- Dark Souls is a game full of magic types and weapons, but your toolbelt has some room for some pretty cool tools to help complete the game. But what if you said no to all the regular methods and only used the items on your toolbelt?
Spoiler warning: Yeah, you can win. But if you want to beat every boss prepare to experience PAIN.

And this is how Kyle single handedly revitalized the economy of Lordran and allowed the three merchants to retire as millionaires
Really awesome job on the DLC by the way and let 2022 be an even better year for your channel!

I see legends respect legends
What dipre said
Now beat the game with only charged r2s
I love when my favorite TH-camrs watch each other’s videos
"Super wait a moment is vulnerable to toxic"
That made laugh harder than It should have.
GG, my guy. Those DLC fights sound like they were insane.
You might just be giving me a run for the money on the title "Patience Elemental" haha
Can't wait to see what you do next year!
Back logs thanks for the tips during the premire and also th-cam.com/video/MNjCToEo-zY/w-d-xo.html
OMG The Backlogs you are one of my favorite TH-camrs
@@Yarrick517 same hahaha th-cam.com/video/MNjCToEo-zY/w-d-xo.html
Holy shit it's Lemon
I'm looking forward to a year of your content too bud!
I litterally found your channel in December and binged a ton of your vids.
I love how you almost got through the Delete Agenda and Wait a Moment fight without cracking.
he cracked up right as the fight began
Hey Kyle, you can use that strat on capra demon with the dung pies to completely negate the need to enter his boss room :)
Fire bombs work better in my opinion its way faster
A little late for that lol
You only can buy the dung pies after killing the Capra demon, cus the merchant that sells it only can be reached after the Capra, by the sewers shortcut
@@DHSV2310 Capra doesn’t block the path to the shortcut, you can walk right past the fog wall and head over to the Female Undead Merchant.
@@DHSV2310 firelink > aqueduct > female undead merchant > capra is actually a really common path if you're struggling and need more estus but don't want to kindle other bonfires
"Worst Lo-Fi I ever heard" caught me so off guard, my god.
10:10 for anyone wondering
Because I know you'll appreciate it: that music drop at the dlc was some of my favorite editing I've seen from you.
After seeing that Artorias fight, I DO believe in miracles! Nicely done, you madman.
Great video as always! I was there live while you were fighting Artorias. I have a challenge idea but idk if it was suggested before.
Can you beat Dark Souls without souls?
Basically anything that costs souls is not allowed. So for example; no leveling up, no buying items, no upgrading and no repairing.
That is a good one
And also th-cam.com/video/MNjCToEo-zY/w-d-xo.html
Yes you can it is pretty easy actually
@@emeraldwolf7920 Yeah I'm aware that it's by no means impossible but so are around half the runs Kyle does. I phrased it that way because that's roughly how he could title it. It's basically a harder SL1 run. I'm curious if not being able to repair weapons will force him to vary his weapons more and weapons that aren't upgraded are a lot weaker than fully upgraded ones.
Anyways the point is that it isn't nearly as hard as consumables only but he might need a break from such hard challenges since he might go crazy haha.
Would love to see this + Cursed the whole game + Lowest VIT starting character.
These kinds of challenges really show how well thought out and balanced souls games are.
If you ever want an “easy” challenge that people still enjoy watching, try Fist weapons (punching and claws). If that’s too easy, narrow it to punching weapons only. Still too easy? Vanquisher Ring in DS2. I had a lot of fun with Caestus/Bone Fist in DS2.
DS1 challenge is just getting to Andre without a weapon. DS3 is a real pain, because you have to get through Gundyr and Vordt with tickles.
In ds3 I just dodge, or use a shield, and also go for highest strength, helps with latter parts of the game. Then ds1 isn't so bad, since the one boss you have to kill is easy. But ds2, thats easier at least for me with fist weapons only.
@@theeviltwink Congrats on tickling them to death!
