Well, whichever area you'll find yourself in, one thing you'll always have is a heart of gold. Don't let them take it from you... 32:16 that's anything but "some random guy". That is the spirit version of the real Penetrator. Those red phantoms aren't random npcs. Those are what remain of the real heroes of Boletaria: Metas, knight of the lance; Alfred, Knight of the Tower and Long Bow Oolan, leader of the phalanx. The demonic bosses you fight are replacements instead of corruptions of the actual people. Just like False King Allant is a demonic doppelganger of the real King Allant. By the way, the real tower knight wields the scraping spear even though that's made from the boss soul of the Phalanx. That's some residue from early in development where the tower knight and the phalanx were switched around. There's a cut cutscene of the tower knight in the Phalanx' location.
That's really interesting lore, I had no idea! I'm not familiar with the lore in this game, but it makes more sense than just being a random guy with the sword. With the boss switching, I believe there was something like that in DS3 as well with Sulyvahn and Aldrich right? Funny how it comes full circle!
You're a GOAT for playing the OG Demon's Souls for this one, Respect 👌🏽 Just a quick constructive criticism, raise the games sounds juuust a little bit, at least when U stop talking.
I think somebody needs to make a playlist with all our challenges together, the Area Items only saga, told across like 4 different channels! 😂 Anyway wonderful video once again, EL! One tip: get yourself a business email and put it in your channel description, ya never know when someone might be interested about contacting you with an opportunity 😉
You've created a monster! With the business email, right now I've just got my old professional gmail on it, but it has my cat's name on it...so that might be confusing
You're too kind! You handled this really well and honestly I think you made it more entertaining given your more creative ruleset and weapon choices, taking on the Tower Knight with a shield is hilarious and I am glad to see that we shared some similar issues ~cough~ Flamelurker ~cough~ and almost dying to Allant...Good thing it was just almost! Excellent video! Looking forward to what else you'll be putting out in 2024! 🫡
Thanks! Your video was very enjoyable as well, I think your strict ruleset was interesting. Flamelurker is a steaming pile of poo he deserves what we did to him
Oh hell yeah, they're back and better than ever. OG Demon's Souls doesn't get enough attention, and I love you for doing a run like this in it 😭 Best of luck to you in the year ahead, and I hope you keep these vids coming. Looking forward to the next one 🤧
So happy I came across your channel this year, and I'm looking forward to even more fun Soulsborne challenges next year. Keep up the good work, and I hope your channel does even better in 2024.
I usually put your videos in the background when I play monster hunter and I always enjoy when you use Demon's souls music as the background sound, I love this game and it's atmosphere!!! Very excited to watch this ^_^
A rando has the penetrator sword because he is the Penetrator. The three phantoms there are the original human forms of the three champions of Boletaria. The Tower Knight, The Penetrator, and the archer is the Phalanx. Their boss forma are them after they've been turned into Demons, hence their giant forms and inhumanity. This is more or less confirmed in the remake when the Phalanx leaves a soul silhouette of the archer woman when it dies. So the game was playing with the phantoms being much lamer looking, while the Demon forms are how the kingdom viewed them as heroes, grandiose and larger than life.
Yeah a few others have corrected me! I'm not familiar with the lore in this game but I think it's a cool concept that the true forms are so mundane that someone not well-versed would mistake them for a rando! I should check those item descriptions next time so I don't make a fool of myself lmao
@@eleumloycee I mean, I didn't think you looked the fool lol, more just that this is one of the few bits of lore from that game I know and thought it was compelling.
I click on and get extremely giddy with excitement to see a modern soulstuber on the true version of gods gift to gaming. You have earned my subscription 1 second into your video :D
I was going to make a long and verbose comment but I've accidentally deleted it twice now (dumb laptop trackpad) so I'll keep it on the shorter side. I love your videos, I love how you mention the other content creators, and I'm really happy I get to watch you grow as a UA-camr! I'd like to request a "cosplay run", where you go through a game of your choice, using the gear of a different NPC for each boss. Maybe do it for Dark Souls 2?
Love Demon Souls. I remember playing this in college when it first came out and thinking it was insanely hard. Little did I know that it's probably the easiest of the Soulsborne games.
This looks like a fun challenge run! Didn't realize there were actually differences between the loot male and female characters get in this game that's kind of a wild mechanic.
Favorite line was “as the kids say, I let this dragon cook for a bit” also what is your favorite insect/insectish boss, mines quelaag just because it’s a pretty easy boss lol
I like Quelaag as well, Rom is very cool lore-wise, but the fight isn't too enjoyable. If I were to choose based on gameplay, I think I would say Quelaag as well!
