Take their weapons. Use them to take more. Repeat.
Most bosses in Dark Souls have a unique weapon that they drop or that can be crafted from their souls. But what if that was the only weapon you could use?
Would there ever be a point where the weapon from the previous boss wouldn't be adequate?
...have you even SEEN the boss weapons in this game?
If you haven't, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

Elden Ring cost 30% less on steam.
Dark Souls is on Discount on Steam
I have to say: for all the jank, Wanted: Dead is a lot of fun and rather charming. Would recommend
Hey Lemon, why didn't you infuse the demon great hammer with fire? It still bounces of enemies but does 180 damage. There are enough souls around to do it from the start. I could even sdnd you a video of me doing it
Can you beat dark souls as a baldur knight?
I've never really seen anyone use the Dark Hand, so a challenge run on it would be more than welcome if you ask me.
Yes 👏
maybe darksouls 1 with only fist weapons?
@@arandomthingintheabyss2062 he literally already did that
@@SereneLeskovsky oh nevermind then
i remember it being a twink weapon due to its unique scaling
my favorite part is when the backlogs said "its backlogging time" and backlogged all over his games, truly one of the greatest streamers of all time
I cried for the first time since the fall of Jerusalem
Funni
The first TH-camr to get a backlogillion views!!!
What an inspiration
WHY WON'T THIS MEME DIE???
@@jullioaugusto5043it's too morb to die
I feel like this challenge would actually be pretty good in Dark Souls 2, mainly since every boss’s soul is transmutable into a weapon. Some can be be done in the lost bastielle, but very few. Once you get closer to the end game however, every other boss soul becomes transmutable in the… I forgot the name, but the place with all the spiders.
Yes! Do this in dark souls 2!
@@bearseekberserker1761 Thank you! I’m going to be honest, Brightstone Cove Tseldora may be one of my favourite areas. Not for the spiders, obviously! But for the area itself. Most of the world in Dark Souls 2 feels connected (minus the iron keep, the heck was that) and Brightstone Cove feels like a giant cave near Majula.
"RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD!!"
Right down the road?
Right Down... bye bye!
“May your sword chip and shatter.” Is such a sweet line to toss at someone, I’m going to steal that for my dnd campaign
It's a line from Dune
The cursed great sword of Artoris is by far my favorite weapon in this game. The fact it scales in everything means I can just use it forever with my constant ng+'s
Despite the game telling you the cursed greatsword of artorias scales with int and faith, it doesn't. This is because it converts the magic split damage from the blessed version into physical damage, and in DS1, int and faith scaling only works for non physical damage, and str and dex scaling only works for physical damage.
So if you want the actual scaling from all stats, you need to transmute it from a broken sword or straight sword hilt to get the blessed version.
@@lefthandedscout9923 yeah I just went back and saw I had them swapped
A +15 great club or zweihander with buffs is stronger isn't it?
At 66 str a +15 2 handed great club gives 666 damage and 1098 when buffed with sunlight blade using the dark Moon talisman with 99 faith.
It was enough to cut kalameets tail with one r1
@@ryla22Its not as strong but its way cooler
@@yunaka_gaming
It does have the strongest divine bonus in the game, that's 40% extra damage against skeletons, crow demons, and the 2 giant slimes in new londo. It also has a unique 20% damage boost against darkwraiths and the four kings.
I don’t know why but right at the end I thought “What if he now uses Gwyn’s weapon to kill the Asylum Demon in NG+, thus completing the full cycle of bosses.” I know you smited it with the holiest of Fire Bombs and would easily kill it anyways, but would’ve been a fun little touch to see. Amazing video as always and thank you for the content!!
Had the exact same thought! Can't wait for the 30 second video upload of him killing asylum demon with Gwyn's greatsword
He'd need to be on NG++ (Providing he didn't want to cheat it in) to do that, as you can't leave the arena of gwyn, to go and transcend the weapon before NG+ , and you can't transcend until Late Anor Londo so...
