The Low Level One Shot | Backlogs One Shot Contest (Dark Souls Remastered CHALLENGE)

- The Low Level One-Shot Challenge is a classic challenge I've always wanted to tackle, and what better motivation than for my friend The Backlogs to challenge an entire pack of runners to tackle it.
It's one level for every one-shot. Can we clear the entire game under the Low Level One-Shot Challenge?

So apparently there’s been a couple mixups and confusion regarding a couple things, which is understandable, so figured I’d clear up a couple things.
- All the runners took on our runs at the same time, not one after the other. We all went our separate ways and did our own runs at roughly the same time and made our own strats at roughly the same time. Some people are faster at making videos than others, so it may seem like everything is desynced but trust me, we all ran it at the same time.
- The video is written from SOLELY the perspective of my run. Because #1 it would be a jackass move to spoil other people’s videos, and #2 it would ruin the entire point of the finale of the whole competition.
- There’s a reason that I frame things with a sense of Ambiguity when I say things like “world first” because again, we don’t want to spoil the final project. We’ll all see what happens when it all comes to a close 😁
Hope that helps with some of the confusion on things
Fantastic video!
I didn't know that most of those bosses were doable in one shot, at least without exploits. But you did all that without Tumble-Buffs, which is truly amazing
Would firestorm with multiple kings spawned be possible?
Btw pyromancy scales with humanity, maybe you could've increased your chances on Manus with all that + 10 humanity and use Chaos Storm instead for lava pools?
@@KippClimbs Keep in mind you are between 4K trying to cast solidly slow spell even on dex cap, and all of them are ought to attack you with their long swords.
Once again, it's so interesting to see where every contestant approach differs. Sure late game there's not that much variation but I've seen quite a bit of variety in how everyone started the run so far. And of course... the 4 kings one-shot. That's one hell of a milestone in and of itself. Not to mention that not only is it that anyone at all managed to figure a way to do it, but that multiple people discovered this independent of each other over a decade after the game's release. That's a thing of beauty
Wonderful seeing other Dark Souls content creators in this one comment section.
Crapalicious
I love u
I've been enjoying watching all 3 of the dark souls challenge content creators.
"Perhaps one day, maybe some weekend it will happen"
It's so cool seeing everyone solve the same obstacles in their own unique ways. Nice run, and congrats
@MeatyJesus I can picture you punching the air rn
Didn’t you do this a month ago?
@christopherjones260 he released his video a month ago, the dates for dojng the run were the same, but people edit their videos at diffrent speeds
Poor meaty had to kill Manus fuckin twice because dusk disaster lol
@@ChadwickThompson-i8s but hey it probably means he wins, given that he's also the only one to beat 4 kings within the rules (that I've seen), plus every other boss/npc/etc !
That 4 kings spawn location trick was crazy man, hats off.
yeah but sadly i saw it on another run already, so i smiled that someone else found the trick, but was not surprised by that strategy
but still, the 2nd person on youtube who managed to kill the 4 kings in one attack without glitches or counting the 4 kings as 4 enemies
@@TheRobben98it's even more impressive that no one supposedly done it or thought of it in 13 years but then we get 2 people who did it
Meaty jesus did it before this guy
@@Kratos34975 well he uploaded his video before, but who achieved that goal first is another question
@@TheRobben98
It is much more likely that the video that got uploaded before inspired this one
None of the challengers was able to do this four kings one shot
And suddenly after meaty jesus did it
This guy also did the exact same trick with the exact same spell that nobody even considered it, what a coincidence
Be real man .
once 4 people oneshot the 4 kings they become the new 4 kings
3 down. 1 to go
I can hardly wait for the Backlogs video.
Me too. I honestly thought it would be out by now, but I guess it's taking longer than I thought it would. I'm not any good at video editing anyway, plus I have no idea how many runs he has to go through, so I can't even tell when he will be ready. All I know is that I can't wait until he releases it.
Is in out now?
@@EternallCosmos no

Great vid! I was really excited to see your run and it didnt disappoint 😊
agreed
did you get invited too?
Omfg I cant believe you commented, you and lemon is why I watch soulsborne challenges and found this awesome guy
Another Dragon King Greataxe enjoyer, I see! GG, great run
Meaty Jesus did the same strategy for the 4 Kings. Idk if any other runner did it too but still impressive you came to that conclusion as well!!
Imagine one-shotting Four kings only to mess up the one shot on one dark knight, eliminating a point
I still think he deserved that point since he hit him once and died
I think that's in the rules right? One press, enemy died. We'll see when Lemon sorts it all out I guess. @@gramerjenna
About the blood stain you where curious about: when you enter the boss room, the game loads a separate map underneath the room you actually stepped in, this is room copy’s the data from the room above and extends the room out quite long, you picked up your bloodstain in the boss room but not the actual boss room meaning your actual blood stain was in the actual boss room still, sorry if that was confusing but tldr game tricks you into thinking your somewhere else and then gets confused about your bloodstain data
Thanks for that, it was super confusing live. I'll tell him to check this comment out.
