I suppose it’s only appropriate that this run had such a Rocky start, followed by the main principle that it’s not about how hard you hit (or whether your hits connect at all) but about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward… All bossfights: ua-cam.com/video/HFgpJU5swtE/v-deo.html Discord: discord.com/invite/9wmc2AV6fJ
I fear not the man who's practiced a thousand punches one time, I fear the man who's practiced one punch a thous- actually no, I'm still not that scared to be honest.
2:14 impressive. As soon as I read the title I thought "how long will it take him to make a "upper hand" pun?". It took you longer than I imagined. That's top notch writing right there. EDIT: powerwolf intro. Second surprise within 3 minutes. Maaaaaan I like this channel!
Recently found your channel and this is exactly the content I crave: long, arduous, stupid souls challenges and silly puns. I have a recommendation for you if you care: train build. Put a weight on your keyboard or a rubber band on your controller such that you’re always walking forward. No touching the movement controls; use the camera to turn. I was able to do it in demons souls and ds1+2, but never 3. It was funny. Good luck going down any tall ladders.
If press continue ever quits UA-cam me and my dog will immediately lose the ability to sleep. Like, whenever my dog hears his voice he immediately conks out. I’ve rewatched some videos tens of times over because it’s the perfect sound of suffering to fall asleep to. Makes me think if press can suffer like that and still remain sane I can too.
Woo! Always happy to see another Press Continue :D. I can't stand Demon Souls personally (even the remaster didn't save it for me) but I'm down for watching you punch your way through it.
As a bordering neighbor I can say: I sorta understood the dutch wordplay. Both of them. It does help that I worked near Utrecht for a short while, I guess. Anyway, nice vid. GG
Man that attack...can I even call it an attack? it makes me think of when you're fighting in a dream and basically useless haha, also the little officer youtube bits made me laugh
(off topic i know) I remembered recently that DS2 has a built in challenge run. The Illusory ring challenges. 1 - complete a run without dying 2 - complete a run without resting at a bonfire (can still light them for checkpoints if necessary) Stacking these together could make for a hard challenge with stakes that only get heavier the deeper you get into it. Bonus: doing it in NG+ with the extra phantom enemies. I don't have the skill or commitment for this but could be an interesting idea for another DS2 run if you're looking for more ideas?
Actually I think that's a little overdone I would say. Not recently I guess, but it certainly was back in the day. In fact I have done that myself before I even started my channel. Also doing it on NG+ is arguably somewhat easier because of repair powders since weapon durability and weapon upgrading is kind of an issue without fast traveling
@@PressContinueperhaps it could be combined with some other challenge to spice things up? That said, I'm not super fond of challenges that involve "and then restart from scratch", I find they tend to encourage really cautious and stressful play rather than interesting problem solving and experimentation. Is there something interesting you could do with a "genocide run" of DS2 where you aim to deplete the world of everything by killing them enough times? Perhaps by combining it with another less difficult challenge, like "pacifism" (at least outside of boss arenas)? Killing everything and everyone, but without directly attacking them if at all possible, might be interesting 🤔
16:14 My English isn't the best, so there are times where I am unable to catch one or two of your jokes, but sheesh, you me chuckle from time to time. 😆 Thank you!! 🙏
for any non dutch speakers he made a joke so smart and funny i am still laughing right now. I can't even explain it you need to know the language to understand the intricacies of the joke.
I think the problem with Allant was his torso hitbox didn't go low enough for the uppercut, but his legs did. So your attacks were only connecting when you were off to his sides.
At least you're not playing OG Demon's Souls. The Remake changed the lizard spawns to how many times you've killed them instead of how many times you've seen them. I was unpleasantly surprised when I played the original game a few months ago.
Huh? No if they disappear enough times they stop spawning. Otherwise the lizard pit in 2-2 would still full until you've killed them all multiple times.
I just looked it up. They'll keep respawning indefinitely as long as you don't damage them. Once you hit them, their spawn counter goes down by one whether you kill it or not. That was a huge QoL change from OG, besides making them easier to hit and decreasing the aggro range.
@@MrMoridinalthor Oh that makes that cave place with all the wiggly blighters much beter. Focus on one, get it, don't hit what you can't finish, and keep coming back! I'm due anohter Demon's Souls run, and I will for sure bear this in mind.
Still doesn't sound right. That would have required me to at least hit every single lizard in the lizard pit at least once in order for them to stop spawning. I can't imagine that that's true. Perhaps if multiple are on screen, hitting one will count for the others as well?
@PressContinue Maybe it's some combination of factors. All I know is that I ran past the one at the beginning of 2-2 dozens of times farming Spiderstone chunks and going down to Flamelurker.
@@PressContinue Yeah, used to run a poisoned claw offhand with a baby's nail main hand to proc all 3 statuses during invasions. Followed it up with familiar's prank for the laugh sound effect.
Freddy Krueger: I created nightmares but this uppercut video with those claws. . . . is just beyond torture. . . even for me! Yeah i deserve a suckerpunch if you dont get it. Otherwise, what an epic video!
35:00 in the original its possible to get flamelurker caught on the lose brick on the stairs level gemoetry . get unstuck if you poise break him but its much faster than the hide every time stratagy (if you can actually get him stuck anyway... its not easy)
they layout of the Flamelurkers boss arena is one of the few things Bluepoint actually changed which affects gameplay. The most common way to cheese him in the original was behind the bone structure near the fog wall. Another was to sneak up behind him with the thief's ring and use poison mist. The latter can still be done bu not without argoeing him first. The cheese near the fogwall is completely removed though.
Did you know there’s an achievement for defeating the Dragon God using the Hand of God? I also would have gone with sharp infusion on the claws for the S Dex scaling and the fact that sharp weapons can still be buffed. And if you don’t find farming for hours, Tearing +5 has some absurd scaling (more than double AR at 25 dex) even if tearing couldn’t be buffed.
LOL, although the remake "fixed" pure bladestone to some extent.... no... that was not even something to consider. Also I'm 99% sure that despite S scaling looking impressive, quality is the same thing but divided over 2 stats. That's why on high levels of dex and strength quality outscales sharp or crushing. And tearing lowers the base damage by a lot and removes buffing so that would have been a terrible option despite that S scaling.
@@PressContinueI got it working I apologize I was gonna remove the comment, so the audio for some reason just wasn't working and I was like ummmmm, and then restarted my UA-cam and it worked, also been here for a little while keep up the hard work man love the content you inspire me to do more crazy challenges
@@PressContinue i absolutely see why you didn't do it, making a whole new cast for the band animation for a game you rarely make content on doesn't make a lot of sense after all. (Btw pls make something crabs treasure related, the game is so fun)
Yo Press challenge run idea (don’t believe you’ve done it before) if Darksouls 1 you can get infected by the bugs after quaelag and after spending souls or smth the parasite on ur head grows. This replaces the kick with a headbutt style attack from the parasite that actually deals damage. Could be interesting?
Well the main reason I never done that, or orange charred ring kick or anything related to jump attacks... is because way too often those attacks don't come out. So having to do a ton of those attacks repeatedly is just not feasible. Basically you would need some sort of control modification to allow you to do it with a single button press so that it works every single time
Is it possible to beat Elden Ring using only reusable consumables? Things like the omen bairns, and infant ancestor spirit head, with recraftable pots used until you can get the items?
Can you do level 1 guide of life of p, allowing everything else to be upgraded because there isn't much guides available and I would like to try it out with some tips
No, because 1. I don't make actual guides anymore to begin with 2. No time for it. It's only 4 weeks until the ER DLC 3. LIes of P only had a month or 2 in the spotlight before it already fell off unfortunately, so I'll be returning to it once the DLC comes out