Vanquisher ring is easy and fun. Maybe that + no rolling would be a major challenge though
Funnily enough I'm doing an fist only run in DS1 only allowing Caestus as equipable weapons and shields to block or parry, let me tell you early game feels like hell but by the time you get through Sen's Fortess you'll be doing decent with the caestus
I'm at dlc though and the difficulty spike is back, but I might be underleveled
@@TheeKing313TH-camhow did It go
"delete agenda and wait a moment" I wish the poorly translated mod got this instead of "Dragonslayer Ornstein" (literally unchanged) and "Beautiful Craftsman"
You should try to beat every Dark Souls 1 boss with its own weapon. So beat Asylum Demon with the Demons Great Hammer, Taurus Demon with the Demons Great Axe (I think?), Moonlight Butterfly with the Crystal Ring Shield, Gargoyles with the Gargoyle Tail Axe, etc etc. This will obviously have to be done in NG+ since you can't use a boss soul to make a weapon to fight the same boss you got the soul from. But still, I think it would be a pretty cool idea. (Killing Seath with the Moonlight Greatsword, Sif with Artorias' Greatsword, Gwyn with his Greatsword, I think watching those would be really fun.)
Moonlight Butterfly you could also get the Moonlight Butterfly Horn (a spear that does purely magic damage)
Although, Ceaseless Discharge, Centipede Demon, Stray Demon, Bed of Chaos, and Four Kings don't drop a boss soul that you can transpose. That run could still be really fun to watch
@@Hopeful_Husker You raise a good point. I didn't think of that at first. Hmm.... Maybe killing them with the weapon from the boss before them? Or armor of thorns just to make Kyle rage again 😂 But yea maybe killing Four Kings with Artorias' Greatsword because Artorias was suppose to conquer the Abyss? And Stray Demon with the Demons Great Hammer, since it's basically just an AOE spam Asylum Demon? Idk the specifics but the ones that it does work with would be cool. If I was good at the game I would try but I have 12+ hours and haven't even beaten Quelag yet 😭
@@Hopeful_Husker is she immune or just highly resistant to magic.
You telling me Kalamet has to be defeated with the Obsidian Greatsword? That alone is a challenge video.
@@cuddlequeen3225 Fairly certain she's highly resistant, but I know she's not immune. For one, Witch Beatrice is her summon. For two, I fought her as a sorcerer, default catalyst and 30 soul arrows, only did 34 damage per arrow at intelligence 20. Heavy soul arrow did 76-ish. So highly resistant. Then again I've been playing the original on the ps3, not the remaster.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Shutup it's the 31st
And happy new year
You as well
@@jonquese8340 happy new year man
Same to ya mates
Holy cow! That ‘footnote’ was excellent and perfectly executed! I went back to listen to it two more times before I watched the rest of the video-I was just so impressed with it.
The O&S names…well, they make sense.
Also, I hope you and the channel have a great 2022!
Hell yeah!
Unfortunately I don't have time to watch this right now, but I'll be on it tonight. Excited to see how you deal with the DLC bosses and Gwyn.
These challenges are awesome. Also really enjoy your music choice and editing style!
Hello Kyle, loved the video and would love to see something simmilar in the future for other games (with its respective break, of course; this must have been exhausting). I also thought that, since there is no armor of thorns in DS2, it would be very interesting to see an Immolation-only run as a nice counterpart
Great run, and I appreciate you putting the music used in the corner
FromSoftware: teaching us all new thresholds of patience.
Can't wait for the DS2 Pyro run. Getting both the Dark Pyro Flame from The Gutter, and a Fragrant Branch to free Rosabeth, before you can attack will be interesting.
You can break the pot by rolling and you can reload the area to have her spawn outside
@@emeraldwolf7920 Oh, of course. My thought was the soul cost. Although I guess the jump by Cardinal Tower takes care of the branch.
Edit: And I forgot that there's a Branch in the same building as the Dark Pyro Flame, so that's even easier.