There's an Illusory Wall video on this particular trick.
@@cranapple3367 yes! That is a great video!
You're*
@@premierpp8148 😞
Ive watched like 5 other youtubers do this run and im not stopping
Same dude watching the strategy and progression is entertaining as hell
That 4 kings kill was insane. And also i think we can all give you credit you went at Manus for 10 hours. I think you deserve a medal or something.
It may only seem like a single video, but man, this is a culmination of one wild summer. Weeks of planning, the run proper up to THE BOIS, and then the editing grind. It feels like a great final chapter to it all. It was great to be there, and I can't wait for The Low Level One Shot (Dark Souls 2: SotFS) Challenge.
Or DS3, whichever comes first.
"She's almost two and a halt Pinwheels"
Pinwheel, new mesuring unit 🤣😭💀
Since pinwheel is such a pushover and in comparison Quelag is very difficult, wouldnt she be more like 80 of him😂 Or 77.5 since shes 2.5 pinsheels hp.
When the world needed him most…HE RETURNS
The Kingdom hearts music fit so perfectly, god I love it.
anyway, love how you gave the history of this run! Especially because I...didn't know it lmao Great video!
That trick with the Four Kings was jaw-dropping.
Bloody brilliant, nicely job!!
so i just learned about this competition. and i watched all vids. i dont care who wins it. you guys all did great and hell better than i ever could hope to be playing any Soulsborne game.
I can't get enough of these videos, I hope there are other runners! It's absolutely amazing how nobody was able to one shot the Four Kings for 12 years, and now two people did it with the same technique, without consulting each other. Truly an achievement, congrats.
That 4 Kings One-Shot was insane. First time I have seen it.
Keep it up, mate.
Congratulations! I’m glad I get to see people be so smart about the four kings
Plus the Manus attempts sounds like a pain and regardless it’s an amazing achievement
The best part is when you said that Lemon "probably already uploaded his video" xDDD
This channel is hugely underrated your challenges are the best, and you editing skills and choice of music is top notch.
This was so awesome Kyle! Inspirational display of skill and determination. Not to mention great editing as always. Well done!
This was an excellent run! However, I did watch another player on shot Manus. You are 100% correct. It was all about luck. You had the exact way too. One shot him down. You just had to wait for him to jump backwards to get the damage boost.
Excellent work!
Yeah that was Doom Wolf
honestly props for killing ceaseless without the glitch, I saw a bunch of other vids were they cheese him and while i'd never fault them for that bc all these videos are amazing and I could never pull any of this off myself it was a nice change to see someone do that bit by the book
watching these types of challenges has raised my awareness of bits of this game that had been overlooked or never discovered. thanks!! ; )
that four kings defeat is fucking mental dude! I did an audible "ooohhhh" when you actually pulled it off
I can only apologize for the lateness of this note, but after watching Lemon’s video, I’ve been trying to go back to all the individual contestant’s videos, and i really enjoy your narration style.
Just wanted to come over from The Backlogs crowd to say congratulations on completing the run! You earned yourself a follow from me, with hopes it lessens the 6033 PTSD (You're number 4. First Baron, then JK, Doom Wolf and now yourself all emotionally scarred by Manus. Foreshadowing for the other runners?). But honestly, you 1000% deserve that 4 Kings kill, you owned it my dude! Do we have to wait for Lemon's Leaderboard to find out the winner?
That 4 Kings kill was super impressive!
The video quality is incredible all throughout too so keep it up!:)
I love how close the souls challenge community is, I mean look, presscontinue and jkleeds are here in the comments rn being wholesome,respect
Great run and the editing has become on another level 😮
Imagine opting out of perfection.
Your artorias Trick was awesome - and your Heads on approach to ceaseless. If i remember correctly it was the Most straightforward approach.
the 4 kings one shot was insane
24:58 - "the Firebomb Goddess"
I see what you did there. 🤣
Fantastic video, awesome run! Never knew you could plunge attack Queelag.
YOOO MY MANS FIGURE IT OUT FOR THE 4 KINGS. Let goooo!! Nice going Kyle!! Great vid!!
damn dude, didnt have to go and hit us with that majula bgm in the end, hits different for this challenge
you are truly amazing at dark souls. Hope lemon uploads his video fast
Glorious. What a great video. Congrats on the 4 Kings strat
Bro.. i shouted out loud when i saw you pull that shit on the 4 kings. Amazing
That Four Kings stray was worth the like alone , love to see the high level problem solving
Been following you from the early days and seeing you achieve something no one else has in this game ngl made me tear up
Dude, i really like how you fought o&s, most runners did the firestorm thing, so its refreshing seeing you use the dragon axe
That means that you're tied with Meaty Jesus for being the first person to one-shot the four kings
One other challenge that I thought about is: Can you beat Dark Souls with only using the dragon head? I love your vids. They give much insight and are fun to watch!
Great video Kyle! Hope you keep up the great content
Great work! As a great fan of your videos i can see the progresu that you've made as a ds player and also a filmmaker! Keep doing what you do, because this work is as good as another ds community legends like Ymfah, Baron's Castle or Press Continue! Don't you dare go Hollow!
