Thank you everyone for the support! Just a note that the kalameet death animation isn't unique, just the headshot animation, my mistake. And many of you gave me great feedback which will be reflected next week moreso than this one. Have a good one. Edit: Also it came to my attention someone was using my name to scam people saying they won a ps5. The issue has been resolved for now but please know that all official comments will be made from this account.
Good video! Lemon from The Backlogs did this too, he limited to 100 and I won’t spoil it because it’s a great video. These are fun challenge ideas and the one thing to remember is that a very small minority actually care about the minutiae of the challenge… most people come for the journey, the fun that happens along the way and the creativity involved. So whenever you feel pressured by the challenges, just have fun! We have more fun watching when you’re having fun too.
@jaxthejaximus6296 Dude, tons of people post videos of challenges that they lose, it's really not uncommon. First example that comes to mind is NGplus, like with his Spyro no gliding runs, failed most of them I'm pretty sure (by his own rules), but posted the videos and acknowledges the loss but continues to see how it goes anyway.
there's hundreds of dark souls challenge videos with this video format on the internet, but this channel is exceptionally good. laughed out loud over the Mister Mosquito joke
I can confirm that the Leo Ring works with bows, crossbows and greatbows. However you have to land a "counter" hit, which is gonna be tough to time with a Greatbow.
@@Pessimism6356 Yes, but a Counter-hit is not the same as a parry and Riposte. If you hit an enemy at a certain point during their attack animation you will deal extra damage, it doesn't stun them better or knock them over, but it will deal more damage. If you wear the Leo Ring and do a counter with a thrust weapon that bonus damage is increased (fairly noticeably). You CAN stun them with a crossbow, but it's hard - either by hitting an enemy with low poise, or if you can time it right by getting a headshot (headshots always stun most enemies who can be hit by headshots).
Our commentary/ explanations are so great, it's not filled with unnecessary things to artificially keep viewers interested, but it's not waaaay to focused so it's boring.... And the editing is great you have a amazing career ahead :)
*Having to stand still while you shoot* *Limited ammo/resources* *Having to awkwardly shuffle around enemies to get by* "I can't believe you decided to play Resident Evil in Dark Souls."
Really cool idea with the limited arrows for a full playthrough. I was thinking of doing great bow only for all the games actually because it seems like a fun challenge that doesn't rely on stupidly long boss fights
That was interesting. Just when I thought I knew EVERYTHING in DS1, you showed a unique Headshot Death to Kalameet. I knew about the headshot stagger and damage for Manus and Kalameet, but that death? Damn I respect that whole heartedly. That is a sub from me for sure
love this video. and I'm proud of the improvement over the previous! the jazz music joke actually got me laughing out loud, well done lmao. if I can offer any feedback perhaps higher volume, since your voice is quite low and need to turn up the volume for it. and if I forget to turn it down for another video it may blow out my eardrums lmao. looking forward to what you do next! loving it.
Night Terrors here, another banger of a video my guy, you're on a hot streak, can't wait to see what you got in store next!! Also congrats on 1.54k, 5k is definitely coming soon
Just found your channel today through your other video. I really mean this in the most complimentary way possible, but I find your way of speaking very easy to fall asleep to. Looking forward to what you make in the future! it's very comfy.
Great video! In my Ballista/Jar Cannon only playthrough in ER, I noticed that the counter attack talisman affects the damage greatly, but this is Ds1 so idk.. needs testing but there is a chance.
These videos are really well done! The mister mosquito music on Sif caught me off guard and legitimately made me laugh out loud, keep up the great content!
Why did I get legitimately excited to hear the "short clip accompanied by jazz music from the hit videogame, Mr. Mosquito" I burst out laughing though, so worth it I guess
This was great fun, I also loved the added caveat of ammo count even though I knew it wouldn't be a huge deal, plus the details and the headshot bonus where known are cool too. For another challenge suggestion, what about doing it with maximum soul gain possible, but you may only kill each enemy once? Symbol of Avarice, Covetous Silver Serpent Ring, and you have to Overkill every enemy applicable to it, Overkill being where you gain an additional 20% I think it is if you deliver 1.5 times their maximum up.
I saw your first video with the area weapons only and got this video on my recommended and didn't realize it was you haha. I'm definitly subscribing, really like your videos
Arrows and greatarrows count as thrust damage so the leo ring will work with bows. It's just really hard to get the timing right for the counter damage.
These videos are awesome man, its a perfect balance of witty stuff and actual gameplay explanation. Cant wait till you have 100k subs and I can be brag about being an early viewer😂
One of the biggest issues with getting into the DS challenge run youtube scene, is that practically every challenge run has been done to death, yet you somehow manage to make unique challenges that I've honestly never quite seen before.
This vídeo somehow reminds me an old challenge run I made. Demons Souls Crossbow only. A future ideia maybe. Your videos are great. Keep up the good work.
Alright you definitely earned the sub. Excellent editing, audio and explanations throughout. I will say I worry however about you pigeon holing yourself as a dark souls or challenge run channel. If thats what your interested in, then by all means keep going as once again this is very well made and enjoyable content, it just seems that the youtube algorithm is not at all kind to people trying to break out of their established domain.
Me: "One can only teleport after obtaining the Lordvessel. Even then, many bonfires are inaccessible." Mr Metagross: "Hold my ale and shield thine eyes, mortal. I go to kite upon celestial winds. The dewdrops of tomorrow be my shoes and steeds. If thou needst me, look to the stars and pray."
I really like your commentary it's both relaxing and entertaining, I can see myself binge watching your videos from time to time in the future, Excited for what your next video is gonna be!
Yesterday's stream was so good I decided to check out the vids and they're just as good! So excited to see what comes next from this channel, subbed too of course.
7:04 the Leo ring does help, as with all thrust damage other than a few weapons with thrusting attacks that don't have thrust listed as a damage type. Bows deal thrust damage.
On a similar theme, maybe a "Bonewheel shield only" run would be fun to try. No skips apart from Asylum Demon so long as you Humanity up for the boys in the Catacombs. I can't get past O&S honestly, you'd think that a fire shield would do more damage but the weird lightning scaling on bonewheel shields is... weird. Good video btw. I never usually have much to say on the actual video subject, sorry.
Can you beat dark souls 2 as a caveman using only clubs. You don’t have to kill any bosses to get your first club you can buy it from the merchant before the first boss then you can get the great club with a S scaling in strength later on
Thank you everyone for the support!

