- Dark Souls 2 Chime Melee Attacks Only. Can you beat Dark Souls 2 with a miracle build but without any miracles? In this "guide" I show how to survive Dark Souls II scholar of the first sin edition (PS4) by only using chime melee attacks to do damage against enemies. So only the casting tools for miracles but no actual miracles or hexes.

Watched them all already, several times you legend
Best video so far, amazing work! Keep it up you magnificent man
I think the disk chime used to do massive damage as melee but was patched out?
It still does. I even show in the video that it does almost twice as much damage at +0 compared to the +5 dragon chime
@@PressContinue I love the epic jokes gamer 😎
I’d like to imagine that this character wanted so desperately to be a cleric, but could never figure out how to use chimes to cast properly; so they just used them to pummel the enemy’s face in.
they should have leveled int a bit then haha
@@jojolmfao they weren't smart enough to think of that
the choosen chime pummeler
If it works, it works.
10 faith, 1 intelligence build
the jokes and word play in this one really make it special, mad props
His use of the english language is far better than most Americans i know.
Google: Use the chime to cast miracles.
Bing:
The true miracle biuld is the people we harassed with a bell along the way.
The true miracle build was the people we bashed chimes into their skulls to the rhythm of Megalovania on the way ☠️
Reason why the looking glass knight takes more lightning damage is because water in DS2 buffs lightning damage while also weakening fire damage.
Correct. But what's worse is that this spplies to the invader npcs too
I was watching something else then I got the notification and here we are. Perfect background noise while I attempt to make it through the Olacile township with humanity active on NG+ with my Solaire build
When I did a similar run for shiggles, I named my character Bell Delphine.
Oooooh good one!
That Mytha joke took me off guard and made me laugh way harder than it should've
I'm fully convinced this man has never beaten a souls game in a normal playthrough, just straight challenge run on day 1 lmao
Genuinely the most funny video I've watched in a while, had me cracking up, thanks for the laughs man, keep up the good work!
Honestly, absolute slammer of a video, mate. It's hard to remember cracking up this consistently at a challenge run like this; you're really hitting your stride as a narrator
I guess Mirror Knight's lightning defense is somewhat negated because he is standing in the rain - Water = increased lightning damage
Incredibly localized rain couldnt spare everyone XD
"I truly takes a miracle to dodge into the Pursuer's attacks with 6 ADP."
Me who beat the game with 6 ADP because I didn't know Agility gave more i-frames, dodged through almost every attack, and died about once every three minutes: "I am the church."
Your script is so nice dude. I like your vids in general but this one is rly rly good.
I guess to get through this challenge you need a "Miracle"
Also congrats on 20k
we need more ds2 content, really underrated game, amazing video still slaps one year later
Haven't seen the whole vid yet and scrolled a bit the comment section and saw no one mention it but I wanted to point it out, you mention the chime displaying pretty high AR while not dealing much damage, that's because the shown AR is the magic damage. It's really apparent when you run a dark build, since staves (and prolly chimes IDK I only used staves with dark) display outrageous AR values because they are just displaying the combined Magic and Dark AR (even though it makes zero sense since those are two separate values for damage with spells). It was really apparent when I had a knight build embracing the darkness within him mid playthrough, his treebranch had like 400 AR while the broadsword had 200 with roughly 20 ish in str/dex/int/faith.
tl;dr displayed AR for magic weapon is misleading.
Already a certified hood classic!
HOLY SHIT THE SNAKE EATER REFERENCE IN THE MOST MONOTONE VOICE IMAGINABLE HAD ME DYING 😂 You won my sub with that one.
Big bell energy is just radiating from this run
That damn pupa joke got me kinda unexpected
I just couldn't resist :)
This makes me think an ER Staff only or seal only, (melee of course because magic and Incantations are soooo underpowered in Elden ring obviously) would be a fun one
Dude... For Whom The Bell Tolls, Beelzeboss and Snale Eater references. I just fucking love this guy.
What a way that finish a crappy Monday but with an awesome video from my favorite youtuber
Oh fuck yeah I was just gonna clean the house. Thanks for the top tier background noise.
You know what would have been cool? If Velstäd's Sacred Chime had a gimmick to it's Weapon Art. Depending on what miracle you have equipped it would add on a secondary effect to either buff the weapon or be channeled through it and like the orbs it shoots out. Let's say if you had Lightning Spear equipped. You could use the weapon art to either buff the weapon with the Lightning Spear or have it fire out many Lightning Spears at the cost of one cast of the spear and durability from Velstäd's Sacred Chime. I know DS2 is an old game but it'd be cool if they added a weapon like this in the other games. One for each class of magic would be cool. Imagine a sword that changed secondary effects depending on what sorcery you had equipped or a curved sword that was based on pyromancies.
Dude I laugh way to hard at that nun joke. Congrats on 20k my guy.
LMAO THE TCAP REFERENCE 😂 Goated*content creator fr, keep up the good work!
I love the Tenacious D reference!
Instructional dark souls content is now my favorite type of comedy
The most offensive joke on this video was the horrible “for whom the bell tolls” remix
25:57 Bimmy didn't put you in hyper mode, Jimmy did.