@@takedownmg5096he had spawned in every boss weapon before Anor Londo in this video
For some reason, I never get over Ornstein's entrance, man's too cool.
Smough just is there already and there comes Ornstein being all extra and flexing on us scrubs(me and smough)
any reason he didnt use smoughs hammer instead of his spear?
@@supremejonnyyah3426 why would he use the hammer his whole build is for that spear
“Have at thee Gwyn, may your sword chip and shatter” one of the coolest lines I’ve heard to date
Dune reference
Goated Dune quote
Congratulations you madman. Your content was the final push to get me to play Dark Souls. It's fantastic and so is your channel. Cheers!
Good going man! Which one did you play?
look out for ornstein and smough o_o
I’m still going strong and still resisting
@@olivewooled1297 The first, no DLC, on the 360. I'm a fossil. I need to pick up the rest. I ended up building a glass cannon with a bastard sword and enough faith to make some running around easier with Homeward.
O & S were a pain until I realized that a bow made the second phase pretty straightforward.
Don't give up no matter what fellow undead!
the obsidian greatswords aoe attack actually does magic damage, rather than fire, as well as the weapon being buffable and carrying that on to the aoe blast, i doubt you needed much extra help with centipede but that couldve been used for something else in the routing instead

It also boost the elemental damage while using resins
Gold Pine Resin + AoE = tactical nuke
@@doncoria9505That's insane😂
Love the little jokes you spend time making, the enemy running up behind with torch with your scream as you sit at a bonfire. 8:29 just these little moments really bring the humor you wish to show. It does not go unnoticed Lemon.
Until my daughter was about 6 we referred to Dark souls as "guy with sword game"
Lol
So, there are two versions of Artorias’ great sword, one that’s cursed and one that’s not, in order to get the non cursed version (which does extra damage against abyss enemies including the Four Kings) you need to upgrade a broken straight sword specifically
There are actually 3 versions, the regular and cursed variants are gained via Sif, the 3rd is what you get from transmuting Artorias' soul which has a unique look similar to the tarnished version Artorias uses as opposed the the pristine version from Sif and it has it's own moveset based on Artorias' own instead of the stock greatsword moveset, which makes me wonder why Lemon went with the cursed variant instead of the DLC one for Manus despite the fact that if memory serves all 3 have the buff against Abyss enemies.
I light nitpick, but the straight sword hilt also transmutes in to the non cursed version
@sheo3316 the abyss greatsword is also arguably the best of the 3 too. Hella phys damage scaling off having humanity makes it crazy effective for a very long time
I don’t know why, but whenever Lemon uploads, I start grinning and feel like a kid in a candy store. Keep being awesome Lemon! Keep up the great work.
Edit: Thanks the likes guys,never had this many.
I feel like there's a joke there, something about "when life gives you lemon(s)...", but I don't think I'm witty enough today...
I stop doing whatever I'm doing to see the video XD
Same tho
Same great work.
Thats love my man
Gargoyle Halberd is such an underrated weapon. One of the best move sets in the game
Love it.
Yep, after trying basically every weapon, weighing all the pros and cons, the Gargoyle Halberd is actually the single best weapon in DS1
he also snubbed the great machete which has great in the name :(
look at the scaling! the poise damage! the panache! there’s nothing quite like staggering a boss with your giant beat-stick
Sucks that we didn't get more of a chance to watch you use the Quelaag's Furysword, it's one of my personal favorites and one that I use in almost every Caster run because of the low physical stat requirements compared to it's high power and usefulness.
But wait, not every boss drops a weapon. How is this possible?
Some fun trivia, the Moonlight Greatsword hasn't just been in the Soulsborne games, it predates them heh. It's been a recurring weapon throughout Kingsfield and the Armored Core games as well - as a neat thing for those who don't know!
What is in armored core? Is it still a sword?
@@max_360Yep! It's a lasersword called MOONLIGHT or WL-MOONLIGHT! It's very cool :)
@@max_360 I forget the exact name since it uses abbreviations, but yeah, it's one of the laser swords.
