These weapons might be considered bad, but at least the bonewheel shield and dragon bone fist are bad to the bone. However if you're sharp, you'll decide to use the claw. But if you're truly smart as a whip, you'll realize that the notched whip is cracked. And if you quickly want to make your way to NG+2, you need to go by cycle.

It's a fun run once it gets going, but the start is a pain. Farming for the bonewheel isn't as bad as it looks, but I think any greatshield would work if you don't want to.
@@Raen5 Oh, I already know shield-only DS1 is going to be almost prohibitively boring. The very earliest greatshield that you don't have to farm is the eagle greatshield in Blighttown, and the first one that's actually good is the tower shield you buy in Sen's. I might use the bonewheel if I get it, but that's a very big if, and would be after O&S besides because navigating the catacombs normally is already a chore, so I'll be damned if I have to climb all the way back from Vamos without fast travel.
@@Hyndsyte2020if you still wanna do a shield run theres a good video by Be And about a DS2 shield only run. Started doing it myself by loosely following his video and its fun so far
Hi, Speedrunner here. I like explaining weird things that happen in this game so here's a couple timestamps I noticed. 11:15 DSR's 60fps makes iron golem "randomly" pop up super high in the air when you knock him over specific collisions in the arena. Sometimes he can actually get stuck midair if you manage to have him fall on one of the pillars, it's pretty funny. 21:20 you performed a grab cancel by attacking the moment an enemy grabbed you. This CAN be used in other applications like with iron golem to launch yourself into anor londo, or with a demon worm in demon ruins to get into centipedes boss room. 26:40 that attack quelaag did happens when you deal 400+ damage to her butt. Its kind of similar to how iron golem staggers when you deal 400 damage to his feet and then another 200 to make him fall over. 45:11 you triggered accidental slope fall damage. While running at specific angles down this path (and quite frankly a TON throughout the game) the game registers you as being airborn and not on stable ground, so the moment you touch something the game registers as "stable ground" it takes your last registered height value and is like "oh okay, I need to give this much fall damage now"
@@JKLeeds I once drove through Yorkshire. At a gas station, a group of youngsters held me up and asked me which club I support. Of course I answered: "Liverpool." But when they brandished their knives, I said "JK, Leeds."
_"There were many other weapons, besides The Bare Fists, that were improved in the other games because of how bad they were as weapons back in DS1, And they went from mid weapon types to actually good weapon types."_
45:11 someone else already explained this happened because the game thought you were airborn, but just wanted to add that I had this happen once on the elevator at firelink that takes you to undead parish. One time I was riding it down but kept walking forward into the wall, and my character was really jittery because there's a slightly elevated piece of ground on the edge of the elevator it kept trying to walk on top of. When I finally stopped moving I just instantly died because the elevator had already traveled what the game considers a lethal fall distance and I hadn't been on "stable" ground since before I got on the elevator.
JK calls Big Hat Logan ‘Hugh Jackman’ and the Channeler above Gaping Dragon ‘Channeling Tatum’. …someone watched Deadpool and Wolverine before he wrote that part of the script.
21:24 My basic understanding says that you may have done a 'grab cancel'. Basically if you land a blow on an enemy on the same exact frame their grab 'grabs' you, it instead breaks the grab, and tends to throw you around. NGPlus's video 'Can you Beat All Dark Souls Bosses in Alphabetical Order?' talks a bit about it. The lucky part you had was that it just put you behind Gwyn, sometimes, especially if it's done with a running attack, it can absolutely LAUNCH you, even force you well out of bounds.
45:13 Dark souls can have some weird collision when going up and down slopes, especially the path here and the ones to the archers. The game thinks you fell, dealing fall damage as a result.
@justsomeone883 it's only that first arch that leads to the imps, the knights, shouldn't, be aggroed on you from that arch, but even even a light jaunt should be fine its sprinting, or walking while light gives enough volacity to make the game think your falling.
Yeh wikidot does that on a few pages. Quelagg and the gaping dragons pages claim they are vulnerable to bleed but if you go to the bleed page (best way to get there is via the endurance stat page) it clearly says they are immune to bleed. Then again it also says Quelagg is immune to toxic but she's simply extremely resistant rather than immune.
That last Kalameet fight was so awesome looking. I love his original ost, but after hearing that new song, I can't help but wish fromsoft would make a boss them with electric guitars for their next game. It would fit so well!
Your trio 3-cycle videos are so unique as a spin on challenge runs, and let you overcome some of the challenges of getting certain weapons at the start of a run without "cheating". My favourite part of this format so far has been how it shows off the additional NG+ mechanics when you do it in DS2, i'd vote for more challenges there.
