Okay I legitimately had just completed this challenge on my own time for shits and giggles not even two days ago because I hadn't seen someone do this, I gotta see how you went about it. The only letter I had an issue for was "Y" because as far as I'm aware, there aren't any. So as a joke, I rushed into Gwyndolin's fight just to get the message "You Died" and move on to Giantdad Zweihander vs Gwyn.
@@MrMetagross Very solid run overall and a great video! I love what you did for Y. When I did it this was the order, also didn't do the Four Kings ring like you do you absolute madman: A: Astora Straight Sword vs Asylum Demon B: Broadsword vs Taurus Demon C: Claymore vs Bell Gargoyles D: Drake Sword vs Capra Demon E: Estoc vs Gaping Dragon F: Falchion vs Quelagg G: Gargoyle Axe vs Ceasless Discharge H: Halberd vs Iron Golem I: Iaito vs Ornstein & Smough J: Jagged Ghost Blade vs Stray Demon K: Knight Shield vs Pinwheel (Surprisingly difficult considering Pinwheel's low HP) L: Lucerne vs Priscilla M: Murakumo (Sorry Shiva) vs Demon Firesage N: Notched Whip vs Sif O: Oolacile Ivory Catylyst vs Centipede Demon (Also tedious bonking him with a stick) P: Priscilla's Dagger vs Sanctuary Guardian R: Ricard's Rapier vs Nito S: Silver Knight Spear vs Artorias T: Titanite Catch Pole vs Four Kings U: Uchigatana vs Manus V: Velka's Rapier vs Moonlight Butterfly W: Washing Pole vs Kalameet X: Xanthous Armor Set vs Bed of Chaos (Bless it for dying to punches) Y: YOU DIED vs Gwyndolin Z: THAT'LL TEACH HIM vs Gwyn I'm currently trying this same thing for DS3 to see how that goes. The problem letter for that game is J instead of Y.
@@TheInfiniteSlash-for ds 3 with J play the fight using voice commands in Japanese. Ill allow you to use any weapon or upgrade provided you record and post it
@@MrMetagross I have just run through DS3 with the same rule set, absolutely recommend trying it for content. Only letters that raise problems are A (Unlike Asylum Demon, there is no glitching past Gundyr because you need the Coiled Sword), J (There are no J weapons, shields or spell. Barring punching someone to death while dressed as a Jailer, this is the biggest conundrum. You can either go punchy punchy as a jailer, or you can cop out and pick up the Follower Javelin, since Follower is the type an enemy and Javelin is the weapon. I javelin'd Oceirus to death for the cop out), and of course X. I just opted to use the Executioner Greatsword as a close second to the letter with the Xanthous set on, fighting Gael with it. Fair warning, you have no choice BUT to use the Notched Whip again for N. That was by far the worst time during this run.
Great vid! Weirdly I thought about this same concept but you executed it way better than I would have done! I've got a wild idea for a future video though: Can you beat..... ....JK Leeds in a Pokemon Battle? ***throws a gauntlet down at your feet***
Well I don't think I'm able to legally turn down challenges given my status on UA-cam. Anyways it's definitely a fun run seeing as there is a lot of variety to take advantage of
Every time I read a title like “can you beat dark souls using so and so…?” And the answer is always yes. If you keep bashing your head against a wall long enough, you will break it.
19:22 For the letter S you would have had access to the Silver Knight weaponary. The spear of which just so happens to deal divine damage, meaning you wouldn't have had to worry about the skeletons at all. The sword doesn't deal the effect though, don't ask me why. Though for that it can be buffed unlike the spear
@@DanteTorn Well first and forement, the covenant of Artorias is called "Art de la marche-abysse", so it's technically invalid, but otherwise I haven't seen much problems yet
Hey man! I just wanted to let you know that I feel your commentary has really improved for this video and I hope you keep it up! It's not that the commentary was terrible before, but the creativity of your runs and quality of your editing has been so high level that the commentary stood a bit out in comparison. But I feel that in this video you close a lot of that gap. Amazing work!
I agree. The commentary in older videos kind of bored me a little bit, but in new videos like this it's really improved. I've finally actually subscribed and turned on notifs for this channel because of it.
Funnily enough Catalysts do decent damage if you use the bonk attack instead of spells, coulda used the Tin Banishment Catalyst for T for example. Refer to Lemon's Catalyst Only Run.
For Y, the undead merchant calls his katana "Yulia", but that's our U weapon. So, do the quest to obtain the Umbra Sword and you're set! And also now playing Morrowind wait what
Man your content is amazing, it's unbelievable how you've been doing videos for just a few months now. So much potential, can definitely see your channel growing a lot. Good luck man!
a quick note also between b and C. with a bit more foresight you could also kill the capra demon second so you could get into the depths without glitching
I did not know if I was tripping when I was hearing that song from Kingdom Hearts 2 Lolol I was like "uplifting goofy song from a wholesome video game in a video of a dark depressing game?"
so i did my version of this run, different path, obviously have to use weapons, spells and armor corresponding to the letter. If there is no armor or weapon just eliminate the boss naked. i kept rings independent of the letter rule. exemp i used knight shield to kill asylum demon, target shield to kill bed of chaos, punched ceaseless in xanthous armor and made taurus demon jump off the cliff. Now challenge, ng or ng+ from z to a. this one is slightly more challenging i believe.
Another blunt, cool, dastardly even foolish gauntlet. He is just kindling Lordran man. Now onto patricide queens, royals, saints the undead vanquisher wooed Xanthics yellow Zebra.
4:48 no, you're right. The chainmail armor does actually look really decent on female characters. I wish there was as decent fashionsouls in Elden Ring as even DS1 for female characters, because almost every piece of armor, even most basic cloth armors, don't have female variants.
well definetly soulsborne challenges are getting crazy, i hope to see how they are going to be like in a year like: can you beat armored core 6 but without any amored core, nakes and with ur bare fist?
Hello everyone,
I hope you enjoy the video, I had to get it done in under two weeks since I'll be on vacation for a bit, have a nice day!
Have a nice vacation
Thanks for the video! Have a good vacation! :D
Enjoy the vacay!
Thanks for doing this so that I'll never even need to think about it.
The taurus demon kill actually counts since what killed him was the Y axis 👍
Just need a west-oriented environment hazard for the X
well now its time to bring it all together and beat the bosses in alphabetical order with the weapons in alphabetical order
The ultimate run
@@MrMetagross script gotta be in alphabetical order too
@@MrMetagrossor on a lesser level, beat each boss with a weapon that starts with the same letter as their name
SL1, no Estus, on a Guitar hero Controller, blindfloded
@@wetwater90+always poisoned
Up and Down is the Y-Axis, so you used the Y-Axis to defeat the Taurus Demon :3 run valid
I like the way you think
@@MrMetagross Taurus Demon get yeeted. There you go.
Doing the four kings as the third boss instead of skipping it like an absolute chad, respects my dude
I have no idea why but for some a reason I do the same on all of my runs
@@alexandermaxcanjuga3368kaathe dialogue is worth it.
I think it’s so poetic that this run literally can’t end with anything other than Zwei
I like how he said he didnt want to use the iron set then is wearing the helmet grinding for the ghost blade lol
No Solaires were harmed in the making of this video...
Hopefully.