That "random guy", who drops the Penetrating Sword is the Penetrator himself. Souls of 3 bosses from the level are there - Phalanx, the archer, Tower Knight and Penetrator. According to lore, they were the best of Allants knights. GG on the run, I don't have that much patience :)
Nice vid, glad to see you back, in og demon souls, no less. A little fun fact, at 32:20, the reason that npc has the penetrating sword is probably because he's supposed to be the penetrator before being turned into a demon, with the other two npcs being the tower knight and the phalanx.
I'm genuinely so glad I found this channel, since the beginning every video has had me enthralled from the start, your narration is really entertaining.
I never really enjoyed Demon's Souls like I did DkS1/2 and BB, but man I always loved the look and atmosphere of 2009 DeS. As beautiful as the remake is, it really doesn't quite capture the mood of the original. Glad to see this game being run!
I can't let myself watch as it's the only SoulsBourne game I haven't played yet and I like to go in blind, however I still wanted to like and comment on what I know is topclass content, keep up the good fight homeslice
what I coincidence as I just finally started the OG DeS on PC as I dont have a PS3/4/5, now just waiting for bloodborne on PC lool. great video, hope you keep uploading! :D
Fun Fact, you get the penetrator sword from that guy because all of those people are the human forms of the 3 boletaria bosses. The woman with the bow is Phalanx, the guy with the tower shield is the tower knight, and the guy with the sword is the Penetrator
I'm in awe, ds has so little stuff given to you in the beginning compared to later games, trying to beat first levels of archstones kicks my ass right now 😅
I've been playing the new version of this game, I have to say that I prefer the old one in a lot of ways. Thanks for the video, have a fantastic year. Nicelicious!
Peak video with a very entertaining challenge on the OG Demon's souls.I Found your channel yesterday, watched some videos and they were AMAZING. Keep Up The Good Work 👾💯🔝 (Sorry for bad english 🗿)
Fun fact: Those random NPC's at the end are the Phalanx, Tower Knight and Penetrator in their non demon forms! That's why you get the Penetrator Sword from that dude because, well, it's the actual dude.
Eleum Loyce proving that the gamer genes run deep once again, incredibly based. See you next year! P.S. Would be totally rad to have a community Discord server at some point next year
have to tell ya the „random“ who drops the penetrator sword is the penetrator before he became a demon the other two are phalanx and the tower knight in human form
I am realy happy to have found your channel, your content is realy good and you give an entire new vibe to souls games challenge run that i find incredible. Sorry for my bad english it's not my first language.
Demons Souls is one of my favorite games, both the original and the remaster just love the story, and game play to it. I even like all those mechanics people hate such as gender-locked armor. With all that in mind it is best look at as a playable Beta build of Dark Souls.
Well, whichever area you'll find yourself in, one thing you'll always have is a heart of gold. Don't let them take it from you...
32:16 that's anything but "some random guy". That is the spirit version of the real Penetrator. Those red phantoms aren't random npcs. Those are what remain of the real heroes of Boletaria: Metas, knight of the lance; Alfred, Knight of the Tower and Long Bow Oolan, leader of the phalanx. The demonic bosses you fight are replacements instead of corruptions of the actual people. Just like False King Allant is a demonic doppelganger of the real King Allant.

I never knew this part of the lore, that's so cool
Oh the legend is here!
You're a GOAT for playing the OG Demon's Souls for this one, Respect 👌🏽
Just a quick constructive criticism, raise the games sounds juuust a little bit, at least when U stop talking.
Yeah, I think I still need to work on my audio mixing skills lmao. I'll try to balance it better!
"I highly reccomend watching that video alongside this one," Alright, I'll watch both at the same time
That was really trippy, idk why i did that
Eleum: "I accept my fiery death so I can have a weapon"
Klye: "Because I am a donkey"
Lol, perhaps I should've used a different choice of words
I think somebody needs to make a playlist with all our challenges together, the Area Items only saga, told across like 4 different channels! 😂
Anyway wonderful video once again, EL! One tip: get yourself a business email and put it in your channel description, ya never know when someone might be interested about contacting you with an opportunity 😉
You've created a monster!
With the business email, right now I've just got my old professional gmail on it, but it has my cat's name on it...so that might be confusing
I give this a "I let this dragon cook for a bit" out of 10.
