    Just in time for the remake.
    This video is a "glitchless" version of my previous SL1 run. Hopefully, it'll help for the next remake.
    [EDIT] Works in the remake.
    Since YTs comment system sucks if y'all have any questions there's a thread on /r/ymfah : www.reddit.com/r/ymfah/comments/in5maf/thread_how_to_level_1_demons_souls/?

      It's probably to make the run a "true" challenge, a test of player's skill, understanding of the game and patience, and not "how can I crank the numbers up high enough to make the game relatively easy even without leveling up my character". It's similar to the reason why there are separate speedrun categories for "glitched" and "glitchless" (though certain speedrun glitches are quite difficult to perform, so it's not a perfect analogy).

      Though admittedly, the language used in that ban list was kinda low-key judgey about stuff they considered cheap/overpowered/cheesey. Plus, setting that many fine criteria can kinda feel pedantic; even if it's justified it still looks sort of silly on paper.

    If u don’t know demons souls is the only souls game to have a mechanic where is you walk up to certain ledges you could just climb. It was unique but it was hard to find places that were meant to be clambered. like in this situation where only the ledge right here is climbable and most other ledges that look the same in this level aren’t.

    I love how you treated the ban list. Personally I feel if it's in the game it's free game. For instance people always tell new people in ds1 to not get the Drake sword but that thing falls off pretty fast and ain't worth leveling so they will naturally gravitate to something else. Personally I'm always happy when I see someone swap to the claymore due to it being in the same area (also the roll attack is godly). Never got to play demon souls due to not having a PS3 but the game is so broken from everything I've seen. Hackers getting their armor broke by the scraping spear, backstab chaining, mass item duping, the list goes on. Arguably ds1 has the same backstab chaining and item duping though, it's rare that I do a run anymore without duping a boss soul to save time.

      andy yeah it probably stems from the fact that demons souls which is not only the shortest souls game is also the easiest to do a sl1 run with all this cheese. That and how it’s the oldest souls game has led to its small dedicated community to create better challenges for those who actually want more masochism.
      The rules also make sense (although the ones ymfah showed are a little confusing) but since it’s a dedicated challenge run for pure skill it’s only natural they prohibit tactics that ruin boss encounters like sniping the maneaters before even walking thru the fog gate or using hyper mode to kill bosses in a couple hits before they are even a threat.

    I have never played this game, but your videos are always so great that I watched the entire thing anyways.

    I love how the jonathan theme kicks in as soon as you buff you weapon with fire

    Every day, I imagine a future where I can be with you
    In my hand is a pen that will write a poem of me and you
    The ink flows down into a dark puddle
    Just move your hand - write the way into his heart!
    But in this world of infinite choices
    What will it take just to find that special day?
    What will it take just to find that special day?
    [Verse 2]
    Have I found everybody a fun assignment to do today?
    When you're here, everything that we do is fun for them anyway
    When I can't even read my own feelings
    What good are words when a smile says it all?
    And if this world won't write me an ending
    What will it take just for me to have it all?