Oh hey I didn't know they let Miyazaki make the new punch-out! game.
Would have been worse if you didnt allow yourself a shield, well done
As a British man might tell you, Boldwin is bald, but Ed has a shaved 'ead.
Powerwolf intro brings back some OG Ymfah memories.. 😢
that was some nostalgia right there
Body blow. Body blow. Uppercut. He's down for the count. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Knockout! Great fighting, you're an up and coming boxer.
2:17 *Has flashbacks to Ymfah.
I haven't heard that song in a long time.
Amazing edit on the penetrator fight, had me cracking up with all the whiffs at the end 😂
He REALLY was hanging on to that last bit of HP
@@PressContinueIt was pure cinema. Edge of my seat by the third counter hit on the whiffs to be honest.
I fear not the man who's practiced a thousand punches one time, I fear the man who's practiced one punch a thous- actually no, I'm still not that scared to be honest.
Gotta love that Powerwolf in the Opening
I can’t watch this as I’ve not played Demon Souls yet but I’m commenting anyway because I’m your number one fan!
Awww thank you Mrs. Leeds. And hey it's a good reason to finally give Demon's Souls a try. It's good to see how the Souls formula came to be after all
2:14 impressive. As soon as I read the title I thought "how long will it take him to make a "upper hand" pun?". It took you longer than I imagined. That's top notch writing right there.

