Hey guys, in the four king's fight you can keep attacking them while they are dying and the whole hp bar still takes dmg, just makes it easier. Nice vid.
There's a content creator here on youtube who plays soulsbourne games by the IGN day 1 guides. in the DS1 vid the ign guide author talks about laughing at the moonlig j r butterfly floating down @Bruce-5588
I clicked on the video cus it was on my front page, didn't pay attention to the channel name, and hear "Hey it's Curtis." I was not expecting to hear my name. That woke me up from my half sleep
One thing that could make this more challenging was to start with the Sorcerer class. It has the lowest base vitality, and would limit the usable weapons, at least in the early game.
I was about to suggest the exact opposite to enable as many weapons as possible idk which starting class has the highest dex but that would give you a chance of trying more things while staying true to the challenge
So fun thing about strength and magic builds is that dark sorceries is that these sorceries have a physical dmg component and scale fairly well with strength on the Manus Catalyst. Long story short my ng+ runs end up being str int runs like 90% of the time
Hey guys, great video! I am glad that the channel is growing. When I subscribed it was like 180 people and now it's almost 900! Cheers from Brasil and great work!
My nephew and I are finally playing through DS1 together. I'd played it years ago, but his first experience was the remaster when it first came out. He hated it then, but now he's enjoying it. I'm realizing almost everything I thought was hard when I first played it... aren't. I just had no patience. Max strength really is the most fun way to play for me.
Another great run! For future reference if ur planning to only ever 2 hand ur weapon there is little reason to level strength past 27 because of the immense diminishing returns u get, hopefully this will let u allocate levels more optimally in future runs that allow u to level other stats lol. Keep up the good work guys
Demon's greataxe or the dragon king greataxe are both worth the extra investment in strength, can you really call yourself a strength build if you only use the great club as your only weapon?
@@Afgdgdh some weapons will have a strength requirement higher than 27 to two hand but that doesn’t mean it’s worth the stat investment in an optimal dmg build and are just there for extra flavour. But remember regardless of what’s optimal just use what’s fun to u and enjoy the game ur way
Good video, but you could've done more damage by using the best strength weapon, the Demon's Greataxe. You can get it early from Shiva the Deceased when he moves to blighttown
is this runescape music that's playing at 3:40? I haven't played runescape in years but the music sounds very familiar for some reason and I can't place it lol
Nah but how did you not poise break Golem once? A katana can do it in a couple hits. But the weapon that poise breaks enemies even if it misses, couldn't break golem
Dex is just fine in DS1 and 2. So are int and faity definitely. Strength is always like the easiest path though. Not that anything changes in DS3 and ER. Strength is busted despite what the strength mains will try to argue.
He's programmed to jump to the other side, and he's also programmed to fall off if you hit his arm enough times. If that's not intentional game design, then nothing is.
I think dark souls is considered hard because me and many others prefered to level dex but dex weapons suck unless you use a katana. Edit:Also hope you start doing dlc bosses as well.
i do enjoy the video tho it does bother me that you just talk over recorded gameplay and sometimes act like you actually pay it right then and there. seems kinda odd, still is a nice video.
-1, and for the reasonings why I minus 1 this video, number 1. 2 people cannot play 1 character, this is the first time I was introduced to this channel because it popped up into my recommendations and I love dark souls challenge runs, and 2. the second guy trying to sound heroic and mighty at the beginning of his introduction and through out the video for the construct of his character is/was cringe, if you are going to do a challenge run with a game that can only be done solo unless you are constantly on co-op which would not matter because you cannot co-op at the beginning of the game, give one person the whole dialogue of the video, considering now you are confusing people when you switch between two voices for one character, it makes no sense, are you two taking turns? or is one voicing over your lines of dialogue for you?

Thanks for the info!
Never knew that thx 👍
Even works on the foreskin duo in Elden Ring
I'll use that. I'm in the middle of my first playthrough. Thanks!
Works for Gwyndolin as well. 👍
7:35 That one had all the guys at the office laughing. In summary, I lol'd pretty hard

The subscribe button glows in colors when you say "subscribe"
I love the choice of music in these videos. Fire emblem and hollow knight etc. Very very awesome
Curtis picked music. He just knows what works
Zelda and Mario galaxy 🔥
Ah yes the great club run. Or as I like to call my squish character: El Pancako
The 'it floats down reference' killed me

Thanks! Will do!

Strength-only builds are just assured victory as long as you get the first hit lmao

That's neat didn't know that!
I would look away occasionally and miss entire boss fights by the time I looked back you were killing them so quickly.
dex only
DEX ONLYYYYY 😤
Btw Nice video, awesome as always
Yeyeyeyeye
i look forward to these videos each week!!
Glad you like them!
7:35 PPPFFFFFFFHAAAAAAAAAA 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Strength is the only stat you need anyway

Thank you!
Bro this challenge sounds ez af
Nice dude! Love the content! Hope you get to 1k soon!
Also you mist certainly can make jokes like that lo
I hope so too!