Ah yes he did. Well spotted
I genuinely like DS2 status mechanics and weapons. The best out of the whole series just seems like you can use anything as a valid weapon. Well, besides immolation.
The mitten squad of souls
Brimstone is simply an archaic way to say "sulfur"
I like the for whom the vell tols at the start but it feels weird when you sped it up
blasphemous vibes
speaking of, a blasphemous challenge run would be sick. maybe like a no rosary bead, no relic, no sword upgrades, and no prayer run?
Oh you mean the game Blasphemous? I actually never even played that game
@@PressContinue id definitely check it out. it’s got a very strong gothic spanish vibe going on. and the writing is top tier. not to mention the bosses which are some of my all time favorite to date
I didn't realize you could kill him for the dragon chime I thought I was good at soulsborne games I've platinum them all
Another Gem, Thank you press for the reminder that there are good things in this world
it was my first ds game and i genuinely thought this was how you would play a cleric
LOL, well... at least now you know that it can be done.
The ladder Lords prayer was hilarious
Plenty of good wordplay in this one, my dude!
I got so many nostalgia waves hearing For Whom The Bell Tolls right? … Just me? Okay.
Great video and congrats on 20k subs I will wait for more challenges on Elden ring
First time i see someone use chimes for melee attacks only. Did not even knew chimes could do physical damage.
Ironically it doesn't count as physical damage but split lightning/dark damage. Which is kinda weird when you literally smack people over the head with it
Honestly, the Pursuer is the easiest boss to time with low ADP. ADP is one of the *last* stats I personally upgrade, because I'm dumb and never realized that ADP gives you I frames
love your taste in music
I never thought I would ever hear nightcore Metallica but I was proven wrong.
LOL guess it's along those lines yeah
This the the true meaning of I CAST FIST
Inspired by Bellistotle, Thomas Achimeas wrote, among other things, a magnus opus which included 5 proofs for the existence of Gwyn
Ah an educated man. All hail the uncindered first cinder
@@PressContinue lmao. Have you read anything from Edward Feser? Skimming the comments, you mentioned that you were part of the skeptic community so I’d be surprised if you hadn’t at least heard of him but if you haven’t read anything from him I definitely recommend.
Nah, it has been 10 years since I dealt with that kinda stuff. Different era so to speak
@@PressContinue understandable. I had just figured you might find it interesting since you clearly did your homework for some of these jokes lol. Feser is a Thomist, not an atheist, I haven’t made that clear
This is my next 36 mins sorted. Great stuff :)
How the hell did you manage to pun Modus Ponens? I didn’t think modus puns were possible.
Surprise DSP appearance! Great vid btw
your commentary is perfect and you really remind me of barons castle
"Allow me to chime in"
How...DARE you
POV u didn’t pay attention to miracle class
Great content, thank you so much, mister Press Continue!
Ah shit I was working on this exact challenge for a video myself not sure if I should post it now, well at least you got it done I was only halfway through production... Well done!
Everything has been done already. So that's not something to worry about.
@@PressContinue That's inspiring I think I will continue with it then
You deserve more likes for the intro
yo can i get that fast version of whom the bell tolls in my playlist plz. It slaps
I just made that edit myself. So afraid I can't help you there.
Monty python joke turned me into a newt but I got better nice
what has Najka done to you to deserve this. I hate how long I was smiling through the Gwyn Frampt bible verse
Excellent work! I love the videos PC!
Where is the audio from at 32:57?
The sheer joy of cheesing plus the sliminess of the voice makes me think it’s the one and only Dips!?t Phil.
Love the dsp sound clip at 31:05 and 32:55
my god that man is cancerous lol
Love seeing some tenacious d recognition
Another great intro song would have been Hell bells by AC/DC
lol. from whom the bell tolls. reminds me when I was a child. 😇
The amount of strange references to proofs for God, religion and so on in this video is utterly unbelievable.
It's a little throwback to when I was part of the atheist/skeptic community here on youtube, over a decade ago by now
@@PressContinue That explains how many of them were surprisingly clever.
whats the song in the beginning?
Metallica - For whom the bell tolls
Aww, shucks, no velka hammer bell.
*velstadt hammer
Sowwy
33:28 nearly shit myself hearing this, they had us learn a hand… sign… dance (?) to go along with this back in Catholic school. Weirdly Protestant type behavior but it’s funny as fuck to look back on.
13:20 lmaooooo
I remember discovering the power of a solid chime wack.
I've been playing DkS2 without using any estus or lifegems, and had the disc chime as my shield for fashion. A panic'd two-handing smack of it revealed it was doing nearly as much damage as my actual weapon.
Yeah the disc chime is absolutely crazy. If you use that for miracles, you don't need miracles in the first place
The video was awesome, but can you put the name of the songs
Intro was an edited version of For whom the bells toll by Metallica. The double dragon theme obviously during the double dragon rider fight which was a guitar pro version I edited myself. And then of course there was a sped up version of a techno spoof of our god is an awesome god
@@PressContinue Thanks
Very punny, very punny indeed. Deus vult!