I mean you could say the Tarous Demon “Yeeted” himself off the bridge 😂
Using the souls dupe is like using rare candies in a Pokémon nuzlocke. Based and valid.
Great vid! Weirdly I thought about this same concept but you executed it way better than I would have done!
I've got a wild idea for a future video though:
Can you beat.....
....JK Leeds in a Pokemon Battle?
***throws a gauntlet down at your feet***

For ‘T’ you could have alternatively used the thorns set, which inflicts a very small amount of damage when rolling into an enemy.
"Ahem "1:12 "ahem" "ahem"
@@Whyisthisathing825 You don’t enjoy inflicting 16 damage per roll? Casual.
@@user-cv2tr9eb7k I don't think Metagross would enjoy it
@@Whyisthisathing825does it matter on a boss that takes 3 hits regardless?
@@Whyisthisathing825 oh he would probably hate it, but it would fun to watch lol.
You've become one of my favourite dark souls creators, your ideas are very creative lol
I appreciate the kind words
I love how the Dark Souls challenges seem to get more and more outlandish every month.
Not just your channel, but the whole Dark Souls ecosystem.
Every time I read a title like “can you beat dark souls using so and so…?” And the answer is always yes. If you keep bashing your head against a wall long enough, you will break it.
Maybe you should watch the video again if you think that's the answer

You know what? Your video convinced me. As a french watcher, I'll do same but with the french letters, to see if it works. Great video!
I am very curious what's different in French.

Velka's Rapier: this is a weapon in Dark Souls.
Yep.
No joke, I just got a massive rush of excitement when I saw your video in my subscription tab. These challenges are so oddly specific and I love them
You made Taurus Demon YEET himself off the bridge, the Y requirement was legally met
11:33 WHAT HAPPENED TO SOLAIRE MR METAGROSS? WHERE'D YOU GET THAT HELMET??
This is super creative and entertaining challenge! Great video!
Thanks!
Sick challenge man! video was super fun :D
very creative video, i personally enjoy the way you bend the rules in ways that make the run more interesting/cut out tedious bits
The Zwei taking down Gwyn was somehow poetic.
Great video Bossman, keep it up!!!
Taurus Demon "yeeted" himself of the bridge, fixed it :D
Awesome idea, I feel I've opened a can of worms with this alphabetical thing 😅