Pro tip: The Tower Knight also takes extra damage on the chest, its a nice alternative if his head clips on the walls
I'm saying pro tip like i was the One with the UA-cam Chanel about Challenge runs
You're too kind! You handled this really well and honestly I think you made it more entertaining given your more creative ruleset and weapon choices, taking on the Tower Knight with a shield is hilarious and I am glad to see that we shared some similar issues ~cough~ Flamelurker ~cough~ and almost dying to Allant...Good thing it was just almost!

Respect for playing the real Demon's souls.
31:32 “or should I say… a laugh track” *several seconds of pure silence*
Is way funnier than it should be
Oh hell yeah, they're back and better than ever. OG Demon's Souls doesn't get enough attention, and I love you for doing a run like this in it 😭
Best of luck to you in the year ahead, and I hope you keep these vids coming. Looking forward to the next one 🤧
So happy I came across your channel this year, and I'm looking forward to even more fun Soulsborne challenges next year. Keep up the good work, and I hope your channel does even better in 2024.
We really appreciate your content, I hope very soon the "Thanks" button will be activated. 🤞
Thank you, that is very kind of you. I think it is something that can be toggled on so I'll check
I love og Demon’s Souls, thank you for this upload!
Finally someone plays the real Demon’s Souls!!!
after learning that eleum has a cat, my brain is forcing me to devote hours to binging her content
Thanks, in some videos you may just hear her make a cameo...
@@eleumloycee that's adorable
"Meow"
I usually put your videos in the background when I play monster hunter and I always enjoy when you use Demon's souls music as the background sound, I love this game and it's atmosphere!!! Very excited to watch this ^_^
I agree, DeS and DS1 have a unique atmosphere!
Your channel is so underrated

I can't express how glad I am that the UA-cam algorithm brought me to your first video because I genuinely get excited to watch these
Yooo, og Demon's? So nice to see, everyone just posts the remake
Good to see Souls games still have plenty of legs when it comes to challenge runs.
I click on and get extremely giddy with excitement to see a modern soulstuber on the true version of gods gift to gaming. You have earned my subscription 1 second into your video :D
also holy cow this game runs so well on rpcs3, imagine they made a new snappy title at high framerates

Thank you! Cosplay runs are something I would like to do sometime, so I can see myself doing one of those in the near future!
@@eleumloycee Oh that's really cool! And thanks for the reply!

Thank you, it was really fun! And I can see why they removed that mechanic lol
That War Scythe moveset looks pretty fun.
I appreciate the character creation being more than a meme
Favorite line was “as the kids say, I let this dragon cook for a bit” also what is your favorite insect/insectish boss, mines quelaag just because it’s a pretty easy boss lol
I like Quelaag as well, Rom is very cool lore-wise, but the fight isn't too enjoyable. If I were to choose based on gameplay, I think I would say Quelaag as well!
I’ve got so many demon souls videos to come back and watch whenever I eventually play and beat demon souls
it's nice to see a demon's souls challenge being played on the original version.
-whispers- because they can dupe... 😏
That "random guy", who drops the Penetrating Sword is the Penetrator himself. Souls of 3 bosses from the level are there - Phalanx, the archer, Tower Knight and Penetrator. According to lore, they were the best of Allants knights.

Fun video and I'm glad to see you playing the OG Demon's Souls! The remake is just missing so much, well, soul!
All of the videos you have uploaded so far have been choice. Great work.
And you stuck to your word, original Demon's Souls is the best!
I like these fun gimmicky runs. Also I was happy u did the OG DeS and not the remake.
I'm glad I came across this channel when I did, to see the growth and new vids makes my day
Also, happy new year! To both her and everyone else!
I can't let myself watch as it's the only SoulsBourne game I haven't played yet and I like to go in blind, however I still wanted to like and comment on what I know is topclass content, keep up the good fight homeslice
Demon's Souls content?? Hell ya
OG Demon's Souls is the best Souls and I cannot be convinced otherwise. So glad you did this in the OG. GGs!
Oh heck yeah. Looking forward to watching this with breakfast in the morning!
what I coincidence as I just finally started the OG DeS on PC as I dont have a PS3/4/5, now just waiting for bloodborne on PC lool.
great video, hope you keep uploading! :D
The last video of the year, good as always, i hope you had a good christmas and now a happy new year, with lots of videos to come.
Another great video. I can't wait for the next one!