Been so long since I’ve seen 1 of your videos
Truly a treat 🥰
Cool that you were the second person i saw kill four kings after meaty, i know he talked about it in his video
So cool to see all the creators we all know and love come together to tackle this run and in the progress of that even make dark souls history multiple times. What a time to be alive, kudos to you and all the others, and hats off for the crazy 4 kings strategies.
Dammit! Just got this in my notifications as I was going to bed
so glad he came back to ds remastered. i couldn't watch any of his content because it was all elden ring and i didn't want spoilers. anyway, it's nice to get a new vid.
Its crazy how you posted this the day after i got this game on steam
That's the way I would've done! That kill on 4 kings... JUST AMAZING!
which is the video where he sings gangstas paradise in the age of dark ending- help
Fantastic video as always
Ngl i watch like 7 different souls challenge youtubers and its always a surprise when i hear the voice for the first time, just cant remember them all
(Tho your voice is *very* nice)
Xenoblade music is so underutilized in TH-cam content, made my so happy to hear you will know our names you have no idea
A dark souls video starting with a Metroid prime soundtrack? Count me In!
just need to say it, i love your transitions and would love to see more than almost exclusively DS1, DS3 with your style would be nice, i love DS1 but some other soulsborne games would just be awesome
I can totally understand that it is no fun to "beat" RNG. Great video! 😃👍
Oneshot Route K(yle): You’re on fire, Serg!
Finally another one up to the challenge
I saw watched this challenge from many other youtubers and i was desperately waiting for GamersWeekend version .. now i can say i'm not disappointed, regardless of Manus you absolutely killed it.
PS: none of the other yourubers did Four Kings as far as i know.
I saw another get it. I want to say Meaty Jesus is the other one.
Edit: I may be confused. SOMEONE also got Manus so maybe that was Meaty Jesus. Sorry...
Edit 2: Doom Wolf got Manus.
@@Cautionary_Tale_Harris I watched JK Leeds and Doom Wolf runs, i just watched Meaty Jesus video and yes he did both Four Kings and Manus, with the same techniques
Nicely done!
31:15 You did it. You crazy SoB you did it!
Subbed for that Four Kings kill
Every time you use Metroid music in one of your videos, my inner nerd smiles.
SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T WATCHED THE VIDEO:
Congrats on finishing the run, especially possibly being one of the first to one button the Four Kings! I'm very much a noob when it comes to Souls games so it was amazing to see this kind of challenge run! And to think you did it while accidentally forgetting to use a few level up points, not sure if they would've changed the Manus fight but I agree that if the fight was too luck based to be possible it wasn't worth it if you weren't having fun after over 300 attempts. Great video and I can't wait for your next one! :)
I've said it once and I'll say it again; this dude sounds just like Benson from Regular Show when he shouts
Appropriate mention of the Fire Bomb Goddess, Patron Goddess of the Firebomb Academy.
bro when lemons vid comes out i will actually cry
eazy peazy lemon squeazy
We've gotta go back? To the logs one might say? Eh? Eh? I'll see myself out.
What a great video, cant wait to see backlogs’ video on everyone’s attempts! Question: do you think you’ll continue with the ds3 play through or is that kind cancelled/put on hiatus?
Oh my god did anyone else ever notice that wall sliding away from the ladder after pinwheel dies? I almost always left the arena right away or thought it just had a fog wall
Why did the four kings part feel like a summoning salt video
Great job!
WORLD'S FIRST CREATIVE STRATEGY TO ONE SHOT FOUR KINGS
Cool video
27:50 Russian youtuber Ekky oneshoted four kings 2 years ago, you can find the video "Dark souls remstered за 1 удар" but that was made with moveswap bug
I honest to god thought 4K was going to be full on impossible. Nice to be proven wrong.
Nice to hear some good old Castlevania CoD ost for once.
Incredible!!
High effort, high quality content!
The arena where you fight Gwyndolin is a duplicate. The game does transfert the bloodstain from the long hallway when you defeat Gwydolin.
I am so happy for and proud of you and Meaty Jesus 💜💜💜💜
Beat ng7 as crestfallen worrier i dare you
IM SOO GLAD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!! I’ve missed you
You're the best.
For the record I respect the heck out of you for skipping Manus.
I think the random blood stain was a blood stain from another player's world. I think they said if you fail to retrieve your blood stain, it will go to another player's world and they can pick it up.
i love me some Dark Souls, praise the sun my friends!
Id been wondering if you were part of this contest, after the hint press continue appeared to drop. What a rush to watch this. and what an ending... rough as it is.
Really cool strategy
No way he really did 4 kings i watched 4 other challenge runners and they all gave up 4 kings so respect to gamersweekend
Honestly a challenge that incentivises killing npcs hurts but cest la vie
how in the world does it hurt to kill characters in a game? If you have some weird attachment to video game characters you might want to seek a psychologist
7:48 i've NEVER seen this animation when falling to death
