    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.

    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.

    • @lefthandedscout9923
      @lefthandedscout9923 ปีที่แล้ว +173

      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.

    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

    • @sheo3316
      @sheo3316 ปีที่แล้ว +115

      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.

    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.

    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.

    Honestly, my first play through of dark souls the original edition, changed me as a person. I wish people could go back in time and play it before hearing about it. I was like 10-11 when it came out and the internet wasn’t as big as it is now. I hadn’t heard that I was really hard, so any difficulty I encountered I attributed to my skill level, not the game being extra difficult. Amazing. My imagination combined with ds1’s sprinkling of lore was quite the experience. I became a man that day, when I walked away, refusing to link with the fire…

    Fun Fact: You can jump straight down to the shortcut door in the Painted World. On the first staircase with an archer (the one that overlooks the door), you can run and jump diagonally down at the wall and get over. It's a finicky jump, but if you're having trouble, you can just jump from on top of the building instead. Either way, you'll land right by the door. Just pop in to the Wheel Skeleton room via the door (never use the well) and either tiptoe or deathrun to the switch and you can finish the painting world while exploring barely any of it. Basically just a line from the bonfire to the boss.

    • @ImDemonAlchemist

  • @alanschempp7136

    You know this makes me think of another amusing run type. Speed run through every boss but any time you get a new weapon you have to swap to it till next weapon drop. That includes looted from corpses or dropped by mobs. Point of speed run bit is to not try farming for a weapon off of mobs.

  • @turner319

    Hey Lemon, big fan! Would you do a DS1 run using only the gravelord sword? It has low scaling but high damage output potential along with the ability to toxic. Probably won’t be the hardest run ever but it feels niche enough to be right up your alley. (Fun fact it’s one of only 3 curved greatswords in the game and the only one that has thrust attacks as it’s power attacks)

  • @ImDemonAlchemist

    I really hope you do this again with the other games. But if you do, I'd be fine with you modding the game to either change your stats arpund or changing the stat reqirements. Doing that would allow you to show all the weapons off and not have to resort to cheese and skip using one of the weapons.

    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.