@@dragifire You know what would be cool? If the one your mech uses in that game works like how the BFG-10K works in Doom Eternal, where it's acting as a giant amplifier for the BFG9000, except here it's with the MLGS
@@dontkickmychick6076 That sounds cool in theory, but how do you amplify a sword?
I'd be interested to see a DS2/DS3 version since every boss usually drops a boss soul now
Im SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS. Not only has my family and me been waiting for you to go back to more fromsoft content. I just got this game again with my brother to coop the game and its so refreshing to see you playing it the day i get it
Loved watching this livestream, your highlights videos are always a welcome watch.
Guess who just started playing dark souls for the first time.
No but for real this channel is the reason I started playing souls likes.
Have fun and git gud, my friend!
play with lightning Zwei and heavy armour and you'll be able to first try 90% of the bosses, second trying the remainder.
im so happy your channel is getting the recognition it deserves and you're climbing in subs so much! you put it tons of work and it shows
The comforting way you talk is really nice for a guy going through a hard time, and I love it when you upload. Thanks, man!
I look forward to every upload. Your voice and challenge runs are a wonderful break in the monotony. I also appreciated the Dune reference at the end. God bless you Lemon, you are a wonderful content creator.
I will always love your consistent dry humor with the sponsor man, adding Tony any time you can, and puns, even if I don't play any souls games myself, I love to watch you suffer through the communities challenges.
Thank you for all the uploads and content you push out. It’s such a joy to watch. ❤️
I love the idea that in the dark souls universe, your strength directly ties in to a weapons momentum, in turn damage. Like yea you CAN swing that large weapon at a speed that would still cause damage but It WON'T.
Great video!
Also, I would love to see a run where you beat every boss while cosplaying as one of their minions/enemies from the area. I got the idea while beating Gwyn as the knight by his fog door.
Legitimately my favorite TH-camr. Great job man, love the content.
It's awesome to see how much Lemon has grown through his numerous challenge runs of Dark Souls. There were some runs that left him so destroyed that I wondered how he could keep doing them, but it's amazing to see just how well he knows the bosses patterns now, even the dlc.
it was also really cool to see your experience with x weapon (spell tools especially) in previous runs come to play as well. very nice!
Fun DKS1 master race fact: The Gargoyle Halberd is akshewally *slightly* different than the normal halberd! The R1 is a vertical chop, making it pretty useful if you enjoy running polearms. That means it also benefits from the amazingly weird bug of instant R1 attacks when running through swamps, so enjoy insta-slamming the slugs and bugs in Blighttown! One of my PTDE PvP characters runs this weapon, and I can definitely recommend it :)
The biggest sin that every dark souls game commits is making halberds just slower spears
🤓
@@sirkelendor5429 Everyone knows that you spin to win, my guy. Never press R1
Aww, I’m a little disappointed Lemon didn’t use Gwyn’s sword on the NG+ Asylum Demon right at the end to bring things full circle. Really cool concept for a run, and a great watch
Thank you so much for your videos, I struggle with mental health a lot nowadays but I always get cheered up when I see one of your challenges uploaded :)
I always enjoy your videos! I just finished a spell casting tool only run myself and was super fun! I never realized how hard some of them can melee!
Always such a joy to see another souls game run
Wtf??
@@space5089goofy ahh emojis💀💀💀
With the Taurus Demon jumping backwards, I also struggled with it for a while in one of my playthroughs, and I think I know why. I'm pretty sure he won't jump backwards if the jump will cause him to fall off. As soon as my angle on him was bad is when he'd always jump backwards and stay on. When I finally got it to work, he jumped backwards but then didn't fall until he stepped back for his next attack. Similarly, in the video it appears as though his jump didn't make him fall exactly, but he landed on a sloped hitbox and slid off after having already landed.
You're almost right - Taurus doesn't step back if his back is to the ledge, so what you do is you wait for him to be standing perpendicular to the ledge, run towards him to bait him to dash back, then dash around his right side. This makes him turn towards you as he squats down, so when he jumps, his back is now to the ledge, and he falls and dies.