Even though you said you wouldn't earlier

I have no idea where you get the video ideas but they are really cool.
Mostly a mix of influence from other videos and my own imagination
You deserve alot more views man. Love your "fun first " approach to these challenges.
Thank you
"minimal glitches" led to one of the best runs ive seen yet. well done
Loved your work around! You killed this run. We eating today meatballs!
Yet another amazing video from meta, keep up the good work!
4:55 don't worry, I do too. I like the shape of the hood way more in the female variant, with that golden zigzag at the end
keep going like this! i'm really enjoying your videos
When you said covenant of artorias is a valid equipment I immediately said "oh God". That realization I had was hilarious to me. Great video.
I really enjoyed this one. Thank you for your hard work
Very nice, great routing
Loved your channel.
Central asian linguistics jokes on a dark souls meme run…. I think I love you
Oh okay you are WAY beyond anything I could suggest. Looking forward to the next one lol
really well play, very cool and interesting video!
Congrats on beating the Taurus Demon by making him yeet himself off the bridge.
The Y bit was absolutely valid, since you only used that method of murder once
Plus you had nothing else
The run was dead in the water when you used the soul dupe for levels
I still vividly remember the pain of farming the ghosts for their knives. Great video
Thanks to this video, I could finally learn the alphabet! Thank you, MrMetagross!
I do see myself as an educational channel
You wore no armor for O&S .... Yet during Jagged Ghost Blade farming you wore the iron helmet and pants...
YOU MONSTER
Interesting challenge run, cheers from Germany
For Y, the undead merchant calls his katana "Yulia", but that's our U weapon. So, do the quest to obtain the Umbra Sword and you're set! And also now playing Morrowind wait what
This was awesome, bravo
this is a really fun video, it might have saved you a lot of trouble to use the Silver Knight Spear against Nito, as it has holy damage
Man your content is amazing, it's unbelievable how you've been doing videos for just a few months now. So much potential, can definitely see your channel growing a lot. Good luck man!
Much appreciated!
That was fun to watch, man
Taurus Demon was valid, you killed him with Yeet.
This was a fun challenge to watch.
Love your voice man. So relaxing
Thank you!
you know for the taurus demon you could've just talked about the y-axis since he fell to his death... lol. great video tho!
I dont realy care about alphabetic order or something like that, its just you make me watch until the end
Very entertaining video as per usual
13:20 one of the best always sunny episodes!
just two weeks ago somebody did a dark hand only run :)
(i really love your content btw! very creative and entertaining stuff ^-^)
This sounds like a very funny challenge
Absolutely goated run
you could have used the uchigatana again for y, since the undead merchant calls it Yulia
That title has strong "Did you put the dishes in alphabetical order" energy.
you have no idea how disappointed I was realizing that the knight shield existed, and that you didn't have to beat a boss with karmic justice
You didn't even have to translate falling to another language, he just *yeeted* himself
For S against Nito and the skeletons, a great option is the Silver Knight's Spear! It does divine damage
a quick note also between b and C. with a bit more foresight you could also kill the capra demon second so you could get into the depths without glitching
Let’s go new metagross challenge run dropped

The Taurus Demon kill is legit even in english tho!
He got defeated by "Yeeting"
you could always go for a semi-victory with eXecutioner Smough's hammer

Great content! Keep it up
I think I've said this before but you use Dark Cloud 2 music and it just makes me so happy
AND... and rogue galaxy??
\[T]/ level 5 appreciation
Good ear!
For "Y" the Taurus Demon falling could have also been referred to him Yeeting himself.
Escooze me. But Estus Flask starts with E. So ypu can only use it for one fight.
(Im just being a nerd dont mind me)
You could use the Centipede out of bounds glitch for letter X, but I understand that would probably be too tedious.
Damn, so the only n-word weapon is a whip ? … Nah, I’m sure that’s just a coincidence
Cool idea!
Damn your videos are way better than how they should be ❤
Thanks!
@@MrMetagross
No problem man and keep up the good work 😀
Killing the Taurus with 'Y'... Yeeted... yeeted off the map.
Taurus Demon died by YEETING itself off the bridge
Black knight sword: Wassup babe did you miss meh
For Taurus Demon, you could have just called it
"Your Own Damn Self" and let him jump
The Taurus demon Yeeted himself off the ledge.
"Hey Taurus demon, do you know what I'm gonna use to kill you?"
"What?"
"Yourself :)"
bro the rogue galaxy ost man of fine taste i see
well definetly soulsborne challenges are getting crazy, i hope to see how they are going to be like in a year like: can you beat armored core 6 but without any amored core, nakes and with ur bare fist?
Well, taurus demon has yeeted himself of the wall, so I'd say this counts
For the Taurus Demon, I can accept "yeet".
