST realize that Smough giggles sometimes O-o... it's unnerving to say the least
INCREDIBLE!!!
You're an absolute madman
I don't think Gwyn would've ever thought he'd be punched in the balls to death.
Dark Souls is the Punch Out of boxing games
Can't believe you managed to do NG+7 as SL1 and having to no hit a fight to win, while I am stuck in NG+2 with Strength, Vitality, and Endurance all the way to cap, maxed out pyromancy, best shield and BK Halberd +5 XD
I couldn't get past 4 Kings no matter my strategy and armor now has no other point besides poise because even a Fire Link hollow kills me in a few hits. This video had to take a lot of dedication and time even if glitches were used. Respect.
It's been a long time since I made this video, but did I make use of any glitches? I don't recall that I did?
@@PressContinue can't imagine how long it took to get to NG+7 then
Skipped centipede demon?! The most fun boss in the series?! 😂
I hated my sl1 ng playthrough at times because I hated the club. God bless you sir!
You seriously hate the club? Lots of stagger potential, R2 jump attack, high base damage and bleed? I think it's pretty damn sweet. But maybe if you are used to fast weapons it's not gonna be your cup of tea. So what are your favorite weapons in this game then?
@@PressContinue well its certainly better than caestus, but the reason I hated it had to do with me learning the fights and having to commit to an R2 to hit anything and the time it takes to recover from that.
I was trying to use R1 when learning fights to recover faster if a followup came, but you whiff so much doing that id end up dying anyway.
I also was coming from my ds3 sl1 run where I was using weapons I loved.
I honestly don't love a lot of weapons in DS1, one reason I didnt play it as much, but yea, I like halbreds, katanas and greatswords pretty much.
@@PressContinue all around though my favorite DS1 weapon has to be the saw cleaver........
Its super secret...
😏
@@csquared4538 Well, being able to use bloodborne weapons in dark souls sounds pretty awesome :)
You know that prostration gesture after Sif? I felt that :(
That bit with Patches was great, I'm sure it felt good lol.
Yes it did :)
So damn nice to hear "Ornstain"
some of these challenges are just absurd ahahaha
Hmm yeah a little bit, yes
Max difficulty is NG+6 (the 7th playthrough of the game, including initial normal new game), according to the wiki.
I'm aware.
I almost thought this was PTDE from the framerate or lack thereof, during the Quelaag fight. Then I saw the PS4 part and everything came together.
Well to be fair, the video is exported in 30fps. The remastered version does run in 60fps. Framerate dips can still happen though
Me at 3:11 am knowing damn well I’m gonna watch all of this
I would honestly throw in the towel at that Nito fight. Not because it's hard or anything, but because of what dying means in that situation. I'd be super focused on not dying and would probably run straight into skeleton alley
Yeah it's not the greatest of runbacks. But to be fair, as long as you can dodge the 2 giant skeletons in the dark area, it's not THAT terrible if you have to make your way back to Nito if you die.
I don’t understand how you take so little fall damage from catacombs down through tomb of the giants. I seem to take an absolute boat load.
Incredible playthrough, someone once told you to git gud and you really took it to heart didn’t you? 😂 excellent stuff dude
The more health and armor you have the more damage you take,since he has little health and little armor he takes less
I kept trying to play through NG0 with caesti. I'm not good enough to do it, though, and usually get skill locked around Gargoyles. So this is pretty cool for a challenge. Sorry I can't sit through near 3 hours of it, though.
Dou, fantastic
I beat this game so many times and never new about sanctus lol
Any readon in particular you always pick female characters? I usually pick female also(80/20%) and that's mostly because most armour looks betrer on girls IMO. Wbu?
I always recreate the same character in any game that has character creation, which goes all the way back to Morrowind in 2003. So for me it's simply a long running tradition.
@@PressContinue thats actually a very cool reason. Much better than mine at least
Female characters also have a quicker run animation an I think a smaller hit box, been a while but I'm sure i read that somewhere
or maybe because the male damage sounds are questionable
@@Danozzy23 I missed this comment before, so sorry for the late reply. But no, there is no functional difference between playing as a male or female character. The differences are aesthetic. Females don't have a different hit box and not a quicker run animation. I mean you could make your character fat or slim and it won't change the hit box. It's purely visual
Whenver I play punch out, I always get the feel to play Dark Souls the same way, ending up getting punched harder than me punching them back.
Well ngl its way more damage i thought it would be
Seems on my sl1 playthrough i missed a lot of things 😂
RTSR + Power within = MASSIVE damage boost.