Thanks for the play through- it answered a lot of questions.
I am so happy lemon loved the spell tools only run enough to plug it. It is by far my favorite run he's done and one I do myself regularly after watching that video
Dark Souls + Lemon is always a winning combo!
Whenever you see a thumbnail for the video titled "Can you beat Dark Souls (put in some extra condition)" then the answer is almost certainly yes.
Dude, I love your content and the challenges you bring you make dark souls one look a lot more cooler than I thought
This video is teaching me just how much I've been missing out by not bothering with these things.
The moonlight butterfly Hornspear, and Quelagg's weapon sound like they'd fit perfectly into my main build.
I imagine all the bosses panic as soon as they see you -- knowing full well that you'll keep on coming back -- and just try their best to make you give up because that's the only chance they have.
You are their final boss. I pity them.
That makes way too much sense.
What I really like about your videos and channel in general is that nothing you do seems forced. Like you make these videos out of fun and because you genuinely want to. Thank you for that, and thank you for being you.
this is such a new, fun, and unique take on a game and video style thats been done to death, genuinely entertaining! good work :)
I'm a dark souls one purist, not to say all other fromsoft games are bad, there is just something VERY special to me personally about DS1, but I've become more and more rusty over time, and I love challenge runs, but now I can hardly beat DS1 at all (though I'm currently doing a no estus run) and seeing you do all these crazy challenges, breathing just a little new life into the dying ember that is this game one video at a time, to me it's just incredible, keep up the amazing work!
The Moonlight Butterfly shield is such an underated weapon.
It's rather fragile, but that laser hits pretty hard for how early in the game you can get it.
i max it out for gwen because laser beam hurt
Backlogs knows dune 😮
I only player through DS1 once and it was 6 years ago but seeing the moonlight Butterfly's spear and shield makes me want to play it again. They look amazing.
I never leave comments but I have to say that I love your videos, especially the Dark Souls ones. Thanks for creating them and sharing with us.
I hope you do this for the other dark souls. It's way more diverse. Ds3 is a particularly fun run with figuring out how to do it without using many respeccs
Its arms race in csgo
Always love seeing your vids pop up, keep up the great content lemon
18:40 I love the little head pat the skeletons give themselves after reforming. Just making sure their head is secure and not liable to fall off. XD
As a muslim I don’t listen to music because its haram, and I know that not putting loud music doesn’t make a difference to anyone but it does to me, Thanks lemon
There is no way this is real boi
@@spencerbonneville1087jesus is gay
Stumbled across your vids recently, love the challenge runs!
I only recently got into Dark souls due to pc limitations, currently my pc is barely able to run DS1.
I finally managed to finish the game the other day ago and you were the first channel I found. Not only a challenge channel but also a firebomb lover like me, thank you for making content sir Lemon. You bring joy into this series for me that I never thought could be enhanced to such a level.
DS2 is less demanding on pc than DS Remastered ! the Scholar edition might work
@@tehuselessguig3138 Actually started playing it after finishing ds1. For now it'll be where I am at. Thank you for the advice!
I love these challenge videos.
They are creative and the skill on display is admirable 😮
Great video as always Lemon! Have you considered covering mods/doing mod challenge runs on the channel? I'd love to see your reactions to some of the bosses in the Daughters of Ash mod!
Listen I was so intimidated by these games and only dipped toes into the souls series. You really have helped me relax a little and have more fun and enjoy the game I've beat ds1 ds3 and elden ring after getting into your dark souls content
YES NEW VID. I recently discovered your channel and immediately binged all your DS1 content at once and I’ve been feeling empty ever since.
Thank God another Backlogs video. Also I was wondering the deadline for the DS1 one hit challenge just wanted to see the video as soon as it comes out.
I actually love this, do you plan on doing the whole series like this?
I’ve seen this type of video before but the presentation really kept me engaged I didn’t have to look at the screen the whole time to enjoy the video
Your videos remind me of when my buddy and I did a run with the Depraved starting gear only. We got to O&S in an extremely dodgy manner before we had to grind to level up. That club still gives me nightmares.