can you make a video where you explain how to play the wizard well
@@uavdimsturb0489 Can you be more specific on what that means exactly?
@@MrMetagross
Step 1: Be Wizard
Step 2: Play well
That's how I would do it.
Well, without step number 2 at least lmao
Good video! Lemon from The Backlogs did this too, he limited to 100 and I won’t spoil it because it’s a great video.

"I can't believe you decided to play Resident Evil in Dark Souls."
Quality content and much respect for completing this run.
I liked that your character had it's own lore.
very much appreciate the spelunky ost
Really cool idea with the limited arrows for a full playthrough. I was thinking of doing great bow only for all the games actually because it seems like a fun challenge that doesn't rely on stupidly long boss fights
I just found your channel and you're already one of my favorites. Great commentary and gameplay, and an actually unique challenge. Love the content!
I am loving these challenge videos. I can not get enough of these, so thank you
That was interesting. Just when I thought I knew EVERYTHING in DS1, you showed a unique Headshot Death to Kalameet. I knew about the headshot stagger and damage for Manus and Kalameet, but that death? Damn I respect that whole heartedly. That is a sub from me for sure
AND sending this video to my friend whom we chain ran 7 games of DS1 together. So yeah, thank you much for this

looking forward to what you do next! loving it.
Never thought bows would be so useful
I can’t believe you are a new channel! This is incredible work for someone so new. Keep it up man.
I love your videos, glad I got recommended. It is also great still seeing love for a game made in 2011.
New favourite channel as of late, keep it up!
I wondered for a second why he didn't jump before drawing his bow
Using the Dark Cave theme for the The Duke's Archives / Crystal Cave is such a good pick.
Night Terrors here, another banger of a video my guy, you're on a hot streak, can't wait to see what you got in store next!! Also congrats on 1.54k, 5k is definitely coming soon
Oh man it's night terrors
Just found your channel today through your other video. I really mean this in the most complimentary way possible, but I find your way of speaking very easy to fall asleep to. Looking forward to what you make in the future! it's very comfy.
Great video! In my Ballista/Jar Cannon only playthrough in ER, I noticed that the counter attack talisman affects the damage greatly, but this is Ds1 so idk.. needs testing but there is a chance.
I’ve always loved great bows. Glad to see them get some love in this run.
Youre already doing this, but I just wanted to say I LOVE that you're making a playlist. Makes sleeping to your videos very easy and convenient:)
Another great video keep up the great work I'm excited to see what you do next
yeah gotta love these crazy ways to beat the game, btw you already improved a lot in comparison to your first vid, congratulations! :)
It is nuts how many people use silent hill soundtracks on their videos! I personally love it! The day of night is one of the best tracks.
crazy creative challenge. keep up the amazing work
Beautiful use of glitches to start the run, approved!
These videos are really well done! The mister mosquito music on Sif caught me off guard and legitimately made me laugh out loud, keep up the great content!
Bro got on youtube and decided to drop the two craziest videos on Dark Souls back to back.
This channel is exactly what I was craving, these videos are awesome!
The "short jazz clip" really did it for me lmao
Backlogs did this with 100 arrows and somehow this video is still interesting. good job idk how you did it but you made me want to watch this anyways
Seems like I hit "bullseye" when I found this channel
11:07 that 99 res actually came in handy I’ll be damned
your deadpan cod joke was amazing
I'm glad youtube auto played your stuff! You're entertaining to watch.
haven't watched it yet but i know it's gonna be good can't eait to see how this goes and good luck in future runs btw love the vids :)
Keep making more videos,i love them!
You should do challenges in other soulsekirobornering games too 👍
Glad to see another outstanding up and comer in the souls community. Great work man.
The commitment here is unreal. Well done.
Why did I get legitimately excited to hear the "short clip accompanied by jazz music from the hit videogame, Mr. Mosquito"
I burst out laughing though, so worth it I guess