Iron Keep and Brume Tower will be an absolute nightmare.
@@arellajardin8188 Toxic Mist will be the savior of the run. Probably going to get two or three copies.
@@becomingsentient1208 I’m genuinely surprised poison and toxic work on a flaming suit of armor and a giant lava monster.
Gosh I love this vid, even watching you do challenges I've seen others do is so much fun.
A really fun challenge that I have never seen done is something like a Dark Souls 1 Strength Penalty challenge.
Essentially, you can only do damage by using melee weapons you lack the strength to swing, this causes stamina expensive, slow swings that do greatly reduced physical damage, but elemental damage is normal so that can be a big help.
I think it would be very cool :D
Challenge idea: starting gear only. Whatever armor, shield, and weapon(s) you start with are the only things you can use. I'd probably allow rings (since you have to wear the ring for 4 kings) and I'd allow upgrading your weapon/armor, but you could try without. I think starting class choice is interesting. If you pick sorcerer, for example, you start with a catalyst so you can actually use sorceries, but you're stuck with your garbage armor and shield.
So, basically, a normal sorcery build?
I like this a lot but I feel like getting any new sorceries kills the fun of it. Especially cuz they're so damn busted. Personally I feel like Knight would be the best for it and just upgrade that endurance quick
I don't know if you guys have seen it yet, but the Wanderer class is kinda broken. Like, it MELTS health bars. My only issue when I tried it was, and it was my own skill issue, haha, the Hydra in Deeproot Basin was a little tricky to beat. But other than that, it was fun.
Ima bout to stare at this premiere for 12 hours until it plays something
same lmao
Dude I can’t belive he’s doing this when I was going to start making dark souls videos I was going to do this cause he didn’t do it already so I guess that only leaves cross bows only for my channel
th-cam.com/video/MNjCToEo-zY/w-d-xo.html
@@YourDapper1u can still do it tho!
Pyromancers be like: "Look at what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power"
So glad I found this channel. It’s like a hidden gem.
You definitely deserve a like and a sub for spending nearly an hour each on those three boss fights. Well done.
As someone who just beat dark souls for the first time, this is an otherworldly feat. Congrats dude 👏
I have an idea for a challenge that might not be very difficult, but certainly interesting.
"Can you beat Dark Souls by over-preparing as much as possible?"
What I mean by that is that you have to defeat every enemy with the best / most effective damage type, basically trying to counter every enemy in the game.
The actual damage output isn't important, so you can't just use the same overpowered weapon for everything - it's more about the damage being efficient.
Skeletons have to be defeated with a blunt divine weapon. Demons have to be killed with a Black Knight Weapon and so on.
It won't be very difficult, but I think it would be interesting to watch you plan ahead and get the items you need to be prepared for every encounter.
Dude, your script and the way you comment is absolutely awesome, keep the good stuff coming
Delete Agenda and Wait A Moment sound like stand names
You can dodge all the magic attacks of Manus without the pendant though
For the ''rain attack" sprint in a straight line (though he can hit you himself while you are doing that. Usually he roars achieving nothing though)
For the attack that looks like dark bead roll sideways (more than once if needed)
For the attack where the dark orbs come at you in a circle just run towards Manus. The circle doesn't come to a full close
For me at least this is easier than using the pendant, because i don't have to manage the consumable bar all the time
I was looking for ds1 only consumables run and when I gave up I got ur video in recommended!
With these challenges I like that you answer the question right at the beginning.
Dude, I just discovered your channel and I was binge watching all of your Dark Souls challanges, and now you just posted a new one ? The timing couldn't have been better :D
Ds2 consumables only next? Slap some covenant of champions on there. Would love to see it Kyle, ds2 is my favorite and I dig your souls content.
Absolutely phenomenal music choice, along with highly intelligent input/tips and tricks. New fav TH-camr.