Thank you as always, papa Lemon. Bringing us the good stuff!
Love all of it
I've been so long to this channel that I feel like lemon is a buddy of mine that I can listen to while I'm doing stuff, so keep it up man hope we see more soulsborne ring stuff!!!!
you're right. there is a few weapons I've never seen before. I didn't even know kalameet had a tail carve weapon, let alone that it was so cool
27:03 my inner Dune fanatic just screamed. 😊
Love the video! I always wonder where u get these creative ideas to playh the game
I remember doing this challenge almost 10 years ago, just for fun, its a super cool concept in a souls context
I've been watching your old videos and I love how many polygon unraveled references I hear!
Love the content. I wait patiently for each video
I genuinely love the Golem Axe tbh. The air cutter attack is very satisfying, and it knocks darkwraiths off their feet to leave them wide open for a follow up. Also, big axes are underrated.
I had not expected this to become a video after all this time. So this was a nice surprise!
I just used Quelaag’s Furysword as soon as I could because I thought it looked really cool with the flame trails. Helped that I was a pyrodex build.
Great job... wished i would have got to see the full vid. I feel like i got witchfire blue balls just seeing the end
I appriciate the detail of changing to Gwynn's greatsword even if it was only for the end cutscene
Great idea for a run. Not seen most of these weapons used before
That's the kind of run I really like, every run doesn't have to be Ultra Super Hard
Thank you for the good work sir :D
I love Quelaag's furysword. I was so sad when ds2 didn't have it. The wacky la parkour jumping, the reach that helped me cut Kalameet's tail, it was great. 😭
23:30 This is the best part for me.
"Truly, this will be the battle of the ages.
Staff Vs. staff.
One school of magic against the other.
The age-old question of fire Vs. dark.
Finally answe- Oh, wait! One of manus's weapons was dark bead. Anyway"
There is something about the way you were saying that bit. It just is good 😁
so happy about this run please do this for all the souls!!!
I actually greatly enjoy using Quelaag's Furysword. Probably my favorite curved sword in any Souls game. Excellent range for curved sword standards, cool fire animations, as a nerd who loves flashy weapons there's a ton of appeal for me.
Agreed, I had a build around it
These runs are so fun to watch I'm addicted to this channel
Seeing you get that painting guardian sword made me remember of the time when I was doing a strength build (I’ve always really just used dex, never underestimating strength again) I was going to get the grass crest shield, after I got it and with the black knight still being alive I rolled of the cliff and he followed, got his halbert. Was farming souls in the same run and got the balder side sword on the second balder knight that I killed. With the black knight halbert I killed another black knight and got a great sword. Then I got the painting guardian sword to drop when I was just killing them. I was just stupid, but I wasn’t complaining
from one lemon to another, in love your videos.
This man deserves a medal and 2 in the hardest,most ridiculous, funny, and the no one thought of that challenges awards i don't care if i sound stupid or if it sounds crazy he deserves it because he is a king at this
Good job mate! Well done
as someone who used the demon king greataxe for half of my blind/casual playthrough, I can confirm it 1. does look like a mushy oreo and 2. the shockwave attack is really really strong if you actually connect with the axe itself too. try it sometime, you'll be happy you did.
One of the funniest/best channels in history of youtube. Please continue
Dude I am really enjoying this series
Glad to see you make videos
Holy damn, I was suggesting this run back in March, didn't expect to live the day I'm actually gonna see it happening. This is such a fun run and yet so underused it's criminal. There's also fun spin on this idea called cosplay run, where you basically speedrun through the game while collecting all buyable boss armor and weapons with their movesets, and then in NG+ you kill them with their own weapons while wearing their drip. No better feeling than beyblading back at Dancer.
This video actually made me do a moonlight butterfly horn run, thanks lemon. Always enjoy an excuse to try out a new weapon.
I really love lemons challenge runs. Rock on lord of the firebombs!
I am super excited to see this happen in dark souls 2 and 3 and maybe even elden ring