Nice vid, shoutout to the champions of norrath track you used. I never hear anyone use or talk about anything from those games. Hella based
I love the Malcom in the middle reference on ceaseless 😂
I saw your first video with the area weapons only and got this video on my recommended and didn't realize it was you haha. I'm definitly subscribing, really like your videos
Arrows and greatarrows count as thrust damage so the leo ring will work with bows. It's just really hard to get the timing right for the counter damage.
"I need to make every shot count"
Proceeds to hunt easily off-track enemies
I played a lot of the late game like this lmao, great bows are just so satisfying to use!
loving these videos man, thanks for the info and entertainment
These videos are awesome man, its a perfect balance of witty stuff and actual gameplay explanation. Cant wait till you have 100k subs and I can be brag about being an early viewer😂
Nice video, we need more souls content keep it up
I love this Channel so much, please don’t stop making these videos
Ayy hell yeah I was hoping you'd upload more after that Area restriction challenge
This was a really good vid hard to believe that this is one of your first vids
One of the biggest issues with getting into the DS challenge run youtube scene, is that practically every challenge run has been done to death, yet you somehow manage to make unique challenges that I've honestly never quite seen before.
This is incredible! I’m going to love watching your channel evolve!
your videos and thumbnails have evolved bro, killing the game !
This vídeo somehow reminds me an old challenge run I made. Demons Souls Crossbow only. A future ideia maybe.
Your videos are great. Keep up the good work.
Alright you definitely earned the sub. Excellent editing, audio and explanations throughout. I will say I worry however about you pigeon holing yourself as a dark souls or challenge run channel.

Im ok with that tbh. Maybe at some point if I have enough success i could stream which would be nice.
@@MrMetagross "Enough" is relative, I think even now people would enjoy watching your runs live or the editing process.
Great idea for a challenge run.
Me: "One can only teleport after obtaining the Lordvessel. Even then, many bonfires are inaccessible."
Mr Metagross: "Hold my ale and shield thine eyes, mortal. I go to kite upon celestial winds. The dewdrops of tomorrow be my shoes and steeds. If thou needst me, look to the stars and pray."
Nice second video love to see more interesting challenges in the future!
I never knew you could stop the bomb throwing giant in Sen's by just breaking the bombs. Been killing him for no reason this whole time...
Leapfrog Dark Souls when?
the happy souls quote is super funny man.
So glad to see a new video from you. I just found you last night and subbed. Keep it up can't wait to see what comes in the future!
I really like your commentary it's both relaxing and entertaining, I can see myself binge watching your videos from time to time in the future, Excited for what your next video is gonna be!
I like these challenge videos you are doing a lot and I think you deserve a lot more subs
love your content mate! keep it up :)
I liked the intro background, donkey kong city 2 snes ost. :)
Nice video man, you have potential. Keep up the good work!
Yesterday's stream was so good I decided to check out the vids and they're just as good! So excited to see what comes next from this channel, subbed too of course.
Hey man, I really like the videos! Especially coming from a small channel, the quality is amazing. Keep it up!
7:04 the Leo ring does help, as with all thrust damage other than a few weapons with thrusting attacks that don't have thrust listed as a damage type.
Bows deal thrust damage.
I never comment but your channel deserves the support. Great video, keep it up
2:50 So that's ho Black Iron Tarkus got into Anor Londo.
I apricate how unique these challenges are.
On a similar theme, maybe a "Bonewheel shield only" run would be fun to try. No skips apart from Asylum Demon so long as you Humanity up for the boys in the Catacombs. I can't get past O&S honestly, you'd think that a fire shield would do more damage but the weird lightning scaling on bonewheel shields is... weird.
Good video btw. I never usually have much to say on the actual video subject, sorry.
Been like these challenge videos good voice quality and the use and well weapons I never use really cool
THE BACKLOGS JUST UPLOADED A VIDEO OF YOUR CHALLENGE LETS GO!!
"i finally go for the only valuable asset of this boss"
>aims at feet
i love this channel's sense of humour
Ooh, this is really interesting to watch.
Great work on this one! I can't wait to see more content from you ^.^
Please make more videos this is excellent
Bro please remember me when your famous. Your content is way to good I’ve loved both of your videos so far
You could say this video was a shot in the dark ba dum das 🥁
Hey nice video tried to do this same challenge but just got bored with it can't wait to see the next one. : )
Sick video, I love greatbows in From games.
Last video was good, this one was great. Good job.
Can you beat dark souls 2 as a caveman using only clubs. You don’t have to kill any bosses to get your first club you can buy it from the merchant before the first boss then you can get the great club with a S scaling in strength later on
Great vid as always man
I LOVE DARKSOULS CHALLENGE RUNS!!!!
Awesome vid man, great run. Just started a run like you did in your last vid. Keep up the great work. Peace from Germany
If you wanna try a challenge try beating the game with overload
Already can tell this about to be video of the year🎉🎉🎉
Excited for the next video
Lemon did it with only 100 great arrows. But i still enjoyed your run.
Loved the video yet again