@@PressContinue used both only for Kalameet
For everything else just rtsr
I've literally never used the Redtearstone Ring, Power Within or even Bright Bugs. Or any boosting rings. I rarely use weapon buffs either. I don't find them necessary. I do die enough, so I'm no expert.
As it appears, rtsr's vital for challenge runs, but for the "casual dark souls player", I don't know how or when they're gonna use it, and I feel like power within is pretty similar. As for bright bugs, I didnt even know they existed until I was on my 5th Fromsoftware game haha
Somehow it is very sad seeing how grotesque is Gwyn fight in this playthrough
I thought this was darksouls not punch out
My weapon favorite
Soul Tyson's punch-out
13:23 this undead must be an ornstien fan
👏
3 words: You are crazy.
Why'd you do this and then also limit yourself to sl1?!?!! Batshit crazy man, my respect
Wait, did you get to ng+7 on soul level 1? Or is there a way to reset soul level in ds1 that im not aware of??
You can't reset soul level. I just played through the game 7 times on SL1
@@PressContinue OH GOD
Think this is the first time I've ever noticed that the Four Kings individually take more damage than the boss health bar... kinda weird.
What's even weirder is that the "actual boss" is underneath the arena. There's another king out of bounds and it's healthbar in the bottom of the screen. So he takes damage on behalf of the other kings, but given that those kings have individual healthbars as well, there are aspects that can drain their hp quicker like counterdamage, blade vs hilt hits from halberds, etc.
You really never do stop learning with DS...
A yes, a SL1 NG+7 Caestus run. The regular run for "massive casuals" :))
How do you pronounce ornstien and smough.? I pronounce it as orn-steen smough
Do you consider using dung pies on smough acceptable? Or cheap?
I hadn't even considered that at all to be honest.
@@PressContinue you can basically cheese the entire fight without ever touching smough in the second phase of the fight and it might help add to your dps in ng*7
I believe the plural of Cestus is Cesticals
Me: Oh, let me find a guide of punch only to see if there is anything interesting i can do for my run
This fucking dude: SL1 CAESTUS ONLY BITCHES YEEEEEEEEEEEEE
caestus in ds3 is so much better
To be fair, I don't really know. I mainly use it for parrying.
Yeah Sif jump cost me so many nohit attempts I could cry...
you're insane 😁🤦
do a Ninja Gaiden Black Master Ninja wooden sword only playtrhoug. btw in latin plural of caestus is caestus too. 😉
Well that's an Xbox game, and I don't have an Xbox. So that's kind of a problem. I happily would cover the NES games though
@@PressContinue I should send you my OG Xbox, on Ninja Gaiden vanilla there are all 3 NES games unlockable, on the Black version there is the arcade. :)
Wait does it means that you had to do the game 6 times in sl1 in order to reach ng7
7 times. NG+7 is the 8th game cycle
@@PressContinue oh yeah your right, well then the only thing i have to say is ggs lol
Two Caestus make Incaestus
You are actually on NG+6 because you have new game which have you the first soul and then 6 NG+’s
what four kings time limit? I don't know why you had to use the hammer
The highest the difficulty goes is ng+6. NOT ng+7.
Yeah yeah, I know. I even mention this and reference this specific video in my latest livestream at some point
@@PressContinue i never saw the live stream. Sorry about that.
I want to do soul level 1 coop ng±³⁰ with you bro
Are there any 100% shields usable for this run?
The heater shield is a good choice.
Crest Shield is usable as well I believe.
Smoug is week to lightning, why punch it whit fire
Once Smough get's lightning power he also gains lightning defenses
I did not know that
U forgot to do hitless fist only as well
how come the 4 kings needed a different weapon? im noob
4 kings is basically a DPS battle, there is also a time limit on it.
You sound way to dutch 😂😂😂
New game 7+ ain't real its the 7th play through so it don't include the first playthrough cause that's not new game so the max is new game 6+
Yeah yeah I'm aware
how did you get the fire caestus?¿?¿?
Well, just upgrading a caestus down the fire upgrade path
@@PressContinue i can't believe the best dark souls content creator just answered me, you are the best, thx u so much
Kalameet is defiantly better then Dark "Shit"eater Midir though
Why was he cursed throughout the whole run?
are you.....are you ok press?
Well er... you mean right now or back then?
technically it's ng+6
this is a jokeish reference to the second video of feno(?) the foxes max lvl asylum