Man, the DLC bosses in this challenge would require me to take a nap after every attempt, just the focus required for that long would be absurd
Absolute madman. I also love that all the music for these videos are Zelda and Pokémon lol.
Something I find funny about the OG darksouls challenge runs specifically
Artorias is almost ALWAYS a roadblock for one reason or another, with the kings being a close second.
Bro, i love this channel so much it makes me motivated
i missed the premiere due to work and was super excited to see the video. didnt disappoint one bit !
Gamers weekend: did you get all that?
Me with auto generated captions: yes… yes I did
GW is going in an Ymfah vibe that is AMAZING
9:24 how did he only die twice up to this point, this guy is insane 😳
Probably the whole armor of thorns and no stamina thing thook his reaction time and muscle memory to a godly level.
Yes, I’ve already done it! I’m happy to see I already have made a video doing this 9 months before a big TH-camr did.
This is something that I have seen speeruners struggle with, specially in randomized runs:
Can you Beat DS1 by being extremely overweighted?
I think the max amount of overweightness??? I think is over 150% max weight... So thought this would be a ridiculous challenge...
QUELAAG’S NOT IMMUNE TO TOXIC!? I did this challenge too (minus the all bosses part) and I didn’t know that. Wanna know how I killed Quelaag? I bought 99 throwing knives and 99 poison throwing knives. I put them in the bottomless box. Then I bought 99 of each again. Before fighting Quelaag, I dropped my 99 poison and non poison knives right next to the fog gate. Then I walked back to the bonfire and grabbed the knives in the bottomless box. Then I fought Quelaag. When I ran out of knives, I grabbed the knives I dropped from THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FOG WALL! I did all of that when I could have just killed her with dysentery…
very very dank, great work. your editing is getting so good. keep it up my guy
Damn man, you're insane. You have full respect from me. Happy New Year!
Over a decade later and there's still challenge run videos being made on this 2011 game
Mr Kyle sir, I must say this is much improved editing and comedic timing over your past videos. The quick cut on your laugh at 'Super Smough' was perfect, as was the silent moment after missing Priscilla. Kudos to you.
Dude, I’ve missed you haha
Happy 2022 and praise the sun!
I Love your Challenges, pls do Dark Souls 3 Challenges too :)!
Great video as always. NOw I'll wait for the rest of challenges!
Man i kno its a small thing but
Thanks for putting stardew valley music at the beginning
Finally I'll sleep peacefully
Fine work! Also I haven't hear that song for your outro in a while, takes me back to 2015'sh :]
this is alsways such a fun time and seeing this channel grow is so cool. Keep it up
Nice video dood, and great job beating the DLC too, that didn't seem easy
The dedication here is something else
One thing that helps this (insane) challenge is the fact that consumables do inflict more counter damage, like normal weapons. So you could optimize the consumption of items by attacking during their attack animations.
Happy new year, that was one of the cleanest consumables runs I've seen. Great job
That was amazing!! Love all of your challenge videos!
17:17 That's some kickass editing
Head canon: the explosion at the end was the result of the pocketed 156 firebombs that ignited upon kindling
i remember watching this live! Interesting to learn how long it takes to prepare the main video! Well done.
Wow. Youre crazy man! :O Love you, great work man! Once again though, could you try a video without fast winding the bosses please?? Thanks
Your videos are awesome and so eye opening to the mini details of the souls series
You took 2 attempts to beat Kalameet only with consumables... Me: Died for the 74th time for this fucking bastard with +5 black knight sword, max armor stats, lvl 82 etc.. You're a legend mate, I really would like to see the whole walkthrough cuz this is legit amazing!
Damn... Thanks for your great videos and hopefully a great 2022 to you dude
For me it's a challenge to remember to use consumables.
They're just not useful enough for me to bother.
Amazing job, this looks like the hardest thing in the world omg. Nice job! :D
Sheeeeesh, my guy kyle be makin' those merchants rich af.
