    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

      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

      @@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.

Now challenge, ng or ng+ from z to a. this one is slightly more challenging i believe.