Death by shield tower knight ain’t gonna hear the end of that
Fun Fact, you get the penetrator sword from that guy because all of those people are the human forms of the 3 boletaria bosses. The woman with the bow is Phalanx, the guy with the tower shield is the tower knight, and the guy with the sword is the Penetrator
i was just coming back to demons souls! perfect timing!
OG DeS BLESSED
Glad i found your channel it's been great watching all the videos
Edit: you are also amazing for always giving credit
Yippie , a new video just in time ....keep it up !!!
I'm in awe, ds has so little stuff given to you in the beginning compared to later games, trying to beat first levels of archstones kicks my ass right now 😅
I've been playing the new version of this game, I have to say that I prefer the old one in a lot of ways. Thanks for the video, have a fantastic year. Nicelicious!
Peak video with a very entertaining challenge on the OG Demon's souls.I Found your channel yesterday, watched some videos and they were AMAZING.
Keep Up The Good Work 👾💯🔝
(Sorry for bad english 🗿)
Just met your channel and I need to say that I liked your voice, and your commentary
Thank you, I'm glad to have given you a good first impression here :D
Yes! I’ve never seen much of demon’s souls myself so this is a fun entry for me. Keep up the good work :D
Great stuff, will infact give it a go.
Fun fact: Those random NPC's at the end are the Phalanx, Tower Knight and Penetrator in their non demon forms! That's why you get the Penetrator Sword from that dude because, well, it's the actual dude.
I wish it wasnt 2am here so I could just watch this right away.
Eleum Loyce proving that the gamer genes run deep once again, incredibly based. See you next year!
P.S. Would be totally rad to have a community Discord server at some point next year
Yay another eleum loyce video! Seeing your videos pop up is always amazing
Almost missed it because of demon souls in the title. Still golden content! Keep it up!
All your videos are super inspired, super unique challenges and done in a super cool way! keep it up, love the content!
Thank you!
Your content is very relaxing and i love the action rpg focus. Keep doing what you’re doing!
A nice my night is saved
have to tell ya
the „random“ who drops the penetrator sword is the penetrator before he became a demon
the other two are phalanx and the tower knight in human form
Yeah, not a fan how Ostrava gets behind me despite me trying to rescue him.
I am realy happy to have found your channel, your content is realy good and you give an entire new vibe to souls games challenge run that i find incredible.
Sorry for my bad english it's not my first language.
Sticky White Stuff will never not sound like you're busting a nut on your weapon.
Also OG Demon's Souls aged really well.
It makes me uncomfortable that Patches sells unlimited sticky white stuff
@@eleumloyceeit would be less uncomfortable if it was good ol Patches the spider from bloodborne
Another great video. Hope you had a good Christmas and wish you a happy new year too
QUEEN IS BACK AGAIN LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yo a new vid! I love this channel! Its so chill! Super excited for this one!😊
Always nice to see the og version getting some love. Also you have a cute voice 🐻
Thanks lol
There's no better way to spend my friday night. LET'S GOOOO
i just got the game the other day... ill have to wait with this video til im done with the game
update: beat the game yesterday. i loved it 😊
Quality vid. Beats the usual splerg uploads.
i like how you pay respect and link the previous video
i like these videos even if they are on the original defo subbin
My new favorite UA-cam channel
I think these videos might be a personal favorite of mine, partially due to the fact that my voice sounds virtually identical to the creator's lmao
Hell yeah Demon's Souls.
Demons Souls is one of my favorite games, both the original and the remaster just love the story, and game play to it. I even like all those mechanics people hate such as gender-locked armor. With all that in mind it is best look at as a playable Beta build of Dark Souls.
Thank you so much for using the original demon's souls for this ❤
Welp, gotta start this year somehow
These are my favourite, hope you do more
Hey, look, is Misty!
They spittin 😱
Hey do you stream your videos would be happy to watch them
I don't, I've thought about streaming sometimes but haven't had a good time to arrange it
holy shit EL, you've got some big names in these comments
Hell yeah, new Loyce vid!
Finaly another video 🎉
Bungus
Best wishes
Super great video! I prefer the original over the remake. The game run at a very good frame rate, do you play in an original PS3 or this is emulated?
This is played on an emulator!
Was the moonlight great sword ever used to kill a boss in the poison area
I didn't end up using it this time
Do you stream?
I don't at the moment
You are based for playing the original game
How do you make such a pretty character 😭😭😭
Lots of trial and error!
Nice vid
😍😍😍 Demons souls!!! Do you have a ps5?
I don't unfortunately
@@eleumloyceeI figured given you played the original. Elden ring next???