That Artorias fight tho. *chefs kiss*. It was a sight to behold.
Happy new year i hope everyone had a greate 2021 i love gamers weekend and i could not have made it without the joy of watching your videos i have been waiting for this for sooooooooooooo long Thank You!
absolute madman
GG that was a nice video. As challenge i can suggest you the mono-stat challenge. You can only up one of your stat for the whole run. It's pretty funny and i already do it for the three first stat.
This channel is criminally underrated
Without a doubt the best way to watch a DS challenge run
Just started a SL1 run, this will be great motivation to try to progress more. I can't wait
Hey good luck I’m starting a channel to so I know how it is so the best of luck
Hey if you’re on PlayStation and you need help I’m your man
@@bigblinkers hey I am on play station what tips do you have for me
@@YourDapper1 I don’t have any amazing tips, but a strength Pyromacer build is One of the strongest type runs to do if you want to get through the game without too much trouble
@@bigblinkers thanks th-cam.com/video/MNjCToEo-zY/w-d-xo.html
I have a challenge idea! Beat dark souls without walking or sprinting. You can only roll and backstep to move
Hey gamers weekend, I have a new ds challenge for you. Bonfire less. The challenge goes at game start and the only bonfire you are allowed to use is the fire link shrine bonfire, the one bonfire in the start of the dlc, and the Lord vessel only to warp out. Besides that you are free to play normal dark souls. There might be a time you have to use another bonfire but I can't think of one. Also as always no major glitches.
This might be a dumb challenge so don't do it if you don't want to
Love your content man, great job with this run. So goad to see how much your channel grew all year, hope to see it grow more in the future. Thanks for the amazing content, and happy new years
Amazing video as always, Kyle!
Love me some of that Link Between Worlds music :)
I will say though, Crypt of the Necrodancer has some good background beats too
Quelaag being immune to poison but not toxic is like she's immune to the common cold but can still get the flu.
Dude, you are totally cashews for this. Absolutely amazing.
What a send off for 2021. Can’t wait for more DS2! Have you thought of challenge running any other games, non-fromsoft or not?
Hey cool guy love your work praise the sun.
I like the Majula music at the end of the game. Quite fitting, as you now move on to DS2. 😁
I'm gonna call it rn. If you do DS2 Scholar hexes only, it'll probably be the easiest or second easiest magic run overall. Scorceries might be easier but idk for sure
I'm midway through that now as a super-casual. Hexes give you a ton of power, but attunement slots are a real bottleneck. Push 30/30 INT/FAI immediately and then absolutely shove into ATN. Great Resonant Soul will get so strong that your Soul consumables are practically ammo. Dark Fog is fantastic for poison chip damage on Dark-resistant foes. And Darklurker can even be silenced with Profound Still.
Sorcery might actually be toughest this time. So much of your damage comes from single-target Soul Arrow derivatives that just don't keep up as well as Lightning Spears, and if you get swarmed you don't have many options until Soul Greatsword. Sniping is key.
Gamers weekend, bro your a rad mad lad running these challenges, I canT BELIVE you killed artoias on the first try
Amazing run and accomplishment. Thank you.
The only ways I’ve ever come up with to start DS2 with pyromancy are awful. I can’t wait.
Happy new year :) thanks for the amazing work!
Happy new year and I love your videos so much btw
Thank you for your great content, Kyle! I am loving these challenges and having fun. May I ask you a question? Have you ever had issues with TH-cam copyrighting your stuff for the game OSTs that you use (even though you credit them)? I have been hearing all sorts of mixed answers about this and I would love to hear from you. Thank you
Every time you play Metroid music in one of your videos, my inner nerd smiles.
Can’t wait for the ds2 challenge video! Please make it in this format!
I think at this point you can beat Dark Souls without even playing it
I'm calling it rn. The dynamic duo will give him the most trouble.
Nope
Main game, it's them or Four Kings.
DLC, not even close.
I prefer these vids over the streams