I was very happy to hear Powerwof in the intro
I always love the remix choices at the start of your videos, Press. Great music taste, eclipsed only by your mastery of puns lol.
Before watching: No, no you can't. The reason? King of Storms.
In any case, I'm here for the journey.
Yeah the eternal problem in this game
Hell yeah! Keep the demons souls content coming ❤

I think there's even a mod for that, because I recall that Lobos did an always running run in DS1 a long time ago

I like how you can just say lemon and people will understand what your talking about
Great editing and as always funny puns. Keep up this high quality!
Altijd goede videos bro, en altijd geniale woordgrappen, blijf doorgaan bro

Haven't watched the video, but that song sounded like Powerwolf's style so i had to look it up. Love being right and great choice dude!
Powerwolf good choice 2:20
A million puns in 6 minutes already and so many of them hurt but I love it
Finally some good f-ing food. I love all the runs you do but Demon's Souls really grew on me. Good job as always!

Damn son, you REALLY had to go in deep on that Penetrator finish.
fist by fist (sacrilize or strike) is such a banger, now you made me listen to powerwolf, you bastard

The number of hoplites is somewhere between 13 and Graham’s Number 😂 Nobody will get this. But I got it. And I love it 🤣
Lower bound and upper bound. Just er... small gap in our knowledge.
I got it too! There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Believe me when i say, we will gladly watch you suffer against phalanx for 32 minutes. Also great video, cant wait to see whats next.
Great video and great music choice 🎉

I remembered recently that DS2 has a built in challenge run. The Illusory ring challenges.
1 - complete a run without dying
2 - complete a run without resting at a bonfire (can still light them for checkpoints if necessary)
Stacking these together could make for a hard challenge with stakes that only get heavier the deeper you get into it.
Bonus: doing it in NG+ with the extra phantom enemies.
I don't have the skill or commitment for this but could be an interesting idea for another DS2 run if you're looking for more ideas?

No, wait. Demon's Souls came first.
Shoryuken Only V0.5?
Love the Powerwolf embrace❤

Yes. I laughed at the phalanx/van langs joke. I will not apologize for it. It was funny.
Finally some love for Demon's Souls❤

You really gave the Phalanx van langs! 💪💪
Heel hard!
At least someone got the punch line

this was fun
You could say it was.... a cut above the rest
Pitch shifted powerwolf really threw me off there 😂
I really thought you might not get the evil ending because the attack would whiff the maiden in black until the timer ran out!
" ik mag toch wel zeggen dat ik de baas er van langs gegeven heb " 💣💥
En flink ook
POWERWOLF MENTIONED!! WE DRINK YOUR BLOOD!!🔥🔥
Really punched above your weight class here.
Mighty fine handywoork, Press.

This makes Balls of Steel from ER look like a Legendary like weapon, lol
Well, in fairness, they are. The iron balls in ER are completely OP after all
Fist Weapons really have grown since the beginning... Yikes.
We eating good tonight thanks Press
The grates attack that can be countered by standing still.
At least in the original the left hand jab came out faster, which was great for interrupts.
Oh really? Didn't know there was a speed difference there
@@PressContinue Yeah, used to run a poisoned claw offhand with a baby's nail main hand to proc all 3 statuses during invasions. Followed it up with familiar's prank for the laugh sound effect.
if only ds 1 could be remade by bluepoint , ds1 with the graphical engine of demon souls
Who knows whether will happen at some point or not. Wouldn't be surprised
Hopefully the second time they wouldn't massacre the art style of the game
Didn't DS1 also has a upper cut? That one at least looks fancy tho.
But tbh, neither can compare to the Hadouken from DS2
Yeah I did DS1 with the bone fist jumping uppercut over 2 years ago
8:08 Ik vond hem grappig hoor