No how actually... I watched so many of your vidoes and those fricking puns are always so funny. How do you come up with SO MANY different puns each video. Best part of all the videos 100%
Here's 2 ideas for a challenge run 1.Controls are flipped (if move right on controller ypu move left and if you try to move up you move down) 2.Not moving camera at all (disabling right analog button) (Apologies for bad English)
21:24 thats called a grab cancel, you can use it to skip a few bosses and fling you around the arena. you can do it to iron golem to fling you up to anor londo
Before finishing Darksoul's: Bro this guy is running through the game with shields while i'm stuck on 2nd boss with proper weapons and equipment After finishing Darksoul's: Hehe bonk bonk.
This run was as much suffering as I expected. Entertaining nonetheless. Always like seeing more weapons used in these games. Plus these three cycle runs are probably my favorite content from you. I’m always happy to see more like this in DS1 and 3. I wouldn’t mind seeing them in ER but that’s definitely a much bigger time investment. Keep up the good work JK!
That loss of health in Anor Londo was fall damage. In some the ramped areas running down too quickly can damage you, and sometimes running to the hero's soul can even kill you.
45:13 if you run down the support beams the game will sometimes render it as falling and you take fall damage, i've had it kill me, when try to get the heros soul next to the sniper.
I've done these 3 runs in the past. Shields only is fun, specifically if you get an early drop from the black knights. Fist weapons only is more tedious than challenging, a test of patience rather than skill. And for Whips only I gave up after Quelaag, it was just awful.
Whips are really underrated, just because they cant do viscerals (which is stupid) their insane range shouldnt be overlooked and they are one of my favourite weapon classes in every game honestly even if they are at their worst in Dark Souls 1 in my opinion, though most of the weapon classes are very fun so that isnt saying much. Gauntlets i hear can be good if you build right but im not a huge fan myself, and shields are fun for meme builds The weapon classes i like the most in each game are probably: Ultra Greatswords (DS2, and the same but singular in DS3), Dagger/Whip (ER), Greatsword/Dagger (DS1), Literally Everything (BB)
the queelag buttshake is almost EXCLUSIVELY used when her ai starts cooperating and letting you behind her with easy reads, it deals stupid damage for no reason after pretending to not be able to hit you.
@45:16 it's a collision bug with that specific bridge. If you move too fast across it, you "fall" and take a bit of fall damage. You can walk slower, or just wear the cat ring.
The same thing happened to me in Anor Londo with the health loss. I believe due to the awkward angles of that walkway and the sprinting of your character it creates a damaging collision effect with your character and the object similar to a lot of other video games.
I've had that happen to me at 45:14 as well, back when the game first came out. I think it's because your moving down so fast and at that angle the game thinks your falling and hit a stop when you went over the middle. I don't know for sure, but I do remember that being in a video or something back then about minor glitches and what not.
"crazy how you can see new things in these games after all this time" ...You forgot a boss each playthrough. The twinned Sanctuary Guardians in the DLC. It's ultimately a very minor boss addendum, but if you go back to where the first one was after beating the rest of the DLC, you can fight two of them at once.
45:13 is fall damage. If you sprint down that specific slope at just the right angle, you can actually trick the game into thinking you're in free fall and deal chip damage to yourself. Never seen quite that much from it before, so that's interesting, but that's what it is.
At 45:15 you lost health because of the way you were against the middle of the slope, the game thinks you’re falling because of the weird sliding thing you do. The same thing can happen on the other buttress with the other archer and the soul of a hero, it can also happen in Valley of the Drakes before the first drake if you’re coming from firelink.
Random but, the Shield segment of the video makes me think...yknow how the Bonewheel Shield has a special attack, and stuff...why didn't they make a Boomerang shield with a special effect of being thrown and retrieved back as it returns to the player, doing larger damage while throwing, and about half the damage when coming back (if it connects) I do NOT remember if there is something like that in Elden Ring but can you blame me there are thousands of weapons-
@@JKLeeds Ah! Well good to learn, i was wondering cause, there aint no way i'm the only one that manages to think that. We need more Boomerangs. Boomerags are nice. Boomerang only run?- I'm JK, no wait, you're JK. I'm having an existential crisis, i'm sorry-
30:26 My first playthroughs of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls basically revolved around parrying and backstabs. Parrying because it was cool, backstabs because it was easy. And it does a lot of damage.
I've noticed it too. It's something to do with the geometry of that part. When you are running the game thinks you are higher than you are and then suddenly lower, so fall damage. I got no game data about it, just what I have seen myself.
