Beating Dark Souls 1 with items only from Firelink Shrine

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มี.ค. 2023
  • The premise of this run is that I can only use items found in firelink shrine, the main hub of Dark Souls 1. Pretty much anything goes as long as it is found in the area. You know the usual business by now.
    Music used in order:
    It Began with a Letter - Kingdom Hearts
    Tree Spirit Jurak - Dark Cloud 2
    5:00 PM - Animal Crossing: New Horizons
    To Sunshine Forest - Mother 3
    Haven Forest - Jak 2
    Hymn of Storm - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
    Route 225 - Pokémon Diamond & Pearl
    Mountain Level Start - Death's Door
    Kannon's Klaim - Donkey Kong Country 2
    Battle! (Champion) - Pokémon Diamond & Pearl
    LOVE Theme (Arranged) - Mother 3

    Hello everyone. Sorry if the audio seems a little scuffed, Im switching recording software going forward so get excited for that I guess.
    Also if you'd like to see me livestream I try and do so Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday here on youtube so keep an eye on the community page for updates on that.
    Have a nice weekend!

    A couple things:
    1: I appreciate explaining things without the assumption that someone has played the game. It makes the video date better and accessible to people who haven't played the game or don't know it super well. I've been watching Dark Souls challenge runs since before I played it recently.
    2: I was NOT expecting Dark Chronicle/Dark Cloud 2 (UK/USA naming is different) music in this. It's good.

    Having a good time with this so far, mostly the winged spear +5. Changed the rules a little bit, I don't need to unlock any rights to use or upgrade items like you did. Always wanted to use the Caduceus shield and now I finally have a reason to. Got gargoyles down, moonlight butterfly, asylum demon (took a while, but still first try) and taurus of course. Gonna grind up to the zweihander now I think that might work ok for most of the run. Also allowed myself armor drops from the undead as those can theoretically drop within Firelink Shrine. Just need the boots to have the full set, what a terrible set it is, heavy and weak all at once. Thanks so much again for this idea! Was running out...and the bandwidth is narrow because I'm just not good enough to do SL 1 runs and that kind of stuff, always get stuck at O&S. Let's see how this goes...

      maybe the peak of not trying. This run is not a challenge by any means, which is why he had to change the rules to make it into a challenge. If this was DS2, it may have been a challenge, but DS1 by the end lets you have just about anything you could want from Firelink Shrine by the time you've got the Lord Vessel. Doesn't help that the creator is trying to be an edgelord either, with the daring people to bitch at him because of how he mispronounced Chasm, which does nothing but show he's stupid (as in, choosing incompetence), which is proof no one should follow his example.