Hippity hoppity the shield is my property lol. And where'd the gay priest go lol
BIMMY AND JIMMY?
Bimmy isn't even a real name!
Pain
... in the bells
@@PressContinue I read in the balls. But I gather that may be the point.
Brimstone is an old name for Sulphur
There's a slight posibility that I might knew that already and simply was making a joke. Only a slight possibility though :)
@@PressContinue I figured
@@snakesan520 Well to be fair, hopefully a lot of people will comment about it anyway just like when I joked about not knowing the difference between dragons and drakes. After all, more comments mean more push in the algorithm so in that sense it's kinda helpful :)
@@PressContinue yep
Best jokes only
The jokes! 🤣
The reason lightning still does good damage against LGK is because it's raining. You're both wet, so you both take more damage from lightning. His resistance really just brings him up to normal.
Ah so the arena was fine-tuned for lightning damage
dark damage should still be higher however, dark urns vs lightning urns show that difference, plus testing too. There is probably an issue with pure amount of lightning vs dark on the chimes where the caitha chime is too low to win despite Looking knight being weaker to dark.
@@PressContinue Ironic how the one boss intended to be lightning resistant has lower lightning resistance than it should due to the environment lol
The intro is the best joke ever, also, when are you going to do this with a pyro flame?
Maybe I will
The pyro punch
@@PressContinue FALCON PUNCH
@@PressContinue have fun with fume knight's 88% fire resistance
This run sure...rings a bell
Well it is essentially miracle only... only without miracles :)
Starting off with a meth addicted Chipmunk's rendition of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" sets the perfect tone for this hilarious vid. The Monty Python reference was especially nice. Press, congrats on the 20k subs!! 🤘😁🤘
Thanks Mr. M. Bastard :D
I like the porkys reference to mrs ballbricker with his character name mrsbellbricker
This has gotta be one of my favourite videos you've released. I'm always amazed how much damage even the most unideal weapons can do in DS2, spell tools, broken straight swords, shields etc. Truly we were blessed by the B Team.
B team best team
30:32 just to be precise, the Demons in DS2 have a different name in the original japanese. It's the translation's team fault
Aaaah so they used their translation B-team as well
@@PressContinue
The same guys who made the translation of Bloodborne Kart
@@PressContinue got 'em. I hope they can feel the heat from that roast, I know I can.
@@royalsoldierofdrangleic4577 Wait, what's the Demon of Song called in Japanese?
Let’s face it, the disc chime has a stupid high damage, it would be my “chime only” and “shield only” run choice
Yeah, it's probably one of the better shields for a shield only run. Ironically as an actual shield it's not all that great
@@PressContinue yeah, which makes sense. I'd compare it to trying to block bullets with a tennis racket :P
@@PressContinue only problem is its classified as a chime not a shield so not usable in shield only.
@@LeiraVeil-Challenge isnt it both tho?
@@explosion1704 things can only have 1 class in this game. its told to you right there on the stat screen. disc chime clearly says chime. so its a chime. shield crossbow clear says crossbow so its a crossbow. it doesn't matter what it functions as what matters is what it actually is.
This video has an incredible amount of homoerotic energy and I'm here for it. That Velstad fight especially was very steamy.
LOL, all those bell ends right
@@PressContinue as a lesbian, this is definitely was I imagine gay sex is like. Two men slapping eachother's bodies with their bells. Pretty sure this video was a documentary.
Tf
13:39 A copse is a small group of trees. In a functional sense of the area's name, a small forest of hunters.
it is only now in 2023 that i realize it was "huntsman's copse" and not "corpse". the amount of shock i'm in is actually impossible to describe in current human language systems.
this, unironically, summed up my first couple hours of playing Dark Souls 2, because i picked Cleric, and i did not know i had the mace in my inventory
THE BANGERS WON'T STOP
Give this man a Netflix special.
These are such well made videos man you're one of the few youtube guys who can actually make jokes without being insufferable
WITHOUT being insufferable? Can you go and talk to my family and friends perhaps?
I love how one of the constants about this game for me has become "hitbox argument? how about NG +7 lost sinner with double broken straight swords and only 6 ADP?" It's such a perfect response, because i still can't believe you did that despite watching it. your content is amazing.
I never usually get to see your videos this early on because I am new to the channel, but this time I could. I wanted to let you know that I have been bingeing some of your guides and really enjoyed your content. Your guides are practical and helpful and your editing is great too. Your video was the one that inspired me to try a DS3 SL1 run for the first time and succeed. Keep up the great work!!!
6:11 wonderful reference. That's it. This is an S tier souls channel.
Slightly late but at 14:18 you can start at the second bonfire, go up the ladder, go around to take care of the ambush guy then standing from where he is, run straight to the item. No roll, no jump, just run. You will land exactly where god intended.
That's really cool your dad was a nun. My dad was a traveller. Mom said he picked that job up when they had me
Also this whole video is loaded with jokes I love it
2 minutes in and already I know this is going to be my favourite video of yours