45:13 not sure if anyone's chimed in on this yet, but iirc the damage has to do with the jank collision of the area combined with the change in elevation: basically, running in on those slopes sometimes makes the game think you're falling, which leads to sudden fall damage. This is actually a pretty old issue, and it's even worse on the steeper ramps near the Anor Londo Archers. Pretty sure I've seen people die just by running towards the Soul of a Hero to the archers' left side 😬 Also, maybe not everyone will understand the pokémon BW reference, but those that do appreciate you very much 😁
What a wonderful birthday present from the youtube algoryth to see this. I love seeing this guy in a constant state of suffering from time to time, peak content
This may have been said before so sorry if I'm repeating, but for future runs you should look into the catarina spike shield you get from siegmeyer, its surprisingly good for dealing damage
21:25 grab cancel, weird thing that happens when you hit an enemy on the exact same frame that they try to use a grab attack, rare enough of an occurrence that it never ended up getting fixed
So, after doing some research and watching other souls players runs as well, I've noticed that a lot of people seem to take damage there. It looks like when you ran over the peak of the walkway you're walking on the game considers it a fall, because there is a change in elevation or relative position, so it assumes a fall.
For your next run in Eldon ring you should do all archery challenges starting with bows in ng then as you go use crossbows great bows and ballistas and with the dlc being out you can use a couple weapons that people look over
Yeah I think he should try the magic and archery runs on ER some day. They’re both definitely fun. Though I could never finish my archery run because of Radagon deflecting all my shots.

45:13 My guess is that, since you're going down a slope, the game must have confused the downward movement as you falling and gave you fall damage.

I appreciate these long videos. A lot of folks only do 10 minute videos and it isnt as ideal for watching while coding or relaxing.
45:13 - Fall Damage. Sometimes happens when you run that things. It detects some fall because the character doesn't touch the ground to much time.
Came for the runs, staying for the puns. You, sir, gained a new subscriber!
Dark Messenger AND Over the Hill? Got me wanting to play FFIX again, Mr. Leeds
As you said "as italians say" and as now I say: Bellissimo

0:42 Considering I haven't been invited out to dinner before, I'd probably take Bad Derp up on his offer.
30:26 My first playthroughs of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls basically revolved around parrying and backstabs. Parrying because it was cool, backstabs because it was easy. And it does a lot of damage.
This is the first JK Leeds video I've watched (came from Lemon) and I really thought the pun would be a one time thing the first time lmao
I've noticed it too. It's something to do with the geometry of that part. When you are running the game thinks you are higher than you are and then suddenly lower, so fall damage.
I got no game data about it, just what I have seen myself.
45:13 not sure if anyone's chimed in on this yet, but iirc the damage has to do with the jank collision of the area combined with the change in elevation: basically, running in on those slopes sometimes makes the game think you're falling, which leads to sudden fall damage.
This is actually a pretty old issue, and it's even worse on the steeper ramps near the Anor Londo Archers. Pretty sure I've seen people die just by running towards the Soul of a Hero to the archers' left side 😬
Also, maybe not everyone will understand the pokémon BW reference, but those that do appreciate you very much 😁
Love the Pokémon puns, Garganacles were a top notch one ✨
Bad Derp looks like he’d invite me out to chew through sheet metal, and reenact the battering ram scene from Lord of the Rings with his forehead
What a wonderful birthday present from the youtube algoryth to see this. I love seeing this guy in a constant state of suffering from time to time, peak content
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to ya!
To topple Iron Golem you must deal a specific damage threshold to each leg. It is not poise based, it is entirely damage threshold based.
This may have been said before so sorry if I'm repeating, but for future runs you should look into the catarina spike shield you get from siegmeyer, its surprisingly good for dealing damage
21:25 grab cancel, weird thing that happens when you hit an enemy on the exact same frame that they try to use a grab attack, rare enough of an occurrence that it never ended up getting fixed
45:20 that’s just a thing that happens. I have no idea why, but it’s been that way ever since the game the first came out.
Love the Cascarrafa OST for the first part of the video ✨
Hey I think I'll accept this fella's dinner offer, seems like an upstanding chap
So, after doing some research and watching other souls players runs as well, I've noticed that a lot of people seem to take damage there. It looks like when you ran over the peak of the walkway you're walking on the game considers it a fall, because there is a change in elevation or relative position, so it assumes a fall.
these runs must be truly hard, good work and congrats on the 100k subs!
Perhaps that new attack was Quelaag's bleed animation, bursting those hemorrhoids
You could have used the barbed gauntlets that you can get from Kirk at the Daughter of Chaos to increase the damage of fist weapons
For your next run in Eldon ring you should do all archery challenges starting with bows in ng then as you go use crossbows great bows and ballistas and with the dlc being out you can use a couple weapons that people look over
Yeah I think he should try the magic and archery runs on ER some day. They’re both definitely fun.
Though I could never finish my archery run because of Radagon deflecting all my shots.
@@TREVORVADER I started one and learned you have to play right next to radagon so prevent them from chain blocking your arrows
@@realduskk5519 I’ll have to try again sometime and see if this works for me. I feel like if I could just beat Radagon then Elden Beast would be easy.