Ds1 max strength is the best way to play the game if you want to enjoy the game without it being too much of a challenge.
Bloodborne maybe? Could be an interesting shift from dark souls
Sadly, we don't own a ps4 or 5. We would do that if we did.
@@CharlesandCurtisSomeday we will see the PC port... I hope.
Well, glad you didn't forget the dool
the only youtuber i see fat rolling
really good content man keep up the good work !
Thanks, will do!
Very fun and enjoyable, as always
Glad you enjoy it!
Just read the title and thought "I mean yeah strength is the easy mode in DS1 unga bunga lover" but only strength ☠️ this is gonna be good
Very nice video bro! Im on my first playtrought and im at finals and try a hibrid pyro miracle build with zwaihenger👍🏿
Keep up with the videos and good luck with the next video😊
These challenges never gets old..❤
unironically did this for my first playthrough. still my fav build
Keep on going it is a great content
I am trying to help you by watching the entire video ❤
Thank you
The Zelda soundtrack though.
A Caestus only would be pretty entertaining, for us at least haha
8:24 my classmates when I enter the room
this guys diff icl seen ur other runs and im surprised you dont have more subs. Earned mine!
alternative title: Can i beat DS?
Yeah lol 😂
I mean, STR only is the default build
@@son_of_the_heavymetal1142 we know
I'm surprised you didn't use the red tearstone ring and thugged it out

@@MaouVallkur The demon's greataxe is way too fun of a weapon for me and I want copies of a weapon I can crystal upgrade that's not just capra's
IT FLOATS DOWN
Incredible man 🎉❤
sir bonkulous
Now, health only
Pyromancy is probably the best way to go about it since it scales with nothing
Idk about you but i like your jokes
Good video, but you could've done more damage by using the best strength weapon, the Demon's Greataxe. You can get it early from Shiva the Deceased when he moves to blighttown
Sorry if I don't understand the dynamic. But have y'all though of doing parallel runs? Sort of friendly competition.
We've thought about it, but it would be very unfair to Curtis as I have way more experience at playing Ds1 than him.
@@CharlesandCurtis Fair enough. Guess the next best option could be Elden ring co-op?
@aurielkudo9595 Yeah, we'll eventually get to eldenring
@@CharlesandCurtis I'll put it on the calendar!
It’s the Guerdo Valley theme song from Ocarina Of Time❤!
if you do vigor only id reccomend the warrior class for its 13/13 stats
It sounds like ''Hey its Lemon''
is this runescape music that's playing at 3:40? I haven't played runescape in years but the music sounds very familiar for some reason and I can't place it lol
There is a run im not sure if anyone has done. Items only but it has to be done through the menu 😅
That run sounds downright diabolical 😂
Good work
Unga bunga mode: activated
You should do bleed damage weapons only
I T F L O A T S D O W N
Since it's a strength only run, wouldn't it be smarter to pick a class with higher base dexterity? That was you have access to morr weapons?
Not really, the club was all we really needed
you guys plan to do any coop challenge in any of the dark souls?
We can't think of a coop challenge?
@@CharlesandCurtis coop thorns only
we need a "God" counter
Nah but how did you not poise break Golem once? A katana can do it in a couple hits. But the weapon that poise breaks enemies even if it misses, couldn't break golem
I have no idea honestly 😅
Who need build when bonk stronk
It took me a while to process this 6:03
Bonk job!
do a resistance only run lol
Eventually
I thought strength was the only way to play this game? Not until you get t o Dark Souls 3 or Elden Ring where things start opening up a bit more
Dex is just fine in DS1 and 2. So are int and faity definitely.
Strength is always like the easiest path though.
Not that anything changes in DS3 and ER. Strength is busted despite what the strength mains will try to argue.
Is the Ceaseless Discharge speed run strat not an exploit?
That's the intended way, everyone does it
He's programmed to jump to the other side, and he's also programmed to fall off if you hit his arm enough times. If that's not intentional game design, then nothing is.
@@quartz97it’s crazy how people seem to think it’s like a glitch or something. Bro literally has animations specifically for it and everything.
@@TREVORVADER I have to assume they just misspoke, but some folks genuinely just don't understand how games are constructed.
Strength Only is easy mode in darksouls
Now is it possible to do a dex run? Nobody gives dexterity the respect it deserves. Anyways if u could do that, that would be nice 👍🏽
We will get to it eventually, possibly within the next few videos.
Actually, you are funny
I think dark souls is considered hard because me and many others prefered to level dex but dex weapons suck unless you use a katana.
Edit:Also hope you start doing dlc bosses as well.
We do dlc bosses occasionally. Eventually, we'll do them more often
Get the Quelaag sword and demolish the game. Also, Balder Swag Sword
